December 8, 2002, the fifth day of the 11th lunar month, everything is appropriate.

Yesterday there was heavy snowfall, and this morning the cool breeze made people shiver.

For Zeng Hao, who is afraid of the cold, getting up in the morning is a painful thing. But there is no way, who said that today is a good day for the opening of his parents' store, can Zeng Hao, who is a son of man, not get up to help and help out?

The south is not like the north, there is a kang or something in winter, that is, a fire is lit in the house during the day, and it is also fully heated, let alone sleeping on it at night. In these years, air conditioning is still a luxury, and I have never heard of floor heating, and the heating in the south at night depends on a drying cage and placed in the quilt.

The inside is filled with charcoal, packed in a clay pot, and the outside is woven into a basket made of bamboo, and directly stuffed into the bed. The quilt is cotton again, if you sleep alone, and the person who sleeps is not honest, then it will not become a self-immolation. Generally, only children who are still wetting the bed should be supervised by an adult.

In the daytime, it's really called heating, all by shaking, and going out. If you ride a bicycle, the position of the handle will freeze in this weather.

Thermal clothing has not yet become popular, and it can only be said that it has not yet been invented. Zeng Hao put on two autumn coats and pants on himself before he felt that the heat on his body had reached the standard.

opened the door and walked out of the room, although there were two autumn clothes and pants blessings, and there was a cotton coat outside, Zeng Hao still shivered unconsciously, and quickly shivered himself.

I feel that this weather is really a necessary medicine for waking up and drowsy in the morning, there is nothing that cannot be woken up, if it is really impossible, then wear one less, and some people are cold-tolerant, then they will decrease in turn. When you get bare-assed, see how hardy it is.

After shouting two words to his parents and getting an echo, Zeng Hao followed the sound and found Zeng Renmin and his wife in the stove house.

Liu Feng saw that his son had already gotten up, and hurriedly said to him: "We have already eaten, you should hurry up yourself." Your father and I will first carry the red cloth, red envelopes, cigarettes and alcohol that we will use today to the car. ”

Zeng Hao replied: "Okay, you can get it first." ”

Liu Feng wiped the water on his hands just after washing, took off his waist and said to Zeng Hao again: "You hurry up." ”

Zeng Hao was stuffing food into his mouth, signaling the car keys that had just been placed on the table with his eyes, his cheeks were bulging, and he didn't have any extra mouths to answer.

Seeing his son like this, Liu Feng said angrily: "I told you to hurry up and didn't tell you to be like a dog grabbing food, don't choke." Without waiting for his son to reply, he went out of the stove house to help his husband clean up the things that he would use.

By the time Zeng Hao finished eating and washing, Zeng Renmin had already loaded his things into the car, and was waiting for his son to finish and prepare to leave.

Zeng Hao hurriedly checked whether he had brought all the biological products, then beckoned his parents to get in the car and drove towards the county seat.

On the way, Zeng Hao said to his father: "Dad, when you are busy for a while, you will go to the driving school to learn how to drive, and it will be more convenient to go where to drive your own car like this when the time comes." ”

Zeng Renmin also figured it out during this time, so he nodded and said, "I know, when this time is busy, I will go to study when the time comes." ”

Zeng Hao saw that his father was not as hesitant as before this time, and he answered very simply, and blocked the words that he was going to persuade, so he split the topic and talked about other things.

The gasoline burner was faster than the bone oil, and after a while, the three of them came to the door of the store. Zeng Hao stopped the car and turned off the engine and opened the back box, and the two fathers and sons moved their things down.

The two newly recruited clerks next to them hurriedly stepped forward to say hello when they saw the boss, the proprietress and the little boss coming, and Zeng Renmin and his son unloaded the things, and the two clerks helped move the things to the store.

There are many people and great strength, and it doesn't take a while, and a whole back box of things will be loaded into the store. Zeng Hao moved the car to another location and parked it.

When Zeng Hao walked into the store, Liu Feng had already instructed the clerk and her husband to move here and there.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Hao hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and joined the busy army. Before the matter could be started, Liu Feng stopped his son and said, "What are you doing blindly?"

Zeng Hao replied angrily: "What is blind participation, help you get it together." "It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and it's still wrong to help.

Liu Feng said: "Okay, you don't want to help here, you go and call and ask, why haven't the flower baskets arrived yet, urge them to send them quickly." Then take the firecrackers outside and put them away, and they will be ready to use. ”

Seeing that his mother had arranged things for him, Zeng Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call and ask." "I walked to the place where the firecrackers were set, put my pockets in my pockets and walked outside.

Before leaving the store, Liu Feng shouted inside: "Don't disassemble the firecrackers first, and then disassemble them when they are lit, you can find a corner and put them first." ”

With both hands in their pockets, there is no way to wave. Zeng Hao didn't look back and said that he knew, thinking that his mother should hear it.

Place firecrackers next to the door so that they don't stand in the way and are conspicuous. So I called the owner of the flower shop and urged her to hurry up and send the flower basket first.

Putting down the phone, Zeng Hao saw Li Ming, his wife, Zhan Peng and his party get out of the car.

The custom here, if anyone is happy, the person who goes will bring a circle of firecrackers, a piece of red cloth, of course, if the conditions are good, and then bring two bottles of wine, four things to make a fortune in the four seasons, it is better.

When the three of them walked in, Liu Fang handed the things to Zeng Hao and said to him: "Boss Zeng, I thought that I would definitely be busy today, so I took it upon myself to come over and help with it, there was nothing to do, just a circle of firecrackers and a red cloth, I wanted to buy wine, but Li Mingfei said no, so I didn't buy it." ”

When his parents' shop opened, if he invited Li Ming and his subordinates to come over, not only would they feel awkward, but they would also not be comfortable, so Zeng Hao didn't invite them.

Just saw Li Ming and his entourage, Zeng Hao originally felt very strange, why did they come, thinking that they had come to visit relatives and happened to meet, this will be after listening to Liu Fang, only then did he know that this was the case.

Nodding at them, he said, "People can come, and bring something." Go in first, my parents are inside. ”

The three of them were busy with the decoration of the house, and Zeng Hao didn't invite them. Originally, Li Ming and Zhanpeng didn't want to come, and they knew that it would be embarrassing to come.

Liu Fang proposed to come over and help lay down the start or something, just gave a house to himself, although the two also helped Zeng Hao do a lot of things, but whether to send it or not is all between Zeng Hao's thoughts, not to send it is duty, and to send it is love. Since the boss is so good to you, then you have to be careful........

The two listened to it and came over early this morning. This will listen to Zeng Hao's orders as usual, instead of greeting, and his heart is much more steady. I also knew that I was very busy today, so I didn't say much, so I went to the store to help do something else within my ability.

The three walked into the store and said hello to Zeng Renmin and his wife, Li Ming followed Zeng Hao for a long time, and Zeng Renmin and his wife also knew each other, and Li Ming was the middleman and introduced the four to each other. After saying hello, Li Ming and the three began to join the busy ranks.

Usually Zeng Hao's family of three, when chatting together, Zeng Hao said about the situation of Li Ming's family, and Liu Feng saw that Liu Fang was ready to help lift and move, and hurriedly stopped and said to Liu Fang: "Xiao Liu, you come over and help me get this, you do less heavy work." ”

They were busy until about 9:30 a.m. After all, if you have money, you can't walk at night, and Zeng Hao's original game hall stores are basically in every township, and he can't hide anything, this time his parents opened a store, set the tone and prepared to do a big deal, so they invited their relatives and friends in the business field. At this time, the nearby relatives and friends began to rush over one after another, and Liu Feng came forward to take Liu Fang and began to greet these relatives and friends again.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, most of the people who could come over rushed over, and some did not arrive and were not ready to wait for them. Zeng Renmin hurriedly took out firecrackers and put them on, and a group of people moved outside the store.

At 10:18, it was auspicious. The firecrackers were skillfully set off this time, from 17 to 18 points. After the cannon is finished, it will be hung red, and the salute will be completed.

The store belongs to his parents, and Zeng Hao just gave advice on how to get it from his parents, and he would not interfere, just like this time Liu Feng was distressed about money and did not give red envelopes to the clerk.

And when Zeng Hao opened his first store to hold a ceremony, there was also a conflict, this time he was out of sight and out of mind, and he simply saved the red envelopes of relatives and friends. The only thing that needs to be received is the children who come, and everyone will be given a small red envelope under the dinner table at that time, and each red envelope will have 10 yuan in it.

I don't know if it was due diligence or other reasons, this time Zeng Renmin opened a store, and Yu Xiangnan, who was the regional manager, came to stand guard in person. After this ceremony, he found Zeng Hao and asked for his farewell.

Zeng Hao knew that although he had a reason for sending money, this time Yu Xiangnan personally came to stand guard on behalf of Yichun Company, and he did his best to help promote this matter at the beginning.

Hold a few words, and seeing that Yu Xiangnan insisted on leaving, he didn't say too much, took out a card from his wallet, handed it to Yu Xiangnan, and said: "Thank you Manager Yu for this time, I will trouble you more time in the future." Please be sure to accept this card, firstly, to thank Manager Yu for his help, and secondly, to ask Manager Yu to help more in the future.

There are one and two, last time Yu Xiangnan had already received Zeng Hao's money, and this time it would be contrived to refuse, seeing Zeng Hao handing over the bank card, he took it happily and quickly put it into his handbag.

Sending Yu Xiangnan away, Zeng Hao returned to the store and said to his parents: "Parents, the ceremony is also completed, or invite relatives and friends to go directly to the hotel, after all, this is a place to sell clothes, and there are so many people around all the time, and others will be scared to affect the traffic when they see it." ”

When Zeng Renmin and his wife heard what their son said, they also felt that it made sense, so they beckoned the people who came, and Zeng Renmin led them to the hotel arranged by Zeng Hao. It's still early, you can drink tea first, and if you like to play mahjong and poker, you can kill time. After waiting for a while, Liu Feng finished arranging things in the store and rushed over.
