They purchased two beds, one large double bed, and one single bed. Initially, Tang Yue wanted to buy a wardrobe, but after checking out the wardrobes available on the market, she found them to be flashy but not practical, not very usable, or simply unattractive.
Tang Yue excitedly pulled Mo Siyu to search for a furniture factory.
Jing City was vast, with numerous furniture factories. Tang Yue actually found a small-scale factory that looked good. She went in and explained her purpose to the owner, such as wanting to provide her own design drafts for the factory to make.
She wanted to make a whole wall of cabinets, which could store a lot of items. For the guest room, apart from the wardrobe, she could also add bookshelves. That way, it wouldn’t occupy much space but would still allow for hanging lots of clothes.
The owner was very enthusiastic. After learning the dimensions from Tang Yue, he immediately agreed, and the price he quoted was much lower than what Tang Yue had expected, almost like he was giving it to her for free.
The owner chuckled, feeling a bit embarrassed as he said, "Miss, your wardrobe design is very attractive. Could we, perhaps, in the future, make more to sell to others?"
The owner said this without daring to look at Mo Siyu.
"Cough." Tang Yue cleared her throat and said, "Sure, but if you want more styles, you can collaborate with my fourth uncle. He does this kind of work."
Tang Yue mentioned it casually. Since she wasn’t planning to enter the furniture business herself, doing a favor for the owner while also getting her wardrobe made her very pleased.
The owner took note of the address seriously.
Tang Yue suddenly remembered about the desk. She hadn’t seen a suitable one at the furniture market, and now that she was here, she naturally wanted to make one that suited her perfectly. Something simple that could be used in the future both as a dressing table and desk.
The owner was naturally enthusiastic, assuring Tang Yue that he would make it for her within three days, working overtime if necessary.
At that moment, Tang Yue had no idea that this incidental choice would eventually lead her fourth uncle, a carpenter from the county, to collaborate with a furniture factory in Jing City. Eventually, her uncle would open the largest furniture factory in the county.
Of course, that was something for later and is not the focus right now.
Tang Yue left feeling completely satisfied and triumphantly said, "Hehe, Uncle Mo, you see, I saved you some money."
Mo Siyu stopped in his tracks, correcting her, "Not Uncle Mo, but future husband. Si Yu is also fine."
"Who was it that insisted I keep calling you ’Uncle Mo’ before?" Tang Yue brought up the past, determined to call him that regardless, saying, "Uncle Mo, Uncle Mo, Uncle Mo."
Tang Yue called out three times in a row.
Mo Siyu was left speechless, looking at her. Initially, he hadn’t had that in mind, so naturally, he wanted her to call him based on Tang Mingli’s generation.
Did he dig a hole and bury himself in it?
Mo Siyu’s gaze deepened, causing Tang Yue’s face to redden.
Tang Yue quickly changed the subject, "Oh, let’s go buy curtains."
"Okay." Mo Siyu didn’t say more.
The two had a simple lunch and then went to buy curtains and other fabric items needed, everything purchased by Tang Yue was complete.
For the four-piece bedding set, Tang Yue planned to make it herself. Once she measured the size, it would be easy to do, with all fabric colors being light and pleasing to the eye.
They also bought a fan and various kitchen items.
The kitchen items were especially numerous and varied. Even though they wouldn’t light the stove for a while, Tang Yue realized after bringing everything home that she had missed a lot.
In the residential compound, the car was loaded with two beds and a sofa, plus a heap of other items to carry upstairs. The new residential building had just been built, and during this time, many were moving in furniture, so it wasn’t unusual.
As soon as she got home, Tang Yue started hanging curtains.
Well, Tang Yue directed while Mo Siyu executed the tasks. At that time, curtain installations were simple, but Tang Yue preferred the kind from the future with a pull rod. After buying the fabric, she sewed circles into it, then found a sturdy and durable rod to make a simple curtain.
For the living room and two bedrooms, she chose light-colored curtains. However, the bedroom curtains were thicker, with very good light-blocking effects. Once the curtains were drawn, the light was completely blocked out.
Organizing the kitchen was quite troublesome, with pots and pans everywhere. Although they weren’t cooking yet, she still needed to prepare for when she might stay over during the weekends after school started.
After finally organizing everything they bought, Tang Yue collapsed on the sofa, helplessly saying, "Uncle Mo, you do the housework from now on."
Tang Yue propped her chin with her hands and said, "I can fold clothes, clean, and such, but sweeping is up to you."
She didn’t like sweeping at all.
"Okay," Mo Siyu readily agreed, crouching in front of the sofa with his forehead touching hers. He held her hands tightly and said, "Xiao Yue, take good care of your hands. I’ll do the dishwashing and preparing the vegetables; you just be the chef."
"I like that," Tang Yue smiled.
Unnoticed by them, evening came. After dinner, Mo Siyu went back to his dorm, and only Tang Yue was left.
It was only a few days before school started, and Tang Yue thought she might as well draw a batch of design drafts before school began so she could relax a bit afterwards.
After over a year of operation, Mingyue Clothing Factory was gradually finding its rhythm, with orders coming in one after another, more each time. The new factory building was now in use, and the output was many times more than the initial start-up phase.
Mingyue Clothing was now tapping into the national market.
What she needed to focus on now was Star Bright and the Star Bright studio.
With clear goals, Tang Yue felt full of motivation.
A few days ago, during a phone call with Tang Zhengde, he mentioned planning to open a restaurant instead of a breakfast shop, aiming to expand the business.
Tang Yue fully supported this decision and transferred the shared profits given by Qin Anyu to them, asking Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian to buy a suitable house if they found one. The cost didn’t matter as much as a good location, such as near the No. 1 Middle School or somewhere central.
The weather was clear and sunny. The day Tang Yue and Zhang Tingyu had agreed upon arrived in a blink of an eye.
They agreed to meet at the main entrance of Jinghua University.
"Xiao Yue." Zhang Tingyu spotted Tang Yue standing at the school gate from afar. She wore a blouse with ruffled lace edges and a sky blue skirt, fashionable and flattering to her figure. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, radiating youthful energy. Paired with her increasingly beautiful face, many students were already surreptitiously glancing at Tang Yue.
