Shen Jianan and Gu Yu spent two hours supervising the children’s intensive training before stepping aside, leaving Liu Zhengjun to continue the drills.
Afterward, Gu Yu used the space to travel to Fuyuan Town. He had previously agreed with Zhong Ning that the latter would come to accompany the children to school on the first day of the term. Since Zhong Ning hadn't appeared, Gu Yu decided to check if he had run into any trouble.
Meanwhile, Shen Jianan hurried back to his small courtyard to urge the workers to speed up production. Summer clothing was the most profitable and had the longest selling season. However, with the busy farming season approaching, some people would not only have to work in the fields to earn work points, but they would also have to engage in handicraft work—processing rattan and bamboo—once the brigade finished preparing those materials in a month or so. Given this allocation of time, everyone would have less time to work at the workshop. Therefore, he wanted to accumulate as much inventory as possible while everyone was still free, so that he and the workers could have an easier time later.
