Chapter 203: The Eldest Brother is the Father (6)
Although the girls in the village are sensible in other aspects early, they know less about these aspects, because the adults are embarrassed to teach them these, and Xu Lan's family is more special, her family lives in the village, but there are many children in the family, so she gave her to the Xu family at the end of the village.

Qi Yan saw that Xu Lan was about to cry, so he hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, you're just having your menstrual period." When we were studying, we were taught in books, girls like you would do this, this is called menstruation, once a month, it's normal. ā
Xu Lan was a little embarrassed at first, and when she saw that Qiyan said that it was taught in school, she seriously wanted to ask clearly, "You learned it when you were in the first year of junior high school, I didn't go to junior high school, so I didn't know about it, but I vaguely heard my sister-in-law say something before, but I asked them, and they didn't tell me, so do you know, what should I do now?" ā
"Well, I'll take you to town and buy some ...... things, and then buy a pair of pants, change them first. Qi Yan said and hurriedly added, "I have money here, you can use it first." ā
Xu Lan felt that Qi Yan kicked the tricycle violently, and then the tricycle ran up quickly, she was so frightened that she hugged Qi Yan, and then quickly let go of her hand, hearing Qi Yan's words, her heart was warm, no one has been so good to her when she has grown so big.
Because rural people are on the street in the morning, so the shops in the town are open early, Qi Yan took Xu Lan to buy a pair of pants, and then took her to a daily necessities store, explained her situation to the proprietress, and waited outside the door, and it didn't take long for Xu Lan to come out cleanly, still carrying a bag of sanitary napkins in her hand.
Because Xu Lan's matter was delayed, Qi Yan's original stall was occupied, and the street was almost full, Qi Yan had to take Xu Lan to the innermost corner and squat, after all, the location here was not good, so most of the morning passed, and no one cared about their dishes. Everyone in the village knows that Qi Yan's vegetables sell well and make a lot of money, and there will be such a situation today, Xu Lan also knows that it must be her own problem, so she is very unhappy in her heart, and she doesn't want to eat the steamed buns that Qi Yan gave her.
Seeing her like this, Qi Yan smiled and comforted her, "You hurry up and eat the steamed buns, let's wait a while and be busy, I have so many dishes here, I still need your help, don't be tired later." ā
The three brothers and sisters of the Wu family are actually good-looking, and the elder brother has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but Wu Qiyan has worked a lot before, so he looks dark and thin, but he is quite tall, and now he is about 1.74 meters, after Qi Yan came, he raised his body well, and his nutrition can keep up, plus the reason for practicing, he looks more vibrant, even better than Wu Qiqi and Wu Qilin. So when Qi Yan smiled like this, Xu Lan immediately blushed, so she had to lower her head and nod gently. Qi Yan only thinks that the rural girl has a shy personality, so he no longer looks at her and saves her from being uncomfortable. Xu Lan couldn't help but look at him secretly, and the more she looked, the more she felt that he was different from the rest of the village. He was clean and gentle, and he didn't have any smell on his body, and he didn't want others to be so rude when he spoke, but he was very considerate of others, Xu Lan suddenly thought of watching a movie in the village, and the "gentleman" mentioned in the movie was probably like this!
After a while, after Qiyan saw more and more people in the vegetable market, he shouted loudly: "The vegetables are sold cheaply, buy two catties of water spinach and get half a catty, loofah, pumpkin, winter melon, buy one and get a pack of seeds, first come, first served, and you won't send it when you sell out!" ā
Qi Yan shouted a few words in a row, and soon someone came to ask for the price, Qi Yan was very enthusiastic to introduce them, even if they didn't buy it was very polite, at this time people didn't have any concept of service, and generally no one enjoyed this kind of treatment, so Qi Yan's attitude made them very useful, plus Qi Yan sent things again, bought more and gave more, most people have the idea of being greedy and cheap, so they bought a lot of vegetables. For a while, there were many people in front of Qi Yan's stall, Qi Yan was busy, but he didn't expect Xu Lan to look at Wen Wen quietly before, he was really a good hand at selling vegetables, and that posture did not lose Qi Yan at all, and he quickly learned Qi Yan's sales methods. Qi Yan quickly sold out the vegetables, and also sold Xu Lan's two baskets of vegetables. The remaining dishes that were not very good-looking Qi Yan were half sold and half sent away, leaving only some to eat, and taking some for Xu Lan.
When she went back, Qi Yan still took Xu Lan a piece, and then gave her the money from selling vegetables, at first Xu Lan was reluctant to ask for so much, because she knew that the reason why her vegetables could be sold so quickly was because Qi Yan gave other people's vegetable seeds, and she also spent Qi Yan's money before, plus she took her car back and forth, so she couldn't take so much money.
Qi Yan put the money in Xu Lan's hand and said: "You just take it, I sold vegetables today thanks to your help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to greet so many people alone, I will definitely have a bad time when I am busy, in that case, I will definitely lose some guests, so you can do me a great favor, besides, this is your food money, and the excess is considered labor costs." ā
"But you didn't have to hire someone in the first place!"
"If I don't hire someone, I'll be more tired, and it will take time, and now I only spend a little money to hire someone, so I still take advantage of it!"
"Can it still be counted like that?" Xu Lan asked in surprise.
Qi Yan nodded and said: "Of course, you can't just see the immediate benefits in business, it's important for me to make a few more dollars and earn a few more dollars less." So don't be embarrassed, if you want to sell vegetables in the future, just wait for me at that intersection, I will also take you to sell vegetables, and how about calculating labor costs for you? ā
Xu Lan waved her hand again and again and said, "I can sell vegetables with you, and I can also help you get started, but forget about the labor fee, you have helped me so much, how can I be embarrassed to ask you for labor fees." ā
Qi Yan thought about it and didn't speak, but when she was about to arrive in the village, she asked again: "Xu Lan, have you thought about how to tell your family about today's incident?" Will they blame you? ā
Xu Lan nodded and said: "After thinking about it, I said that the pants were borrowed, although it cost some money to buy something, but it is necessary, and they are not easy to say, anyway, I have so much money for today's dishes." ā
Qi Yan shook his head and said: "I think you should not give them so much money for this dish, otherwise they will calculate how much money you have for this dish plus how much money you have to buy things, and they will ask you to sell it for so much money in the future, if you give less, they may scold you, so you better take ten yuan out and take it yourself!" ā
"This can't be done, this is a family dish, I can't take it."
"Listen to me, as long as you do your duty, you won't be sorry for anyone, you can take it yourself if you earn more by your own efforts, but they don't understand, so you can't let them know. The food is theirs, you sell it and give it to them for money, so that they can earn some, and the rest is your labor cost. Qi Yan persuaded: "Xu Lan, you are not a stupid girl, you should also think about yourself, the Xu family...... They won't really think about you. ā
Xu Lan stood at the entrance of the village for a while, thought for a long time, pinched the money from selling vegetables in one hand, and held the ten yuan taken out of it in the other, always hesitating.
After walking to the house, Xu Lan took the vegetable basket in first, and the family had not come back, so she did the things at home first, and then made the meal, at this time, the Xu family's parents also came back from the field, and when they saw that Xu Lan had not asked about the money, they said to her: "Xu Lan, do you remember your Uncle Tian's youngest son?" It's the one who is the same age as your eldest brother, and you were still playing together during the Chinese New Year in previous years. ā
"Remember, it's a very skinny one, right?"
"That's it, he's almost twenty years old this year, and the family wants to give him a match, and they like you, and think you're pretty good, although you're a little younger, but it's almost the same if you wait for another two or three years. Uncle Tian's family conditions are good, the eldest son also bought a house in the town, and the younger son will definitely not have a bad life in the future, so I agreed for you. ā
"Mom and Dad, I'm still young, can I not say yes yet?" Xu Lan hurriedly said.
"Why don't you agree, if you don't agree now, this good family business will be snatched away by others, where will you find such a good partner when the time comes, besides, it's not for you to marry now, settle down first, and you can also receive a gift money first." Mother Xu said with a hint of sternness on her face: "I can tell you, your second brother is in high school this year, and the tuition fee has not yet been settled, you only eat at home every day, why don't you think about it in your family?" ā
What Xu Lan is most afraid of is that she says such things, every time she says this, Xu Lan will feel that she is burdened by the family, after all, she was sent by her own parents, she felt uncomfortable, so she had to hand them the money in her hand: "Parents, I made money selling vegetables today, and I can also sell vegetables every day in the future......"
"You can make a lot of money selling vegetables, besides, how can there be so many vegetables for you to sell at home, so many of us don't have to eat! If you don't get married, let's just wait to drink the northwest wind! Mother Xu sat down on the chair and said to Xu's father: "I just said that this other person's child can't be wanted, and he can't raise it, and he is not satisfied with finding such a good family for her, forget it, I don't care, just let my son stop reading books, and go home to farm!" ā
Xu's father didn't speak while smoking a dry cigarette, but the meaning was obvious, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family also opened her mouth to persuade when she saw this: "Xu Lan, this second brother has good grades in school, and he will definitely be promising in the future, this matter can't be delayed, the conditions of the Lao Tian family are good, although the youngest son is in poor health, but the family spoils him, and he will be indispensable if there are good ones in the future, so don't pick it." ā
Xu Lan felt very uncomfortable, withdrew the two hands that had been stretched out, and when she stretched out again, she just put the money in her right hand into Xu's mother's hand, and said, "Mom, I listen to you, just do what you say." ā
Seeing that she agreed, Xu's mother immediately took the money with a smile, and then beckoned her eldest son and daughter-in-law to eat, Xu Lan watched their family sit happily around, and pinched the ten yuan that had been soaked in sweat in her left hand and couldn't help but squeeze it tighter.
