Chapter 138: It's Not a Thing
It's okay, it's all set before, just a few days in advance, when your brother comes out, just tell the Tang family."
Qin Huairu didn't care much in his heart, the Tang family didn't know about the stick terrier now, so it was impossible to disagree.
"Uh, okay."
Xiaodang opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to continue.
「……」
Forget it, if my brother can't use the things that my mother bought, she can use them, and it can't be wasted as her dowry.
He Daqing sat opposite, listening to Qin Huairu talking with the two daughters, and he was still a little strange in his heart.
A few people have been carrying a stick terrier, but where is this person? He hadn't seen a real person since yesterday.
After another look, the old man didn't bother to think about it.
"Silly Zhu, I haven't been back to the capital for more than ten years, so you can go shopping with me today."
"You can do it yourself, I don't have time."
Silly Zhu didn't even think about it, and directly refused.
The old man shut him out just now, and he still remembers.
"I'm over seventy, and if I fall on the road like yesterday, I won't even have someone to help me, silly pillar, I'm old, and I'll have a few days."
As soon as he heard this, Silly Zhu immediately hesitated.
Looking at the old man's pitiful appearance, he sighed and said, "In the afternoon, I still have to accompany Huairu to the department store to buy things in the morning."
"Department stores? I'll go too."
"What are you going to do? There are so many people in the store, just in case you are crowded again."
He Daqing pulled the torn undershirt on his body, let the stupid pillar take a look, and he said helplessly:
"I don't have any clothes to wear, you can buy me two clothes, and sandals, and I still lack a tea jar in the house, so I have to buy one......
Silly Zhu had a headache when he heard it.
The old man asked for clothes and sandals, and when he heard this, he had to buy something else.
Sensei said something else, clothes and shoes are not cheap, but he doesn't even have a steel jump in his hand, what to buy?
There was no way, the old man's shirt was really torn, and the stupid pillar had to turn his head to look at his daughter-in-law.
"Huairu, look ......."
Qin Huairu lowered her head and pulled the white porridge in the bowl, as if she hadn't heard it.
There was no expression on her face, but she was almost angry in her heart.
The old man came back to rob the house of the stick terrier, okay, now he even has to rob the money.
Clothes, shoes, tea jars, none of them are cheap, and it will cost her at least half a month's salary to buy them all, and the old man is really unkind.
On the other side, He Daqing put down his chopsticks.
He can see that the money in this family is all collected by widows, and he doesn't know what to say about his son.
I'm afraid that in the entire capital, there will be no "good men" like a few stupid pillars.
"Daughter-in-law, look at my torn shirt, I'm so old, you can't let me be naked in the courtyard, right?"
"Phew, old rascal."
As soon as Jia Zhang heard this, she couldn't eat it, and she glared at the old man fiercely.
He Daqing ignored Jia Zhang, he didn't have any expression on his face, so he stared at Qin Huairu in a daze.
"Huh? Oh, Dad, how can I buy it, me and Silly Zhu, I'm going to buy you a new one."
"That's good, save me from embarrassing you."
Under the table, Qin Huairu secretly clenched his hands.
The old man said all this, she didn't agree, and in the courtyard, she could be regarded as meeting an opponent.
After eating, the three members of the Jia family, plus Silly Zhu and He Daqing, went to Wangfujing Department Store.
……
In the west room in the backyard, He Xiao was still lying on the bed.
Yesterday he didn't feel it, but when he woke up this morning, he felt terrible soreness.
Especially in the lower back, there are bursts of pain.
"Shhhh
After this motorcycle, let's ride it in the capital."
Frowning, he got out of bed.
Holding the enamel basin, he was just about to go to wash when he heard a knock on the door.
Walking over and opening the door, he saw Qin Jingru standing outside the door.
"What's wrong with you?"
He Xiao glanced at her, Qin Jingru was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and the two of them had big dark circles under their eyes, so I am afraid they didn't sleep well last night.
"It's nothing else, seeing that you haven't gotten up, I'll bring you something to eat by the way."
Qin Jingru raised the things in his hand, then walked into the room and put them on the table.
Turning around, she looked at He Xiao and said rather embarrassedly:
"He Xiao, I still have to borrow the ear room in your middle courtyard for a while, do you think I will give you how much money for the room?"
"Rent? You still have money on you?"
He Xiao walked to the table and took a look, two fried dough sticks and two big buns were still hot.
It's not worth much, but he's comfortable, at least people have a mind.
"You don't even have a job now, so forget about the rent, you can live there first, and talk about it later."
"Thank you."
Qin Jingru's face was a little complicated, she bowed, and then turned to leave.
She has to continue to look for Xu Damao today, she doesn't believe that she can't find this old rooster in the capital.
"This guy is quite interesting."
Shaking his head, He Xiao picked up the basin and went to the courtyard to wash.
After breakfast, it was almost noon, he thought about it, and prepared to go to the shop at the corner of the street.
When passing by the courtyard, he took a special look, but the courtyard was quite quiet today, and he didn't see the Jia family.
"It's weird."
……
Riding a small Suzuki, as soon as He Xiao arrived at the entrance of the street, he heard a burst of singing "Waves, Waves".
Glancing around, he turned his head to look at his shop, from which the singing was coming from.
A little surprised in his heart, he twisted the handlebar, and the little Suzuki immediately ran over.
After parking the car, He Xiao entered the door and took a look, only to see the three masters sitting behind the table dozing.
On the table in front of him, there was an unfamiliar tape recorder, from which the singing voice came from.
"Three masters, where did this come from?"
He Xiao pointed to the tape recorder, a little surprised.
He has always wanted to buy a cassette recorder and put it in the store to play songs to attract customers, but there are too many things in the Jia family, and he has never been available, but he didn't expect someone to bring it for him today.
Yan Bugui rubbed his face and said with a smile: "Taozibei, don't say it, with this thing, the business in the store is much better."
"Yes, a business-minded person."
He Xiao was quite satisfied, and when he came back, he would give Taozi a bonus, and by the way, he would give him the money for the recorder.
Picking up the account book on the table, He Xiao glanced at it, and then he was stunned.
"Wow, that's all."
He was shocked to see the turnover of these two days, and yesterday alone, the store earned one hundred and five dollars and five cents.
One hundred and five dollars and five, which is two or three months' wages for ordinary workers, is really a lot.
Pulling open the curtain at the door, He Xiao poked his head into and looked at the people sitting on the benches watching the videotapes in the hall, he counted at least thirty.
It's a good business.
"Huh? Three masters, why are there children in it?"
"It's not summer vacation, there are more children in the past two days."
"Hmm......"
He Xiao took a closer look, and on the bench on the left, all the people sitting were children, and they were only in their teens, and even as young as seven or eight years old.
Shaking his head, he lowered the curtain and walked out.
After thinking about it, he said to Yan Bugui, "Third master, don't let children who are too young come in."
Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, and then felt distressed about the ticket money.
"That's a lot less money that day."
"Forget it, children's money, it's too troublesome to earn, by the way, if an adult comes to look for it, you can return the ticket money to him, but don't make a fuss."
"That...... That'll do."
He Xiao smiled helplessly, he was also afraid of the bear child.
If something happens, he can't afford to be responsible.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, and He Xiao was not in a hurry to leave, he sat down, holding a pen and paper in his hand, and looked at the room and thought.
His outhouse, when the area of the screening hall is not successful, but it is a pity that it has been empty.
"Three masters, what do you think of opening a trust store in the outhouse? Specializing in old stuff."
When Yan Bugui heard this, after thinking about it, he shook his head.
"No, the outhouse is too small, and if you talk too much, you can't fit a few big pieces of furniture, and besides, this trust store doesn't match our video hall."
"Yes."
He Xiao nodded, feeling that the third master was quite right.
If you open another shop, it will have to be paired with a video hall, and it is best to let the person watching the video take care of his new business by the way.
"Looks like we're going to have to sell food."
Snacks are forgotten, and there is a supply and marketing store next door.
In an instant, He Xiao thought of fast food, do you want to sell fried chicken?
It's simple, buy a gas stove, put up an oil pan to fry it, and it tastes good, he doesn't believe that the people watching the video can bear it.
When the time comes, if you give a foreign name, business will definitely be good.
Think about it, He Xiaole, isn't this KFC and McDonald's.
These two foreign stores, there are no ones in the capital now, and they will not enter the country until at least seven or eight years later.
Looking up at the store, he felt a little sorry that his small house was really not worthy of his good ideas.
But he touched his pocket, he is really not rich now, the family is only 10,000 yuan smaller, or Lou Xiao'e gave it, he wants to be tall, but now he can't get it.
"Forget it, let's start small."
Yan Bugui looked at He Xiao for a while, listening to him keep muttering, and he was still a little curious.
"He Xiao, what did you think of doing?"
"Hey, I have to think about it again, this business can't be sloppy, and I have to find another person."
He Xiao shook his head, put down the pen and paper, and stood up.
After collecting the ticket money for these two days, he rode a little Suzuki to the vegetable market.
After walking around, he stopped in front of the chicken stall.
Take a closer look at the chickens in the cage, they are all quite energetic, and they are all authentic local chickens.
Hey, it's hard to find foreign chickens now.
"Comrade, are you going to help kill you? Can you pluck the hair?"
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Kill? I'm here to sell chickens, but I'm not a chicken killer, so I have to buy them, and don't make trouble if I don't buy them."
「……」
Yes, the state-run salesman couldn't afford to mess with him, He Xiao touched his nose and asked helplessly, "How much is a pound of live chicken?"
"One piece two."
"It's expensive."
He Xiao frowned when he heard this, but he didn't need a meat ticket to buy chicken, and it was still not as expensive as pork.
Glancing at the chicken coop, he pointed to a big rooster and said, "Bring me this."
The saleswoman weighed it, and it weighed exactly six pounds.
He Xiao paid seven yuan and two cents, and left with the big rooster.
After a round of shopping, he bought some seasonal vegetables and rode back.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, He Xiao pushed Xiao Suzuki and was about to walk to the inner courtyard when he saw a woman coming over.
She was dressed in a white dress and had long flowing hair......
He Xiao only felt in a trance, and he didn't recognize who the woman was for a while.
"He Xiao."
"Huh?"
"You're back."
Huaihua smiled, more
passed him and walked out quickly.
"Sophora flowers, who do I think I am?"
"Huh? Why is the attitude so good today? Took the wrong medicine?"
He Xiao pursed his lips, pushed the motorcycle, and continued to walk inside.
In the courtyard, He Daqing was wearing a new white undershirt and was complaining to the stupid pillar.
"Silly Zhu, your widow is really willing to buy things for her daughter, a dress, eight undershirts on top of me, and when it was my turn to buy sandals, she refused to buy them for me."
"You just have some virtue, didn't Huairu say it, I didn't bring enough money, I'll buy it for you next time."
The stupid pillar was so bored that he shouldn't have agreed to take the old man to the department store.
Just now, his daughter-in-law and the old man almost quarreled in the store.
Panicking at the thought of it, he picked up the things he had bought on the table and strode back to the backyard.
He Daqing looked at the back of the stupid pillar, and he was helpless.
"Alas, a dress is worth a month's salary, don't I feel sorry for your money."
"What's in your heart? People are willing to spend money on their daughters and wives, and they become poor, and people are willing."
He Daqing turned his head and saw that it was He Xiao coming, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Sun ......"
"You say this, I have nothing to do with you, I will change my surname to Lou when I return to Xiangjiang."
As soon as the old man spoke, He Xiao knew what to say, and he quickly interrupted the old man's words.
Pushing little Suzuki, he strode back to the backyard.
"Evil, stupid pillar is really evil."
He Daqing sighed and said, he really couldn't understand, Silly Zhu has his own son, why should he raise a child for others?
But thinking about the past, I also left the stupid pillar and the rain and raised the widow's two children......
"Smack."
"It's not a thing!"
