After arranging all this, it was time for the end of the semester, and Han Mingxiu finished the final exam like a fish in water, and ushered in her second summer vacation after going to college.

On the first day of the summer vacation, Han Mingxiu took Xiaoqiu and her sisters to the door of Wangfujing Department Store to sell orange juice.

In those days, the state's management of small stalls and vendors was not as strict as in modern times, so they went to the gate of Tiananmen Square to sell things, and they did not have to worry about being driven out, let alone having chengguan confiscate things.

Because today was the first day of practicing the stall, Han Mingxiu wanted to explore the way, so he didn't bring too many oranges to them, and only took a hundred catties.

In addition, she prepared 20 cups, a bucket of water for brushing the cups, and some ice cubes, which she put in a box of ice cream that she had prepared in advance.

When he arrived at the gate of the department store, Han Mingxiu stopped the tricycle, put the things in order, and began to shout loudly: "Orange juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, two cents a cup, everyone come and taste it......"

Han Mingxiu shouted as he took out the juicer, skillfully squeezed out a glass of orange juice, and then took out some ice cubes from the box and put them in the orange juice.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, the pure natural juice with ice is delicious and thirst-quenching......"

Han Mingxiu shouted like this, and sure enough, many people who came and went were attracted, and then, a fashionably dressed young man took out two cents and handed it to Han Mingxiu.

"Comrade, give me a drink."

As soon as Xiaoqiu saw that the business was coming, she hurriedly squeezed a glass of orange juice, and excitedly handed it to the young man, "Comrade, give it to ......"

The young man took the cup, put it to his lips and took a sip.

"Well, it's delicious!" After taking a sip, the young man was immediately amazed by the taste of the juice, and gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

"It's so delicious, it tastes like nothing beats......" he said, "grunting" as he drank the orange juice from his glass.

In order to make the orange juice sell well, Han Myung-so deliberately chose a pure transparent glass. In this way, the beautiful color of orange juice can be displayed in front of customers at a glance, arousing everyone's desire to buy.

After the young man drank a glass, he still felt unsatisfied, so he bought another one.

With him doing live advertisements on the spot, people kept coming to buy them, "Comrade, bring me a ......"

"I want a ...... too"

The business of the stall suddenly became popular, and many people passing by saw that everyone was gathered here to buy juice, so they all came over to buy a cup and try it, anyway, two cents is not a large amount, and anyone can afford it.

That's it, buying juice one after another, Han Mingxiu and Xiaoqiu are busy squeezing juice for customers, Xiao Si is responsible for collecting money and settling accounts, and Xiao Wu is responsible for brushing cups.

Several people were very busy, and in less than two hours, all the 100 catties of oranges were sold, and there were those that were not bought after squeezing for a long time, licking their lips and regretting.

"Sister-in-law, look, we've sold out all the juice!" While packing the box, Xiaoqiu excitedly proposed: "Can you tell your friends to buy us more oranges every day, a hundred catties is not enough to sell!" ”

Xiao Si hugged her satchel tightly, and said excitedly: "Yes, according to this sales method, we won't have to work hard to sell three or five hundred catties a day." ”

"Yes, yes, it's not very hot these days, if it gets hot in a few days, our juice will definitely sell better." Xiao Wu also said excitedly.

Han Mingxiu saw the excited looks of several sisters-in-law, and was also very happy that he could help them do something, so he smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll tell him tomorrow and ask him to prepare five hundred catties for us a day, I estimate that it can be sold for five hundred catties in this hot Chengdu, but there is no need to force it, if we can't sell it, we will take it back and squeeze the juice ourselves." ”

As soon as Xiaoqiu heard her sister-in-law say that she couldn't sell it and take it back, she hurriedly shook her pigtails and said with a firm face: "Sister-in-law, we can sell it, we can definitely sell it!" If we can't sell it, we won't go back to the dormitory, and when it's sold out, we'll go back. ”

Although the summer vacation is over, the sisters still live in the school.

Because it is a technical school, it is a place where the main student is technical, so it is not quite the same as a school where you learn cultural knowledge. The school still has some classes during the summer vacation, so the dormitory and canteen are not closed, and Xiaoqiu and the others can continue to live in the dormitory and continue to eat in the school cafeteria.

As soon as Han Mingxiu heard Xiaoqiu say that he would not go back if he couldn't sell them out, he knew that this child was reluctant to leave oranges, but Xiaoqiu and the others were all girls after all, and it would not be good if they went back too late. It's too late, it's very likely that you'll meet bad guys, even if you don't meet bad guys, the girl's family will always go back so late, and you will be indestructible.

So, Han Mingxiu gave them a death order: they must go back to the dormitory before nine o'clock every night, regardless of whether they are sold out or not! If you can't sell out, keep it for tomorrow, and if you run out of time, then throw it away.

It's just a few oranges, which is more important than the safety of the girls?

Although Xiaoqiu and the others were reluctant to throw oranges, they listened to their sister-in-law's words, and since their sister-in-law asked them like this, they had to reluctantly agree.

When they returned to the courtyard of the corner tower to deliver the tricycle, the four of their aunts and sisters-in-law counted the money they had earned today.

One hundred pounds of oranges, no more, no less, exactly ten yuan.

After only working for more than two hours, they earned ten yuan, and this old money is almost catching up with what they earned in a month when they worked in their hometown.

The next morning, Han Mingxiu went to the courtyard on the other side of the corner tower when he ran in the morning, and put five hundred catties of oranges in the wing room of the courtyard.

Because orange juice is not like other food, you don't need to go out of the stall too early, and few people want to drink early in the morning, basically you can go out of the stall at eight or nine o'clock.

Now the weather is hot, the time of the stall is eight or nine o'clock, and the night can go out until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the sisters can take turns to rest when they are not busy, so that they will not be too tired, and it will not affect the money, killing two birds with one stone.

Han Mingxiu only went out with them for a day and stopped going. After all, this is their sisters' own business, and she has completed her responsibility by guiding them on the road.

If she follows them every day, first, she doesn't have so much time, and second, Xiaoqiu and they will also have a psychological burden.

If she followed them, Xiaoqiu would definitely want to give her a share of the money they earned, and if Han Mingxiu didn't want the money they gave her, they would feel guilty and feel sorry for her, so from the next day, she let them do it alone.

Except for going to the courtyard of the corner tower every morning to deliver fruits, and going there every two nights to collect the "capital of purchases," the rest, basically don't worry about Han Mingxiu.

It can be seen that the sisters are very active and are pleasantly surprised by their income.

Once when she went to collect money, Xiaoqiu said to her excitedly: "Sister-in-law, I never dreamed that doing business could make so much money!" Otherwise, I'll sell juice for the rest of my life, I think it's more profitable than being a tailor. ”

Han Mingxiu immediately corrected her thoughts and said: "Being a man can't just look at the immediate benefits, looking at the present, you are indeed better at selling juice than making clothes, but selling juice is not a long-term solution, and the juice can be sold well in these two months in a year, and when the weather is cold after these two months, who will drink juice?" ”

"Besides, your skill in clothing cutting is your skill, and you can use it to support your family at any time, but this fruit juice business is subject to certain conditions, if it exceeds the scope of the conditions, you can't do it, so it's better to have a skill."

Xiaoqiu listened to Han Mingxiu's words, and then dispelled the idea of dropping out of school to sell juice. It's just that she secretly decided that even if she goes back to school in the future, she can come out to sell juice for a while at night, and she won't give up easily in such a lucrative business......

The orange juice industry is currently the only one in the capital, and the price of orange juice is not expensive and the taste is sweet, so the business is very good.

The three of them sell a lot of oranges every day, and they can basically sell out 500 catties of oranges every day, that is to say, they have an income of 50 yuan every day.

It's only been a week since the holiday, and the sisters have saved hundreds of dollars. In addition to repaying the tuition money that Han Mingxiu paid for them, there is still a sum left.

One day, it was raining heavily, because the rain was too heavy to go out of the stall, the Xiaoqiu sisters came to Uncle Gao's house together and returned the tuition money that Han Mingxiu had paid for them to Han Mingxiu.

Brother Jianfeng and his sister-in-law helped them get out of the tiger's mouth, arranged their future, and helped them earn so much money, they are really grateful to their brother and sister-in-law.

Xiaoqiu and they don't want to owe too much to their sister-in-law, otherwise they will have a psychological burden, so now that they have money, they hurry up to pay back their sister-in-law's money.

When he came to Uncle Gao's house, Han Mingxiu was sitting at home reading the letter.

The letter was written by the eldest sister, and since the eldest sister and their family returned from the capital, the frequency of correspondence between the sisters has become more frequent.

In this letter, the eldest sister told her about some of the parents in her hometown.

First of all, the eldest sister's family has built a house, and the original three small adobe houses in the family have been turned into five red brick ridges, and now if they go back to their hometown, they will have a place to live, and they don't have to go to grandma's house to find accommodation.

In addition, the eldest daughter of the uncle's family, Xiao Jing, is engaged. An inspector of the grain store in the target town is scheduled to get married on the sixth day of the next month, and the uncle specially explained to Han Mingcui and asked her to try to inform Han Mingxiu so that Han Mingxiu could take the time to come back to attend the wedding.

It is impossible for Han Myung-so to go back.

Although she is now in the middle of the summer vacation and has nothing to do, she is not happy to run back and forth.

Mainly because her relationship with her uncle's family has not yet reached the point where she deliberately runs back for the sake of their family's affairs. Although the uncle was okay to her when she lived in Tunzi in the past, it was only okay, and it didn't help her lonely niece too much. It's like when she was forced by her grandmother to marry Zhang Erdonkey, when she hit the wall in anger, her uncle didn't help herself.

Therefore, Han Mingxiu only sent them some money back to follow the gifts, and did his best.

Some relatives have interactions, as long as they are maintained to "can", there is no need to be too close, only those relatives who have experienced the test are worth treating each other with heart and maintaining with heart, and the relationship that has not passed the test is not worth paying more attention to.

In the letter, the eldest sister also told her a gossip.

This gossip is the hottest gossip in the entire commune now, that is, Secretary Gao was dismissed.

The reason is difficult to explain, it turned out to be because Secretary Gao had an improper relationship with a woman and was masturbated.

It is said that Secretary Gao and the woman have been together for several years, since the death of Secretary Gao's wife, he has been following the woman's broken shoes, and recently unfortunately was blocked in the bed by the husband of the old lady, and then the woman's husband was angry and picked up Secretary Gao and beat him fat.

Secretary Gao is in his fifties, and he is used to being pampered, how can he beat a man in his thirties who is in his prime, he was beaten half to death by the anxious man, and he was thrown on the street for everyone to watch.

This matter was exposed.

As a commune cadre, he made such a low-level mistake, which had an extremely bad impact on society and seriously affected the prestige of party members and cadres in the hearts of the masses.

So, he was relieved of his post as secretary of the commune and let him go home to be an old peasant.
