Chapter 386 Cheap

   On the other side, Lan Xinya's clothing store on the third floor of Huamei Shopping Mall in Kyoto has been open for more than two months.

  This is a storefront of about 20 square meters. The three walls of the store are covered with clothes, and there are three rows of long hangers against the wall. At first glance, the clothes are hung densely.

   Besides that, Lan Xinya didn't even miss the position on the door!

  She pulled the rope, and a few clothes were hung above the store door as a display.

  Compared to the clean environment and clear clothing display of Yunshu Clothing Brand Direct Store, Lan Xinya's store is too small to display, so she chose to focus on the quantity of clothes.

  The customers who come to her store basically do it themselves, looking for clothes that suit them on the three rows of hangers against the wall.

  Although Lan Xinya has some vision and knows how to match clothes to look good, but when the customers see her ugly appearance covered in fat, they think she doesn't know how to dress up, and they can't believe her vision.

   What created Lan Xinya's image was that the customers who came to the mall subconsciously felt that the clothes in her store were all cheap!

  Because the clothes in her store are considered to be cheap, the people who enter the store to choose styles to buy clothes are either young girls who have just started working and have little money in their hands.

  Either she is a middle-aged woman who is older, who has gone through the waste of daily necessities, is careful about budgeting, is very good at living, and wants to keep the price to the lowest when buying clothes.

  As long as girls with a little more money will not enter her shop—

   In this way, if the clothes in her store want to sell, it is necessary to go through a lot of bargaining with customers.

   Even if the clothes are sold in the end, the profit is meager.

  Sometimes she even sells a piece of clothing for a dollar!

  Every piece of clothing in Lan Xinya's store is personally selected, purchased, packed, and shipped back to Haicheng by herself.

  The little money she earns now is not even enough for her hard work selling goods back and forth!

   After two months, although Lan Xinya's shop sold a lot of clothes, but in terms of making money, she really didn't make much.

  Excluding the store rental fee, she earns an average of more than 100 yuan a month...

   Although the money was more than what she earned working in the factory, it was hard money!

  In two months, Lan Xinya had been puffy in the Meng family for two years, but because of her hard work, she looked thinner.

  But being so thin doesn’t make her look any better~

   On the contrary, her original puffiness has changed to make her look much stronger now!

  Plus she is always showing her face outside, morning and night, the wind comes and goes, and she is in a hurry to sell goods every day, which makes her skin rougher a lot.

  Besides, she is not like she was taken care of every day when she was in Meng's house, living a leisurely and open-mouthed life.

  Since she opened a clothing store, she has greatly reduced her rest time!

   Such a result caused her scalp to secrete excess oil, so Lan Xinya waited every day for a big oily head and rough yellow skin, she didn't look like a young girl in her early twenties at all.

   Said she was a middle-aged woman in her 30s and 40s, no one doubted her!

  Lan Xinya like this has no image at all—

  Even Lan Xinya didn't expect that she used to love beauty and dress up, but now she is so ugly from head to toe that she couldn't help sighing.

  …

  Meng's family, since the weather got warmer, the number of times Meng Dabao got sick has also greatly decreased.

  In addition, Meng Heng and Liu Cui, mother and son, took good care of the children. In the past few months, Meng Dabao finally did not suffer from serious illnesses.

   At most, I have occasional coughs and colds, and I will be fine in a few days after taking some medicine.

  When he was one year and three months old, Meng Dabao finally learned to walk.

  Although he walks much later than other children, whether it is Meng Heng or Liu Cui, it doesn't matter. As their sons/grandsons grow up, their physical fitness will gradually catch up—

  Children who are one year and three months old already know how to call them parents.

  But no matter how Meng Dabao was taught by his family, he just smiled "hehe~" and didn't open his mouth.

   Occasionally, vague syllables came out of his mouth, but it was not a specific name.

  It wasn't until Meng Dabao was one year and five months old that he called out, "Baba!"

  …

  Although the weather in August is not the hottest time of the year, the high temperature is generally over 30 degrees.

  The heat wave in the air makes it difficult to go out.

  Meng Heng held a cattail fan at home, and chased after his son to fan him.

  Meng Dabao, who has just learned to walk, is particularly interested in walking.

  Plus he is a boy, with a mischievous and troublesome temperament in his nature, so Meng Dabao just opens his eyes every day and walks around the room——

   Fortunately, Meng Heng is full of energy and his physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, so he can stay behind his son and take care of him all the time, and he can also use his hands to fan his son and cool him down.

  Even so, Meng Heng felt that he could be exhausted by his son every day!

  It is really not easy to take care of a child. He feels tired even as a big man, even more tired than he used to train in the army.

   Whenever this happens, Meng Heng always thinks in his heart that it is good for him to leave the army and be able to take care of the children at home.

   Otherwise, with Lan Xinya's patience and temper, how could she take good care of her son?

  Even if his mother is taking care of the children most of the time, she can’t keep her eyes on her for a moment. After all, she has to cook, wash clothes, and do housework.

   At this time, someone needs to keep an eye on it.

  Meng Heng cannot guarantee that Lan Xinya will take good care of her son at this time.

  So it is better for him to come and bring it by himself, so that it is safer and more at ease.

  …

   In a blink of an eye, it is autumn, the heat is gone, and the weather is getting cooler.

  During the day of national celebration in early October, Meng Heng took his son out to play while the weather was cool.

  In Kyoto, whether it is the central area or the suburbs of Beijing, there are many scenic spots to see and are worth seeing.

  Considering that the main purpose is to make the children happy, Meng Heng decided to play at the zoo.

  Kyoto’s zoo is definitely the largest and most diverse zoo in the country in this day and age!

  Meng Dabao saw all kinds of animals, his eyes were full of excitement and curiosity.

  While Meng Dabao was watching the monkey swing, a sweet and soft little girl's voice sounded near him—

   "Dad, the monkey paper swing is so high and boring!"

   "Ma Ma~ I want to raise a monkey paper—"

   "No, Xiao Qingning, monkeys cannot be kept at home." Lan Shu told her daughter seriously.

  Hearing the name 'Xiao Qingning', Meng Heng subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice—

   In the next second, Meng Heng saw Gu Jue, his wife, and their daughter watching monkeys in the zoo.
