The next day, Daniu went to the garment factory to find Pan Yumei.
Pan Yumei directly let him find Tao Ren. There were many strong laborers in the village who helped build the garment factory. Now there are eight factory buildings, but only three of them are put into production.
Su Li was drawing in the evening when she heard from Xie Qi that Liu Changqin brought his entire family to the home of Daniu and Yang Meiling and brought some gifts. He said that he had no intention of severing ties with his son, but old lady Liu's cheeks were flushed, and it was obvious that she had been taught a lesson. Daniu, however, no longer had his previous foolish filial piety, and now he had to take care of his wife and children, so he was very tough this time.
To be honest, even if they didn't sever their ties, they had separated. Since their parents were willing to acknowledge Yang Meiling, they were still a family. But from now on, they and their husband would do the same to their parents as their eldest brother and third brother did. There would be no more.
Liu Changqin also knew that he had disappointed Daniu this time, so he didn't force it anymore. The provincial governor was being laughed at, and he was a dignified party secretary after all, and he couldn't lose face. But old lady Liu was not satisfied and kept cursing.
The days passed slowly. Su Li and Wang Hong discussed the details of opening a store. As for the decoration, they asked He Rui and his team.
However, He Rui and his friends took on some work, which would take two months to finish, by which time they could wear winter clothes.
Wang Hong found another store in the county town, which was close to the steel plant. Wu Yanhong had an idea. She had made a lot of money by introducing people to buy clothes. Xiaogang went to school, and there were only her and Su Ya at home. She went directly to Shanghe Village to find Su Li, and wanted to work in Mengli Clothing Store in the county town.
The four sisters-in-law of the Su family all work in the factory, and now they are team leaders. It doesn't make sense. She wants to go to work, but Su Li doesn't agree. It's just the only reason. Su Li asked her what about the children. She must act like a worker when she goes to work, and she definitely can't bring the children with her.
Wu Yanhong was stunned when she heard this. She thought her sister-in-law would be flexible, but when she thought about her sister-in-law and nieces who had made a lot of money, she hardened her heart and called her mother over, giving her five yuan a month to help take care of the children. When her mother heard that they would live in the county town and her daughter would give her five yuan a month, she happily came over with her luggage.
Su Li also said something later, the salary is the same as Su Lan and Su Fang, all the stores in the county are under the management of Wang Hong, Wu Yanhong did not say anything, in addition to Wu Yanhong, Su Li asked Wang Hong to find two salespersons in the store, and let her do this, Su Li is relieved;
After He Rui and his colleagues finished the work at hand, they helped with the decoration of Mengli's store, and Su Li also prepared all the necessary things in advance.
He Rui and his friends knew that Su Li's store was specially waiting for them to renovate it, and they were extremely grateful.
A month later, Huaer, Cuifen, and Yang Meiling quit their jobs and came to Su Li. Pan Yumei arranged for them to start studying with Su Li's sister-in-law's group.
The orders from the garment factory and the sales of the stores in the county town are now managed by dedicated personnel, and the deliveries are also done by Zhang Lai, Chen Xiang and Lu Song together.
This day,
Su Li was making bread with the children at home. She baked bread for them last time and they were very satisfied after eating it. They kept talking about it. They would go back to school in ten days or so. During this time, Su Li would either draw pictures, go to the garment factory, or stay at home with them, make delicious bread for them, tell stories, or do some handicrafts and weed in the private plot.
The children were very happy throughout the summer vacation, and Su Li was also very happy.
Just as I put the bread into the stove, the sound of a tractor was heard at the door.
"Is sister-in-law here? Sister-in-law? I'm Shi Xiaomeng!"
When Hu Zi and Tie Dan heard that it was Shi Xiao Meng, Meng stood up and looked at her with bright eyes, "Mom, it's Uncle Xiao Meng, it's Uncle Xiao Meng."
"Yes, it seems to be his voice. Let's go to the door and check. Hey, this guy said he would come over the years. Why did it take so long?"
"Hurry up, Mom."
Several children couldn't wait for her and ran to the door.
Su Li heard the children's cheers before she even reached the door. When she got to the door, she saw more than ten people there, all carrying large and small bags of things in their hands.
When Shi Xiaomeng and the others saw Su Li coming out, they hurriedly greeted her, "Hello, sister-in-law. Hello, sister-in-law."
Su Li hurriedly took off the apron around her waist and rubbed her hands, saying, "Hello, hello, come in quickly."
Zhang Lai said hello to a few people and drove the tractor back to the factory. Su Li asked them to come for dinner in the evening, and they all agreed.
"Xiao Meng, why are you here with Zhang Lai and the others? Do you know them all?"
Shi Xiaomeng hugged Hu Zi and said, "I don't know you, sister-in-law. When we arrived, the captain came to pick us up and asked us to come with the car. The captain has someone else, so let's come over first."
"Okay, come and sit down. Don't hold him. He's a big kid now. He's too heavy. Huzi, get down."
"No, sister-in-law."
Hu Zi also knew that they were tired from the journey, so he quickly got down from Shi Xiaomeng's lap.
Shi Xiaomeng and the others placed the packed bags on the table and the floor. Su Li could tell from the looks that they must have spent a lot of money.
Su Li took out enamel cups and glass cups and poured about ten cups of warm water, which she gave to them one by one. She also took out some snacks. After the long journey, Su Li was afraid that they would be hungry.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, please stop being busy."
"Yes, sister-in-law, we are not hungry, just drink some water."
Su Li smiled and said, "No, you guys are here, why did you bring so many things?"
"It's not worth much. This is some canned food distributed by our team. I'll bring it for you and the kids to try."
Su Li knew that it was not easy for them to come here, and they would definitely not come empty-handed, but no, she would just prepare some things for the store when they left.
"By the way, I sent you some pickles and dried meat a while ago. Have you finished eating them? I'll make some more for you to take with you when we get back."
Shi Xiaomeng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, we snatched them all up as soon as we received them. Your cooking is so delicious that even our company commander came over with his bowl to ask for them."
"It's good that you like it. How long can you stay? Last time, your sister-in-law told you that she wanted you to find a wife."
Shi Xiaomeng didn't expect Su Li to bring this up. His face turned red, and the others also laughed.
"Hey, why are you shy, Xiao Meng? Sooner or later you will have to say wife."
"That's right, don't be shy, young man, why are you blushing? The girl will not like you when she looks back."
"Be more generous, Xiao Meng, show the spirit of going to the battlefield, hehe..."
......
Shi Xiaomeng blushed and said with his neck stiff, "How dare you two say that to me? You are also single."
The two people who had just laughed at Shi Xiaomeng suddenly lost their arrogance, glanced at Su Li, and touched their noses in embarrassment.
Su Li smiled and said, "Oh, don't be afraid. There are many pretty girls in our factory who want to date me. I'll ask them later what they think. If they are willing to meet me, we can meet at our garment factory tomorrow."
"hey-hey..."
"good."
Su Li was about to speak when Li Dan came over and said, "Mom, the bread seems to be almost done."
"Oh, look, I forgot while chatting, I still have bread in the oven, just wait, I'll give it to you to try."
Su Li went to the backyard, took out the baked bread from a basket with bamboo tongs, and gave one to each of Li Dan and the others. She put some charcoal into the stove, put the fermented bread dough into the oven, and baked another box.
When Su Li carried the basket to the main room, Xie Qi and Li Ruiying were holding their children and chatting with Shi Xiaomeng and others.
"Try it now, it's fresh out of the oven."
The freshly baked bread was sweet and soft, with honey and red beans added in it. Everyone was not polite and said it was so fragrant.
