"I’ll take a set of these in this size."

"This set seems pretty nice too."

With nearly ten thousand pieces of clothes, there were loads of people picking out garments. Tang Yue and her uncle Tang Mingli didn’t stop for a moment.

"Did you just arrive today?"

A person in a uniform came over and noticed Tang Mingli’s truck parked by a fence, with others setting up shop beside it.

"Comrade, we are just setting up here for one day." Tang Mingli stepped forward with a smile, handing out Dahongmen cigarettes that he had brought on purpose.

Tang Mingli handed out cigarettes to each of them, politely inquiring if it was possible to rent the spot just for the day.

The uniformed individuals were easy to talk to and agreed to a one-day temporary rental. However, due to the large space the truck occupied, they indicated the price would be higher than usual for one day.

Tang Mingli nodded with a smile. Even though it was a bit expensive having to pay for two stalls’ worth, it was still better than having no place to set up at all.

This was just a small hiccup. From their arrival in the Provincial City until past three in the afternoon, the truck loaded with nearly ten thousand pieces of clothes was now completely sold out, not a single piece left.

"I’m exhausted." Tang Yue plopped down, devoid of any ladylike demeanor. She had purposefully worn a pair of jeans today, sitting on a pile of packaging bags, her whole body having been soaked in sweat multiple times throughout the scorching day. Although they found some shade under a big tree, the heat was still stifling.

"Xiao Yue, you worked hard. Let’s head back first. I’ll treat you to a nice meal tonight." Tang Mingli was tired too, but the bulging wallet filled with money made him feel that all the hardship was worth it.

"Aren’t you going to see Sister Jiajia?" Tang Yue sat in the truck, leaning back into the soft seat, not wanting to move an inch.

"Not today, we can visit her another time," said Tang Mingli as he jogged to buy three ice pops. The uncle and niece each enjoyed one, and even the driver wasn’t left out.

"Brother Wang, thanks for all your help today." Tang Mingli handed the fare to the driver, topping it up with some extra money. The driver had been busy helping them pack and move goods during the sale.

"Is this too much?" The driver, Brother Wang, looked at the extra money which was more than what he would earn from a day of bricklaying.

"Not at all, you deserve it for all your hard work on such a hot day. And you’ve been such a great help," Tang Mingli said genially. This was their first time working with Brother Wang, and they might need this kind of truck more often in the future as their clothing business grows, so a good relationship now paved the way for future cooperation.

Compared to when they left, Tang Mingli’s mood on the ride back was soaring. His face was lit up with excitement, showing not a trace of fatigue.

Tang Mingli sat in the front passenger seat while Tang Yue curled up in the back row, sprawled out from exhaustion. They had risen early in the morning and after a long day, she slept all the way to Wangjiang County, only waking up when Tang Mingli called her to get off, realizing they had reached the county.

"Xiao Yue, we’re here." Tang Mingli gently nudged Tang Yue.

Groggy, Tang Yue opened her eyes to see the familiar apparel factory. She hopped off the truck; although the sun hadn’t set, the factory workers had already finished their shifts.

"Xiao Yue, you’re back? Did you sell all the clothes?" Deng Lanhua had just finished organizing the fabric in the warehouse and saw Tang Yue and Tang Mingli returning, their hands empty. She had an inkling of what might have happened but found it hard to believe.

If it had been a thousand pieces, Deng Lanhua wouldn’t have hesitated to believe they were all sold, but nearly ten thousand? She had witnessed the loading herself, a truck crammed full of clothes left her wondering, could they really have sold them all?

"Sister Deng, we sold them all," Tang Yue said cheerfully, thinking back on it, felt that today’s hardships weren’t in vain.
