Chapter 209: Grown Up
It is said that as early as after the successful opening of Tianshang Embroidery Village, the Tian family was tempted to open a shop, but a few years have passed, and every year this matter has been stranded for one reason or another.
In addition, opening a store is not about opening it, the location of the store, what it sells, and who is used in the store, all aspects must be considered clearly, although the Tian family wants to open, but there are still some drums in their hearts, they are afraid that the store will not be opened, and they will lose money to enter, so don't you have to try.
Now Lao Luotou has been knighted, and Xia Zhi has been crowned the county lord. In order to prevent the family from being too cheap in some places, the Li family detained the Tian family and did not allow them to do the previous things. There are little maids and maids added to the house, and some housework does not need them to do it, and the family has nothing to do all day long, and it is very boring.
I don't know how many people in big families want to live such a life, but the Tian family is different, they were born in the countryside, grew up in the countryside, and their ancestors have been eating in the field for generations. Whether it is the education of the elders or their own perceptions, knowing from an early age is the truth of hard work and harvest. Let them do nothing all day long, I am afraid that the elderly Li and Lao Luo are a little powerless, but others are not willing to live such a life.
The four brothers of the Butian family together wanted to find something to do, so when it came to opening a shop, they were listened to by the Lin family. During this period of time, because of the maid to help take care of the child, she was really a lot more relaxed, as soon as this person was idle, she felt that her body bones were rusty, and her whole body was uncomfortable. Just as he was thinking about finding something to do, he heard the discussion between the four brothers, and he was right in the middle of it.
At that moment, the Lin family brought the Wang, Lin, and Zheng families to make an appointment to open a store. The Zheng family and the Wang family are naturally very willing, and the Tian family has been getting better and better in recent years. Li is not a stingy mother-in-law. Several people actually had a sum of money in their hands. Because the Tian family is also doing very well, they don't have to worry about it, so they naturally want to think about how to make money.
Only Liu was a little hesitant, saying that he would not be willing until Tian Laosan nodded, but Liu was naturally very willing in his heart. It is said that the best way to make money is to buy land with the safest insurance, but the Tian family has enough fields now, plus the 10,000 acres of land rewarded to the summer solstice, it is really too busy.
The Tian family is not what it used to be. It's not that they can't afford to hire people, but the matter of opening a store is difficult for their daughters. However, the Lin family is a woman after all, and they are inevitably a little apprehensive and worried, and the consequence of their timidity is to open a grocery store, specializing in collecting surplus and useless items from farmers, selling them to people in need, and collecting the difference from the middle. Although the benefits are less, the victory is stable.
The people of Shili and Eight Villages also know their Lao Tian family, as long as the news spreads, they are not afraid that there will be no business to come to their door. Xu Xu Tuzhi will always earn back the cost of buying a store. These few daughters-in-law vacated the shop, and the Tian family went to cheer. Xia Zhi and Lin Yunlei could only run back and forth.
When Xia Zhi rushed back to Niangniang Town again, it was already in the afternoon. While walking and asking for directions, Xia Zhi and Lin Yunlei finally arrived at the Tianjia grocery store. Because of the layout of Niangniang Town, when the Lin family bought the store, it was set on North Street. Although it was already early afternoon, the first day of opening, the grocery store seemed to be doing very well, and at this moment it was still a lively scene, with a constant stream of people coming and going.
Xia Zhi really didn't expect that the second shop of the Tian family was actually opened by a few female streamers of the Lin family, and suddenly there was a feeling in my heart that my family had just grown up, happy at the same time, but also a little lost, and the sour and astringent taste came to my heart.
Seeing her expression, Lin Yunlei gently rubbed Xia Zhi's head and pulled her into the grocery store. The shopkeeper in the shop may have heard the name of the summer solstice and knew the lord of Fuxiang, but he had definitely never seen the summer solstice. Seeing that the two of them were dressed well and were not carrying the things they were selling, they took it for granted that the two of them were customers who patronized the Tian family's grocery store.
If you want to talk about a grocery store, most of the people who come and go are some farmers. But because of Lao Luotou and the summer solstice, the Tianjia shop opened, and people with a little foundation within a radius of 100 miles gave congratulatory gifts. Therefore, the shopkeeper took it for granted that it was normal for Xia Zhi and Lin Yunlei to patronize the Tian family's grocery store.
"What do you want to buy?" The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and beckoned Xia Zhi and Lin Yunlei to walk to the shelves to look at the goods. Xia Zhi didn't know anything, only looked up at the scene in the grocery store, the grocery store is not very big, about forty square meters, there are rows of shelves in it, most of the shelves in front are oil and salt and other necessities, and the back shelves are some daily necessities, there are baskets and bamboo baskets, ceramic crockpots and bowls and other things, and even some old farm tools.
Xia Zhi has to admire the Lin family, although these things look inconspicuous, but they are indispensable in life, and there are still a few rich people in the world, most of them are some farmers, although they are hungry and have two surplus money, but they are reluctant to use them, and they can't afford to buy new farm tools. Wealthy farmers have a headache for the old farm tools that need to be repaired every year, and they are reluctant to throw them away, and they have to be renovated every year if they don't throw them away, so the money for renovations in a few years is enough to buy new farm tools.
Didn't the Lin family open their shop just right, helped both sides solve the problem, and charged the difference, which was really mutually beneficial.
The shopkeeper looked around when he saw the summer solstice, but he didn't say that he wanted to buy anything, and he wasn't in a hurry, he only carefully talked about what things were in the Tianjia grocery store when the summer solstice arrived, which ones were new, and which ones came from the farmers. Xia Zhi nodded secretly in his heart, the store is opening well, and the second child in the store is also good.
Just when the summer solstice was about to say that they didn't buy anything, they just wanted to find someone, when they suddenly heard an exclamation,
"Sixth sister, you're back!" Xia Zhi subconsciously wanted to cover her ears, and she didn't have to look back, she knew that this person was none other than Tian Xiaoman. Sure enough, as soon as Xia Zhi turned around, he saw Tian Xiaoman's eyes staring, looking incredulous.
"Xiaoman!" Xia Solstice greeted with a smile.
"Ah......, eldest sister, second sister, third sister...... Shocked brother, the sixth sister is back-" The magic sound pierced the brain, and Xia Zhi covered his ears and thought.
"Where? Where? Where did the sixth sister come from? "The first to run out was Tian Jingjing.
"Sixth sister! Sixth sister! "Then Tian Liqiu and Tian Bailu came out together, because the summer solstice has often been gone for more than half a year in the past two years, Tian Liqiu's sister is very competent and takes care of Tian Bailu very well.
……
Seeing her sisters and sisters, Xia Zhi was naturally happy, trotting together with them, listening to them chatter about what happened at home after she left, looking at the excited smiling faces, Xia Zhi felt that he was complete, and the sourness in his heart just now came and went without a trace.
"Thank you Uncle Lin for sending the sixth sister back, Grandpa and Grandma are in the inner courtyard, I'll lead you over! Okay, don't surround the sixth sister, grandma, they don't know that the sixth sister is back! ”
Twelve-year-old Tian Lichun has begun to take on the appearance of a girl, speaking and doing things more like a little adult, Wang has more or less let her understand the family's rice, oil and salt, and began to teach her how to run the house.
Although Xia Zhi felt that Tian Lichun was still young, most of the women of the Wu Dynasty began to discuss marriage, and most of them waited until they were sixteen or seventeen years old to get married, and most of them only stayed until they were eighteen years old, and if they didn't marry after the age of eighteen, they would be old girls. Thinking that she would inevitably suffer this in the future, Xia Zhi suddenly looked at Lin Yunlei with a little concern.
Xia Zhi followed Tian Lichun into the inner hall, and Lin Yunlei followed closely into the inner hall. The old Luo Tou of the Li family was very happy to see them, and the Li family has been talking about the summer solstice for the past few days, and he didn't know when he would come back, but he didn't expect to catch up with today.
Xia Zhi threw herself into Li's arms and twisted for a while, muttering and blaming her for not telling her about opening a shop, causing her to run back to Tianjia Village and back again.
Li pinched her little nose funny, scolded her for being a lazy girl, walked a little more and came to her to complain, so that Zheng would treat the summer solstice well in the future, don't become a lazy girl, then it will be a loss for adults. Zheng nodded and said yes, and the group couldn't even raise the head of Xia Zhi's joke, so they let her go and talked about Lin Yunlei.
Xia Zhi was hugged by the Li family, looking at everyone smiling like flowers, happy and happy. If you have relatives and lovers by your side, and you can watch them happy, I believe you will feel happy. Xia Zhi felt that since she came to the Tian family four years ago, God promised her a happy life, and with her unremitting efforts, she gained family affection and love. Although he has no friends, Xia Solstice is not greedy, and this is enough.
It is said that the fastest and slowest in the world, the longest and shortest, the most ordinary and the most precious, the most neglected and the most regrettable is time. Xia Zhi didn't expect that three years had passed in a blink of an eye. Sitting in the carriage with the maid Xia Hua, Xia Zhi secretly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bustling crowd outside, the afternoon sun was very dazzling, and after looking out for a long time, his eyes felt a little uncomfortable.
Xia is thirteen years old this year, and she is already a graceful girl, and the Zheng family has long been detained and does not let her run casually, but since the county lord's mansion on the summer solstice was completed in the county two years ago, Xia Zhi is willing to stay here most of the time, there are no elders to take care of her, she can do whatever she wants, of course, Xia Solstice is still measured, what to do, what not to do, she knows very well in her heart.
Because of staying in the county for a long time, Xia Zhi is very close to Ning Yan, remembering that Ning Yan said that she would prepare things for Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi wanted to laugh, she has been in the county for a long time in the past two years, and she will only go back once during the New Year. Except for Ning Yan in the county, she didn't know anyone else, and the summer solstice was boring, so she could only harass the county keeper and get some good things from him from time to time.
And because of harassing the county guard from time to time, Xia Zhi actually chatted with Ning Yan's granddaughter Ning Qing, and the two became good friends who talked about everything. Three years ago, she thought that having no friends did not mean that she was lonely, because she had loved ones and relatives. Three years later, she thanked God and secretly prayed that she would cherish this friendship. (To be continued......)
