Chapter 317: A man
This design sketch wasn’t her original creation.
Her strength wasn’t in clothes, but it was based on the new styles of new clothes in the south and the Hai City. These were relatively new.
The most important thing was that although it was fresh, it will not exceed the bottom line aesthetic of this era.
According to Lin Qing He’s own aesthetics, it was definitely not sufficient. She wanted to design strapless ones, but would this era wear them?
Even with the reform, it will still be criticized to death.
This clothes maker was called old Madam Xu. After examining the drawings, she said: “These clothes are wonderful. It must look good once it’s complete.” Then she promised: “No problem. You can get it in three days.”
Lin Qing He handed it to her.
She left the clothes-making to old Madam Xu. If it was done well this time, there will be many more behind and also meaning she will let old Madam Xu do it all.
The elderly woman was happy to earn a little money to help out her family.
Lin Qing He came over to here clothing store.
Zhou Er Ni, Hu Zi, and Xu Sheng Mei were all swift. Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai also came to help out. They were almost done cleaning. It was nice and clean.
Then prepared some flowers in flowerpots. They basically have to decorate the shop.
“Mom, it’s just a shop. Do you still need to do this? Isn’t this too appreciating finer point?” Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
“What appreciating finer point? We’re not open yet. Since we’re idle, we got to find something to do to cure it.” Lin Qing He answered without a care.
It was 1981. Her appreciation for finer things had begun to show up. Unlike before, where she didn’t dare to touch the edge.
“Would you like to get a fish tank?” Zhou Gui Lai asked with anticipating eyes.
“Forget the fish tank.” Lin Qing He mentally vowed, wait until later and she’ll arrange a fish tank for home.
“Then cut out some more window paper?” Zhou Er Ni suggested.
“The window paper is needed. Third, don’t you have colored pens? Go back and grab them to use. Draw some rabbits, giraffes, pandas, etc., and stick them to the wall with glue.” Lin Qing He ordered.
Her shop wasn’t selling men’s clothing, only sells women’s clothing. Naturally, she wants to dress up the shop better. Can’t be helped, who made women all visual creatures?
With Lin Qing He’s instruction, they began to work.
In the afternoon, Lin Qing He gave them the rest of the day off. She got Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai to take their cousins around. After all, classes will start tomorrow.
As for the eldest, Zhou Kai. After his father came back and took over the dumpling shop, he went to look for his classmate. The one named Weng Guo Liang and went to play basketball. He had lunch with him outside and didn’t come back.
Lin Qing He didn’t stop him either. After all, this summer vacation, this kid was going to enter the military academy. It will be difficult for him to have such leisure time in the future.
So she didn’t stop him this semester. He was seventeen. A big kid.
He was more than 1.8 meters tall. About two or three centimeters taller than his father.
Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai took their cousins around until about five o’clock before returning.
Hu Zi’s eyes were shining. Even Zhou Er Ni and Xu Sheng Mei. They weren’t tired at all.
“Hurry up, wash your hands, and prepare to eat.” Lin Qing He said.
“It’s Fourth Uncle cooking now?” Zhou Er Ni pursed her lips and smiled.
“Yeah.” Zhou Qingbai responded and put the last dish on the table.
Old Wang also came over to eat. A large table was full of people. It was very lively.
“Old man(respectful tone), I’m going to the bathhouse later, do you want to go?” Zhou Kai turned to his god-grandfather and asked.
Old Wang replied: “I’ll go.” It was very comfortable to take a bath.
“Do you want to go?” Zhou Kai asked the others.
“Go.” Zhou Xuan nodded.
“I won’t go. I went yesterday.” Hu Zi answered.
“Then you go back to watch TV with your cousins. I also want to go.” Zhou Gui said.
After eating, they went back to get their clothes and went to the bathhouse. Hu Zi went back with them. Xu Sheng Mei and Zhou Er Ni hurriedly washed the dishes and cleaned up. Then they followed them back.
They all went back to watch TV. Although Zhou Er Ni knew she to be hardworking, she wanted to watch TV since she didn’t have any chores.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai weren’t in a hurry to go back. The couple went to the movie.
This was free time for the couple. Whether it was Lin Qing He or Zhou Qing Bai, they enjoyed the moment together.
“Is it tiring to open a clothing store?” Zhou Qing Bai asked when they came out of the cinema.
Lin Qing He laughed and said, “What’s so tiring? I got the few of them to do the work. I just went to find someone to make clothes.”
Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
“It’s almost time to go back. I got work tomorrow.” Lin Qing He stated.
Although work was a little tiring, Lin Qing He felt it was very fulfilling. Not one bit was wasted at all.
It was only after nine o’clock when they got home.
Because the adults hadn’t come back, they kept on watching TV.
“Sheng Mei, it’s time to go back.” Zhou Er Ni got up and said.
“Mhmm.” Xu Sheng Mei nodded quickly.
Zhou Kai and Hu Zi sent them back to the dumpling shop and then came back.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai finished washing their faces.
When Zhou Kai came back, he said, “Dad, Mom, I went with god-grandfather to visit an old friend of his during Chinese New Year. As soon as I graduate this year, I will enter the military academy.
“God-grandpa’s arrangement is right. Just listen to him.” Lin Qing He responded.
As for Zhou Qing Bai, he said: “Continue to train tomorrow. Don’t relax.”
If he relaxes now, he will suffer in the future. When he goes to the army, people won’t accept his instant promotion when he joins just because he went to Bei University as well as the military academy’s golden aura.
Even with sufficient degree, his power value must also catch up.
Zhou Kai agreed.
“It’s hard work for our eldest.” Lin Qing He didn’t say anything in front of him, but when they went back to their room, she whispered to Zhou Qing Bai as she laid on the bed.
After all, eldest was only seventeen years old. He was encouraged by her earlier in order to catch up with the first college entrance examination. Even now, he didn’t have it easy.
Zhou Qing Bai didn’t feel that his eldest son had it hard. It was much easier than his time back then.
And the conditions were much better. As long as he was willing to work hard, his future achievements won’t do badly.
“He’s a man. You should let him experience it.” Zhou Qing Bai knew that his wife dotes her son, so he comforted.
Lin Qing He didn’t say anything.
When it comes to children’s education, even if they weren’t willing to let go, they must let go.
When school started on the second day, she devoted her focus to the new semester.
Zhou Kai Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai’s schools also started at the same time.
Lin Qing He handed the clothing store over to Zhou Er Ni to handle. She believed she can learn to manage it.
