The rent in the city center has increased several times compared to when Zhang Xin helped find restaurants a few years ago, Zhang Xin has run all over the stores in the city center, where a month's rent is as much as a year's rent of their restaurant, and the store is only rented to tenants for more than two years.

Zhang Xin's summer vacation was only two months, and she didn't have time to take care of the store at the beginning of school, so the idea of renting a store was temporarily shattered.

Zhou Hui packed up her things and returned to the south after the summer vacation, Grandpa Zhou is old, always talking about his granddaughter, although he is reluctant to Lynch, but he still can't resist the Zhou family every day to urge her to go home, Lynch is also good to say that he sent her on the train.

The students had winter vacation, but the teacher could not be idle, Lynch had just finished correcting the final exam papers, and was entrusted with a task of excavating an ancient tomb, the location was a neighboring province, he and Zhang Xin went to eat together before departure, and told her to pay attention to her body, write to him if there is anything, there is no telephone in the mountain, and can only communicate with the outside world by writing letters.

Everything suddenly returned to calm, the store couldn't be opened, and the textbooks had been read, Zhang Xin according to the method given to her by Chen Ruize, her English had also improved rapidly, and before a quarter of the summer vacation had passed, Zhang Xin began to be idle.

She suddenly remembered the tense and busy days when she was in school, the business of the noodle restaurant was still as hot as before, Sun Cuihua hired a helper to help Aunt Zhao wash the dishes and greet customers, about the production method of noodles, only Zhang Xin and Sun Cuihua know.

After Zhang Xin woke up in the morning, she washed her face, listened to English for a while and came to the noodle shop slowly, since she was free, she came to the noodle shop every day to help, saying that she was helping, that is, just sitting in front of the counter to collect money, washing dishes This kind of rough work, Sun Cuihua said that she would not let her do anything.

Seeing that Zhang Xin was in a state of interest every day and couldn't lift her spirits, Sun Cuihua's heart was anxious, so she took out money from her pocket and stuffed it into Zhang Xin's hand.

"Come, get some money, don't you girls like to buy clothes, go to the department store, don't be bored at home all day long, go out for a walk." After speaking, he pushed Zhang Xin out of the noodle restaurant.

In July and August, when it was the hottest time, the sun seemed to be stimulant, and the sunlight emitted was particularly dazzling, Zhang Xin only stayed outside for a few minutes, and felt that her face was sore from the sun, she looked at the money that Sun Cuihua gave her just now, and decided to go to the mall by herself to buy a hat that could block some sunlight.

Zhang Xin hired a tricycle, and soon came to the largest department store in the city, today Zhang Xin wore a pair of wide-legged pants made of himself, and a shirt made of white cloth that he had nothing to do two days ago, although he was already sweating, but he didn't feel the discomfort of the clothes sticking to his body at all.

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and most of the stores in the mall had just opened, and there were only a few customers in the mall. Zhang Xin bought a popsicle and strolled around while eating.

"Sweet honey, the sweet ...... you laugh at" Teresa Teng's sweet singing voice came from a store, although Teresa Teng has become popular in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and even other countries, but it is still regarded as a glamorous sound in Chinese mainland, and few people dare to play this song openly.

Zhang Xin was attracted by the singing, the clothes in this small shop were no different from those in other stores, all white short-sleeved and floral dresses, Zhang Xin frowned and looked at the clothes hanging in the store, and shook his head.

Zhang Xin was a little disappointed in her heart, and when she was about to leave, a bearded man came out of the innermost cubicle, he was tall with a cigarette in his mouth, walked up to Zhang Xin, and looked at her condescendingly.

"What are you going to buy? I picked it myself. ”

Zhang Xin didn't like the smell of cigarettes very much, and the arrogant temperament of this man made her very annoying, so she lowered her head and didn't look at him.

"There's nothing to buy." Zhang Xin tried to bypass his tall body and walk outside.

"Wait a minute." The man grabbed Zhang Xin's arm, dragged her back in front of him, and looked at her whole body with his eyes.

"What are you doing, if that's the case, I'll call you a hooligan." Zhang Xin shook off his hand, took a few steps back, kept some distance from him, and raised his face to stare at him.

"You misunderstood, I'm not that kind of person, do you want to come in and drink some water and take a look at your clothes by the way." The man seemed to be a different person, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Xin with a smile on his face.

Zhang Xin happened to be a little tired, seeing that he couldn't do anything, and there was Teresa Teng's new song to listen to, so he nodded and followed him into the cubicle inside.

Inside is simply another world, posters of some stars such as Leslie Cheung and Teresa Teng are pasted on the wall, and there are albums of some singers who were very popular in Hong Kong at that time.

"Well, it's to your taste." The man beckoned Zhang Xin to sit down, took a bottle of drink from the cabinet and handed it to Zhang Xin.

"As soon as I look at your clothes, I know that you are a fellow traveler, why, have you been to Hong Kong before?" Zhang Xin looked down at his clothes, picked up his drink and took a sip.

"No, but I just went to Shenzhen not long ago, and I made this dress myself."

The man got up and changed another tape, and a deep and beautiful male voice came out of the radio in an instant.

"My name is Li Tian, I have been to Hong Kong once, I like the culture there very much, so I want to bring the trend there to the mainland, but I didn't expect to ask a friend to get a batch of goods, and I was detained halfway, this store also needs money, so I had no choice but to sell a batch of ordinary clothes first."

Zhang Xin didn't expect this person to be so similar to his own thoughts, and he immediately came to chat with him.

They talked about the living conditions there from the stars in the south, Li Tian was also a college student before, and he was expelled from school because he helped his brother fight injustice during school, and blinded a person's eyes by mistake.

I heard Li Tian say that after he was fired, he went to Hong Kong and stayed for more than a month, but he really had no money, so he had no choice but to buy a ticket and return here.

After Zhang Xin had a summer vacation, he didn't have a good chat with others, so he slowly let down his vigilance and chatted with Li Tian for a long time unconsciously.

"By the way, you just said that you made all the clothes on your body?"

Zhang Xin nodded, "Yes, I used to sell bell bottoms at school before!" This is not a holiday, I want to rent a temporary shop to sell clothes made by myself, but I can't find a suitable one. ”

Zhang Xin was worried when he mentioned this, he had planned well, but because of the problem of this store, all the plans were disrupted, and he had nothing to do every day.

"This is easy to do, you bring the things here, brother will help you sell them, the price will be four or six cents." Li Tian is also a real person, patting his chest and promising that he will definitely sell all of Zhang Xin's clothes.

Zhang Xin's eyes lit up, Li Tian's shop happened to be in the most prosperous department store in the city, if you buy clothes here, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to buy them.

It really didn't take much effort to get it, and after the conversation just now, although this Li Tian looks sloppy, he is also a thoughtful and reliable person, and the pants he made himself are useless at home, so it is better to take them out and try them out here.

Zhang Xin discussed with Li Tian about the allocation of funds and the business model, and she felt that the rent here would definitely not be cheap, and the profit would be more appropriate.

Li Tian was very happy to hear this, he didn't expect that he would meet such a savior when he was at a loss, and he was so reasonable, he immediately closed the store and invited Zhang Xin to dinner.

Li Tian is a cheerful person, he ordered five or six dishes at once, and urged Zhang Xin to eat, Zhang Xin couldn't eat anymore, so he put down his chopsticks.

As if it was destined, in this life, Zhang Xin's life became extra smooth.

The next day, according to the agreement, Zhang Xin first took twenty pairs of bell bottoms to Li Tian's shop, and asked him to place them in the most conspicuous position at the door, and the two sat on the side, very worried.
