Chapter 165 - 164: Haha (5 updates)
Lin Wan received a letter from Zhang Shuhua that day, saying her tailor shop had already opened. She had made a few styles of clothes that were selling quite well. She even mailed two wool coats to Lin Wan. One was a short khaki coat, and the other was a medium-length bright red coat. It had to be said, the designs Zhang Shuhua made were really good.
Lin Wan wore one directly to school in the evening, and quite a few classmates said it looked good. Yin Peibai dragged her around for a long time. She insisted on wanting that bright red wool coat.
"Lin Wan, sell this one to me, and let your friend make one for you or for me too. It’s perfect timing since my cousin’s birthday is in a few days; her figure is quite similar to yours."
"Since you want it for your cousin, then take it. I only wore it today for the first time, the bright red is too conspicuous, and I don’t like it." The wool coat looked nice when wearing it, but washing it was too troublesome, and she felt a bit lazy.
"Really, thank you so much, Lin Wan."
Through this period of interaction, Lin Wan knew a bit about Yin Peibai’s father, who was a leader in a government department; she didn’t know which unit exactly. Yin Peibai’s fiancé seemed to be a government official too, apparently working at the inspection office, and she saw him come to pick up Yin Peibai from school once.
Lin Wan speculated that her cousin’s family should also be influential people, otherwise Yin Peibai wouldn’t be so meticulous in choosing a gift for her.
To express her gratitude, Yin Peibai introduced Lin Wan to a student from the Literature Department when she came to class the next day. He was in his twenties, already married, working in a paper factory. Their factory had recently produced a new type of toilet paper.
Lin Wan was overjoyed upon hearing this; living as a rebirth person for two years, she finally awaited this "benefit."
She was finally saying goodbye to the era without toilet paper, and no longer troubled by finding old newspapers for going to the toilet.
This student must have sold quite a bit at school, bringing two large packs of long toilet paper to school every day.
Five mao per jin. It was one mao cheaper than buying from the factory, and since it was introduced by Yin Peibai, upon seeing Lin Wan buying two jin, he immediately gave her an extra two liang.
