Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband

Chapter 474 - 472: Big Brother’s Love

Shen Qing, knowing Lin Wan had started making clothes again, directly took the child back home with her.Hu Lijuan was on vacation, so she came over to help her.

With two sewing machines at home, from morning until afternoon, Lin Wan and Shi Lan along with Liang Hongmei kept switching back and forth nonstop.

In two days, they produced the household’s quantity, and Lin Wan and Yin Peibai first notified the department store and Sister Zhao.

Because the two of them have a wide reach, they can quickly help them with the promotion.

Red short casual down jackets, forty each, waterproof cotton pants, twenty each. Woolen coats are unified at the price of thirty-five each. Pants are five bucks each. Windproof jackets are eighteen each. The blue-gray cotton coat is fifty bucks, made by Lin Wan, suitable for both men and women, rather wide, can be worn over an inner jacket or alone, hence more expensive; these are wholesale prices.

Director Wang and Sister Zhao, upon first hearing the prices, thought they were steep, but after seeing the goods, decisively asked her how much inventory she had.

They wanted to buy them all. Lin Wan was amused.

This time, she couldn’t let them take everything, only handing over fifty pieces of each style to them.

To the supply cooperatives and South Street shops, on the fourth day, they reluctantly supplied not much inventory, and it was grabbed as soon as it arrived.

With scarce manpower here, Lin Wan brought Aunt Jin over.

Luckily, Yin Peibai’s mom introduced them to two more aunties.

In seven days, they barely finished all seven to eight thousand pieces.

Besides rushing, quality was also paramount.

Once their goods were released, the entire market went crazy, with the red down jacket and woolen coat being the most sought after.

The down jacket was shown in a movie, and many young people love to follow trends, which are already budding now. So, it especially appealed to the young crowd.

Also, woolen coats - the mid-length style isn’t found on the market; they look so good that once worn, people don’t want to take them off.

The long blue-grey cotton coat was priced a bit high, didn’t sell very well, but was the treasure of their store.

Seeing the situation, Lin Wan guessed these two styles wouldn’t be enough, so she went to Cotton Street to bring in a batch.

This time, aside from red, she also chose the same style in dark blue, making a men’s version. Within a week, another thousand down jackets and a thousand woolen coats were produced.

Lin Wan was afraid they’d be snatched up, so she kept a red woolen coat and a grey-blue cotton coat for herself.

For Han Yi, she kept a pair of waterproof cotton pants and a windproof jacket, and for the men’s woolen coats, kept two pieces for Han Yi and brother.

Mom and Aunt Jin also kept a coat for themselves, and Lin Wan kept one for her mother-in-law too.

Of course, godfather and godmother couldn’t be left out.

Shi Lan heard that clothes were to be sent to Han Yi and sent a set to Ning Jiang at his home, matching Lin Wan’s package, just in different colors.

Godfather and godmother had another parcel, sent separately.

Yu Qianqian, hearing from Hu Lijuan that Lin Wan had released good goods again, came by to take some profitable styles back to her own shop.

Her shop now not only sells yarn but also all kinds of sweaters and cotton pants, occasionally showcasing attractive clothes.

Lin Wan slightly raised the prices for them below, fearing too much price variance.

The supply cooperatives and department stores operate within one system; they sell the same items at identical prices.

For the private ones below, Lin Wan has instructed that their prices shouldn’t differ too much from the commercial stores, otherwise, once discovered, they’ll not get another supply.

The merchants like Yang Erni aren’t foolish; of course, they’d take any chance to earn more money.

So, thus far, there hasn’t been any pricing issues....

"Qingqing"

In the reception room of the area, Mu Qing, at the moment of seeing Lin Yinghui, was dumbfounded yet couldn’t hold back the tears in her eyes.

"You’ve gotten thinner, darker" Lin Yinghui didn’t comfort her, just stepped forward to gently wipe away her tears with his hands.

The moment his warm hand touched her face, a long-lost warmth surged from the heart.

"Why didn’t you inform me in advance when you came" Mu Qing isn’t one to act so coy, she quickly collected herself and blamed him lightly.

"Wanted to surprise you"

"Fool, what if I wasn’t here, you’d be running for nothing" Mu Qing scolded him affectionately, pulling his hand to lead him outside.

"I’ll take you to the guesthouse, have you eaten?"

"Not yet" Lin Yinghui carried two bags with one hand, being pulled by Mu Qing with the other, and looked at the person in front of him with a smile that didn’t fade.

According to the department, the guesthouse isn’t far, Mu Qing asked for a single room for Lin Yinghui.

She couldn’t bear letting him stay in a dormitory and wanted to have a private conversation with him.

"How many days did you travel by car?" Once in the room, Mu Qing saw the two large bags in Lin Yinghui’s hands and hurriedly helped him set them on the table.

Putting down his belongings, the two embraced each other, "Qingqing, it’s so good to see you."

"Ah Hui, let me go with you"

Mu Qing’s words suddenly tensed Lin Yinghui up, then he responded, "We’ve come this far after all this time, what’s another two years? If you come with me now, you’d be deserting." Lin Yinghui said, unable to part, kissed Mu Qing’s forehead "I’ll wait for you until you retire in two years."

At this point, Mu Qing, who was previously able to hold back, felt tears silently streamed down her face "No... My parents possibly let me in, but didn’t intend for me to retire" Mu Qing shook her head as she spoke.

She understood her parents well, knowing they never did anything without benefits.

"Even if you don’t retire, I’ll still wait for you" Lin Yinghui’s heart was resolute.

"Fool..." Mu Qing smiled helplessly, suddenly feeling a sense of stability.

"Compared to the department, I prefer the life outside"

"Calling me a fool, I think you’re the fool, usually you seem smart, how come you get confused when faced with things? If you don’t like it, usually perform ordinarily in the team; the department doesn’t nurture useless talents, poor qualifications mean they won’t want you."

"You’re the fool, you don’t know, in my class I’m already ranking near the bottom in every metric, how much worse could it get?"

And so, the two held each other closely, entangled for a long time, long enough for Mu Qing’s arm to nearly go numb.

The fact that they were young and that their love wasn’t favorable to their parents led to uncertainty and the desire to reconcile until adults were satisfied.

Mu Qing understood her parents’ nature well enough, knowing logic or emotions wouldn’t sway them.

Her relationship with Lin Yinghui was discovered unexpectedly during winter break.

Because the two called during the break and her mom overheard, Mu Qing didn’t hide and shared her relationship status and Lin Yinghui’s family situation with them.

As she expected, her parents immediately erupted with anger, disagreeing with her association with a rural boy.
