Chapter 3: Warm Memories (Asking for Votes)
Yingying has many suitors, but without her mother's permission, she doesn't dare to fall in love. And Vivi has never been a suitor! The height of 1.72 meters, coupled with the cold and detached temperament of the whole body, makes the boys afraid to approach.
"Weiwei, why don't you wear this dress. The eldest sister must want you to wear this dress to her wedding today. Who knew you wouldn't go! ”
Yingying put on the snatched dress and stood in front of the mirror for two minutes, and felt that she didn't like it again. Although the color of moss green is the most popular color for this spring and summer, the style is too simple, without any of the lace and lace streamers that she likes.
"I've never seen you wear a skirt!"
"If you don't like it, put it there first."
"I don't wear what my eldest sister bought for you. When she comes back from her honeymoon, she will definitely be unhappy to see me snatch your skirt to wear. Now she is a rich woman in our family, and if she is unhappy, she will make her mother unhappy. I don't dare! ”
Yingying grinned and put the dress she had taken off on Weiwei, who was annoyed and threw the dress onto the bed.
The opening plan is still only on paper, and I don't know how much opening budget and operating costs will be required. Although the shop is its own, the rent of the shop must also be included in the cost.
When I was a child, my family didn't have a car, and the nearest elementary school was more than 20 minutes away by car. My mother's bicycle can only take her two older sisters to and from school in the front and back seats. Weiwei had no choice but to study near her father's restaurant, go to the restaurant after school to do her homework, and wait for her father to finish work and then go home together.
Vivi spends more time at home than at home, and spends much more time with her father than her mother.
After I went to high school, I was busy with my studies, so I went to the crockpot house less often. Until today, it was found that the crockpot house had been changed beyond recognition, and the signboard had been replaced by a glittering barbecue food stall...... A faint feeling of heartache has made Weiwei still unable to calm down. It seems that someone has stolen the warmest memories of her childhood......
A typhoon suddenly blew in the morning, and Fu Meiling hesitated whether to take Yingying to the beauty salon. If Mrs. Ding doesn't come to the beauty salon today, it would be a waste of time to bring Yingying over.
It is fake to let Yingying be the front desk of the beauty salon, and it is the goal to make Ding Tai like Yingying.
Slid open the WeChat address book and found Mrs. Ding's name, "Good morning Mrs. Ding, ...... this morning" Fu Meiling typed a few words and deleted it. Closing the screen of my phone and looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window again, the wind seemed to be much lighter.
Mrs. Ding will definitely come. Mrs. Ding has always gone to the beauty salon on time to do the SPA, for fear that missing a time will affect the beauty effect. In the past two years, he has improved the consumption level, not only doing the most expensive items in the store, but also often bringing luxury samples to beauticians. It's so much fun that the beauticians in the store are so happy that seeing Mrs. Ding is closer than seeing their boss Fu Meiling.
Isn't it just a charter wife who makes a fortune by land acquisition! It's not that you have money to live in fear, but you're afraid that your man will be out of the house......
Fu Meiling felt sour in her mouth, and had to admit that she was jealous of Ding's good life. This kind of woman who is born with a good life is not envious! As an immigrant, you can only rely on your hands to work hard to eat.
"Mom, can I go?"
Yingying felt a little uncomfortable wearing the Chanel dress her mother bought for her. Clothes are really expensive, and they are indeed not easy to wear, and I always feel that raising my hands and feet is restricted, and the style is more suitable for mature women.
No matter how fashionable the mother is, there is still a generation gap with her daughter's aesthetic vision. However, Yingying didn't dare to say this, and turned around her mother to show off her new clothes.
"Fortunately, the wind has cooled down today, and the fabric of this dress is a little thick. In the end, it is not as good as buying it yourself. But my daughter looks good in everything! ”
Fu Meiling picked up her bag and prepared to go out, and Yingying picked up high heels in the shoe cabinet. Wei Wei came out of the bedroom with an army green canvas bag on her shoulder, and Fu Meiling turned her head to see Wei Wei frowning.
"You're going out? Yingying and I came back in the afternoon to drink papaya stewed milk. ”
"Mom, I'm going to have to get a job."
"It doesn't take all day to find a job, I come back early in the afternoon to wash my clothes and stew papaya. By the way, you don't have to be too far away from home when you are looking for a job, Yingying has a bad stomach, so you have to eat on time. ”
Fu Meiling is used to telling her youngest daughter to do housework.
"Mom, I quit sugar now and don't drink sugar water."
Obviously, her mother wanted her sister to do housework, but she pushed herself out as a reason, and Yingying didn't want to carry this pot.
"If you don't drink, I'll drink."
Fu Meiling's voice raised an octave.
"I may have to live outside to find a job, and I can't go home."
"What job doesn't keep people home? It's not a long-term worker in the old society! ”
Fu Meiling's pale face showed anger. Elegant in front of people, no need to disguise at home.
“……”
Explaining to her mother that she was going to reopen her father's restaurant only made her angrier. Vivi picked up her half-worn black high-top canvas sneakers from the shoe closet and changed them into, lowered her eyebrows and whispered "I'm leaving" to her mother, and opened the door and went out.
The mother's roar behind Ren was muffled by a fire door in the hallway that snapped open.
The wind stirred Jiang Weiwei's long hair, the sky above her head was high and the clouds were light, and the air was full of flowers.
Vivi loves this city, it seems that every corner of the city is full of flowers, and the four seasons are fresh and undefeated. In my childhood memories, the courtyard of the clay pot house is also full of shade and flowers......
The messy plastic tables and chairs inside and outside the restaurant, the glittering barbecue stall signs, and the grease-stained kitchen cabinets and kitchenware in the kitchen are all pulled away by the waste collectors. The uncle who collected the scrap nagged that it was not cost-effective this time, and the car was not worth a few dollars, and he had to make a few trips back and forth.
"Everyone else is paying us to pull the scrap away, and you still want to sell it for money?!"
If you don't give money, don't give money, Weiwei doesn't care about the uncle. Emptying the inside and outside of the house, it feels much more pleasing to the eye.
After inquiring about the renovation cost, Weiwei decided to do it herself. The water and electricity lines are ready-made, and there is no need to change them, as long as the decoration is done.
A week later, the walnut-colored signboard that reproduced my father's crockpot house and the soup can engraved with the word crockpot house were ready. The less than 50,000 yuan I saved from scholarships and odd jobs in four years of college was spent at once.
In seven days, only one person and an agent came to see the store, and the man walked around inside and out, shaking his head and leaving.
"The store is too small to renovate, the location is too far back, although the environment is good, but the place is small and can not put a big table, not suitable for many people to gather and business banquets, this kind of store, no matter how good it is, can only eat with a mouthful of food, can not make a lot of money......"
After listening to the intermediary's call, Fu Meiling was in a low mood. Seeing that it was time to pay the rent in the beauty salon, there was still a hole of 6,000 yuan to be filled. Now it's time to pay the rent for the rented house, which adds up to more than 12,000, not counting the living expenses.
I have already taken a fancy to a two-bedroom rough house facing south next to a sports park, and the full price will cost 4.58 million, and it is estimated that the counter-offer will go to a fraction at most. Plus the decoration can also cost 200,000. 4.7 million! When Yingying's dowry arrives, there is not much money left.
The old shop can't be sold and rented, that's not terrible!
