Chapter 020: Opening on the first day
"This ...... A woman with two children, we can sometimes help, let's help, they all open stores here, and it's not that peers want to compete. ”
Xi'er knows Aunt Li's personality well, knows that she has some power, and her heart is not bad, so she can still chat with her when she is free.
When Xi'er saw that they were idle, she walked in and said, "Wow! You are so capable, it's only been one day, and there have been so many changes here." ”
Xu Ning saw Xi'er for the second time, her face was round, her eyes were squinted when she smiled, and her voice was crisp, which made people feel good when they came into contact.
Li Xiumei replied politely with a smile: "I just moved here, I'm just busy." ”
Xi'er knew that what people said was modest, and looked at the woman who was still hesitating to come in outside, shook her head and said, "Sister Li, come in, I won't ask you to help with things, haha." ”
Aunt Li was seen through by her, so she had to walk in in a gloomy manner.
Although I don't like Li Xiumei, but I have already walked in, I will inevitably ask for some polite words: "Congratulations! I will put the store together in this day, but don't be like the previous ones, they have been open for less than three months-" Before she finished speaking, she was trampled by Xi'er.
Xi'er gave her a sneaky look with a sideways face, this woman, I really don't know what she thinks, people are just about to open, she wants to curse people to close the door, anyone who hears it will be angry and in a bad mood, but fortunately, she stopped her words in time.
Aunt Li also realized that what she said just now seemed to be a little inappropriate, and said with a wry smile: "We will be neighbors in the future, if you want to eat early, you can go to my house to buy it." ”
Li Xiumei also replied gently: "Yes, everyone will take care of each other more in the future." ”
"Hehe, just don't drag others down, after all, your store has just opened......" and it still can't be opened for a season.
Xu Ning watched them interact on the side, and really felt that her mother was a person who was easy to get along with, and ordinary people would be ridiculed like this, and they would definitely feel a little uncomfortable, but Xu Ning knew that her mother would not take it to heart, this Aunt Li had some power, and she didn't know what kind of person she was if she hadn't gotten along yet, but if she was a neighbor, she really shouldn't be offended, and she didn't see anyone who looked up, plus their family had just arrived, and they would know which one was good for her family after they got along slowly.
If the family is not good, she will embarrass her mother, she will not stand idly by and let her mother be bullied, and no one can bully their family here.
After the two left, the smile on Xu Ning's face was withdrawn.
"Sister, I don't like the pillar's mother. ”
The stone squatted on the ground and tapped the leaves of the flower pot in front of him with his hand, the person was small but still able to feel it, yesterday he played with the pillar, his mother called the pillar home and told the pillar not to play with him in the future.
Xu Ning also squatted his head, touched his head, and then sighed softly: "It's normal, no matter what business was done here, it didn't take long to close, and it was good if people didn't taunt us obviously...... And we are just tenants, they have a house here, we can't compare, and when our business is done well, we will buy this house, and others will not laugh at us.
"A-Ning, do you think our business can be done?" Li Xiumei looked at the arranged store, a little uncertain.
"Mom, try it, if you can't do it, we'll change to sell something else, as long as people are diligent and don't have a reason to live. ”
"This ...... No matter what, you have to put the business in order. I have spent a lot of money today, and we have all our savings, if we lose money, where will you go to get your tuition fees in the future!" Li Xiumei shook her head and said worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry. Let's try it first. ”
Xu Ning didn't care at all, it was a big deal to get a job again. Sometimes I really want to put a table at the door and set up a stall to tell fortunes for people, for fear that others will not believe her because of her young age.
The next day, Xu Ning picked an auspicious time, and the family was ready to open. And the day was not bad, Xu Ning also wrote a couplet early in the morning and posted it at the door, the couplet is: open the door and smile to welcome visitors from all over the world, and look up to accept the wealth of the four seas.
Li Xiumei set off a string of firecrackers at the door. On the first day of opening, firecrackers must be set off, which means that it is prosperous and lively.
He also prepared three animals, cakes, fruits, wine, lit incense and candles, and then Xu Ning burned incense and asked the gods to bless the town and take care of the store. The end of the worship ceremony symbolizes the official opening of their store.
When the neighbors heard that it was a widow with two children, they thought that it had just opened, and it was good for someone to come and see it, which would add popularity to the store.
In the past two years of reform and opening up, we have found that there has been a lot of development, and all walks of life have developed rapidly. The county has also changed a lot, and its minds are more open-minded than before. It's nothing for a woman to come out and open a shop, and it's a flower shop, a serious livelihood. Xu Ning feels that now is a good opportunity to make money, unlike in the 70s, when selling something was said to be speculative.
Li Xiumei prepared tea early in the morning and pastries for everyone to eat. The first day was lively, so that more people knew about their small shop and came to buy flowers in the future.
Xi'er was idle at this time, and when she saw that most of the guests were scattered, she hugged her daughter Tianniu and came over to join in the fun.
Li Xiumei also poured tea for them, and stuffed peanuts and candy into the pocket of the sweet girl, the little girl was only about three years old, and she was very happy to see something to eat.
The family is poor and doesn't have much money to entertain everyone, so Li Xiumei was a little unconfident when she entertained the guests just now, and maybe it was also the reason why she opened on the first day, she didn't receive so many people at once.
When Xi'er saw that she took so many things to her daughter, she knew that she was a generous and kind-hearted person, so she said: "Sister Li, you're busy, I didn't think you would open a flower shop, would you know how to arrange flowers and cultivate skills?"
"Yes, just a mouthful. She was telling the truth, she hadn't studied hard before, her father was great, and her ancestors used to be famous gardeners.
"Sister Li, it's not easy for you to raise two children by yourself. ”
"If you force it out, it will be good if the child grows up in the future. ”
"Hehe! Yes, the one in my family works in a restaurant, and if someone wants to buy flowers in the future, he will be introduced. ”
Xu Ning came over from the backyard and heard Xi'er say this, and said happily: "Then thank you, auntie, aunt is kind, no wonder the popularity is so good." ”
"You little girl is not bad, your mouth is very sweet, Sister Li has her, you don't have to worry about no business in this store. ”
Xi'er smiled and responded, she observed for two days, this family seems to be Xu Ning in charge, the family has been busy for the past two days, she is directing what to do, and even things like worshipping God before are also her.
"Aunt Xi'er, your family's business should be good, I see a lot of people going to your house. ”
"Business is okay, but I don't know what's going on this month, my family is sick one by one, many things are obviously very simple, but it's not going well to do it, I don't know what went wrong?"
"Sick, not going well?" Xu Ning touched her chin, it seemed that she was not wrong when she saw her black gas entanglement before.
