In terms of the relationship, she should call him cousin.
His wife was in her second marriage, but she was beautiful and came from a good family, though her education was somewhat lower than that of her husband.
The cousin acted as a mediator, handling both his mother and mother-in-law quite effectively.
"The autumn harvest is underway at home, and who knows how this year’s yield will turn out?"
Zhao Xinxin knew a bit about this.
"I heard from my second brother that the seedlings at home are growing nicely this year," she said.
Those few who hadn’t married yet.
Made Yun Xiaoxiao feel like she had become a member of the matchmaking brigade.
There was no need to worry about Zhao Xinxin.
But Zhao Tianhe and Fang Chaoyang were both becoming real bachelors.
Was she worrying over nothing?
She was about to get busy too, preparing to get certified.
After Zhang Lanhua came out of confinement, she took her child to work at the store, so Zhao Tianlei no longer had to go to the electronics store every day.
He was busy dealing with the fabric for winter clothing.
He wanted to make down jackets.
But where to buy the down?
"Third Brother, I heard there’s a village in the neighboring city with lots of ducks; I plan to check it out," he said.
The down in the jackets was duck down.
"You can find washed and clean duck down in Capital City. Even if we find duck down, we don’t have the machinery to clean it and remove the smell. We should look for fabric that doesn’t easily leak down," he said.
When Zhao Tianlei first bought this garment factory, it was on the brink of bankruptcy, and he thought clothing was very profitable.
He had not expected to be able to develop the garment factory as he did.
Capital City already had its third Yuntian Clothing Store.
"That indeed is a problem."
Cotton clothing did not have this issue, but down was prone to it.
"Cotton can be used for long and short coats, with hoods, with zippers, similar to down jacket designs, except the insulation is cotton, not down."
Yun Xiaoxiao was the final decision-maker on the designs.
Zhao Tianlei thought Yun Xiaoxiao had a good eye for fashion.
He chose pink, sky blue, white, black, and red, adding a few other colors inside.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t mind other colors, but feared they wouldn’t sell.
After all, bright colors like green, purple, and orange might not be widely liked.
"We also have cashmere fabric, let’s finalize a few coat designs with and without belts, short and long, and get these clothes on the floor as soon as possible. Otherwise, when it gets colder, they might not be suitable," he said.
The winters in Capital City were long.
If they didn’t make the cashmere coats soon, they really might not sell once it gets too cold.
"We’re already rushing production; they’ll be available this week."
Zhao Tianlei couldn’t go to the factory every day, so after dinner, he and Fang Chaoyang would discuss some factory issues.
Seeing it was getting late, the three of them went off to night school.
At this time, as long as you enrolled, you could basically attend night school.
As soon as the cashmere coats were hung up, quite a number of women saw them and couldn’t resist wanting to buy one.
But these cashmere coats were not summer clothes; they each cost several tens or even hundreds.
Those from well-off families happily bought one.
Those from average households could only look.
Capital City wasn’t short of wealthy people.
It has to be said, the newly arrived cashmere coats sold quite well.
Fang Chaoyang had run around numerous factories before they finally located a duck down factory.
Zhao Tianlei had searched many textile mills for fabric that would prevent the down from leaking through but hadn’t succeeded.
Finally, Yun Xiaoxiao couldn’t stand it anymore and bought a piece of fabric from the internet for him.
