Chapter 36: New Year's Anecdote II
Mother Ling and the others all had smiles on their faces when they came back, and Ye Ling leaned in and asked curiously, "Mom, second aunt, why are you so happy?" ”
My aunt said to the old lady while taking off her coat: "When I was in the store just now, the second sister received a call from Fengcheng, and the eldest sister and the third sister and their family are coming back for the New Year. ”
When the old lady heard this, she quickly stood up and looked at Ling's mother: "Qingping? Is what Sookyoung said true? Mixia and Rainbow are coming back? ”
Mother Ling hung up her coat and walked over to help the old lady sit down: "Yes, my eldest sister and my little sister are both back, and Shidong and Xiao Miao are also back." ”
The old lady couldn't close her mouth happily, and kept chanting: "I didn't hear them say they were coming back when I came back, why did they suddenly come back for the New Year?" ”
"It's not good to come back," my aunt also came over: "I guess they think they are bored to celebrate the New Year over there." Come back, we can have a good year together, isn't it good. ”
"It's good, how can you live for so many years?" The old lady was a little worried, whether it was Ling Xiaoxiao's family or Ye Ling's family, it was very small, and it was really a little unbearable for so many people to come back.
Ling's mother was also a little worried, but she and her aunt had already discussed it in the store: "Mom, don't worry, when the time comes, Shuying and I will borrow two bunk beds, let's set up the bed in the living room at night, and put it away in the morning, Shuying does this, let's squeeze it again and fall asleep, besides, they won't arrive until noon on the 30th day, and they will have to rush back on the fourth day of the new year, and they won't be able to live for a few days." ”
The accommodation was solved, but the New Year's goods purchased by Ling Xiaoxiao before were a little insufficient, and the vegetables and other vegetables had not been bought, so it was okay to buy more when the time came, but the local chickens, pork, ribs, eggs and so on that had to be prepared in advance were not enough, she and Ye Ling had to buy some more, and the live fish that had been ordered with the boss who sold the fish in advance had to order a few more, and there were ...... Ling Xiaoxiao flipped through the list she had made before and rearranged it again.
Ling's father came back and brought the news from the little uncle's side, the little uncle did well in the bank this year, and it is very likely to be promoted to the president of the branch next year, he is now proud of the spring breeze, originally wanted to let Ling's father and the little aunt and the two of them go to Ancheng for the New Year, but later I heard that there were old people here, and there were also old people in the little aunt's house who couldn't leave, so they changed it to let them go to the Lantern Festival.
Ling's father is the eldest in the family, and there are three younger sisters and a younger brother below, in addition to Ling's father and aunt, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the little uncle are all in Ancheng, the eldest aunt and the second aunt are employees of state-owned enterprises, and their business benefits have been stable and stable, so when the tide of layoffs blows, it has not been affected, before Ling Xiaoxiao's previous life was reborn, the aunt retired smoothly, although the second aunt is still working but is about to retire, and the life is very comfortable.
In the past few years, Ling Xiaoxiao's family had a tight life, every time the little uncle and they let them go to Ancheng to play, Ling's father and Ling's mother were reluctant to go over, and they had to use money for round-trip fares, money for eating and drinking, money for buying things for a few children, and money for taking children out to play, and the two of them really didn't have enough money for their dead wages. It's different now, since Ling's mother's shop opened, the life of the family has been getting better and better, and they also have the money to go to Ancheng to see their younger siblings this year.
Ling's mother knew Ling's father's thoughts, so she naturally agreed with both hands, and even the old lady on the side also nodded with a smile: "It's time to go over and take a look, you and your younger brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a few years, and you can't always rely on phone calls, this relative, you still have to move around more, otherwise no matter how good the relationship is, you will have to be estranged." ”
Ling's father and Ling's mother echoed the old lady, saying that she was right, the old people are wiser, and they can see things clearly after a lifetime. It's just that Ling Xiaoxiao is a little worried, her study plan for this holiday has been changed again and again, and if she goes to Ancheng again, the study goal she set during the holiday will definitely not be achieved.
At night, the old lady lay on the bed and watched Ling Xiaoxiao do her homework and suddenly said: "Yaya, don't push yourself too hard, the strings will break if they are too tight, the New Year is coming soon, you can rest for a few days and wait for the New Year, you are studying." ”
Ling Xiaoxiao turned her head and smiled at the old lady: "Grandma, I didn't force myself to study, I don't have a bad foundation, if I want to be admitted to a good school, I can't work hard, my study intensity is not good, I only read books every night, it's okay, you can rest assured." ”
The old lady didn't say much when she saw that she had an idea, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep, Ling Xiaoxiao saw that the old lady was tired and got up to turn off the lights in the room, took out her Walkman and put on the original English cassette she bought before, while training her ears, while doing special training in English.
Because she was going to Ancheng, Ling Xiaoxiao made more strict use of her time, changing the time of memorizing words after coming back from running to doing winter vacation homework, and carrying English words into flashcards with her, so that she could take a look at it when she was cooking on the fire.
Ling Xiaoxiao and Ye Ling spent a day to buy the shortage of New Year's goods and went to the store to help, one was responsible for the cashier, the other was responsible for guarding the door of the fitting room to count the clothes that everyone took in to try on, and Ling Ma and Aunt Ling were busy introducing styles and bargaining to customers.
Get up early and go to bed late every day, on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, Ling Xiaoxiao found that the fat on her waist had shrunk a circle, this discovery made her silly for a long time, she got up in the morning and ran to make her legs thinner and thinner, but because of less exercise on her waist, the fat is still firm, and the proportions of her body look a little uncoordinated......
Ling's mother's shop has not been open since the beginning of the thirties, and it is necessary to look at the situation on the street after the fifth day of the first month to decide the time to open the door, Ling's mother closed the store on the twenty-ninth day and began to sort out the accounts of the past few months, although the store has been opened for less than four months, but because of the aunt's aunt, the dividends to the people should not be less, so Ling's mother began to sort out the accounts after dinner, and the expenses and income are listed, in addition to the cost of each purchase, as well as the store rent and some wear and tear, Ling's mother was shocked after calculating, and she actually earned more than 50,000 yuan in the past few months.
When she and Ling's father both went to work before, the combined monthly salary of the two of them was not more than 2,000, which was still the salary after counting the bonus during her childbirth period, if it was usual, the two of them would earn less. Ling's mother didn't expect that she could make so much money doing business.
Set aside the payment for the goods, in addition to the salary paid to her aunt in the past few months, Ling's mother calculated and found that she also had to give her aunt a dividend of 6,000 yuan, which is what her aunt deserves, and if her aunt hadn't opened the store so dedicatedly in the past few months, the business would not have done so well.
