Xiaoxue looked at Lin Lan curiously: "Aunt Lin, why do you put a towel on your clothes?"
Lin Lan said with a smile: "Ironing like this will not easily burn the clothes, and prevent traces of the edges from showing on the surface of the clothes. After you screw the hangers, watch me iron them first, remember my ironing steps, and you will do it yourself later."
Ironed."
"Got it!" the sisters agreed obediently.
After the Mao suit was ironed, it became more and more crisp. Lin Lan hung the Mao suit on a hanger and hung it on the hanging rod to continue ironing.
Two groups of large and small sizes came out after ironing. Lin Lan began to iron the suits, and Xiaoxue and Xiaomei also tightened the hangers.
Lin Lan asked them to set up another ironing board, took out the iron and towel from the bamboo basket, and began to teach them how to iron clothes, telling them the name of each type of material.
Lin Lan discovered that Xiaoxue was slow and careful, while Xiaomei was fast and rough. A girl of sixteen or seventeen would be a child who would still be in school twenty or thirty years later.
I've been to school.
When Li Xiangyang and Shui Qing came over with a cart full of goods, Lin Lan had already started ironing his pants.
When ironing trousers these days, you need to align the seams and iron the fold lines. Especially for suit trousers, you must iron the seams inside and iron the fold lines so that they look straight when hung.
There were no trouser clips for sale these days, so Lin Lan had to hang the ironed trousers on hangers.
After the two of them unloaded the goods, Shui Qing rode back to the Chengdong Market.
Li Xiangyang looked at the crisp clothes on the clothes rail and gave the three of them a thumbs up: "Not bad, our clothes look better than those in the department store."
Xiaomei pointed at Lin Lan: "Aunt Lin taught us how to iron, so it looks good when hung up!"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "The Chinese tunic suits are all the same. The main reason is that the clothes in department stores are hung up without being ironed. Our clothes have been ironed and look crisper than theirs."
"Hmm! I don't think it's useful for you to buy an iron. Now it seems that ironed clothes are really different from unironed clothes."
Lin Lan looked at the hooks on the hanging rod and suddenly thought that she had forgotten to make a clothes hook for hanging clothes.
She turned to look at Li Xiangyang and gestured: "Xiangyang, go back and find some wooden sticks, and use thick wire to make some slingshot forks on them. I will use them to hang clothes."
Li Xiangyang thought for a moment and understood, "It's the fork you use to pick up clothes in the department store, right?"
"Well!" Lin Lan hung the clothes on the hanging rod and looked at the time. "It's twelve o'clock. Let's go back and have dinner first."
Xiaoxue said hurriedly: "I still have one trouser leg that I haven't ironed yet. I'll leave after ironing it."
"Don't panic, we'll wait until you get better before we leave."
Lin Lan unplugged the iron, squeezed out the water from the towel and hung it on the clothes drying pole. She also told Xiaomei and Xiaoxue to remember to unplug the iron every time they use it.
The two sisters nodded repeatedly and began to pack up.
Li Xiangyang pointed to the bicycle at the door: "Xiaomei, I'll give you the bicycle to ride back."
Xiaomei nodded happily: "Thank you, Uncle Li."
Lin Lan turned off the light, walked out of the shop with Li Xiangyang, closed the door, sat in the back seat of Li Xiangyang, holding the frame of the car with one hand, and the two of them walked back slowly.
"Xiaolan, I have to go to the slaughterhouse in the afternoon. You still have to make cakes. Please iron your clothes slowly. Don't be too tired."
"With the help of Sister Yuezhen, Qiaohui, and my mother, we made kidney bean rolls and pea cakes this morning. The three of us can iron them very quickly. I want to work overtime for a while to put on my suits, Chinese tunic suits, and
There are also those coats that are ironed, and the others are ironed while being sold.”
"Okay, I'll help you hang the goods this afternoon."
"Xiangyang, I thought about it and opened a clothing store and a department store. I was less busy taking care of the pastry shop." Lin Lan paused for a moment, "Sister Yuezhen can basically make the pastries now. I want to wait until the shop opens.
, what do you think about giving her some bonuses in addition to wages?"
Li Xiangyang thought for a moment: "Okay, these days I'm also thinking about how to arrange for Brother Zhigang, Brother Yong, and Brother Shui Qing after the black market is closed. I will also follow your method and give them dividends."
Lin Lan said slowly: "I was thinking when I came back from Yangcheng that as the economy opens up, more and more people will do business. In the future, everyone will no longer do it to fill their stomachs, but to live a better life and have more money.
A high-quality life. Without benefits, the previous friendship will gradually fade away."
Li Xiangyang nodded: "You're right. The old man said that before the tail was cut off, the butcher shop owner at home had bonuses. The clever guys in the shop would give them red envelopes every New Year and holidays. This way other shops
Even if you come and dig it, you can't dig it away."
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Issuing bonuses and red envelopes are all ways to win over subordinates and employees."
When the two returned home, Lin Yuezhen had already brought Xiaodouzi back.
Qiaohui pulled Lin Lan: "Cousin, sister Guizhi next door has been here. She said that Su Xiaoyong has not been found yet. The old lady of the Su family took rat poison and was sent to the hospital."
Lin Lan felt that what happened to the Su family was extremely deplorable. She felt that these scumbags specialized in making high profits by abducting and selling children, and built their own happiness on the huge sorrow of countless families.
If caught, they should be sentenced to death, and their family members should also be punished together, because their family members must have known about it and enjoyed the benefits from their child trafficking.
After eating, Li Xiangyang found two wooden sticks and used wire to make a fork.
Before Lin Lan went out, he told Xiaodouzi to wait for his family to pick him up after school.
Xiaodouzi nodded in agreement and thoughtfully sent the two of them to the door.
Lin Lan went to the shop. Xiaomei and Xiaoxue were already waiting at the door. The three of them hurriedly finished ironing and hanging up the clothes at five o'clock in the afternoon.
Take out the woolen sweaters and hang them straight on the clothes rail. Half the men's clothes and half the women's clothes are hung separately on the hooks and the clothes rail.
While Lin Lan and the other three were busy, there was a sound of footsteps at the door. It seemed that there was more than one person. Then someone pushed the rolling shutter upwards. Yao Xiuyun bent down and got into the shop, followed by Yang Xiaoman: "Lin
Sister, we are here to help."
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Okay! I am in need of free labor."
Yang Xiaoman looked at the clothes in the shop and marveled: "Sister Lin, your clothes are so beautiful, especially the black and white striped two-color woolen sweater. The machine-knitted sweater is so beautiful."
Yao Xiuyun mentioned a sky-blue woolen sweater: "I like this one. The pattern is so beautiful and the color is so tender and tender!"
Lin Lan picked up the cardigan they had seen and said with a smile, "If you like it, take it back and wear it. I'll give it to you."
Yao Xiuyun smiled and waved: "Not now, we will come back when you open the business."
Yang Xiaoman also nodded: "Yes, there are still some taboos. Have you chosen a date?"
