"You can't say that. Look at the daughter of Uncle Wang's family next door. She took the initiative to go abroad. Now she has come back and directly worked as a senior executive in a foreign company."
"That's just gold plating. I don't recognize that! Just wait until our son comes back, and you'll be annoyed."
"Now everyone is looking down on me when they call me. How can I deal with this rebellious spirit when I come back?"
When it comes to tutoring, Yu Yan is very strict, but Lao Du has always disagreed with this point, "The children are grown up, so it's better to control them less. They all have their own ideas."
"Mom and Dad, please don't think about this for now. Dad just retired today. How about we toast together and celebrate with tea instead of wine?"
"That's right! This is a big deal!" Lao Du looked at his daughter, who was still sensible. The father and daughter's eyes met, and Yu Yan understood, "Just bully me."
"Come on, Mom, you've worked hard today." Du Juan came up to clink glasses. What else could Yu Yan say? Let's stop here.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lao Du also took the cup and praised, "Your mother has been very busy since she came back for this meal. The biggest contributor to our family today is definitely your mother!"
The family was enjoying themselves. After tea and dinner, Du Juan stood up to clear away the dishes, but her father stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, Juan."
Lao Du took out a bank card and put it on the table, pushed it to Du Juan, then looked at Yu Yan, "Just keep this card."
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Does Jinghuafang owe rent again? Just use this money to pay the rent."
"Dad, this won't work. I will find a way to solve the rent issue."
Yu Yan picked up the card and handed it to Lao Du, "What are you doing, old man? This is your retirement card, and you have to subsidize your family. My daughter and I are here in Jinghuafang, so you can rest assured. I ordered a card for them a few days ago.
If you approve of the silk man, I will just press for the final payment."
"But that's not the first thing. If we free up a room in this courtyard, Jinghuafang can just move into the courtyard. There won't be many people anyway."
"That won't work." Yu Yan waved her hands hurriedly, "It's been like this for so many years. What's the point? The studio is in a bottleneck period now. Even if it moves to the courtyard, it will be troublesome. The craftsmen who cooperate with us will still have to work with us.
What is it like to work in the courtyard? Work must be separated from life, so don’t worry about it."
Knowing that he couldn't defeat the mother and daughter, Lao Du had no choice but to put the card away, "Oh! Everyone is so stubborn. When the time comes when you need money really urgently, feel free to tell me!"
"When the time comes, I'll probably use it directly and why should I say hello to you!"
Du Juan smiled happily, and Lao Du was completely in emo. After a brief laugh, the mother and daughter's emotions fell into an endless loop. Although Jinghuafang has not gone out of business, it is not far away now. Yuyan can see clearly, "Now
There are fewer and fewer craftsmen working with us, and many of them have turned to full-time jobs. If we want to operate Jinghuafang on a regular basis, there are currently two ways to go. One is to form a team and expand the scale; the other is to find another one.
Looking for old connections and connections, we will directly do the first-hand work. Now we always make wedding dresses with others, which is not helpful to our Jinghuafang at all. But at present, it seems that it is impossible to form a team, or is it
Reorganize and sort out previous relationships and ask questions.”
"Your master can do it." Lao Du took a sip of tea and spit out a mouthful of tea residue, "Master Zhao can do it, he must have a way."
Yuyan didn't want to owe the master any favors, "No, it's up to the master to lead us to practice. Twenty years ago, the master helped us to practice, but the road to practice is very long, and the master is now old and in poor health, so he can't
Excuse me, old man, the only advantage now is that we have not forgotten our craft, and this is the most important thing."
"Bang Dang" Yu Yan opened the door, and the day passed like this again. Du Juan's door was not closed yet, and Yu Yan shouted, "Juan, don't forget to close the door when you go to bed, so you don't catch a cold."
"Got it, Mom!"
Yuyan knew that her daughter must also be worried about the matter in Jinghuafang, so she sighed softly and entered the house. At this glance, her wife's face was also full of sadness, as if she had something on her mind. As soon as Yuyan came in, Lao Du smiled.
, as if nothing happened.
"I've been living this for most of my life, and I'm still secretive! You're retired, what are you thinking about?"
Lao Du said, "What's more, now that I'm retired, I can't stay at home all day. Now that I'm suddenly free, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."
"It's so simple. Just stay at home and help me with the housework. That's all."
"That won't work. I can't do housework either."
"That's true. I have been running this house all these years. You are all busy. Well, I can't count on you anymore. You can do whatever you want." Yu Yan said.
Lao Du then plucked up the courage and said, "You think, after I retire, how about starting a business with a few old partners?"
Yu Yan also became energetic, "This is okay!"
"Ah?" Lao Du was surprised. He originally thought that his wife disagreed, but unexpectedly Yuyan made her attitude clear so quickly.
"Are you afraid that I won't agree?" Yu Yan sat down and said, "When you were in the hospital, you were not the kind of person who could sit still. Now that you are retired, if you want to say that you can sit still at home, I still can't.
If you don’t believe me, you can start a business, but don’t do it like you were in the hospital before. You only got home in the middle of the night, and you said that your old friend...retired together this time? "
"Yes, it's them." Lao Du said, "Hey! Don't worry, you have free time to start a business. You can go home when you want."
Yuyan didn't really believe Lao Du, "I said it sounded nice, but when the time comes I'll be busy with a few brothers and I'll probably forget it again. So what are you going to do to start a business?"
Lao Du has some ideas in his heart, but they are not mature yet. He cannot tell his family, so he has to hide them, "We are currently discussing them, and the direction has not been decided yet."
"It seems like it was planned for a long time."
"What kind of premeditation? It sounds like we are going to do something bad." This old couple loves to tease each other, and they can't come up with an argument after teasing, but this is the joy of life. Lao Du is worried about his daughter, "My daughter
She seems to be in a bad mood recently. She must be worried about things in the studio. You should give her some advice."
"Okay, I passed by the house just now, and she was busy. I'll think about it nearby." Yuyan is also worried about how Jinghuafang will go on in the future. I'm afraid it will be even harder to sleep tonight.
Master Zhao Xi looked out the window of the ward, his eyes dull and dazed. Jin Xiufen walked in with a pot of water and gently placed it on the bedside table, "Master, it's time for us to rest."
Zhao Xi came back to her senses and said, "Xiufen, come and sit down. Master has something to tell you."
Xiufen sat down and Zhao Xi was about to get up. Xiufen helped him shake up the hospital bed. Zhao Xi found a comfortable position and said, "Xiufen, twenty years have passed, and you still can't let go of these grudges? Yuyan was there during the day.
Every now and then, I see that she is giving in to you, but you choke on others from time to time and have nothing to say."
"Hey, master, don't worry about this. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health." Jin Xiufen didn't want to answer this question. She originally wanted to put it off, but the master didn't think so.
"The master is also old and has some ideas of his own. Since the silk flower factory closed down, it has been difficult to pass on the silk craftsmanship, and it is still a shortcoming. In fact, the Jinghuafang of Yu Yan and Du Juan is not optimistic, and has been giving
Others make wedding dresses. We also have some well-established silk workshops here, but their commercial value is too high and they cannot be passed down. You and Yuyan are both my apprentices. I think if you join Jinghuafang, you will
Wouldn't it be better? After all, Yuyan is your senior sister."
