Facing the sudden yful demeanor of Gu Zi, Li Hua couldn’t help but burst intoughter. The two women, rted by marriage, found themselves in fits of giggles, taking a while to regain theirposure. Li Hua, holding Gu Zi’s hand, asked, “Dear sister, please tell me, how did you figure out that we would have fewer customerster?”
Gu Zi wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue, havingughed until she cried. She exined softly, “Actually, it’s just amon pattern. If we do a good job promoting our business before opening, we will be very busy at first, and this willst for a while.<div>
“However, once the initial buzz from the promotion dies down, the shop will enter a rtively quiet, even slow, period. Like these past few days, our business has reached a stable level. We won’t see a significant increase or decrease in customers. At this time, it’s appropriate to reduce our supply to avoid waste.”
Li Hua listened to Gu Zi’s exnation, her eyes wide with admiration. In her view, this must be the magical power of the educated. “So there’s such a strategy involved. How did you learn all this? Do they teach you how to run a business in school in the city?”
Gu Zi didn’t know how to respond for a moment and just chuckled. She then thought of an exnation, “Schools don’t usually teach this, but we can learn it ourselves. I learned it from books, which can teach us a lot!”
She didn’t want to lie, but she couldn’t exactly say that she was from the future.
Moreover, her exnation wasn’t entirely untrue. Some economic books,bined with a bit of intelligence and luck, could indeed lead to making a fortune. Yes, that’s it. Gu Zi convinced herself.
Li Hua was amazed, covering her mouth with her hand, “So reading books can be so powerful? Books really are a good thing. Look at us, we don’t read, weck knowledge. We only know a few characters and can’t do anything else. Can I read books?”
Gu Zi smiled at Li Hua, giving her approval, “Of course you can. Not just you, even our mother can learn and improve herself by reading books if she wants to. Do you want to read? We can buy a history book for you to read. Just pick one that’s easy to understand, as long as you canprehend it.”
Li Hua made up her mind on the spot, pping her thigh, “Alright, isn’t the shop closed tomorrow afternoon? I was nning to go to the city with Mom for a tasting session, I’ll buy a book then!” Li Hua got up, full of energy, and went to clean up.
Gu Zi had not expected that Li Hua would develop an interest in reading. She saw it as a positive development, for indeed, reading could lead to personal growth. In this era, the country had already conducted several literacy campaigns, leading to a significant improvement in the people’s educational level.
However, in remote areas and rural regions, the spread of education was still far from sufficient. It was even more necessary for the people in these ces to have the ability to learn and read on their own.
Now that Li Hua had this ability, Gu Zi was happy for her. She had always believed that everyone should read, especially women.<div>
At this moment, Su Le ran towards her. She picked up the little girl and said to her, “Our Lele must also read a lot in the future. Not only should she read, but she should also travel, to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of this world. Isn’t that right, little Lele?”
Since they were destined to be mother and daughter, as long as she was in the Su family, she would do everything in her power to ensure that Su Le led a good life.
Su Le seemed to understand her mother’s words. She hugged her mother’s face and kissed it, responding, “Okay, Lele will read and walk.”
Seeing her daughter respond so quickly, Gu Zi was somewhat surprised and extremely pleased. She sat with her daughter on the second floor of the shop, telling her stories. During this time, Yuan Yuan also came to y with them. Gu Zi let him and Lele listen to her stories together. That afternoon, the two children, including Gu Zi, were very happy.
The shop closed early that day. When Gu Zi took Lele home, the sun was still hanging low in the western sky, casting a warm glow.
Today, Lele and Yuan Yuan had yed until they were sweaty. When Gu Zi got home, she first carried Lele upstairs, turned on the shower, filled the bathtub with a small amount of warm water, and let little Lele happily take a bath.
At first, Su Le was afraid to sit in the bathtub. As soon as she was put down, she would cry. However, she adaptedter and particrly enjoyed bathing in it.
Now, as soon as she was put in the bathtub, she would happily ssh around, drenching Gu Zi. Just like now, Gu Zi’s chest was soaked by the water sshed by the little girl.
