Ruan Ning has been opening the store for more than a month now, plus the previous stall, and she has earned more than 10,000 yuan. In the 80s, that amount was equivalent to about 2 million in the 21st century.

Originally, I wanted to repay the loan, but because the store was burned down and the building had to be built, the loan could only be repaid slowly. Fortunately, the coal truck is operating, and it is not difficult to make money.

However, Ruan Ning is not an idle person, and asked Zhou Shui in City C to mail her some clothes for early autumn. During the day, he set up a stall in the market to sell clothes, and at night he played with Ah Fu in the park and sold clothes at the same time, so that he could earn fifty or sixty yuan a day.

"Comrade Ruan Ning."

On this day, Ruan Ning was setting up a stall in the market, and suddenly someone called her. When I looked up, it was Wang Zhigao, the secretary of the county party committee, "Secretary Wang, it's you." Are you well? ”

"It's already good. Thank you. Wang Zhigao looked at Ruan Ning's dress, he must have knitted a straw hat, a white T-shirt, and a blue long skirt, giving people a pure, elegant and generous feeling.

For such a beautiful woman, setting up a stall on the street, probably many people will feel out of place, but now she has been emphasizing the need to change her thinking, so Wang Zhigao also told herself to improve her thinking, "I went to your store and asked, I found out that you were setting up a stall here." ”

"Yes, it will take a while for the building to be built, and I will have to earn a living allowance. By the way, Secretary Wang, what are you looking for me for? ”

"That's the case, other counties sent people to visit and exchange, and I want to ask you to assist in some work, talk about your entrepreneurial experience and some innovative and advanced ideas."

"Oh, this matter, Secretary Huo mentioned it. What time? ”

"People will arrive in a moment. Would you mind having them visit where you set up your stall? ”

"Of course I don't mind. There's no shame in setting up a stall, you just let them come. ”

Wang Zhigao admired Ruan Ning's atmosphere very much, and her reaction made the matter of setting up a stall, which was looked down upon by most people, become tall, "Then I'll bring them over later." ”

Ruan Ning nodded, "Okay." ”

About half an hour later, Wang Zhigao came with two men and a woman. There are quite a few stalls in the market now, and my aunt is not far away. After everyone got to know each other, those deputies also asked a lot of questions, and Ruan Ning answered them one by one.

One of the female comrades said with a look of admiration: "Comrade Ruan Ning, you spoke so well at the city congress. In our village, we specially organized everyone to watch it on TV. You're really amazing, and we all have to learn from you. ”

Ruan Ning said modestly: "You are too awarded, I am also from experience, it is my honor to be able to help everyone, but the main thing is that the cadres take the lead." ”

"I heard that you are the first person in the county to build a building. Moreover, you are still doing the coal transportation industry. ”

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

Ruan Ning answered them one by one, and everyone was very fascinated by what they listened to, and they also felt that they had benefited a lot. After chatting for a while, Wang Zhigao took the people away, as for what to do, Ruan Ning didn't care, her task had been completed.

At noon, a jeep pulled up in front of her stall. She took a closer look, wasn't this Secretary Huo's car?

"Comrade Ruan Ning, get in the car!" Wang Zhigao got out of the car and opened the rear door. Ruan Ning couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Where are you going?" Is there anything else I need to do? ”

Wang Zhigao said seriously: "I'm sorry for you in the morning, Secretary Huo said that there is a lunch talk meeting at noon, and I want to invite you to participate in it." ”

Ruan Ning almost laughed out loud, and she talked freely at lunch? It's a shame that he came up with it, in fact, it's just a meal together, chatting, and saying it so officially, "Okay, wait for me to clean up." ”

"I'll help you."

"You can lift it for me. There's my aunt over there, let her watch it for me first, and I'll come back in the afternoon. ”

"Okay."

The two of them carried the hanger to Sun Xiaohong together.

"Aunt, uncle, I have something to leave for a while, something will help you here first."

The aunt glanced at Wang Zhigao and asked curiously, "Who is this offspring?" ”

"He is Wang Zhigao, the secretary of the county party secretary. Something to do with me. ”

My aunt understood that this was a serious matter, and hurriedly said, "Then you can go quickly." Just put things here. ”

"Hmm. Aunt and uncle, I'm leaving. ”

Ruan Ning and Wang Zhigao came to the county party committee canteen. In addition to those three deputies, there are two other people I don't know, probably the leaders of the county party committee. They sat around a round table.

After the representatives sent by the three other counties greeted Ruan Ning warmly, Wang Zhigao also introduced the other two people, "Comrade Ruan Ning, this is our deputy secretary Xia, and this is the county magistrate Wu."

"Deputy Secretary Xia, County Magistrate Wu, hello." Ruan Ning greeted her politely, and the deputy secretary and the county magistrate also spoke to her very cordially, without any arrogance.

After chatting casually for a while, the deputy secretary said, "Alas, why hasn't Lao Huo come yet?" This guy usually rains in time, how can he become an old lady today. ”

"Who's talking bad about me behind my back?" A low and hearty voice sounded at the door, and everyone followed the reputation, but saw that it was Huo Wensen.

Several representatives and Ruan Ning were about to stand up, but Huo Wensen waved his hand, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late." All sit, all sit, you're welcome. ”

When everyone sat down, Huo Wensen sat next to Ruan Ning. There is a safe distance between people who don't know each other well, let alone the opposite sex. Ruan Ning and Huo Wensen are not familiar with each other, so she is a little uncomfortable being so close.

After lunch, the delegates went to the guest house to rest. Huo Wensen sent Ruan Ning out, "I heard Xiao Wang say that you are setting up a stall again now?" ”

"yes. Oh yes. Ruan Ning walked and suddenly paused, she took out a handkerchief from the coarse cloth bag she was carrying, "Give this back to you." ”

Huo Wensen saw that it was the handkerchief that he lent her to wipe her sweat last time, and the folded square was held between her white fingers, and he raised his sword eyebrows lightly, "You, always with you?" ”

"Coincidentally."

"How can there be any reason to return what has been used to others." Huo Wensen's eyes were serious, as if to say that she was an ignorant child, Ruan Ning's eyes widened, why did she keep a handkerchief? But he didn't answer, so she could only take the handkerchief in her palm in a curt.

"How beautiful the scenery of our Sanshan County is." Huo Wensen's words changed, his eyes looked at the green mountains in the distance, Ruan Ning nodded in agreement, "It's very beautiful, green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds, and a vast starry sky." ”

"But I'm going to say goodbye to this scenery for a while."

"Huh? Why? ”

"Go to a field to study for a while. When I get back, your building should have been built. ”

It turned out that he was going to study in other places, "It's been so long?" After Ruan Ning finished speaking, she felt that her words were a little ambiguous, and hurriedly explained, "I also want to ask you to cut the ribbon when the building opens." ”

This increases visibility and influence.

Huo Wensen said very cautiously: "You are the first individual in our county to open a commercial building, the county party committee attaches great importance to it, and I will arrange the opening ceremony." ”

"Then thank you Secretary Huo, you can send it here, I'll just go back by myself." Good bye. Ruan Ning waved her hand lightly and turned around, and hurried away.

Time passed day by day.

When the building was halfway built, Ruan Ning began to post advertisements for investment. The model follows the supermarket, with daily necessities on the first floor, clothing on the second floor, and a cinema on the third floor. Although the building area was not large, it was quite large at the time.

As soon as the advertisement went out, many people came to consult. In less than a month, the merchants were full. In October, the building was completed and renovated. Merchants began to settle in.

On the day of opening, the entrance of the commercial mall was full of lights, and there were crowds of people. The county party committee's car and a TV station car also drove to the door. Ruan Ning went with her family to greet her, but saw Huo Wensen get out of the car first, followed by the deputy secretary and the county magistrate.

He went to study and came back!

Everyone greeted warmly, and the secretary Wang Zhigao and another young man carried down a plaque from the car, and Huo Wensen said with a smile: "I wish you great success and prosperity." ”

"Thank you." Ruan Ning thanked happily, and Wang Zhigao said: "Comrade Ruan Ning, this is Secretary Huo's own inscription. ”

"Fuyuan Commercial Building." This is exactly the name she wants to give, before she wanted to hang the store sign, but the people in the county party committee said that someone would send it, so she waited, it turned out to be Huo Wensen's own inscription, she hurriedly said to Aimin and the army, "Love the people, the army, hang the signboard!" ”

"Okay!"

The army and the people of love hung the sign high. Aili and her mother pulled open the red silk, and Ruan Ning held a tray with three scissors to the three leaders, "Please ask the three big leaders to cut the ribbon for Fuyuan Commercial Building!" Please! ”

Huo Wensen and the other two leaders picked up the scissors and stood in the corresponding positions, Aimin lit a cannon, and after a deafening sound, the three leaders also cut the ribbon.

For a time, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers rang out, and applause rose and fell. A TV reporter who came from the city recorded the whole process and interviewed Ruan Ning.

Ruan Ning is wearing an embroidered red cheongsam, exuding a unique classical beauty, very photogenic, people who don't know still think she is a star.

Among the onlookers, there were people from Ruan Ning's village to watch the excitement. After going back, the news of how Ruan Ning's commercial building was grandly opened spread.

"Do you know, Ruan Xiaomei is amazing, the three-story commercial building opened today, and the secretary and deputy secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate went to support it in person."

"Really? This Ruan Xiaomei used to be weak and weak, but now she really has a different way of living. ”

"Yes, yes, I went in and shopped, there was really everything in it, and there was a movie theater, which was more complete than our department store."

"Yes, yes. If you want to say that this Ruan Xiaomei is really capable, you see, now her aunt's family has also made a fortune with her. I also saw that there was a TV station interviewing there, and it is estimated that Ruan Xiaomei will be on TV again. ”

"Let's go to the village chief's house to watch TV that night."

"To say that this old Gao family is also unlucky. Such a good daughter-in-law was stunned and divorced. ”

"That's it."

Sun Haitang sat listlessly in the shade of a tree in the courtyard, her mind full of her son Xiaobao, who was not far from their village, and could still hear the sound of firecrackers.

"Daddy, what time is it today?"

"What are you doing?"

"When will my son come out, I miss him."

"It's early."

"Is there any happy event in the city, how can I hear the sound of cannons."

"I heard that Ruan Xiaomei's new store has opened."

When Sun Haitang heard this, he hit the trunk with the back of his head and muttered painfully: "What am I doing?" Why did you fight with her in the first place, now, she is getting richer and richer, and I ...... I even tossed my son in, I want my son, I want my son! ”

"Okay, I knew why I had to do it today. If your son follows you, he won't be able to learn well. If you are young, you will set fire to the house, and when you grow up, you can pay it back? Being educated in it is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Sun Haitang was helpless and cried.

……

Chen Cuihua went to buy some food, and on the way back, she heard everyone talking about the opening of Ruan Xiaomei's new store, which seemed to be very remarkable.

Cut, she still doesn't believe how powerful it can be.

With a disdainful face, he came to Sun Haitang's house and said to Gao Tiezhu: "Zhuzi, go, accompany my mother into the city." ”

"What to do? I'm not going. Gao Tiezhu glanced at Chen Cuihua and continued to repair the hoe. Chen Cuihua twisted his ears, "What, when you grow up, you don't listen to your mother, do you?" Walk! ”

The high-speed rail column can only follow.

For the sake of speed, I borrowed the bicycle of the village chief's house. Twenty minutes or so came to Center Street. Seeing the crowd there, Chen Cuihua couldn't help but squeeze into the crowd.

She saw Ruan Ning.

She was wearing a red cheongsam and holding Ah Fu in a floral skirt in her arms. Around her were several well-dressed men and women, listening to them, as if shouting to the secretary and the county magistrate.

"Mother, isn't that Ruan Xiaomei?" Gao Tiezhu couldn't believe that it was Ruan Xiaomei, she was dressed like the woman in the painting, there was a feeling of being on top, and she felt that she was not the same as them.

Chen Cuihua's mood is even more complicated. She has always felt that Ruan Xiaomei is a housewife, no one hurts, no one loves, she is weak and easy to bully, she is the daughter-in-law of the Gao family, and she is controlled by her mother-in-law, but at this moment, she found that Ruan Xiaomei's grass chicken has become a phoenix, and her heart is a little sour and unbelievable.

"Mother, let's go, see what this is doing?"

"Let's go." Chen Cuihua didn't feel good in her heart. At the beginning, she looked down on Ruan Xiaomei and her family. feels that her son is very proud of being an officer, but now, her sense of superiority has been crushed into scum by Ruan Xiaomei.
