"It's okay." Chen Lishu smiled: "On a rare trip, I bought one because it looked suitable for my sister-in-law."
Sun Min tied it around her neck and looked in the mirror twice. She felt that the color was just right for her, and her face looked better: "Girl, you are so thoughtful."
The two talked for a while, and Sun Min suddenly said with a serious expression: "Sister, let me tell you something, so you can be mentally prepared. I found that someone is also making clothes for sale, and they look exactly like the ones you sell.
, the price is cheaper than that.”
She and the child's father had been worried about this matter for a long time. If it affected Chen Lishu's business, they would not be able to get work.
Chen Lishu didn't have much reaction when she heard her words. After all, making clothes is a craft, and she was definitely not the only one who had a way to get fabrics.
"It's okay, sister-in-law, just feel free to do it. I bought some other fabrics from the provincial capital this time to prepare some underwear to sell. After all, fabrics are not always available. This requires less material. If the business is good, we can do it for a long time.
Went down."
Although she was smiling on her face, she still couldn't help but start making calculations in her heart.
It seems that the clothing business is going to slow down.
Since she bought a house in Beijing, she doesn't have much money anymore. Fabrics are also a problem. In addition, with the college entrance examination coming up, she has no energy to do anything else.
If she cannot seize the market quickly, then the clothing styles she designs will be just wedding dresses for others.
After leaving Wang's house, Chen Lishu did not go home, but went directly to Ding's house.
"Sister Chen, are you back?" Ding Chen was reading at home, and his eyes lit up when he saw her coming in. Chen Lishu is back, so Gu Xingping must be back too.
"Are you taking a break today?" Chen Lishu asked curiously when she saw that he was at home at this time.
"Your Uncle Ding and I told him to suspend him." Sun Shuzhen came out of the back room and told Chen Lishu to sit down.
Chen Lishu was surprised when she heard that Ding Chen had been suspended from office. Her eyes fell on the book in front of him, and she figured it out after contacting him.
"Auntie, have you and uncle also heard the news that the college entrance examination is going to be resumed?"
"Lishu, have you heard about it too?" Seeing Chen Lishu nod, Sun Shuzhen said excitedly: "Your uncle and I are educating people about this, and we know about it earlier than others. We have been looking forward to it for so many years, although the document has not been officially issued yet.
, but we both think we always have to prepare in advance."
Sun Shuzhen said as she glanced at Ding Chen, feeling happy but also a little worried. She knew that Chen Lishu was no better than others. Although her education was not high, her knowledge was much higher than others. Otherwise, she would not have been studying hard. It was obvious that she was a far-sighted person.
Thinking of this, Sun Shuzhen took her hand and said: "To be honest, your uncle and I don't know if this decision we made is right or not. After all, it has been ten years. If something goes wrong in the meantime, Ding Chen will be harmed.
"
Although it is a suspension of employment, it is impossible to keep a position for you if the unit is short of people. If you go back and make arrangements again, you don't know how long it will take.
Chen Lishu knew her worries and comforted her with a smile: "Auntie, the four disaster stars that caused the country's current situation have long since fallen. The country's development is also in urgent need of talents. The resumption of the college entrance examination is definitely an inevitable trend."
It was not convenient for Chen Lishu to give the exact information, but she could use other people's words to calm Sun Shuzhen's heart.
"Auntie, I came back this time and stayed in the provincial capital for a few days. I also went to the bookstore to buy some materials. There are many people there who are secretly preparing them. And I heard that the attitude above is very firm this time, and it will be restored this year.
College entrance examination."
"This year?" Sun Shuzhen was startled: "It's already August, even if I want to take the exam, it will have to be next year, right?"
Chen Lishu stared into her eyes and shook her head seriously: "I heard that a newly returned central leader attaches great importance to this matter and focuses on education and science. If he is determined to implement it, it will definitely not take too long."
"I agree with Xiao Chen's view." The two were talking when Ding Yongfeng opened the door and came in from outside.
"Uncle Ding." Chen Lishu quickly stood up and greeted him.
"Sit down, you're welcome." Ding Yongfeng smiled and motioned for her to sit down.
"I also heard what Xiao Chen just said. The principal asked several of our graduating class teachers to come over today just for this matter."
Chen Lishu was not an outsider, and Ding Yongfeng did not hide anything. He roughly explained the contents of the meeting.
"You want to set up a study class privately?" Sun Shuzhen was startled when she heard her husband's words.
Ding Yongfeng nodded: "I just have this idea. The principal wants to organize private training for students with outstanding grades in the graduating class. As you know, these students have wasted too much time in the past few years."
An incident occurred a few years ago, which directly led to a tense relationship between teachers and students. It was only in the past two years that things became somewhat normal.
Chen Lishu was a little moved when she heard what Ding Yongfeng said about the study class, but after all, she was not a student of the school, and the matter had not yet been implemented, so it would be too rash to speak rashly.
After talking to Sun Shuzhen and Ding Yongfeng for a few more words, Chen Lishu took out the silk scarf she brought for Sun Shuzhen: "I didn't bring anything with me to Shanghai this time. I don't know what you like, aunt, so I bought you a silk scarf.
towel."
Sun Shuzhen was very surprised when she saw the silk scarf she handed over.
She and Ding Yongfeng had visited Shanghai when they first got married. The prosperous metropolis was naturally not comparable to a small county like this. After so many years, seeing things from the big city again made them feel happy and a little sentimental.
It was already late when Chen Lishu came out of Ding's house. Not long after returning home, Gu Xingye and Gu Xingmin came over to look for the two of them, and then the four of them rode back to the village together.
Li Xiulan didn't expect that the four of them would come back together. She had already cooked, so she immediately went into the kitchen to beat a few eggs and quickly scrambled a plate of eggs.
"Why don't you call home in advance if you want to come back? See if there's enough to eat. If not, I'll go pick some vegetables from my own plot."
"Mom, you don't have to be busy anymore. It's hot. My sister-in-law and I have been catching a train all day, and we have no appetite at all."
Gu Xingping stopped the person.
Chen Lishu also smiled and said, "Mom, that's enough. You can sit down and eat too."
Seeing that both of them had said this, Li Xiulan sat down and started eating.
After dinner, Chen Lishu began to distribute the gifts she brought back from this trip to everyone.
It was too hot to eat, so Chen Lishu didn't buy any food except pear candies and milk candies. In addition, she also bought a small radio for her family so that her family could relieve their boredom after work.
Because silk scarves were not practical in rural areas, Chen Lishu brought a Bragi to each of the women in her family.
"This is so pretty!" Liu Yuemin's eyes had already been glued to the brightly colored skirt when she saw it, and she couldn't wait to pick it up and start drawing on it.
