Chapter 38: Zhao Ying sells vegetables
Zhao Ying called that time to ask if Xiaoshan, who had reached her due date, had given birth.
Zhao Ying had just been in Shanghai with her parents for the first week, and she contacted Wu Weiqiang almost every day, but then gradually decreased. It's not that she's gone to a new place and forgotten her old friends, it's just that she's getting busy.
After living with her parents, she learned about the hardships of her family's vegetable sales. Her father and grandfather would go out twice a day to pick up vegetables: before 4 a.m., they would drive their vans to the wholesale markets of agricultural and sideline products, and at 1 p.m. they would go to the fields of vegetable farmers in the suburbs. Her mother and grandmother were selling the vegetables. Many people in the city are enjoyment-oriented: edamame needs to be peeled, lettuce and water chestnuts need to be peeled, shepherd's cabbage and maran head need to be rooted, goldenrod and bean seedlings need to be picked and tender, and snails need to be cut...... There were even people who wanted them to wash it well.
The four of them are busy at the vegetable stall every day, not to mention that they have time to care about Zhao Ying, who is not by their side, even the two sons around them have no time to take care of it. The two children, who are about to enter junior high school, have bad grades and don't want their children to suffer like them in the future, so they desperately apply for various cram schools, which is a money-burning thing. The originally small house would not have been able to squeeze in if it weren't for the fact that I slept in turns (first my father and grandfather who had to get up early to get vegetables the next day, and then my mother and grandmother who chose vegetables in the first half of the night to sleep), I wouldn't have been able to squeeze it at all. Now that Zhao Ying is here, Grandpa can only curl up and sleep outside in the van full of vegetable baskets and foam boxes. But this is not a long-term solution after all, only by working hard to earn money can they change to a bigger house, so they will work harder.
Mothers and grandmothers who stay up late to choose vegetables often choose vegetables and then doze off. Sometimes, in order to prevent falling asleep, the two of them would talk loudly, but one of them did not match the preface and the afterword, and the answer was not the question, and the other said the same sentence repeatedly, and then stopped abruptly while talking...... This made Zhao Ying, who had just been here for a week, unable to lie down in bed anymore, and she also joined the ranks of choosing vegetables. She asked her grandfather to go back to the house to sleep, and she stayed up all night choosing vegetables: I was young and could sleep during the day, and my grandfather was older, so it was more comfortable to stretch out his hands and feet to sleep. With the approach of the Spring Festival, the business is getting busier and busier, and the vegetables she chooses at night are not enough to sell during the day, so she not only chooses them at night, but also chooses them at home during the day, and sends them to the vegetable stall when she chooses.
At first, she felt embarrassed, sent the vegetables over, put the vegetables on the stall and left, and then helped her grandmother count the money at night, and found that the elderly grandmother always got counterfeit money.
Selling vegetables has to stain beautiful clothes and shoes, so Zhao Ying had to tie an apron, put on sleeves, and put on rubber shoes. The outfit was no longer worthy of cosmetics, and she put them away. But after all, young and tall, Zhao Ying, who has no makeup, still stands out among the vegetable sellers. Everyone has a love for beauty, and many people come to buy her vegetables, and before long, her vegetable stall is the best business in the farmer's market. It is still easy to stain the clothes after tying an apron, and later, Zhao Ying simply bought the stall goods and wore them.
I am used to wearing clothes, so on May Day last year, Wu Weiqiang took Shuwei to Shanghai to see a doctor, and Zhao Ying didn't think of putting on makeup and changing into better clothes to see Weiqiang.
That day, when Wei Qiang saw Zhao Ying, he was really startled: he was very haggard, not only did he not wear makeup, but his hair was tied at random at the back of his head, and his clothes looked like stalls.
"Why do you wear such clothes, do your parents ignore you anymore?"
"I sell vegetables now, I don't have to get dressed, and I don't have time to go to the big mall to buy clothes." Zhao Ying smiled.
"You sell vegetables? Don't you want to open a clothing store? Wu Weiqiang looked surprised.
"Opening a clothing store has always been my wish, how can I give up, but if I don't work hard to make money, how can I have the money to rent a store and buy goods?"
"That's true, but with the money from selling vegetables, doesn't it have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?"
"Don't underestimate our vegetable sellers, my family earns at least 1,000 yuan a day. Dad gave me 300 yuan a day, I have money now, you will go to the doctor alone in a while, and I will take your son to take a taxi to Disneyland. ”
Wei Qiang couldn't help but open his mouth wide, Xiaoshan worked hard, and it was only about two hundred yuan a day.
Later, Wei Qiang went to the hospital and learned that he was suffering from gout, and he was in a good mood, so he wanted to invite Zhao Ying, who had played with Shuwei for a day, to have a big meal in the evening. Zhao Ying yawned and said: If you really want to thank me, let me go home and go to sleep quickly, I am now all day long, and what I want most is to sleep. Although I make money selling vegetables, I only sleep four or five hours a day, which is too hard. I sometimes worry about whether people will still be alive when I make enough money to open a store!
"Ah, then I think you might as well sell the wedding dress as soon as possible, the wedding dress is not also a costume, my illness is not so terrible, I can get my wife back when I go back, and then you can sell the wedding dress made by my wife first, and then sell it and then give the cost. This not only saves money on purchases, but also has no risk. ”
"Really, I'll do the math...... In this case, by the end of next year, I should be able to rent a storefront. Zhao Ying swept away the fatigue just now, and in turn paid for Wei Qiang and Shu Wei to have a big meal.
After learning that she was pregnant, Zhao Ying asked about the due date and kept it firmly in her mind. No, on the day of the due date, I called to ask about the situation. After learning that he had given birth, he immediately sent a lot of high-end baby products from Shanghai. I don't know if she's worried that Xiaoshan still hates her, Wu Weiqiang said that he will take their wedding dress when the time comes, and give money when he sells it, not counting, or selling vegetables now, and understanding human accidents.
Just as Wu Weiqiang was thinking nonsense, Xiao Wuwu, who was drinking milk powder, touched his face with his little hand. He immediately stared at Carefree with wide eyes, and Carefree looked at him with wide eyes. That's right, it is said that the two of them will look more and more like each other, and we will just stare at each other with big eyes when we have nothing to do, so that we can really worry about the future.
Wei Qiang decided to wait for Wu Wu to be older, and he was going to send him to learn martial arts: Shu Wei has been learning piano with Yin Xiaoshi's wife who graduated from the music department every Saturday since Xiao Xia's mother came last time, and he has to have a successor to do it! Moreover, Wu Wu must surpass Wu Jing's son Wu Yun in the future, so that he can be angry for him. Wu Jing's son's name is actually homophonic with Wu Wu, if Wei Qiang didn't use his brain when he came up with his name, it would be fine, the problem is that he died so many brain cells, so Wei Qiang was ten thousand unhappy in his heart.
