27 Winter vacation has arrived
Before the arrival of New Year's Day, Ruolin rented a piece of less than two square meters in the place where she went out every day, and opened her first chain store of "Textile Niang" snacks. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info bought a cash register that integrated weighing and collection, installed a camera, and then hired a small worker to be responsible for selling snails every day.
Since then, Ruolin has liberated herself.
After this period of recuperation, Ruolin's mother is also recovering well, seeing that her daughter is busy with business every day at school, tired like a spinning top every day, she wants to help Ruolin, Ruolin thought about it, and promised her mother that she could take time to go to the store every day, and be responsible for collecting accounts at night, and she resolutely disagreed if she wanted to sell things.
As for delivering snails to the restaurant, she doesn't have to run it herself, she also rents a small worker, who is responsible for delivering goods to various restaurants every day, and then goes to the restaurant to settle the bill with the restaurant every week when she is resting.
In addition to the snails, Ruolin according to the delicious side dishes she had eaten in her previous life, tried to make them in her spare time, and when the Spring Festival was approaching, there were a lot of new dishes in the "Textile Niang" store, such as pickled pepper chicken feet, spiced beef, spicy duck intestines and so on.
Because the taste is very good, there is an endless stream of people who come to "Textile Niang" to buy side dishes every day, and the business is very hot.
Those restaurants that often buy Ruolin snails gradually came to Ruolin to directly eat the braised vegetables, which caused Ruolin to have to hire a few more people to be responsible for the production of these braised vegetables, of course, the most critical step in the production, the secret recipe is still in her own hands.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the turnover of Ruolin's store is about 2,000 every day, and the smile on Ruolin's mother's face is getting more and more.
On the afternoon of the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Ruolin gave all employees annual leave, and each of them gave two barrels of oil and 200 yuan in red envelopes.
The employees were very happy, they cleaned the small courtyard, and Ruolin asked them to come back to work after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
After being busy for nearly half a year, Ruolin wanted to take advantage of the winter vacation to go back to her grandmother with her mother for the New Year.
Zhang Shuhua was a little hesitant, in the past, she didn't go home because she wanted to see Zhou Guoqing and her mother's faces, saying that how could a married daughter always run to her mother's house, and she was not willing to let her go, every time, Zhou Guoqing had to come back to find something to quarrel with her, and secondly, because she borrowed 7,000 yuan from her mother's family, although her mother's family kept saying that she should not pay it back, but because of this 7,000 yuan, it led to a big quarrel between her aunt and uncle, and because of her laid-off and opening a store, etc., she couldn't pay it back for four or five years in a row, and she didn't have the face to go back. Now, although he said that he had made a few bucks, he could pay it back, but he and Zhou Guoqing divorced again, Zhang Shuhua always felt that she was very shameless and sorry for her father.
So she hesitated and said, "Otherwise, let's send the money over, and people won't go."
Ruolin naturally saw her heart knot, Ruolin persuaded, "Mom, when money arrives and people arrive, how can the mind be the same?" Besides, you haven't been back to your grandma's house for three years, don't you want grandma? Besides, it's not you who is at fault for your divorce from my dad. ”
Zhang Shuhua thought about it for a long time, can she still hide her divorce for the rest of her life? Besides, she really missed her mother, and after thinking about it for a long time, she nodded and agreed.
Ruolin was very happy and took her to the mall to buy clothes, which was very close to where they lived, and it was only a five-minute bike ride.
The women's clothing department is on the second floor, Ruolin walked slowly with her mother, and soon she took a fancy to Zhang Shuhua with a long slim-fitting style sky blue down jacket, the style is simple and generous, and it is lining Zhang Shuhua's white skin.
Zhang Shuhua looked at the price, "Four hundred and eighty-eight, this, this is too expensive", she was a little surprised.
This is almost enough to catch up with the average person's monthly salary.
Ruolin persuaded her, "Mom, what is this?" Aren't we making money just to spend it? Look at you, there are no clothes in the closet, and when we go back to grandma's house, you can't always wear those old clothes, right? Doesn't this make my grandma worried? You look better in your clothes, your clothes are better, and my grandma is less worried, isn't she? ”
couldn't resist her daughter's repeated persuasion, Zhang Shuhua had to go to the fitting room, not to mention, she was really good to wear, the sky blue was lining her white face, and the design of the waist of the clothes made her slender and not bloated at all.
Ruolin said to the salesperson very happily, "Open the ticket, buy it." ”
Although Zhang Shuhua liked it very much, she was still startled when she saw Ruolin opening the ticket so generously, "Otherwise, let's take a look." ”
"Don't look at it, that's it." Ruolin smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, you look so good in this dress, we stand together, just like two sisters, Mom looks really young." ”
Zhang Shuhua took off her clothes and blamed her daughter, "Nonsense, my mother has become an old woman." ”
Ruolin's eyes widened, "Ah, how can there be such a beautiful old woman, besides, Mom, if you really want to become an old woman, what should I do?" I can't do anything like ten years old a day. ”
The salesman couldn't help but laugh when he saw that what the two of them said was funny.
"Eldest sister, you see that your daughter is so funny and filial, it's the first time I've seen such a young daughter buy clothes for her mother."
Zhang Shuhua looked at her daughter who went to pay the fee, and couldn't help but smile, a little proud and a little embarrassed, and said, "My girl, looking eccentric, is filial." ”
After paying the money, Ruolin carried a bag of clothes, and successively helped her pick out two pairs of trousers and a high-necked cashmere sweater, and Ruolin herself bought a pink down jacket, a black turtleneck, and a pair of jeans.
When she got home, Zhang Shuhua looked at the small ticket and was obedient, she spent 2,000 yuan on this day.
Seeing her mother's painful appearance, Ruolin smiled "haha".
Zhang Shuhua muttered, "You can't spend it like this in the future, it's too wasteful." ”
Ruolin leaned her head on her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, now people are respecting clothes first and then respecting people, we haven't gone home for three or four years, if the clothes are too shabby, grandma is distressed not to say, other relatives will only look down on us when they see it, of course, they can afford to look down on us, we don't have to take it to heart, but grandma's heart will definitely be sad, besides, we obviously have the ability to live a little better, why do we have to pick ourselves?" Those who know think we are frugal, and those who don't know will laugh at us for not being capable. ”
Zhang Shuhua sighed, knowing that what her daughter said was right, not to mention others, just her younger sibling gave birth to a pair of snobbery.
She patted her daughter's head, "Mom knows, don't say it's expensive." It's really a little leprea. ”
Ruolin smiled, "Mom, don't worry, our store is doing so well now, we will make more money in the future." ”
Before going home, Ruolin's mother called Ruolin's uncle, Ruolin's uncle was also a little excited to receive a call from his sister, since his stupid mother-in-law made such a scene at his mother's house, the eldest sister has not been home for three years, he immediately told Ruolin's grandmother and grandfather the news.
Ruolin's mother has three sisters and brothers, Zhang Shuhua is the eldest in the family, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below. Her hometown is also rural, but Ruolin's uncle and aunt are very competitive and have studied very well since they were young.
Zhang Shuhua was also because of the poor conditions at home at that time, so she recruited workers into the textile factory early, went to work in a small town, and before she got married, including after getting married, she has also secretly been sponsoring her younger siblings to study.
However, in order for Ruolin's uncle to go to college, Ruolin's aunt was finally admitted to a secondary school in Linhai, and later worked and was assigned to W City in Linhai, which was far away from Ruolin's grandmother's house, seven or eight hundred kilometers away, and later got married and had children locally, and now she can only go back once in three or five years.
And Ruolin's uncle was admitted to the Teachers College, and after graduation, he was assigned to a local city middle school as a teacher, because he was handsome and a college student, he was soon favored by Ruolin's aunt in the same school, and chased her uncle for two or three years, and the two got married, and there was a boy, who was more than five years old.
On the phone, Ruolin's uncle said that he would drive to the train station to pick up Ruolin's family, Zhang Shuhua refused, she told her younger brother that she would go directly to Ruolin's grandmother's house, and he didn't have to be so troublesome.
Ruolin's uncle has been living in the city since he got married, and usually only returns to his hometown once during the New Year, and after listening to Ruolin's mother, he thought about it and agreed, only saying that the family would go back early in the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Ruolin rented a van, three hundred and eight one trip, six hundred and two round trip, which is considered a conscience price in the industry. But she told her mother about these, only saying that the car belonged to the same class, and she happened to go to the place where her grandmother's house was if she had something, and took them along the way.
When it was time to actually go back, Ruolin and her mother bought a car full of large and small bags.
Along the way, looking out the window, the long-distance bus was full of people, Ruolin's mother sighed in her heart, fortunately they were so lucky, otherwise they really couldn't go back.
Ruolin's grandmother lives in a township called Qingta, they set off early in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, drove for more than three hours, before noon, they saw the landmark building at the intersection of her grandmother's house, a tall seven-story green tower stands far away on the side of the market, under the wall of the green tower is an open space, many people who lead mules and horses are squatting, some are sitting, all together, some are holding bowls, some are empty-handed, it looks very lively, there is a shed not far from the open space, you can see from the car window, there are two cauldrons at the mouth of the shed, One is vegetable porridge inside, and the other is a large pot with fried fritters stacked on top of it.
Ruolin remembered that when she was four or five years old, her mother took her to climb the big green tower, and at that time, the courtyard gate of the green tower wall was not locked, and now, it is also locked.
