Chapter 24: First Meeting

After the twelfth day of the lunar calendar, the shops began to open one after another, and Yumei took Yulan to go to He Xiaoshuang's shop to pick up the cloth head. In the ten days a year ago, He Xiaoshuang was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and Yumei was also busy making toy dolls, so the accumulated cloth didn't move.

The sisters discussed their goals for the near future.

Coincidentally, when Yumei was thinking about this batch of cloth heads, Zheng Mei was also worried about these cloth heads.

He Xiaoshuang stayed at her mother's house for a few days, and only returned home on the ninth day of the first month, and brought back her nephew who stayed at home every day by the way.

He Xiaoshuang always suspected that her sister-in-law and eldest brother had thought about the two-person world, and she thought that her son was an eyesore at home, so she swept her son out of the house like a burden, otherwise when they set off that day, the sister-in-law would not have a relieved expression.

Looking at the thin young man's accustomed appearance, He Xiaoshuang's motherly heart suddenly overflowed, such an unreliable pair of parents on the stall, Ah Shi is really pitiful, no wonder he is so thin and thin.

He Xiaoshuang vowed to take advantage of the time before the start of school to make up for him and strive to raise him ten pounds. So in the past few days, she has been in the kitchen whenever she has time.

Fortunately, business is light in the first month, there are not many customers, even if He Xiaoshuang is busy in the kitchen, the door of the store is still open as usual, and when a guest comes, shout in the store, He Xiaoshuang can hear it, and it will not delay her to take new orders.

Therefore, when Zheng Mei went to the store and took away all the big bags of cloth, He Xiaoshuang didn't notice it.

Although a neighbor next to him saw it, no one had much to do to remind He Xiaoshuang.

Zheng Mei always went to He Xiaoshuang's store to get things at three or five o'clock, and He Xiaoshuang never cared, and everyone else was used to it. In addition, Zheng Mei's behavior this time was very generous, and others only thought that He Xiaoshuang gave her something again, and they didn't think much about it.

Therefore, when the Yumei sisters arrived at the store to find He Xiaoshuang's cloth picker, He Xiaoshuang looked at the empty place under the workbench and was confused.

He Xiaoshuang thought about it for a while, and knew that it must be a good thing done by her shallow-eyed concubine. With the back of one hand on her forehead and the other on her waist, she spun around twice in place, thinking about what to do.

Yumei was thinking about the time to start work, and she didn't notice He Xiaoshuang's strangeness, but Yulan did.

So when He Xiaoshuang sent Yulan upstairs to play with Chen Dong'er, Yulan immediately agreed obediently, and even thoughtfully took Yumei away.

He Xiaoshuang went out to find Zheng Mei, and Yulan walked slowly up the stairs, thinking about what could make He Xiaoshuang's face change.

In Yulan's impression, He Xiaoshuang has always been calm and self-controlled, even if she always has a gentle smile on her face, but Yulan, who was used to seeing other people's faces in her previous life, could see at a glance the alienation and indifference hidden under her smile.

She walked in a trance, and when she went from the second floor to the third floor, she seemed to step on something, her body staggered, she lost her balance and fell backwards, and Yulan was suddenly frightened awake.

Before Yulan could scream, she heard a cold voice in her ears.

"Be careful!"

An arm crossed Yulan's waist and held her firmly, Yulan only felt a hint of soaphorn fragrance passing through the tip of her nose, and the person holding her had quickly retreated.

Magnolia exhaled in shock and looked up at the person above the steps.

The moment she saw the person clearly, Yulan couldn't help but cheer in her heart: What a delicate and beautiful boy!

At the age of eleven or twelve, his face was white and smooth, like the bright moon on the fifteenth day; his black eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples as if they had been trimmed; his peach blossom eyes were calm and waveless, the bridge of his nose was high, and his lips were like early cherry blossoms.

Although the young man of Zhilan Yushu is still too immature, he can't hide his full of elegance.

He stood on the steps coldly, one hand casually pressed on the armrest, and his slender fingers were like fine white jade, which made people forget to see it. Wearing a simple black hooded sports suit, it is refreshing and neat. A pair of white sneakers with an obvious black mark on the upper of the shoe.

Yulan's old face flushed, and she dared to step on his foot just now.

She stood below, no more than three or four steps away from him, and for visual reasons, the young man's figure looked more slender and upright.

Magnolia's expression was calm, and her eyes were appreciative, as if she was looking at a peerless painting.

At this time, the Condor had not yet begun to become popular on the mainland, and the beauty of the ancient principal's prosperity had not yet been widely known.

He Shikai's appearance is always associated with a little white face, and some people often say that he is feminine behind his back, and some people even beat him up with his idea, if he hadn't secretly beaten some people hard, and beat them to walk around when they saw him, he believed that he was still in trouble.

There are also some girls who always look intoxicated when they see him, and they make chance encounters to talk to him, pretending to be shy and timid, which makes him feel bored from the bottom of his heart.

Over time, he became extremely sensitive to the gaze of others, and gradually developed a character of not approaching others.

However, the fat girl in front of him looked at him with no signs of fascination. Her eyes were clear, there was no trace of thought in her eyes, and looking at him was no different from looking at a bouquet of flowers or a tree.

He Shikai's perception of the fat girl is a little better.

What he didn't know was that Yulan was accustomed to seeing the indistinguishable beauty of the fairy little brother who was mass-produced in later generations, and was only amazed by He Shikai's appearance.

Time seemed to stand still, and it seemed like years had passed, but in fact, the two of them just retracted their gaze the moment they looked at each other.

He Shi palpitated with joy, glanced at the stupid daredevil, and bent down to pick up the fallen book. With the movement of bowing his head, a few strands of hair fell down to cover his eyebrows and eyes, and also covered the inexplicable light in his eyes.

Yulan glanced at it, it was a copy of "Economic Law", and she was very surprised: "Can such a young child understand such an esoteric book?"

The old aunt Yulan completely forgot that she is now just a seven-year-old girl, but she shows the love of the elders and the younger generations, how weird it is.

He Shikai picked up the book and just straightened up, and when he saw Yulan's strange eyes, his hand shook, and the cold expression on his face almost cracked.

No matter how precocious he is, after all, he is only a middle school student, and he has not cultivated kung fu to his home.

Yulan also thought of this, and immediately became embarrassed. Just as she didn't know what to say, Chen Dong'er rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, breaking the deadlock between the two.

Chen Dong'er saw Yulan and He Shikai standing up and down in the middle of the steps, and immediately asked in surprise: "Brother, what are you doing?" and asked Yulan happily: "Will you come to show me?"

Without waiting for Yulan to answer, she shouted downstairs through the gap in the handrail of the stairs: "A-Niang, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry! Brother, go read a book, I'll give you food." After saying that, he pulled Yulan and ran downstairs.

She took a nap for two or three hours every day, and when she woke up, He Xiaoshuang had already prepared food and waited. Seeing Yulan, she was very excited and couldn't wait to share the interesting things in the winter vacation with Yulan.

The corners of He Shikai's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak. Anyway, in the past few days, my sister-in-law's family has used him as a pig, three meals a day plus snacks and supper, and I can't wait for him to eat seven or eight meals a day.

Compared with her mother's inconsistency, her sister-in-law is more like a loving mother. Therefore, even if he doesn't like to eat those sweet and salty snacks very much, and he doesn't want to brush off his sister-in-law's kindness, he will eat a little more or less.

As soon as He Xiaoshuang went out, no one was on the first floor, so Chen Dong'er pulled Yulan and walked straight to the kitchen. On the round table in the kitchen is a beige gauze hood over a plate of steaming pumpkin crisp.

Chen Dong'er took a plate and sandwiched a few pieces of pumpkin crisp and sent them upstairs to He Shikai.

Magnolia sat at the round table, her head hanging and thinking about her thoughts.

The name of the company, the registration of the trademark, and the search for a partner are all big things! Yulan pinched her eyebrows and thought bitterly, thinking too much every day, sooner or later she will grow old and decay before she grows old.

Yulan felt that she could just make suggestions, and leave the rest to her brother and sister.

Their advantage is that they are young and energetic, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but their youth is also their disadvantage, and lack of experience is a hard injury.

Forget it, let's take it step by step, after all, people are trained by experience, and no one is born with everything!

The two little girls were eating snacks and drinking juice in the restaurant, chatting about whether they were a match or not. Most of the time, Chen Dong'er was talking and Yulan was listening.

Yulan is absent-minded, and Chen Dong'er doesn't mind, as long as someone listens to her.

I ate most of the plate of pumpkin crisp, and Yumei came back first.

didn't see He Xiaoshuang at home, Yumei asked Yulan with her eyes, Yulan shook her head and didn't speak.

After a while, He Xiaoshuang came back, and her face was not very good-looking.

She told Yumei that there would be no rag heads in the future, and the contract would be terminated early. As compensation, Yumei can make 5 points of profit for all the fabrics she buys in her store in the future.

The Yumei sisters looked at each other, a situation they had never expected.

At that time, when the contract was signed, Yulan added a binding clause out of prudence, but because the price of the rags was not high, the liquidated damages were very small.

If you make a profit of 5 points according to all the fabrics mentioned by He Xiaoshuang, it is obvious that the Yulan sisters have taken advantage, after all, the fabrics that the sisters will use in the future are not a small amount.

Yumei glanced at Yulan, Yulan's lips pursed slightly, glanced at Chen Dong'er with a slight tilt, and quickly turned her head.

This action fell in the eyes of others, and they would only think that it was Yulan's unconscious. Yumei had a heart-to-heart with her, and she knew what she meant immediately.

He Shikai happened to see this scene when he went downstairs, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

At Yumeidi's insistence, in the end, He Xiaoshuang chose to pay liquidated damages.

Looking at the amount and color of the cloth that Yumei needed, He Xiaoshuang was a little difficult.

There is not much stock in her store, the new goods have not been delivered yet, and she can't match the list given by Yumei. Besides, she opened a tailor's shop, not a cloth shop.

After thinking about it, He Xiaoshuang copied a phone number to Yumei and suggested that they go directly to the manufacturer to order it.

When Yumei and He Xiaoshuang were discussing things, Yulan and Chen Dong'er were watching from the sidelines.

Chen Dong'er was confused, pushed Yulan, and asked, "What are your sisters talking to my aunt, why can't I understand a word!"

Her voice was not low, He Xiaoshuang heard it very clearly, and subconsciously glanced at the two little girls, only to find that her daughter looked confused, but the Yulan child looked calm, obviously she understood.

He Xiaoshuang suddenly felt congested, when will this stupid girl open her mind?

He Shikai had been standing in the shadow of the stairs and watching this scene quietly.

His gaze stayed on Magnolia's face, watching with interest at every change of expression on her face.

Seeing the end, he finally affirmed one thing: the fat girl...... There's a secret!

Out of the Lantern Festival, Yushu began to take over the affairs of Yumei's hands.

Originally, Li Aihua planned to entrust the relationship to get Yushu into the township for an internship, but Yushu refused.

Money debts are easy to repay, but personal debts are difficult. Now that the two younger sisters have set up their stalls, he is the eldest son in the family and should take responsibility to protect the old and young in the family.

Li Aihua and his wife don't go to odd jobs anymore. First, the spring ploughing is about to start, and the two can't spare time; second, Yushu told them that Yumei may run outside often this year, and there is no one to take care of her grandmother and Yuzhu at home.

Li Aihua refused at first, Yumei could save her a lot of things at home, what is the matter if a girl's family is not at home every day?

But in the end, both husband and wife were persuaded by Yushu.

Yushu asked: "Do you want to pay off all the money you owe at the end of the year?"

Well, the sky is big, and the money is big.

When the materials are ready, the three brothers and sisters work together, Yushu goes to run the company registration, Yulan rushes to the design drawings day and night, Yumei is relieved to leave a mess at home to run the business, she also wants to win a few more orders, and the month is full.

Before leaving, she gathered all the villagers who had been recruited to work in one place, divided them into four groups according to the process of cutting, sewing, filling, and packaging, and listed the hair flowers in a separate group. He Ximei, He Axiu, Ximei A-Niang Chen Xiaofang, He Zhaodi, and a little daughter-in-law named Li Xiangtao were each assigned to lead a group of four people, and He Zhaodi was appointed to inspect the quality of the finished product, so that He Ximei could take care of everything.

explained to the leading people, and asked them to go to Li Aihua if they had something that could not be solved. and secretly told He Ximei in private that when he encountered something that Li Aihua couldn't solve, he went to ask Yulan.

He Ximei's eyes were about to pop out, could it be that Yulan was a child more powerful than Aunt Hua? But she was a smart person, Yumei didn't explain, so she didn't ask or mention, she only remembered in her heart that there was something to secretly find Yulan.

There is no choice of the place to work, so it can only be placed in Yulan's house for the time being.

Li Aihua cleaned up the front hall for the villagers to use, watching everyone sit around and work together and gossip together, Li Aihua suddenly felt satisfied, perhaps, maybe he could really pay off the money at the end of the year.

This is the predecessor of the new ornament chain Co., Ltd., which later opened all over the country.

From the beginning of this small workshop, the wheel of fortune has begun to turn slowly.

Some people follow the set goal, step by step, courageously forge ahead, and walk out of a broad road; some people look left and right, go with the flow, and achieve nothing; some people bravely chase and try to get closer; some people go against the grain and drift away; and some people never lose their love and regret it.
