Ankang didn't sleep well all night.

My uncle's house was small. It is said to be a three-bedroom house, but the living room is not much bigger than the kitchen of Ankang's house. The largest of the three bedrooms was occupied by my aunt and uncle, and the other two bedrooms were very small, at first glance they looked like two rooms with a wall added to the middle of one bedroom. There is a bed and a table in each of the two small bedrooms, and no other furniture can be placed. Naturally, the wardrobe could not be placed, so I had to hang the clothes I often wore on the hooks on the wall.

The next morning, he woke up and did not see his uncle. After the aunt prepared the breakfast, she said to Ankang that the uncle had gone out early to run errands.

On this day, Ankang was always absent-minded in school. On the one hand, he felt that he had caused a disaster and killed his uncle. Early in the morning, my uncle went out to run errands, and he must have begged his father to tell his grandmother to contact the source of goods as Lin Mushuang said. The order time is very tight, and if you can't source the right fabric, the impact will be huge.

On the other hand, Ankang felt that although his uncle opened a ready-to-wear store in Shanghai, his life was not bad compared to ordinary people, but after all, it was only a small business, and a casual order could affect a month's or even a year's income. My uncle and aunt are still working hard every day, and you can imagine how difficult it was at the beginning of their business.

That night, my uncle did not return home. My aunt told Ankang that my uncle was on a business trip. Since Ankang came to Shanghai, his uncle has never stayed home at night, let alone traveled on a business trip. Ankang felt extremely guilty for his actions.

"Kang, you didn't mean to. Don't worry too much about it. My aunt sat on Ankang's bed, and Ankang, who was sitting opposite the wall, said.

"Auntie, although I didn't mean it, I saw that my uncle was working hard for this matter. It's hard to feel sick. ”

"It's not like this hasn't happened before." My aunt touched Ankang's head and said, "I almost burned down the shop in a fire." ”

I've heard my cousin talk about this past. After that fire, my uncle asked the tailor to add one more condition: no smoking. My uncle quit smoking himself.

Ankang was still weeping against the wall. He didn't cry for himself, but because he understood the hard work of his uncle and aunt.

In addition to comforting her in every possible way, her aunt and cousin still treated Ankang the same as before, but Ankang felt as if she couldn't go back to before.

Two days later, Ankang had just walked out of the school gate after school when he heard someone calling him behind him. He looked back and saw that it was his uncle who was walking towards him.

Ankang and his uncle have not spoken since they were punished on the balcony that day, and they have not seen each other since their uncle went on a business trip. Today, my uncle came to school to wait for him to get out of school, which surprised Ankang.

"Do you have a lot of homework today?" Uncle asked, with a smile on his face.

This made An Kang's heart feel relieved, and he was even a little surprised that his uncle had such a gentle attitude towards him today.

Ankang bowed his head and replied, "Not much." ”

"That's good. Let's go to the restaurant for a meal. ”

Restaurants? Ankang has no concept of a restaurant. When I arrived at the place, I realized that the restaurant was really different from the restaurant, and it was indeed a building.

The uncle took Ankang into a private room on the second floor. Although Ankang followed his uncle all the way, he didn't ask why he didn't eat at home today but came to the restaurant. He thought that there would be a lot of people in this private room, but he didn't expect that there were only two people sitting in it, his aunt and cousin, and there were only four chairs. Ankang remembers that no one seems to have a birthday this month.

After the food was served, my uncle poured Jianlibao into Ankang and his own cups, and poured milk into my aunt's and cousin's cups, then raised the cup and said, "Kang has made a great contribution to our store this time." Come, let's raise a glass to thank him! ”

Ankang was stunned when he heard his uncle's words: "Thank you?" Did I make a great contribution? ”

"yes." Cousin Lin Mushuang smiled, "Dad just wants to surprise you." Are you surprised? ”

An Kang looked at Lin Mushuang, still in a daze.

Uncle smiled and said, "Come, Kang, you dry the drink in the cup first." Then let the frost tell you. ”

Lin Mushuang took a sip of the milk herself, and said to him without waiting for An Kang to finish the drink in the cup: "Brother, you have really made a great contribution." Didn't the cannon in your schoolbag burn the fabric that your dad pulled back the day before yesterday? Burn well, burn well, burn croak! Lin Mushuang stretched out two thumbs.

"Huh?!" An Kang was stunned.

"There's something wrong with the fabric. Thankfully, you lit a fire, otherwise it would have been a big hassle to make clothes out of those fabrics. ”

Ankang didn't know much about fabrics, and he wasn't familiar with the business of ready-to-wear stores. Lin Mushuang's words seemed to explain things clearly, but in fact, An Kang didn't understand it at all.

The uncle explained to Ankang while putting vegetables in his bowl.

It turned out that after the fabric in the van was set on fire that day, the uncle and the driver Xiao Li poured water on the cloth and stepped on it a few times to extinguish the fire. The rolls of cloth were removed from the car and dried in the store. However, a day later, the shop found that the cloth had faded where it had been soaked in water.

If there is a problem with the purchased goods, you can go back to the merchant for compensation, but if you make clothes with this batch of fabrics with questionable quality without knowing it, you will not only face a huge amount of compensation, but also the well-known brand of "Xinxiangge Garment Store" that your uncle and aunt have worked hard for more than ten years will be smashed.

Lost money can be regained, but the loss of a store's brand and reputation can mean irreparable losses.

Therefore, a disaster that Ankang inadvertently broke into turned out to be a move to help the building to fall in. That's why my uncle's family will specially invite Ankang to eat at the restaurant.

The uncle talked eloquently while eating, but An Kang was completely stunned. The young and healthy world is completely unable to accommodate the heat and coldness of the adult world, as well as the gains and losses of achievements. How could he imagine that such a thing as "misfortune and fortune depend, blessing and misfortune lurk" are commonplace in the business world. Therefore, businessmen will often be in trembling and walking on thin ice, lest they will be hated for eternity if they make a mistake.

"Brother, you are the hero of our family!" Lin Mushuang picked up the cup and said.

Ankang's face was flushed, and he drank Jianlibao with his head stuffy.

"Kang, it was my uncle who was wrong a few days ago. I apologize to you! Uncle said, picking up the cup.

An Kang hurriedly said: "Uncle, it should be me who apologizes." Almost got you in trouble. ”

"Well, don't apologize. Let's have a good time. My aunt said, "Kang, what's the matter with your broken cannon?" ”

Ankang didn't want to mention these things at school. When his aunt asked today, he had to pick out a few irrelevant things about getting along with his classmates recently.

My aunt listened and looked at my uncle, but she didn't speak.

A meal in the restaurant swept away Ankang's depressed mood.

However, many things are not as simple as Ankang imagined.
