I trade in both worlds

Xu Ziqing rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Have you tried all of these?" Xu Xu continued to ask, "Which one do you think is the most delicious?"

"Of course not. I only eat those few kinds of cakes regularly, but they are not birthday cakes, but afternoon tea." Xu Ziqing simply found the children's birthday cake category: "Look at these, these are all birthday cakes suitable for children."

"Even a dessert is so fancy." Xu Xu pointed at the cartoon characters on the cake and asked, "Can these be eaten?" Xu Ziqing took a look and shook his head, "No, these are decorations, toys."

"Forget it, let's not make it fancy, just keep it simple." Xu Xu chose a panda-shaped birthday cake, but was stopped just as he was about to submit the order.

"Hey~ wait a minute." Xu Ziqing shouted.

Xu Xu looked at her with confusion: "What's wrong?"

“Don’t be so anxious to submit the order. We need to write notes and choose the size. Don’t pick the smallest one because it won’t be enough to share.” Xu Ziqing took the phone and thought about the children’s first time eating cake, so he chose a 10-inch one and also noted a 5-year-old birthday candle.

Xu Xu watched her operate it: "Is it OK?"

"That's about it. Do you want to write a few words?" Xu Ziqing asked.

"What to write?" Xu Xu didn't understand why there was something to write on the cake.

"Write something like Happy Birthday to Xu Jin and Xu Zhun."

Xu Xu looked at the cake picture on the order and frowned: "No need, will this panda still look good if I write something on it?"

Yes, the whole cake is a chubby panda face, and writing on the panda face is a picture so beautiful that I can’t even imagine it.

"Okay, that's it." Xu Ziqing submitted the order directly.

Seeing the price of the cake, Xu Xu was shocked: "Such a small cake, how can it be so expensive?"

"I don't know. I also think the price of the cake is unreasonable." Xu Ziqing spread his hands and said, "But there's nothing we can do about it. It's been popular for decades. Whenever people talk about birthdays, the first thing they think of is to order a cake. No matter how expensive it is, they have to buy it."

"Can I make the cake myself?" Xu Xu suddenly asked.

"Sure." Xu Ziqing replied, "You can try it next time when you have time. This thing requires practice. There are many tutorials online. If you do it a few times, you will be able to do it well."

"That will probably take a month. The autumn harvest will start in a few days, and we may be busy for most of the month." Thinking of the autumn harvest, Xu Xu became listless. Those days were too hard to endure.

She was just a logistics staff member and she felt the work was hard, not to mention Xu Jizong and others who were busy with the autumn harvest in the fields. Farm work was really too hard.

In fact, Xu Xu has never done much farm work. When she was a child, she was the only child in the family and her parents didn't even let her do housework.

Later, she married into the Yang family. Because her father was still alive, the Yang family also made her responsible for housework. Last year, her father passed away, and the Yang family wanted her to go to the fields to harvest the summer harvest.

But she was pregnant with Xu Tiantian at the time, and the Yang family wanted to set an example for the villagers. Although she did not go to the fields, she was basically responsible for all the housework at home.

"Can't you come over for the next period of time?" Xu Ziqing asked, "What about the clothes and the children?"

"The clothes are almost done. There are only a few finishing touches left. I can show them to the customer the day after tomorrow." Xu Xu replied.

"Is it done?" Xu Ziqing asked in surprise.

Xu Xu nodded.

Xu Ziqing still found it hard to believe: "Both sets are ready?"

"Yes." Xu Xu said affirmatively.

"It's almost finished ten days ahead of schedule?" The original delivery date was September 9, but today is only August 8.

"Didn't you take a video? Didn't you watch it?" Xu Xu thought she knew

"No, the last video hasn't been edited yet. This time the design process was just recorded. Of course, I haven't watched it yet." Xu Ziqing said as a matter of course.

"Anyway, it can be done today and delivered tomorrow, but tomorrow is the twins' birthday, so let's do it the day after tomorrow. You should contact the other party as soon as possible." Xu Xu urged.

"Don't be in a hurry." Xu Ziqing stood up and pulled Xu Xu to the workshop: "Come on, let me see what the clothes look like first."

The two came to the workshop, and Xu Xu handed her the clothes folded on the workbench.

"This is so beautiful." Xu Ziqing spread out the clothes and took a look. Although it had not been ironed yet and had some wrinkles, it did not affect its appearance.

Xu Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I like these two styles too."

"Xu Xu, you are really a genius." Xu Ziqing couldn't help but admire: "This dress is ready."

"Then can we hand it over to the customer?" Xu Xu asked again. She wanted to hand it over earlier so that she wouldn't have to worry about it all the time.

In fact, Xu Ziqing didn't want to hand it in in advance, so as to avoid others thinking that their design and production were easy. She could just contact the other party one or two days in advance.

"Don't worry." Xu Ziqing said calmly: "It won't be too late to contact the other party on the 5th or 6th of next month."

"But I'm busy with the autumn harvest and won't be able to spare time for more than half a month." Xu Xu said anxiously.

"Autumn Harvest?" I almost forgot about it. "Oh, okay, I'll contact the other party now."

After she finished the call and made an appointment with the other party, Xu Xu suddenly asked, "What do you think? Should I take a month off for the kids?"

"Why?" Xu Ziqing didn't understand: "It's so close to the kindergarten, you can just pick it up on time."

"Even if it's close, I don't have time to pick you up." Xu Xu said with a frown, "Besides, I always stay at my second uncle's house during the autumn harvest. If the children are not here, they will definitely ask. How will I explain it then?"

"That's also a problem." Xu Ziqing was still a little confused: "Why don't you have time?"

"Alas, you don't understand the hardship of busy farming." Xu Xu frowned and said, "I get up at the crowing of the cock in the morning and go to the fields. I work until 9:00 p.m. before I have breakfast."

"I don't go home to eat. The food is cooked at home and sent to me to eat. After eating, I take a short rest and continue to work. I basically eat three meals a day in the fields. I am busy until the evening when I can't see clearly, and then I will finish work and go home."

"So hard?" Xu Ziqing had never experienced this before. He had no idea that the busy farming season could be so busy day and night.

They have to get up before dawn and go to the fields, work under the scorching sun after dawn, and then go back to rest after dark. It is hard to bear just thinking about such hardship, let alone those who actually participate.

"Yes, this kind of life will last for half a month to a month." Xu Xu said helplessly: "So you are much happier here. Now there are machines for farming. It would be great if we could use machines there too."

“This is something that has gone through hundreds or thousands of years of development. It is not something that happened overnight.”

"Too."
