After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Lan Xin and Mrs. Lan waited at the radio station for a while, and then they saw Brother Lan with a red face and his younger brother Yingying walking towards them in a hurry.

Lan Xin looked and saw that the tips of Big Brother Lan's ears were red, and Little Brother Lan was not much worse.

When she saw her mother, Yingying Yueyue immediately let go of her uncle's hand, trotted to Lanxin, and started chattering.

"Mom, the loudspeaker just said grandma is here, where is she?" Yueyue said, turning her head to look around.

Lan Xin's mouth twitched as she looked at her foolish daughter.

Looking at Brother Lan with a red face, she cleared her throat and said.

"Grandma isn't here. Mom just asked someone to help find you."

"Oh." There was obvious disappointment on Yueyue's face. The child was nostalgic. After being out for a long time, she met only strangers and began to miss her grandma.

"Hey, brother, it's getting late. We should go back to the guesthouse." Lan Xin said to Brother Lan.

Over the years, Brother Lan has never felt so embarrassed, being accused of looking for his mother in public. If it wasn't Lan Xin who caused this, he would have beaten the guy to a pulp.

Brother Lan looked at the cloth bag of skin care products in Lan Xin's hand and asked, "Have you bought everything you need?"

He also heard Lan Xin mutter a few words, saying that she wanted to wrap the twenty boxes of things with cloth, but they were so light that even the cloth bags were not full. Would they be enough?

Lan Xin shook her head and said with a hint of distress: "I didn't find what I wanted. While it's still early, I plan to go to the nearby textile and garment factories to look for it."

Hearing Lan Xin's words, Brother Lan frowned and looked worried. "Shanghai is such a big city, can you find a place?"

Nothing else was found, but the person is lost.

I feel that this business is really not easy to do. I haven't made any money yet, but I have spent so much time and money. The things involved are so embarrassing. I don't know why Lan Xin is so stubborn to do this business?

But since so much money had been spent and it had come to this, Brother Lan did not pour cold water on Lan Xin and reached out to take the big cloth bag.

"Let's go."

Lan Xin shook her head, holding a child in each hand, and talking about her plans as she walked.

"You guys go back to the guesthouse first, I can go there by myself. The place is not close, you don't have to follow me around."

"You're a woman, what would you do if you got lost in this unfamiliar place?" Brother Lan said in a firm tone, caring for his sister in his own way.

"That's right, Lan Xin, let your elder brother go with you." Sister-in-law Lan also advised.

In the end, it was Brother Lan who took the bus with Lan Xin to the textile factory. After all, she was carrying several hundred yuan in payment for goods, and it was safer with Brother Lan. Sister Lan and Brother Lan took Yingying and Yueyue back to the guesthouse first.

The location of the textile factory was a bit remote, and Lan Xin and her friends took the bus for nearly an hour to get to the textile factory. When they got off the bus, Lan Xin's butt was sore from sitting.

Brother Lan was not to be outdone. He looked around and found a small store at the intersection of houses not far from the bus stop.

"Go there first and ask for directions."

Lan Xin had no objection, nodded, and went over together to take out the paper with the address recorded.

Fortunately, the textile and garment factories are all located nearby, so they don't have to go to other places.

Following the directions of the young man in the convenience store, Lan Xin and her friends' first stop was the textile factory that produced the most suitable fabric for making hair bands.

I don’t know if there are other colors in the textile factory.

Walking all the way to the entrance of the textile factory, Brother Lan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took a deep breath and walked towards the security post at the entrance. This was what Li Hongwei taught him on the train.

With cigarettes leading the way and since it wasn't a big deal, the security guard on duty at the security department spoke while smoking a cigarette.

"You've come to the wrong place. Our factory doesn't accept private orders. Even if we do, we won't accept orders from small companies."

"We don't want regular cloth, we just want some scraps." Lan Xin said quickly.

"Brother, please give me a favor." Brother Lan awkwardly handed over another cigarette.

The security guard took the cigarette first, glanced at Lan Xin and chuckled.

"If there are any leftovers, it won't be the turn of outsiders. There are thousands of employees in the factory, and those leftovers are not enough for us to share."

You have to know that in this era, the additional benefit for textile factory employees is that they can buy cheap fabrics at half the price, or even less. These fabrics may have some minor problems such as misplaced patterns, wrong colors, or wrong stitches. If they cannot be sold, they will be sold at a low price to their own employees.

Even if the employees themselves don't need the fabric, they can still resell it to relatives, neighbors, and friends. People would fight over that little bit of fabric, so how could they let others get away with it?

This is why the textile industry became one of the golden jobs in the 1980s.

Lan Xin: "..."

She was careless, she didn't think of this.

"What about the garment factory?" Lan Xin asked unwillingly. The cheap cloth from the textile factory was in large pieces and easy to use. Even if it couldn't be made into clothes if the color was not right, it could be made into quilt covers and bed sheets.

But the scraps left over from garment factories are generally small pieces of cloth that have been cut over and over again, and cannot be made into clothes, so there shouldn’t be so many people rushing to buy them.

"I don't know about that." The security guard shook his head.

Lan Xin and her friend planned to go to the clothing factory next door to ask immediately. If they didn't have any, then she would have to go to the mall or other places to buy the whole cloth.

Alas, starting a business is not that easy.

Lan Xin sighed, and Brother Lan beside her comforted her.

"I haven't asked yet. If we go to the garment factory and ask, we'll know the situation."

The two continued walking towards the garment factory. Before they had taken a few steps, a bicycle came towards them on the road in front of them. The road to the factory was wide enough for large trucks, so the two gave way and continued walking.

After the bicycle passed the two people, Lan Xin heard the sound of a sudden brake, and then someone called her.

"Lan...Lan Xin?"

Hmm? Why do I keep running into acquaintances whenever I go out lately?

With curiosity in her heart, Lan Xin turned around and saw a young girl. She looked at Lan Xin with surprise.

It seemed that he had no idea why she was here.

Lan Xin was also surprised to see the person coming, and Brother Lan beside her pointed at her in surprise and said.

"You, aren't you Zhou Rongxin's...girlfriend?" They just met yesterday, so Brother Lan remembered her.

Thinking of this, Brother Lan's face became stern and he looked unhappy.

When mentioning Zhou Rongxin, Liu Yunfei's face didn't look very good, and she spoke dryly.

"Don't mention him. He and I broke up a long time ago. I'm not his type."

When Liu Yunfei thought about how she had been deceived by Zhou Rongxin, she wanted to slap herself with a stick. How stupid was she to like this man who was full of lies?

"Oh." After hearing Liu Yunfei's words, Brother Lan nodded woodenly. Even though she had broken up with Zhou Rongxin, he didn't know what expression to use to face his former brother-in-law's ex.

Lan Xin was not surprised by Liu Yunfei's words. Just yesterday, Zhou Rongxin's mask had been torn off, and coupled with Zhou Rongxin's mother's fierce and unforgiving appearance, if Liu Yunfei still couldn't wake up and continued to believe his nonsense and marry him, she would deserve whatever happened in the future.

Besides, Zhou Rongxin's behavior of trying to get close to Liu Yunfei yesterday should have scared Liu Yunfei and her family. Why didn't they quickly part ways with him and keep him for the New Year?
