Chapter 273 The Liu Family Returns to China
Finally, on a sunny day, Xiao Liu sold his house in England, packed his bags, and embarked on his journey back to Xia Country with Xiao Xuan and Jack. On the plane, Xiao Liu looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, his heart filled with emotion.
"Mom, are you nervous?" Xiaoxuan asked.
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "A little, but mostly I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what will happen when I get back."
Jack said excitedly, "Auntie, it's going to be amazing! I can't wait to start our new life in Xia Country!"
Looking at the two young people, Xiao Liu felt a surge of satisfaction. The plane slowly descended, and Xiao Liu took a deep breath before stepping out of the cabin. The familiar air rushed towards her, and she knew that her new life had officially begun.
As soon as Xiao Liu got off the plane, he saw Li Yuan, who had come to pick him up. The two hugged tightly as soon as they met.
"Xiao Liu, welcome home!" Li Yuan said excitedly.
Xiao Liu's eyes welled up with tears. "Yes, I'm finally back."
Li Yuan looked at Xiao Xuan and Jack and said with a smile, "This must be Xiao Xuan and her boyfriend, right? They look so handsome!"
Xiaoxuan and Jack quickly greeted each other, and Jack even playfully said in Xia Guoyu, "Hello Auntie, please take good care of me in the future!" which made everyone laugh.
On the way to their new home, Li Yuan kept telling Xiao Liu about the changes in Xia Guo over the past few years. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city outside the window, Xiao Liu was filled with mixed emotions.
“Xiao Liu, the apartment I found for you is in the city center, with convenient transportation and complete surrounding facilities. If you want to open a small shop, there’s a commercial street nearby, the location is quite good,” Li Yuan said.
Xiao Liu said gratefully, "Sister Yuan, thanks to you. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
Li Yuan patted Xiao Liu's hand, "What are you saying? We're good sisters, it's only right that we help each other out."
Upon arriving at her new home, Xiao Liu looked at the spacious and bright house and was very satisfied. "Sister Yuan, this house is really nice, thank you so much."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "As long as you're satisfied. By the way, I've also inquired about jobs for you. There are a few companies that seem suitable for you. Prepare your resume, and I'll help you submit them."
Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you so much."
In the days that followed, Xiao Liu was busy looking for a job and handling various procedures. Xiao Xuan and Jack were also busy, accompanying Xiao Liu to look at shops and helping him come up with ideas.
After looking at several shops, Xiao Liu finally found a shop she liked. The location was good, and the rent was within her budget.
"Mom, this shop is really nice. It would be very unique if it were renovated," Xiaoxuan said.
Jack nodded in agreement, "Auntie, I think we can decorate the store in a traditional Xia Kingdom style, plus some modern elements, which will definitely attract a lot of customers."
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. But the renovation needs to be designed carefully, we can't be careless."
So, Xiao Liu began working on the shop's renovation. She communicated with the designer, selected materials, and was extremely busy every day. Li Yuan also frequently came to help, providing her with various suggestions.
“Xiao Liu, I think this wall would look great with wallpaper featuring traditional patterns,” Li Yuan said, pointing to a sample.
Xiao Liu examined it carefully. "Hmm, it looks pretty good, but isn't it a bit too flashy? Our shop mainly focuses on displaying handmade products, so the walls shouldn't be too eye-catching."
The designer added, "Ms. Liu's concerns are valid. This type of wallpaper can be used in specific areas, such as in areas showcasing unique handicrafts. This will highlight the theme without making the space look cluttered."
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea, let's do it that way."
When choosing lighting fixtures, Xiaoxuan also offered her own ideas: "Mom, I think we can choose some simple yet stylish lighting fixtures, preferably with adjustable brightness for different display areas, so that the products can be highlighted better."
Jack added, "Yes, and the color of the lighting is also important. Warm colors make people feel more cozy and comfortable, attracting customers to stay longer."
Listening to their suggestions, Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly, "You two really impressed me; you've thought of everything so thoroughly."
Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the shop was finally renovated. Looking at the brand-new shop, Xiao Liu felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Sister Yuan, Xiao Xuan, Jack, thanks to you all, otherwise I really don't know how long I would have been busy by myself," Xiao Liu said gratefully.
Li Yuan said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite with us? If you get too busy with business in the future, just let us know."
Xiaoxuan and Jack both expressed their full support for Xiaoliu.
The opening day of the handmade shop was a lively affair. Friends and family came to support it, and Jack also promoted it extensively on social media, attracting many customers. Seeing the bustling crowds in the shop, Xiao Liu was filled with joy.
"Mom, congratulations on your store opening!" Xiaoxuan said happily.
Jack smiled and said, "Auntie, I wish your shop a prosperous business and all the best!"
Looking at them, Xiao Liu's eyes were filled with happiness. She knew that returning to Xia Country was the right decision.
As the days went by, Xiao Liu's shop business got better and better. One day, a regular customer walked into the shop and said to Xiao Liu, "Boss, I especially like the things in your shop. Every piece is very charming. I have a suggestion. Do you think you could hold some handicraft workshops regularly to let more people know about and participate? That might attract more customers."
Xiao Liu thought the suggestion was great, and when he got home that evening, he discussed it with Xiao Xuan and Jack.
“I think this idea is feasible,” Xiaoxuan said. “Now everyone likes these kinds of experiential activities, which can increase customer loyalty and also serve as a form of publicity.”
Jack agreed, adding, "We can also incorporate some Western handicraft elements into the event to make it more unique."
So, Xiao Liu began preparing for a hands-on craft workshop. She contacted some craft enthusiasts and invited them to teach at her shop. The first event attracted many customers, all of whom showed great interest in crafting.
"Mr. Liu, this event is fantastic!" said one of the participants. "I never knew that handicrafts could be so interesting. I will definitely come again in the future."
Xiao Liu responded with a smile, "Thank you for your support. We will hold more fun events in the future, and you are welcome to come often."
As the shop's business stabilized, Xiaoxuan and Jack worked hard for their future. Xiaoxuan found a job she loved and was full of energy every day. Jack, on the other hand, was learning about Xia Kingdom's culture and business, hoping to better integrate into the community.
One evening, the family was sitting around the dining table eating. Suddenly, Xiaoxuan said, "Mom, Jack has been thinking about starting a business recently. He has a great idea and would like to hear your opinion."
Jack smiled a little shyly, "Auntie, I want to create an online platform to promote Xia Kingdom's unique handicrafts to the international market and let more people know about Xia Kingdom's traditional culture."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu's eyes were full of admiration: "That's a very meaningful idea, but starting a business is not an easy thing. Are you fully prepared?"
Jack nodded seriously. "I've done a lot of market research and developed a preliminary plan, but I still need some help in terms of funding and connections."
After thinking for a while, Xiao Liu said, "Regarding funding, I can help you with some things first. As for connections, I know some friends who work in foreign trade, maybe they can offer you some advice."
Xiaoxuan also encouraged him from the side, saying, "Jack, I believe you can do it, and I will fully support you."
With the support of Xiao Liu and Xiao Xuan, Jack embarked on his entrepreneurial journey. He was busy with various meetings and planning every day, and although it was hard work, he was full of motivation.
Meanwhile, Xiao Liu's shop continued to grow and expand. She began collaborating with artisans to launch a series of exclusively designed handmade products, which were very popular with customers.
On one occasion, a wholesaler from out of town came to the store and said to Xiao Liu, "I saw your store's products online and I think they have great market potential. I'd like to cooperate with you to promote these handicrafts to our local market. What do you think?"
Xiao Liu was both delighted and hesitant upon hearing this. She worried that various problems might arise during the cooperation process, affecting the shop's reputation. After returning home, she discussed it with her family.
“Mom, I think this is a great opportunity,” Xiaoxuan said. “It can expand our market share and increase brand awareness.”
Jack also said, "Auntie, as long as we clarify all the terms before we start working together, there shouldn't be any major problems. We can also start with a small-scale collaboration to see how it goes."
With encouragement from her family, Xiao Liu decided to cooperate with this wholesaler. After some effort, the cooperation progressed smoothly, and the products were well-received in markets outside the region.
As time went by, the Liu family's life in Xia Country became increasingly stable. Xiao Liu's shop business flourished, and Jack's entrepreneurial project gradually got on track. Xiao Xuan also achieved good results at work and gained the recognition of her superiors.
In this city brimming with opportunities and challenges, the Liu family has embarked on a new life through their hard work and perseverance. With each other's support and companionship, they face life's difficulties and setbacks together, sharing both successes and joys. The road ahead is long, but they are full of confidence, knowing that as long as the family is together, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
