The event held at the theater is over! Looking back, although the activity is short-lived, the economic benefits can be considerable, which makes Xinlan, a woman who urgently needs money, feel much more happy and relaxed, but at the same time, when she goes to wholesale small food, what the owner of the food wholesale store said and the profits brought by the operation also give Xinlan a new idea, that is, to move the family first, rent a store to find a business to do, as for the matter of moving back, you can wait for the opportunity while doing business, and when you have money, everything will be easy to do. This idea has surfaced in Xinlan's mind from time to time in the past few days, lingering, and also bringing endless distress to Xinlan, especially before going to bed, once she has this thought, she will think about it and can't make up her mind, which makes people suffer a lot. Xinlan was disturbed by this kind of thought last night, and she didn't fall asleep until midnight, and this morning she naturally overslept and got up late.

After breakfast, Xinlan began to replenish the shelves, because of the momentum of business during this time, the wind that just rose did not affect Xinlan's mood. While happily loading the goods, she went about her business from time to time, occasionally looking up to observe the crowd of people coming and going in the square. In this way, seeing that it was nine o'clock, the flow of people watching movies slowly came up, and the business went public, Xinlan began to get busy. She was busy in an orderly manner, enjoying the joy of every business, and she didn't notice that her parents had come to her shop under the leadership of Xiao Liu.

"Aunt Xinlan, don't be busy! Look who I brought to you! Xiao Liu, the female owner of the hotel, came to the store and saw that Xinlan didn't notice her, so she went to remind her.

Xinlan was concentrating on picking up things for customers, she didn't turn her head to hear the voice of Xiao Liu of the hotel, so she hurriedly turned around to look, but she happened to see her parents, she never thought that her parents would be here, and they also carried a big burden.

Xinlan knew at a glance that her parents were sending a quilt to herself, and she was busy handing over the things in her hand to the customer, but she ran out before she could collect the money, took the burden from the old lady, and took the three of them to the house.

The female boss of the hotel knew that the place in the house was not spacious, and when she heard Xinlan let in, she hurriedly said: "Aunt Xinlan, I will bring the second elder to you, even if the task is completed, the space in the house is not generous, I don't think I will follow in to make a mess, and I still have something to do when I go back!" Xiao Liu said and handed the bag in his hand to Xinlan.

Xinlan originally wanted to let it, but she thought about it in her heart, where is there still a place in the house! So I had to give up, but I still expressed my gratitude in my heart: "Okay, then I won't leave you to rest, Xiao Liu!" I'll thank you another day! As he was talking, he saw the bag handed over by Xiao Liu, and his heart was gloomy that it was the food he had brought over, so he took it with one hand free, and then watched Xiao Liu turn around and leave.

Xinlan led her parents in, put the quilt on the box on the side, and put the bag in her hand on the corner of the counter, only then did she see the uncollected money from the sale of goods on the counter. She took the opportunity to put away the money, and pulled out the stool hidden under the cabinet for her parents to sit on, and after putting her parents safely, she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw the second elder who was tired and panting. She knew that her father was not in good health, and it must have been her mother who came up with the idea to send the quilt, so she complained to her mother with concern: "Mom! You and my father are both so old and in poor health, why are you in such a hurry to send them here? If it's cold two days later, can I not go back and get it!? As she spoke, she was about to serve tea and pour water for her parents, but in a blink of an eye, another customer came to the door, and Xinlan was busy entertaining customers.

The old couple watched Xinlan busy intently, lest it affect the business, so they didn't say anything more.

After a while, the customers were sent away, Xinlan was busy pouring tea for her parents and putting it in front of her, and then held melon seeds and peanuts for her parents and put them in front of her, just about to persuade her parents to eat, the old lady on the side remembered what she had just said, and then continued: "Last time, you were asked to take you without it, you have to bring it, and your father and I still need to run this trip again!?" The old lady blamed her, but she had a loving expression on her face.

The old man watched all this on the side, thinking about what the old couple was worried about Xinlan when he came, and it changed in a blink of an eye, although he was happy in his heart, he was still a little uncertain about all this, and he didn't know what the situation was, so he wanted to ask clearly quickly, and when Xinlan was busy, the old lady said this again, so he was a little anxious, so he stopped the old woman and said: "Don't talk, let the girl talk about this small shop first!" I remember that my daughter seemed to say last time that she opened a small shop, could it be this!? The old man looked anxious.

Xinlan saw her father's demeanor of stopping her mother, and knew that her father was anxious to know that his situation was concerned about himself, so he hurriedly took over and said, "Dad! Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly, in fact, what I told my mother and you two is this shop, that was when Fusheng and I came here, I helped an old lady on the city wall, and later I met her grandson Sun Wei when I was working at the station, and opened this shop with his help, and it was all the credit of this young man. Xinlan said it in a few words.

When the old man heard this, he was naturally full of joy, he was happy for Xinlan in his heart, he had such a good opportunity, and met such a good person, he couldn't help but boast: "It seems that there are still many good people!" If you have a chance, thank you to this young man! As he spoke, he remembered the situation he saw outside the hotel when the old couple came last time, and couldn't help but wonder again, so he asked Xinlan again: "Then what's going on with you and the hotel of the female boss just now?" ”

"And that hotel! In fact, it's nothing, that is, when I first started this store, there was no business in the morning, and the business of the cinema was regular, so I took advantage of the free time in the morning to help her, not only to earn something, but the key is that the food for this day is guaranteed, eat there every morning, this noon and evening, eat some meals from there. After speaking, Xinlan suddenly remembered the bag sent by Xiao Liu, she hurriedly went over to bring the bag, and then brought a bowl over, and while pouring the food into the bowl, she said: "Just say it, forget to pour it out first, or it will be broken." Xinlan thought that her father and Xiao Liu came over together and asked about Xiao Liu's meal just now, so she also told her father about it.

But what she didn't expect was that when the two old men listened to her, and saw that the food she poured out of the bag was colorful, all of which were leftovers, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and they knew in their hearts that although the girl said it lightly, it could make people know how the girl's daily life was spent at a glance.

The old lady never dreamed that her daughter would go to the leftovers of the restaurant, and she felt uncomfortable and felt spontaneous, and couldn't help but complain that she was a mother who didn't take good care of her daughter, she didn't want to go to see Xinlan to pick up the leftovers in the bowl, looking up at the roof, letting the tears gather in her eyes, holding back for fear of crying.

The old man also felt sorry for his daughter, in his opinion, he had been a teacher all his life, no matter how poor the family conditions were, he would not let his daughter eat other people's leftovers here, he hated himself for not being able to help his daughter, and when he pity himself, he sighed and said to Xinlan with concern: "Alas! Can I eat this!? ”

Xinlan only cared about the leftovers in the bag, not noticing her parents' emotions at all, and when she heard her father ask, she replied without any care: "You can eat it, if you feel dirty, wash it with water, wash it; Some of them can be directly heated through! As she spoke, she emptied the bag, without the slightest dislike, everything seemed so natural, but what she didn't expect was that when she turned around, she happened to see her sad mother.

Xinlan knew that her mother felt sorry for herself, but seeing that her mother was uncomfortable, Xinlan unconsciously felt sorry for her mother. But she didn't dare to show herself, for fear of arousing her parents' sadness again, so she controlled her emotions and deliberately went over to persuade her mother inappropriately: "Mom! Don't be sad about you and my dad, these things are leftovers from others, but they are not dirty, I pick and choose when I eat, I really can't ask for them, throw them away, and keep what I can eat, you two can rest assured, I'm really fine now! Not only do I have my own small shop, but I also have a lot of people who help me! Xinlan tried her best to say plainly.

The old man was beside him, looking at the uncomfortable appearance of the old woman, he felt sorry for both his wife and his daughter, thinking about the difficulties of the two, he couldn't help but say: "Girl, your mother can't see your suffering, and her heart is distressed." Think about it, there are outsiders around you, but no one in your family can help you! We are old, your brothers and sisters are far away, and you are not in the same industry as your original unit, and you don't even have any acquaintances on it, so you have to do everything yourself, it's really difficult for you."

Xinlan said: "It's okay, Dad!" I can do it! ”

The old man said again: "You know what? Child. Last time I heard your mother and I say that you opened a small shop, your mother and I are happy for you, we think that your life will be guaranteed in the future, as soon as the joy comes up, we want to come here to see, but I didn't expect us to come to see you, so when I walked to the restaurant where you worked, I happened to see you there to collect dishes, tired and moving your waist! That's it! Your mother and I have moved our minds, thinking that you said that just to relieve our hearts, not to let us worry about you, we were afraid that you would be embarrassed, and we didn't dare to look at you and turned back, and your mother was uncomfortable until today. But I didn't expect it to be true! When your mother came here, she cried again when she saw that the store was not happy for a while, and I had to say, child! I've been here for so long this time, and Fusheng and Lu Dong are not around, so you have to eat and work leisurely, don't ruin your body for this, don't you say it? After that, when it's cold, you must take care of your body, and don't eat leftovers in the future? If you really can't do it, go home and eat! ”

Hearing her father say this, Xinlan knew that this was impossible, but she didn't want to worry her parents about it, so she comforted her parents and said, "Dad! You and my mother can rest assured, I will take care of myself, after all, we now have our own store, if it really doesn't work, I'll go home to eat or buy something to eat, I can't lose myself! Xinlan tried her best to speak lightly, the purpose was to relax her parents' hearts.

When the old couple heard this, although they were relieved, they were still worried that it was perfunctory, so they told them again and again.

In this way, a family of three was talking and passing the time, and from time to time there was business coming to the door, which attracted the old man to feel it, so he asked Xinlan about the business situation since it opened.

Xinlan said: "The business here mainly depends on the customers of the cinema, and my store is better than other stores because it has a street window and can occasionally do some passing business." It's just that we have a small number of people, if we have manpower, and then there are more varieties, the income will be high, especially during this time, the theater is engaged in activities, the flow of people is large, the goods are more, and the income is more, just like this, there are three or two times a year, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking! Xinlan spoke, her face relaxed.

The old man listened, but he was full of doubts, and he said a little disbelievingly: "Really!?" Such a small shop! ”

Xinlan said: "Dad! I know you don't believe me. At first, I was reluctant to take over this stall, just like you think now. But to tell you the truth, I don't believe it if I don't do it. It's like the income of these ten days, one day can top your month's salary, don't you believe it? I'll calculate for my mother and the two of you, there are thirty-eight rows in this theater, an average of forty seats in a row, almost 1,000 seats, four shows a day, six or seven thousand people, everyone will buy some snacks when watching a movie, and they will be divided equally according to the customers of several stores, at least there is a small thousand people, each person can earn four cents, is it the monthly salary of an ordinary teacher? Not to mention that there are more people, and if there are more varieties, you will earn more! ”

The old man was skeptical when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to believe it. He didn't expect such an inconspicuous small shop to have such a high income, and he suddenly couldn't suppress his joy and said: "That's really a lot, it's really like a mountain!" Thinking that your mother and I have been retired for so long, it is only forty or fifty dollars a month! It seems that after the reform and opening up, the national policy is getting better and better, and what is said on TV is to let some people get rich first is true! As he spoke, he looked at his wife on the side, and he also wanted to make the old woman happy, so he turned to the woman and said, "Hear that!?" Don't feel bad! The girl has an income, and the good life will slowly come out. ”

Xinlan on the side saw her father comforting her mother, so she hurriedly went to comfort her mother and said, "Mom! You can rest assured, the days will be better day by day, I remember the last time I went to buy the boss said, now the policy is good, as long as there are people, there are more opportunities to make money, I am thinking about this, no, I will take Lu Dong and them first, the household registration is walking, first rent a storefront, let them also find a business to do, and wait for the money to solve any problems! ”

Xinlan's words were meant to comfort her mother, but the father on the side heard the signs, and as soon as Xinlan's voice fell, the old man took over and said to Xinlan: "Girl, listen to your voice, I advise you not to think about it and discourage yourself in the matter of relocation!" This matter is not a trivial matter, it is related to the happiness of your family in the future, the household registration must be moved back and cannot be delayed, otherwise it will be difficult for the child to be employed and recruited in the future, and to transfer to school and start a family! ”

Hearing her father say this, Xinlan didn't explain, she originally thought like that, and she was not resolute to the point where she had to do it, and now her father said that she was busy agreeing to her father to give up her thoughts.

Time flies, the mother is talking and killing time, and before you know it, the movie is about to end, and the wind is blowing again unconsciously, and there is more and more momentum, the old couple is worried, so they are ready to go back early.

Xinlan was also afraid that it would be windy for a while, and it would be inconvenient for her parents to walk, so she went to pack a bag of melon seeds and peanuts, and accompanied her parents home. The three of them walked and talked, but as soon as they walked to the station together, the old couple was worried about the business of the store, so they said that they would not let Xinlan send it. Xinlan couldn't resist her parents, so she had to wait for the car to come and watch her parents get into the car before walking back.

On the way, Xinlan thought about her father's words to remind her, thought about what she should do next, and unconsciously suddenly thought of the Educated Youth Office. Oh, yes! I haven't been to the Educated Youth Office for a long time, and I don't know if the situation there will change, she can't help but worry, and suddenly feels a panic.
