C74

The winter residential area was rather desolate. The greenery on both sides of the roads had the aura of hibernation during the winter, which meant that the holly trees were still wantonly emitting their greenery.

As they walked, they would occasionally see a few old grandpas or grandmas carrying baskets, wearing thick cotton clothes, wearing thick hats, and even masks. As they walked, they would size up Sister Deming, who was walking beside them, and Qi Cheng, who was a little taller than them. Inside, Sister Deming had made herself a cotton jacket and pants, and was wearing her own clothes, black pants, and a wide jacket, as well as a few pleated versions of Han Li's clothes, which were all designed by her.

When they reached home, Li Lili was still waiting for them. Seeing Qi Ju enter with his sister-in-law, Chen Xiangyu asked, "Is Ms Fang not back yet?"

Qi Xiang asked, "Why are you asking Ms Fang?" Why did he come back after taking everything with him? "

"I thought he was here for lunch too," Chen said.

Qi Xiang said, "Sister-in-law, after you finish your inspection, let's go to Lili's clothing factory and take a look. They have some clothes on hand, let's try selling them when we get back."

Lili said, "I already told my brother. After lunch, I'll drive over to take us there. In the afternoon, I'll bring my sister back." From the very beginning, Lili didn't follow suit and call her "sister-in-law" and instead called her "sister".

Sister-in-law Deming said, "How can I be embarrassed? Let's go check the clothes first."

Qi Xiang and Li Lili, Chen Xiangyu, waited in Lili's car. Li Lili said, "Chen Xiangyu, you just need to take care of yourself at home, why do you like to join in the fun?"

Qi Xiang said, "That's right, what you need now is rest. Do you know what rest means? I told you to stay at home and not go, but you did.

Chen Xiangyu chuckled and said, "I'm just curious, aren't I? I can still sit at home when I see that you guys are all running towards Lily's home?"

Li Lili said, "Someone like Liu He can sit here, but you can't."

As he was talking, his aunt and sister Deming came out of the car. Qi Yuan quickly got out and asked, "Are you sure you're alright?"

The aunt said, "It's fine, it's fine. Sister Deming is in good health, and the child is also in good health. Wait another month or so and you'll be able to see the child."

"I'll be troubling you, sister-in-law Deming," she said.

The aunt said, "I don't need to trouble you guys to say more. You guys hurry up and leave. There's still stuff that needs to be done. I can just go back to school through the small door at the back of the hospital."

After bidding farewell to her sister-in-law, Lily's brother drove the four of them to his clothing factory.

Li Lili was from Hexi County just like Qi Jing. However, her family lived in the east side of Hexi County City, only forty miles away from F City. The road was well-built and there weren't many cars on the road.

The factory was a one-story building, a large courtyard, a few rows of red brick houses, some offices, some workshops, some warehouses, and on one side of the entrance of the factory hung a sign with a black background, "Beauty Clothing Factory". In Qi Chang's view, the layout of the factory, the design of the factory gate, and the brand were all very out of date.

He read out the name of the factory and said, "Beauty Clothing Factory, Beauty Textile Factory. Are they all in the same factory?"

Li Lili said, "That's right, my dad started his textile factory. Later on, he started this factory. He wanted to let my brother exercise, but who would've thought that he would encounter something like this right after he left."

Sister Deming said, "Your father is really amazing. There is someone working in your factory in our village. He said that the boss treats people faithfully and does not delay the payment of his salary."

Li Lili said, "My dad has been working for so many years. At the beginning, he did everything and slowly developed until now. He often said that it's not easy for people to make money without their family business. If we drag it on, we'll be struck by lightning."

Qi Yuan unconsciously had a new impression of Li Lili's short and fat father. No wonder he was able to marry such a beautiful wife. "Forging iron still requires one's own strength."

Everyone went to the office and sat down. Li Lili's brother found some storeroom clothes to stock up on. They didn't look very fashionable. It seemed like the customer really didn't order these goods for the city.

After looking at the clothes for a long time, Aunt Deming said with a tailor's eye, "Your factory uses very good materials and makes very fine materials. I think many people will be able to buy these clothes if they are taken to the rural market."

Lili's brother let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's not much time for the new year, these are all thick coats. Tell me, if we were to give all of them to you, would that be okay?"

Qi Yuan heard this and said, "Brother Li, why don't you give them to us in batches? I reckon the goods will be cleared by the end of the year, so why don't you organize people to go to the market. There are so many towns in our county, and every town has a large scale market. You organize the employees of your factory to see which towns you are familiar with.

Li Lili's brother thought for a while and said, "How about we try it out? I just don't know if we can take back the capital."

Qi Xiang said, "Brother Li, why don't you go distribute the flyers first?"

"Issuing flyers? Every town? That would be expensive. "

Laughing in unison, he said, "Do you still need us to go ourselves? We can go to the bus station, there are buses that go to every town there, we can send people to the bus station, give the flyers to the people who go on board, put some on the bus, and talk to the people who sell tickets. At some point, we can send people to sell clothes in their town, so that we can get our jobs done in advance, and when the people from your factory pull clothes, we can probably set off a small incident. "

Chen Xiangyu said, "Qi Zheng, this method is pretty good."

Li Lili also said, "I guess everyone should be interested as long as they hear that it's clothing from the clothing factory's stock."

Sister Deming also said, "I think so too. If we gather some clothes from the clothing factory, I'll have to go and take a look."

Li Lili's brother said, "Then I'll plan this out properly. I also think this idea is pretty good. As for your town, I'll leave it to you guys."

"We need to know the price you set in each town, and the price you give us has to be the lowest."

"Don't worry about that," Li Lili said. "We promise we'll give you the lowest."

Chen Xiangyu said, "Lili, although it's a business deal, you can't have a higher price with Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law will have a child after the new year, and while she's making a good living, she can save it for a month. Our little nephew's milk powder money, ah, I'll count on you for diapers."

Li Lili said, "No problem. As long as my brother can survive this crisis, you are my brother's savior."

Li Lili's brother took Sister Deming back to Qi Town, and in the car there were some things his sister-in-law had given to his grandma.

In the evening, his aunt lamented to him that Deming left too early. Otherwise, Deming would have accompanied her to the hospital to look for him, and he would have needed Deming's wife to make money on his own.

He thought about his sister Deming and the jacket he had made for himself. There weren't many maternity dresses on the streets yet, so if she studied more about fashion design and designed a few more such outfits, there might be a market.

On Christmas Eve, Qi Xiang called for his roommates to come to his room and eat some dumplings. When they were eating, he saw Song Shan's listless expression. He was very curious and asked Zheng Xiaoyan quietly, "Little Yan, what happened to Song Shan?"

Zheng Xiaoyan whispered, "She's lost her love."

Qi Xiang felt strange. He also slept in the dorm every night. How could he not know that Song Shan was in love? Song Shan's skill at keeping secrets was really good.

Zheng Xiaoyan continued in a small voice, "She had a crush on Feng Wei of the dormitory from the moment she entered the school. She told him just now that she had a girlfriend, and he brought a beauty to take a walk around the dorm two days ago. The seniors said that he was his high school classmate, and they've been talking about him since high school."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Did you try to persuade her otherwise?"

Zheng Xiaoyan and Song Shan were at the same table.

Zheng Xiaoyan said with a bitter face, "Why didn't I persuade her? I've told her a lot, but she just won't listen. She won't let me tell anyone else, so I have no other choice."

Qi Yuan asked curiously, "Then how did you tell me?"

When Zheng Xiaoyan heard this, she covered her mouth and said, "Aiya, why did I tell you? "Seriously, what if Song Shan found out?"

Qi Xiang smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "It's fine, it's fine. While everyone is trying to persuade her, the exam is about to begin. If she were to be accepted, it wouldn't be worth it."

Zheng Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Liu was happily talking to Chen Xiangyu about some interesting things in the class, Liu had called her over to help roll the dumplings. Liu said in a low voice, "It's useless to call me over, it's not like I know how to roll a roll."

They saw Song Shan sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the television screen. On the screen was a sales advertisement made by a medical company. Song Shan was shouting with all her might, "Lower the price, lower the blood pressure, lower the price!" It seemed like this attack was a bit too much.

Qi Xiang whispered to Liu Xin about Song Shan, causing Liu Tong's eyes to widen. "Wow, so I wasn't the only one who liked that guy." After saying that, he shut his mouth tightly.

Zheng Xiaoyan said, "So you're all the same. You should go and persuade her. I'll leave this arduous task to you."

Liu Xin said with a bitter face, "Aiya, I only have this little secret now. Now, it has been leaked right in front of your eyes."

Seeing that both Qi Yuan and Zheng Xiaoyan were looking at him with glee, Liu Xin shouted at Song Shan, "Shan Shan, why don't you change the channel? What's so interesting about this commercial? Why don't we lose some weight? Who needs to lower their blood pressure?"

Song Shan glanced at Liu Xin, and expressionlessly turned the channel around. It was a children's channel, chattering noisily. Liu Xin walked over and said, "Ah Shan Shan, what's wrong with you? Why does it feel like I'm out of love? "

Song Shan snappily replied, "You're the one who's broken out of love."

Unexpectedly, Liu Xin heaved a long sigh and said, "Sister, two days ago, I was really out of love."

Song Shan said, "You're the only one who knows how to lie, it's not like I'm seeing who you're good with. How can you be lovelorn?"

"I have someone in my heart," Liu said. "Who knew that someone already had a girlfriend? Didn't I just fall out of love?"

"Are you talking about me?" Song Shan asked.

"No no, I really have a good impression of him. Really, I didn't expect you to have the same thoughts as me. Sister, it's hard to find toads from two legs around the world. Three legs of men are everywhere, so we have to grow this eye. Don't keep staring at this blade of grass."
