Chapter 386 Cheap
On the other side, Lan Xinya's clothing store on the third floor of Kyoto Huamei Mall has been open for more than two months.
This is a store of about twenty square meters. The three walls of the store are covered with clothes. There are three long rows of clothes hangers against the wall. At a glance, the clothes are hung densely.
In addition, Lan Xinya didn't even miss her position on the door!
She pulled the rope and hung a few clothes above the store door for display.
Compared with the neat environment of Yunshu clothing brand's direct-operated store, where the clothes are clearly displayed, Lan Xinya's store is too small to display, so she chose to focus on the quantity of clothes.
Customers who come to her store basically do it themselves, looking for clothes that suit them on the three rows of hangers along the wall.
Although Lan Xinya also has some discernment and knows how to match clothes to look good, when the customers saw her fat and ugly appearance, their first impression was that she didn't know how to dress up and they couldn't trust her vision.
What Lan Xinya's image creates is that customers who come to the mall subconsciously think that the clothes in her store are cheap!
Because she believes that the clothes in her store are cheap, the people who come into the store to choose styles and buy clothes are either young girls who have just started working and have little money.
Or she is a middle-aged woman who is older, has been wasted on daily necessities, is careful with money, and is very good at living. When buying clothes, she wants to keep the price as low as possible.
Any girl who has a lot of money will not enter her store——
In this way, if she wants to sell the clothes in her store, she must go through a lot of bargaining with customers.
In the end, even if the clothes were sold, the profit would be meager.
Sometimes she even sells a piece of clothing for a dollar!
Every piece of clothing in Lan Xinya's store is personally selected, purchased, packaged and shipped back to Haicheng.
The little money she earns now is not even enough for her hard work of selling goods back and forth!
After two months, although Lan Xinya sold a lot of clothes in her store, she really didn't make much money.
Excluding the store rental fee, she earns an average of more than 100 yuan a month...
Although the money is more than what she earns from working in a factory, it is still hard-earned money!
In two months, Lan Xinya, who was originally bloated and fat during the two years of living in the Meng family, seemed to have lost some weight because of her hard work.
But being so thin did not make her look good at all~
On the contrary, her original puffiness now makes her look much stronger!
In addition, she was always exposed outside, morning and night, the wind came and went, and she was in a hurry and worried about selling goods every day, which made her skin become a lot rougher.
Moreover, she is not like she used to be taken care of every day when she was in the Meng family, living a leisurely life with food to eat.
Since opening a clothing store, her rest time has been greatly reduced!
As a result, her scalp overproduced oil, so Lan Xinya suffered from oily hair and rough skin every day, and she did not look like a young girl in her early twenties.
No one doubts that she is a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties!
This kind of Lan Xinya has no image at all——
Even Lan Xinya herself didn't expect that she who used to love beauty and dress up was now so ugly from head to toe that she couldn't help but sigh.
…
Meng family, since the weather has gotten warmer, Meng Dabao's number of illnesses has also been greatly reduced.
In addition, Meng Heng and Liu Cui, mother and son, took good care of their children. In the past few months, Meng Dabao finally had no serious illness.
At most, it's just an occasional cough or a minor cold, and it'll be fine after taking some medicine in a few days.
When he was one year and three months old, Meng Dabao finally learned to walk.
Although he walked much later than other children, both Meng Heng and Liu Cui think it doesn't matter. As their son/grandson grows up, his physical fitness will gradually catch up——
Children who are one year and three months old are already called parents and grandparents in other families.
But no matter how Meng Dabao was taught by his family, he would just smile like "hehe~" and not speak.
Occasionally, vague syllables came out of his mouth, but they were not specific names.
It wasn't until Meng Dabao was one year and five months old that he belatedly called out, "Baba!"
…
Although the weather in August is not the hottest time of the year, the temperature is generally over 30 degrees Celsius.
There is a heat wave in the air, making it difficult to go out.
Meng Heng held a cattail leaf fan at home and chased after his son to fan him.
Meng Dabao, who had just learned to walk not long ago, was particularly interested in walking.
In addition, he is a boy and has a naughty and troublesome temperament in his nature, so Meng Dabao opens his eyes every day and walks around the house——
Fortunately, Meng Heng was full of energy and had much stronger physical strength than ordinary people, so he could always look after his son, and he could also have his hands free to fan him and cool him down.
Even so, Meng Heng felt that his energy was exhausted by his son every day!
It is not an easy task to take care of a child. Even a grown man feels tired, even more tired than when he was training in the army.
At this time, Meng Heng was thinking that it was a good thing that he left the army and could take care of his children at home.
Otherwise, with Lan Xinya's patience and temper, how could she take good care of her son?
Even though his mother is taking care of the children most of the time, she can't keep her eyes on him all the time. After all, she still has to cook, wash clothes, and do housework.
At this time, someone needs to keep an eye on it.
Meng Heng cannot guarantee that Lan Xinya can take good care of his son at this time.
So it would be safer and more secure for him to do it himself and take it with him.
…
In the blink of an eye, autumn is here, the heat has dissipated, and the weather is getting cooler.
On that day of national celebration in early October, Meng Heng took advantage of the cool weather and took his son out to play.
In Kyoto, whether in the center or in the suburbs, there are many scenic spots that can be seen and are worth seeing.
Considering that the main purpose is to make the children happy, Meng Heng decided to play at the zoo.
In this day and age, Kyoto's zoo is definitely the largest zoo in the country with the most species of animals!
Meng Dabao saw various animals, his eyes full of excitement and curiosity.
While Meng Dabao was watching the monkeys swinging, a sweet and soft little girl's voice sounded near him -
"Dad, the monkey paper swing is so high and boring!"
"Mom~ I want to raise a monkey paper——"
"No, little Qingning, monkeys cannot be kept at home." Lan Shu told her daughter in a serious tone.
Hearing the name 'Xiao Qingning', Meng Heng subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound——
The next second, Meng Heng saw Gu Jue and his wife, who were also watching monkeys in the zoo with their daughter.
