Chapter 29: Zhang Luo opens a shop
When Xu Hongwen saw him coming back, he pointed to the girl in the photo and turned around and asked with a smile: "This girl is Du Yue, I didn't expect your kid to be quite a thief!" ”
Xu Hongwu was a little blushing by the eldest brother, he began to like Du Yue when he was in high school, Xu Hongwu, who was not brave at the time, secretly wrote love letters to others, and was sued by Du Yue to the teacher for this matter, there is a good girl who is also afraid of pestering Lang, the two began to secretly date in the third year of high school, after graduating from high school, both of them were not admitted to college and did not study, after graduation, Xu Hongwu was helping to do some farm work when he was busy with farming, and he followed the carpenter master in the village to learn the craft when he was not working. In the past two days, because of the fact that he and Du Yue have become yellow, Xu Hongwu, who is in a hurry, really has no choice, and he is so desperate that he has been lying at home.
"Huh!" Xu Hongwu laughed a little embarrassed and said, "This is like Du Yue on the film!" ”
Xu Hongwen put down the photo frame and punched him, saying, "Okay, such a beautiful girl can chase him!" ”
Xu Hongwu, who was still smiling just now, lowered his face again and said: "Big brother, I have been dating Du Yue for almost three years, although she said that I would not marry, but her mother was too snobbish, and now she won't even let me see Du Yue!" ”
At this time, the second aunt He Hong had already ordered two bowls of egg noodles and asked the two of them to eat noodles, Xu Hongwen only ate two fritters in the morning, and ran more than 20 miles on a bicycle to digest less, and now he just happened to accompany Hongwu, who had not yet eaten breakfast, to eat a bowl of noodles.
Halfway through the meal, Xu Hongwen said: "Second aunt, Hongwu has no future as a carpenter now, so it's better to let him go to Haizhou with me!" ”
He Hong was also anxious, knowing that his son Hongwu liked Du Yue, but there was only this condition at home, if other people's families couldn't look down on it, what could be done there, after listening to Hongwen's words, he asked: "Hongwen, aren't you still in school?" What can Hongwu do when he goes to Haizhou with you? ”
Seeing the second aunt and Hongwu looking at him, Xu Hongwen said: "I am about to open a store in Haizhou, and I lack a trustworthy person to help me look after the store!" ”
Swallowing the noodles in his mouth, Xu Hongwu asked eagerly: "Big brother, what kind of store are you going to open!" ”
After Xu Hongwen explained the situation, considering that the store had not yet opened, he didn't know how the specific business was, and said: "Second aunt, Hongwu and I will go to Haizhou to see the store, and I can give him a salary of 500 yuan a month!" ”
The second aunt and Hongwu were surprised when they heard this number, and shouted together: "500 yuan!" ”
Glancing at the nephew in front of him, He Hong, who didn't know what the big brother was, felt a little unreliable, and asked someone to pay a salary of 500 yuan to see the store, I heard that the salary of the county magistrate was only four or five hundred yuan a month, so it was not that Xu Hongwen's salary for her son was higher than that of the county magistrate.
He Hong said with some uncertainty: "Hongwen, the salary of working in the factory is only more than 200 yuan, and you don't have to lose money in your store if you give your brother such a high salary!" ”
Xu Hongwu also felt that the salary of 500 yuan was too high, and it would be good if he could earn two or three hundred yuan a month, but his eldest brother was the most promising person in their family, and he thought that the eldest brother would not harm himself anyway, whether there was a salary or not, Xu Hongwu went to Haizhou to see the store, and he said with some uncertainty: "Yes, eldest brother, I haven't repaired my eldest brother, and I won't know anything if you let me see the store!" ”
"No, I can teach you slowly, you can help me watch the store first after you go over, and entertain guests when they come to the door!"
He Hong, the second aunt who got up after watching them finish eating and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, wanted to let her son go out for a walk, anyway, it's not a matter of being bored at home now, no matter whether he can make money or not, anyway, his cousin can't hurt him, so he agreed after thinking about it!
The second aunt helped Hongwu pack a bag of change of clothes, and waved her hand to watch the two brothers walk away.
On the way back, the two brothers deliberately passed through Du Yue's village, but they didn't see Du Yue and her, and Xu Hongwu, who was a little unwilling, had to wait a little longer, but was pulled away by Xu Hongwen.
After returning to the county seat, he had lunch at home, and Xu Hongwen took his cousin to the car to Haizhou; Although Haizhou is not far away, Xu Hongwu has never been here, after the car entered the city, the buildings and straight roads made him dazzled, and the excitement of coming to Haizhou for the first time also made him forget his troubles.
When I came to the store, the store was still the same as before, the tables and chairs that Fang Hao's grandfather opened the teahouse were of little use to Xu Hongwen, and they were still in the way there, and the brothers who had just put down their luggage began to pack up, because there were three bedrooms in the back, Xu Hongwen took out one of them and used it as a utility room, and moved all the tables and chairs in front of him.
After the tables and chairs were removed, the front store became empty, Xu Hongwen closed the door and went out with Hongwu, now the money in Xu Hongwen's hand is still a little tight, it's really hard to do anything less than 800 yuan, and you don't have to think about the decoration of the store!
Xu Hongwen first went to the advertising company and asked them to make an airbrush signboard and install it as required, which cost more than 200; After arriving at the furniture market, Xu Hongwen wanted to buy a special repair table, but he searched all over the furniture market and did not have the repair table he was looking for; Although the place where the furniture can be customized, Xu Hongwen does not have the time to wait, and there is no extra money to order one, so Xu Hongwen has no choice but to buy a desk to make do with it first, and then make a special one when the conditions are good!
After buying the desk, he bought some repair tools such as soldering iron, multimeter, adjustable power supply, etc., and the money in Xu Hongwen's hand was almost spent, and after returning to the store, Xu Hongwen took out the only dozens of yuan left in his pocket, lamenting that the money was still too little, and he spent it without buying anything.
After packing up the things, it was already dark, and the two of them sat exhausted in the empty shop, not many things were bought, but the place was not less, and the newly bought desk was made into a repair table and placed in the center of the store, which was full of various repair tools.
Just now, because the store was really space, Xu Hongwen and the others moved out two sets of tables and chairs, one was placed in front of the repair table against the wall, so that the guests could have a place to sit, and the other set was placed behind the repair table.
Seeing that it was dark outside, Xu Hongwen felt that he was hungry now, but now his pockets were empty, so he took out the steamed buns he just bought and swallowed them with boiled water.
Seeing Hongwu's constipated appearance when he ate steamed buns, Xu Hongwen said with a smile: "Is this steamed bun so unpalatable!" ”
Xu Hongwu, who had just taken a bite of the steamed bun, said a little vaguely: "Brother, eating steamed buns at home is not such a way to eat, how can you say that there is a pickle!" ”
"You're still exquisite!" Xu Hongwen, who was a little funny, scolded with a smile, and was afraid that his younger brother would think too much, so he would ask Hongwu to come to Haizhou to make money, not to come over to suffer, and comforted and said: "Hongwu, don't worry, there will be bread and milk!" ”
Xu Hongwu, who was eating steamed buns, was actually a little worried now, seeing that his eldest brother was spending money like water today, plus borrowing his money cost more than 800 yuan a day, and he didn't know if there would be business in the future, now that the money was spent, if they didn't get into the account for a few days, they couldn't even afford to eat steamed buns.
Seeing the confident appearance of the eldest brother, Xu Hongwu didn't say anything frustrating, and cleaned up the table after eating the steamed buns, and then a tricycle stopped at the door of their store, and when he went out, he saw that it was someone from the advertising company.
Knowing that the people from the advertising company were coming, Xu Hongwen came out and asked only to know that they came to catch up with the night tooling signboard, and saw that the people from the advertising company could come to install it so quickly, Xu Hongwen, who was happy in his heart, remembered that he still had the pack of good cigarettes he bought today in his pocket, and hurriedly took it out and gave one to each of the two divisions.
Xu Hongwen and the two brothers stood outside the store, watching the advertising company's Shifu installation signboard, the signboard said Quickly repair the big brother, the six words of Douda can be seen clearly from afar, and this spray painting signboard with white characters on a blue background is particularly eye-catching on the street where most of the signs are wood carvings!
The signboard was quickly installed, and after sending off the two teachers, the two brothers, who had been tired for a day, closed the door directly and went into the house to sleep! Collect!! Ask for a recommendation!! Thank you
