Chapter 334: Chapter 333: Scarf
On Thursday, Su Ling and Yin Peibai found two people to weave scarves and three to sew gloves and hats for her.
All of them are relatives and friends. Lin Wan goes to the factory to help out during the day and takes classes at night. I can only let them come to my house.
Let Mom explain the things to watch out for and bring some stuff and a few accounts.
Lin Wan is lucky to have Mom around. Otherwise she’d be really busy.
"Xiao Wan, today I saw the moms of your two classmates, oh no, one is the mother-in-law. These two people... tsk tsk."
Lin Wan frowned, thinking they might have said something unpleasant from their affluent background, "What’s up?"
"They’re older than me, but each younger-looking than the other. I don’t know how they maintain themselves," she envied them a lot.
"Mom, you’re not bad either." Lin Wan held her forehead, realizing she had thought too much.
"Even though I’ve recuperated a bit these past two years, not doing farm work, eating well and sleeping well, I still can’t compare to the city folks’ ambiance."
"Why envy others for no reason? My mom is naturally beautiful, fair skin, good figure, good facial features. You’re envying others, but maybe they’re envying you!"
Lin Wan said these words to comfort her mom, but it’s true; when mom steps out in her age group, she’s absolutely top-notch.
It’s no exaggeration what Lin Wan said, Su Ling came to class at night and said her mother-in-law envied her mom’s skin a lot. Being in her early forties, yet so smooth.
Su Ling’s mother-in-law heard that Liang Hongmei is currently single, which triggered her usual matchmaking enthusiasm.
She started thinking about whether there was someone suitable around.
Su Ling didn’t mention this to Lin Wan, because her mother-in-law loves matchmaking. Having met just once, she’s already scouting people without asking whether they’d be interested.
Of course, Lin Wan and her mom have no idea about this.
Finally, on the day before National Day, the factory wrapped things up. After striving for such a long time, it’s finally vacation.
Regarding the support from several friends behind the scenes, Lin Wan couldn’t pretend to ignore it. She thought of treating everyone to a meal sometime.
Tomorrow is Yin Peibai’s wedding. Lin Wan needed to go to the restaurant to oversee things. Su Ling is pregnant, and currently in a risky period. The wedding would be chaotic so she can’t help with Yin Peibai’s makeup. Fortunately, they had given her money beforehand to do the makeup.
Early the next morning, Lin Wan rode her bike to the shop first. Brother and Mom went to the morning market and then rode a tricycle to the outskirts to buy seasonal fruits.
Today, fruit platters are complimentary. Every time there are complimentary fruits, Liang Hongmei goes to the outskirts to buy. The fruits there are all grown by local farmers themselves, offered at cheap prices.
Today is National Day. Xiao Gu’s idea, after National Day, hotpot will resume and the night market stalls will stop.
Lin Wan thought this was pretty good. Speaking of which, Lin Wan hadn’t been here for a month.
It’s rare to see Brother Huang delivering fish and shrimp here. It reminds Lin Wan of the clams Brother Huang delivered last time.
"Brother Huang, are there a lot of clams in your fishpond?"
"Of course, little sister, do you want some?" Ever since he contracted the fishpond, apart from delivering fish and shrimp to the Lin Family daily, lots of co-ops and markets also take his products.
Now he barely manages to keep up with the daily delivery. During summer he had the village chief buy a tractor.
"Yes, starting tomorrow, Brother Huang will start delivering some, not too much, just one or two pounds a day. Let’s see the response, if customers like it, you can deliver more."
"One or two pounds for free, little sister. Don’t worry, we won’t charge for clams this month. We’ll start charging you next month, how about that?"
"Then Brother Huang wouldn’t you be at a loss?"
"What loss? Without little sister from the Lin Family, there wouldn’t be our current good life."
