Li Mu's aunt Xiao Yunzhi and aunt Xiao Yunlan arrived together, and the aunt first said hello to Li Mu's family of three when she entered the door, and then apologized, saying that Li Mu's aunt and eldest cousin went back to their hometown together last week, so she just came here by herself today.

The aunt's family of three is complete, and her husband Zeng Jiwei takes her eight-year-old daughter Zeng Jing.

After entering the door, the aunt only said hello to Li Mu's mother, and then skipped Li's father and went straight to Li Mu's grandparents.

Dad Li was a little embarrassed, and the sister-in-law hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed one to Dad Li: "Brother-in-law, smoke a cigarette." ”

At this time, the uncle and aunt pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as they pushed the door, the two were shocked by the scale of the private room in front of them, and the two exchanged a look, suppressing the surprise in their hearts.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you're here. Li Mu's mother saw the two enter the private room, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

Li Daoping also nodded slightly and said hello: "Brother and sister-in-law are here." ”

Uncle Xiao Yunjian nodded indifferently, then glanced at the two bottles of Moutai on the dinner table, turned to look at Li Daoping, and said with a bit of seriousness: "Daoping, Xiao Mu did well in the exam, which is indeed gratifying, but when did you like to rectify these formalisms?

Li Daoping was a little embarrassed, and blurted out that the money was earned by Li Mu, but he didn't expect to be robbed by Li Mu: "Uncle, my dad said, today is not mainly to celebrate how many points I scored in the exam, but to take this opportunity to get together as a family, we haven't eaten together like this for a few years, and the last time I ate was when my sister Yuanyuan went to college." ”

Li Daoping glanced at Li Mu, then nodded with a sudden realization, and said with a smile: "Yes, big brother, let's just have a meal as a family, Xiao Mu doesn't know if he can be admitted, there is nothing to celebrate at this time." ”

"Well, what school did Xiao Mu enroll?" said the uncle, walked to the dining table, picked up an open bottle of Moutai and sniffed it near his nose.

The flavor of the national liquor is so unique! It costs hundreds of dollars a bottle, and even he himself can't drink it two or three times a year.

Li's mother said at this time: "Xiao Mu applied to Renmin University. ”

"Renmin University?" the uncle frowned and put the wine back on the table: "636 points are indeed not low, but if you go to Renmin University, is it a bit hanging?"

Dad Li smiled: "The child decides by himself." ”

At this time, the eldest aunt asked, "Which school is your second choice?"

Li Mu took it upon himself: "I didn't apply for my second choice. ”

"Didn't report?" The eldest aunt was stunned, and after a while, she said with a rich expression: "Oh, if you can't be admitted to Renmin University, will you repeat your studies for another year?"

As soon as these words came out, a room full of people looked at them.

The first choice to apply for such a high threshold for colleges and universities, but they have not yet applied for the second choice, Li Mu's approach shocked them too much.

However, Li Mu didn't care, anyway, he knew the situation, and the National People's Congress would definitely be able to leave, so he didn't plan to continue the topic, and said to his father: "Dad, we're all here, hurry up and sit down." ”

Dad Li reacted at this time, and hurriedly smiled and beckoned his grandparents and others to sit down.

The uncle was suspicious, and as soon as he sat down with his wife, the younger sister Xiao Yunlan took the initiative to be by his side.

At the huge table, they happened to sit opposite Li Mu's family of three, and the aunt covered her mouth and asked in the uncle's ear: "Big brother, you have a lot of money for this meal today, right?"

The uncle smacked his lips and whispered: "Two bottles of Moutai and eight cold dishes, Li Daoping is out of the way, although the hot dishes have not yet been served, but looking at this posture, three or five thousand yuan is indispensable." ”

"Good girl!" the aunt was extremely surprised: "You said that he is always picking a child, what is the matter today?

The uncle said, "I don't know, did I get rich?"

"Just him?" the aunt pouted: "You don't know what the Xiling Coal Mine is like? It is estimated that he and my second sister are now only 178 a month." ”

Uncle nodded and asked, "How is your children's clothing store business doing?"

"It's okay. Auntie was a little melancholy: "This year is not very good, there are more children's clothes sold, and they are all purchased from the south, competing for customers and pressing prices, more than half of this year, and I will earn 10,000 yuan after calculation." ”

As he spoke, several waiters served six hot dishes in a row, and the uncle took a look at it, and sighed to his aunt: "Li Daoping's meal is almost the top of your income in the first quarter." ”

The aunt laughed twice: "It is estimated that Li Daoping feels that he can't raise his head in front of our family, and this time he took advantage of his son's high score in the exam, and he wanted to earn some face." ”

At this time, under the urging of Li Mu, Dad Li stood up a little nervously, held a glass of wine, and said an opening sentence with a slight stumble, and then Zhang Luo everyone touched the glass together and began to move the chopsticks.

The uncle ate a few bites of something, and said to Dad Li with ulterior motives: "Daoping, I heard that your Xiling Coal Mine has two batches of laid-off lists this year, and the first batch has been announced, right?"

Li Muxin said that the uncle and aunt have to talk about the Xiling Coal Mine every time they meet, as long as the topic starts at the beginning, it will be fine.

Li Daoping nodded at this time: "It has been announced, the first batch of this year will be laid off at the end of this month, and the list of the second batch will not be announced until November." ”

"In the first batch, there are no you and Yunfang, right?"

Li Daoping took a sip of wine and said, "No two of us." ”

"That's good. Uncle smiled: "We are a big family, we worry about your family all day long, you say that the efficiency of your Xiling Coal Mine is getting worse and worse, you will be laid off when you say you are laid off, and you will go out of business if you say that you will go out of business, Xiaomu is going to college this year, and the tuition and miscellaneous expenses and living expenses are a lot of expenses, what should you do then? Even if you borrow money, you can only borrow it once or twice, who will lend you money if you have more times?"

Dad Li's expression was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded again and again, looking teachable, his uncle is the boss of the Xiao family's generation, and he uses such a preachy tone with everyone.

Li Mu couldn't look past it, in his eyes, what his uncle said was hypocritical and ugly, as if he was afraid that his parents would ask him to borrow money in the future.

So, Li Mu said lightly at this time: "Uncle is right, my parents have been summing up these days, Xiling Coal Mine can't last long, they want to take the initiative to lay off and do some business." ”

Li's father and Li mother looked at Li Mu with a look of surprise, Li Mu gently patted the legs of the two under the table at this time, and without waiting for them to speak, he said again: "I also think it's good to do some business now, it's much better than going to work." ”

The people at the table were a little surprised, in their opinion, the people of the whole country have gone to the sea, and Li Daoping will not go to the sea, he is the kind of cautious person, leaving the iron rice bowl, he is afraid that he will not even be able to sleep!

At this time, the aunt smiled and said, "Ouch, the second brother-in-law also wants to go to the sea? It's really rare! I don't know what business you want to do with my second sister?"

Li Mu hurriedly replied again: "My parents mean to do some clothing business. ”

Auntie's face instantly turned cold, and her tone was a little unfriendly: "The clothing business is not something that anyone can do if they want to, I have made some money in a children's clothing store in recent years, but you can't just look at my money and not look at my risk and hard work, my store, the rent is 800 yuan a month, counting the water, electricity, industry and commerce and sanitation fees, it has to be 1,000 yuan less a month, and the store has to press 20,000 yuan of goods all year round, and it is difficult to make money." ”

Auntie's fierce reaction made everyone a little stunned, but Li Mu quickly reacted, Auntie has made some money by opening a children's clothing store in the past two years, and she said at this time that her parents want to do a clothing business, and it is estimated that she thinks that her parents want to follow her path and will compete with her, so they will be a little excessive.

Li Mu smiled helplessly in her heart, she remembered the children's clothing store of her aunt, it was opened in a relatively remote location in the old street, and it was estimated that she would not be able to invest a total of twenty or thirty thousand, and she had the impression that she would not be able to do that store after a few years, how could she let her parents take this route.

So, Li Mu said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be nervous, my parents are not going to do children's clothing business, and they will not compete with you." ”

The aunt breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that her performance just now was a little excessive, and hurriedly covered it up: "I'm not afraid that your family will compete with me, the main thing is that the children's clothing business is really not so easy to do, don't think about it, if you really want to make children's clothing, I can introduce my purchase channel to you at that time." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly: "No need Auntie, my parents' opening of the store is still brewing, and I will have to wait for more than a month to make a decision at the earliest." ”

Li Mu's parents looked at each other, they never thought about doing business at all, let alone what kind of clothing business, Li Mu opened his mouth in front of all his relatives at this time, and both of them wanted to explain in their hearts, but when they thought that Li Mu had explained before, Li's father and Li Ma had no choice but to suppress the doubts in their hearts.

At this time, my grandfather opened his mouth and asked Li's mother: "Yun Fang, Xiao Mu is going to college this year, and you are still going to open a clothing store, so you have to get a lot of money, right?" If you need me and your mother to help, you two will let me know, and our old couple can help a little." ”

The aunt also spoke: "Yes, Yunfang, if you need money, just tell your sister, and my sister will help you find a way." ”

At this time, my aunt hurriedly said: "Our family is not very good this year, but if you really open a clothing store, our family will find a way, and we can still turn over a few thousand yuan, mainly because of Yuanyuan's girl, who needs money to go to school in Jinling, and this girl spends money all day long, and she doesn't know how to be thrifty at all." ”

Li Mu was amused in his heart, the eldest aunt's sentence seemed to want to help, but in fact, the possibilities were basically blocked, under normal circumstances, when it came to this part, no one would open their mouths to borrow money again, even if they borrowed, it would be a few thousand yuan at most.

The sudden hand of the eldest aunt is also interesting in Li Mu's opinion.

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a round-faced girl in her early twenties pushed the door in: "Who said I spent money all day long." ”
