Chapter Eighty-Eight: Hot Retail
It's past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and after busy with the noon guests, Wang Xiuyan has just finished eating with the rest of the store.
"Auntie, look who's coming!"
She was resting in the store after eating, and heard the shouts of her nephew Li Liang on the road from a distance, and when she opened her eyes, her nephew Li Liang walked over from a distance with her mother. She hurriedly got up and walked out of the store, stopped her mother's hand and said, "Mom, when did you get to the city?"
Li Liang's grandmother looked at her daughter carefully and said, "I just arrived, and I rested at your sister's house for a while!"
She took her mother's hand and entered the store, after lunch, everyone in the restaurant was resting, Chen Chunhua didn't come today, Chen Run, Chen Li's sisters and other people in the store saw Wang Xiuyan's mother come in, and they were busy greeting and shouting people.
"That's great!"
Li Liang's grandmother looked around the restaurant, the neat tables and chairs, the menu hanging on the wall, the wine vat behind the counter, and the ingredients in the back kitchen were all placed in an orderly manner.
And when he saw himself entering the store, the guys in the store greeted him warmly, and he could see that his little daughter had been trained with Chen Chunhua during this time, and her speech and behavior were very different from before, she was full of refreshment, and she also got along well with her colleagues.
In this way, among the six children, three sons have already started a family, and the first two daughters are also married, leaving only the youngest daughter, who was worried that she would be too hard to stay in the countryside to farm. Unexpectedly, the eldest daughter's family co-opened a restaurant and let the younger daughter come here to work. I hope that my little daughter will find a mother-in-law in the county town and completely get rid of the farmland!
"Xiuyan, can you walk away at night? Come to your sister's house for dinner in the evening!" said Li Liang's grandmother.
"I may not be able to leave, Sister-in-law Chunhua didn't come to the store this year, I have to stay in the store!" Wang Xiuyan said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's important in the store. Li Liang's grandmother said busily.
The two sat in the store for a while, and Li Liang went home with his grandmother. Along the way, the old man seemed happy.
"Liangzi, how is your brother-in-law's business doing during this time?" Li Liang's grandmother entered the city in the afternoon, and she didn't know where her son's shop was located, and she arrived at her eldest daughter's house first.
"It's not bad, my uncle has rented a small courtyard by himself now, and he is going to go back to the village to build a house in the next year!" Li Liang said.
Uncle Wang Fagen made 7 or 80,000 yuan from the New Year's painting business, but he didn't dare to tell his grandmother about this number, for fear of scaring her, the current 10,000 yuan households are too expensive, and there may not be a few households in the entire Hek County.
"Ready to go back to the village to build a house?"
The old man was happy, he had suffered all his life, in addition to marrying his two eldest sons Zhang Luo, when the younger son got married, he could no longer find money, so he had to wronged the two of them to live in an old adobe house with him. Now that I have been doing business in the city for a few months, I can save money to build a house, which is really not easy.
"Ryoko, take your grandmother to your uncle's store to have a look!"
"Okay. ”
Wang Fagen and Liu Juying have very few rented shops, only about ten square meters. Although the previously recruited salesmen have all finished their sales business and gone home for the New Year, the retail business is the best time to approach the end of the year. The two of them were busy from morning to night, and there was an endless stream of people who came to buy New Year's paintings, Spring Festival couplets and fireworks.
"Boss, give me two pictures of the child!"
"Boss, wrap this Spring Festival couplet for me!"
"Boss, two more strings of 500 firecrackers. ”
The two of them were busy collecting money and delivering goods.
"Uncle, aunt, who do you think is here?"
Wang Fagen was giving a New Year's picture to a customer, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly shouted: "Mom, you come in and sit down for a while, and wait for us to finish this meeting." ”
The sun is just right this afternoon, and many people who are reluctant to go out in the morning because the weather is too cold take advantage of the good weather in the afternoon to come out to buy New Year's goods.
Li Liang helped his grandmother into the store and found two stools to sit down. The shop rented by my uncle is not big, and there are several large boxes of firecrackers and New Year's pictures piled up inside.
Wang Fagen and his wife put a bamboo pole on the gate, and samples of New Year's paintings and Spring Festival couplets were hung on it. A stall was set up in front of the door, and a small number of goods were placed on the stall, and those who fancied the samples could buy directly in front of the stall, and the rest of the stock was piled up in the house, and when the goods on the stall were sold out, they were moved out of the house. Liu Juying collected the money, Wang Fagen gave the goods, and the two cooperated perfectly.
"Ryoko, it seems that your uncle's business in this shop is good!" said Grandma with a smile.
"Yes, Grandma. Now that my uncle and his family have made money, you don't have to be so tired at home. It's good to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens to eat yourself, and don't raise pigs next year. Li Liang took the opportunity to say.
My grandmother can't be idle, so it's sure to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks, but raising pigs is too tiring. Now feeding pigs is basically with rice bran and can't eat the vegetable leaves, the pigweed cut outside, etc., pigs can not eat raw food directly, these things must be boiled on the big stove at home to give pigs to eat, three meals a day, more tired than serving people.
"Grandma can still move now, and she must feed a pig, how can she earn some pocket money in a year. You can't open your mouth to your uncles in everything. Liangzi, you are still young, you don't understand. Grandma touched Li Liang's head and said with a smile.
In fact, Li Liang understands that it is difficult for the elderly in the countryside, they are not like city people with retirement salaries. As long as the elderly in the countryside are not too old to move, they will generally grow some grain and vegetables, raise some pigs, chickens, ducks and other poultry, and if they want to open their mouths to their sons, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is often not good. Li Liang's grandmother married her three sons one after another, and she was clear about these family affairs.
Li Liang didn't want to say anything more, he was going to talk to his mother, and in the future, he would privately stuff more living expenses for his grandmother and grandparents. After the accident of my sister Li Meng in her previous life, my mother retired early to take care of my sister at home; I went to study in the local secondary school, and after graduation, I taught in the township, and I didn't take much care of my grandmother and grandparents. Now that the family has the conditions, they can't treat these relatives who are good to them badly.
By four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was slowly weakening, the temperature began to drop, and the number of customers in the store gradually decreased. Wang Fagen and his family were free, Liu Juying poured a cup of hot water for her mother-in-law from the kettle, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mom, drink water!"
Li Liang's grandmother took the water and asked with concern: "Yingzi, why is your throat bad, my mother will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy you some chrysanthemums and fat seas, you remember to make tea and drink!"
"Business has been very good these days, and my throat is busy smoking. ”
"Yingzi, when are you going to go back for the New Year?"
"Mom, I'm going to discuss with Fa Gen and I'm going to go back on the twenty-nineth! The business in the store was good a year ago, and no one will buy these things after the New Year!" Liu Juying said.
