In the days that followed, Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao's lives returned to normal; Xiao Niangao went dancing, and Yun Jin went to the company.
I also flew to the factory in Guangzhou. Now we're starting to prepare the second batch of summer collections. The first batch of spring/summer collections has been launched and the response has been quite good.
The peak season for clothes is just around the corner, so it's time to stock up on summer dresses, blouses, and tank tops.
And so do underwear factories.
Yun Jin has already opened a clothing factory, so opening an underwear line wouldn't be a problem.
As soon as the beautiful, bold, and supportive underwear was produced, Yun Jin tried it on and found it to be quite good. However, due to the current fabric, it still needs to have underwire to provide adequate support.
Once the fabric is upgraded and the technology improves, the styles will also change.
The mother and daughter were busy with their own things. When the May Day holiday came, Yun Jin took Xiao Niangao and He's mother to the camp to eat fish.
The knife fish in the river were at their freshest, and Yun Jin wanted to eat some, so she took He's parents to the camp. Little Niangao also missed her father.
He Tingchuan drove to pick them up.
It's inconvenient to check Doubao in when flying, so I had to leave Doubao at home. Doubao was so upset that he kept barking.
Yun Jin promised to come back in a week, and Xiao Doubao watched them walk away, howling with disappointment.
Once they arrived at their base, Yun Jin and the others felt much more relaxed.
Sister Gao's barbecue stall is still doing booming business, with many people coming to eat late-night snacks every night.
He Tingchuan bought ribbonfish and waited for them to get home. He then cooked them delicious pan-fried ribbonfish, steamed ribbonfish, or braised ribbonfish, knowing that Yun Jin was probably tired of the same old dishes.
Little Rice Cake has grown quite a bit taller, and she's wearing a pretty dress. Many children in the compound like to play with her.
Little Rice Cake became the king of the children in the compound, surrounded by everyone.
When I told them about the great white sharks, rays, sea turtles, and jellyfish in the aquarium, they were stunned and said there were no fish that big, and that it must be a lie.
It wasn't until Xiao Niangao produced photos as proof that they believed there really were great white sharks, rays, and sea turtles.
That year, many children dreamed of going to an aquarium to see the marine creatures in the rice cake's mouth.
For example, jellyfish.
Yun Jin and her friends came for a vacation and booked a table outside, inviting everyone to have a meal, get together, and chat. Everyone was very obliging and went without fail.
Li Aiguo went with his wife and children.
Wang Xiaoting fawned over Yun Jin: "Sister-in-law, what good things did you bring back from your trip to the port city this time? Show us!"
Yun Jin shook her head: "I didn't bring much. You can't bring too much on the plane, and things there aren't cheap, so I can't buy much."
Wang Xiaoting didn't believe it: "Xiao Niangao said that my sister-in-law brought several suitcases, saying they were checked in. She must have bought a lot of nice things. The necklace around her neck doesn't look like gold. Is it very expensive?"
"Is that bracelet a snake? How could there be such a bracelet?" Wang Xiaoting exclaimed dramatically, "It's terrifying!"
Yun Jin rolled her eyes: "I'll just watch what I like. If you're a coward, don't watch it, or the evildoers will blame me for scaring you."
Wang Xiaoting: "......"
I genuinely wanted to improve our relationship; I truly had no ill intentions.
Yun Jin went to check out the stores again, inspecting several of them. The lingerie stores here were doing well, all thanks to the support of the women in the compound. When they opened, knowing there were discounts, they all rushed to buy underwear.
Red underwear for those born in the Year of the Rat also sold well.
They also sell men's items, and business is very good. Everyone in the city knows that such a store has opened, and people will stop by to take a look when they pass by. In addition to underwear, they also sell pajamas. The clothes and pants in the store do not require cloth coupons and can be bought and sold freely.
If they had cloth coupons, they would still prefer to buy from department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives. Those fabrics required cloth coupons and had to be made by themselves.
If you don't know how to make clothes, find someone to make them for you.
One of the women in the compound had nothing to do after her children grew up, so she opened a sewing shop on the street and also took on clothing repairs. Business was pretty good every day.
There are always families who can't afford a sewing machine and are reluctant to buy ready-made clothes, so they buy the fabric themselves and pay a small labor fee to have it made.
The clothes they make are pretty good, and they're also a good deal.
He Tingchuan took a day off and took Yun Jin and the others to see the lotus flowers. At this time, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, but there were no lotus pods yet, so they could only go to see the lotus flowers.
He Tingchuan also rented a small fishing boat and rowed it among the lotus flowers. The family of three sat on it, and Xiao Niangao picked a lotus flower, two buds, and lotus leaves to take pictures.
The mother and daughter took turns holding the flowers for photos.
I spent the whole morning sunbathing in the lotus pond before getting hungry and coming ashore.
Mr. and Mrs. He waited under the shade of the trees on the shore, having prepared food and drinks, as if it were a picnic.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they even took a nap under the shade of a tree, until Little Rice Cake discovered a snake: "Daddy!"
He Tingchuan looked at the snake with its head propped up as if it were about to attack, and immediately scooped Xiao Niangao into his arms and used a branch to scare the snake away: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's not a poisonous snake, it's just a vegetable snake."
"Is it edible?"
He Tingchuan nodded.
Little Rice Cake said regretfully, "Dad, why did you chase it away? If you had caught it, we could have had roasted snake meat tonight."
He Tingchuan: "..."
As expected of my daughter, while everyone else was terrified and cried, she still wanted to eat snake meat.
That night, He Tingchuan worked overtime late into the night. After he was satisfied, he hugged Yun Jin and kissed her: "Our daughter is so brave. She wasn't even afraid when she saw a snake."
"She's brave and fearless, she won't be bullied or scared." Yun Jin nestled in He Tingchuan's arms, half asleep. "We'll be going back in a couple of days, so you should spend more time with her. She's always talking about her dad at home. It's a shame I, her mother, have to stay home with her. You're doing better than her!"
