Chapter 279: Auntie and the Lively Lottery
After having dinner at Wangkelai, Li Liang sent Chenchen and Wang Chao home, and when he returned home, his parents were already busy in the supermarket on the first floor. Busy in the store with his parents are Li Liang's aunt Wang Xiuyan and a man in his fifties.
Today's daytime goods are basically sold out, Li Shuangzhu and his family have no leisure for a moment after dinner, and they began to move all kinds of goods from the warehouse on the first floor and stack them on the shelves.
"Liangzi, you're tired of a day today, go upstairs to take a shower and rest first, just have your aunt and Master Zhao to help here!" Li Shuangzhu saw that his son was back, so he said to Li Liang, he still carried a box of shampoo in his hand.
"It's okay, Dad, I'm not tired!" Li Liang took the initiative to take the shampoo from his father's hand, and took out bottles one by one and put them on the shelves.
"Liangzi, this is your Uncle Zhao!"
Li Shuangzhu handed a cigarette to Master Zhao, who was busy: "Brother Zhao, come, let's smoke a cigarette and rest!"
"Uncle Zhao is good!" Li Liang called out politely.
"Liangzi, do you remember Uncle Zhao?" asked Master Zhao with a smile as he took the cigarette.
Master Zhao is not tall, but he has a very strong body, his arms are full of muscles, and his hair is slightly pale. He was the senior brother of Li Liang's father, Li Shuangzhu, when he first entered the textile factory, and the two were following the same master at that time. The relationship between the two brothers is not bad, when Li Liang went to the factory to play when he was a child, Master Zhao often bought some snacks to eat.
"Remember, Uncle Zhao, you used to buy me food when you were a child!" Li Liang said with a smile.
"Haha!"
"Auntie, you and my mother should rest for a while!"
Li Liang's aunt Wang Xiuyan came out carrying a box of soap, tired and sweating, Li Liang hurried over to help lift it.
In the evening, when Wangke came to have dinner, Wang Xiulan and Chen Chunhua told Wang Xiuyan about the situation of the supermarket at home, and wanted Wang Xiuyan to come to the house to help for a while, and Wang Xiuyan agreed.
There are many waiters in Wangkelai, and Chen Run and Chen Li are both trusted nieces of Chen Chunhua.
"Liangzi, in the future, my aunt will eat and drink at your house, you won't dislike your aunt!" Wang Xiuyan said with a smile.
"Welcome, welcome!" Li Liang laughed, "Auntie, my mother has already asked you to come to live at my house, why don't you come?"
When Li Liang's family first moved, Wang Xiulan invited her sister to live at home, but Wang Xiuyan refused. Chen Chunhua rented a small courtyard to accommodate the workers of Wangkelai, and Wang Xiuyan got along with Chen Run and Chen Li sisters very happily there, so she didn't really want to come to her sister's house to live.
But now that I'm helping out at my sister's supermarket, it's easier to move here.
A few people took a short break, and then continued to get busy, and by the time the supermarket shelves were filled, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.
"Brother Zhao, go back early!" Li Shuangzhu sent Master Zhao out of the door.
"Shuangzhu, you don't have to send it, I'll come over early tomorrow!" Master Zhao said with a smile.
"Good work!"
Sending Master Zhao away, locking the door of the supermarket, Li Liang's family and his aunt Wang Xiuyan went upstairs.
"Xiuyan, you go take a shower first, this is your room!" Wang Xiulan specially prepared a clean bedroom for her sister.
There are many rooms at home, in addition to the three bedrooms occupied by their own house, there are also a few empty rooms, Wang Xiulan cleaned it cleanly, that is, she is preparing for her relatives to come over occasionally, so she can have a place to live.
Since moving to a new home, the rooms in the house are much more spacious. In the old yard, the Li family's housing was very tight, and the small room where Li Liang lived was later built by his father Li Shuangzhu outside the kitchen. When a guest comes to the house during the New Year's holiday, he has to sleep with them, which is extremely inconvenient.
Wang Xiuyan picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and Li Liang's family sat on the sofa in the living room.
It's so late, there is no TV show anymore, and they don't turn on the TV.
"Mom, did you ask your aunt to come over to help, do you want your aunt to come to help for a while or for a long time?" asked Li Liang.
"If your aunt is willing, of course I want to go for a long time!"
Wang Xiulan feels sorry for her sister, her sister is a little older than her daughter Li Meng, she lost her father when she was very young, Wang Xiulan watched her sister grow up, and naturally hoped that her sister could be by her side.
I didn't have such ability before, but now that the family has such conditions, Wang Xiulan hopes that her sister can follow her, whether it is life or salary, she will naturally not treat her sister badly.
Li Liang nodded, it should be like this.
"By the way, dad and mom, at dinner in the evening, Aunt Chunhua said that the house built by Uncle Qingxiang in Beimen Village is basically about to be built, why don't we take some time to go over and have a look?" Li Liang asked.
"Son, you don't have to worry about this, Dad will get off work early tomorrow and go over to take a look!" Li Shuangzhu smiled, "You are about to start school, take advantage of these few days, take advantage of the next few days, take care of your mother's business in the supermarket." By the way, your second uncle, do you want to take the time to take a look these days?"
Li Shuangzhu suddenly remembered that his younger brother Erzhuo had been in charge of kiwifruit planting for a period of time, and during this time, the family was busy decorating the storefront, and he didn't bother to ask.
Li Liang smiled and said: "Dad, I'll take the time to go in a few days! But don't worry, I don't think there is any problem, otherwise the second uncle and the county will definitely come to the house to ask us." ”
"Oh, yes! I didn't react at once. ”
Li Shuangzhu understood that the kiwifruit planting was first proposed by his son Li Liang, and if there was really any problem, the county and his younger brother Erzhu would definitely come back to the house to ask.
Since I didn't come to the house, it means that there is no problem with kiwifruit planting.
After the family took a shower one after another, Wang Xiulan threw her clothes into the washing machine and started it, and then they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
Wang Xiuyan lay quietly on the new bed made by her sister, and it was difficult to fall asleep for a long time.
In the past year, she has lived a very happy life, and sometimes it feels like she is in a dream.
After graduating from junior high school, she was not admitted to technical secondary school and high school, and followed her mother and several older brothers to work as a farmer at home. At that time, she was really confused!
She has grown up well since she was a child, and after graduating from junior high school, she has never stopped coming to the house to propose marriage. But somehow, no matter who came to the house to propose marriage, whether the conditions at home were good or bad, whether the boy was good or ugly, whether he knew whether he knew whether he was sensible, she had never been tempted.
Wang Xiuyan always felt unwilling in her heart, unwilling to be like her mother, brother and sister-in-law, and live in the countryside all her life. Since she was a child, she was very envious of her eldest sister's family, and the eldest sister, like herself, also graduated from junior high school. However, the eldest sister was very lucky, not long after graduating from junior high school, she caught up with the construction of a textile factory in the county, and a group of young workers with a certain education were needed.
My sister Wang Xiulan was lucky to pass the assessment of the textile factory and became a glorious national worker serving an iron rice bowl. Later, I also found a husband who was a good person and had a good temper. Since she was a child, her sister Wang Xiulan has been her role model.
However, my luck was not so good. After graduating from junior high school, she could only follow her mother and sister-in-law to farm in the countryside. At that time, she watched the neighbors who grew up with her marrying wives and marrying others, her heart was terrified, and she was really afraid that one day she would be like them.
The turning point came in the middle of last year, when his nephew Li Liang came to play at home and asked if he wanted to work in a private restaurant opened by his family, and his salary was more than 20 yuan.
At that time, she was overjoyed, with a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, she grew so big, and the pocket money in her pocket never exceeded 2 yuan.
After arriving in the west of the city, she followed Chen Chunhua conscientiously and was willing to work hard to do anything, so soon, she won Chen Chunhua's trust, she crossed Chen Run, Chen Li and other sisters, and directly became the most important cashier in the store.
After arriving in the county seat, her life was more comfortable. The new store in the city is opposite the department store, and in the afternoon, when she is busy with the things in the store, she often goes to the department store with Chen Run and Chen Li sisters.
If such a day had been placed in the past, she really couldn't have imagined it. Her salary is basically spent by herself, and every time she wants to give her mother money, her mother will not take it. Mother always said that she had no father when she was a child, and she had suffered a lot since she was a child, and the money given by her brothers and sisters was enough, so she saved her money for herself and kept it for marriage in the future.
Li Liang's Dazhong Huimin Supermarket has a good business, since the trial operation, the business has maintained a hot trend, fortunately, with the addition of Master Zhao and Aunt Wang Xiuyan, the store is not so busy.
Wang Chao and other friends distributed leaflets for four days, not only distributed 20,000 leaflets, but also posted posters in conspicuous locations such as streets and villages around the county seat. People in the county seat and several towns around the county basically know about the Li family's supermarket.
Many people who enter the city used to have to run to the department store to buy things, but now after getting off the bus station, many people go directly to the nearby Dazhong Huimin supermarket to shop.
Especially on the day of the lottery at 8 o'clock in the morning on the 29th, not only the supermarket was full of people, but even the outside of the store and the road were all tightly blocked. The spacious Jiefang Street, in the section of the Li family supermarket, has been blocked and there is no way to pass it.
The reason for this is because Li Liang and his parents saw that the business was very good in the past few days of the trial operation, not only did the first 5,000 lottery tickets printed be distributed, but they also used the lottery tickets that were originally expected to be used for the second and third day of the lottery. So after discussion, the Li family temporarily decided to increase the number of lottery places on the first day, and set the prizes on the first day as two bicycles and a black and white TV. Color TV, as the ultimate prize, is still ready to be placed in the last draw on the tenth day.
The prize on the first day went from one bike to two bikes and a black-and-white TV set, and the news sent families with tickets crazy.
There are even many people who temporarily ask for leave from the unit, specifically to see the scene of the lottery, on the one hand to see if the lottery is real, and on the other hand, to see if they can be so lucky to win the lottery.
On this day on the 29th, the police station was alarmed.
The police at the Chengguan Police Station received a report early in the morning that there were already people everywhere near the newly opened Dazhong Huimin Supermarket on Jiefang Street West Road. The person who called the police told the police to go and maintain order, otherwise there might be chaos.
The police officers who led the team didn't eat breakfast, and hurried to the outside of the Dazhong Huimin supermarket, which was already full of people.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd!" the police began to maintain order.
To be honest, the lively scene outside really frightened Li Liang and Wang Xiulan, mother and son.
I am a businessman seeking money, but don't make any trouble because of the lottery!
At eight o'clock, Li Liang jumped onto a table outside the store with the lottery box in his arms.
Standing on the table, Li Liang looked at the dense crowd of people under the stage, all kinds, there were men, women, adults, children, and all eyes were focused on the lottery box in his hand.
Aunt Wang Xiuyan handed Li Liang a self-made horn made of paper shell.
Li Liang held the lottery box in one hand and the aunt's self-made loudspeaker in the other.
"Dear folks, thank you for your support to our Dazhong Huimin Supermarket. Please keep your lottery tickets, and later, I will immediately select a person to come to the stage, and draw the first prize for everyone, the first award is a new black and white TV set of Ganxin.
Does anyone want to come up and smoke, and whoever wants to raise your hand and let me see!"
Li Liang's words mobilized all the emotions of the audience who were waiting to watch the lottery.
People threw up their hands and wanted to be the first to do the lottery.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
"Pick me, choose me!"
"Big brother, I want to come to the lottery!"
With the throbbing of the crowd, the crowd that had been kept stable by the police at the police station showed signs of instability again, and the horses who were in a hurry to lead the team were very brave.
Ma Yong is also an old acquaintance of Li Liang, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he followed the criminal investigation captain Dong Chengda to solve the Xiuxiu case, and he was very impressed by Li Liang at that time.
Later, Li Liang saw two young men from the industrial and commercial office on the street asking an old man who was selling sesame cakes to take a card, but was stopped by Ma Yong, who was passing by. Later, during the high school entrance examination, Li Liang was threatened by Zhong Hua at the next table, and he also met Ma Yong at that time, which was really a coincidence.
After Dong Chengda became deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, he transferred Ma Yong from the criminal investigation team to the Chengguan Town Police Station and became the deputy director.
A while ago, Dong Chengda was responsible for the safety of Mr. Yang and participated in the reception of Mr. Yang. At that time, Dong Chengda chatted with Ma Yong about Li Liang's situation, and secretly mentioned Ma Yong, asking him to pay attention to the situation of Li Liang's family, and try to take care of it if he can. It's only good for him, and it doesn't hurt.
