At that time, they were so poor, but so happy.

Now, Zhu Xiaohua is rich, but in addition to being poor, he is also even more unhappy.

Is it worth it to follow my brother and daughter-in-law all the way?

If Li Shufen hadn't been introduced to keep accounts, maybe it would have been a different scene now, right?

Zhu Xiaohua saw Lao Qiao's sadness, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't be sad, you still have our previous three major markets." The money lost at the train station will soon be earned. ”

"In these three major markets, the sales volume of 20,000 pieces per day is not much, but if you want to live a better life than ordinary people, there is still no problem at all."

Lao Qiao nodded, he wanted to thank Zhu Xiaohua for not kicking him out.

Otherwise, he would have to go back to the pre-liberation period, to the first day of selling popsicles on his bicycle.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "I want to set up a popsicle factory, are you interested in continuing to work together?" ”

Old Joe was stunned.

Zhu Xiaohua said frankly: "Mr. Li of the popsicle factory has reduced the supply, there is no way, I can only find a way by myself." ”

Old Qiao's face flushed, thinking of what he had done to Zhu Xiaohua, he was only ashamed.

If it weren't for his own instigation, Mr. Li of the popsicle factory should not have raised the price for Zhu Xiaohua and reduced the supply.

It was he who gave Zhu Xiaohua the trouble.

He shook his head: "No, I don't have that much capital, and I don't want to mess around anymore." ”

After Lao Qiao finished speaking, he took the lead in leaving, and after walking to the other side of the road, he seemed to remember something, turned around and said: "By the way, the money earned in the three major markets of Xiangshan Park, Bailu Temple, and Xuefu Road Area should be given dividends to me in time." ”

Zhu Xiaohua grinned: "Don't worry, yours are indispensable." ”

After Lao Qiao walked away, Chen Xiangwan said puzzledly: "The daily sales volume of those three major markets is only 20,000, while the daily sales volume of our newly developed railway station and bus station market is 60,000. He was actually unwilling to cooperate, I don't know what this Brother Qiao thinks? ”

Zhu Xiaohua shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, let's go back." ”

After returning to the wholesale center of the railway station, Zhu Xiaohua looked at the wall calendar on the wall and asked the accountant Shen Yue: "What day is it today?" ”

These days are busy, day and night, and he doesn't even know what day it is.

Shen Yue glanced at the wall calendar and said, "July 28th." ”

Zhu Xiaohua was taken aback: "Oops, it's not good!" ”

Shen Yue and Chen Xiangwan had never seen their boss so panicked, and couldn't help asking, "What's the big deal?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Pay back, today is the deadline to repay the money!" ”

He remembers very well that when he wrote IOUs to his neighbors, it happened to be June 28, and he promised to pay it back within a month.

Unexpectedly, a month has passed, and his own people are still in Lucheng.

Zhu Xiaohua hurriedly went to the train station to buy a train ticket, and he had to rush back today.

After Zhu Xiaohua bought the train ticket, he went upstairs to pack his luggage.

Chen Xiangwan and Shen Yue were downstairs, and when they heard the sound of "jingling bells" upstairs, they couldn't help but be curious: What does the boss want to do when he is yelling?

After a while, I saw Zhu Xiaohua coming downstairs with a big bag on his back.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "I have something to do, and I want to go back to Los Angeles." Here you take care of it for a few days. ”

Chen Xiangwan grabbed Zhu Xiaohua: "Brother Zhu, there are still 10,000 pieces of goods missing tomorrow." The market for railway stations and bus stations is not yet fully secured, and if we can't supply them, these markets will soon be snatched up by others. ”

Zhu Xiaohua was stunned.

Shen Yue also persuaded on the side: "That's right, Brother Zhu, is there anything we can't do for you, you have to go there yourself?" ”

However, if you stay, what will happen to your brother and sister?

In the eyes of his neighbors, I am afraid that he will completely become a dishonest old man.

At the beginning, he swore to pat his chest and promise that he would repay the money within a month, and there would be no accidents. Now......

Alas, it is really better to count people than to heaven.

No matter what, he's going to break his promise.

Even if I rush back today, I'm afraid it's already the second half of the night.

You can't wake people up in the middle of the night to pay back the money, right?

If it's past twelve o'clock, it doesn't count.

Zhu Xiaohua shook his head, put down his backpack, and said, "I was impulsive. ”

Indeed, the market for 50,000 or 60,000 popsicles a day is more important than the more than 100 dollars that are paid back to the neighbors.

Once it is snatched away, it may not be so easy to regain it.

Zhu Xiaohua turned around and went back upstairs and put down his duffel bag.

Then he came down and handed the train ticket to Shen Yue, saying, "If you are free, help me refund the train ticket." ”

Shen Yue took the train ticket, only to see that it was written: "Lucheng to Los Angeles, the fare is two pieces, valid for five days, and the train is limited to the day of the day." ”

Shen Yue exclaimed and said, "It turns out that Brother Zhu's family is from Los Angeles." ”

Zhu Xiaohua asked, "Do you know where there is a telegraph nearby?" ”

In this era, communication is not yet developed, the telephone has not yet been popularized, and there is no mobile phone, WeChat, QQ and other communication equipment, the only way to communicate is to write a letter, or send a telegram.

And sending a telegram is the quickest method.

Shen Yue said: "I know that there are places where you can send telegrams. Just behind the train station, across the street. ”

Shen Yue volunteered to take Zhu Xiaohua to send a telegram.

They left the shop to Chen Xiangwan and others to guard, and then hurried out.

Before going out, Shen Yue put Zhu Xiaohua's train ticket into her coat pocket, and she wanted to refund the train ticket by the way.

The two walked north along East Station Road, and when they passed the uncle's popsicle wholesale center along the way, the signboard there was gone.

Shen Yue said: "I didn't expect that my uncle, who was prosperous a few days ago, would disappear in an instant. ”

Zhu Xiaohua smiled slightly, Lao Qiao's family snatched 10,000 of their own goods from the popsicle factory this time and disappeared? I'm afraid they won't disappear so easily.

If I go back to Los Angeles on impulse today, then when I come back, I'm afraid I will be the one who will disappear.

At the critical moment of this kind of battle, how can you take it lightly?

The two soon reached a street north of the train station, and in an inconspicuous location, they found a green post office.

Shen Yue said: "This is where the telegram is sent. There are only three in Jeolla City, and this happens to be the most recent. ”

Zhu Xiaohua pushed the door into the house, and the staff was chatting boredly with their backs against the window.

In this era, telegraphs are not cheap, and ordinary people cannot afford to use them.

There are fewer people to use, and their work is very leisurely.

Seeing Zhu Xiaohua come in, she chatted with her colleague opposite for two or three minutes before she turned around slowly and asked, "Comrade, what kind of business do you do?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Send a telegram. ”

Zhu Xiaohua reported the address of Jia Liang's Art Troupe to her.
