When she returned home, Mrs. Song saw that her daughter's face was red and swollen, so she asked the reason, and Song Dongmei said that she was beaten by Sun Guiying.

Mrs. Song asked, "Why did the second daughter-in-law beat you?" ”

How can I say this, if I tell the truth, Mrs. Song will know that I went to find someone to propose marriage.

"I hugged the child for my second sister-in-law and accidentally made the child cry."

Song Dongmei panicked, and Mrs. Song pointed her finger at her head and said, "You are not too young, you can't even hold a child, what do you want?" ”

Song Dongmei's grievances were even greater, she covered her face and rushed into the house, covered her head with the quilt and whimpered and cried.

Mrs. Song put the meal on the table at the head of the bed, turned around and left.

Song Dongmei smelled the smell of rice, couldn't hold back it anymore, quickly got up and gobbled it up in one gobble, ate and drank enough, and fell asleep when she was sleepy and tired.

In the afternoon, Song Qiuyue went back to her parents' house, and quietly told Mrs. Song about Song Dongmei's proposal, and Mrs. Song was immediately angry, picked up a stick in the yard, and rushed into the house noisily.

"Shameless dead Nizi, if your wings are stiff, you will go to your in-laws' house, your mother will pull you up with a handful of shit and urine, you actually learned to find a man, see if I don't kill you!"

The stick "crackled" and slapped on Song Dongmei's body, and Song Dongmei screamed in pain.

Song Qiuyue saw that Mrs. Song was almost out of strength when she was fighting, so she went up to pull the fight, "Mom, forget it, don't fight, Dongmei is young and ignorant, don't break it." ”

"If you go to find a man when you're young, if you're older, you can't go to heaven?"

Originally, Mrs. Song was discouraged, but when Song Qiuyue persuaded her like this, Mrs. Song suddenly had a burst of anger, and she instantly gained strength, and the stick in her hand was picked up fiercely.

After the second round, Mrs. Song had no strength at all, so she sat on the ground and cried, "Why did I raise this unpromising Nizi, her third brother and fourth brother have no object, so she wants to find a man." ”

Song Qiuyue persuaded: "Mom, you beat and beat, don't be angry, you are shouting like this, how bad it is for people to hear." ”

Mrs. Song thought to herself, if outsiders knew about it, she wouldn't lose the dead.

Song Qiuyue hugged Mrs. Song, and the two of them hid under the big tree in the yard and whispered.

Mrs. Song said: "Qiuyue, it's fortunate that you came to tell me, otherwise this damn girl might have done something embarrassing." ”

Song Qiuyue said: "Mom, Dongmei already has this heart, I think I have to tell her about her mother-in-law, otherwise she won't be able to do this." ”

"Dongmei is not small, but the two children of Xifeng and Beifeng are not married, my sister got married first and walked in front of my brother, how can Xifeng and Beifeng say daughter-in-law in the future?"

When Mrs. Song said such things, Song Qiuyue felt uncomfortable, this mother was too partial, when she and her eldest brother Song Dongfeng changed relatives, her mother was not worried that her eldest brother would not find a daughter-in-law before forcing herself, and her mother never thought about it for the two daughters.

Fortunately, Song Qiuyue met a simple man like Yang Hongqi, who was always much stronger than her sister-in-law and widow, and Song Qiuyue thought of this, and her heart was much more balanced.

"Mom, you can get engaged to Dongmei first, it's okay to be engaged for three or five years, and after Xifeng and Beifeng get married, they will marry Dongmei."

Mrs. Song thought about it for a while, and after settling Song Dongmei's heart first, she entrusted Song Qiuyue to see that there was a suitable young man to tell Dongmei about her family.

When Song Dongmei was making a fuss this day, Song Qingtian was busy, she was busy, and she thought to herself, why didn't Song Dongmei come to wait for Zhao Leiming today, although she was not diligent, but she could occasionally do a small favor, and many people were always much stronger than one person

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Leiming and Qin Xiaofei came to sell loaches together.

The two of them said hello politely when they saw Song Qingtian, but they didn't speak.

Zhao Leiming's eyes seemed to be exceptionally clear today, and his gaze always swept over Song Qingtian, which made Song Xifeng feel like he wanted to beat him.

Fortunately, Zhao Leiming left after selling out, and Qin Xiaofei stayed behind to help.

Qin Xiaofei was quick with his hands and feet, and he worked hard, and with one more person, he soon became idle, and the three of them sat down to rest.

Qin Xiaofei wanted to say anything several times, but he stopped talking, which made Song Qingtian very strange and asked, "What's the matter with you, you have a lot of worries, do you have anything to say?" ”

Qin Xiaofei glanced at Song Xifeng and said, "Third uncle, if I say something you don't like to hear, don't beat me, okay?" ”

Song Xifeng glared at him and said, "That eye of yours saw that I had beaten someone?" What do you have to say, don't whet people's appetites! ”

Qin Xiaofei told Song Qingtian word for word about what happened between him meeting Song Dongmei and Zhao Leiming in the past two days, and specifically pointed out that Yang Yuting might be doing ghosts behind his back, and asked Song Qingtian to be careful of Yang Yuting.

Song Xifeng was annoyed when he heard this, and he didn't have the urge to hit someone, but hurriedly ran home.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I met my eldest sister Song Qiuyue, who was about to go home, and Song Qiuyue slapped Sun Guiying and Song Dongmei, and Song Dongmei entrusted herself to tell her about the matter.

Song Xifeng's steel teeth clenched, this sister is really bold, fortunately the eldest sister came back to report the news, otherwise I don't know how to make a fuss, Song Xifeng wanted to smash Yang Yuting into Song Dongmei, and tell the eldest sister about the troublemaking behind her back, but she was afraid that the eldest sister would be angry, so she had to deliberately remind the eldest sister.

"Yuting is not young anymore, don't be like Dongmei."

Song Qiuyue didn't know that Yang Yuting was tinkering with Song Dongmei behind her back, and thought that Song Xifeng meant to remind her not to forget what happened to Yang Yuting to the second child of the Zhao family in Yuhua clothing store, so she nodded and didn't think too much.

"Where is Dongmei now?" Song Xifeng asked.

"I was beaten by my mother and fell asleep."

"It's time to fight!" Song Xifeng originally wanted to come back and count down Song Dongmei had no brains, but when she heard the eldest sister say that she had been beaten, she thought that she should always have a long memory, so she threw down the two words and ran back to Song Qingtian's house.

While working, Song Xifeng brought Song Dongmei to the beating and marriage proposal one by one.

Song Qingtian only sighed, why is Song Dongmei so stupid.

In the evening, Song Qingtian found that some loaches were a little unenergetic, so he asked Yang Xiulian to clean up and fry them.

In this spare time, she and Song Xifeng checked the accounts and found that they had actually collected more than 500 catties in the past two or three days, and if they were calculated in this way, 1 catty would be 5 cents, so they would have an income of 25 yuan.

Song Xifeng said: "If I go to university, it's hard to say if I can't get in, if I am admitted to university for another four years, after graduation, I will be assigned to be a worker, more than 30 or 40 yuan a month, it is better for me to follow you to do business, this money is too much, I don't want to continue to study and waste time." ”

The third uncle's change was expected by Song Qingtian, but it was the first time that the third uncle said such a thing, Song Qingtian said with a smile: "In the next few decades, it will definitely be beneficial to read more, I suggest that the third uncle read for a few more years, but whether you want to read or not depends on the third uncle's own decision." ”

Because Song Qingtian has always said that he can earn money for Song Xifeng to study, people at a young age have high hopes for themselves, Song Xifeng has a lot of pressure invisibly, and when he heard Song Qingtian say this at this moment, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

The meaning of his stretched face was also seen by Song Qingtian.

Sure enough, don't tell people that I'm for your good, and it's really good for others to feel comfortable.

The next day, Lu Xin came to Song Qingtian's house early, Song Xifeng loaded 500 catties of loaches and yellow eels into the car, and Lu Xin waved his hand to let him go.

Lu Xin said: "West Wind, I see that you are a person who is not afraid of hardship, every time you come, you do your best to help Qingtian, do you have any ideas?" ”

Song Xifeng was stunned, and he didn't know why Lu Xin asked like this.

Lu Xin said again: "You are so hard-working and resentful to help Qingtian, didn't you think of asking for a reward or something?" ”

Song Xifeng said with a smile: "Qingtian has already paid the salary, and I am embarrassed to accept it." ”

"Qingtian is very sensible, you will take it if you give it to you, she will start making money now, and you will take as much as you will give you in the future."

Song Qingtian listened on the sidelines, this Lu Xin is to stabilize the army's heart for himself, and he also persuaded Song Xifeng to know that he always has to get paid for his efforts, and also solved the problem that when he paid the third uncle, the third uncle kept shirking the problem.

Lu Xin paid for the goods, and then took out the 25 yuan separately, "One yard is one yard, two clear." As he spoke, Lu Xin took a sip of Liujian tea and frowned slightly, "It seems that the taste is a little different." ”

Song Qingtian told Lu Xin about buying Liujian tea from Wang Fengying.

Lu Xin said: "Originally, I thought that you would be desperately making willow tip tea within a week of my visit, how light the willow tip is, it is estimated that it will cost 100,000 willow buds to dry one catty, and it is estimated that you will not be able to get seven or eight catties in a week." You know that the flexibility is beyond my expectations. ”

Song Qingtian said: "Brother Lu, do you think that in order to please you for business, I will do everything and not consider the consequences." ”

"That's right, I saw that you were interested in the liquor in my car last time, I thought that you wanted to do that business again, I was afraid that you would be greedy and chew too much, so I deliberately used Liujian tea to test you and see how you could be flexible, if you desperately make Liujian tea by yourself, and then delay the time, you have not completed the amount I wanted, and the result is also poor, so it will disappoint me."

Lu Xin is a bit sinister, Song Xifeng thinks so in his heart at the moment, but this guy also has benefits, enough to confess.

Song Qingtian seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu is willing to let me help sell your liquor?" ”

Lu Xin nodded, "You are so smart, I have this idea, now that you have passed the test, you can naturally do it, but you are a girl, not suitable for such a business, I didn't choose you this time." ”

"What do you mean by Brother Lu?"

Lu Xin glanced at Song Xifeng and asked, "Xifeng, what do you think, do you want to do business, or do you plan to continue studying?" ”

Song Xifeng said firmly: "I want to do business, I don't want to study anymore." ”

"I'll start with one thing, you are responsible for the decisions you make, and don't resent anyone in the future."

"Of course, I graduated from high school, and my knowledge is enough, and I never regret the decision I made."

Lu Xin nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Lu Xin has taken a fancy to Song Xifeng's down-to-earth and diligent.

Lu Xin continued: "Xifeng, I want you to help sell liquor, because you are a man, and your physical strength and energy are better than those of Qingtian, to speak from the heart, but I don't worry that you will do it alone, and your head may not be as good as a sunny day, so I decided to do this business, and you and Qingtian will do it in partnership." ”

Song Xifeng nodded fiercely.

"I haven't finished my words yet, I have three conditions, first, if there is no other manpower on a sunny day, you must first ensure that you must be present to help in these days when the loaches are harvested on a sunny day.

Second, at this stage, how to do the liquor business, you have to listen to the advice of Qingtian, Qingtian does not participate in any process of selling liquor, but 3/10 of your profit must be Qingtian.

Third, in the case of losses caused by liquor due to various reasons, or even loss of money, Qingtian does not bear any responsibility. ”

These three conditions, all of them are towards Song Qingtian, if you don't make any effort, you will get profits, there is no risk, and you have to listen to Song Qingtian's words, this is obviously to use Song Xifeng as a coolie.

Song Qingtian immediately stopped and said, "Brother Lu, this is not appropriate, the third uncle is too much of a loss like this." ”

Lu Xin said: "If Xifeng does not agree, this liquor business will end here." ”

Song Xifeng immediately expressed his willingness to obey these three conditions.

Lu Xin's three conditions severely restricted Song Xifeng, even with the meaning of exploitation.

Of course, Lu Xin did this for a reason, Song Xifeng is a novice, and he is not mature in what he does, if there is no limit, then it will be difficult for him to do it, not to mention, in the early stage, Song Xifeng needs to exercise, let him do it is to give him a process of exercise, to see if he can understand it.

Lu Xin didn't say these words explicitly, Song Qingtian could think of it, Song Xifeng's brain was not bad, he could think of it, Song Xifeng could think of this, and happily agreed, it shows that this person has the material to be made, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to cherish opportunities.

So why did Lu Xin believe in Song Qingtian so firmly?

For this question, Song Xifeng wanted to ask, but Lu Xin didn't let him think too much about this reason, and said bluntly: "Trust is a kind of psychological sensitivity, and it is also a person's impression of others when his ability is exposed, and of course, it is also the sense of steadfastness shown by his behavior." To make it clear, since I lent her money, I have unconditionally assured Song Qingtian, her character and ability, Xifeng, I hope you can do it too, although Qingtian is your niece, but you must be humble. ”

Lu Xin's words benefited Song Xifeng a lot, indeed, since Song Qingtian decided to do business, Song Xifeng was worried everywhere. As a result, Song Qingtian didn't worry about anything, he thought about everything, he did everything in every way, and he never made any mistakes, in the eyes of Song Xifeng, Song Qingtian was a person who could be relied on.

That's what Lu Xin meant by trust.

Song Qingtian thinks it's okay, since the third uncle doesn't want to study, it's not a problem to keep collecting loaches by himself, and selling liquor can also give him a space to grow and exercise.

After agreeing, Lu Xin asked Song Xifeng to move two jars of liquor from the car.

Lu Xin said: "This is Jizhou's bulk old white dry, the wine is pure, suitable for the taste of people in the north and the Central Plains, this jar is 30 catties, I will leave you 60 catties, you sell it first." ”

Song Xifeng asked seriously: "We don't have this kind of wine here, what price is right?" ”

Lu Xin said: "The price I give you is 1 yuan a catty, and after calculating all kinds of losses, you can sell a piece for 3 pounds, if you sell it in small quantities, it will cost 1 cents and 5 cents for one tael." ”

In the 80s, Moutai was more than a dozen yuan a bottle, and Song Qingtian felt that the price was quite reasonable, and if the taste of the wine was suitable for the locals, it would still make money.

Lu Xin asked Song Qingtian: "What about the photos I asked you to prepare?" ”

"Really?"

"Of course, how can I, Lu Xin, be untrustworthy, Yu Qingbo has been waiting for a long time."

Last time, Song Xifeng went to school for an exam, and when he came back, he took back Song Qingtian's photo, and Song Qingtian went to the house to take out the photo and hand it to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin put away the photo and took out 8 yuan to Song Qingtian.

"Brother Lu, what does this mean, do photos also sell for money?"

"That's not it, I gave you the money for Liujian tea, and I took all the catties you got."

"Brother Lu, didn't you say that making Liujian tea is a test for me?"

"It's a test, but I really want it, of course, there is no free lunch in the world, and I can't ask for it in vain, so I have to pay. However, I won't want it for the time being. ”

Song Qingtian saw Lu Xin's serious face, and took the money.

When Lu Xin was leaving, Song Qing only remembered something, so he asked, "Brother Lu, if you have time to go to Guangzhou, can you tell me in advance?" ”

"What do you think?"

"Brother Lu, just tell me, and I'll tell you in detail next time you come."

"Well, I also have plans to go to Guangzhou to have a look, and we can talk about it in detail next time."

After Lu Xin left, Song Qingtian pondered, this Lu Xin said that he was giving the third uncle a chance, but in fact, he still handed over the business to himself.

Whoever has the decision-making power and the right to speak in an enterprise is the head of the enterprise.

The liquor business given by Lu Xin still let Song Qingtian be in charge, and Song Xifeng just got an extra salary, but it was only a responsibility with risks.

In the final analysis, Song Qingtian felt that Lu Xin was paving the way for herself and cultivating reliable people around her.
