Chapter 107: Understatement
After Xinlan and Li Li broke up, it was mid-afternoon when they returned to their store. She put down her luggage, opened the lock and went into the house, pulled the light, and looked at everything in front of her, although she was still a little resistant in her heart, it was no longer strong.
The trip back to the station, let her keep thinking about Chen Ping's decisiveness on the way back, which added a lot of motivation to her heart.
On the way back, she came up with an idea, that is, she must settle down and start to seriously manage this square inch of land, and strive to make achievements that are impressive.
The structure of the house is really unreasonable, and there is no opening on the side of the ticket window, but a two-meter-long window is open for sales next to the corner towards the square.
The window is usually sealed with a gusset, but it is only opened at the time of sale. Looking at this structure, Xinlan couldn't change it for a while, so she had to first clean the walls, floors, and cases in the house with a broom according to the original layout, and wiped all the cases with a rag, and then placed the wooden box containing melon seed candy neatly.
After this busyness, I felt a little bit of the bottom of my heart, and then I went back to think about how to arrange a place to rest at night.
There is no extra space in the house, and the door is separated by the doorpost is a long case for selling goods, the case is about three meters long, more than one meter wide, there are two floors up and down, the upper layer can be placed in two rows of goods, and there is no place in the middle of the lower layer.
She dismissed the idea of lying on the top row of cases, and instead began to plan the use of the row below.
She didn't know what the row of Lao Sun's house below was used to place when it was originally in business, but she felt that the seven or eight bags of things on the back shelf could not be placed in the upper row, and the lower layer was not used, so that she could completely clean up the lower layer and use it as a place to sleep.
Thinking of this, she was very happy for her idea. She took advantage of the feeling to measure the space between the two floors, then laid out the cover, lay down on the bunk and tried it, feeling that although the space was not too much, it could still cope with the past.
With this bed, Xinlan felt relaxed, she put the change of clothes in a small cardboard box in the store and put it inside the temporary bed as a partition, and then put the daily necessities together and put them in the basin, and stuffed them under the bed.
After all this, Xinlan was indescribably happy in her heart, she lay down on the bed again, lying on her back in this small space, she wanted to enjoy it first, but she didn't expect to look at the back of the case in front of her, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She couldn't help but think about it, the space in front of her made her suddenly feel like a coffin, she was like a dying person who had exhausted her energy, and she seemed to sleep to death.
But in an instant, she thought of the mission she came to, this space may be the starting point for her to get up, her future is not this, she has to cheer up, thinking of this, Xinlan smiled bitterly, and then carefully got out of bed and stood up, and began to learn to sort out the melon seeds to be sold at night.
Xinlan poured the melon seed candy and orchid beans in the bag into the box in order, and then learned to weigh them little by little and tried to put them into the remaining paper bags of Lao Sun's house, and repeatedly carried the respective prices of these things.
I kept practicing it over and over again...... The afternoon movie ended. As soon as Sun Wei got off work, he walked out of the theater and involuntarily swept towards Aunt Xinlan's shop, but the scene in front of him made him a little surprised.
I saw that although the buckle plate at the sales entrance of Aunt Xinlan's store had not been removed, the lights were on in the store, and Aunt Xinlan was walking around the house non-stop, touching here for a while, touching there for a while, and it was obvious that she was busy doing something.
Sun Wei didn't dare to determine what Aunt Xinlan was busy with, so he hurried over to look, but saw that the boxes on the counter in the store were full of goods, and there were neatly arranged all kinds of food that had been packaged on the side, but Aunt Xinlan was muttering something in her mouth.
Sun Wei tried to poke his ears and listen, but he didn't hear clearly, but he woke up Aunt Xinlan, who was concentrating on practicing.
When Xinlan saw Sun Wei like that, she couldn't help but smile, and asked Sun Wei in a somewhat show-off tone: Xiaowei, what's the matter?
It's okay for you and me to do this, right? Sun Wei listened to the question, stepped into the house, stood at the door and looked at the house seriously, and said seriously: Auntie, it's not okay, it's too good!
After speaking, he looked around and said: Auntie, in fact, you don't have to be in such a hurry. Come here for two days and get used to it!
Xinlan heard him say this, knowing that Sun Wei liked to joke, so she still said in a joking tone: What's the matter, Xiaowei, do you still need to adapt to your aunt's sphere of influence?
Besides, if I don't hurry up, why will I pay you back this child's money? When Sun Wei heard Aunt Xinlan say this, he hurriedly stopped the conversation and said: Auntie, stop quickly, don't mention the matter of money, even if I honor you.
As for this piece, although you can rest assured to do your business, as long as you mention me, not bragging, none of them dare to bully you!
Hearing Sun Wei say this, Xinlan was convinced, she remembered the time she met Sun Wei at the station to help her buy a ticket, but even then she didn't want Sun Wei to cause trouble for herself, so she said to Sun Wei: Don't worry, Xiaowei, your aunt is not a troublemaker, what I want now is to make the store regular as soon as possible and don't think about anything else, you remember!
Your aunt won't make trouble for you, and you won't cause trouble for me, do you hear? Sun Wei didn't think about it, and just when he was just about to speak, he was reminded by Aunt Xinlan, and he was worried about himself, so he said a little too seriously: Auntie, when did you see me cause trouble for so long?
I'm not a troublemaker! Xinlan saw that he said so surely, remembering the incident at the station, she still wanted to remind him.
So he said: Xiaowei, have you forgotten the time you helped your uncle and me buy tickets, that time scared me, let's not do that in the future, do you hear?
Sun Wei listened, as if he didn't remember, he had to think for a while before saying: That's it! I forgot. But don't be afraid of Auntie, I scared that person, who knew that he was not scared!
Xinlan listened to what Sun Wei said so lightly, and wanted to remind him again, but she was afraid that Sun Wei would not be able to hang it on her face, so she thought about it and waited for it to be said later, so she didn't mention it again, and then remembered something else: Xiaowei, do you know where Lao Sun's family buys goods?
I forgot to ask her last time. Sun Wei heard that he hurriedly replied: I know, it is in the fruit market outside the south gate next to the station yard, I have brought her goods a few times, and there are wholesale melon seeds and snacks everywhere, so let's do it, aunt, I will take you over on a motorcycle on a cloudy morning!
Xinlan was afraid of causing trouble to Sun Wei, so when she heard him say this, she deliberately avoided it and said: Don't worry, Xiaowei, let's talk about it later.
Xiaowei heard that Aunt Xinlan was embarrassed, so she persuaded: Auntie, don't be afraid to trouble me, my car is also contracted, and the extra oil is our own, no one cares, rest assured!
When Xinlan heard this, she knew in her heart that this was the case, but she didn't plan to make anything happen to him. The two said this, seeing that the time was not early, Xinlan felt that Sun Wei still had work at night, and she was afraid that she would delay him from going to work, so she packed a bag of melon seeds, and asked him to bring it back to the old lady while urging Xiaowei to go back.
But Sun Wei not only didn't bring it, but also took Xinlan back to eat. Xinlan had already planned not to go, and said that she had already eaten it, and then gave it to Sun Wei, and Sun Wei wanted to excuse herself, so the two pushed back and forth, Xinlan said that she would not let him go, and Sun Wei had no choice but to catch it.
Before leaving, he helped Xinlan remove the gusset while introducing the surrounding living places.
