It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to City A, Chen Lan took a shower and lay down to sleep directly, and was called up by Chen's mother to eat at dinner time.

Chen Lan walked out of the living room and said hello to customer service Liu Jie, saw a few marijuana bags piled up high in the corner of the living room, and asked Chen's mother, "Mom, is this the new autumn and winter women's clothing?" ”

"Yes, let Jiajia come over to take pictures tomorrow, there are more new models this time, and I will have to work hard for her tomorrow." After Lan Yue's clothing store closed, Chen's mother's mind was on the Taobao store, and she listened to Chen Lan's construction and expanded the scale of the Taobao store.

The more reason is that the experience of opening a store in the past six months has made Chen's mother vaguely anticipate the future prospects of Taobao, and it will take half a month to sell out a hundred pieces of clothing in advance, and now it can sell 100 pieces a day, and there is almost no place to install it in the living room. In addition, Chen's father also started to operate men's clothing, so the husband and wife discussed it and prepared to rent a bungalow on the first floor for use as a warehouse.

Now doing Taobao is just a temporary opportunity, and when there are more Taobao stores in the future, the styles of clothes are almost the same, and the clothes in other people's stores are cheaper than the clothes in your store by more than ten yuan, or even dozens of yuan, Chen's father and Chen's mother's Taobao stores will gradually lose their advantages and disappear in thousands of Taobao stores.

Chen Lan knows this better than anyone else, so he is in a hurry to let Chen's father and mother expand the scale of Taobao store first, set up a studio in a few years, recruit a few designers to come in, design clothes by themselves, and then ask the factory to make ready-to-wear clothes according to the model.

These need to be pondered by Chen's father and Chen's mother, Chen Lan will not have much time to go home after going to high school, and he can't help him for a while, if Chen's father and Chen's mother don't have that plan, Chen Lan won't force them, it's a big deal to write novels to make money, anyway, now that the house is there, Chen's father no longer drives a truck, and his life will only get better and better in the future, as long as Chen's father and Chen's mother are healthy and healthy all their lives, Chen Lan will be satisfied.

Gu Jiayan no longer needs to be fed by others, and after eating a bowl of rice with a spoon in style, Chen Lan turned on the TV and turned to the children's program to show him, and she went to the landline to pick up the microphone and dialed Zhang Jiajia's home phone.

"Hello, the call you are making is ...... down"

Chen Lan frowned, why did it stop again, thinking of the situation at Zhang Jiajia's house, Chen Lan was a little uneasy, seeing that it was not completely dark outside, Chen Lan put on his shoes and said to Chen's father: "Dad, I'll go find Jiajia." ”

Chen's father said, "Don't play too late. ”

Chen Lan's family and Zhang Jiajia's family are on the same road, the two families are separated by a few alleys, and it only takes five minutes to walk over, but the more you go inside, the more remote it becomes, the houses here are rented to migrant workers, and there are people of all religions and nine streams.

The sky was dark, there were no street lights in the alley, Chen Lan found the house where Zhang Jiajia lived with his memory, this row of houses were all bungalows, the door was closed, Chen Lan shouted, "Jiajia." ”

"Shhhhh ”

"Find your sister!" Chen Lan knows very well that when encountering these little hooligans, you must not show a scared expression, once you see your weak and bullying appearance, the more presumptuous they will be.

"Tsk, it's spicy, but I like it."

"My sister is at my house, do you want to go back to my house to find my sister." The young man was flamboyant, and one of them wanted to reach out and touch Chen Lan's face.

Chen Lan casually picked up a broom at the door and sneered three times, "I see that you don't know whether you are dead or alive." As he spoke, he raised his broom and swung it.

"Oh, don't ......," the young man hurriedly ducked back, "we're just joking." ”

"!" Chen Lan said the word "roll" several times in a row, and kept waving a broom in his hand, finally scaring these little gangsters away.

Zhang Jiajia heard the movement outside the door, opened the door and looked, only to see Chen Lan holding a broom in one hand, "Chen Lan? How did you get here? Zhang Jiajia gave up her position and let Chen Lan into the house.

Chen Lan put the broom back in place, and then walked in the door, "I can't get through to your house, so I'll come and see ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the living room in Zhang Jiajia's house had become empty, the place where the TV series was originally played was empty, there was not even any electrical appliances in the house, and the tables and chairs were all messy and fell to the ground.

Chen Lan's face turned stern, "What's the matter?" "It wasn't like this when she came to Jiajia's house last month, and it was obvious that the accident happened today.

Zhang Jiajia propped up the table and chair, and explained in a somewhat indifferent tone, "I...... Didn't the man owe a loan shark, and if he couldn't pay the money, they came to make trouble and moved everything they could use at home to pay off the debt. In front of Chen Lan, Zhang Jiajia no longer hypocritically calls that person her father, in Zhang Jiajia's heart, her father will always be the fire official who died for saving people.

"Auntie is okay?" Chen Lan didn't see Zhang's mother there, and Zhang Jiajia's ten-year-old brother was not there, and those loan sharks came to make trouble, and I don't know if they were hurt.

"Fortunately, the man was punched a few times by them, just now he kept shouting about stomach pain and clamoring to go to the hospital for examination, my mother had no choice but to take him to the hospital, my brother was scared and hid in the room and refused to come out."

"Auntie, it's okay." Chen Lan is also very puzzled, why Zhang's mother wants to follow such a short, fat, obscene-looking man, who has no money and no house, and who can also commit domestic violence. Zhang Jiajia looks like her father, and from her appearance, it can be seen that Zhang's mother's ex-husband should be good-looking, why is he suddenly blind, no matter how Zhang's father beats her, he refuses to leave Zhang's father.

The house was so chaotic that Zhang Jiajia couldn't entertain Chen Lan well, so the two had to stand and talk, "What's the matter with you coming to me?" ”

"By the way, my mom just got a few new autumn and winter clothes, and I'll come over tomorrow to take pictures if I have time."

"Okay, I'll be over tomorrow morning at nine o'clock......"

"Bang", the door was kicked open, and Zhang's father shouted inarticulately: "It's all a group of dead people, watching me being beaten, are you happy if I am beaten to death." ”

Father Zhang's face turned red due to drunkenness, his eyes were confused, and when he saw that there was a woman in the room, Father Zhang smiled, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”

Zhang's mother and Zhang Jiajia's faces were very embarrassed, and on the way to the hospital, Zhang's father suddenly said that his stomach didn't hurt anymore and he wanted to drink, but Zhang's mother only had more than fifty in her pocket, and she was snatched up by Zhang's father to buy wine and drink, and came back drunk.

Zhang Jiajia was afraid that Zhang's father would do something to Chen Lan, so she directly pulled Chen Lan out of the door, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, you see him like this...... Alas! I'll send you back. ”

Chen Lan saw that Zhang Jiajia did not alienate her because of the embarrassment she encountered, she breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Zhang Jiajia with a smile, and cheered her on, "It's okay, I can go back by myself, don't worry about me, remember to come over tomorrow morning." ”

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow." Zhang Jiajia watched Chen Lan's figure drown in the darkness until it disappeared, and then she turned around and entered the house.

Zhang's father was already drunk and unconscious, and lay directly on the ground, there was a puddle of vomit next to him, and Zhang's mother swept the puddle with a broom with a sad face.

Zhang Jiajia took the broom from Zhang's mother's hand, and swept the pool of vomit without changing her face, "I'll come, you get him back to the room." ”

Zhang's mother wiped her tears, "Jiajia, my mother is sorry for you......"

"That's it! What's the use of you saying this now. Zhang Jiajia threw the broom in her hand, pointed at the man on the ground, and the love that had been suppressed for many years broke out instantly, "Look what kind of man you chose, what kind of man he is comparable to, you can marry anyone, why did you choose a ......" Reading that Zhang's father had also hurt her, raised her for more than ten years, and provided her with books, Zhang Jiajia didn't want to say other more ugly words.

Zhang's mother lost her temper when she saw Zhang Jiajia for the first time, and she was so frightened that she forgot to cry.

Zhang Jiajia finally said: "Now that the family is like this, you should think about it." I didn't ask you for a penny in high school, and I won't ask for your money in the future, Zhang Liang still has to study, and when I go to college, I will provide him with education to repay you, and I won't come back if it's okay in the future. With that, he entered the room and locked the door.

She hadn't eaten for a day, she had just cooked a pot of porridge, and she wanted to eat it, but Chen Lan came to her. Now she has no appetite at all, she pressed her empty stomach and collapsed directly on the bed, closing her eyes and forcing herself not to think too much.

The location of this shooting is a photo studio, compared with professional videographers, Chen Lan's half-baked photos can not meet Chen's mother's requirements, since you want to make Taobao store bigger and better, promotional photos are also very important, Chen's mother would rather spend a little money to invite someone to take pictures, and do not want Chen Lan's photos to mislead customers.

Chen Lan, who was disgusted by Chen's mother, had a melancholy face and moved a small stool to watch Zhang Jiajia take pictures.

After the guidance of the cameraman, Zhang Jiajia's posture for taking pictures is more and more natural, and it is not bad with professional models.

After lunch, Chen Lan and Zhang Jiajia rested back to back, "Are you tired?" ”

"It's fine." Zhang Jiajia touched up her makeup in the mirror, she learned a lot of makeup skills from Lan Yue, and now she puts on her own makeup when taking pictures.

Because she asked the cameraman to take pictures, and rented a photo gallery, the rent was hundreds a day, and Chen's mother also wanted to finish the clothes in one day as much as possible, so she rested for more than an hour, Zhang Jiajia continued to take pictures, and finally all the clothes were worn at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen's mother took the yardage that Zhang Jiajia could wear, and after taking the photo, she put the clothes into a bag and handed them to Zhang Jiajia, "Come, take it, this is the hard money that Auntie gave you." ”

Zhang Jiajia didn't shirk, "Thank you, Auntie." But in the end, he didn't take the clothes home, but asked Chen Lan to take them back to his home.

Chen Lan knew that if Zhang Jiajia was allowed to go home with so many clothes, who knew what Zhang's father and Zhang's mother would think, they didn't think that the Chen family would be so kind to send so many clothes to Zhang Jiajia, and the price was not cheap to Zhang Jiajia, in order not to avoid trouble, Zhang Jiajia brought her clothes to the dormitory every time, and went home in school uniforms on weekends.

Chen's mother's salary to Zhang Jiajia is directly into her silver card, Chen's mother's Taobao store only needs to change to a new style of women's clothing once every half a month, sometimes the new women's clothing on the shelves sells well, and the same dress will be sold for several months in a row, so Zhang Jiajia's part-time model does not earn much money, just enough to ensure the living expenses of this semester.

Zhang Jiajia calculated how much money was still in the card, and walked home absentmindedly.

On the other side, Chen Lan is also thinking that it is not a long-term thing to let Jiajia be a model, and he has to find another way to make Jiajia earn money and study at the same time.

Chen Lan also thought about letting Jiajia write novels on the Internet together, but Jiajia did not have the conditions to go online, and she was not familiar with things like romance novels, so it would be a waste of time to write them reluctantly.

After thinking about it for a long time and not coming up with a good solution, Chen Lan took a deep breath and prepared to sleep, when Gu Jiayan, who was sleeping next to him, didn't know what he dreamed of, and punched him again.

Chen Lan took a deep breath again, and finally couldn't help but gently pinch the little bastard's chubby face, wait until you grow up to see how your sister cleans you up, hum.
