Xing Rui spread the drawings on the table and explained them to Li Huimei.
"In a rented shop, it's better to spend as little as possible where possible. Look, sister-in-law."
Xing Rui pointed to a few slats on the drawing and said.
"These slats can be directly fixed to the wall by carpenters with nails, and they must be strong.
Then we put our bottles and jars neatly on top so that customers can see them as soon as they come in and choose freely.
There are also these cabinets, where inventory is stored below. We need to make the cabinet fronts slightly sloping, and frame them with hand-high wooden frames on both sides.
The best-selling rouge and gouache are all placed here for customers to choose from."
"Do we need these slats on all four walls?"
Li Huimei often goes to Rouge Shop, and she is very familiar with the furnishings in the shop.
I have never seen someone with Xing Rui's style, but I was a little confused for a while and couldn't keep up with Xing Rui's rhythm.
"Everything is slatted and divided into two layers for the time being."
For a small town, two floors are enough.
"What about this cabinet?"
Li Huimei pointed at the drawings and asked,
"Two groups are placed on the walls on both sides, and the length should be the same as the boards above.
The bottom of the cabinet should be opened from the inside, and the double-door door should be reserved for storage."
Li Huimei nodded in understanding, and Xing Rui continued.
"Sister-in-law, look, let's make another cabinet and place it in the middle of the room.
There is no need to build a sloping cabinet on the front of this cabinet. The door still faces the inside, but two drawers are needed on the top and two opposite cabinet doors on the bottom.
There are several small partitions inside for easy storage of sundries.”
"Does the rouge and gouache need to be put on top?"
She seemed to understand Li Huimei's cabinet, and Xing Rui didn't even say where the rouge and gouache should be placed.
"Sister-in-law, this is your cashier, don't you need to put rouge and gouache?"
"checkout counter?"
Li Huimei looked at Xing Rui with a confused face.
"Oh, it's where my sister-in-law collects money, Si..."
Xing Rui looked at Li Huimei and said,
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid there will be too many people when the shop opens. With your body like this, it's natural that you won't be tired. Your uncle's sister?"
"Oh, I've talked about this with your Brother Han. I called her over as soon as the store opened. I'm really going to have a baby in the later stages of the province, and she still can't figure out how to sell these things.
I think I could have taught her a lesson before I gave birth to the child."
"It would be easier for my sister-in-law if she knew how to settle accounts."
Hearing what Xing Rui said, Li Huimei smiled,
"Sister, you are joking. How can a country girl know how to read, let alone settle accounts?"
Xing Rui also looked at Li Huimei and smiled and said,
"I haven't read books, but my sister-in-law's accounting is smarter than those who have read books. It depends on whether the person is clever or not."
"Hahaha……"
Being praised by Xing Rui, Li Huimei laughed so hard that she took out the handkerchief on her chest and said,
Wiping the corners of his mouth that were free of any dirt, he looked at Lu Qiubo with his eyelids and said,
"Sister, my sister-in-law likes to hear this. Your sister-in-law and I have never read a book, but my neighbor's child has.
When I was little, I had a close relationship with that kid and his sister. Whenever something happened, I would always go to his house and ask questions about this and that. I learned to settle accounts with him as I went back and forth.
He also praised me for being smart. If I were a boy, I would be a great person."
While talking, Xing Rui saw Li Huimei's eyes filled with moisture, as if this was a memory that made her very sad.
"He was very good at reading. Unfortunately, after a flood washed him away, no one saw him again."
Could this be another sad love story?
It's a pity that childhood sweethearts ended up like this.
"I'm just telling you, why is my sister-in-law so smart?"
"No, ever since I got married and gave birth to a child, I have almost forgotten the few words I knew.
When it comes to settling accounts, I still remember it clearly. After all, does it have anything to do with money?"
Li Huimei adjusted her mood quickly, and in an instant, the confident smile appeared on her face again.
The two chatted for a while. It was already dark, and Xing Rui stood up to say goodbye.
Thinking that Myolie Wu had been undergoing the surgery for several days, Xing Rui walked towards Matchmaker Liu's house to see how she was recovering in the past few days.
When he came to the gate, he pushed it with his hand but luckily it wasn't pushed, and Xing Rui walked in.
"Is aunt here?"
The three mothers who were talking in the room stopped hurriedly when they heard this voice.
"Mom, I heard that silly mother is here."
Hu Linger shouted.
"I should be here to see your sister. Come on, open the door. Go quickly."
Urging his daughter, the man hurriedly stretched his neck and shouted outside,
"Are you a silly girl?"
"Oh, it's me, haven't you slept yet?"
As she spoke, Hu Ling'er ran over and pushed open the door. Matchmaker Liu also took the opportunity to find an oil lamp and light it. The dark room suddenly became brighter.
"Silly girl, come in quickly, come quickly..."
Matchmaker Liu, who hastily got off the kang, stretched out her hand to pull Xing Rui to sit down before she even put on her shoes.
"Myolie, take out the melon seeds and pastries you bought today and give them to silly girl to try."
Seeing how enthusiastic Matchmaker Liu was, Xing Rui waved her hands in embarrassment.
"Auntie, don't be busy. I just came to see how Sister Xing'er's eyes are doing."
"Xing'er, please show me silly bitch, hurry up."
Myolie Wu was taking melon seeds and cakes out of the cabinet. At this moment, the mother asked her to look back, which also made her a little confused.
"Sister Xing Rui, you eat."
Myolie Wu put all the things in front of Xing Rui, standing there a little embarrassed, lowering her head and not daring to look over.
"Sister Xing'er, raise your head and let me see how your eyes and mouth are recovering?"
"Sister Xing Rui..."
Before Myolie Wu could even raise her head, Hu Ling'er behind her grabbed Xing Rui's arm and shouted loudly,
"What did you do to my sister's mouth? I want one too. You do the same for me. I also want a red and tender one."
"Shut up. If you continue to be so lazy, you will still be an ugly girl even if pearls and agate are hanging on your body."
"Ahhhh..."
Hu Ling'er also went crazy when she heard her mother-in-law insulting her like this in front of Xing Rui.
"I understand. After my sister comes back, everything is wrong with me in this family. I will die tomorrow."
Matchmaker Liu glared at Hu Ling'er hard, then took Xing Rui's hand and said,
"Don't listen to her nonsense. She won't die if anyone dies. Xing'er asked your sister Xing Rui to take a good look at you. How are you recovering?"
Myolie Wu slowly raised her head with a shy smile. Although Xing Rui was still very confident in her craftsmanship,
But looking at the face that slowly emerged, she was still stunned.
