Chapter 24 Setting up a stall
"This, if you don't wait for Lin Feng to come back and discuss it, I think it's okay for you to set up a stall at the door to kill time, but I always feel that it's not good to count on this to make money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI think it's better for you to cook at home and don't think about making money. ”
"What's not good, when the time comes, your dad can make a small bench or something to sell there, it's not me bragging, your dad's carpentry skills are still good." It's a big deal to cook, when the time comes, you go to your class, and I'll cook the food. Besides, if you let us stay at home all day, we won't be suffocated. ”
In the city, people of Lin Feng's parents' age have long since retired at home, they can travel and participate in some community activities to enrich the life of the elderly. In my heart, I am resistant to such an idea, for the simple reason that people will say that we are not filial and have ruined our reputation for a few dollars.
When Lin Feng came back in the evening, they told Lin Feng the idea of setting up a stall. "Dog, what do you think of our thoughts?"
"Mom, how many times have I told you, don't call me a dog baby in the future, let others hear the joke."
"What's the matter, there's no one else here."
"In this way, I think it's okay, and it also saves you from being anxious at home, full, you see if you don't wait for you to rest and help you get something, whatever, just have something. Or you go with my mom, you take her once, and when you're done, you let her go by herself. ”
"Okay, then I'll go over there another day." Lin Feng agreed, and I had nothing to say.
Because Lin Jiao was uncomfortable, Lin Feng's parents slept on the sofa today. I lay in bed and thought about it, thinking about what I was going to buy tomorrow, going to the Jinqiao Wholesale Market, and thinking about the mortgage that I hadn't paid this month. This reminds me of what Yoyo said to me today, and I am really full of thoughts.
"It's full, I put the mortgage card on the table, you remember to pay the mortgage back in the past two days."
"Okay, I know, but my money is a little insufficient, and I spent a lot of money this month, and I paid utility bills or something."
"How much worse is that?"
"Give me another 1,000."
"How can it be so bad? The mortgage is 2700, and I see that your salary is quite a lot this month, 4000. How can this not cost so much? What did you buy? ”
"Don't you need money for food and drink at home? You just give me 500 yuan, your sister, your parents are here now, or I don't care about the life of the family in the future, you can take care of it. "I'm a little aggrieved that this will start to settle accounts with me, as if I gave money to someone else.
"Oops, I didn't mean that, full. I mean you have to save money. ”
"Do you mean I'm spending money recklessly? You have a higher salary than me, where is your money? I haven't asked you yet? ”
"My money has its own use, and I am about to apply for a real estate certificate, which is tens of thousands of yuan, so don't I have to pay it? Besides, I've been thinking about going it alone lately, and it's not a problem to look at people's faces all day? ”
"Alone? You're saying you're quitting? Looking at people's faces, you mean Mr. Li. ”
"Who else can show me a look but him, our brothers can't get used to him, if I come out to work alone, I think I can win them over, and I have customers in my hands, and I can find a few OEM factories when the time comes, it's not as difficult as I imagined."
"Wouldn't that be a bit unorthodox? After all, you've robbed other people's customers and poached them. ”
"What do you mean by robbing his customers? These customers are usually maintained by me, in order to please customers, I am giving gifts and running errands, hot faces and cold butts are common things, like a grandson, am I easy? They only believe in me, and only I can ask for money. As for digging people, it's because he can't keep people, so can you blame me? You don't understand business matters, rest early, and I'll give you the money tomorrow morning. ”
A few days later, during a holiday, I bought some socks, trinkets or something, and Lin Feng's parents officially started to busy their business. At this time, my sister-in-law, Lin Jiao, found out that she was pregnant, which was like dripping some water into hot oil, and the effect could be imagined. Lin Feng's parents' business was temporarily put on hold, and all the things set up in the stall were piled up on the balcony.
Compared with the happiness of Lin Feng's parents, others obviously didn't have that mood, and Lin Jiao was even more sad. "Jiaojiao, what the hell are you going to do? Now that it's like this, do you want to think about divorce again? Although Lin Jiao has her own income, it is impossible to count on that income to support a child, let alone being a single mother in the future, it is even more unimaginably difficult. Lin Jiao and I were walking in the community, in fact, the main reason was to take this opportunity to discuss what to do about this matter. Lin Jiao was silent for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think would happen if I beat this child?" She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
"Now that your parents know about this, if the child suddenly disappears, how can you let them accept it? I don't want to comment on Gao Yun, but I think it's necessary for you to tell Gao Yun about it, after all, he is the child's father. ”
"Sister-in-law, let's sit there for a while, I'm a little tired."
"Okay." I helped her sit down in the shade.
"Have you been in touch with Gao Yun recently?"
"No, I sent him the divorce agreement and asked him to sign it, but he didn't sign it, and he didn't answer my call, if I did it again, I would have to go to the court to sue."
I watched the people coming and going, they shuttled under the lights, many families would take their children out for a walk at this time, what a warm scene, it was so cruel to think about the departure of a small life at this time. The phone rang, and I saw that it was Gao Yun's phone, so I walked to the side and picked up the phone.
"Hey, sister-in-law, are you home? I want to meet Jiaojiao. ”
"This, you can just say anything directly, or you can call Jiaojiao directly."
"Sister-in-law, Jiaojiao's temper I know, I call her, I'm afraid I'm going to quarrel again, I really don't want to divorce, I'm really confused for a while, and Jiaojiao is pregnant now, I can't agree anymore, sister-in-law begs you, you help me persuade her."
"What? How did you know about this? ”
"My eldest brother told me. Sister-in-law, I'm at the gate of your community now, let me meet Jiaojiao. ”
"Okay." I told him our location, if Lin Feng told Gao Yun about this, does that mean that Lin Feng has actually made concessions in this matter, compared to the relationship between Lin Feng and Lin Jiao, maybe I am still an outsider, maybe the current situation, Lin Jiao and Gao Yun reconcile is the best choice for Lin Jiao. But can we really go back to the way things were? I don't know.
"Jiaojiao."
"You, how are you? What are you here for? Because of her excitement, Lin Jiao stood up and wanted to leave, but Gao Yun grabbed her arm.
"Jiaojiao, I beg you, just listen to me a few words." He cried, and it seemed that he really regretted it a little.
"You let me go." Lin Jiao shook him off, but didn't continue walking.
"I'll let go, I'll let go, don't get excited. Jiaojiao, I will never see that woman again, I know that you are pregnant now, it is me who is bad, it is me who is a bastard. He began to slap himself. The sound of crackling is particularly abrupt at night, and people from several neighborhoods still look this way from time to time.
"Okay, don't fight, everyone else is watching, it's not enough to be embarrassed at home."
Gao Yun felt that Lin Jiao's tone softened slightly, and immediately helped Lin Jiao to sit down, he would quite seize the opportunity. "Jiaojiao, just forgive me this time, even if it's for the sake of the child..."
Under Gao Yun's bitter pleading, Lin Jiao finally agreed to go home with Gao Yun tomorrow, and the two even discussed the excuse of coming to see Lin Jiao's parents tomorrow, so as not to be known by the old man about such an unbearable thing. After Gao Yun left, Lin Jiao was not much happy, but became more dull, I don't know what she was thinking, I think this may be the concession she made for the sake of the child, the greatness of a woman. The next day, Gao Yun showed up at my door with a lot of gifts and pretending to have just returned from a business trip. Judging from the expressions of Lin Feng's parents, they are basically satisfied with this son-in-law.
"Gao Yun, now that we Jiaojiao are pregnant, you have to take good care of her, our Jiaojiao is already weak, so we need to pay more attention."
"Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of Jiaojiao. She is now the focus of our family's protection. ”
Lin Feng's mother carefully explained that Gao Yun should take good care of Lin Jiao, and after eating at our house, Lin Jiao followed Gao Yun back, so there was no need for Lin Feng's parents to sleep on the sofa at night. When I come back from work in the evening, I will see Lin Feng's parents sitting in front of the stall, at this time, I usually go home to cook first (I said that she did it, and then I did it), and when my meal was ready, Lin Feng almost came back, Lin Feng and I had a good meal, and then I would go to change Lin Feng's parents to come back for dinner. It will be more than 10 o'clock when they finish eating and then sell things, and I will help them pack up their things and go home, and sometimes Lin Feng will come over to help.
"Mom, how is business today?"
"It's okay, there is an income of seventy or eighty yuan, hey, this city is good, if you make this money in the countryside." She happily put the money in her small purse one by one.
"By the way, I think that socks and that one called T are selling very well, or you can bring me some in two days. Also, today there was a person who said that we would have to pay money to set up a stall here, and let us pay them 500 yuan a month, otherwise they would not be allowed to set up here, and he also said to give me a week, but I ignored them. ”
"You mean the T-shirt, okay, I see. Did they say who it was? Is it from the chengguan? ”
"I didn't say this, I also inquired about other stall people, some of them paid, some didn't, anyway, I won't pay this money."
"Mom and Dad, the next time you see these people, don't be tough with them, if you don't let them go, you won't put them on the table, you can't do it for a few hundred dollars. This city is no better than the countryside, don't suffer the immediate loss. ”
"Then you will pay the money, according to you?"
"I don't mean that either, whether I can make that money in a month is a matter of two words."
