Bicycles are considered a primary luxury in this era, and riding a 28 bicycle through the streets and alleys requires more wind and more wind.

Xu Zhinian sat on the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Brother, let's go to our shop to have a look." ”

Xu Zhiqiu was speechless, how could there be any shop? Now that almost half of the money in their pockets had been spent, they couldn't rent a shop, and they didn't know how to explain to their parents.

Coming to the door of Xiangyang Grain and Oil Store, Xu Zhiqiu stopped the car, looked towards the door, and then subconsciously took two steps back.

He saw his sweetheart Li Qinglan - at this time, Li Qinglan was warmly entertaining a customer, smiling, and her eyes were as beautiful as a crescent moon.

Xu Zhinian understood why his brother liked Li Qinglan, she is the kind of woman who is warm and comfortable at first glance, there is no aggression in her body, although she is not a country and a city, but she is very affinity.

"Brother, what do you think of this shop?"

"Baoya, don't make trouble, this is someone's grain and oil store. ”

"Yes, what I let you see is this grain and oil store, you say, what's wrong with this store?"

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "I can't see it, I can look anywhere." ”

"Familiar people came over, knowing that this store is called Xiangyang Grain and Oil Store, if it is the first time to pass by here, if you don't take a closer look, you don't know what this store is for, you look at this signboard. Xu Zhinian raised his wrist and pointed to the plaque on the door.

This plaque is a simple thin wooden board with a few words written on it in red paint, because the red paint has long since fallen off after being used for too long.

Xu Zhiqiu was staring straight at the plaque, and Xu Zhinian suddenly slapped him with his elbow.

"Brother, your fiancée is watching you. ”

Xu Zhiqiu's face turned red suddenly, his gaze swept over Li Qinglan, and he quickly took it back, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a word of eight words." ”

And Li Qinglan, who was on the other side, also quickly took her eyes back, hung her head, and looked at the bags of grain in front of her.

Xu Zhinian knew when he looked at her eyes - there was a play!

My brother's outfit is carefully built by her, can such a handsome guy walk on the street without shaking his eyes?

In particular, people nowadays don't pay attention to dressing up, and the streets are full of crooked melons and cracked dates, and my brother is like the reddest, biggest and most delicious apple in the sun, and it is impossible to be ignored by the opposite sex.

Sure enough, Li Qinglan was not the only one who found her brother, but the salesperson hired by her store also discovered Xu Zhiqiu, walked out of the house quickly, and asked with a smile: "Comrade, what do you want to buy?

Xu Zhiqiu's face became a little embarrassed - the person who introduced him before was this salesman, named Yu Liyan, and the two had met under the big tree opposite for a few minutes and said a few words.

At that time, Yu Liyan was unhappy when she heard about his family conditions, and she also gave Xu Jingdong a cold beating, saying that they were not in the right household and wanted to climb the high branches in the city.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Zhiqiu changed her clothes, and she couldn't recognize it.

Xu Zhinian grabbed her brother's wrist, bypassed Yu Liyan, and completely hung her there.

She brought her brother to Li Qinglan, Li Qinglan lowered her head and said, "What do you two need?"

"Sister, we're not here to buy something, we want to discuss something with you. ”

When Yu Liyan heard this, she was anxious, and came over and said, "What's the matter, tell me, I'd better discuss it." ”

"Auntie, you're not the boss, it's useless to talk to you. ”

Xu Zhinian looked innocent, and then used the word aunt to hit Yu Liyan so hard that she almost died on the spot.

"I'm only twenty-seven!" Yu Liyan wanted to scold, but seeing Xu Zhiqiu present, she couldn't help it, and turned around and entered the store.

"What's the matter, you say. Li Qinglan took a deep breath before looking at Xu Zhiqiu, and after the two looked at each other, they quickly staggered their gazes.

"Sister, my brother is a carpenter, his carpentry work is the best in our area, just now he passed by here, and saw that the plaque of your house is not good, so he wanted to help you make a plaque. ”

"My family serves all regular customers, and it doesn't matter what the plaque looks like. ”

"That's not right, sister, people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, as long as they open the door to do business, they have to look decent, the first thing the guests see is the plaque, the plaque is not good, and the things sold in it will also make people doubt the quality, this is like a big beauty wearing patched clothes and walking around the street. ”

Li Qinglan was amused by her.

"Then if you have to do it for us, you can talk to my dad. ”

After speaking, she called out to her father in the house, and after a while, Li Xiangyang, the owner of the grain and oil store, walked out.

Xu Zhinian repeated the intention, Li Xiangyang looked Xu Zhiqiu up and down several times, saw that he was dressed cleanly and upright, and his first impression was already good, and then he was riding a 28 bicycle, guessing that he should not be a newcomer to the hairy boy, at least he had to have some experience to afford a bicycle, so he asked: "How much does it cost to make a plaque?"

Xu Zhiqiu was about to quote according to Carpenter Ding's usual market, but was stopped by his sister.

"Uncle, don't want money. Xu Zhinian smiled like a flower.

Seeing the father and daughter on the other side, they were very surprised, and continued: "My brother not only made a plaque for you for free, but also made a shelf for you, you see, when my sister sells grain at the door, she always has to bend down to pack bags, and these grains are also very damp on the ground, and there must be a lot of losses throughout the year, right? ”

"Shelves? really, then...... It doesn't cost money, too?"

"Yes, no money, but we have a small request. ”

Xu Zhinian pointed to a vacant lot under the window and said, "If you don't use this place, can you lend it to my brother for a month?" Let him set up a carpenter's stall here to attract some customers. ”

"That's it...... This condition?" Li Xiangyang and Li Qinglan glanced at each other, both feeling incredulous.

It's just a place, the front of their shop is very spacious, and it is not a problem to set up ten tables, Xu Zhinian only wants to borrow a small piece of it, and it only takes a month.

How can a set of plaques and shelves cost 100 yuan, and this place is empty, who doesn't agree to this deal? Isn't that stupid?

Xu Zhiqiu looked at his sister worriedly-what kind of operation is this?

Why does his sister's calculations make him scratch his head every time, is he too stupid or his sister too smart?

Xu Zhinian didn't explain to him, but only asked Li Xiangyang if he was willing.

Li Xiangyang hesitated for a moment but agreed-after all, the two of them looked honest and decent, not like some bad people.
