Before Yang Liying could convince Zhao Dehai, the women's director of the brigade learned about Yang Liying's pregnancy from the hospital. He came to do her ideological work every day and asked her to go to the city hospital for an abortion, and asked her not to wait for the work team to take her for forced drainage.
.
Zhao Dehai also begged her to go to the hospital for surgery. He was afraid that Yang Liying would go to Shilian to hide the child and something would happen, and he would lose his wife, two daughters and his mother.
Yang Liying had no choice but to agree to go to the hospital to have an abortion. Before going, she ran to the women's director's house and cursed her so much that she almost threw feces into her head.
After Wu Shufen arrived, Qiaohui went to the eucalyptus forest to set up a stall every afternoon.
On Wednesday, Zhou Xiaohong and Chen Dongming set off for the provincial capital and met up with Xu Mingxuan to go to Yangcheng.
Xiangyang was busy buying materials and decorating the shop.
Lin Lan found two pieces of labor cloth, cut two backpacks, and took them to a sewing club to ask someone to make two backpacks and a large bag for clothing.
When I arrived at the sewing club, I suddenly remembered that these days, passbooks can only be deposited and withdrawn locally. The largest ones are bills with a face value of ten yuan, and ten thousand yuan is also a thick stack.
I saw zippers for sale at a sewing club, so I bought a few zippers and inch-wide elastic to take home and made two waist bags.
On Thursday, the oven in the shop in the south of the city was also built. Lin Lan asked someone to build a room with tiles and yellow bricks to surround the oven, and built a sink and operation room against the other wall. Only a one-meter strip was left in the backyard.
What a wide aisle.
For small appliance shops, counters and containers need to be built, and the decoration progress will be slower.
The clothing store was renovated quickly. The carpenter made a ceiling, installed lamps, display windows, fitting mirrors, and fitting rooms according to Lin Lan's requirements.
A small hook was nailed into the upper floor of the display cabinet every space of one piece of clothing to hang the clothing that needs to be displayed. I couldn’t find a suitable material for the floor-standing clothes rail on the lower floor, so I had to buy a tap water pipe, paint it twice, and install it on the display.
On the shelf.
Li Xiangyang looked at the clothing store of the supply and marketing cooperative next door, and then at his own, which looked particularly bright, and couldn't understand why Lin Lan had so many fantastic ideas.
Bakery shops are more beautiful than those of food companies, and the decoration and design of small appliance shops and clothing stores are more upscale than those of department stores and clothing factories.
Li Xiangyang once again felt that he had good taste and felt that his wife was different from other women.
Li Xiangyang rode to Lexing. When he saw Lin Lan busy rolling kidney bean rolls, he smiled and stepped forward: "Xiaolan, the clothing store is about to be renovated. What store name do you think of?"
Lin Lan thought about the women's clothes she had bought in the women's clothing store before, such as Hua Yemu, Coco Liden, Isha... After thinking about it for a while, she felt that they could not be integrated with this era.
She looked up at Li Xiangyang: "I can't think of it. Have you thought of a name for the store?"
Li Xiangyang smiled and nodded: "I have thought of a few, Dongxing Clothing Store, Lanyang Clothing Store, and one called Shangdu Clothing Store. Which one do you think sounds better?"
Lin Lan didn't know which store name to choose after hearing this. Wu Shufen said from the side: "Lanyang Clothing Store is very good. Your and Xiang Yang's names are both there, I think it's good."
Qiao Hui and Lin Yuezhen also nodded: "We also think Lanyang Clothing Store is good."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Okay, our clothing store is called Lanyang Clothing."
Li Xiangyang looked at Lin Lan with a smile: "I'm going to find Brother Xu to help us write a few words and find someone to make the signboard. When we get back, the shop will be decorated." After that, he walked out.
"Xiangyang," Lin Lan stopped him, "go and ask Brother Xu to help you write down the pastry shop, miscellaneous store, and department store, and make the signboards together."
Li Xiangyang turned around and looked at her: "I know the pastry shop you used is Lanxiangzhai. What are the names of the local grocery store and small household appliances?"
Lin Lan didn't expect that Li Xiangyang would remember the name she printed on the mooncake wrapper with her seal. She felt sweet in her heart and thought for a moment with a smile: "How about using Dongxing on both of them?"
"Dongxing Department Store, Dongxing Local Miscellaneous Store." Li Xiangyang read it again and nodded, "Okay, let's use Dongxing."
Seeing him talking, Lin Lan hurriedly got on the bicycle and said hurriedly: "You ride slower."
"Okay!" Li Xiangyang waved his hand and pedaled his bicycle as fast as the wind.
Lin Lan shook his head, turned around and walked back, thinking that everything is difficult at the beginning, and once the busy period is over, the shop will be open.
After Wu Shufen arrived, she saw that the two of them were so tired every day that they couldn't even touch the ground. She sighed: "Looking at how tired you two are, we can't help you."
Lin Lan took her arm and walked to the kitchen: "Mom, you have already helped me a lot by coming here."
Wu Shufen patted her hand with a smile on her face. Her daughter was sensible, capable and filial. She found a son-in-law who was better than her daughter, and he didn't dislike her taking care of the child. These days, she and the old man could wake up laughing even when they were sleeping.
Time flew by and it was Saturday. Li Xiangyang went to the police station to write a letter of introduction and bought a ticket to go to the provincial capital on Sunday. He, Lin Lan and Uncle Da took the train to Yangcheng together.
Before Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang left, the high cabinets of Dongxing Department Store had been completed and work on the counter had begun, and the Lanyang Clothing Store had begun work on door signs.
On the afternoon before leaving home, Li Xiangyang heard Liu Da ask him to bring more money, so he withdrew 20,000 yuan and gave it to Lin Lan.
Lin Lan took out all the money for goods at home and put them into his pockets. The two pockets were almost unfinished.
Early the next morning, Li Xiangyang came to Lin Lan's house. Lin Lan gave him a pocket full of money. Lin Lan also picked up a pocket, put it on his head, pulled it to his waist, and tucked it into his pants.
Lin Lan patted his waist and looked at Li Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, can you tell?"
Li Xiangyang shook his head: "Look at me."
Lin Lan looked at it and said with a smile: "You can't tell." In winter, the clothes are thick and the waist bag is tucked into the pants, but it can't be seen at all.
The two came out of the room. Lin Lan took a can of bean curd, kidney bean rolls, pumpkin cakes and pea cakes and put them in a small basket, put on his backpack and got ready to set off.
Xiaodouzi looked at Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang reluctantly, and warned: "Mom, Uncle Xiangyang, you have to come back early." After thinking about it, he said, "Be careful on the road, don't join in the fun!"
Lin Lan, whose nose was a little sore, laughed after hearing this: "Son, who taught you this?"
Xiaodouzi pointed at Wu Shufen: "Grandma said that the three hands love to go to busy places."
Li Xiangyang rubbed his head: "Okay, we have remembered it, and you also remember to wear your hat, scarf, and gloves every day when you go to school, and don't walk near the ditch. It's no joke if you fall into the water."
Xiaodouzi nodded repeatedly: "I remember."
Lin Lan also asked him to practice calligraphy at home and wait for her to check when she comes back.
Xiaodouzi agreed wholeheartedly, took Wu Shufen's hand, and walked the two of them to the entrance of the hospital. Watching the two of them walk away with their bags, she couldn't hold back her tears. She hugged Wu Shufen and cried "Wow" loudly.
