Chapter 190: Bittersweet Remembrance

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to preferences, and this really can't be forced. People don't like to eat durian, you can't force people to eat it, right?

From morning to four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Nan was in charge of selling a total of durians, while the other fruits were sold for seven, seven, eight, eight.

"Mom, what should I do with this durian, it's been a day today, wouldn't it be bad if I sell it again tomorrow!" Li Nan looked at the remaining three durians, he was really a little entangled, but fortunately, he didn't bring much, and he brought a total of one durian.

One durian has four pieces of meat, one piece is sold, and there are three pieces left.

"Forget it, take it back and make durian mille-feuille for you to eat, and you can get some durian crisp for the rest. Ji Juan saw that it was not too early, although it was not impossible to sell fruits at night, but considering that Li Nan and they had to go to class tomorrow, they planned to close the stall and go home.

"Pack up your stuff and take it back!"

As soon as they ordered, Li Ji and Li Nan hurriedly gathered the remaining fruits and put them back in place, and then put them in the trunk and prepared to go home.

"Mom, it's unbelievable, I stood for eight hours today, and my calves and stomachs hurt to death!" Li Tong complained while sitting in the back of the car, rubbing his calves and ankles with his hands.

Li Nan didn't speak, because he didn't feel anything.

If he used his original physical fitness, it was estimated that he would be even worse than Li Tong. Because he is flat-footed, it is even more difficult to stand for a long time.

But not now, if a Jindan monk will be tired after standing for eight hours, then what is the point of cultivation? The so-called cultivation, in the final analysis, is not it the improvement of the entire physical fitness?

"Don't complain, my mother used to stand for more than eight hours!" Li Ji was a little sentimental on the side.

They were tired and alive after only standing for a day, but didn't Mom do this every day before?

"Brother, my mother is sitting, okay, my mother only stands up to collect money when the guests come!" Li Tong immediately retorted.

Mom has always been sitting, okay, because there is only one bench, so the three of them are standing to solicit guests, and Ji Juan is sitting there and is responsible for collecting money.

"Uh...... Isn't that because we're here? If we're not here, Mom, she'll definitely have to stand up and solicit guests!" Li Ji held back for a while, and stiffened his head.

Ji Juan also felt a little funny when she heard it in front: "That's really not, it's still quite tiring to stand all day long, I usually sit, and someone buys it before standing up to show respect."

I also have a horn for sale, but I didn't take it out with me in the car today!"

Who wouldn't enjoy it? If there is a horn to play, why open your mouth to say hello. If it weren't for the three of them today, and I wanted them to see it, there would be no need to bring a horn.

"Mom......" Li Jizhen feels that there is a sentence that my mother wants to talk about, and she didn't dismantle the stage like this, is this pro?

"Don't be unhappy, although you are not right in some places, but ten years ago, your father and I were not all selling on the streets.

At the beginning, I didn't know anything about the market audience, and some things could not be sold because they were too much, so I could only tow the car, and I walked several villages to sell the things. Speaking of this, Ji Juan couldn't help but think of the hard days at the beginning.

At that time, it was really hard, and I had to get up every day as soon as I was polished, riding a second-hand bicycle to buy goods, and I couldn't make much money all day long, so I really made a hard fee.

Because they don't have a supply of goods in their hands, they won't buy a lot every time they buy, so there is definitely not much discount on the price.

In this case, the purchase price is actually not much lower than the real selling price, and they have to sell cheaper than the store, if it is not cheaper than the store, people will not want to buy from you at all. How much money can you make in this way? Some needles and threads are basically not profitable.

Occasionally sell one or two large pieces, slightly more expensive things, to make a few dollars, but large items are so easy to sell, even if they can sell, they don't have the capital to buy more to sell. Because they can't afford it, they can't afford the consequences of those big items smashed in their hands.

From the beginning of the high-spirited, wanting to become bigger and stronger, to the later because of something smashed in his hands, the money saved in the previous years was lost, and then to work hard, life was a little better, but it was only ten years ago.

Later, I no longer thought about those who had and didn't, and I no longer thought about the news that I had become millionaires and multimillionaires by doing business in the sea, so I simply set up a shop, and turned the original street hawking into a fixed grocery store, and a few years ago it was changed to a supermarket.

The family's business has been Ji Juan's business since more than ten years ago.

At the beginning, a batch of things could not be sold in his hands, and after basically losing all the money he had saved in the past few years, Li Jianguo felt that he was really not a businessman, so he gave up, went out to work, and sent some money back every month.

Later, the grocery store business was rebuilt by Ji Juan little by little.

Those days were the hardest days, her husband was not at home, he was working outside, the three children at home had to be taken care of, and Ji Juan herself was busy buying and selling goods. In the first year or two, Li Nan and Li Tong were really picked up by Ji Juan in front of one and one in the back, selling on the street.

Later, it was better to make a shop.

Thinking about it now, Ji Juan felt that she was really a little magical at the beginning, and she was able to persist in such days, and now that she thinks about it, she feels that it was too bitter at that time, but she didn't feel bitter at that time, probably because she was too busy and tired, and she couldn't care about thinking about whether it was bitter or not.

"Mom......" Li Nan was a little worried, because he seemed to see that the corners of his mother's eyes were a little moist.

Ji Juan sniffed, yawned, rubbed the tears oozing from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just happy, how could I have thought that I could live such a day today!"

Yes, what's there to be sad about? The hard days are over.

Now that you have a car, a house, and children, aren't the good days still ahead?

......

At night, Li Jianguo was about to collapse, and the smell of durian was everywhere, especially the smell of durian crisp, and the smoked oven and kitchen were almost untreatable.

Li Jianguo couldn't stand the smell of durian at all, so he had already put on a mask before the durian crisp came out, and asked in a dying struggle: "Can you go out to eat?"

"No!" replied in unison.

Just kidding, it doesn't matter if you close the windows tightly when eating at home, if you go out to eat, the taste is too big, and it is easy to affect the harmony of the neighborhood.
