Back to 70s: To build a career, don’t be a grudge but a group favorite

A few people were partying here when they heard someone knocking on the door.

Wu Jiefang hurried over to open the door.

The big sister at the guesthouse looked at everyone with an angry face.

"You said you'd be out in a minute. It's been so long and you're still yelling. Aren't you afraid of disturbing others?"

While the eldest sister was speaking, she was looking into the house.

With so many men and women around, she was really worried that something might happen.

Young people today are not like those in previous years. They have no rules at all.

Why do you say this is fashionable? I really don't understand how being fashionable can become shameless.

Fortunately, although the people in the room were making quite a lot of noise, it could be seen that their clothes were neatly dressed, so it seemed that they had not done anything shameful.

Thinking of this, the eldest sister's face looked much better.

Humph, at least you didn’t do anything shameful.

Everyone just watched the eldest sister's expression change again and again.

Han Qiyue said: "Sister, I just told a joke and my voice was a little loud. Let's leave now."

Since they were coming in to get something, Han Qiyue could only let her elder brother take his own bag.

Seeing that Han Qiyue was a well-behaved girl, the eldest sister didn't say much. She turned around and left, returning to her post.

After the eldest sister left, several people stuck out their tongues.

"You guys should have a good rest tonight. Everyone has worked hard these days. I will take you all out for a walk tomorrow."

After Han Qiyue finished speaking, she hurried away with her two brothers.

When she reached the counter at the door, she stopped to greet her elder sister.

"Big sister, these students are from Beijing. It's their first time here. I hope you can take good care of them."

While Han Qiyue was speaking, she had already placed a bag of candy on the counter.

When the eldest sister saw the bag of candy, her originally cold face finally showed a little more smile.

"Are you all students?"

At this age, if you are from Beijing, you should be a college student.

When a few people came, carrying a lot of bags, I couldn't tell they were students.

Han Qiyue nodded immediately and took out her student ID to show her elder sister.

When the elder sister saw that he was indeed a college student, her expression became better.

"Why aren't you in class? Why are you here at this time?" The eldest sister was still a little suspicious. Why did Han Qiyue and the others, who are students, come to such a far place at this time?

"I have to practice for the next two months. My classmates said that they have never been to Northwest China, so I invited everyone to come and have a look. People outside say that our place is full of yellow sand and you have to ride a camel when you go out. I want to show them that it is not like that here."

The eldest sister accepted Han Qiyue's gift. Since Han Qiyue was polite and a beautiful college student, she instantly became much more polite to Han Qiyue.

When I heard Han Qiyue say that people outside said this place was backward, I felt a little dissatisfied.

"Why is it that we have to ride camels in the yellow sand? I want to ride a camel, but I have to have one!"

Han Qiyue said, "Sister, who said it wasn't true? I plan to take them to see various places tomorrow and then take them to eat some delicious food here."

"Girl, as for what you said, I will take good care of the guests coming from afar. Don't worry, I won't embarrass us in the Northwest."

Han Qiyue originally just wanted to take care of her classmates in case anything happened, so she deliberately said a few more words.

I never thought that my elder sister had such a heroic character. She agreed after just a few words.

"Thank you, sister. You look like a very kind person." Han Qiyue thanked politely before leaving.

The eldest sister watched Han Qiyue leave with envy in her eyes.

"He is indeed a child of destiny, a college student. Sigh, people from the Northwest are looked down upon. I wonder if this kid is looked down upon in Beijing."

After saying this, the eldest sister remembered something and picked up a few thermos bottles and gave them to Hu Yuanyuan and the others.

We must show this well and let people see that people in the Northwest are hospitable and heroic!

By the time Han Qiyue and her two brothers returned to the tailor shop, it had already become completely dark.

These days, Grandma Han and her two daughters-in-law live in the tailor shop.

The eldest and second oldest Han lived in the restaurant which had not yet been cleaned up.

Because Han Qiyue came today, Han Xiangyang and Han Siyang didn't want to go back to school and planned to stay in the hotel at night.

The whole family sat together and talked.

Although they were sitting and talking, everyone's hands were busy and everyone was doing something.

Grandma Han was sewing buttons on the clothes she had made during the day, Yang Chunzhi was helping with the edges, and Xia Xiuhe was operating the sewing machine.

Han Lao Da and Han Lao Er made two small stools with the remaining wood during the day and were now polishing them.

Instead, the three younger people just sat there doing nothing.

This place is different from their original home, and there is no way to find suitable jobs for them.

After asking Han Qiyue whether she had been living well in the past few months, Grandma Han was satisfied.

As long as her granddaughter lives a good life, the old lady doesn’t have much pursuit. She just wants the children in the family to be healthy.

It would be better if I could achieve something more in the future.

We sat together and talked, and before the blink of an eye, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Seeing that it was getting late, Grandma Han urged her son and grandchildren to go back to bed as they had to get up early to work the next day.

A few people left reluctantly.

Grandma Han locked the door and went back into the house.

"Grandma, Mom, Auntie, look, these are all brought from Huacheng."

Han Qiyue was planning to go to sleep, but then she saw the snakeskin bag she had brought with her. She took out a few exquisite brooches from the bag and showed them to a few people.

Grandma Han looked at the finely crafted brooch and said, "This thing looks really nice."

I don’t know what it is made of, but it looks so shiny that it almost dazzles my eyes.

Xia Xiuhe and Yang Chunzhi also thought it was good.

"I've noticed these days that the girls in the city are different from those in our countryside. They have money and are willing to spend it. The hairpins they wear are of this style."

"July, why did you buy so much?" Xia Xiuhe asked.

"Mom, I didn't bring this on my own. Let me tell you, we went to Flower City before we came here."

"Huacheng, I heard that it's very far away. Why did you go so far away?" Grandma Han said worriedly.

Then I remembered that Beijing is also very far away, and my granddaughter went there by herself, right?

Forget it. This kid is very capable. I guess he will travel all over the world in the future.

"We just needed some practice, so we went to take a look. It really broadened our horizons. Grandma, you don't know that the development over there is much faster than here."

Several people who were originally planning to sleep became more interested instead of sleepy because Han Qiyue talked about something they had never heard of before.

"July, tell us about it, so that we country bumpkins can listen too!" Grandma Han showed unparalleled interest.

Han Qiyue told them some of the stories, and the three of them listened with great interest.

"My goodness, if there is time, the old lady would like to go and see it."

"Oh, I thought people out there were hard to deal with, how come you can meet such a nice old lady!"

"Tell me about this couple. What kind of people are they? What happened to their daughter? Our Xiaoqi is still the treasure of our whole family."

As Han Qiyue spoke, the old lady responded.

Finally, Han Qiyue got to the point: "I brought a lot of these small accessories, and I thought of leaving some in our tailor shop. Maybe someone will like them."

It is certainly possible to just run a tailor shop, but Han Qiyue feels that it is still necessary to develop in the direction of diversification.

"Will this work?"

"Why not? Tonight, a few of us will set up a stall. Grandma, auntie, mom, you don't know how many people will rush to buy. In just a short while, each of us will earn more than a hundred yuan."

When Grandma Han heard Han Qiyue say that she had earned more than a hundred yuan after going out for a while, she thought she had heard it wrong.

"July, what did you just say?"

"Grandma, I said I made over a hundred dollars."

"Making money this way?" The little old lady's eyes began to light up with excitement.

"Of course not. These things are selling very well now. Grandma, this is what I thought. Can you take a look at them and give us your opinion?"

"I'm an old lady, not in touch with the times, what can I do? July, you've seen the world, just tell me what we should do!"

"I think that our tailor shop cannot just do the business of processing materials supplied by customers and only make a little profit from the labor fee. It's not worth it. We need to have more new ideas."

After hearing what Han Qiyue said, several people instantly became interested.

Han Qiyue's ideas will always lead everyone to a better path, and the Han family has reached a consensus on this point.

"July, please tell me in detail." Grandma Han asked hurriedly.

"This is what I was thinking, Grandma. I think our shop is quite spacious. Let's redesign it and put a glass counter here and put some brooches, hair flowers, hairpins, necklaces, etc."

"If this thing makes money, then this business can be done, but it's July, do you bring enough?"

"It's enough. If it's really not enough, I'll ask someone to send us some more."

She still has a lot in her space, enough to last for a while.

"On this wall, we hang some of the finished clothes we made ourselves. First, we provide a pattern for people who come to make clothes. Second, if someone likes them, we can sell them directly."

She also looked today and saw that there were many people wearing new clothes outside, but the styles could not compare with those in Beijing and Huacheng.

Han Qiyue felt that if she designed some fresh styles, they would definitely sell, and maybe the shop's business would get much better.

"It's summer now, so summer clothes are easy to make. We can make a few fixed sizes of clothes. If they are too fat or too thin, we can make them to order."

"I think it's okay. Your father and your eldest father have just finished their work. They can make a cabinet and a shelf for us."

Grandma Han slapped her thigh and settled the matter.

"July, you are smart. We can make some clothes and sell them. It will be much better than having them custom made."

"I'll draw a few patterns tomorrow and make a few sets of clothes according to the patterns and hang them up first. We'll test the results. If they're good, we can also buy some more leather shoes."

Han Qiyue thinks long-term. Private custom-made products are nothing in this era, but they will definitely make money in many years.

Moreover, no matter how good the clothes are, they will not look good if they are not matched well.

Yang Chunzhi was also very interested and said quickly: "If I am not busy, I can come and help make clothes."

"Auntie, you're busy enough over there. If our business is good, I think we can find two people to help."

Xia Xiuhe said, "Okay, that's right. We only have one sewing machine and one overlock machine. It won't be helpful if we have more people."

Han Qiyue smiled and said, "That's okay. I've already bought a few machines, and they should be delivered in a few days."

No one in the family doubted Han Qiyue's words that she had already bought a sewing machine.

After all, everyone knows that Han Qiyue has many connections.

"You kid, you haven't even started yet, why are you buying everything?"

Xia Xiuhe gave her a reproachful look. Why is this girl becoming more and more daring?

I bought several machines without consulting my family. If the business is not good, won’t I lose money?

Han Qiyue smiled and said nothing.

Grandma Han smiled and said, "This child must have made plans a long time ago. He is indeed a child with ideas."

"Mom, we have to go beyond the clothing business. I think we started out by making bags, and we can't give up this business."

When talking about the luggage factory, the expressions of the women in the family all looked a little sad.

They put a lot of thought into the luggage factory in the beginning, but who would have thought that in the end, it would all be sold to others. It still hurts to think about it now.

"Xiao Qi, tell me, it would have been great if we had contracted the luggage factory back then!"

"Grandma, don't worry. It's collective property. Even if we contract it, it's only for two or three years. If we make money in these two or three years, others will definitely want it. We don't have much support in the village, so we probably won't be able to keep it."

This is why Han Qiyue decided to give up.

There are only two Han families in the village, and they don't get along well. As for the eldest branch, it's good enough that they don't hinder their family, but it's definitely impossible for them to help.

Rather than laying a solid foundation and then having it taken away by others, it is better to give up from the beginning and do your own thing.

"That's not possible?" Grandma Han said doubtfully.

"Grandma, why can't I do that? Money can move people's hearts!"

"That's right. Grandma, you don't have to be too sad. In fact, the most valuable things in the luggage factory are the designs we designed."

"Those were all designed by you. Over the years, the factory has been using them for nothing, and you will let others use them in the future."

The old lady felt heartbroken when she thought about it, thinking that all her hard work in July was in vain.

But who made the Han family outsiders?

"Grandma, styles are constantly changing. Those styles won't sell well in a year or two. Don't worry, I still have a lot of styles. And, we're only making leather bags now."

"Handbag?" Grandma Han couldn't believe it when she heard the word "handbag".

Is it so easy to make a leather bag?

She had been there to see it, and the price of the handbag was very expensive.
