Section 38 Day and night

The next afternoon, Luli entered the door with a big cardboard box, "Auntie? Xiaoyun, let's see what you got back? ”

"It's ...... What? What did you buy to go home? ”

"It's different," Luley couldn't hide his smile, opening the box and pulling out a 12-inch black-and-white TV from inside, "Oh, this is ...... Tiny, what is this? ”

"It's a TV, auntie. I bought it for you! Put the TV on, plug it in, turn on the switch, and a white snowflake appears on the screen, "What's wrong?" Xiaoxiao, don't you buy something bad, right? How expensive is this? ”

"It's okay, I've asked people, there is no show at this time, and you can see villains in it at night. Ha ha! Luli said with a smile: "Oh, aunt, when I come back in the evening, I will transfer the channel for you, there is a TV series, what is it called...... "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", it is very good." You and your second sister will take their time, right? ”

Yu Fang didn't know why, but Zhao Yunsheng smiled, clapped his hands and shouted, "Grandma,...... See...... TV! The ...... my uncle bought, look! ”

"Okay, look, look. Watch at night. Yu Fang said perfunctorily: "Xiaoyun, go, go grocery shopping with grandma." ”

"If I don't go, I want my uncle to take care of me."

Lu Li turned off the TV for the time being and picked up the child, "Auntie, I'll take him there, you just have to wait." ”

"No, you're tired for a day, take a break, Xiaoyun, go with grandma!"

Xiaoyun wanted to play with his uncle, but he couldn't resist his grandmother, and the child was aggrieved and held the little hand for the adult. All the way back out the door.

Luli is also really tired, and this day is over. I don't know how Cao Xun is selling? It was useless to think too much, and he leaned against his sister's cot. Fall asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, and I felt someone push me, "Huh? Get up, get up? This is my bed, what are you sleeping in with me? ”

Lu Li opened his eyes, and Wu Ting stood in front of him with a look of disgust, "You won't go to sleep on the ground?" What am I doing here? ”

"What are you messing with? Am I sleepy? What's wrong with sleeping for a while? ”

"My bed, won't let you sleep! Hurry up! ”

Luli was a little upset. One rolled over and sat up, "Xiaoting, what's wrong with you?" I can't sleep with you for a while? ”

"Not really! I'm not happy to let someone sleep in my bed, what's wrong? ”

Lu Li looked at Wu Ting's familiar face, as if he didn't know her, since when did this girl become so unsympathetic? Except for Yu Fang, who can occasionally see her smiling face a few times, everyone else seems to owe her money, it is the little Zhao Yunsheng. She also scolded the same. Why is that? "Do you hear that? Get up! ”

Wu Ting pulled up her brother and pushed him aside, while she lay down and didn't take off her shoes. With his legs crossed, he took a book and read it.

Luli shook his head secretly and pulled a stool to sit beside her. "Xiaoting, you ...... Is my brother wrong? Don't be mad at me? ”

Wu Ting's eyes were fixed on the book. Don't look at him, "Okay, okay." I'm not angry, you stay away from me. ”

"Xiaoting, why are you always so angry now? Whoever you arrest and scold in the family, don't talk about me, just say the eldest sister, the second sister, and even you scold a child like Xiaoyun, what is the reason? ”

"What, no, I'm tired of seeing you! Okay? ”

Lu Li only felt a burst of anger surge, and tried to suppress it as much as possible, "Aren't we a family?" How do you say it...... What about us? Did we recruit you to mess with you? ”

"Well, a family? The eldest sister and the second sister got married, and now they are in the family! Zhao Yunsheng also died with his father, looking unlucky, and you ......"

Luli took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"You ......" Wu Ting looked at the calm look on his face, a little scared for no reason, and snorted, "How are you doing, you know it yourself!" ”

Luli Huoran got up! drove the stool under him to fall to the ground, the loud sound startled Wu Ting, and the book in his hand fell to the ground; "Uncle...... I'm back." Listening to the voice, Yu Fang and the two are back.

Hearing her mother's voice, Wu Ting sneered, she expected that Lu Li would not dare to touch herself, so she turned out, "Mom, my brother beat me." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"He's sleeping in my bed, and if I say two words to him, he's going to do it! Mom, you take care of him. ”

Yu Fang smiled, and didn't take her daughter's complaint to heart, "You deserve to be beaten!" Let your brother sleep for a while, he's been running outside for a day, and he's tired. Besides, the bed can't sleep badly? ”

"No, he slept on my pillow."

"Don't you wash it when it stinks, and I won't wash it in the end?" Yu Fang chuckled and called inward, "Xiaoxiao, don't hit your sister?" ”

Lu Li was bitter in his heart, Wu Ting was so ignorant and complained in front of her aunt, Yu Fang would not believe it once or twice, there would definitely be chaos after a long time! But he can't solve such a thing, do you want to sue her in turn? Doesn't that make my aunt even more embarrassed? Forget it, just bear with it. When she's a little older, it might be fine.

Thinking of this, he smiled and hugged Zhao Yunsheng, "Got it, aunt." ”

"Do you hear that? I'll count your brother for you, don't be angry, wait a while Mom will give you pancakes and a vegetarian zygote stuffed with cabbage. ”

When it was about to dinner, Cao Xun had not come back yet, Lu Li was a little worried, and when he went to Cao's house, he saw that the tricycle was placed in the yard, Cao Xun took off his shirtless shoulders, was washing his face, and splashed a handful of cold water on his head, face, and neck, which showed that the heat was broken. "Huh?"

"Hey! There you are? Come in and sit down, and I'll be fine right away. Originally, I went to you to wash my face. Cao Xun washed the dust off his body with two handfuls, and put on a hurdle vest, "Xiaoxiao, how much do you guess I sold today?" ”

Lu Li could see from his expression that the battle situation was not bad, "How much?" He asked with a smile.

"More than eight hundred! Wu Yingwei's eyes were straight! ”

Luli was also surprised, such a result is simply higher than him! "Why are there so many?"

"I didn't expect it at first, but when I'm done. It scares me too! The four of us counted it twice before we were sure it was that number. He chuckled. Sitting down across from him, "Didn't you say that yesterday?" In addition to the cafeteria, dormitory and other places, we moved to the teacher's dormitory area, and I really didn't expect that in addition to these underwear and underwear, suits, trousers, jackets, and windbreakers were sold in several sets! They're people who really think of it. I thought, when I go tomorrow, bring a little more. ”

"Okay." Luli nodded, "That." How many of them are there? ”

"They didn't shout much, maybe they couldn't open their mouths like I did at the beginning, right? It will be fine in a few days. Oh, that's pretty white, isn't it? ”

"Jun Hanping."

"Yes, Jun Hanping said that I want to invite a few of us to have a meal tomorrow, but I didn't agree, so I'll come back and ask you."

"Besides, it's still early to eat." Luli asked, "That's right." How's things going on Telegram? ”

"Before it arrived, I asked a friend to keep an eye on it, and if he had, he would hold it for me first."

Luli nodded. He instructed and said: "You buy two Evergrande tomorrow, go back to your post and telecommunications office to see everyone, and give the cigarettes to others; In addition, buy two more Flying Immortals. Give it to your boss - I know what you're doing out there now, what sick note. It's meant to be used to cover people's ears and eyes, and don't turn around and let people gossip - this kind of thing. It's the details that determine success or failure. ”

Evergrande was the most expensive cigarette produced in Tianjin at that time, selling to a box of fiveths of a triangle; Feixian is a Shanghai brand, selling four corners and seven points, this kind of cigarette is mixed with a lot of spices in the tobacco, and the fragrance is very strong when smoking, for smokers, you can know it by smelling. The price of these two cigarettes seems almost like a joke today, but at the time, they were very expensive. "Okay, listen to you. Oh, you and I come in and we reconcile. ”

After entering the house and checking the accounts, Cao Xun sold 133 pieces (sets) of men's and women's underwear, two suits, a windbreaker, and three jackets, totaling 870 yuan. The two of them gathered together, and the number of clothes was exactly the same, Cao Xun first breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cigarette roll and lit it by himself, "Come on, the property is clear!" I've done my job today. ”

Lu Li put the money in his travel bag, put it at his feet, took out a notepad, and recorded a few strokes seriously, "Hey, Cao Xun, what do you think of this Wu Yingwei?" ”

"Not how?"

"Oh?"

"Wu Yingwei is a person who thinks about making money, and he is particularly ruthless, he told me that it is better to raise the price - listen to what he means, I can't wait to make 18,000 in a day; Jun Hanping, it's very easy to ask, and I get annoyed to ask. I think he probably wanted to learn early and leave early. There is only one single truth left, this person is a little wilted, I can see that he and Jun Hanping have a good relationship, and when Jun Hanping finishes asking, the two of them will have a small meeting. I don't know what they said, but I don't have a good impression of any of them anyway - hey, Xiaoxiao, how did you find these three pieces? Let's do a good job, what are we going to do with them? ”

"There are two reasons for this, one is Zhu Jiahua, and the other is that I also want to use them as soon as possible to spread out this market."

"I know, you've told me, I'm just a little worried, I'm afraid that I'll grab food with us in the future."

"This kind of thing is drinking ice water on a cold day, dripping in my heart. Everything has to wait for you to start operating it yourself, so that you can taste the bitterness and sweetness inside," Lu Li smiled slightly, "They have only seen thieves eat meat, and they have never seen thieves beaten!" Just knowing that we made money, I didn't expect so many tricks and difficulties in it! ”

Cao Xun laughed out loud when he heard him say witticisms.

"Also, what we are doing now, it is considered a very small profit, taking the windbreaker as an example, it is one or twenty percent of the profit, and when they are divided into it in the future, I think, it is time to increase the price."

"What? Is it to grab food with them? ”

"Originally, as soon as anything new comes out, it is a huge profit, and after a period of time, when the market gradually matures, the profit will be lower and lower, lower and lower; But our situation is just the opposite, everything has to start from the subtleties, and if we sell too much, people don't even ask,......"

"Then according to you, we are like this now, when will we get it?"

"Three or two years, I think. After the initial difficult period, when the people of Tianjin (Tianjin) City began to be familiar with and accept us, that is, when we could raise the price a little more. At that point, we'll get as much money as we can. With the money, it's easy to take the next step - when the time comes. Let them follow us to drink to the northwest! They are grabbing this bowl of rice here, and a few of us will start a new stove and make a new bowl. ”

Cao Xun laughed, "Awesome!" Xiaoxiao, you bastard is really unreasonable if you don't get rich! You're so smart! If you grow hair, you're better than a monkey! ”

Lu Li also smiled, "It doesn't matter if it's spiritual or not, the key depends on your vision." Actually, I can only feel a little bit of it. If we really wait until then, what are we going to do, and then we will discuss it together. As he spoke, he lifted his travel bag, "I'll go back first, we'll see you tomorrow." Walking to the door, he stopped again, "I remember." I bought two houses on Binjiang Road, right in front of the Peace Bureau, and I thought, come back and put my clothes there. It's easy to take it, and it doesn't take up a place at home, what do you say? ”

"Okay. Shall we move at night? ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow."

Luli returned home. Put the money away, it's not enough to eat a bite of food. The child jumped over, "Uncle...... Watch TV! ”

"yes, yes, watch TV." Turn on the TV, it was eight o'clock, the news broadcast had just started (initially, the program was broadcast at 20:00 every night), the program was not broadcast for a long time, only 20 minutes, and the announcer was a woman named Li Juan.

Looking at the words of the news broadcast typed at the beginning of the shining light, as well as the capitalized Chinese pinyin below, accompanied by the opening music that is only a dozen seconds, although Zhao Yunsheng couldn't understand it, he danced happily! "Uncle...... Auntie, Mom? Grandma, come and see ......? ”

The family attracted the attention of the small box, and each moved their chairs around the cabinet, raised their faces, and stared at the TV screen; The black and white twelve-inch small TV works very well, the picture is quite clear, the female announcer is solemn and beautiful, and her voice is loud and important news of the day.

The family didn't care much about what she said, and their mood was full of great joy: Wangjia Hutong, this is still the first part of my own home! Wait for tomorrow and the neighbors in the alley, you can really brag about it! "Oh, this time it's a little 'help'!" Yu Fang couldn't hide her pride and pride, "Xiaoxiao, this ...... How much does it cost? ”

"It's not expensive, you can rest assured."

"Isn't it expensive? I've heard people say, it's more than 400 yuan! Zhao Di said: "Xiaoxiao, where did you buy it?" ”

"Department stores." A few people talked, laughed, and watched TV, as if a door had suddenly opened in their hearts, and the world seemed to be different from now on!

At that time, there was only one central program, and the time was very short: a twenty-minute news broadcast passed, followed by a TV series imported from the United States, called "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", with no commercials, weather forecasts, interviews and other content in between, and by nine o'clock, the two programs were broadcast, and the day's broadcast was over.

When a foreigner wearing a costume appeared on TV, Zhao Yunsheng was startled and fell into his uncle's arms, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid!"

"Don't be afraid, those are all foreigners, and they are also people, and they won't come out of it to bite children."

He deliberately joked with the child, but the more the child listened, the more frightened he became, and he buried his head so hard that he refused to turn around to look! Yu Fang watched it with relish, "Xiaoyun, come here, your uncle is still eating." ”

Lu Li let go of the child, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and before he could take a bite, Xu Yunjian arrived, "Xiaoxiao, our colleague is here, I asked them to wait for you at Binjiang Road." ”

Lu Li put the dishes and chopsticks down, grabbed a handful of banknotes, opened the door and left, "Xiaoxiao, run away without eating?" ”

"Don't eat, aunt, I still have something to do, I may not come back to sleep at night."

Riding a bicycle, he and Xu Yunjian went straight to Binjiang Road, and there were already three people in front of the door, each with a toolbox at their feet, and heavy objects such as hammers next to them, "Xiaoxiao, introduce to you, this is your own family, this is Master Zhang, this is Master Li." A few masters, this is a little, my buddy, our brother has a lifelong friendship! His business is my business, do the job beautifully! ”

"Cao, your father and we are brothers, and we still need you to say 'do a nice job'?" The master surnamed Lu said with a smile.

"You and my Uncle Xu's senior brother, I call you uncle."

"Hey! You boy, what a fucking soul! ”

Lu Li laughed, took out the three Evergrande that he bought on the road, and handed them to each person, "A few masters, I have made you still have a bad rest, I really can't help it, you can smoke these cigarettes." ”

Master Zhang was the leader of the three, and he didn't shirk it, and put the cigarette into the toolbox, "That, I'm older than you, I'm bigger, call you brother?" Xiao Xu is our apprentice, and his friends are also our friends. But we have to talk about it in front, you said, a total of 50, when will you finish your life and when will you settle the account, isn't it? ”

"That's what I said, as long as you finish the work for me, I'll pay for it immediately."

"Yes." Master Zhang nodded, "Open the door!" ”

Luli opened the door one by one, lit the light bulb in the room, and the room was bright, "Did you see that?" I have already drawn lines with Xu Yunjian on these two walls in advance, and the parts below the line are all opened, and then the door, door frames, window frames, and glass, all of which will be handed over to a few of you, okay? ”

"No problem," the three of them discussed, "dig out the hole tonight, and start feeding tomorrow, and find someone to install the door and door frame." ”

"A few masters, I don't believe you, there are only three of you, is it too late? That's a lot of work, isn't it? ”

Master Zhang laughed, "If you don't bend your stomach, you won't eat the sickle head!" Don't worry, just wait to get the money, and you don't have to worry about the rest, how about it? ”

"I didn't say it, I asked a few masters for those few words."

Master Zhang nodded, "Then, Xiao Lu, you and Xiao Xu go back, we have to toss for a night." We'll see you tomorrow. ”

Lu Li nodded out, but refused to leave, he pondered for a while, looked at his watch, just arrived at eight o'clock, discussed with Xu Yunjian again, went to the nearby restaurant and ordered a few dishes, and brought ten bottles of beer and put them at the door. At this time, the work in the room had begun, and the hammer struck the wall, making a loud roar, and the wall tiles, gray skin, dust, and debris flew inside and out, and the smell of choking could be smelled from afar.

"Xiaoxiao, you go back, I'll just keep an eye on it."

"Forget it, you go back, you have to go to work tomorrow. I'll catch up on sleep tomorrow. ”

Xu Yunjian sat with him for a while, he was indeed a little tired, the work on the construction site was too hard, and he was talking to him without a match, while taking a nap, "Hey, hey? ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Go back, go back to sleep, come pick me up tomorrow morning. You'll have to keep an eye on me when the time comes. ”

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you." Xu Yunjian got up and pushed the cart, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, you can rest for a while at night, they still have to toss." (To be continued......)
