024 Mutiny
This unexpected incident has no direct relationship with Ankang and Lin Mushuang, but it has had a huge impact on both of them.
The following weekend, Lin Mushuang originally wanted to go to the store to help out in the morning, and at noon he and Ankang took Xiao Li's van to Lujiazui to sketch. But she came out less than five minutes after she entered the store.
Seeing Lin Mushuang enter the door, An Kang asked strangely, "Huh?" How did you come back so quickly? ”
Lin Mushuang said: "They drove me back. ”
"Why?"
"The masters are busy today, and they think I'm in the way."
Xiao Li, who drives a van, is also one of the masters, and if the store is busy, he naturally doesn't have time to drive out.
An Kang took the book to the living room and watched TV with Lin Mushuang.
It was almost time for dinner, my aunt came back and put a plastic bag containing two lunch boxes on the table for them to eat, and then left. It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that my uncle and aunt came home.
Lin Mushuang greeted him and asked, "Dad, the store shouldn't be busy next weekend, right?" When the time came, my brother and I took Uncle Li's van to Lujiazui to sketch. ”
When Ankang's uncle heard this, he seemed to have a nameless karmic fire and said, "What Uncle Li, Uncle Li? In the future, we won't have Uncle Li here! ”
"Huh? Uncle Lee, what's wrong with him? ”
"What's wrong? He's a traitor! ”
When my aunt heard this, she hurriedly came over and complained to my uncle, saying, "What are you doing talking about this in front of your children? ”
Ankang could obviously see that his uncle's mood was not very good, he and Lin Mushuang glanced at each other, and went back to their respective rooms.
When Ankang got up at one o'clock at night to go to the bathroom, he heard two adults in the big bedroom talking.
Ankang has already experienced this scenario once. It was a month before he came to Shanghai. Parents were always in their rooms chatting until the middle of the night. Ankang is a child, he has no say in the affairs of adults, and he knows that even if he asks adults, he will prevaricate with other things. What you need to know, adults will naturally take the opportunity to tell you.
In this case, something big is bound to happen. Because of this situation, when Ankang burned the cloth that his uncle urgently needed, it never appeared. That means that the situation my uncle is facing now is more serious or urgent than the one when he burned the fabric.
The next day, the sun was shining, and there was an urge to feel the urge to live a comfortable life. However, no one in my uncle's house expressed the comfort of life, because the bright atmosphere did not shine into the home.
My uncle had already gone out. My aunt made breakfast for the brother and sister and went out. Only Ankang and Lin Mushuang were left, and they ate breakfast in silence and went to school separately.
When he went home for dinner after class at noon, Ankang saw that there was still a plastic bag containing two lunch boxes on the table. The lunch box contained the same as last night's, soup dumplings and dry noodles. Lin Mushuang was sitting at the table looking at the plastic bag in a daze.
Seeing Ankang enter the door, Lin Mushuang told Ankang: "That Uncle Li has rebelled." ”
Ankang was shocked: "Defected? What about others? Did you go to the United States or Taiwan? ”
Lin Mushuang laughed: "It's not that mutiny, it's a mutiny from our family." ”
The two of them opened the lunch box in the plastic bag and talked about what was happening in the store while eating lunch. Ankang knew the reason why his uncle was in a bad mood yesterday.
It turned out that my uncle had been following a big order some time ago. It was an employee uniform made by the Agricultural Bank of China. There are 50 pieces of trial orders. If done well, there may be hundreds or even thousands of orders in the future. If this order is done well, it can net tens of thousands of dollars. In the case of a ready-to-wear store, this is of course a big business.
However, the last time my uncle went to the bank to follow up, the bank told my uncle that the order for this trial order had been sent to their store a month ago.
When the uncle came back to ask Xiao Li, Xiao Li admitted that he did get the order, but the order was taken to another company to do. The uncle asked Xiao Li why he wanted to give the order they were with to another family. Xiao Li said that it was a relative of his who helped him get the order. The order had to be handed over to a garment store designated by a relative, and he could only get a commission for his own garment store.
The uncle was furious. Although it is said that Uncle and Xiao Li can get a commission for nothing, the nature of this matter is very bad. Xiao Li's uncle was completely unaware of what he was doing, and it was one of them that he handed over the order they had been following for a long time to a competing peer.
This incident is equivalent to a slap in the face of my uncle.
The uncle thought that Xiao Li had always been in charge of the purchase of goods in the store, so although there was no evidence, the uncle still suspected that Xiao Li was eating both ways. So yesterday in the store the two had a fight. Xiao Li resigned in anger.
Early this morning, two more masters told their uncle to resign. This is obviously that Xiao Li is getting in the way.
"How many masters are there in my uncle's shop?" An Kang asked.
"There are four real masters. There are also a few masters who come to help when they are too busy with work. There are still a few small workers left. ”
"So three of the four masters left?"
Lin Mushuang nodded: "It's just that the master who taught me to paint didn't leave." ”
"The master who taught you how to draw...... Is that the art teacher you're talking about? ”
"Yes. The clothes in our store are all designed by my teacher. He often goes to the department stores to look at the styles of the trendy clothes, and then looks at them and makes them into designs, and then cuts them into clothes. Several other masters also made clothes based on the way he cut them. ”
"It's good that the master in charge of the design hasn't left." An Kang said.
"Why?"
"There should be a lot of tailors, even my mother. But there are certainly not many masters who can design. ”
Lin Mushuang thought for a while and said, "Yes." However, there are not many skilled tailors. ”
Xiao Li, who drove the van, left, and no one took Lin Mushuang to Lujiazui for sketching on the weekend. So Lin Mushuang decided to ask An Kang to accompany her to visit the video store. She had recently saved twenty dollars, enough to buy two tapes.
Ankang is more interested in buying tapes than sketching. The video store in Zhoupu's "Little Shanghai" is bigger than the one on the first floor of the Xinhua bookstore in Ankang County. The point is that there are also two Sanyo VCRs in the store where you can audition the tapes. In addition to this service, the video store also offers ripping services.
The so-called ripping service is actually to copy a few songs or entire tapes from a cassette tape being sold to another cassette tape with a dual-card tape recorder, and then sell them at a relatively cheap price. Because the business of ripping was good, the owner of the video store himself ripped a large number of tapes, copied the covers of the tapes, and put them in the store to sell them in a grand manner.
Buyers, of course, are also familiar with the road, and go specifically to buy black-and-white cover tapes. The quality of these blank tapes is already good, and the ripped tapes are completely indistinguishable from the original. The only difference is that the color cover has been changed to black and white. But this difference can save five or six dollars. Why not?
It was here that Ankang bought several tapes of English learning that he bought after coming to Shanghai was ripped from here. Those tapes were turned over and over by Ankang, and the timbre changed to the tune, and the magnetic tapes were wrinkled because Ankang often took a pencil into the hole. One side will be taped before it is finished. If the problem of the cassette cannot be solved with a pencil, Ankang has to use a screwdriver to disassemble the tape and re-roll the magnetic tape.
Although it is very troublesome, Ankang is happy about it. Another important reason why Ankang is tired of this is that Lin Mushuang admires his skills in repairing tapes, and he also recommends Ankang to his father to help him repair a few tapes that broke a few years ago.
Those tapes of classical music became the treasure of well-being. Especially Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
Now that Lin Mushuang talked about Xiao Li's rebellion, Ankang remembered that those tapes were borrowed by Xiao Li a few weeks ago, and it seemed that he was not going to come back.
Ankang never expected that these tapes would cause an incident.
