Wu Xuan grinned: "Uncle, it's not possible to open a store now, there are few people in the countryside, and you can't do much business." When there is a fair, it sells for two or three hundred yuan a day, and when it is not a fair, there is only twenty or thirty a day, and people starve to death. ”

"Really?" Zhenhua was a little dazed.

I can't support myself doing business in the town, so it's no wonder that the countryside is getting more and more withered!

Back then, when Chunlan got married, many people in the village were envious, saying that Chunlan was beautiful, found a good mother-in-law, and enjoyed happiness for a lifetime;

However, now, Chunlan and Wu Xuan can't escape the end of going out to work and live after all.

Chunlan also sighed and said, "There are too many smoke hotels in the town, and now there are fourteen in total." How many people can there be in the whole Laohedong Township? On average, the business of each family is not good. ”

Wu Xuan said: "Not only in the town, but also in every village below, there are small shops. ”

Yilan thought for a while and said: "It's really not easy to open a department store now, because this business is so easy to do, ten yuan to buy goods, sell for eleven, it's as simple as that, fools will." So all the stores in the town have opened stores, and the competition is fierce. You should also change the way you do business, or think about other businesses. ”

Wu Xuan shook his head again and again: "I can't think of any other business, all kinds of businesses have been rotten, so it's better to work to save trouble." ”

Zhenhua's eldest sister Zhenxia sighed and asked her sister: "You have opened a store for so many years, your life is light, you don't suffer hardships and are not guilty, now you go out to work, can you endure this hardship?"

"If you want to live, you can't be afraid of hardship. Chunlan pursed her lips and complained about her father again:

"It's my father who hurt me, I had to agree to this family business at that time, Wu Xuan didn't even know a craft, and now he drinks the northwest wind! If you are like my brother-in-law, I can learn a craft in a solid way and get money by working every day, how nice it would be!"

Wu Xuan had a good temper and grinned and did not speak.

Zhao Chenghai sighed and said, "Yes, Chunlan can't compare with Zhenxia now." The main reason is that Dao Gang follows Qi Lei, there are 720 classes a year, there is money for work or not, and there is usually food and drink, tea and cigarettes, Qi Lei has given a lot of ...... Otherwise, Zhenhua will talk to Qi Lei and ask Qi Lei to bring Wu Xuan with him. ”

Zhenhua smiled bitterly: "His little aunt doesn't know how to be a bricklayer, where is Qi Lei...... I'm afraid it's not easy to arrange. But Qi Lei has a wide range of roads, I'll ask him to help inquire. ”

Chunlan said: "Brother, I heard that Zhang Kexiang has become an entrepreneur now, and Wu Xuan and I will go to work with her, okay?"

Back then, Chunlan liked Zhang Kexiang very much, and after so many years, she secretly regretted that her sister-in-law was not Zhang Kexiang, which was a pity.

Zhenhua smiled: "Okay, there's no urgency about this, wait for me to inquire about you." ”

Everyone gossiped and chatted until late at night, and then they rested. Wu Xuan and Chunlan lived close to each other and rode back on a motorcycle.

In the bedroom, Yilan soaked her feet in water and sighed: "Zhenhua, I'm worried that Chunlan and Wu Xuan's today will be our tomorrow." If you are not a cadre, neither of us has the skills, how will we support a large family in the future? Wu Xuan also has three brothers, and he does not have to bear the burden of his parents' pension alone. Your family is only one of your sons, and ...... from now on."

Zhenhua also stuffed his feet into the footbasin and said with a smile: "As long as our parents don't get seriously ill, it's okay for us to eat, right?"

Yilan rolled her eyes: "What about the two children studying? Don't you want money? You, hurry up to meet Zhang Kexiang on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lala relationship, in case we don't have anything to eat in the future, maybe we really have to go to her." ”

Zhenhua smiled: "If I defect to Qi Lei, I won't defect to Zhang Kexiang, right?" Although I don't have skills, but I show the gate to Qi Lei's construction site, no problem, right?"

said it lightly and chicly, but in fact, Zhenhua was also worried.

Chunlan and Wu Xuan are going to work, which has a great impact on Zhenhua. The world is changing so fast, so fast, that people are caught off guard!

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, at nine o'clock in the morning, Qi Lei personally drove back and took Zhenhua to the city to drink.

Yilan just didn't go, and neither did Zhuang Xiaodie.

Qi Lei pretended to persuade a couple of sentences, pulled Zhenhua into the car, and ran away!

Before arriving at the county seat, Zhenhua said: "Qi Lei, it's still early, I want to go to Zhang Cheng's house and pay a New Year's greeting to his father." ”

Over the years, Zhenhua and Zhang Cheng have kept in touch and corresponded with each other.

Qi Lei thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, Director Shi, let's go by the way, after all, people helped us back then." ”

When he arrived in the county seat, Qi Lei bought a bunch of gifts, resolutely did not want Zhenhua to spend money, first went to see Director Shi, and after drinking a cup of tea, he went to see Zhang Cheng's father.

Zhang Cheng happened to be at home, pulling Zhenhua and Qi Lei: "Don't leave at noon, I'll call a few more classmates and have a drink!"

Zhenhua explained: "Old classmate, it's really not good today, we made an appointment to have dinner in the provincial capital. Otherwise, we'll make an appointment another day, and I'll listen to your arrangement. ”

Zhang Cheng sighed, sent Zhenhua and Qi Lei out of the compound, and suddenly said: "By the way, Secretary Zhao Boss Qi, I am going to go to your Hedong Township to eat together, when the time comes, you will take care of it." ”

Zhenhua was surprised and asked, "What are you doing in our Hedong Township?"

Qi Lei's brain reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "Transfer to our Hedong Township to be the head of the grain station?"

Zhang Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Our grain station system is now half-dead, the old guys have retired, and the young people have bought out their seniority a few years ago, and there are not many young people left in the whole system." Now, we need to support young cadres. I was 40 years old, and finally became a young cadre, and I was transferred to the Hedong Grain Station to be responsible. ”

Zhenhua laughed: "Okay, old classmate, I don't have to worry about selling food in the future!"

Zhang Cheng smiled: "Secretary Zhenhua, don't talk nonsense, you are now a secretary, a figure like a mountain carving, and in Hedong Township in the future, you and Boss Qi will cover me." ”

Qi Lei patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder and said, "When will I take office, I will come back and pick you up with Zhenhua." ”

"Inform Zhenhua when the time comes. Zhang Cheng said.

Zhenhua and Qi Lei said goodbye and went to the provincial capital.

Walking on the road, Zhenhua talked about Chunlan and his wife going to work, and asked Qi Lei if there was a suitable way.

Qi Lei laughed, and said without difficulty: "What other way do you need to work?! As long as you are willing to work, are you afraid that no one will want it? Not to mention one Chunlan and Wu Xuan, I can arrange ten, just make a phone call." Don't worry, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will arrange for them. ”

Zhenhua sighed: "The person who is the boss is different, the big thing in the eyes of our people, in the eyes of the bosses, is also a matter of phone call." ”
