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

After arriving in the provincial capital, several people first bought tickets for the nearest train at the train station.

There were definitely no tickets for that day. I asked the ticket seller and he told me the nearest train was the next afternoon.

Several people did not waste any time and directly bought tickets for the next day.

"Let's go to your house for dinner tonight, July."

The girls were all very straightforward, so after taking their tickets, they started discussing what to eat in the evening.

Han Qiyue nodded: "Settle down first and go together."

If there was really no place to live at home, Han Qiyue would invite her classmates to live with her at home.

It seems that we still need to put buying a house on the agenda.

It’s not for entertaining relatives, but for the family to have a place to live.

My brothers will graduate from college soon, and there is a high possibility that they will settle down in the provincial capital by then.

By then, there will be a whole family, and we can't all rent a house.

Besides, my brothers are all at the age to get married, so they need a place to settle down.

Of course, Han Qiyue knew very well that as long as her brothers got formal jobs, they would have the opportunity to get a house.

However, waiting for housing allocation may take most of your life.

If conditions permit, Han Qiyue would rather spend a little more money to improve her family's living conditions.

However, Han Qiyue knew that this matter could not be rushed and needed to be considered carefully.

The girls chatted and laughed as they went to Huimin Guesthouse to stay and put their luggage.

The one on duty today is still the eldest sister. When she saw the girls, she felt they were very familiar at first. Later, she remembered that they were college students from Beijing.

"You're here again?" the eldest sister greeted warmly.

"Sister, we are here for practice in the county. Our time is up and we will leave tomorrow. We are sorry to bother you again tonight." Ma Anmei spoke to her elder sister with a smile.

This elder sister has a straightforward personality, and Ma Anmei and the others like her quite a bit.

"Why bother you? This is what I do. The time for fetching water at noon has passed, and the time for fetching water at night has not yet arrived. If you want to drink some water, I have a thermos here."

Several people hurriedly said, "Big sister, we don't need it yet, we want to go out for dinner."

"Then go ahead and don't worry. I'll get you some hot water later. When you come back, just come to the front desk to get some water."

After thanking the eldest sister enthusiastically, several people followed Han Qiyue to the Han family's small restaurant.

After walking for such a long time, when they passed by, they were surprised to find that the small restaurant was crowded with people.

A canopy was put up at the place where the small table and stools were originally placed at the door. Now it is full of guests and it is very lively.

"Business is so good?"

Han Qiyue looked at him in confusion, a little unconvinced.

A few people lifted the door curtain and walked in, and they heard a crisp voice: "Welcome!"

She was a young girl, probably in her twenties.

Han Qiyue knew that her family was going to hire someone, but she didn't know that the person would be so young.

"Dear guests, the seats are full. Please wait for a moment." The young girl came forward and greeted a few people politely.

Han Qiyue asked: "I'm looking for the store owner."

When the little girl heard Han Qiyue's words, she looked embarrassed.

"Sir, the shop owner is busy."

Han Qiyue turned to a few classmates and said, "How about we go sit in the tailor shop for a while? I think it's unlikely that we can get a meal at this time."

Several people also realized that there were many customers in the small restaurant and it was indeed difficult to cut in line.

Several people turned and left.

The girl watched several pretty young girls come in and leave, and said disdainfully: "Huh, you can tell at a glance that you have no money, yet you still come here to eat."

Her voice was loud and Han Qiyue heard it clearly.

Han Qiyue couldn't help but shake her head.

I'm afraid this young girl is not suitable for working here for a long time.

A few people walked out of the shop here and went to the tailor shop opposite.

There were not many people in the tailor shop, with only one customer, Xia Xiuhe, who was greeting him.

When he saw July, he quickly apologized to the guest with a smile.

"July, you're here? Why didn't you send a message in advance? Have you guys finished your practical work?"

Xia Xiuhe poured boiled water for a few people and asked them to drink it first. Without waiting for Han Qiyue and the others to reply, she went to greet the guests.

Hu Yuanyuan and a few others were really surprised when they saw the tailor shop which was very different from before.

I have to say that today's tailor shops look much more upscale than before.

It doesn't look like a tailor shop, but more like a clothing store.

Especially the clothes hanging on the wall, there are six sets in total, two sets of men's clothes and four sets of women's clothes, all of which look very good.

Fresh style and excellent workmanship.

Han Qiyue also saw that accessories were added to the clothes.

There are bags and brooches.

She couldn't help but smile.

It seems that her mother has good aesthetic taste.

Han Qiyue smiled and said, "Take a look at these clothes. Are they good?"

"Very good, but I like this bag more." Hu Yuanyuan said immediately.

Several people started talking to each other.

The customer must have already chosen the style of clothes, spent a short while selecting the material, and then left.

"Mom, is business bad?" Han Qiyue asked after watching her mother see off the guests.

If the tailor shop's business is not good, we will have to think of other ways.

"Business is very good, with seven or eight customers every day. If I hadn't hired three people to make clothes together, I would be too busy to handle it." Xia Xiuhe couldn't hide the smile on her face as she spoke.

A tailor shop is not a restaurant. With seven or eight customers coming every day, it is busy enough. After all, it is already a great effort for one person to make two sets of clothes a day.

Han Qiyue took a look and asked, "Mom, where are the hired people? Why can't I see them?"

"There is no room here, so I have no choice but to rent another room and use it as a storefront. When there are customers, I greet them. When there are no customers, I operate the sewing machine to make sample clothing."

Only then did Han Qiyue realize that in just a short period of time, both shops in her family had gotten on track.

In this case, there is no need to worry too much.

"Auntie, the clothes you designed are so beautiful. I want to make a skirt for you." Hu Yuanyuan was an extroverted person. She immediately stepped forward and talked to Xia Xiuhe with a smile.

Xia Xiuhe is very caring towards her daughter's classmates: "Auntie will make a set for you when she has time."

Hu Yuanyuan thought about it and said, "Why not just forget it and ask the Beijing Airlines Garment Factory to produce a batch as well, and we can just get the goods directly from the Beijing Airlines Garment Factory."

If I were to order it custom-made from Aunt Xia, there wouldn't be enough time.

"Mom, don't worry about it. Yuanyuan is just like that. She has so many clothes that the lockers at school can't hold them all."

In the past few years, because of the relationship with Beijing Airlines Garment Factory, several close classmates have taken advantage and got many bargains.

In addition, they ran some small businesses and had no shortage of money. Considering that era, they did have a lot of clothes.

"Mom, how are these accessories selling?"

"They're selling very well. They're all sold at the price you mentioned. I'm still thinking about how to get another batch."

Han Qiyue immediately said, "That's great. We plan to go to Huacheng again before school starts. I'll get some more goods for you then."

"The kid is not here for this liberation. I am worried about you girls."

"Brother and his friends are on holiday. If they are willing, we can go together."

Huacheng is indeed a mixed crowd. Han Qiyue feels that it would be better to have a few men following her.

Xia Xiuhe answered without hesitation: "Ask them in the evening. It would be nice for them to go to Huacheng together to see the world."

Since opening the shop outside, Xia Xiuhe's thoughts are different from before.

In the past, I just thought about the children being on vacation and coming back home.

Now I think that the children should go out and see the world.

After all, the children are growing up, and it will be good for their future development if they see more of the outside world.

"Okay, I'll ask tonight."

"You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go to the restaurant to eat later?" Xia Xiuhe asked.

Han Qiyue smiled and said, "Mom, the restaurant business is really good."

"That's right. If you hadn't decisively hired a few people, your father and mother would really be too busy to handle it."

Xia Xiuhe was not jealous of the good business of the eldest wife's shop. Instead, she was genuinely happy.

"I have some cookies here. Have a couple of bites first, and then we'll go over and eat together."

The guests over there left after mealtime. They eat late these days.

Han Qiyue nodded and invited the classmates to eat together.

Several girls were discussing clothing styles, talking about which styles of clothes they could try and so on.

Time passed quickly and soon it was past eight o'clock.

It was summer, and even after eight o'clock in the evening, it still looked early.

Xia Xiuhe closed the shop and took a few girls to the restaurant.

Many of the customers at the door had left, and everyone outside had left, leaving only two tables of customers in the store.

When Han Qiyue went in this time, she not only saw the young girl, but also her uncle and grandmother.

"Grandma, I'm back!"

Grandma Han was extremely happy when she saw her lovely granddaughter.

"My Xiaoqi is back? You little girl, you didn't even say you came to see grandma first!"

Seeing Han Qiyue and Xia Xiuhe coming together, Grandma Han knew that Han Qiyue had gone to the tailor shop first.

Han Qiyue held Grandma Han's arm affectionately and said, "No, I came here, but there are a lot of customers here, so I went to the tailor shop."

When Han Qiyue said this, he glanced at the girl inadvertently.

The young girl really didn't expect that Han Qiyue was actually the boss's daughter.

She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't. Instead, she put on an arrogant attitude.

Han Qiyue found it funny.

I wonder if there is something wrong with this person?

Why was she putting on such a condescending attitude towards herself?

Grandma Han didn't know about Han Qiyue's eyebrow lawsuit. She smiled and said to Ma Anmei, Hu Yuanyuan and the others, "Look at you, you are such a big girl, but you still act like a spoiled child! Oh, you guys haven't eaten yet, I will cook a few of my specialties for you."

After saying this, Grandma Han hurried back to the kitchen.

Han Qiyue asked a few classmates to sit down and went directly to the kitchen.

When I got to the kitchen, I saw that not only grandma, aunt and dad were there.

The four brothers were now wearing aprons and helping in the kitchen.

Seeing Han Qiyue, everyone was very happy.

"July is back? I just said that if you don't come back, I will go to the county to find you." Han Xiangyang was peeling onions. The handsome young man looked very natural holding an onion in his hand.

Han Qiyue said mischievously: "I can tell you're not sincere at first glance. It's been such a long time since the holiday, and I haven't seen you come to see me."

"Brother, at least I got to see you. I haven't seen you for a long time. Isn't it because the restaurant's business is too good and we can't take care of it?" Han Wuyang was washing dishes and said very dissatisfiedly: "Girl, you didn't even say you came to see us during your vacation."

"Grandma, look, my fifth brother is trying to turn the tables on me."

While a few people were chatting and laughing, Grandma Han cooked several dishes in a row.

Yang Chunzhi patted his lower back and said, "Qiyue, the recipes you gave are really great. These days, many people come here just to try something new."

Han Qiyue asked: "Auntie, have you ever thought about expanding the store?"

Yang Chunzhi shook her head: "I can't take care of it all. If I expand the scale further, won't I be exhausted to death?"

Han Qiyue laughed when she heard Yang Chunzhi say that, "Auntie, if we expand the store, we can hire a few more people."

The restaurant business is good, we must seize this good opportunity.

Although people have a curiosity mentality, in fact, more people have a nostalgic mentality.

Once you get used to a place, you will walk there unconsciously next time.

The most important thing is to keep customers in the store while there is less competition.

"How about we take over the shop next door as well?" Boss Han said, "Let's discuss this matter carefully tonight."

These days, Boss Han always felt that the store was a little small. He had thought about expanding it, but he was worried that the number of customers would decrease and he would not be able to sustain it.

But there were still quite a few people in the restaurant at the moment, making it difficult to discuss the matter, so Boss Han decided to wait until all the guests left before discussing it.

When everyone in the kitchen was having fun, the young girl walked in.

"Brother Han, the last table of guests has left!"

The voice was still crisp, but Han Qiyue always felt that it was different from when he spoke to her before.

She couldn't help but take another look at her elder brother.

Han Xiangyang nodded and didn't say much.

Yang Chunzhi said, "Xiao Wang, the guests have left, you can go home now. Just come on time tomorrow."

When I hired the person, it was agreed that he would only be provided with lunch per day and no dinner.

The girl called Xiao Wang looked at Han Xiangyang and wanted to say something, but Yang Chunzhi urged her again: "Go back quickly, it will be dark soon and it will be unsafe!"

Now, even if Miss Wang had anything else to say, she couldn't say anything and could only leave reluctantly.

Han Qiyue looked at Han Xiangyang with a smile. It seemed that this girl had a target!

When I get back, I'll have to ask the aunt what's going on with this girl.
