Chapter 104: Selling Couplets
The passage of the new year means that Chinese New Year's Eve is not far away. Everyone's face is filled with a cheerful smile, every family is busy with festive preparations, no matter whether the poor or the rich are in the same mood during the New Year, it is the same joy, and when preparing for the same candy, tobacco, alcohol and dishes, so there are always people coming and going on the street, and everyone brings large bags and small bags home. The smell of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and the breath of the New Year is getting closer and closer.
Yu Shuye really wants to stay with Qianxiao for the New Year and have a meaningful New Year, but unfortunately it is up to him, he is not in the army now, but he still has a military rank on his body, and he is still a soldier on the job. Yu Shuye really had no choice, and when Qianxiao came back, he had already left first, and he left a letter to Qianxiao when he arrived, explaining his last resort, of course, Yu Shuye, who was confidential, would not reveal this, and he still knew. Wei Yi should also temporarily receive a promotion order for Wei's father and Wei's mother to take office, and there is no way to rush back for the New Year, so let Wei Yi take Grandpa Wei and Grandma Huang to reunite with them over there, lest Uncle Wei's family not come back, Uncle Wei will not be at home, and the two old people will be lonely at home.
Liu Minghao is still there, but he also explained to Qianxiao that he had already bought a train ticket for Twenty-seven, as for why he didn't leave in advance, he just smiled and said that there were still things to be done.
All of a sudden, the company's shareholders were left with only four of them: Xiaoxiao, Qianyu, Li Li and Lin Jianjun. A bunch of people turned into a few people in a blink of an eye, and the lively and lively side was a lot more deserted, everyone was a little uncomfortable, there was no one to talk to each other*, even if they couldn't work hard, they always felt that something was missing, and occasionally they would unconsciously call out their names when doing things. It's scary to think about habits.
The door of the bubble tea shop officially ended the year's business on the 25th, and every employee was given a thick red envelope, and everyone gathered together to have a happy farewell meal before everyone left. After that, the list and number of employees who were going home for the New Year were gathered and reported to Qianxiao, who asked Liu Minghao to buy them a train ticket back to the city, and sent the people to the city bus safely; The two families who stayed behind also made proper arrangements. year, really coming.
Aunt Ge and Grandma Ge must stay in the bubble tea shop for the New Year, and they will not go back to their cold home without relatives. He also insisted on not closing the store. It is also said that people live in the store, and they have to open the door every day when they go in and out, so they are good to watch the store, and they work with nothing anyway, and if someone comes to buy and sell. Small money is also money, and after the New Year, other stores are closed, and our opening will also be an advertisement. It was useless to persuade Light Smile and Light Feather many times, and in the end, they just let them go, as long as they were happy. I really admire Aunt Ge and Grandma Ge's advanced consciousness. Who would have thought of such an advertisement in this era, or a middle-aged woman and an old man.
The bubble tea shop basically doesn't have a shallow smile and others now. There are not many people who buy milk tea, Aunt Ge and Grandma Ge have already wrapped up the circle, and they have also driven them out, saying that they will have a child like a child after the New Year. To have New Year's hopes and New Year's celebrations, not as listless as shallow smiles and others, every day is to stare at each other. Or they just take pleasure in counting money and lack the motivation to live. Xiaoxiao himself knows that it can't go on like this. We must find a way to find something to do for the remaining few people, otherwise we will raise people's inertia. But what to do? The New Year is coming soon, and it's cold. Nowadays, people are not interested in catching up with some novelty except for buying New Year's freight. Although the winter in the south is not like the north, when it comes to winter, there is a cold wind, goose feathers and heavy snow, which makes people shiver; There is very little snow in the winter in the south, and even if it does, it is snow, and it is still carrying rain, and it melts before it falls to the ground, and it cannot be accumulated. The winter in the south is that kind of clammy and cold, even if you wrap people up, you will still feel cold from the bones to the heart, not to mention that feeling is uncomfortable. Therefore, in the memory of light smile, winter is more boring, there is no activity, I wear a lot of clothes, wrapped like zongzi, and I think about heating in front of the boil (a large stove for heating) all day long, and I can't sleep lazily. The room also did not have the warm kang of the north, and it was cold and hot. Everyone either hugged the small hand stove to keep warm, or baked the fire in front of the brazier, or dozed off in front of the boil like a light smile. It's boring.
"Dangdang, meeting and meeting." smiled and jumped into the bubble tea shop.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here, come here to get warm." As soon as Mrs. Ge saw a shallow smile dressed like a bear, she wanted to nag Li Li for being pretty, and she wore too few clothes. "Still smile and know Grandma Ge's thoughts, winter must have a winter look, or how to distinguish the four seasons. Besides, now you are young, you are not afraid of the cold, and you don't like to wear more clothes, and at my age you are sick. You look at Xiaoli's little clothes every day, I don't listen to me, I began to know the stinky beauty at a young age, how can I think of the pain in the future. ”
"Grandma, you're nagging me again." Li Li smiled slowly, and when she walked to the house, she heard Mrs. Ge grunt dissatisfied. "You just see that my clothes are thin on the outside, but you don't see that my clothes are thick on the inside, don't say it's not the coldest time yet. I'm young and vigorous, what are you afraid of this little cold? ”
"It's not the coldest yet, but when is the coldest? Now it's more than sixty-nine, ninety-nine cold is cold from thirty-nine, five-nine-six-nine-seven-nine is the coldest, you little girl still doesn't know how to pretend to understand, it's not cold now, you have to tell me when it's the coldest? Grandma Ge said angrily: "You also know that you are strong in blood, so you tell me what is the reason for your strong blood and blood?" It's not because you have to have a healthy body. You are young and don't understand the importance of physical health, but at my age, everything is highlighted, and you know that you regret it. ”
"Grandma Ge drinks saliva to quench the fire, look at me, I listen to you the most, why are you bothering those disobedient? I don't have to make myself uncomfortable. "A light smile is just the right time to send a cup of hot water, a warm word. Of course, he also stepped on Li Li's kick in the round: "In the future, I will be your little granddaughter, if you want to train me, you can train me, I promise to obey." ”
"It's still the best to smile, I know the old man's heart, and I'll wait for Grandma Ge to bake sweet potatoes for you to eat." The old lady also took it when she saw it. In fact, Grandma Ge also knew that Li Li wore a lot of clothes, but after seeing the New Year, the family was all dignified, without a little spirit, and without the excitement and hope of the children to celebrate the New Year, she felt sad, and it was hard to say, only to take Li Li as a topic to vent her anger and ease the atmosphere. Speaking of which, Li Li also suffered from unjustified disasters.
smiled and coaxed Grandma Ge to be happy, and motioned everyone to hurry up with her eyes.
"You said that these children still treat me as old and dizzy, making small moves behind my back, and wasting all my hard work." Mrs. Ge looked at these children who slipped away faster than anyone else, and complained to Ge Chunmei: "And Xiaoxiao was still in front of me just now and said that he would obey the command, and in a blink of an eye, he was directing others to fight in the ring with me, it's true." One or two more like this, alas, how is it that no one knows my mind? ”
"You are kind, but every day like this, who does not know your mind. You just have to talk to me well, you don't have to pay attention to those little people, they have their own ideas, you talk a lot, everyone listens a lot, just mean it. "Ge Chunmei is busy with the things in her hands, these are all supplies to be used during the New Year, so you can't be careless.
"What's on my mind?" Mrs. Ge was pierced and refused to admit it.
Ge Chunmei didn't expose her meaning, but just followed Mrs. Ge's words and said: "Mom, don't worry too much, those children are all people with their own ideas, but they are a little uncomfortable when they are free, and they will be fine in a few days." Besides, didn't you hear Xiaoxiao talking about a meeting just now? I must have thought of some good idea again. You see, maybe you'll be refreshed when you come down. ”
"Yes, I'm just fooling around." Old Lady Ge listened to Ge Chunmei's words, and thought about her recent behavior, and grinned silently.
Upstairs, Li Li's room.
"What? You said you were going to sell couplets. Lin Jianjun looked disapproving, and his voice gradually became louder unconsciously: "You see that someone bought the couplet posted for the New Year, and didn't ask someone to write auspicious and festive blessings on the red paper and paste it on the door, you can't do it, you will definitely lose money." ”
"Little uncle, you haven't listened to my words, how do you know that it can't work." He refuted Lin Jianjun's words with a light smile very confidently, his bright eyes were crystal clear and radiating dazzling light. As attractive and bright as the stars in the sky. "The couplet I'm talking about is not an ordinary couplet, if it's an ordinary red paper and black letter, then it might as well not be sold, I want a special, beautiful, somewhere else's favorite couplet. If I hadn't gone to the training camp this time, and we didn't have enough manpower now, I would have to do a great job. ”
"A couplet also makes you do a great job, smile and laugh that you are not sick, right?" Li Li asked in surprise.
"Why don't you believe me, what I say is true." The distrust of his partners is discouraged, and there is a feeling of hitting the cotton with a fist.
"Xiaoxiao, I think this is good, you first make a sample of the couplet you want to sell to us and then decide. In this way, everyone has a bottom in their hearts, and they will not imagine it out of thin air. Asakura, who had been listening to the side all the time, said a compromise solution.
"Ah, look at me stupid, I forgot that I have to show you a sample before it can be convincing. Really, the brain doesn't have to be degenerated, thank you sister! Light smile has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, happily hugging the light feather and dancing and singing, and when the shallow feather is not paying attention, he quickly kissed the shallow feather on the face, laughed and let go of his hand, and ran away. Leaving a series of voices: "You wait for me to come back, there is a surprise!" (To be continued)
