Chapter 357 Sisters Meet
Lin Chuyi went through the back door this time, and the person who came to hand over the goods to Lin Chuyi was Madam Shen.
After Madam Shen opened the back door, she was immediately surprised when she saw that the leader of the delivery was Lin Chuyi, who had disappeared for nearly a year.
"Girl, you are finally back. How come you are the one delivering the clothes this time? There was no news before. If Jinxiu knew you were back, she would be very happy."
Lin Chuyi smiled and replied, "I will come back naturally after everything is done. It just so happened that the textile factory wanted to deliver goods to you, and I happened to be preparing to come back, so I took this job."
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Let's count the quantity of the goods first. If the quantity matches, the people who work on Lu Lu Tong can complete their mission earlier and report back."
"okay."
After Shen Niang responded, she began to carefully count the number of goods in the backyard. After confirming that the number was correct, she signed her name on the delivery list.
After bidding farewell to the deliveryman from Lulutong, Madam Shen turned to Lin Chuyi and said, "You go to the shop to find Jinxiu first. I'll stay here to check the details of the invoice."
Seeing that there was really nothing for her to do here, Lin Chuyi agreed and went to the front hall to find Lin Jinxiu.
At this moment, Lin Jinxiu is concentrating on completing a double-sided embroidery of pine and crane, which was personally ordered by the wife of the Qingshan County magistrate from her.
In a few days it will be the 70th birthday of the county magistrate's mother. The county magistrate's wife came to Piaomiao Pavilion specially to find Lin Jinxiu to customize this double-sided embroidery of pine and crane for longevity, preparing to give it to her mother-in-law as a birthday gift.
After accepting this order, Lin Jinxiu immersed herself in embroidery whenever she had free time, and the work was almost finished. According to the current progress, it would take about half a day to complete it.
Seeing that his elder sister was busy and focused, Lin Chuyi sensibly did not interrupt her, but walked quietly into the store to check the situation.
Those young girls back then have transformed into graceful young ladies after a year of transformation. They have grown a lot taller and are full of youthful vitality and confidence. Even their eloquence has become better and better.
At this moment, the three of them are enthusiastically recommending suitable clothes to the customers who come to the store to shop.
Looking at the merchandise in the store, the variety is much richer than before. With the addition of a new children's clothing series, the layout of the entire store has changed significantly, but it looks more organized and well-proportioned.
The inner partition where underwear was originally stored was demolished, forming a large space, half of which was children's clothing and half was women's clothing. The underwear was moved to the second floor, and the inventory was placed in the backyard.
Piao Miao Pavilion only sells adult women's clothing and girls' clothing. The clothing here has a variety of styles and high quality. Since its opening, it has been loved by the majority of female customers. However, during the transaction process, many customers often ask when the store will have men's or boys' clothing for sale.
This situation has not only occurred in the Piaomiao Pavilion managed by Lin Jinxiu, but similar things have also occurred in other Piaomiao Pavilion stores.
Qian Lai, who is in charge of the operation of Piaomiao Pavilion, has already thought of a solution after receiving feedback from the store manager of Piaomiao Pavilion.
He plans to open a new store called "Piaoyi Pavilion" near Piaomiao Pavilion, specializing in selling various types of men's and boys' clothing, in order to capture the men's clothing market share in the surrounding areas of Piaomiao Pavilion.
However, the textile factory had just added a children's clothing production line this year. If a men's clothing production line was added at this time, the factory would face huge production pressure. Therefore, Qian Lai had to put the plan of opening Piao Yi Pavilion on hold for the time being.
To realize this plan, we need to wait for the textile factory to further expand its scale and recruit more employees. I am afraid it will take until next spring at the earliest.
While Lin Chuyi was looking at the layout of the store, Lin Jinxiu finished the embroidery work in the area at hand, stopped what she was doing, raised her head to stretch her neck which was a little sore from working for a long time, and unexpectedly found Lin Chuyi standing in the store.
Lin Jinxiu blinked in disbelief, thinking to herself, "Could it be that I am seeing things?"
However, no matter how she blinked, the second sister in front of her always stood there steadily.
Lin Jinxiu was finally sure that the person in front of her was her second sister. She was so excited that she immediately put down the things in her hands and stood up impatiently and walked towards Lin Chuyi.
When Lin Chuyi left home, she revealed to Lin Jinxiu that she was good friends with the boss of Lulutong and had been helping him deal with some things recently, which required her to travel around and she could only go home about once a year.
Knowing her second sister's abilities, Lin Jinxiu was not too worried about her safety when she went out on her own.
When he was not at home, Lin Chuyi would ask Lu Lutong to bring back some letters and local specialties for Lin Jinxiu and the others every once in a while.
By reading the letters sent back by Lin Chuyi, Lin Jinxiu was able to know Lin Chuyi's approximate whereabouts, and therefore felt more at ease with her.
As the New Year was coming to an end, Lin Jinxiu thought that her second sister would be coming home soon. Sure enough, a few days after she started talking about it, her second sister really appeared in front of her.
"Second sister, it's really you! I thought I was seeing things just now! When did you come back?" Lin Jinxiu's eyes were filled with joy as she spoke.
Lin Chuyi noticed something when Lin Jinxiu stood up. She turned around, her eyes fell on Lin Jinxiu, and she gave her a big smile.
"I just came back too, and saw you were concentrating on embroidering, so I didn't go over to disturb you." Lin Chuyi said with a smile.
Lin Jinxiu was a little embarrassed. "I'm quite absorbed in embroidering and usually don't pay much attention to the surroundings, so I didn't notice your presence just now. How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, but I will definitely make plans after I spend the New Year at home." Lin Chuyi answered truthfully.
Hearing Lin Chuyi's answer, Lin Jinxiu was overjoyed.
"That's great! You're growing so fast. I feel like you're almost catching up with me." As soon as Lin Jinxiu got close to Lin Chuyi, she realized that Lin Chuyi had grown taller, and she couldn't help but sigh out loud.
After expressing her feelings, she held Lin Chuyi's hand affectionately, looked at Lin Chuyi left and right, and carefully examined Lin Chuyi from head to toe.
While Lin Jinxiu was watching, she kept muttering: "Oh, why do you look thinner? And you seem to have become a little darker..."
Lin Chuyi was still a little uncomfortable with this long-lost intimacy, but she did not reject Lin Jinxiu's touch and allowed her to look at her.
In order not to disturb the customers in the store who were shopping, the two sisters went directly to the backyard to talk.
Lin Jinxiu always had endless things to say to her second sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She talked about the recent situation of her younger brothers and sisters at home and the business of Piaomiao Pavilion. Finally, she turned the topic to Lin Chuyi and asked her how she had been doing outside in the past year.
Lin Chuyi listened patiently, and when she was asked about herself, she recited the words she had prepared in advance.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Lin Chuyi took Lin Jinxiu to the front store. As they walked, he opened his mouth to end the conversation.
"I came back from the south this time and brought you a lot of things. I asked the people at Lu Lu Tong to help bring them home. I only brought some seafood to the store. I will cook the lunch."
"While I'm cooking, you can continue to finish your work. Let's just make do with lunch first, and then close the shop early tonight and go back. I'll make you a seafood feast."
Lin Jinxiu shook her head gently and rejected Lin Chuyi's suggestion without hesitation: "You just came home. You are exhausted from the journey. It's time to have a good rest."
"Cooking is such a small thing, why do you need to do it yourself? Let's go out for lunch. Our store has made a lot of money this year. I will pay for you to go out for a good meal."
Seeing Lin Jinxiu's confident look at this moment, Lin Chuyi felt relieved, but she still firmly insisted on her own ideas.
"Since Big Sister wants to treat me, I naturally won't refuse. However, the seafood I brought can't wait. They were already thawing when I brought them here. If I leave them for the afternoon, I'm afraid they will go bad."
“So, let me arrange these two meals today, and let you, big sister, treat us tomorrow. By then, we will definitely eat to our heart’s content. Don’t mind us eating too much.” Lin Chuyi said playfully with a smile on her face.
Lin Jinxiu was not willing to be outdone when she heard this, and immediately said proudly: "You underestimate me, your sister. Just eat as much as you want. Let alone one meal, even if I treat you to eight or ten meals in a row, it will be no problem at all!"
Lin Chuyi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and deliberately raised her voice to say to the three girls in the store, Chun, Xia, and Qiu: "Girls, did you all hear that? Your store manager said he would treat us to ten big meals, so everyone, please remember it for me, everyone who listens will get a share."
