Chapter 294 Sister-in-law is Back
The reason why Guan Youshuang had this idea was thanks to her previous life.
In her previous life, although she was just a college student and had not yet entered the workplace, most of her seniors from other departments of her school entered some 996 or even 007 companies after graduation.
We work around the clock every day, and even if there is nothing to do, we have to stick to the working hours, which makes everyone miserable.
For others, even if they don’t work 996, the company’s attendance system is very strict, and they will be deducted money if they are late for a few minutes.
Guan Youshuang doesn't want to be a capitalist who exploits people.
Her original intention of building the factory was to help these housewives.
"What do you think, Brother Yan?"
Yang Yan smiled and said, "I feel like I'm listening to a divine book. Although I don't know how feasible it is, I think it's worth a try. Entrepreneurs should have an innovative spirit. Youshuang, you're great."
"No, no, I still need to learn more from Brother Yan."
"Oh, Youshuang, you see I forgot something so important. I just received a notice yesterday saying that there is a non-legacy handicraft competition sponsored by the provincial trade union in the city. I think you can participate."
"Really?" Guan Youshuang became interested. "Do you have any requests?"
"No, it just needs to be in line with the intangible cultural heritage, which definitely includes embroidery skills." Yang Yan continued, "And if you can win the first prize, in addition to the 1 yuan prize, you can also shoot a promotional video for the embroidery factory and broadcast it on TV. Although there are few TVs in our countryside, there are many families with TVs in the city."
"That's great, it's like free publicity. Brother Yan, when is the competition?"
"August 14th of the lunar calendar."
"The day before Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Correct."
"It's only half a month. I have to go back and prepare well."
Yang Yan looked at her belly and said, "This happens every year. If you are not feeling well, you can still participate next year."
"Opportunities are missed every time, I must participate this time." Guan Youshuang stood up, "Brother Yan, I'll be leaving first. I hope you can help me keep an eye on the factory here. Thank you for your hard work."
"Well, don't worry."

Guan Youshuang had just fastened her seat belt when Gu Errong called.
He said Xiaoyun was back and was about to take the 4 o'clock bus home. He asked Guan Youshuang if she had time because Gu Xiaoyun missed her.
"Yes, I just finished my work. Where are you now? I'll be there soon."
"It's at the noodle shop near the station. No rush, drive slowly."
"it is good."
When they arrived near the station, Guan Youshuang parked the car, bought two cups of milk and walked into the noodle shop.
"Xiaoyun."
"Sister-in-law, you're here." Gu Xiaoyun hurried over and took Guan Youshuang's hand affectionately, "Sister-in-law's belly is so big."
The southern climate nourishes people, and Gu Xiaoyun is obviously whiter than before. She is wearing a white shirt and jeans, with a high ponytail, and she looks full of youthful vitality.
"Come, sit down and drink some milk." Guan Youshuang handed the milk to Gu Xiaoyun and Gu Errong.
"I don't want to drink. You and Xiaoyun can drink." Gu Errong asked, "What kind of noodles do you want? I'll have some."
"I've had lunch and just drank a lot of water, so I can't drink anymore. Xiaoyun, how are you? Have you been to Zhejiang?"
"Yes, I went to West Lake in Hangzhou with a few friends." Gu Xiaoyun became excited, her face flushed, "It's such a big lake, there are many willow trees on the edge, the branches are very long, all hanging down to the lake, it's so beautiful, there are many people taking pictures there."
"Did you take the photo?"
Gu Xiaoyun's eyes dimmed: "No, taking photos is expensive, it costs 5 yuan."
Guan Youshuang felt distressed and said quickly, "It's okay, next time my sister-in-law will take you there again and we can take a few more photos."
"Well, second brother, sister-in-law, I have decided that I will go to Zhejiang for college entrance examination in the future."
Gu Errong frowned and said, "Why run so far? It's not easy to go home."
"But it's beautiful there, with green mountains, clear waters, and tall buildings. What do we have here?"
"You have parents and relatives here. If you run so far away, no one will help you if something happens."
Guan Youshuang felt that it was too early to discuss the matter now, so she changed the subject: "Xiaoyun, what noodles did you want?"
"beef noodles."
As he was speaking, the proprietress came over with a bowl of beef noodles.
"Girl, your face."
"Auntie, do you have a small bowl?"
"Yes, I have."
The proprietress soon came out with a small bowl.
Gu Xiaoyun took out some noodles and pushed them in front of Guan Youshuang, saying, "Sister-in-law, you eat too."
"I don't want to eat. I ate at noon. You should eat now."
Guan Youshuang pushed the noodles back.
"Eat, sister-in-law. You are pregnant. It doesn't matter if you eat more."
"Then eat some more." Gu Errong also said, "If it's not enough, we can order more."
Guan Youshuang wasn't really hungry, but she couldn't resist the persuasion of the two siblings and ate a few bites.
"By the way, Xiaoyun, when does school start?"
"Register this weekend and the school will officially start next Monday."
Guan Youshuang thought about it and realized that today was already Thursday.
"You're in such a hurry, will you have time to pack your things?"
"If there's still time, just pack some clothes and stuff. I've prepared all the school supplies. They're in the suitcase." Gu Xiaoyun pointed to the pink handbag in the corner. "The school supplies over there are so cheap. I bought some extra."
"Okay, if you need any school supplies in the future, go find Yuting. She opened a stationery store in front of your No. 1 Middle School. We also import the goods from Zhejiang, and the price is very cheap."
"Ah? You buy from Zhejiang? How do you get it?"
"This is a long story, I'll tell you in detail later. By the way, Errong, did you say last time that you were going on a business trip?"
"Yeah. Next week."
"Where to?"
"Baifeng City."
"That's great. I'll go with you."
"Are you going too?"
"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Baifeng City will hold an intangible cultural heritage skills competition. I would like to participate."
"Sister-in-law, what is the Intangible Cultural Heritage Skills Competition?"
"It is intangible cultural heritage, which refers to the existence of oral inheritance, behavioral habits, and skill transmission, such as Peking Opera, traditional festivals, paper-cutting, embroidery, etc."
"Oh, then sister-in-law is the most suitable. I think you will definitely win first place."
Gu Errong hesitated and said, "But you are pregnant now. We are on a business trip to inspect reservoirs and dams. We will be busy outside during the day and have no time to take care of you."
"No need to take care of me. I just want to find a quiet place to do my embroidery. Besides, living in the city, I can be the first to know any news about the competition. I don't want to miss this competition."
