There was no phone installed at home yet, so Chen Lishu left the phone number at the alley entrance to Manager Fu.
After coming out of the National Cotton Factory, Chen Lishu looked at the time and found that it was already past one o'clock, and she suddenly became anxious.
She left after eight o'clock, and the children would definitely be starving if she rushed back.
Sure enough, when she rushed home, she heard the breathless cries of the two little ancestors as soon as she opened the door.
"Even though we are back, these two children are so bad-tempered. Xiaoyue and I made milk powder but didn't even drink a sip." Li Xiulan and Zhao Qiuyue each held a child, and they were already sweating profusely when they saw it.
When she came back, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Here, mother is here." Chen Lishu took off her coat first, then washed her hands, and then came over to take the child into her arms.
She was so hungry that as soon as she brought Xiaobai over, she eagerly opened her mouth and leaned into Chen Lishu's arms.
After finally feeding one of them, he changed direction and took Xiao Chengzi over.
Perhaps they were tired from crying, so the two children fell asleep not long after eating.
Chen Lishu and Zhao Qiuyue had just sent their children back upstairs to settle down when a visitor suddenly came downstairs.
"Aunt Sun?"
Seeing Sun Yongmei coming over, Chen Lishu greeted with a smile: "Please sit down quickly."
"Are the two children upstairs?" She and Chen Guoping had visited Chen Lishu before her confinement. The two children looked very cute, so they kept thinking about them.
Chen Lishu smiled and nodded: "I came back a little late. These two little bastards were like a duet. They cried so much that my head was pounding. I finally fell asleep and could finally be quiet for a while."
"You are so lucky. You came up with a good word right away. The two troubled ones in our family don't even know where their wives are now."
"As for men, career should be the most important thing. Besides, there are many people getting married in their 20s and 20s. If you have a good meal, you don't have to worry about being late. The same goes for a good marriage."
Sun Yongmei smiled: "Uncle Chen said the same thing. You don't know that I am so jealous when I see those two little guys in your family. I have never seen such a rare child."
The two chatted for a while, and Sun Yongmei suddenly asked: "I heard from Lin Ying that you have a master who is very good at craftsmanship. Can you make wedding dresses?"
Lin Ying is Han Shengquan's lover, and they have a good relationship in private.
"Do you have any specific requirements?"
"My maternal nephew, the woman is more particular about it. After asking a few questions, I was not satisfied. I really don't know what the specific requirements are. I suddenly asked you to come here, so I thought about asking you."
Chen Lishu suggested: "How about we make an appointment one day when you have time to take the two of us there to have a look. Do you think this can help us communicate better?"
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to them and tell you the specific time."
Not long after Sun Yongmei left, the phone booth at the street corner called, saying there was an incoming call.
Not long after Chen Lishu left, the other party called again. It turned out to be Manager Fu and asked her to come over tomorrow to discuss in detail.
Not long after hanging up the phone and arriving home, Gu Xingdong also came back from get off work.
"Xingdong, I want to install a phone at home, otherwise it would be too inconvenient."
Starting this year, the government has also opened up the policy of installing telephones to ordinary people. However, the installation price is relatively expensive. A landline costs 1,000 yuan, which does not include the cost of making phone calls.
But Chen Lishu feels that it is very necessary to install one. At least if there is any emergency, she can be contacted as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll go to the post and telecommunications office tomorrow to ask about the situation."
Seeing that he agreed so happily, Chen Lishu leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. She smiled and said, "Honey, you are so kind."
Gu Xingdong was stunned for a moment, then hugged him in his arms: "Your praise is too perfunctory."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head, took a bite of her red lips, and then raised his head with lingering thoughts: "Next time, follow this standard."
Chen Lishu was stunned.
He obviously wanted to tease Gu Xingdong, but in the end he got the upper hand, and he felt a little unconvinced.
He stood up, placed one knee on Gu Xingdong's side, and at the same time reached out to clasp the back of his head and leaned forward.
It wasn't until I traced his thin lips that I straightened up slightly and exhaled softly: "Is this okay?"
Gu Xingdong looked at her silky eyes, his black eyes suddenly tightened, and his breathing became rapid.
"I just thought I heard mom calling me." Knowing that the situation was about to get out of control, Chen Lishu quickly ran away.
Looking at her fleeing back, Gu Xingdong shook his head helplessly and amusedly, turned to the two children on the crib and said, "Look, does your mother look like a little fox who is strong on the outside but is strong on the inside?"
Xiao Chengzi was sucking his fists, and when he heard him ask, he actually said "Ahhh" twice to show his dignity.
Gu Xingdong suddenly became happy and maliciously pulled out the fist he was about to put in his mouth.
After repeating this several times, Xiao Chengzi suddenly turned red and shouted "Ahhh" at Gu Xingdong in protest.
Xiaobai on the side tilted his head and watched the excitement quietly.
For dinner, Zhao Qiuyue baked pancakes, and Chen Lishu stewed yam and pork ribs soup. The family sat together, chatting from time to time, and spent a warm dinner together.
The next day, Gu Xingdong first went to the company to check on the situation, and then transferred to the post and telecommunications office.
After Chen Lishu finished the class, she went directly to the National Cotton Factory. This time, in addition to Manager Fu, there were also the secretary of the factory, which shows how seriously she took the matter she raised before.
It’s no wonder they attach so much importance to it. Two thousand cotton-padded clothes have already received an order from a major factory. This is definitely the factory’s biggest order this year.
"Manager Fu mentioned this matter to several leaders in the factory before. I wonder, Comrade Chen, how much the clothes like yours would cost if sold? What are the other ways of cooperation?"
"The one-time buyout is five hundred yuan, or I will get a yuan commission for each additional piece of clothing sold."
Manager Fu and the factory secretary looked stagnant: "It's just a piece of clothing, the price is too high, isn't it?"
Chen Lishu smiled: "You should be aware of the situation last year. Besides, whoever seizes the opportunity now will win the market. Except for my two thousand pieces, you were the first batch to sell. And you were the first to sell it before the year. I think
The benefits should not be bad.”
Last year, the factory did make a small profit after Chen Lishu. Manager Fu and the factory secretary had nothing to say for a while.
"If sales are not good..."
Chen Lishu: "So I provided two options."
There is an element of gambling in most businesses. Sometimes it is said to be luck, but in fact it also depends on personal courage. If you are timid, you can only watch others succeed.
"Then let's do it on a commission basis, one yuan a piece." Later, the secretary of the factory made a final decision.
Based on last year's situation, the factory later received two more orders, requesting custom-made cotton clothes similar to those sold in Chen Lishu's store. There were only 300 pieces in total. This year's situation is estimated to be similar. To be conservative, it is safe to sign a share.
