On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Dui and Liu Qingli were woken up by the sound of firecrackers again.

The beautiful rich woman was very puzzled, the firecrackers were set off for most of the night last night, and not long after she fell asleep, someone put them again, and the Spring Festival in the countryside was too lively.

"Qingli, I have to get up first, go out for a walk later, and then come back to catch up on sleep."

"Why?"

"You'll know when the time comes!"

On the morning of the first day of the new year, you have to eat rice balls according to tradition.

It's just that the rice balls in Shen Du's hometown are not the common ones, but the "large rice balls" made by the villagers themselves.

The filling inside is generally divided into two kinds, sugar or meat, and there are often people wrapping a few coins in it, and whoever can eat it means that the year will be lucky.

Shen Dui made a heart, and put a lot of coins, and everyone ate them.

The rich woman eats several coins, and every time she laughs from ear to ear.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the family went out together, and the local custom was that on this day, they had to pay New Year's greetings to the "old man"; To put it bluntly, it is to go to the grave.

Shen Dui's original plan was not to let Liu Qingli go with her, strictly speaking, she was still a daughter-in-law who had never been through the door.

However, what he didn't expect was that after the beautiful rich woman figured out the reason, she took the initiative to propose to go.

It took an hour to come to the graves of my grandparents to pay respects, and two strings of firecrackers were set off before the family went back.

In this process, although Liu Qingli behaved very well-behaved, her mood was a little low, and she made a decision in her heart that when she returned to the magic capital, she would also take Shen Du to a place.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no matter how busy people are, they put down their farm work, happily play with the children at home, and accompany the elderly to set up a dragon gate array.

In the second year of junior high school, just after breakfast, Cheng Yuzhen stopped her son: "Do you want to go to grandma's house with me this year?" ”

"Mom, don't you need it?"

Shen Du groaned: "If my grandparents are alive, not only do I have no reason to refuse; On the contrary, I will ask to go, and in this situation, there is not much point in going again. ”

His grandparents passed away earlier, and in his memory, only his grandmother had a vague impression, and he had never even seen his grandfather's face, only seen photos.

There are two uncles, and the family conditions are very good, but unfortunately they haven't moved for many years.

The reason why Cheng Yuzhen suddenly asked was because she wanted to take her daughter-in-law to recognize the door.

However, what her son said was not unreasonable, and she did not force it, going out alone, etiquette must be indispensable.

It wasn't until the third day of the Lunar New Year that Shen Du took the beautiful rich woman and accompanied her mother to her aunt's house.

My aunt was so happy that she turned out all the eggs and duck eggs at home, not only did she eat a lot for lunch, but she also put the remaining eggs into a bag when she left, and she had to take Liu Qingli to eat them on the road.

Cheng Yuzhen told her aunt not to forget the opening time of the supermarket.

After returning home, Shen Du saw that Lao Shen was holding a small notebook, sitting on the sofa and frowning, judging from the cigarette butts on the ground, he had smoked several cigarettes one after another.

He sat down with Liu Qingli and asked, "Why do you always feel like you're sighing during the New Year?" ”

"It's not about supermarkets yet."

Lao Shen extinguished the cigarette: "There are only five days left for the opening of the eighth day of the new year, and other preparations have been made, but I don't have a clue about the publicity." ”

"It's not easy!" Shen Du said with a smile, "Let's go and print some leaflets, invite the villagers of Shunheyan out, 50 yuan a day, and ensure that every corner of the town can be publicized in one or two days." ”

He had already thought of a way, the income of rural people was 50 yuan a day, and the work was not tiring, just handing out leaflets, and I don't know how many people would rush to do it, and they were very energetic.

"Huh?"

Lao Shen's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head: "The supermarket is not profitable yet, just thinking about spending money." ”

It's not that he can't think of this way, it's just a long-term inherent concept, and he hasn't considered it at all from the aspect of spending money to hire people, 50 yuan a day, and he can't earn so much from working the construction site.

"Uncle, you have to change some way of thinking."

Liu Qingli spoke: "After you have a supermarket, you are the boss, to put it mildly, you are a small capitalist, and you can't save the investment you should have."

"Uncle, you can't think about doing everything yourself, many times, hiring someone to do the work seems to cost money, but in fact it wins time to make money, and it is more efficient."

Old Shen nodded with a smile, if this was not from his daughter-in-law's mouth, if Shen Du said it, he would definitely be opposed.

Liu Qingli also took the opportunity to put forward some suggestions: opening activities, discounts and so on.

Shen Dui moved quickly, immediately launched a 28-bar bicycle, and dragged the beautiful rich woman to the town, and finally found a printing shop that was open for business.

The beautiful rich woman took matters into her own hands, opened the word operation and typesetting on the computer, and spent a lot of time and was finally satisfied.

The two were ruthless enough to print nearly 4,000 leaflets.

If the shop hadn't run out of paper, I'm afraid it would have continued to print.

The owner of the shop smiled from ear to ear, this year is really lucky, the first day of opening the door to make a lot of money, in a good mood, did not increase the price due to the Spring Festival.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Yuzhen mobilized her neighbors and selected ten people to come out for a two-day propaganda work.

It's just that she cut her son's salary from 50 yuan to 40 yuan, and Rao is still robbed by everyone.

Six men and four middle-aged aunts went out excitedly, each with more than 300 leaflets, plus two bottles of glue.

Shen Du took the beautiful rich woman to the soon-to-open supermarket to have a look.

The shelves and goods have been placed in an orderly manner, and the floor is spotless.

7 or 8 waiters are also in place, and my aunt has become the captain of the service.

Shen Du was very satisfied with this, told everyone to work hard, and chatted with her aunt for a while before pulling Liu Qingli out of the house.

Before leaving, he took a photo of the beautiful rich woman at the door of the supermarket, using a Nokia 7610 walnut machine, although the clarity is not enough, it is enough to leave a souvenir.

The important thing is that Shen Du deliberately chose a tricky angle, using Liu Qingli's body to block the word "supermarket", and the result of the whole photo became:

The main picture is a pleasing beauty, and above her head are the three words of the door signboard: Qiao daughter-in-law!

When the beautiful rich woman saw the photo, she couldn't cry or laugh.

In the end, they also went to order ten large flower baskets, and asked the store to place them in front of the supermarket early the day after tomorrow.

……

The eighth day of the first month.

Lao Shen and Chen Yuzhen went out early in the morning, and Shen Du and Liu Qingli got up and had breakfast, and hurried to the town unhurriedly.

The supermarket officially opened at ten o'clock, but at this moment it was already full of people, surrounded by the crowd of people.

It didn't take long for the simple opening ceremony to start, not as much as in the city, just a few strings of firecrackers and a team of drummers to blow and blow and beat.

Focus on two words: lively!

Immediately afterwards, thousands of people rushed into the supermarket, leaving the service team led by my aunt too busy.

Originally, among these people who came, there may not be shopping needs, but the appearance of a large supermarket in the poor countryside is very attractive in itself, and there is nothing to lose by looking at the excitement.

When everyone came here, they realized that they were thinking too much.

The posters on the walls and on the counter are written with ultra-low discount prices, which makes everyone's hearts flutter, let alone walk around, and there are all kinds of daily necessities, and there are almost no things that cannot be bought.

So, even if they were unprepared, they spent more than ten or twenty yuan to buy something small to take away.

Cheng Yuzhen stood at the cash register, looking at the crowded supermarket with excitement on her face, holding a loudspeaker in her hand and shouting: "Don't crowd, everyone queue up to check out more efficiently!" ”

Shen Du equipped the supermarket with two cash registers, which my father and mother didn't know how to use, and recruited two little girls who had relevant work experience in the city, but they were still too busy. valley

"Qingli, you're here!"

Seeing her son, Cheng Yuzhen squeezed out of the counter, but the object of greeting was her daughter-in-law: "Look, do you want to add two more cash registers?" ”

"No, you don't!"

Shen Du shook his head: "Mom, our supermarket is the first in the town, and when it first opened, there were naturally many people, and after a few days, the flow of people would drop to normal levels." ”

Cheng Yuzhen was taken aback: "Are you saying that business will get worse and worse in the future?" ”

Liu Qingli said with a smile: "Auntie, any supermarket opening is almost like this, but don't worry, according to the current situation, it is within our expectations." ”

Cheng Yuzhen was obviously relieved: "That's good, that's good!" ”

That night, Lao Shen and his wife came back late, and after returning to the bedroom, they were still discussing the business situation of the supermarket today.

Shen Du didn't ask, he just needed to know that he wouldn't lose money.

He opened this supermarket, mainly so that the second elder had something to do, and he could maintain his daily expenses even if he could achieve his goal.

The supermarket opened as originally planned, and Shen Du had already decided to go.

On the side of the Dream House real estate, he didn't have anything to worry about, and he didn't expect any benefits in the short term anyway, the focus was on the Dusk Company.

If it was in normal times, Shen Duan would not be in a hurry, the problem is that at this point in time, the company in the city has already gone to work normally, and a group of high-level executives in Dusk are still waiting for Yang Fan to go overseas after he goes back.

On the contrary, Liu Qingli didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Shen Du pressed his patience and waited for another day.

It wasn't until the evening of the ninth day of the first month that he spoke: "Old Shen, Mom, I have to go back to the magic capital!" ”

"What, back to the Demon Capital?"

Cheng Yuzhen was shocked when she heard this, it seemed that she had been completely accustomed to her son and daughter-in-law by her side in the past few days, and she didn't react until a long time: "It's been so fast, it's been more than 20 days since you came back." ”

Lao Shen lit the cigarette, took a hard puff, looked up and asked, "When?" ”

Don't look at him usually out of tune, but many times he knows his son's mind better than his wife, and he can bring his daughter-in-law back to accompany them for nearly a month, which must be under a lot of work pressure.

"Tomorrow."

Since Shen Du opened his mouth, he would not procrastinate, no matter how long he stayed, his parents were just as reluctant when he left.

"Tomorrow?"

Cheng Yuzhen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lao Shen: "Okay, tomorrow your mother and I will go to the supermarket later, and prepare something for you first." ”

"Hmm!"

Shen Du nodded and took the beautiful rich woman upstairs.

After Liu Qingli went upstairs, he immediately sent a text message to the driver of the magic capital, there was no accident, and he had to ask the driver to go to the fog capital and drive the car back.

That night, Cheng Yuzhen almost couldn't sleep all night, and pulled Lao Shen and said several times: "I can't bear them." ”

Lao Shen smiled bitterly: "My son is older and has his own career, we can't delay the two little ones." ”

Cheng Yuzhen bowed: "I understand the reason, but I can't bear it." ”

Following!

When Shen Du got up, he secretly took out 100,000 cash and put it in the second elder's bedroom. Don't look at the parents who opened the supermarket, it is almost impossible to get them to break the habit of saving, and you can rest assured that you can save some cash at home for emergency use.

After going downstairs, Cheng Yuzhen had already prepared a lot of eggs, duck eggs, vegetables, etc., and kimchi would naturally not be lacking.

Lao Shen, on the other hand, tied the legs of five chickens with straw.

He remembered that his daughter-in-law said that he would bring live chickens back to the magic capital; Moreover, Lao Shen thought more thoughtfully, and among the five chickens he caught, there were four hens and a big rooster.

The four of them had breakfast and came to Lijia Dawan with a lot of things.

"Shen Dui, Qingli, you have to remember to go home often!"

Cheng Yuzhen held her daughter-in-law in her arms, her eyes red.

"Auntie, I will."

Liu Qingli replied like this, but she was thinking in her heart, this matter depends on your son's meaning, if he doesn't come back, I can't run over alone.

Shen Du said to Lao Shen: "The supermarket has invited someone, and my aunt is also there, you don't need to stay so late every day, your body is the most important thing...... By the way, Lao Shen, you smoke less. ”

Lao Shen smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I know!" ”

He is happy in his heart, there are cigarettes sold in the supermarket, and it will be useless for his wife to hide cigarettes in the future.

Shen Du suddenly thought of something: "Why don't you get in the car together and let me give you a ride by the way, anyway, you have to go to the town?" ”

Lao Shen flatly refused: "No, I'll go with you, and I'll have to say goodbye when the time comes." ”

Shen Du agreed with his father's statement, but he was not reluctant.

He got into the car and waved to the second elder: "Old Shen, Mom, let's go!" ”

Lao Shen still had a cigarette butt in his hand: "Go quickly, hurry up." ”

Cheng Yuzhen shouted: "Qingli, if Shen Du bullies you, remember to call me!" ”

The beautiful rich woman's heart was warm: "Auntie, don't worry, goodbye!" Goodbye, uncle! ”

"Boom ......"

The engine of the car starts, and the white Maserati rushes towards the road like a horse, getting faster and faster.

In the rear, Cheng Yuzhen was still beckoning.

"If you miss them, you can call at any time." Lao Shen persuaded, "Let's go, the supermarket is busy." ”

……

In the car, the beautiful rich woman asked, "Why are you driving so fast?" ”

"If I drive slowly, I'm afraid I can't help but stop, or even turn around and go back."

"Why don't you come back next time and take your uncle and aunt to the magic capital?"

"It's okay to stay for a while, but I'm afraid it won't work for a long time."

Shen Du had done such a thing in his previous life, but after the second elder arrived in the metropolis, he was not used to it in all aspects, and even many people in the community could not understand what he was saying, and he still did not live comfortably in his hometown.

Liu Qingli quickly figured out the reason: "Then what should I do?" ”

Shen Du smiled bitterly: "The only way is to find more time to go home!" ”

Three hours later, the two arrived at Wudu Airport, the professional driver brother was already waiting here, and after a smooth handover, they found a place to have lunch and went straight to the terminal.

I encountered a delay again today, and when I arrived in the magic capital, I found that it was raining.

By the time Shen Du and Liu Qingli returned to Yipin Garden, night had already fallen.

Just arrived home, and before he had time to rest and tidy up, Cheng Yuzhen called from the supermarket: "Did you arrive, did it go well?" ”

Shen Du smiled: "Mom, don't worry, we went well, we arrived early, and now we have all eaten and bathed, and watched TV on the sofa." ”

"I won't tell you, give the phone to Qingli!"
