Chapter 33: Making trouble in the Huo family's shop
Since Yang Juan agreed to come to the shop to help on the 7th, she simply packed her luggage and lived in the Huo family's side courtyard according to Yang Chunyan's arrangement.
Because she lived alone in this small and delicate courtyard, Yang Juan had always been a diligent person, so she simply refused Yang Chunyan's request to invite her to Huo's house for dinner, and made her own food every day.
In the first few days after arriving, Yang Juan would always spend some thoughts, cook some side dishes that she is good at, and send them to the Huo family.
Today, Yang Juan made a radish stew by herself, adding dried vegetables that she specially dried when she was at Yang's house, adding a different flavor to this ordinary side dish.
As soon as the dishes came out of the pot, Yang Juan hurriedly served them and held them in both hands to the Huo family in the front yard, wanting to give the Huo family's mother-in-law a taste.
After Huo's mother saw Yang Juan coming, she also warmly welcomed Yang Juan in, Yang Juan put some hot dishes on the table, and said respectfully: "Aunt Huo, thank you for not disliking it, and you are willing to provide me with such a good opportunity, this is a small dish I made, although it is not a rare thing, but it has also taken a lot of thought, I think you will like it when you taste it." ”
At this time, Yang Chunyan was also preparing the meal that the family was going to eat at noon in the stove room, and after seeing Yang Juan coming, she added some firewood to the stove a little, and then came out and walked in front of Yang Juan.
When she saw the bowl of side dishes on the table, Yang Chunyan was overjoyed: "I didn't expect to be able to eat the eldest sister's specialty dishes today, which can be regarded as the icing on the cake." ”
Huo Mu looked at Yang Juan so sensible, and the smile in her eyes gradually thickened: "Good boy, it's hard for you to still think about us, if you want to say that you are also a little more out of sight, what do you do to start a new stove alone, it's a big deal to eat here every day, it's just a matter of adding more chopsticks." ”
Yang Juan smiled, she knew that Huo's mother was kind, but if she came here to eat every day, she was afraid that she would let others talk about it, so she smiled, helped Huo's mother sit down, and said softly:
"I know that Aunt Huo is really for my good, but it's a bit unruly to do so."
"What are the rules, we are not a big family, there are many rules there, everyone is relatives, you can't say this kind of raw words."
Huo's mother refuted it directly without saying a word, and the older the old lady gets, the more loving her heart becomes.
Yang Chunyan smiled, remembering that there were still dishes in the pot in the stove room that had not yet come out of the pot, and hurriedly went back.
Why didn't Yang Chunyan agree with Huo Mu's thoughts at the beginning? It's just that Yang Chunyan knows Yang Juan, she knows that Yang Juan has a strength in her bones, and knows that if she keeps insisting that Yang Juan solve it at the Huo family for three meals a day, Yang Juan will definitely not agree, so she simply goes with her.
After the meal was cooked, Huo's mother pulled Yang Juan to sit down, and resolutely let Yang Juan have today's meal at Huo's house, and Yang Chunyan also persuaded on the side:
"Eldest sister, just sit down, I see that my mother is in love with you, so I should accompany the old man to talk and laugh and make my mother happy."
At this point, Yang Juan had no choice but to sit aside, happy and unhappy during the meal.
It is said that since the last time Zhang's mother told Zhang Lin about the situation at home, she has been pushing Zhang Lin out, urging Zhang Lin to come to the street to find some errands to do, Zhang Lin can't resist Zhang's mother, so he has to wander around the street aimlessly, and there is no serious thing to do.
Who knew that today Zhang Lin walked and came to the vicinity of the grocery store opened by the Huo family, he was now around the corner, watching the grocery store full of people coming and going, he knew that the business inside was very hot, Zhang Lin spit on the ground, and said viciously: "What kind of broken shop, there are so many people to buy it?" ”
Having said that, in addition to jealousy, Zhang Lin's heart couldn't help but be a little curious, and he couldn't help but walk in the direction of the shop.
As soon as he walked to the door of the shop, Zhang Lin found Yang Juan who was busy inside, his first reaction was that he had seen it wrong, he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his eyes, and when he looked at it, he was sure that it was Yang Juan.
Yang Juan, who was busy in the shop, also noticed Zhang Lin standing at the door, she sighed in her heart, and then hurriedly put down the things in her hand, ready to get up and hide behind.
"Yang Juan! Stop! ”
Zhang Lin saw that Yang Juan wanted to leave, and hurriedly stopped her, Yang Juan's hand tightly held the handkerchief in his hand, thinking that there were many people coming and going in the store, and there was really no way to fall out with Zhang Lin and let others see the joke, so he stopped and turned around slowly, his face was expressionless, and his tone was alienated and unfamiliar: "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Lin didn't expect Yang Juan to do things in this grocery store, he snorted coldly, stepped forward step by step, and opened his mouth to flow in a stream:
"What am I doing here? Wanting to buy something, of course! ”
Yang Juan glanced at Zhang Lin, then walked behind the counter, took out the posture of doing business, and spoke:
"Yes, what are you going to buy?"
Zhang Lin walked to the counter and saw at a glance the pairs of wool socks placed in front of Yang Juan, these were spun by Yang Juan in the past few days, and they were just put out today.
"These pairs of socks are good, I'll take a look."
Zhang Lin pointed to the woolen socks and said.
Yang Juan felt that Zhang Lin didn't really want to buy something, but it was impossible to refute Zhang Lin in front of other customers, so she could only bow her head and give Zhang Lin the wool socks in resignation.
Zhang Lin held the pair of soft woolen socks in his hand, and he liked it very much for a while, but when he asked the price, Zhang Lin's face fell: "So much money, what kind of black money do you make in your shop!" ”
As soon as Yang Juan heard this, she became angry: "Zhang Lin, pay attention when you speak, this price is acceptable to others, it means that it is normal, you don't talk nonsense here with empty teeth and white teeth!" ”
"Am I talking nonsense? These socks are obviously half the price of ordinary socks, you are not black money, what is it? ”
In fact, Zhang Lin didn't think what the price of wool socks was, he was penniless and didn't plan to buy wool socks, but seeing that Yang Juan's complexion had become much better recently, and the important thing was that there was such a craft, Zhang Lin couldn't help but feel a little indignant in his heart.
A woman who was kicked out of the house by herself is now living better than herself, which makes Zhang Lin very unhappy in his heart.
"Zhang Gongzi is really good at laughing, how can ordinary socks be compared with this pair of wool socks in your hand?"
Just when Yang Juan's face was flushed with anger but she couldn't say anything to refute Zhang Lin, Yang Chunyan walked in from the door of the grocery store with preserved eggs.
Guan Qing and Shi nodded hurriedly, and after calling "boss" softly, they lowered their heads and went to work on other things.
Seeing Yang Chunyan get out of the way, the arrogant and unreasonable expression on Zhang Lin's face was slightly restrained, but he still said stiffly:
"You guys are selling things, of course you say anything, but I look at it, the difference is not very big, I think you want to make more black money, so you deliberately made up such a pretense to deceive us!"
"Hmph, a mouthful of black-hearted money, Zhang Gongzi's dirty water, splashing is really handy!"
Yang Chunyan snorted coldly and continued: "If Zhang Gongzi sincerely wants to do this business, the people in our shop will definitely treat each other politely, but if Zhang Gongzi is here to deliberately find fault today, then don't blame us for being polite." ”
After Yang Chunyan finished speaking, she walked up with an arrow step, reached out and snatched the pair of woolen socks that were crumpled into a ball in Zhang Lin's hand, and put them back in their original place.
Zhang Lin didn't expect that he would be treated like this by a woman, and the anger in his heart was ignited at once, and he shouted to other people who came and went:
"Fellow villagers, fathers! This is a black-hearted shop, and the things sold to you are not easy to use, so I advise everyone to keep your eyes open and go back! ”
"Zhang Lin! What are you doing here? ”
Seeing Zhang Lin shouting in the shop like this, regardless of his image, Yang Chunyan immediately became angry, and the stone also put down the things in his hand at this time and walked towards Zhang Lin.
Yang Chunyan was still worried, after Zhang Lin made such a fuss, what if someone listened to Zhang Lin's words and really had a prejudice against the grocery store? If you want to talk about a small business like a grocery store, the most important problem is the problem of reputation, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.
Who knows, the surrounding fathers and villagers just were quiet for a while, and then they spoke:
"Impossible, everyone knows that the boss of the Huo family is kind and simple, and he won't harm us like this."
"That's it, besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see that wool socks are obviously different from ordinary shoes and socks, where is it the same?"
Zhang Lin saw that his words not only did not have an effect, but also helped Yang Chunyan even more, and suddenly he couldn't bear his temperament, and just wanted to speak, the stone walked in front of Zhang Lin, with a fierce gaze:
"This son, you are not welcome in the shop, please go out."
Looking at the fierce and vicious appearance of the stone, Zhang Lin's head shrank and swallowed back the words that he didn't say.
At this time, the preserved egg beside Yang Chunyan also seemed to understand his master's thoughts, and it also showed its sharp fangs towards Zhang Lin.
Before leaving, Zhang Lin was not busy turning his head and glaring at Yang Juan, the more he looked, the more angry he became, and when he went out, he almost tripped over the threshold, and his funny appearance made the people around him laugh.
After the surroundings returned to normal, when Yang Chunyan looked back at Yang Juan, she found that Yang Juan didn't know when, her eyes were already red, and she lowered her head to sort out the woolen socks in front of her.
Yang Chunyan looked distressed, stepped forward and took Yang Juan to the back of the shop, and let Yang Juan rest for a while.
"I'm sorry Yan'er, I didn't expect that Zhang Lin would come to the door to make trouble, and blame me for causing trouble to the shop."
"Eldest sister, don't say that, this place is so big, if you really hide, how can you hide back?"
Yang Chunyan poured a cup of tea for Yang Juan, put it in the palm of her hand, and replied.
