Seeing that it was almost the Lunar New Year, Lin Yao recently accompanied Chang Annie to see Li Yuan's training every day.

That afternoon, Lin Yao had just separated from Anne and Li Yuan, Li Qiang, and Yang Fan, and turned around and rode to the department store to see her mother.

When Lin Yao's mother first came to Tangcheng, she worked as a temporary cleaner in Lin Yao's uncle's unit.

The job of a temporary cleaner is not well paid, the work is too tiring, and the working hours are long.

A few months ago, Lin Yao's little uncle took out a total of 180,000 yuan of his savings from working for many years and lent it to Lin Yao's mother.

Lin Yao's mother used that money. I bought a 15-square-meter shop in a department store in the center of the city, and returned to my old business, starting a boutique selling clothes and triminkets in Pengzhou.

The road was surprisingly cold, Lin Yao pulled the zipper of the cotton jacket with her hand while riding, and 10 minutes later, she arrived at the department store.

The central air conditioning of the department store was so warm, as soon as she entered the door, a warm current came to her face, Lin Yao happily jumped up to the second floor by elevator, and came to her own boutique at the corner of the second floor.

This is a small storefront, but the location is excellent, as soon as you get out of the corner of the elevator, the first thing is that there is a sign with colorful lights hanging in front of the store - Yaoyao clothing boutique.

On the left side of the store, there are three rows of Korean clothes from top to bottom, and half on the right side are trinkets, earrings, bracelets, and so on. The other half is a row of floor-to-ceiling hangers with dozens of clothes hanging from them.

At the end of the front of the store is a small cash register, in which there is a double red sofa, when school starts, every time Lin Yao gets out of school, he sits on this sofa and lies on the cash register to write homework.

"Yaoyao, why didn't you go home?" Mom asked.

"I'll accompany you, when you get off work, we can go to the vegetable market next to us to buy some vegetables and New Year's goods, how can you get so much by yourself, I'll help you get something!" Lin Yao said to her mother with a smile.

"Mom can be alone, it's cold, you drive back to the road, don't freeze and catch a cold, it's about to be the New Year, wouldn't it be troublesome to catch a cold." Mom said.

Lin Yao is filial and obedient, which is the happiest and most gratifying thing for Lin's mother.

Mother Lin is the kind of woman who is very traditional, the kind of mother who lives for her family and children.

No matter how difficult life is, Mother Lin never thought of giving up Lin Yao's custody.

It is really not easy to survive alone with children, and Lin Yao also sees and remembers her mother's dedication.

The reason why Lin Yao studied extra hard was because of this, Lin Yao knew that it was not easy for her mother to take her alone, she didn't want to live up to her mother's hard work, and she was determined to take care of her mother forever and protect her mother.

"Mom, how is business today?"

"Business has been good in the last few days, and you just had a wave of customers before you came." Mom said as she placed goods on top of the hanger from a row of boxes behind the couch.

Lin Yao threw her schoolbag on the red sofa, rolled up her sleeves and helped her mother load the goods together.

"Mom, will you go to the Yanjing Zoo Clothing Wholesale Market to batch goods a year ago?" Lin Yao asked while opening the plastic bag on the outside of the clothing.

"Well, I'm also looking at the situation of selling goods in the past few days, the goods have indeed sold much faster than expected in the past two days, if this continues, my mother will definitely go to Yanjing to batch goods before the New Year." Mom bent over, picked up the contents of the carton and said.

"Then go, a little more, I'll go with you, I can help you carry the goods." Lin Yao said while hanging clothes on the floor hanger.

Lin Yao knew that her mother would go to Yanjing once a month to buy goods, but in those days, there was no express delivery, postal delivery, and the postage was very expensive.

Although Yanjing is so close to Tangcheng, less than 130 kilometers away, the postage is still surprisingly expensive, so Lin Yao's mother only sends half of the postal service every time, and the remaining half is personally brought back from Tangcheng by her mother's two hands.

Lin Yao had seen the scene when her mother had just come back from Yanjing wholesale clothes, just like a famine in the famine years.

Each time there are 3-4 huge black plastic bags, how big is it, each weighing 20-30 pounds, and the volume of a single plastic bag is the size of a single sofa.

Mother's thin body, carrying nearly hundreds of pounds of goods, Lin Yao was very distressed.

So later, Lin Yao often took advantage of the weekend to accompany her mother to Yanjing to wholesale goods.

Two people with four hands, obviously much easier, and Lin Yao has practiced boxing since she was a child, although she looks thin, her strength is very great.

Lin Yao was holding the new goods in her hand, and there was a sound of chattering girls chatting behind her, and the sound was getting closer and closer to her ears.

"The store I'm talking about is in front, hurry up, hahahaha~" said a high-pitched girl's voice.

"Slow down, wait for me!"

"Her clothes are the latest goods from Dongdaemun, South Korea, and they are all worn by the heroines in Korean dramas, I see that the green cotton clothes worn by Cui Zhiyou in "Winter Love Song" are good-looking, hurry up, hurry up! Hahahaha"

As soon as the words fell, two girls, holding Lebuck's coffee cups, ran in with their front and back feet giggling.

One of the girls wearing a pink down jacket saw a green cotton suit that Lin Yao had just put on the floor hanger, and said, "This is it, it's exactly the same as the one Cui Zhiyou was wearing, how good you look."

After saying that, she took two steps up and picked up the cotton coat she liked from the floor hanger.

"Two girls, if you like it, you can try it." Mother Lin said warmly and politely.

"Well, okay." Another girl in a white down jacket and a red beanie hat put the coffee in her hand on the cash register and said.

"Sister, let's try it, but don't be angry if we don't buy it!" The girl in pink said cautiously.

"No, no. It doesn't matter if you buy it or not, you can wear it and try it, I'm not that kind of boss, the kind of customer who gets angry and scolds if he doesn't buy it. Mother Lin greeted her and said softly.

The two girls excitedly tried on the same cotton suit and stood in front of the mirror to look around.

"This cotton suit, there are two colors, one yellow and one rose, which are also very good-looking, do you want to take a look? Before I could put the goods on the table, you came. Mother Lin said with a smile.

"Oh, no, no. I just like the green one, big sister, how much does this padded dress cost? The girl in white said.

The girl in pink bumped the girl in white with her elbow and said, "It seems that the fabric is a little thin, I don't know if it will be a little cold if I buy it for the New Year."

"This cotton coat 580, it won't be cold, the New Year, the temperature will rise, and the filling inside this cotton suit is the most popular Sambas silk cotton in South Korea this year, which is light and warm, 50% lighter than the domestic space cotton, but the warmth is very good, and it will definitely not be cold." Mother Lin said enthusiastically to the two girls.

"580, won't it be too expensive, please, don't fool me, this kind of clothes is more than 200 at most in the Yanjing Zoo Wholesale Market." The girl in pink said as she pushed the frame of her glasses.

"Yes, the cotton clothes at Yanjing Zoo are very cheap, and I know that there is nothing wrong with that, but my goods are not wholesaled from the zoo, they are directly from Dongdaemun, South Korea, and the fabrics, materials, and fillings are ......different," my mother turned on the big flicker mode with experience.

Lin Yao heard it in her ears, and secretly thought in her heart, her mother is a veteran in selling clothes, and she has more than ten years of experience, so she really fools people with a set, hahaha.

"Oh, that's right, it's really not the same up close, Korean clothes are indeed better than domestic styles, and the fabrics are better, but they are too expensive, and we may not be able to afford them." The girl in white said.

"That's it, eldest sister, see that you buy sincerely, today is also a business before work, 520 pieces. The eldest sister got off work. ”

"Sister, let's be cheaper, it's so expensive, we're still college students, we don't make any money, we can't afford it." The girl in pink pulled Mother Lin's sleeve with two hands and said coquettishly.

"400 pieces, let's take two, okay, please, please sister." The girl in white chimed in.

"400 is really not good, 400 I have no profit, I'll give you a real bottom, the wholesale price of this dress from Dongdaemun, South Korea is 400, not counting the postage, the eldest sister also has to support the family, can't you not let the eldest sister earn a penny, right?" Mother Lin took out the skills of housekeeping.

"900 two, okay?" The two girls said in unison.

"Two pieces of 1,000 yuan, the lowest, it's not easy for the eldest sister, you also let the eldest sister eat!" Mom is engaged in the final psychological game.

"Is this good, 950, okay, let's make a step by ourselves, we don't say 900, you don't say 1000, let's take a step by one, how about it?" The girl in pink seems to have come up with the ultimate killer feature.

"Okay, look at you as children, it's almost the New Year. The eldest sister will earn less, you have classmates and friends or something, remember to bring it over to the eldest sister, this time I will be the eldest sister and make you two friends! ”

"Thank you, eldest sister, I wish you a lot of money, and it will be sold out of stock a year ago!" The two girls smiled and walked away with their new cotton clothes.

"950 yes, that's a lot of money, Mom, you're so good. How much do we earn with these two clothes? Lin Yao said with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Guess?" Mom said mysteriously while counting the money.

"I should be able to earn more than 200."

"Multiply by two." Mom said with a smile smirked.

"Wow, long live Mommy, we're rich!" Lin Yao happily picked up her mother and spun around on the ground.

At that time, the monthly salary of civil servants in Tangcheng was about 1800-2000, and Lin Yao's mother earned 500 yuan in one business, which was quite an amazing income.

"At that time, when I bought this shop, your brother-in-law took out all the money of his wife who had saved it for many years, how could my mother not work hard, I had to save enough money as soon as possible, and return the money to your brother-in-law, who will buy a house in the future, get married, and have more places to use the money." Mom looked at Lin Yao and said seriously.

Mom took out a 50 from the cash register, handed it to Lin Yao and said, "You take this 50, Mom hasn't given you pocket money for a long time, you take it, buy yourself something you like, or invite Anne to eat KFC."

"Long live Mommy!" Lin Yao flew happily.

In the department store, the music for getting off work was played, and Lin Yao and her mother packed up the plastic bags on the ground, ready to go grocery shopping after work.

At this moment, two uninvited guests suddenly came to the door of the store, and Lin Yao squatted on the ground and saw two pairs of cotton shoes worn by the old man entering the store.

When I looked up, it was Lin Yao's grandmother and grandfather.
