"Son, after you leave here, find a place to live again, and you must open another leather shop to inherit the tradition of our old Chen family."

"Also, we must marry a daughter-in-law and pass on the lineage to our old Chen family."

"In addition, from now on, you must be a man with your tail between your legs, and you can't be as arrogant as before."

On that night when the north wind was howling, Chen Qizi turned out of the window with Chen's father's sustenance, and watched the Chen family's leather store behind him fall into the fire, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the darkness.

After leaving his hometown, Chen Qizi originally planned to find a small place to start a new life.

But he couldn't let go of his hatred, he wanted to find out what was going on with that white butler, and who was behind him to assassinate him.

He wants revenge, and he wants all those who framed him to taste the ruin of their families.

So Chen Qizi came to the capital with the two hundred taels of silver.

It's just that to his surprise, after a year-long visit, he didn't find a housekeeper surnamed Bai in any palace in the capital.

At this time, Chen Qizi realized that the so-called white butler must have been invited by those cobblers who were jealous of them, and everything was a trap against him from the very beginning.

It's just that those cobblers are very powerful, and Chen Qizi is penniless now, so he doesn't have the strength to take revenge at all.

So he decided to live in the capital first, and then go back to take revenge when the opportunity was ripe.

It's just that in the capital of that year, the dignitaries and nobles were not interested in rough leather goods for a long time, but liked silky and beautiful satin clothing.

The few fur shops were half-dead, and even if he opened a new fur shop, he wouldn't do much.

Therefore, Chen Qizi planned to open a silk shop.

A silk tailor and a leather tailor are two completely different professions, for which Chen worked as an apprentice in a silk shop for two years.

I have to say that this product may be a little lacking in human sophistication, but it is particularly skillful in sewing.

After the apprentice left the apprenticeship, Chen Qizi took the two hundred taels of silver and opened a shop called Chen Ji Silk Shop in Zhengyangmen, and married a wife and had children, which can be regarded as fulfilling Chen's father's long-cherished wish.

After listening to this past, Li Weidong sighed in his heart, those people are really ruthless, they can kill people just because of jealousy.

He looked at Chen Xueru and said, "Then did your father take revenge?" ”

"It's not so easy to get revenge, after more than ten years of development, the silk shop has finally grown, and my father has saved a lot of money, and he originally planned to return to his hometown and settle accounts with those leather craftsmen. But at that time, it was almost impossible to go back, and in addition, he already had several children of our brothers and sisters, and he also had worries in his heart. So this matter can be regarded as a delay. Chen Xueru sighed and said: "My two elder brothers are not interested in tailors, they both went to work as workers in the factory, I am the heir of the Chen family's tailors, my father did not talk about revenge when he was dying, but if I have the opportunity, I must sew a tiger skin to fulfill his wish back then." ”

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Li Weidong immediately handed over the tiger skin to Chen Xueru for sewing.

Chen Xueru obviously cherished this opportunity, put down the work at hand, and devoted herself to her work.

Although it was her first time sewing leather goods, over the years, Chen's father had been teaching her the skills of sewing leather goods in order to prevent the loss of the ancestral skills of the Chen family.

In addition, the leather goods brought by the fat man from the Northeast this time are first-class leather goods, whether it is the degree of firmness or integrity, it is incomparable with ordinary leather goods.

Therefore, it only took two hours for Chen Xueru to successfully sew the leather mattress.

Carefully folded it and handed it to Li Weidong's hand, Chen Xueru said gratefully: "Brother Weidong, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity." ”

"You're welcome. How much labor is required. Li Weidong took out the money from his pocket as he spoke.

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No need, you can let me sew tiger skin, you have already helped me a lot, besides, this is not Chen Ji silk shop now, but a public-private joint silk and satin shop, and it does not operate the business of sewing leather goods." ”

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Li Weidong is not the kind of stingy person, so he took the leather mattress over at that time.

As he was about to go out, he stopped again and turned to look at the satin pajamas hanging from the shelves.

Unlike the pajamas sold in department stores, the pajamas here are made of silk and satin, and the styles are also novel.

"What's the matter, if you like it, I can give you a discounted price." Chen Xueru said with a smile.

Li Weidong pointed to a pajama on the shelf and said, "I want this style, I bought it for my daughter-in-law, but the size should be a little bigger, she is pregnant now." ”

In fact, if you think about it carefully, since marrying Yu Li, Li Weidong has not bought any good clothes for Yu Li, and he happened to meet it today, so naturally he can't miss it.

"Your daughter-in-law is pregnant." Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and said, "No problem, the materials are ready-made, but it's going to get dark today, and I should get off work too, how about you pick it up tomorrow?"

"Okay, how much is the total cost of materials and labor." Li Weidong said.

Because the silk in the silk shop is recorded, this time Chen Xueru did not mention that it was free, and charged the silk money and manual fees according to the cost price.

Li Weidong didn't care about this, and after handing the money to Chen Xueru, he turned around and left the silk shop.

When I rode my bicycle back to the courtyard, it was almost dinner time.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yan Bugui fiddling with those flowers and plants under the eaves.

Hearing the footsteps and raising his head, and seeing Li Weidong coming over, Yan Bugui hurriedly put down the flower pot in his hand and rushed up quickly.

"Weidong, Weidong, you can wait a minute."

Hearing this, Li Weidong stopped and looked at Yan Bugui in surprise: "Old Yan, what's the matter?" ”

Yan Bugui rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Weidong, I heard that you went to Shuangshui Village this time and brought back a little girl from there. ”

"That's the case, what's the matter?" Li Weidong subconsciously frowned, Yan Bugui, an old man, has been getting more and more outrageous recently, and he is not happy every time.

Yan Bugui also felt Li Weidong's dissatisfaction, but for the sake of Yan Jiecheng's future, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Weidong, my family has no object yet, or you can introduce that orchid girl to my family." ”

"What do you want to do?" Although Li Weidong had expected it in his heart, he was still taken aback by Yan Bugui's whimsy.

Yan Jiecheng is twenty-six years old this year, and he has been divorced, Sun Lanhua is only eighteen or nineteen years old, no matter how you look at it, the two are not compatible.

But Yan Bugui didn't see it that way, he snapped his fingers and said: "Weidong, although my family is a little older and has been divorced, but he is from the city, although he has no formal job, he has food, if Orchid marries into our family, he will definitely not be wronged in the future." ”

"Don't be wronged. Do I follow you to eat chaff? ”

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he ignored Yan Bugui and rode his bicycle home.

As soon as I entered the house, I smelled the smell of fragrant food, and now Yu Li's body is getting heavier and heavier, and she has already asked for leave in the street office, and her biggest job every day is to cook for Li Weidong.

"Brother Wei Dong, you're back, hurry up and sit down, I'll bring the food right away."

Seeing that Yu Li turned around and was about to go to the kitchen, Li Weidong stopped her with a smile: "Look what I bought for you." ”

As he spoke, he took the mattress out of his bag.

"Tigerskin?!" Seeing the leather mattress, Yu Li was stunned, it was the first time she had seen a leather mattress.

Li Weidong smiled: "Now that the winter is getting colder and colder, it will definitely be warmer with this thing." ”

A hot current surged in Yu Li's heart, a man could think of her like this, what else could she complain about!

Spread the leather mattress on the bed, Yu Li sat on it gently, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned: "Brother Wei Dong, do you look like I am the king of the mountain." ”

Li Weidong: "."

Yu Li simply loved this leather mattress, and even when she was eating, she kept talking about the leather mattress.

"Brother Wei Dong, you may not know that Yu Haitang's girl likes this kind of new thing the most, if she sees it, she will definitely rob me."

At the mention of Yu Haitang, Li Weidong felt a headache, and when he was in Shuangshui Village, Yu Haitang wrote to him as if he was crazy.

I often receive four or five letters from Haitang a week.

It's just that after returning to the capital this time, Li Weidong deliberately didn't go to see Qin Jingru.

The reason is very simple, this girl is a little anxious now, and she should be calmed down.

Eat dinner.

Li Weidong lay on the leather mattress in Li's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

Li Weidong rode his bicycle and first went to the rolling mill, and after dealing with the work of the poverty alleviation workshop, he called Qin Jingru to the office.

"Director Li, you look for me."

Qin Jingru always calls Li Weidong as the owner in the poverty alleviation workshop, which is also where Li Weidong admires her.

This girl knows how to measure.

Li Weidong put down the materials and said with a smile: "Comrade Qin Jingru, is the warehouse in the backyard of our poverty alleviation workshop still empty?" ”

"Of course, the warehouse used to store the supplies delivered by the Material Section, but then we cut off the supply channel of the Material Section, so it was idle." Qin Jingru felt a little inexplicable, but still replied honestly.

Li Weidong nodded: "Since it is for storing supplies, let's marry that warehouse to the purchaser in our workshop to use." This can also be more conducive to the procurement work of the buyer comrade. ”

"Understood, I'll arrange it now. In addition, I also feel that the work of a purchaser is very tedious, and ordinary workers should not be allowed to disturb his work, so I will inform the workers and team leaders in the workshop that they cannot go to the warehouse on weekdays. ”

Qin Jingru knows the relationship between Li Weidong and Yu Fatzi, and now that Li Weidong has specifically mentioned this warehouse, it must be of important use.

This girl is getting smarter and smarter, Li Weidong nodded: "Then you will have to work." ”

Qin Jingru said boldly: "Then will you reward me?" ”

Li Weidong: "."

Qin Jingru, as a workshop assistant, replaces Li Weidong on weekdays to perform the duties of workshop director and manage the workshop.

So the warehouse was quickly arranged, and she also specially arranged two workers to help clean up the warehouse.

After everything was done, Qin Jingru asked for the key to Yu Fatzi: "Purchaser Yu, this warehouse will be under your control in the future!" ”

Yu Fatzi didn't expect Li Weidong to do things so quickly, and nodded excitedly: "Thank you, Assistant Qin." ”

After sending Qin Jingru away, Yu Fatzi immediately took Pengzi's little brothers and moved all the food in the small courtyard to the warehouse.

What made him even more excited was that the back door of the warehouse was open to the outside, so he could enter and exit the rolling mill without having to go through the rolling mill gate.

"What a place to be!" Yu Fatzi sat on the chair, watched Pengzi and them busy there, and hummed a little song.

"If you have the chance, you should have two more drinks with the Weidong brothers."

At this time, Li Weidong had already ridden his bicycle and came to Chen Ji Silk Shop.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Liao Yucheng, who was beaten by him yesterday, sitting in front of the counter.

He was wrapped in gauze on his head, with a bandage hanging from his right wrist, and his nose and face were swollen.

Liao Yucheng raised his head and saw Li Weidong, he was startled, and immediately reacted.

"Okay, you still dare to come, you wait, I'll find someone to clean you up now!"

This product learned to be smart this time, and after finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Li Weidong to make a move, so he ran away.

Of course, Liao Yucheng would not be so impulsive on weekdays.

After returning from the hospital last night, Liao Yucheng went to Chen Xueru's place for dinner as usual, who would have thought that Chen Xueru changed her previous enthusiasm, and instead of welcoming him warmly, she pushed her out.

Liao Yucheng understood that Chen Xueru must have taken a fancy to the little director, so he couldn't look down on him.

In Liao Yucheng's eyes, Chen Xueru is a fat white swan.

Seeing that he was about to eat it in his mouth, but now that he was about to fly, Liao Yucheng naturally would not accept it.

Today, Li Weidong happened to be sent to the door again, and he naturally had to find a way to clean up Li Weidong.

Of course, Liao Yucheng also has confidence.

He is the secretary of the street office and the public manager of the silk shop, while Li Weidong is just a small director. It's not easy to deal with Li Weidong.

Liao Yucheng ran all the way and came to the Zhengyangmen Street Office.

The uncle guarding the door saw Liao Yucheng and greeted: "Yucheng, what are you doing in a hurry!" ”

Liao Yucheng didn't pay attention to him and went straight into the courtyard.

The gatekeeper rolled his eyes in anger.

When Liao Yucheng first came to the street office as a temporary worker, his attitude was simply great, every time he saw him, he was the uncle long and the uncle short.

From time to time, he also sent a few packs of cigarettes to let the gatekeeper help him say good things.

Since he got into contact with Deputy Director Liu, Liao Yucheng's tail has been cocked, even if he talks to people, he doesn't look at people squarely.

The doorman looked at Liao Yucheng's back and shook his head: "This kid will have to be planted sooner or later." ”

Liao Yucheng, who was injured, appeared in the street office and instantly attracted the attention of his colleagues.

"Yucheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention it, I'm not the manager of Chen Kee's tailor shop now, I was beaten by a guest yesterday!" Liao Yucheng shouted at the top of his voice.
