Chapter Ninety-Two: Picking Thorns
Li Liang told his father Li Shuangzhu about his thoughts, and Li Shuangzhu also agreed with the second idea.
However, Li Shuangzhi was a little worried: "Liangzi, there are more than 700 square meters on the first floor, and the shops will be built by then, I don't know if I can rent them out. ”
This Li Liang is not worried, he has seen the development of Hek County in his previous life, and the shopping mall of more than 700 square meters is nothing at all.
A few years later, a new Avenue of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers was built in the county seat of He, and a new market was built on the Avenue of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, with more than 5,000 square meters of places to sell vegetables on the first floor, and more than 5,000 square meters of places to sell clothes on the second floor.
It was only with the completion of the Workers' Peasants' and Soldiers' Avenue that the old county party committee, county government and other government departments moved away from the current Jiefang Avenue. Jiefang Avenue has slowly declined, but this decline is only relative to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Avenue, as an old street, the passenger flow here is still thriving.
The father and son talked, and gradually Li Shuangzhu snored, and Li Liang slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Liang got up, got dressed and washed. Li Shuangzhu rekindled the brazier in the living room, the charcoal burned silently, but the warmth spread little by little in the living room. Mother Wang Xiulan bought back buns, fritters and hot soy milk from the market, and the family sat together and ate breakfast beautifully.
He parked his bicycle, lifted the plastic curtain covering the living room and came in, took off his gloves with both hands and rubbed his ears, and said with a sigh in his mouth: "Liangzi, it's too cold today, and there is frost hanging outside in the morning, or let's not go today, uncle is afraid that you will catch a cold wind." ”
Since the beginning of winter, the weather has been getting colder and colder. Since the opening of the main store of Wangkelai, Li Liang has not returned to a branch of the cement factory, and Zhang Meng, who is in charge of a branch, has come back less recently, even if there is no today's matter, Li Liang has long wanted to take the time to take a look.
"Uncle, it's okay, what are you afraid of this cold, I'll wear it later, and then wrap it tightly with a scarf, my sister has knitted several scarves for me, and you can take one later!" Li Liang said.
Sister Li Meng is ingenious, and when she is fine, she will knit sweaters and scarves for her family, and the sweater worn by Li Liang is knitted by her sister Li Meng.
"Liangzi, my sister has knitted a few more during this time, it's useless to put it at home anyway, you can bring one to Zhang Meng later. Li Meng said on the side.
Li Liang remembered what his mother had told him two days ago, and he looked up at his sister. Li Meng saw his younger brother looking at him, and said a little embarrassedly: "What do you see, Zhang Meng is not your eldest brother, stinky boy, my sister still doesn't appreciate it for you!"
Sister Li Meng is thin-skinned, girl, understand. Li Liang was a person from the past in his previous life, and he had a good relationship with Chenchen in this life, he smiled and didn't speak.
Before leaving, Li Liang was tightly wrapped, wearing a thick military coat, and wrapped his head with a scarf, leaving only the position of his eyes, and Wang Fagen was about the same.
The two first bought two Hongtashan at the store department of the county supply and marketing cooperative, and then bought two bottles of Moutai. Now Moutai is really cheap, a bottle is only eight yuan and five cents. However, the cheapness in Li Liang's eyes is not cheap at all in the eyes of the salesman of the supply and marketing cooperative, and now in Hek County, there are very few gifts to Moutai, most of them are given to Site Laojiao, this wine is delicious, and the price is a lot cheaper.
These are ready to be given to Song Liangren, find someone to do things, and give enough things, so that people can't suffer. Moreover, there is no steel bar in the cement factory, which requires Song Liangren's help to go to the Material Bureau to operate.
After buying these things, Li Liang bought three red plum cigarettes, canned food, biscuits, candies and other New Year's goods, which were intended to be given to Zhang Meng's grandparents and two uncles, Chen Huahan and Chen Huatang. After Li Liang and Chenchen got married in their previous lives, the two old men and their uncles were very good to the two of them, and every time they went to visit, they were very enthusiastic.
Li Liang sold a lot of things, and the salesman's attitude was very good, so he took the initiative to find a box for Li Liang to pack.
Buying good things, Wang Fagen rode a bicycle and faced the cold north wind. Li Liang sat on the back seat of the bicycle, shrunk up, and the scarf woven by his sister was very warm. It's just that the gloves that are also knitted with wool will not work, and the hand holding the box will soon freeze.
For a distance of three or four kilometers, Wang Fagen rode for more than half an hour. Wang Fagen rode down the auxiliary bridge next to the overpass, and in the distance, Li Liang heard the bustling sound in the distance.
After a few months, many wooden sheds have been erected on both sides of the road from the entrance of the cement factory to the branch of Wangkelai, and there are stalls selling vegetables, sweet potatoes, rice, rice, handicrafts, and fried orchid roots on both sides of the road. By the time we arrived at the two rows of shops where the Wangkelai branch was located, there were more people buying and selling.
Wang Fagen and Li Liang got out of the car, Wang Fagen pushed the car, and Li Liang put the box he was holding on the back seat of the bicycle and held it behind. Passing past the crowd in front of Wangkelai's store, Li Liang entered the store with a suitcase.
"Liangzi, why are you here?" Zhang Meng was lying on the counter writing something, and when he heard the sound of someone entering the store, he saw that it was Li Liang and said in surprise.
"Brother Meng, I'll come to see you. How's it going, business isn't bad, right?" asked Li Liang with a smile.
"Yes, the business is better when the Chinese New Year is approaching, but it is still not as good as the business of my mother's head office. Zhang Meng said with a smile.
Wang Xiuyan, Chen Run, and Chen Li followed Chen Chunhua to the main store in the city, and now the people in the store were all recruited from the surrounding villages later, and Li Liang was not very familiar with them. Li Liang took a turn inside and outside the store, and it could be seen that Zhang Meng's management was not bad, and now a few waiters were washing vegetables by the well at the entrance of the store, and a few cooks and handymen were cutting vegetables in the back kitchen, and no one was lazy.
Wang Fagen locked the bicycle and entered the house, Zhang Meng took the initiative to greet him: "Uncle." "He called it after Li Liang.
Zhang Meng poured two cups of hot tea for Wang Fagen and Li Liang, and said with a smile: "Liangzi, how is it, my brother, the owner of the shop, is not bad." ”
Li Liang had already turned around, nodded and said, "It's okay!"
"Is it okay?" Zhang Meng said with a smile, "Then you can point me out what else is not to be done." ”
Zhang Meng has studied with his mother Chen Chunhua for a few months, and now he has been managing a branch alone for more than two months, and he is a little unconvinced by Li Liang's okay evaluation. Among his classmates, except for a few or two who were admitted to the university and a few repeated, the rest of the classmates either entered the factory or unit as a soldier or went home to work as a farmer.
