In the blink of an eye, the summer of 1989 has passed. From the New Year to the present, the business is quite stable, Mrs. Fei and the second and third uncles have never come to the old house again.

Cui Yuechan's pale face finally had a hint of ruddyness, although she still lives in the old house, but her business income is stable, which is much better than going to work, and she will go to see Fei Tianyou twice a month, and she is a little satisfied with the hope of life.

Fei Lingyi has other plans, the business in the town has done this, it can be said that it has come to an end. With such a big town and limited spending power, she thinks she's pretty much the best of it. Development has encountered a bottleneck, and we have to find another way out. And she clearly knows that the township in the 21st century has declined, and all people will go to the city to develop.

After making up her mind, she discussed with Cui Yuechan, "Mom, I want to do business in the city." ”

Cui Yuechan didn't react for a while, "What did you say?" To the city? Aren't we doing a good job right now? What a pity to lose. When you go to the city, you have to start all over again. ”

"Mom, we should look farther, the business in this town can only be done like this, and if we want to develop, we can only go to the city."

"Our business is very good now, we can earn almost 1,000 yuan a month, and I think I am satisfied enough to get as much as the workers who go to work now."

"Mom, it's right to be content, but are you willing to live in an old house for the rest of your life? None of us are registered in the local rural areas, and we are not qualified to rebuild the house if it collapses, so what if the house really collapses one day? Where will we stay then? Dad came back and didn't even have a place to live, so what should I do? ”

Cui Yuechan obviously didn't think about this, she just wanted to get through the past few years and wait for her husband to come back from prison. Only then did she realize that even if her husband came home, he would have no income. Yes, they barely managed to hold on to this house for another year, and they were afraid that the house would suddenly collapse at the slightest disturbance. Especially when it was thundering and raining, the mother and daughter didn't dare to fall asleep at all.

"And where will you stay in the city?"

"Let's find a room to live in and then rent a storefront to do business. I had long wanted to buy a machine for knitting sweaters, but the hand-knitting was too slow, but the market in the town was too small to digest, and when I got to the city, I dared to think about it. ”

"Knitted sweaters, yes, yes, we don't know how to do it."

"You can't learn it, the manufacturer will be responsible for teaching, it shouldn't be too complicated."

Cui Yuechan's thoughts worked, and she began to implement her plan step by step.

She rode her bicycle around, but never found a suitable storefront, and when she arrived at the Zhou Ji woolen shop, she found that a woolen shop next to it was closed.

"Sister Zhou!" The proprietress thought she was calling her aunt and calling her old, so she insisted that she call Sister Zhou.

"This shop is doing so well, why is it closing?"

Sister Zhou was a little proud, "What is called a good thing, she has to close the door when she meets me in business." ”

"Then the owner of this store hasn't rented out yet?"

"Alas, this business has collapsed in the store, people think that feng shui is not good, and now the landlord's family is going to the provincial capital, and they want to rent the house upstairs together, how can it be so easy to rent out?"

Fei Lingyi's heart moved, this place has already formed a woolen market, and when people who buy wool are in need, the first thing they think of must be here. She doesn't believe in feng shui, business is not good, one is location, and more importantly, personal management.

"Well, I want to meet the landlord."

、

Sister Zhou said, "No, the landlord is there, just the old man in blue." ”

Fei Lingyi ran over and stood in front of the landlord, "Uncle, have you rented out this shop?" ”

"Not yet, you don't want to rent. I'll tell you, I'm going to rent it upstairs. ”

Seeing that Fei Lingyi was silent, he explained, "My son and daughter-in-law are in the provincial capital, and my wife is also in the provincial capital to help them take care of their children. The house was empty and useless, so we had to rent it out together. ”

"In this way, I want to rent a store to do business, but I heard that your store is not out of business, and the upstairs house has to be rented together, and I am still thinking about it."

The landlord was in a hurry to leave, but the store couldn't handle it, and he was anxious, "Which rotten tongue said that my shop is out of business, people are poor and blame the house foundation, and the house leakage is sparse." If you can do business, you can make money by pushing a small car, and the supply and marketing cooperatives department store is good, why is there no business? Girl, this downstairs is doing business, and the upstairs is lived, where can you find such a good location and such a good store? ”

"Tell me how much it is, if the price is fair, I can also consider it."

"Girl, I'm renting furniture upstairs, or you can go up and have a look."

"It's not necessary, it's useless upstairs anyway." Fei Lingyi thought, no matter how bad the house upstairs is, what is there to see. If the old man could see that she still wanted to rent, it would be strange not to knock her off.

"My rent for the store downstairs is 600 a year, plus the upstairs, it's 1200 a year."

"Okay, I know, uncle, you should keep the shop for yourself, ah." Fei Lingyi turned around and left.

The landlord shouted "Eh, girl, shouting is the price, or the money, you pay the price, what do you run, the business is negotiated." ”

Fei Lingyi turned around, "Uncle, you can really shout, 600 downstairs, you ask all over the street, people have such a good business of Zhou Ji wool is only 500, you want 600, you are in this store, can I take over it, can you live out and talk about it, do you want to raise the price?" There's no business upstairs, and it's empty, so how can I pay back your price? ”

"Alas, I'll just try to let my wife count it, let you 200, give 1000, make up a whole number."

Fei Lingyi shook her head and sighed, "Uncle, I've been talking to you for a long time, and it's not appropriate not to pay you back, so let's do it, 600, if you want, I will pay immediately, and if someone can pay higher than this, you can rent it to him." As he spoke, he made a gesture to leave.

A few people have come to see, the bids downstairs are all 500, but don't go upstairs, there is no negotiation, the old man is in a hurry to leave, the upstairs house can pick up 100 and count 100.

Cui Yuechan didn't expect her daughter to secure the store and residence so quickly, "Let's go?" ”

"It's too cold in the winter, and last year's frostbite dragged on until this year's spring. You have to go early and late, so let's just go early. ”

"Let's go, it's just Lingyi, the expenses in the city are much higher than in the township, it's not easy for us to make some money, but we can't spend it indiscriminately." Cui Yuechan had enough of being hungry after this change, so she didn't forget to tell a few words.

"I know, Mom, don't worry, I won't spend a lot of money. Our rental is only temporary, and in the future, I will definitely let you live in a big house, believe me. ”

"Big house, where did the big house come from? We didn't have a unit to receive when we went into the city, and we couldn't get a house. ”

"Sooner or later, the unit welfare subdivision will be eliminated, and in the future, someone will repair the house and sell it, as long as we save enough money." Fei Lingyi almost said the commercial house, this term is too advanced, Cui Yuechan will not understand.

Moving from the countryside to the city, Fei Lingyi was not in a hurry to open a business, but took Cui Yuechan to the provincial capital to learn knitting sweaters.

When they returned from the provincial capital, in addition to a machine, there were two large snakeskin bags of yarn.

On the first day of the opening of Fei Ji Line Store, Fei Lingyi and Cui Yuechan carefully arranged the woolen samples, and put a firecracker at the door to indicate the opening of the new store.

When I sweep the cannon crumbs on the floor at the door. Fei Lingyi saw Sister Zhou staring at her like a black eye, but she didn't mind, and greeted Sister Zhou with a smile, "Sister Zhou, we will be neighbors in the future, take care of it." ”

Sister Zhou was so angry that she slapped her mouth, "Bah, bah, look at how much you talk about." ”

Fei Lingyi is not very old, but it seems that she was born to do business, Sister Zhou saw that she opened the store in the city in only a year, and also opened it to the bottom of her own nose.

Calming down, she began to think about how to deal with it. The last one in the Fei family line store also sold wool, and after only a few rounds of fighting with himself, he admitted defeat and surrendered, and walked away with his tail between his legs. This little girl, she weighed it, three months, anyway, she doesn't have much capital.
