Tingting had been to Fang Pingying’s shop a few tis. Each ti, she played there for a while and then Fang Pingying let her take a lot of snacks back for her family to eat.
Although Fang Pingying had once promised Luo Zhiyong not to get too close to Liu Fengsheng, this ti Juzi buying a house was a formal affair, and Fang Pingying naturally couldn’t manage that much. The dealings that should take place still needed to happen. It couldn’t be that because of Luo Zhiyong’s dislikes, she would cut off normal social interactions with friends.
So, after hanging up the phone, Fang Pingying said to Luo Honglan who was dressing the little ones, "Hong Lan, buy so extra groceries today. We’ll have a few friends over for dinner tonight. I’ll call my mom later to co and watch the kids."
Luo Honglan imdiately responded with a smile, "Alright, sister-in-law, I’ll start cooking early tonight, and you all co back early."
Fang Pingying nodded her head, went to hug the two little ones and played with them for a bit before heading to the shop with Fang Xiu.
Now, Fang Pingying’s small snack shop was fully on track and had accumulated a group of regular custors. The monthly inco was quite stable; she could make a few thousand yuan a month. Although it couldn’t compare with the profits of a supermarket, or Zeng Weiguo’s departnt store counters, it was still a source of inco.
The shop had Yu’er and Fang Xiu working there, so Fang Pingying didn’t need to invest much effort, just occasionally check the books.
Fang Pingying walked around the shop, cleared up the accounts for the past few days, saw that there were no special issues, and took so snacks from the shop to the clothing shop, planning to provide breakfast for Sister-in-law Qiulin and others.
The clothing shop opened two hours later than the snack shop. When Fang Pingying arrived there, Juzi had not yet co, just Qiu Lian had just opened the door.
Seeing Fang Pingying, Qiu Lian smiled and said, "Pingying, what brings you here so early?"
"There’s nothing much at ho, so I ca over to have a look," Fang Pingying said, handing the pastries in her hand to Qiu Lian, "These are from the shop, have them for breakfast."
Qiu Lian took the snacks, but advised Fang Pingying, "I’ve already had breakfast. I was just getting ready to open the shop. Next ti don’t bring so many pastries; you can sell these for money, letting eat them is a waste."
Fang Pingying laughed, "Sister-in-law, no worries, I made these myself. Could I really be reluctant to eat them?"
"I usually make simple stuff like stead buns and buns for breakfast," Qiu Lian mainly now had a decent salary at this clothing shop, and most places that pay this salary don’t include food and accommodation. But Fang Pingying not only found her a place to live but also often brought food for her, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.
"Then these pastries are just to change your taste. If you can’t finish, just keep them for later. They are well packaged and won’t go bad." Fang Pingying naturally didn’t mind these things, she patted Qiu Lian’s shoulder, let her put the things away, then casually asked, "How has the shop been doing recently?"
"Not bad, the pure profit of about 100 to 200 yuan a day is still there," Qiu Lian happily finished speaking, then sighed sowhat incomprehensibly, "Pingying, the people in the city are really willing to spend money on clothes, they casually buy a piece of clothing that’s enough to feed our family for several months."
"All won love beauty," Fang Pingying said with a smile.
She took the accounting book, flipped through it casually, just checked the recent inco and expenditure, then put the book back.
This shop was handed over to Juzi to manage, and they usually balanced the books once at the end of each month; other tis Fang Pingying didn’t really look at the books.
Sister-in-law Qiulin nodded, then sighed deeply again, "City won really know how to live. We rural won are good as long as we can eat and wear well, having a bit of spare cash at ho is better than anything."
The two were discussing when Juzi ca in, one hand carrying a bag and the other a paper bag. She winked at Qiu Lian and laughed, "Sister-in-law Qiulin, you’ve got to change that old-fashioned view. Nowadays, whether in the city or the countryside, we all have to know how to live. You’re only twenty-eight, always dressed like an old lady, either in black or grey. Doesn’t your husband complain?"
Qiu Lian’s face turned a bit red from Juzi’s words, she glared at Juzi and muttered, "Don’t talk nonsense, we’re old husband and wife now, not like you young couples..."
Juzi laughed heartily; after a while, as if she suddenly rembered sothing, she handed the paper bag to Fang Pingying, "By the way, I saw a very nice set of clothes in the mall while shopping last night. I bought a set for myself because it felt comfortable. Yesterday, I went and bought two more sets, and specially bought one for each of you, too. Go try them on and see if you like them."
"Buying clothes for us?" Fang Pingying while taking the bag from Juzi jokingly said, "We have such a big shop, yet you go and buy clothes elsewhere. Why not let us earn the money?"
Juzi winked at Fang Pingying, pushing them into the room, "Don’t hurry to bla . Go check them out, I’m sure you’ll like these clothes."
Fang Pingying and Qiu Lian found it strange, why was it so secretive just to look at clothes?
The two exchanged glances, took the bag into the room where Qiu Lian was staying.
When they opened the bag and took out the clothes, Qiu Lian’s face imdiately turned red.
It turned out that what Juzi gave them were won’s underwear, but these were not the kind of underwear commonly worn at that ti.
At that ti, most won wore a sort of small tank top that was just shorter and tighter than usual tank tops, but what Juzi had given them was the bras that all won would wear later on, which were just a strap connected to two palm-sized pieces of fabric.
Fang Pingying had worn such items in her previous life and naturally didn’t react much. She held the lingerie up against herself to gauge the size, planning to try it on.
Beside her, Qiu Lian stamred to Fang Pingying, "Pingying, are you really planning to wear this? Isn’t it too..."
Fang Pingying comforted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, no worries, this garnt is to be worn underneath; it’s good for won. Not many may wear it now, but in a few years, probably all won will wear this type of lingerie."
"Really?" Qiu Lian picked up the garnt in her hand and looked at it, sowhat incredulous. Could this garnt be worn? Just looking at it made her feel a bit embarrassed.
Thinking about it, if her old-fashioned husband saw it, who knew what he would criticize her for.
Fang Pingying smiled, but took the garnt and held it up against her, jokingly persuading her, "If you don’t believe it, just try it on and see. After you wear this garnt, your figure will also appear much more shapely."
