Xie Zhi hugged the girl, her white and tender fingers were held and rubbed constantly, her cold skin felt like silk when hugged in the summer, it was addictive.

"Why are you saying such polite things? Isn't my money yours?"

The two played on the swing for a while, and then Xu Jiaojiao fell asleep in Xie Zhi's arms. Although they got up early in the morning, the habit of taking a nap made them sleepy on time.

Noon is the hottest time outside, so I plan to take a break and then buy some flowers to decorate the store.

The clothing store has been renovated almost completely, and it will be complete with some atmosphere. Xu Jiaojiao plans to make a few pieces of clothing herself and put them at the door to attract people. Otherwise, if there is nothing there, no one will come in.

At three o'clock, the fat boss delivered the sofa on time. It was a little old, but it was not a big problem. He just changed the cover on it and it would be fine.

The two of them went out and walked slowly along the street. If no one was selling it here, they wouldn't be able to find it anywhere else.

There was only one flower shop with very few varieties of flowers, some of which Xu Jiaojiao had never seen before. She picked some white and yellow ones according to her preferences, as well as some green leaves that resembled butterflies.

Fresh flowers are not cheap, and the total cost was one dollar and fifty cents. Xie Zhi used clothing scissors to slightly process the flower branches and put them in the vase, following the simple theory of flower arrangement, from dense to sparse.

"I didn't expect you could arrange flowers." the girl said in surprise.

"I learned it when I was a child. I saw my grandmother take care of flowers and other things. After treatment, they can survive longer." Xie Zhi explained slowly.

After finishing these things, it was nearly four o'clock and the car back to the village was about to return. They bought some snacks to take back, locked the door and left.

When the two of them arrived, the car had already arrived. They got in. Xu Jiaojiao's heart was broken when she thought about getting up early every day: "Husband, do you think we should buy a bed and put it there? We can live there when we have time. It feels so time-consuming to go back and forth every day."

Seeing the girl's pitiful eyes, he felt indescribable feelings in his heart, but he was selfish. He would rather let the girl come back every day than let her stay there alone. After all, he couldn't quit his job at the school.

"Jiaojiao, I'm worried about you being there alone, and I can't go with you."

The girl felt a little regretful, but her mood improved the next second: "Well, it's still early to leave the store. I plan to make five pieces of clothing first."

In this way, Xu Jiaojiao began to run back and forth between the village and the store. She got up early every day and took the bus to the store to make clothes. She bought a lot of cool, breathable and beautiful fabrics in the clothing store, as well as a large box she mailed back from Yuncheng and Qingcheng, enough to make dozens of sets of clothes.

The girl displayed each type of fabric on one side in the style of ancient cloth shops, and planned to make some basic styles on the other side. A few photos were posted in the store. They were photos of the sisters who had been transformed in the army. The eldest brother had washed them all and sent them over.

From this perspective, you also need a dressing table, sufficient lighting, and a bright mirror. You can buy one at a barber shop, and also buy some hair curlers and hair dryers for styling.

The girl kept stepping on the machine, making a creaking sound, and soon finished a set. The only thing missing was an ironing machine, as some of the fabrics were inevitably wrinkled.

After the clothes were made and hung on hangers, Xu Jiaojiao began to cut the fabric for the sofa. She chose a piece of dark green patterned fabric, which was her favorite medieval style. She simply made a few pillows and then fixed them to the sofa with nails and needle and thread.

The originally shabby sofa instantly looked brand new, and with the addition of a few cushions and things of strange shapes, it was exceptionally comfortable.

She planned to wait until the weekend and go buy those things with Xie Zhi, and renovate the store at the same time. When she was thinking deeply, there was a noise at the door.

"Hello, is this a clothing store?" Just as the words fell, a girl in her twenties pushed open the door and came in. From the outside, it was not very clear because of the sunlight, but when she came in, she found that this place was so beautiful, like a work of art.

The little girl looked around blankly at the novel decoration in the store, her eyes fixed on the swing chair, and asked tentatively: "Can I sit on that?"

"Of course," she said hastily.

The little girl sat on it with a look of joy on her face. She was cautious at first, but then after making sure it was safe, she became bolder and even shook it a bit.

"Comrade, this store of yours is so beautiful. Does it really sell clothes?"

Xu Jiaojiao explained: "Yes, but I haven't finished the decoration yet. It may take at least half a month." But she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

Linlin smiled, took out an English dictionary from her bag, and hesitated for a long time.

"Can I read here? I wanted to go to the library, but the water pipe burst today and I can't get in. The coffee shop is too expensive, so I want to read here with you."

"You can do whatever you want, but it will be a bit noisy."

"It's okay, just do your thing."

Later that afternoon, Linlin slowly read a book in the store, silently reciting the dictionary in her mind. She also got accurate information and prepared for the college entrance examination a year later.

Xu Jiaojiao was busy making clothes, sewing on the sewing machine very fast, and making some small decorations from time to time. The two of them got along very happily.

Xu Jiaojiao put the finished headband on the matching clothes and also transformed an old hairpin.

"Are you leaving?" Lin Lin asked regretfully.

"Yes, I want to go home. The bus leaves at around 4 o'clock, and if I miss it I won't be able to go back," she said honestly.

Lin Lin took a look. It was half past three. She stood up and put the dictionary in her bag. She looked at the clothes. They were very novel styles that she had never seen before. There were also many small accessories on the clothes, such as hairpins and necklaces. "You made all of these."

Xu Jiaojiao nodded, thinking that this was the most popular layering style on the Internet in later generations, and it was quite fashionable and creative.

"How much is this set? I like it very much."

Xu Jiaojiao looked confused: "I haven't thought about it yet, and the cost price hasn't been calculated yet."

"I'll come to you tomorrow, can you sell it to me?"

The girl blinked, never expecting her first order to come so unexpectedly. She suppressed her joy and said calmly, "Okay, you can come to read books here in the future, even after the store opens. This store only accepts women, so it might be noisy."

Linlin said in surprise: "It's okay, I learned a lot of words by reading books here." She really likes this store.

"Your decoration is really beautiful. I really want you to help me decorate my room."

Xu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up at the casual words: "Sure, but I don't know much about decoration. I can only draw some design drafts."

"It's okay, but I guess I can't find you until next month. I don't have the money ready yet."

"It's okay." Xu Jiaojiao said happily.
