"Okay, godfather, I'll drink with you instead of dad in the future."
Lu Qinghe happily raised half a glass of wine in the wine glass according to his father's meaning, and toasted lower than his godfather's wine: "Godfather, hard work." Thank you too. ”
After taking a small sip, the sweet aroma of the wine entered my throat, and it felt so good. It was much better than the first time my dad tried it himself with chopsticks.
He turned to his father and toasted the same: "Dad, you have also worked hard, I respect you." In the future, I will definitely let my father live a good life. ”
Won't let you do something you don't like anymore.
"Haha, Ah Qiang, Qinghe's daughter, I really like it more and more. Sure enough, I grew up, sensible and smart, but fortunately it's my daughter, otherwise I would have been jealous of you. "Xie Changsong looks as outstanding as Lu Qinghe, and he will come to things, and he drinks with them like a little adult, which is really cute. It's only been a few months, and it's changed a lot.
Alas, when you look at your son, you know that you are buried in eating. However, fortunately, he remembered to take care of Qinghe and remember to pick up vegetables for Qinghe, it was really not easy.
"That's right, this is my Lu Qiang's daughter, and she must be the smartest." Lu Qiang smiled with a bit of proud pride. The other three daughters are also very good, the adults are not at home these days, they are all obedient, and they take good care of the pigs. After the table was cleaned up, everyone sat around the table around the fire. As you know, everyone wants to figure out how much money they made from the pomelos sold out today. Among them, Xie Changsong and Lu Qiang are the most excited and want to know the answer.
The task of counting money tonight was only given to the two of them, in front of the five children, adding up one by one, one by one, holding paper and pen, and calculating the pure profit.
The numbers on the black and white paper shocked everyone that not only grapefruit was sold today, but also apples, as well as a little New Year's painting. Toys and candies were not put out for sale, except for the personnel costs for inviting Wang Sumin, as well as the purchase costs of packaging bags and the like, the profit was actually 13,621 yuan and eight cents.
The family was very happy, Lu Qiang sent Xie Changsong and his son home, and the eldest sister climbed into her bed with her three younger sisters.
Early the next morning, Lu Qiang got up early, made breakfast himself, and made their favorite poached egg noodles for his daughters, of course, only Lu Qinghe added shredded meat. The little fat man also wanted to give his eggs to the fourth sister, but today he learned that the fourth sister didn't like to eat eggs, and he quietly kept this in his heart.
After breakfast, the two adults and the five children went to the village chief's house. Yesterday, Xie Changsong told his brother-in-law and asked him to find a place on the side of the market road where he could set up a stall and rent it to his friends. The New Year is coming soon, and the things that are batched can be taken out and sold.
Slowly, those who work outside are also beginning to prepare to go home for the New Year, and there will only be more and more people. If it weren't for the position of the township chief, it would be really hard to find a good stall location.
Lu Qiang, in the joy of the harvest the day before yesterday and yesterday, also truly agreed with his friend's words. Now that we've done it, let's finish this year. At most, half a month can come to do business, after Lu Qiang delivered all the grapefruit yesterday afternoon, he told Xie Changsong that he had made some money anyway, and it was enough to pay off the debt.
In this business, he always feels that he is a little unreasonable.
In fact, he still feels that it is too embarrassing to do business and set up a stall at the entrance of a big market or on the side of the road.
But this attractive profit is here, whether it is friends or daughters, they are all looking forward to making the family better, and Lu Qiang also listened to Xie Changsong's words and continued to sell grapefruits, even apples and other fruits. And Lu Qiang also asked to work with Xie Changsong.
The principal of the business was lent to him by Xie Changsong, and even the pomelo that he sold for two days, eating, and living was all helped by him.
They are the people who know each other best, and Xie Changsong did not refuse, but asked his brother-in-law for a place to set up a stall for the children. And the two of them went directly to the county seat to continue to invite Wang Sumin to work, and asked Wang Sumin to introduce a person with good eloquence to pick her up tomorrow.
After arranging all the qiē, they took the car to the city.
The little fat man was arranged at his uncle's house, and the small stall of Lu Qinghe and his four sisters was placed in the center of the market, at the door of a pile of broken earth houses. Liang Fufa, the township head, is Xie Zilong's uncle, and this is the first time his brother-in-law has asked him for help, so he found someone to build a simple shed for them, about twenty square meters, and the basic wind and rain protection is no problem.
Anyway, the ** earthen houses behind the shed are all in a mess, and they used to be the place where pigs were raised in the township. Later, after a few heavy rains, it fell and leaked; Later, I stopped raising pigs according to the collective, and it has been rotting here like this. Liang Fufa led people to build a shed, and not long after leaving, the fat man came over with a small stove.
It's getting colder and colder these days, and many old people say that it will definitely snow at the end of the year.
The shed was set up, and a discarded door panel was used to build a table at the front, and the New Year's paintings, toys, candy, head flowers, and some fruits piled up in the back were all laid out one by one.
"Little Si, you and Zilong sit by the fire, and we'll just watch it here." The eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister were all busy putting things apart one by one as Lu Qinghe said. They knew how to get it, and besides, her sister was too short, and she couldn't see the table on the door.
Being here only made her colder, and her body was afraid of catching cold again after a while.
"Eldest sister, you don't have to worry, I just finished the set yesterday, and it's normal that there are no people today. We'll stay until 2 p.m. and then we'll be able to go home. "Lu Qinghe now accepts the care of his sisters, and he doesn't feel awkward at all, it's quite natural.
Dad and godfather won't come back tonight, and tomorrow they will sell it directly in the county seat for a day, and go to the township next door to catch the market the day after tomorrow. They won't come back until they've sold out of their new purchases. The sisters stayed at the booth until two o'clock in the afternoon, hanging it with dark plastic film, and tying a plastic belt was considered a 'lock'.
At that time, people were still very simple, and if they only made it like this, no one would come to take a look at it.
After walking, Lu Qinghe also looked back at the position of the stall in three steps and two times: "Sister, is this really okay?" Isn't there really anyone going to steal it? ”
The eldest sister took Xiao Si's hand and emphasized again: "It's really okay, Uncle Liang has said it, just get it done like this." At night, he and Zilong helped us watch, don't worry. You see your hands are all icy. Forget it, I'll carry you, look at this day, it may rain. ”
The sky was dark, and it was only past two o'clock, and the eldest sister instructed the second sister to tighten the third sister and hurry up. It's at least two hours to get home from the market.
