"Really, Ling'er? Do you really have a shop? How much silver does that cost? Aunt Fu was surprised.

Ling'er smiled awkwardly: "Yes, Aunt Fu, you have to spend some money, you also know the situation of our family, my father and mother are old, they can't do heavy work, and it's even more impossible to go out to do things for others." But our family wants to eat, and my father takes medicine all year round, so after thinking about it, it's still cost-effective to make a shop, and this time my father and mother have gambled on the net worth of the whole family! ”

Aunt Fu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense, Ling'er, your father and mother are really blessed, after working hard for most of their lives, they finally got such a filial and thoughtful daughter like you!" Alas, I wish I could have a well-behaved daughter like you! ”

Sister-in-law Liu on the side joked: "Hu Ziniang, if you want to regenerate, anyway, you are in good health and the conditions are not bad, I see, you have no problem regenerating ten or eight!" ”

Aunt Fu blushed for a while, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law Liu, you make fun of me again, how can I have your blessing, my grandchildren and grandchildren will be together before forty!" Alas, when will I be able to hold my grandson? ”

Ling'er saw that the two women were chatting energetically, so she greeted and ran into Wang Jiarong's courtyard. Wang Jiarong, who had just returned home from work, heard that Ling'er wanted to rent an ox cart, so he didn't ask much, and directly pulled the cart on the back of the ox, and went to the village with Ling'er.

Ling'er remembered the words of Sister-in-law Liu, she knew that Wang Jiarong's family was well-off, and there must be a lot of grain in the family, so she told him about the grain harvest, and asked him to help talk to the people in the village who were interested in selling the stored grain, so as not to let the people in the village say that their family had no heart and lungs, and they would forget about them if there were good things.

When they returned to the town, their father and mother were very enthusiastic when they saw Wang Jiarong and insisted on keeping him for dinner. Wang Jiarong is a real person, seeing that the yard of Ling'er's house has not been tidied up, he came to help after eating, several people were busy until midnight, and finally cleaned up the yard, and the most important thing is to sort out the two wings that will be used as granaries, and now everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow to open.

My father and mother wanted to keep Wang Jiarong to live in the shop, but unfortunately there were only two beds at home, which was really difficult to arrange, and Wang Jiarong insisted on going back, so my father and mother had to pay for the car to send him out.

Ling'er stayed in the courtyard to sort out the things to be used for tomorrow's opening, such as firecrackers, red cloth heads, account books, abacus, and baskets of rice and grain, cloth bags and a lot of other things! Suddenly, she remembered something, hurriedly chased out, asked the old lady who had just come back for a hundred yuan, and ran to the entrance of the town. Fortunately, Wang Jiarong walked slowly and arrived in the middle of Zhenkou Square.

"Uncle Rong, wait!" Ling'er caught up and stuffed the 100 yuan to him: "Uncle Rong, please do me a favor!" Our shop will open tomorrow, and we need to move the rice and grain for sale, we are in a hurry, and we don't have time to find someone, so please ask Uncle Rong to go back to the village to help us find four people. Do you think it's okay? ”

Wang Jiarong looked down at the string of copper coins in his hand, and seemed to be a little hesitant, Ling'er hurriedly took out another twenty coins from his arms and handed it over: "Uncle Rong, in the middle of the night, I'm sorry for you, this should be used as tea money to run away!" ”

Wang Jiarong was stunned for a moment, and quickly pushed back and said: "No, no, I mean it's too late, I'm afraid to disturb people's rest!" When do you open tomorrow? ”

"It was originally scheduled to be in the middle of the hour, but now that the weather is hot, I am afraid that the big guys will not be in a hurry to open it at that time, and go home to hide from the cold, so we plan to open it an hour earlier, the latest in the middle of the hour, of course, it can be better earlier!"

Wang Jiarong thought for a while, and handed the 100 copper coins to Ling'er: "Okay, I know, I'll call a few brothers tomorrow morning, let's help together, and the wages will be settled after the work is done, okay, that's it, you go back quickly!" ”

Ling'er paused, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Uncle Rong usually helps us so much, you must take this money, otherwise we are embarrassed to trouble you again!" ”

"Folks, don't talk about this, take it!" Wang Jiarong threw the copper coin into Ling'er's arms, flicked the whip empty, and the old cow lazily pulled the ox cart onto the country road. Ling'er stood in place, stunned as she watched the ox cart gradually move away, and her heart felt warm, it turned out that there were still many good people in the world.

The next morning, Ling'er's family got up early, the old lady cooked, and the father walked around the yard to check whether there were any omissions.

When she knocked on the door of the shop, the shopkeeper was still yawning and confused, Ling'er went in by herself, found her own plaque, paid the money and ran out. The shopkeeper stood at the door and looked at the girl with pigtails carrying the plaque but was as light as a swallow, and after a while, he said: "The plaque is less than seventy or eighty pounds, am I dazzled?" ”

Ling'er carried the plaque home and put it at the door of the shop, went in and moved the ladder out, climbed up, ordered a few big nails, and then hung the plaque, and finally put the red cloth that had been prepared long ago on the plaque. She slid down the ladder, took a few meters back, nodded with satisfaction, okay, just wait for the hour to come, set off firecrackers and unveil the red cloth to open!

The old lady who cooked the meal came out, saw the father and Ling'er standing together, looked up in unison, she looked up, and saw that the plaque was actually ready, and she also happily came over and stood in a row with the father and daughter: "Great, we also have our own shop!" ”

"Hehe, Aunt Yang, your Ling'er is really capable, such a big plaque, I see that she can carry it with one hand, how strong is this girl?" Aunt Wan from the bun shop next to her shouted with a smile, and the old lady also nodded with a smile: "Yes, our family Ling'er has more strength than others, alas, it's because our two old things are useless!" ”

"Aunt Yang, don't say that, Ling'er is so capable, one is worth several! Business will definitely get better and better in the future! ”

"Thank you eldest niece Ji Yan, I hope it will get better and better! Eldest niece, you see that we countrymen don't know the rules of businessmen, what are the particularities of the opening of the shop? ”

"Exquisite? What's the matter? Business is better than anything! By the way, Aunt Yang, when the firecrackers are opened later, there may be children who come to ask for money, at that time, you can't say no, or you will drive the God of Wealth out of the door, unlucky! ”

"Really? That... How much money does that cost? ”

"Hehe, this is as happy as you like, some of them are directly sprinkled out one by one, and some are sent one by one, it depends on you how much it is!"

"So, that's... Then I've got to get ready to go! The old lady ran in happily with her little feet.

Now this solar term is bright early in the morning, Ling'er's family is only mid-hour after eating, the father dragged the cannon to the door and set it up, the old lady took a broom to sweep the shop over and over again, Ling'er put the four treasures of the study on the counter, and polished the ink for backup at any time.

When it was almost a moment to the hour, Ling'er suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Ling'er! Ling'er, where are you? ”

It's Yue'er! Ling'er jumped up and rushed out of the door, and saw that on the ox cart not far away, Yue'er was waving to herself excitedly, along with Xiaohuzi and his father's four brothers, including Wang Jiarong!

Ling'er was overjoyed, Wang Jiarong really kept his word, and when he said Chen, they really came when they were about to arrive at Chenshi, saying that they wanted four people, and he really brought four strong laborers! Ling'er likes to deal with honest and trustworthy people the most, and she decided that she would find Uncle Rong's family if she had something to do in the future!

Before the ox cart was stable, Yue'er jumped down from the carriage, pulled her around twice, and then looked up at the plaque covered by the red cloth, and said happily: "Okay, Ling'er, you don't say a word if you want to open a shop, no wonder there is no one in the family, I thought you provoked someone like last time, sneaked away!" ”

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth and whispered: "Sister Yue'er, our shop opened today, can you say something auspicious?" ”

"Auspicious? Think about it...... Is it okay for your shop to have a lot of money, a good business, and a lot of money? ”

Ling'er laughed dryly: "Okay!" These words are good, Sister Yue'er, help when you come! ”

"No problem, what are you going to do, I'll come!" Yue'er rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to do a big job. Ling'er greeted Wang Jiarong and Xiaohuzi one by one, first politely, and then began to divide the labor for everyone.

As soon as the morning came, Xiaohuzi's father knocked three times at the door with a gong, and shouted loudly: "The hour has come, light the cannonball, unveil the plaque, and open the door!" ”

Wang Jiarong lit the firecracker, the firecrackers crackled into a string, Ling'er and a few people covered their ears and watched, the sound of the firecracker attracted a lot of neighbors and passers-by, and the children were even more happy.

The old lady is also happy today, holding the money bag and a copper plate carefully, but the children are not happy, and they still shout around the old lady to enjoy the money. The old lady had no choice but to send it again, and in the end, I don't know who sent it and who didn't, anyway, the bag of copper coins of a few hundred wen was penniless.

The children scattered in a hurry when they saw that there was no benefit, and the brothers Wang Jiarong moved the door panels of the shop one by one, and Ling'er posted the big red good news that had been prepared long ago at the door, and asked Xiaohuzi to greet loudly at the door:

"Yang's grain shop is newly opened, and the millet is purchased at a high price, the medium grain is 30 wen and a bucket, the high-grade grain is 40 wen and a bucket, and the old grain is 25 wen and a bucket for more than two years, how many are collected, and the people who want to sell the millet hurry up!"

Passers-by came to watch when they heard the news, and some asked, no matter what the question was, Ling'er answered them one by one with a smile. After greeting for nearly half an hour, although there were many people who asked, none of them really picked up grain to sell, but there were many people who bought rice and grain to ask to see if the newly opened shop was cheap!

Yue'er was a little anxious when she saw it, and whispered: "Ling'er, your shop is open, why don't you have any business?" Did you not choose the right time? Do you want to think of a solution? ”

Ling'er was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Yue'er, don't worry, everyone will go home and pick millet for a while, you will rest first, and you will be busy later!"
