Chapter Twenty-Six: The Uninvited Guest
After listening to my words, my dad's "snort" and "snort" came to an abrupt end.
Widow Zhang also looked at me with a blank expression.
I forced a smile, tugged at my dad's sleeve, and whispered, "When you reprimanded me just now, you said that I have your blood in my body, can't I borrow some money now?" Are you still my own dad? ”
It's not just that you're going to oppress people with blood ties.
I, Shen Jiang, am not a fool.
Now, let you taste the oppression of blood.
It was a little later before my dad found his voice, "That'...... My salary has also been paid off, and now ...... Not much money......"
"So, Dad, you're just going to discipline me? And can't help me in any way? I looked at him with a sad face.
My dad looked at Widow Zhang in a daze, as if asking her if she wanted to take out some money.
Widow Zhang winked at my father, and then looked at me with a sad face, "Xiao Jiang, it's not that Aunt Zhang doesn't help you, it's not easy at home, your sister is not in good health, she was hospitalized a few days ago, we all borrowed money to live, your grandparents are also old, you have to send some money back every month, there is not much left at home, and you can't make ends meet." How can you sell some milk tea, at least you can make some money, we can all count on your father's dead salary. ”
"But you can still afford to buy clothes and drink milk tea." I sighed, and my eyes fell on the bags of clothes that Widow Zhang had tried to hide.
Don't keep taking other people for fools, okay?
"Ah, Aoife's clothes." At this time, Su Wen suddenly pointed to one of the white packaging bags and said, "I have bought her clothes, and a gown costs more than 20 yuan, which is not cheap." ”
The crowd in the bubble tea shop, who had been watching the excitement, nodded suddenly, and then looked at Widow Zhang's eyes, which was a little ridiculous.
I turned my head and smiled thanksgivingly at Su Wen.
Su Wen stuck out his tongue at me, quite naughty.
"This ...... This is just packaging, the clothes are bought at the stall, and the boss will take the packaging......" Widow Zhang blushed and forcibly defended.
But no one believed it anymore.
I saw that my father lowered his head in shame, and he didn't breathe anymore, but smiled, stood up, and continued to entertain guests.
Widow Zhang was still trying to explain, but Zhang Qiongyu suddenly pulled her arm, threw away the milk tea in her hand, and said in a stiff tone, "Mom, don't say it, let's go." ”
Widow Zhang blushed, knowing that it was not advisable to stay for long, and stood up.
The family of three walked to the door, pushed open the glass door, and the surging heat wave came, and Widow Zhang was smart, her hand shook, and the glass door closed again.
"Wow, it's hot." Zhang Xiaofei, who was sitting at the door, jumped up as if she had been stung by a scorpion, ran to the deepest part of the bubble tea shop in three steps and two steps, and sat down with a comfortable face, "It's still cool inside." ”
Zhang Qiongyu stood between my father and Widow Zhang, biting her lower lip, looking at me with a solemn face, and then at Zhang Xiaofei, who looked comfortable, with anger in her eyes.
"It's too hot." Widow Zhang was also there and muttered, "It's strange to stay in this house, and you can also make money by selling milk tea, Shen Jiang's mind is really clever, if only we could open a store like this." ”
"The family's savings were given to Liu Huimei before, and now they have to pay child support every month, where is the money." My dad pulled the widow's hand a little impatiently, and with the other hand slammed open the door, "Let's go, let's go." ”
Isn't it enough to be ashamed here?
"...... you," Widow Zhang looked dissatisfied and looked at my dad complainingly, "Why did you give them all the money before?" If you don't give them the money, and then ask for that recipe, we will open this shop, and we will make this money......"
After that, I can't hear it.
Standing in the aisle, I only saw Widow Zhang looking up and down this bubble tea shop with a salivating face, and finally fixed my eyes on the signboard of "Seven Alleys Lattice Shop".
"Sister, what are they doing?" Shen Bi greeted the classmates, approached me, and asked with an indignant expression.
"What kind of moth can there be, but I can't see that we are good, and I want to take advantage of it." I said lightly.
In my dad's heart, although my mother's money is in my mother's hands, it is still his, so he will be so angry when he hears that I have spent it in one go.
Of course, the fear that I would go to him and ask for money also accounted for a large part.
As for Zhang Qiongyu, she gradually stiffened because she used to treat me as a part-time worker, but later learned that the store was mine, and she still drank the milk tea I made.
You really deserve it!
I smiled coldly, turned around and smiled apologetically at Fang Qisheng, Su Wen and the others, "Let you laugh." ”
Su Wen waved his hand to say that it was okay, and Fang Qisheng also smiled comfortingly at me.
Because the "First Order of the Day" activity is quite powerful, and our stall has accumulated some popularity before, even on the first day of opening, Qixiang milk tea has attracted a lot of customers.
However, it didn't make any money.
When I counted the accounts with my mother in the evening, I found that not only did I not make any money, but I also lost more than ten yuan.
My mother's tears of distress were about to fall.
I hurriedly comforted her and promised that I would double my earnings in the future, and my mother wiped away her tears.
Because I was quite tired after a busy day, my mother ate a few things for dinner, and then they all rested.
The next day, the bubble tea shop was open as usual, but instead of continuing to help, I went to the place where the jewelry was wholesaled.
Before, because I was in a hurry to sell iced milk tea on a hot day, I only renovated the half of the milk tea, and the seven-lane lattice shop was still a semi-finished product, and I originally expected to officially open the lattice shop in a week.
But now, seeing Widow Zhang's eyes, I feel a little uneasy, and I feel that it is better to open as soon as possible.
After urging the decoration master to put the lattice in place as soon as possible, I went to the largest jewelry wholesale department in the county to pick out some beautiful jewelry.
Maybe it's because my vision is too avant-garde, and I can't always pick out the better-looking jewelry in a group of goods.
In the end, I only wholesaled some relatively pleasing ones, then bought some ribbons or something, and some small plastic accessories, and came back from the wholesale department.
When I was pregnant in later life, I saw my neighbor wear a bow made of ribbons, with various diamonds or plastic accessories on it, to make that kind of beautiful hairpin, quite literary style, and was deeply liked by little girls.
Now there is no good-looking jewelry, so I simply make it myself, I don't believe it, more than ten years later, the aesthetics can't conquer the current girl.
It's just that in this way, the milk tea shop is quite busy, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaofei often comes to blow the wind, and when she sees that the store is too busy, she also follows the handle, and she doesn't want any salary, just ask for free milk tea and ice porridge.
I agreed, and then concentrated on the lattice shop in the seventh lane.
Because I didn't have time to do much, I didn't do much, so I got about thirty or forty hairpins, packed them in plastic bags, sandwiched them on the wall, and matched them with some wholesale finished products, even if it was opened.
This time, I didn't call my relatives and friends, and I didn't give any discounts, I just made an advertisement in the bubble tea shop, and I didn't care anymore.
On the whole, lattice shops are not as hot as bubble tea shops, after all, the jewelry market is only for young women, but milk tea and ice porridge are loved by everyone.
I'm not in a hurry, while helping the bubble tea shop, I pinched the bow there when I had time, and if there were no guests during the period, Zhang Xiaofei and Shen Bi also came over to follow the pinch, but they were too ugly, I didn't sell it in the grid, so I let them take it and wear it themselves.
Zhang Xiaofei and Shen Bi are very happy, which young girl doesn't love beauty, even my mother, after I gave her a burgundy hairpin, she blushed and put it on herself.
The days passed like this, and just when I thought that Widow Zhang and my father had finally found out their conscience and let us go, my grandfather and my grandmother came.
My grandmother is still the same old temper, and as soon as she walked in, she yelled, "I heard that you opened a store and spent all your money, why are you so bold, you are not afraid of losing your pants." ”
"Wife, what are you talking about?" Because Widow Zhang accidentally misunderstood me when she had a "miscarriage" last time, my grandfather looked at me with a very kind gaze, "Xiao Jiang is a smart child, what to do must be in his heart, we are here to see the children today, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." ”
"Who said nonsense." My grandmother was a little angry, so she found a place to sit down, "Hurry up and bring me milk tea, you have been in business for so long, and you don't know how to send some samples to your elders, why are you so unfilial." ”
Shen Bi was unceremoniously stomped by my grandmother's unceremonious feet.
I grabbed her arm and pushed her into the kitchen, "Bring out two cups of milk tea, with a little less ice." ”
"Xiao Jiang, this kid is caring, and when he's old, he really can't drink too much ice." My grandfather looked at me with satisfaction.
I smiled, took the milk tea from Shen Bi's hand, inserted the straw with my own hands, and handed it to my grandfather and my grandmother, "Grandpa, try the milk tea I made." ”
My grandmother "hummed", took it, took a sip, and spit it out, "What does this taste like, milk or not, tea or tea, why is it so unpleasant." ”
There were many people in the store who came to drink milk tea, and when they saw my grandmother like this, they all froze.
My face was also a little unsightly, so I took a rag and quickly wiped the milk tea that my grandmother spit out, and said softly as much as possible, "Grandma, this is milk tea, if you can't get used to it, I'll squeeze some juice for you." ”
"I don't drink anymore." My grandmother angrily threw the milk tea on the table, "Tell your mother to squeeze watermelon juice for me, I want to drink watermelon juice." ”
I hurriedly went to the kitchen and squeezed the watermelon juice by hand and sent it over.
My grandmother sucked the watermelon juice with satisfaction, her eyes swirled around the milk tea shop, and finally froze at the same door between the seven-lane milk tea shop and the seven-lane lattice shop, "Shen Jiang, I heard that your shop is still empty?" What are you doing empty? Isn't that a waste? ”
