Chapter 59: Idea
"I know you're a good boy, but I still have a way, so keep your stuff well." Wang sighed softly, "I hope God will be gracious soon, and it will rain soon, otherwise I may really have to be cheeky to move your dowry, but don't worry, I will definitely pay you back then." ”
"We are all a family, and it is right to help each other." Bai Jiujiu is not a person who sits idly by, originally she thought that she still had money at home, so she was not very urgent to improve the business of the store, but now it seems that I am afraid that it cannot be delayed any longer.
As soon as Xu Huaiqing returned home, he saw Bai Jiujiu sitting by the window with his brows furrowed, "But I have encountered something troublesome." ”
"Nope." Bai Jiujiu got up and walked to the table, pointing to the ointment on the table, "I boiled some more ointment for you, now I'll apply it to you." ”
Xu Huaiqing frowned, "Where does the family have the money to buy medicine for me now?" ”
After all, so many loads of grain in the warehouse are not from Baitun.
"Oh, these are all ointments that have been boiled before." Bai Jiujiu lowered his head and felt a little weak, not daring to look into his eyes.
Xu Huaiqing put the ointment on the table under his nose and sniffed it, and smiled coldly, "This ointment is still warm, and it must have just been boiled for a long time to smell this smell." ”
"I forgot, these are the new ones today." Bai Jiujiu hurriedly changed his words and tried to divert the topic.
Xu Huaiqing didn't speak with a cold face, Bai Jiujiu was most afraid of him like this, so he had to comfort him, "Actually, the family is not as bad as you imagined, your leg medicine can't be stopped, otherwise it will leave sequelae at that time, you see that your legs hurt when it's cold now, and it will be more serious when you get older." ”
Bai Jiujiu walked up to him with the ointment and squatted down to help him pull up the hem of his trousers, "Don't let us worry, okay?" ”
Xu Huaiqing's face softened slightly, "Don't think I don't know, you and your mother sold the jewelry." ”
"You...... How do you know. Bai Jiujiu thought they were hiding it well.
"I'm such a useless man who actually let my mother and wife suffer for me."
Xu Huaiqing hugged his head, and a look of pain flashed on his always cold face.
"Don't say that, days like this will pass quickly." Bai Jiujiu didn't know how to comfort him.
Because Xu Huaiqing was in a bad mood and worried about money, Bai Jiujiu didn't sleep well all night.
The next day, Wang saw Bai Jiujiu's eyes black and blue, and there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "I'll go boil an egg for you and make up for it." ”
Bai Jiujiu looked at the Wang family suspiciously, but the smile on Wang's face became brighter and brighter, "You and Huaiqing are so affectionate, I may have to hug my grandson soon." ”
It turned out that the Wang family had misunderstood, and Bai Jiujiu suddenly blushed, but he didn't know how to explain it. Although she and Xu Huaiqing have become husband and wife, they have never done that kind of thing, Xu Huaiqing is even more self-denying and courteous, and never takes a step beyond the thunder pool.
"Another day, I have to worship Puji Temple well, and ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to let me hold my grandson as soon as possible."
Something flashed in Bai Jiujiu's mind, and he hurriedly grabbed Wang's sleeve, "Mother, what did you just say?" Say it again, okay? ”
"I said I should be able to hold my grandson soon." Wang repeated it for unknown reasons.
"I'm not asking about this sentence, it should be the previous sentence."
"Oh, I said I was going to Puji Temple to have a good worship, the Bodhisattva there is the most spiritual."
Bai Jiujiu suddenly brightened up, and she seemed to have found a way to make money.
"Mother, I think the more you get to the time of suffering, the more you believe in the gods."
Wang nodded thoughtfully, "That's not it, everyone is not living well, so naturally they pin their hopes on the gods, don't you see, there have been more and more people going to the temple to pray recently, and I almost didn't even squeeze the door when I went last time. Get in. ”
"Maybe we can start with this and improve the business of the store."
"I can't understand what you're saying."
Bai Jiujiu carefully said his thoughts to the Wang family, "Everyone is reluctant to buy our embroidery now, because life is not good now, but if we have a batch of handkerchiefs, embroider some scriptures on them, prayer sentences, or embroider some Buddha statues, according to the psychology of everyone's gods, maybe someone is willing to buy it." ”
Wang felt that although Bai Jiujiu was quite reasonable, he was still a little skeptical.
"Anyway, let's give it a try."
Wang's questioning Bai Jiujiu can also understand, after all, this idea has never been implemented, in case it doesn't work, it will only make the backlog of embroidery in the store one more point. But in the current situation, if you don't give it a try, it's not a way to still sit on the silver at home.
Bai Jiujiu is a person who will do whatever he thinks of, and he rushed out more than 20 embroidered handkerchiefs that night.
Seeing that she was so active, Wang was also motivated, and followed the embroidery of seven or eight.
The two of them came to the market with embroidered handkerchiefs, and Wang looked worried when he saw the people coming and going to pray for blessings.
"Do you think these people will buy our embroidered handkerchiefs? I've never seen anyone sell any prayer embroidered handkerchiefs here. ”
Bai Jiujiu was actually very worried in his heart, but in order to make the Wang family feel at ease, he could only make a very sure look. Originally, the Wang family wanted to take the embroidered handkerchief to the store, and there was no need to come out in person.
It's just that Bai Jiujiu feels that there are few people in the store now, and it is better to go to the temple than to take it to the store, after all, a place with a lot of people is conducive to their sales, and her handkerchief is also just aimed at this group of people seeking Buddha.
"Mother, don't worry, our embroidered handkerchief will definitely be sold out."
Although those few words were affirmative, they had been standing there all morning, and no one came to buy them. Rao is Bai Jiujiu's mentality is good, but he can't hold it back.
At this time, it was the sky, and the weather was very hot, Wang wiped the sweat on his face, and pushed Bai Jiujiu under the shade of the tree, "Why don't you go and rest first, it's not good to faint after being exposed to the sun for so long." ”
"No need, mother." Bai Jiujiu shook her head, she knew that it was not a way to continue like this, she originally wanted to sell loudly, but when she thought that this was in front of the Buddha Gate, it was probably not good to make a loud noise, so she dispelled this idea again.
In front of the Buddha Gate......
Bai Jiujiu looked at the women who came and went to offer incense, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.
"Mother, I will hand you the embroidered handkerchief in my hand, and someone will definitely come to you to buy it."
