When entering the room, the aroma of the food was wafting. Liu Yun was bringing a large plate to the table, which was full of pork ribs, and some radishes and mushrooms were mixed in the soup. Just looking at it made the mouth water.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Liu Yun turned her head immediately, and greeted Chen Yuanming with a smile, "Doudo, you are finally here, I told Mao Mao to go... Oh, what happened to your clothes, where did you get hurt?!"

Seeing the black and red blood stains on the boy's dirty knees and schoolbag at a glance, Liu Yun walked over nervously and pulled Chen Yuanming to look carefully.

"Don't mention it, when I went, Doudou was surrounded by several classmates and wanted to beat him!" Sun Lang chimed in, "The wound on his head was caused by those guys. I don't know how many times it is. !"

"How could this be?!" Liu Yun was annoyed when she heard this, "Did you tell your mother? Tell her to go to the head teacher!"

"Auntie, it's really nothing this time." With an embarrassed smile, Chen Yuanming evaded, "And it's winter vacation now, so it's not worth worrying about..."

"You kid is so boring! How could you be bullied like Ermao..." Thinking of the situation in Chen Yuanming's family, Liu Yun couldn't help but sigh. When the children were fighting, as long as they stabbed Chen Jianhua in front of him, they couldn't help but beat up their son first, and no one dared to play with him after the trouble.

He ran to get a wet towel, patted and flicked off the floating dust, Liu Yun pressed Chen Yuanming on the bench, "Eat first, you are too thin, how dare they bully you if you get stronger!"

There are two dishes and one soup on the table, and a bowl of white rice in front of each person. It seems that people's index fingers are twitching. Sun Lang has already picked up a chopstick and stuffed ribs into Chen Yuanming's bowl. People dare to provoke!"

"During this time, Auntie is also knitting gloves at home. Why don't you come to Auntie's house during the winter vacation, Doudou, to study and do homework with Maomao..." Liu Yun also picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into Chen Yuanming's bowl with stewed cabbage vermicelli. The pile of vegetables came to the fore, "By the way, how many points did you get in the final exam this time?"

"679 points, seventh in the class." Chen Yuanming took two mouthfuls of rice and brought the crumbling pile of vegetables back to the balance line.

"How much?!" The rice in Sun Lang's mouth spewed out, and he looked at Chen Yuanming in shock. At this time, L City was still using the local percentile examination paper, with a total score of 700 in seven subjects. "It's only 20 points away and it's still the seventh in the class?!!! Why is No. 680 Middle School so perverted? Our first place in the school is only over [-] points!"

"What's more, what score did you get in the top 50 in the whole school!" Liu Yun glared at her son politely, then turned her head and smiled at Chen Yuanming, "Really, you come here to help Maomao with homework, auntie I'm so sad."

Seeing Liu Yun's warm smile, Chen Yuanming didn't understand something.Sun Lang's father is the branch director of the factory. Sun Lang is supposed to go to a university in this city. University is still out of the question.To put it bluntly, he was just worried that he would be bullied by others again, and asked Sun Lang to help him get in the way.

But no one knows the future development better than Chen Yuanming. After 3 years of high school and 4 years of university, the state-owned enterprises will be laid off at the peak. At that time, the state-owned enterprises have long since lost their glory, and there are countless bankruptcies and transformations. If you only have a third-rate university degree, talk about it How competitive?Since the other party cares about him so much, he should reciprocate...

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Chen Yuanming showed a big smile, "Okay, auntie, I will help the second brother with his homework. If I can find high school textbooks, I can try to help the second brother warm up."

Hearing this, the two people on the opposite side were taken aback, and Sun Lang's face immediately twisted into a ball, "Doudou, are you really here?! This is winter vacation!"

"What happened to the winter vacation!" Interrupting her son's complaint with a slap, Liu Yun immediately felt relieved. No parent would dislike her good grades. Wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone? "Auntie, go ask other neighbors, and you can always find a few high school textbooks. Your second brother can rely entirely on you!"

"Auntie, don't say that, the second brother has good grades." Chen Yuanming also ignored the winking of someone opposite, and replied with a smile, and then remembered another thing, "By the way... uncle is not in the branch factory. Do you work in the office? I wonder if you can find some newspapers for me, it doesn’t matter if they are out of date, I really want to read the newspapers..."

"Oh, that's easy!" Although he was a little curious about what kind of newspaper a child reads, but this thing is not a rare thing, Liu Yun agreed, "I just tell your uncle, the newspapers in their office are all picked up by the gatekeepers and sold. What a pity!"

Just talking about making trouble like this, it's fun to eat a meal.After the meal, Liu Yun sent his son to wash the dishes. Liu Yun took out a pair of brown gloves from the cabinet and handed them to Chen Yuanming.

"Your sister and I researched this... Doudou, look..." Handing the gloves to Chen Yuanming nervously, Liu Yun looked at him eagerly, as if completely forgetting that he was only a 15-year-old child.

After pinching the thread of the glove, the real fine wool is soft and comfortable, not too sticky.The five fingers are very well-proportioned, and there are a few simple stripes on the back of the hand, and the color matching is also beautiful. Chen Yuanming took one and put it on his hand. His hands are bigger than ordinary middle school students, and the knuckles are very long. It's a bit petite, but the warmth from the wool is still impeccable.He casually took out a pen from his schoolbag, tried it a few times, and found that the distance between his fingers was neither loose nor tight.

"It's great!" With a sincere admiration, Chen Yuanming took off his gloves, "There is nothing to say about the workmanship, but how much work does it take for you to make a pair of these gloves, Auntie?"

"Can this work? It won't take much work. A pair will take about 2 or 3 hours, right?" Liu Yun's excited eyes lit up. Can be faster."

"2, 3 hours..." Chen Yuanming frowned slightly, it was a little longer than he expected, after thinking for a while, he pinched the gloves again, "What if the thread is looser? You don't need too many needles, About 2/3 of that density."

"That might be a little faster, but it won't save much thread..."

"It's not a thread problem." Chen Yuanming smiled, "No matter what you buy, you must first increase the grade. If this kind of color matching and delicate stitching, you should add another color matching simple and slightly rough, for customers. Things sell better when you have a choice. And look here..."

Chen Yuanming turned the glove over and pointed at the bottom, "Auntie, you can get some satin cloth similar to the trademark, embroider a simple pattern, and then use a sewing machine to roll it in. Then it will be said to be a big-name product in Shanghai."

"Then... isn't that a lie?" Liu Yun asked in a daze. These days, people don't have a deep brand awareness, and they don't know how to identify brand products when they wear clothes, so they don't think about these problems at all.

"This is called a marketing strategy." Chen Yuanming was not in a hurry, and slowly explained to the other party, "Auntie, think about it, who doesn't care about things from Beijing and Shanghai these days, and it's good to bring them out, isn't it? Our things are not too rare, but the packaging It can make it noble, once something is noble, the price will go up..."

"Then, how much is the right price?" Liu Yun hesitated again, "This glove uses very little thread, and the cost of a pair is only a few cents. Add the trademark you mentioned, and you can sell it for 3 yuan..."

"The exquisite one sells for 8 yuan, and the ordinary one sells for 5 yuan." Chen Yuanming simply replied, "Most of them are made into women's models, the closer the fit, the better. Men's models are just ordinary ones, and the weaves are slightly larger."

Liu Yun was completely overwhelmed. At this time, a sweater cost only 1 yuan, and the monthly salary was only about 200 yuan!Can a pair of gloves be sold like this?

"Don't worry." Seeing Liu Yun's expression, Chen Yuanming smiled, "Auntie, trust me, I've spent so much effort, I can't let you pay for it."

After thinking about it, he took out another homework book from his school bag, and sketched simple patterns of cartoon characters such as Kitty cat, Winnie the Pooh, and Snoopy on the paper.I have never learned painting, and the paintings look crooked, but in Liu Yun's eyes, these patterns are quite novel and cute.

"These are the styles of famous foreign brands. It would be great if we could find a way to weave them into gloves. With these patterns, we will not worry about selling them. But let me say first, do less delicate ones with patterns, and more simple ones without patterns. some."

Looking at the blueprint in front of him and listening to Chen Yuanming's methodical narration, Liu Yun also slowly settled down. Thinking of the profit of each pair of gloves, his heart suddenly became hot. "Okay! Auntie listens to you, let's try this time!"

They discussed a lot of details about the sale that day, and finally Sun Lang drove the man back by himself.Although he arrived home later than last time, the excellent grades in the final exam can obviously offset everything, and his parents also showed a little arrogant complacency about his helping Sun Lang with homework during the winter vacation, without any objection.While lying on the still cold and hard wooden bed, Chen Yuanming raised the quilt and closed his eyes in the cold wind seeping through the window.A night without dreams.
