Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

Looking at the series of numbers displayed on the bankbook, Qiao Shi felt that his eyes were a little dazzled.

"Qiao Shi, An Nian, are you okay?"

There was a knock on An Nian's door, and Qian Donglai's voice came from outside.

Qiao Shi slammed the bankbook shut and stuffed it back into An Nian's hand: "We'll talk about this later. Let's go eat first. You must be hungry after flying for so long, right?"

Actually, it was okay. They came after dinner and had snacks on the plane.

An Nian did not refuse her kindness, put away the bankbook and stood up.

When he walked out of the room, Qiao Shi turned around and closed the door, took out the key and locked it twice.

Qian Donglai looked amused: "We're just going out to have a meal. We'll be back soon. There's no need to lock the door, right?"

Qiao Shi glared: "What do you know? Nian Nian, let's go!"

An Nian smiled and said nothing, knowing that the "money" he took out just now made Qiao Shi a little nervous.

When he got down the stairs, Qiao Shi, who usually just closed the door, stopped again, took out the key and locked the iron door on the second floor.

A series of operations stunned Qian Dongjian.

When they reached the main road, Qiao Shi put away the key and took An Nian's hand.

"Nian Nian, I'll take you to eat at Yuan Ji! Their food is the best! Grandpa, you also ate it last time, right? Is Yuan Ji's food delicious?"

Qiao Yongsheng was two steps behind them and nodded gently.

"Yes, I ate it last time, and I still remember it."

An Nian also became interested: "What do you want to eat?"

"They have a wide range of business, including morning tea, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks. I think the best thing is the late-night snacks. Their henna powder tastes super good!

If you don't add chili, it will taste fresh and sweet.Adding their special chili sauce makes it salty and spicy. "

Qiao Shi talked endlessly about what to eat, and his steps became brisk.

"I suggest you eat the original flavor first, and then add the chili sauce after you have experienced the sweet and fresh taste. You can enjoy two flavors in a bowl of flower nail powder."

An Nian laughed: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The four of them turned left at the intersection ahead, and what they saw was an entire brightly lit food court.

Such a scene would never be seen in Beijing.

People are coming and going, and every corner is full of fireworks.

An Nian fell in love with this place instantly.

"Aunt Hua, we are here again!"

As soon as he stepped into the stall, Qiao Shi greeted the proprietress familiarly.

The reason why it is called a stall rather than a store is because its store is actually very small.

An Nian stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and saw an iron door only three meters wide at the innermost side of the shed.

The area where they were standing at this time was an extension of the store. The ground was a flat cement floor, and there was a green translucent awning above their heads.

Aunt Hua looked up with a smile on her face.

"Xiao Qiao, you can sit wherever you like and I'll get you a menu."

"okay!"

Qiao Shi looked around, chose a large table for six people, and led the three of them over.

"Regardless of the fact that there are only four of us, we will have a lot of food to eat later. We can't choose a small table, otherwise we won't be able to put the food on it."

Soon, Aunt Hua came over with a piece of cardboard.

"Look, what do you want to eat today?"

"Nian Nian, grandpa, please have some." Qiao Shi handed the cardboard to An Nian.

An Nian took it, and there was a lot of oil on the cardboard. It felt like it had gone through many hardships, and there was a faint aura of "a century-old store with excellent taste".

The cardboard is divided into two rows and written densely.

She ordered two dishes at random and handed them to Qiao Yongsheng.

"Niannian, bring your bowl over, I'll disinfect it with boiling water."

An Nian saw that she was holding a kettle in her hand, so she stood up and scalded all the dishes and chopsticks on the table with her.

Qiao Shi explained with a smile:

“It was only after I came here that I realized that the iron basin on their table was specially used to hold water for scalding bowls.

Don't tell me, this bowl of chopsticks has been scalded with boiling water, so we can use it more safely. "

The proprietress, Aunt Hua, neatly wrote down the dishes ordered by several people on the paper, then turned and left.

A few minutes later, plates of dishes were served.

It is said to be a dish, but it is actually more like a seafood collection. The plate is quite large and contains a lot of things, but there is very little meat in the mouth. It is very suitable for a late-night snack.

If you feel hungry at night, just put a pad on your stomach and it will be fine.

"Delicious, right?"

"It tastes pretty good." An Nian pinched a sixty-year-old and rolled his tongue around the small shell meat.

After eating, she continued to talk with a smile.

“It’s very fresh, but the meat is a bit lacking.”

After all, her man could catch an abalone in just one trip to the sea. The abalone meat was bigger than her face when dug out, and the taste was absolutely delicious.

The smile on An Nian's face did not change at all. In fact, his thoughts were already drifting away.

I wonder if I will receive Yuanyuan’s letter tomorrow morning?Will it still be a short sentence?

"What you eat is its delicious taste! Shencheng is close to the seaside. These fresh shrimps, fish and shellfish are all caught fresh in the morning, so the taste will definitely not be bad.

Niannian, look at this Eastern Star Spot again, it’s delicious! "

A piece of tender white fish meat was put into An Nian's bowl. The skin of the fish had become dull after cooking, but its previous color could still be vaguely seen.

"The first time I saw a red fish, I squatted beside the fishing net and watched it for a long time."

Qiao Shi didn't notice An Nian's distraction, and talked about embarrassing things when he first came to Shencheng.

"When I had my first meal in Shencheng, Fatty ordered this fish. Because of its bright color, I didn't dare to take off my chopsticks for a long time."

An Nian took a bite of the fish and thought it tasted pretty good, so he asked casually.

"Why did you call Fat Brother Fatty?"

Qiao Shi was stunned for a moment.

Qian Donglai, who had been responsible for entertaining Qiao Yongsheng next to him, immediately turned around and looked here, placing a drink in front of An Nian at the right time, with a smile on his chubby face.

"An Nian, drink some juice? I asked Qiao Shi to call you that. I'm not a few years older than you. I feel uncomfortable calling you my brother all the time."

"That's it..."

An Nian nodded understandingly.

Qiao Changsheng's eyes became deeper, and his eyes fell on Qian Donglai, as if he was searching.

He hadn't noticed this little detail before...

Qiao Shi nodded: "Fatty and I are now in an equal partnership. It's not good to call me brother anymore. Niannian, you are also an important shareholder of ours. Please follow me and call me brother from now on."

An Nian shook his head: "No need, I'm still used to calling him Fat Brother."

This topic was much less tempting in front of delicious food, and soon the four of them started eating salt-baked shrimp.

It was the first time for An Nian to eat fresh shrimps cooked in this way. He ate several in a row and finally added another plate after finishing the meal.

"Salt-baked shrimp, I give it [-] points, it's the best today."

An Nian gave the score without hesitation, making Qiao Shi and the others laugh.

After dinner, An Nian and Qiao Shi moved to Yushi's factory.

After all, Qiao Yongsheng was old and went to bed early, so Qian Donglai sent him back.

The location of the garment factory is very close to the building where Qiao Shi and the others rented. It can be reached by walking more than ten meters to the backyard. An Nian could easily see it from the second floor.

In the factory, the large machines have stopped, but the sewing machines are still running.

Countless sewing machines are humming in the factory building, which covers an area of ​​500 meters.

The workers were working enthusiastically.

Qiao Shi raised his hand proudly:

"Nian Nian, look, this is our garment factory! Now we have a total of 120 sewing machines. We work three shifts a day to make clothes, and we can produce [-] pieces of clothes a day.

This is because I asked them to make 20 sets of different styles at the same time, otherwise the speed could be a little faster. "

After a while, several team leaders responsible for managing the area ran over.

Qiao Shi introduced An Nian's identity to them and let them leave.

She brought An Nian to her office.

It is said to be an office, but in fact it is a separate room in the factory.

There were several mannequins placed in this room, and a lot of rags fell under the models.

"These are sample clothes. You can see if they look good or not."

Qiao Shi explained, trotted to the corner and took out three pieces of S size clothes.

"Nian Nian, do you want to try it? When I was drawing the picture, I was thinking about what you would look like. I think it will look great on you!"

"I?"

An Nian pointed to herself in confusion and looked down at the clothes she had laid out.

"Yes! Would you like to try it?"

Qiao Shi's eyes seemed to be shining, and she took out the clothes from the bag neatly.

"You are taller, 1.6 meters [-], so you should wear size M, but you have a slender figure, so I think you can also try size S.

Two sizes, different feels, can you wear them both for me to see? "

An Nian looked at the clothes in his hand, feeling a little moved and nodded.

"OK then."

She turned around and entered the fitting room specially separated by the side, and took off her gray clothes.

After a few minutes.

An Nian walked out of the fitting room.

After changing his clothes, he seemed to be a new person.

A white shirt and a brown skirt make the whole person appear knowledgeable and elegant.

The skirt is slightly A-shaped with pleats, but it is not the large skirt that is popular nowadays. It is not a pleated skirt style. The length is a little below the knees, which not only modifies the shape of the legs, but also pinches out the waist.

Qiao Shi was stunned for a while before he stepped forward.

"Nian Nian, you are so beautiful! Even more beautiful than I imagined."

An Nian looked around in the mirror and was quite satisfied.

"The shape of this shirt is very good. I like the collar design. It's not like the neck-stretching collars I've seen before."

Qiao Shi helped her adjust the collar and smooth out the wrinkles.

"I also don't like those shirts that are buttoned down to the neck. In the past, shirts were specially made for men. They had no breasts. The front of the shirt was flat, so naturally it was buttoned to the top. It looked nice and flat.

Us women are different. There is a curvature in the front. If the shirt is not adjusted, the sides will lift up, which is very ugly. "

As she spoke, she held An Nian's hand and smiled like a little fox.

An Nian looked at her sideways: "What are you doing?"

"Hey, Niannian, when our store opens, can you go over and help for a few days? Just wear the clothes in our store!

Change the set every few hours!There is no need for you to entertain guests, you can just sit and read. "

An Nian: "..."

"Please, Nian Nian! Everything is difficult at the beginning. Our store has no reputation. If we don't come up with some new tricks, how can we attract the first batch of loyal customers?"

An Nian really didn't want to be a mannequin. She came to Shenzhen to build the medical system.

As a doctor, An Nian doesn't like to be too public.

She thought for a while and came up with an idea.

"If we just want to break the situation, we might as well hold a fashion show."

"Huh?" Qiao Shi was thinking hard about how to persuade An Nian to agree, when he suddenly heard the new concept of "fashion show".

An Nian said: "When I was watching the market on Wall Street, I happened to see the financial report of a clothing company."

Being idle and bored, An Nian read a lot of books and newspapers at Cavell Securities.

She had a photographic memory and read things quickly. In the end, the beautiful receptionist with wheat-colored skin felt hollowed out. She just used her own money to provide An Nian with several books that were not available in the securities company. .

Among them, An Nian read the latest financial reports of various listed companies.

Speaking of it now, this knowledge point is still fresh.

"In their quarterly financial report, as long as it coincides with fashion week, the performance will double. I didn't know what fashion week meant at the time, so I went to look it up."

An Nian said slowly.

Josh's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened.

"Niannian, can we also go to fashion week? I think fashion week is a good communication platform!

Not only can the world see our brand, but we can also have in-depth exchanges with other international designers.

The clothing design drawings I draw now are all based on my own imagination. In the past two months, I have drawn twenty sets of clothes at once, which is actually very difficult. "

An Nian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, smiling.

"absolutely okay!"

"You believe me?"

An Nian patted her arm and nodded firmly.

"Of course! But these are things for later. Let's discuss the fashion show first."

Afraid that she couldn't explain clearly, she went to Qiao Shi's desk to get pen and paper and started drawing.

"I see that their fashion shows all have large stages, and the bottom of the stage is full of people. We don't need to make it too grand for the first time, as long as it can attract everyone's attention."

Just a few strokes.

An Nian had already drawn a simple stage with a simple figure standing on it.

“Just put up a stage like this in front of our store and invite five or six models to show off the clothes.

You can go to the fitting room in the store to change clothes, and after walking around, you can return to the store for positioning and display.

There are one session in the morning and one in the afternoon, plus positioning demonstrations, and the total duration is controlled within two hours. "

With the simple diagram and the time schedule, Qiao Shi immediately understood what An Nian meant.

"I understand, I will contact the model tomorrow."

She urged An Nian again: "There are two more sets, you can try them together."

"it is good."

An Nian did not disappoint her and entered the fitting room again.

The first set is a pink suit and trousers, cut close to the body, paired with the white shirt just now, very Hong Kong style.

Josh was so happy that he clapped his hands.

"I borrowed this design from the style in Hong Kong City, and the colors are bolder. I was originally worried that it would look dark when worn, but now that you're wearing it, I don't think it will at all."

The second set is a white long skirt. It is made of thicker fabric. The cotton outside seems to be woven with patterns of the same color. It is equipped with dark gold buttons. It shows off your figure very well when worn.

Qiao Shi blinked and went over to touch An Nian's waist.

"Niannian, your waist is so thin, you look so beautiful in a dress like this."

An Nian moved uncomfortably: "Isn't it a bit too revealing?"

She was used to wearing loose clothes, but suddenly the tight skirt was not suitable for her upper body.

"What about a coat?"

Qiao Shi paired her with a long gray windbreaker, which instantly covered her exquisite figure, but also brought out a bit of chicness.

"It looks good too!"
