Chapter 18 Lantern Festival

Xu Ting continued to analyze: "Even if you only open ten chain stores, there will be 3.6 million yuan that year, one house a year!" ”

"Three million six hundred thousand yuan can't buy a good house in Yanjing, at least five or six million."

Mama Xu has been coming to Yanjing for almost half a year, and she has had more contact, and her horizons have naturally broadened a lot.

"Mom, I'm talking about buying a house in Luyang, how can you learn Versailles literature all the time, just the two of us now, as for it?" Xu Ting complained helplessly.

Mother Xu was confused, "What is Versailles, I haven't learned anything about Versailles." ”

"You don't need to learn this thing, as long as you have money, you will be self-taught." Xu Ting teased.

"Forget it, Mom doesn't go online, so I can't understand you young people."

Finally, they chatted a few more words, and seeing that the time was almost up, Xu's mother began to prepare dinner, and Xu Ting gave her a hand.

On the other side, after visiting the courtyard, Xu's father led his son-in-law to the convenience store.

Compared with the courtyard, this is his "base", and he has a greater sense of belonging.

"Ma Jie, don't look at my small store, but it can sell for 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan a day, and its turnover is higher than that of some medium-sized supermarkets." Dad Xu introduced with great interest.

"It's good, it's good." Ma Jie has no idea about the retail industry, so he can only be vague.

Dad Xu continued to talk eloquently:

"I was going to open the door on the fourth day of the new year, after all, the Winter Olympics opened and there were many tourists.

It's just that Dongzi had to take the whole family on a trip together, and as a result, he wasted several days of golden time, otherwise this month's turnover would definitely exceed 1 million. ”

"Dad, Dongzi, he is filial to your two elders!" Ma Jie persuaded in passing.

Xu Dong also echoed: "Dad, the money is endless, so why do you work hard, in life, the most important thing is to have fun in time!" ”

This is a little experience he summed up through the salted pork incident.

Dad Xu gave his son-in-law face and didn't say anything more.

Otherwise, it is rare to lash out at the four words "have fun in time", and a scolding is indispensable. If you put it when you are young, you can give a discount on the stick.

Next, the three of them walked around the neighborhood and went back, and when they got home, they happened to meet Yang Lina and her party who were returning with a full load.

It wasn't until more than eight o'clock in the evening that dinner began, mainly considering that Xu Ting and the others didn't eat until half past two in the afternoon.

The meal was very rich, more than 20 dishes were placed on a large table, and there were three hot pots alone, a three-fresh pork ribs pot, a beef pot, and a seafood pot.

The meal was lively.

The children played with each other, and the adults pushed the cups and changed the lamps, making Xu Dong feel that this meal was the real Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which somewhat made up for a little regret.

There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.

In a blink of an eye, on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, although there were too many reluctances, Xu Ting and his party still had to leave.

Before leaving, Xu's mother pulled her daughter aside and secretly stuffed her with a bank card.

"There is 100,000 yuan in the card, you quickly take it out and save it in your card."

Xu Ting was taken aback, and hurriedly excused herself: "Mom, what are you doing here?" The 100,000 yuan that Dongzi owes me has already been repaid. ”

"I know." Xu's mother forced the bank card into her daughter's bag and explained: "This is the subsidy that your father and I gave you, and I also wrapped a big red envelope on Jingyi's side." ”

"But ......"

"Don't be, this money was originally intended to subsidize the Dongzi family, and you know the situation at the time.

But your brother's family is not short of money now; Your eldest brother has a daughter, and the burden is light; As long as your family is burdened, you can accept it, the password is your birthday. ”

Xu Ting's eyes turned red when she said this, her own economic conditions cannot be said to be bad, but they are also of average level.

In addition, the two children will go to college in the future and buy a house for their son, and the burden is indeed getting heavier and heavier.

"Thank you, Mom!" Xu Ting wiped her tears.

"Thank you to Mom, Mom hopes that you will all be well, and you will be safe and smooth for the rest of your life."

sent away the old sister's family and eldest niece, and as the Lantern Festival approached, Xu Dong's whole person became more and more calm.

The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the times are about to change!

……

February 15, 2022, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of the Lantern Festival.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xu Dong got up on time as usual and took a hot shower.

Get dressed and freshen up.

He first glanced at the triplets, who were sleeping soundly.

Exiting the bedroom lightly, Xu Dong came to the kitchen next to the kitchen, where Xu Ma and Yang Lina had already made breakfast.

Breakfast was rice porridge, a plate of tea eggs, fresh milk, a few small stir-fries, and fried dough sticks bought from outside.

Dad Xu was sitting at the dining table, swiping his mobile phone and drinking porridge, looking like he had almost eaten.

"Dad, do you want to take a day off in the store during the Lantern Festival today?" After Xu Dong finished speaking, he gently drank a mouthful of sweet rice porridge.

Dad Xu frowned and refused without hesitation, "The store is full of old customers, how can you say that it will be closed when it is closed, since we call it a convenience store, we should put the word 'convenience' at the front......"

"Here we go again." Xu Dong said secretly.

After a while, Xu's father put down his chopsticks, took the leather hat handed over by Xu's mother, turned around and went to work at the convenience store.

Since Xu Dong began to go to the countryside to receive goods, the old man generally takes the bus to commute to work, just two stops away, which is very convenient.

When Xu Dong finished eating, the Coco sisters finally got up, and Xu Dong was not idle, skillfully tying the two of them with braids.

As for Xu Ma and Yang Lina, they are waiting for the triplets to get up at this time.

After breakfast, Xu Dong first went to the convenience store for a stroll, and then went to the nearby farmers' market to shop for some farm products that were not available in the warehouse.

At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Jiezi Dong came back in a small truck, and brought some snacks for the two girls along the way.

For lunch, I ate hot pot, and Xu's mother cut five or six catties of donkey meat, and added a large pot of hot vegetables, and the family ate heartily.

In the afternoon, Xu Dong chose a boutique supermarket and pulled back most of the truckload of vegetables and fruits directly from the warehouse.

Fresh food has a short shelf life, so this is the best time to procure.

Seeing that Xu Dong was unloading again, Xu's mother had long been accustomed to it, so she just asked, "What did you buy?" ”

"Vegetables and fruits, they will be sold in the store tomorrow."

"Didn't you send it directly to the store before?"

Xu Dong made up a reason on the spot, "This time it's a new supplier, and it's high-end fresh, so let's pull a batch back to test the water first." ”

When Xu Ma heard this, she became interested, stepped forward and fiddled with the vegetable leaves a few times, and said approvingly: "It's really good, it looks like it's smart." ”

"Mom, why don't you try these dishes at night, try the taste, and see if they taste good?" Xu Dong took the opportunity to suggest.

"Okay, I'll pick a few more."
