Mother Cao did not understand. Some people were willing to spend this money to buy clothes. In her opinion, as long as it was warm, what was there to look at?
So when the salesperson came over, she revealed a sweet smile and asked, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
Mother Cao quickly waved her hand, "No, we are just taking a casual look."
The sales staff here were all wearing very beautiful clothes.
The sales clerk looked at the three well-dressed mother and daughter walking over before coming over to ask. She didn't expect that the moment she opened her mouth to speak with a thick foreign accent and added with these words, she would lose her composure. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, scold the little red guy, and then left.
Mother Cao did not understand, but Cao Xiaoxia did not notice and the matter was resolved accordingly.
After a round of observation, Cao Xiaolian benefited greatly.
It had to be said that she didn't know much about fabrics. Before, she just felt that it was better to make it into the market, but because the material was limited, she decided not to look particularly good. Furthermore, the down jacket was very sturdy, and could not be worn for ten years even if it was bought. In the long run, sales definitely wouldn't be good.
If you want the benefits to continue to improve, you need to develop something else.
Unfortunately, she wasn't this major, so she didn't know much about this stuff. She could only make up her mind that after returning home, she wouldn't be able to find Yanzhou University and use the time in the evening to study it.
The mother and daughter pair enjoyed their time in Shanghai. Unknowingly, more than ten days had passed.
On the last day, Cao Xiaolian remembered that she had not visited He Qing. After all, he had helped her a lot. He let Morning Glory accompany his mother and bought some things to go see He Qing.
He found the place without a hitch and registered at the entrance. The guard called He Qing's home. After a while, He Qing came out with a big belly.
"Xiao Lian!"
He Qing's hair had been shortened to become a baby's head, making her look even smaller.
Cao Xiaolian was shocked to see her stomach rise up as well, as if she had been struck by a giant ball.
"Sister He Qing, slow down." Cao Xiaolian rushed forward to support her. "Dong Tianleng, I'll be going in myself if you say so."
"Since you're a rare guest, of course I'll come down and pick you up." He Qing blinked mischievously, "Hurry up and come back with me. You don't know, but I miss you so much."
The two of them slowly went upstairs. As soon as they entered, Cao Xiaolan put her things on the table and helped He Qing clean up the messy floor.
"Don't laugh at me." He Qing was also an open-minded person. Since it was really inconvenient for her to do her own work, she let Cao Xiaoling say, "Didn't I buy some clothes for me? I wanted to make some clothes for my child, but I was really stupid. I used up a lot of fabric, so I couldn't do that."
No wonder, the ground was littered with scattered rags.
"Actually, the clothes outside are quite nice right now." Cao Xiaolian advised, "You can just go and buy them. Why are you having so much trouble?"
"I don't like the materials outside." He Qing sighed, "You don't know. A few days ago when I went to visit, I saw something that caught my eye, right? It was all very expensive, but the ones on the market were all too ugly, it made me so angry that I decided to make it myself. I didn't expect my hands to be that dexterous."
Cao Xiaoliu was already done packing and was digging around for her belongings. "You are too particular. Actually, as long as the child's clothes are made of pure cotton, you can buy something nice when he grows up."
Saying that, he took out the big fellow at the bottom, "Sister He Qing, I reckon that you won't be able to zip up your stomach with this on. You'll have to wear it after you're done."
The belly of the down jacket couldn't be designed to be especially fat, since it was a classic design for He Qing anyway, so there was no need to be afraid of it going out of style.
"Let me see!"
After receiving it, He Qing put it on. "Aiya, it's so warm. I'll wear this when I go to the maternity exam in the future. Shanghai is too cold, so I'm not afraid of wearing this."
"If it's even colder, you can put this on." Cao Xiaolian took another long piece, "This one goes up to the knees. It can cover the legs. When the weather isn't too cold, wear it. It's especially cold. Change for this one."
"Aiya, and you even brought me two. How can I not be embarrassed?"
"Sister He Qing, don't be so courteous with me. If it wasn't for your father, I wouldn't be able to make this shirt."
Cao Xiaolian thanked He Qing sincerely. If she had not helped them, the road to the factory would not have been so smooth.
"Sure, then I won't be courteous with you, so I'll accept it." He Qing smiled and said, "In the future, you can use it. Just say something. My family doesn't have any sisters. Since you are my only child, I will treat you as my own sister."
"I've long considered you to be my big sister." Cao Xiaolian joked while helping He Qing clean up both the inside and outside. The two of them sat there and chatted until it was dark before they got up and left.
He Qing wanted to stay. Cao Xiaolan said, "I've been out for a long time this time. Tomorrow morning's ticket will be back. Sister He Qing, I'll definitely come back after you give birth next year. I also want to see my nephew."
Although Wang Jianqiang had always said that it didn't matter, He Qing still wished that she would have a son. After all, the Wang family had been single for three generations, and now that they had an only child plan, if they gave birth to a daughter, the Wang family would be separated from the next generation.
"Sure!" He Qing smiled sweetly, "Then I'll be waiting for you. If you don't come at that time, I won't let him call you."
Not long after Cao Xiaolian had left, the sound of keys breaking came from outside the door. When Wang Jianqiang entered the room, he was stunned.
The house was clean and tidy, not at all like it had been before he left that morning.
However, his expression did not look good, "Didn't I tell you not to clean up? I'll clean up when I get back tonight. What are you going to do if you get tired with such a big stomach. "
As long as he was at home, he would quickly finish his work. Today, it was only yesterday that He Qing had caused a ruckus, so he left early in the morning. Before he left, he reminded her not to do it, not to do it. She should rest well, and wait for him to come back tonight to clean up. However, she didn't expect that he would do it in the end.
"I didn't do it." Seeing her husband's heartache, He Qing also felt happy. She smiled and said, "Xiao Lian came to see me today. She immediately tidied me up. I didn't even touch her hand."
Wang Jianqiang's memory was very good. He immediately thought of something. "The one who came to sell clothes in the fall?"
"Yeah." He Qing proudly took out the gift Cao Xiaolian gave him, "This is all given to me by Xiao Lian. Take a look."
She put it on and walked around in a circle. Wang Jianqiang was so shocked that he quickly reached out to hug her. "How is it? Does it look good?"
"Yes, you look good in anything you wear."
If others were to say such words, it would be perfunctory. However, for someone like Wang Jianqiang who was not good at flowery words, it was truly rare. He Qing said happily, "Not only is it nice to look at, it's also very warm. In the future when I go check, I won't be afraid of the cold."
"Hmm, this girl is not bad. If you like her, we'll keep in touch."
He Qing had a pure personality, Wang Jianqiang would always be careful when making friends. He had observed Cao Xiaolan's arrival in the fall, and seeing that she was a good person, he decided to make He Qing make friends with her.
"I can't do anything even if I wanted to." He Qing was like a frosted eggplant as she shriveled up. "He's at home and I'm in Shanghai. How do you know him?"
"Stupid!" Wang Jianqiang laughed. "Didn't she say that she has a sister who's also coming to Shanghai to be a soldier? Just look at her later. If she can get along with you like her sister, then let's get along. If she doesn't, then let's not, alright?"
When He Qing heard this, her eyes opened wide and she kissed her husband's face, "You're the best!"
Wang Jianqiang received the reward from his wife, which was even more enjoyable than the reward he received in the army. He stroked her round belly, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, he was once again on the platform.
It was here that Cao Xiaoxia received her mother and elder sister from 10 days ago. Ten days later, she would send them off.
Even though she knew they would meet again, Cao Xiaoxia still felt sad. She hugged her mother and started crying.
"What are you crying for?" Mother Cao's voice was choked with sobs, but she still strongly advised her daughter, "Mother came here to see you, so you can rest assured. The troop took good care of you, and now you're out of luck. Mom is not worried anymore."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Cao Xiaolian felt a little sour. She hugged her sister and tried to adjust the atmosphere jokingly. "Well, look at those eyes. They're turning into rabbits."
Cao Xiao Xia quickly wiped her tears away.
The train was about to leave when the conductor reminded her once again. Cao Xiaoxia could only reluctantly leave the train. After the train had left for a long time, Mother Cao stared blankly out of the window.
Cao Xiaolian knew that her mother was worried about her sister. She quickly changed the topic and mentioned some interesting things that happened in her factory.
From Shanghai, he bought a ticket directly to his home. Since the car could continue to drive in the city, he turned the car around once more and arrived at his home.
It was already the morning of the third day when he arrived home.
When she got out of the car, Cao Xiaoling was shocked.
Outside, there were lights and decorations, and a red and green light floated in the air. What was this?
Cao Xiaolian was still confused. She pulled a big sister next to her and asked, "So, their city has been turned into a prefectural city, and the neighboring counties have all been taken into the city?"
The first one was in the county where Cao Xiaolian's factory was located.
After receiving the news, she quickly went back. The current house was still located at Hua Mei Lane. When she pulled Mother Cao to take a look, a big demolition was already written outside the house.
Mother Cao was still in a daze, "Xiao Lian, is this our home? Everything is fine, why must we tear it down? "
Cao Xiaoliu tried her best to comfort her mother, "Mom, I think we have to start the construction of the city. Don't worry, it won't be demolished anytime soon. Let's stay here and get to know the situation."
The yard was tidily tidied up. Now that there was a factory, Cao Xiaoling had already tidied up the house before she went to pick her mother up. She bought a piece of Xi Menghan, it was very warm.
After Mother Cao entered, she saw that the unassuming house was tidied up so nicely. For a moment, she was extremely happy and forgot about the disappointment of losing her old house. She happily opened the door and paid her respects, then began to clean it up.
Cao Xiaolian started to calculate how much money it would cost to start the demolition in such a big place.
Shang Yin also received the news, she thought to herself.
After settling down her mother, Cao Xiaolian went to the factory. As soon as she went in, Xiaofang told her that Shang Yin had called. Cao Xiaolian thought something was wrong, so she called back.
There was already a pager already, leaving behind what he wanted to say and his phone number. Not long later, Shang Yin called.
"Xiao Lian, our house is going to be demolished!"
Shang Yin's voice was filled with excitement, Cao Xiaolian could imagine how excited she was.
