Chapter 44: Elbows outward
At half past nine the next morning, Li Shun was replacing the polyethylene packaging film for the ice pack machine, when he suddenly heard Han Ying's exclamation:
"Dad, Uncle Mu, why are you here?"
Dad and father-in-law came, Li Shun put down his things and walked out of the workshop, sure enough, it was Li Mu and Han Zheng.
Han Zheng jumped out of the carriage and nodded to Li Shun with a smile, and Li Mu threw the reins of the mule on the locust tree.
"Why are you here together, is there something wrong?" Li Shun asked.
"Come and see, business is okay?" Han Zheng said.
"It's okay, let's go inside and talk, the ice cream machine is noisy." Li Shun invited the second elder into the bedroom of the east house.
Close the door and turn on the light, Han Ying moved the bench for them, and only Li Shun and Han Ying accompanied them in the bedroom.
"Child, why don't you tell your family about such a big thing as changing the wedding date?" Li Mu shook his head and sighed.
Li Shun scratched his head, it turned out that Xingshi was asking for guilt.
Yesterday, Li Mu and Han Zheng drank and inadvertently talked about Li Shun's agreement to change the wedding date.
The agreement is as follows, if Li Shun can prepare five major items, such as motorcycles, televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, and sewing machines, within four months, Han Zheng will agree to advance the marriage date.
Li Mu was stunned on the spot when he heard this, this is a major event in life, and he didn't know that he was a father?
Hanwha was also confused, it turned out that this was Li Shun's own initiative, and he didn't discuss it with his parents at all?
So the two brothers came over to ask about the guilt, and they both felt that Li Shun was bold and bold, and the marriage was hidden.
Li Shun was about to speak, Han Zheng smiled and said:
"I discussed it with your aunt again, and I think the refrigerator is useless in the countryside, so you can not buy it first."
The refrigerator is really not very useful, and eating meat in the countryside is for the New Year.
Eat vegetables and pick them in the field, and there will be basically no leftovers.
In other words, Han Ying's dowry has changed from five major pieces to four major pieces, and there is no need to prepare a refrigerator.
Buy a refrigerator for at least about 2,000, and the old Han family took the initiative to reduce the difficulty of the game for Li Shun.
Li Mu took out a wad of money from his pocket and said:
"You take this thousand yuan first, since you want to get married early, your mother and I support it."
"Dad, I know what's going on at home, where did the money come from?" Li Shun asked with a frown.
"I borrowed it from your Uncle Dahai." Li Mu said.
Li Dahai is a butcher in the village, usually works as a farmer at home, and goes to the butcher shop to kill pigs in his spare time, and his family conditions are also good.
Li Shun was a little moved and said:
"Dad, there's no need to borrow money, Yingying and I are saving money."
Li Mu waved his hand, how much money can you make from a dime business, I have to find a way to make money for you.
"Is the cold drink business profitable? How much can I earn in a month now? Han Zheng asked Li Shun.
Han Ying smiled mysteriously and whispered:
"From the opening to the present month and a half, I have earned a total of 7,000. It took two thousand to buy the goods, and now there are five thousand left. ”
"Seven thousand?"
"Seven thousand?"
The old brothers were dumbfounded, how could this be?
Whether it is ice packs or popsicles, they are small businesses that sell a dime, how can they earn 7,000 a month and a half?
Han Ying immediately lifted the sheets, pointed to the sack under the bed and said:
"Believe it or not, this sack is all money...... It's all a dime and a dime coin. ”
Han Ying took out her wallet from her pocket again, took out the two thousand yuan that the hammer cobbler compensated yesterday, and put it in front of the two brothers.
The money is in front of them, and the old brothers must believe it. Looking at each other, the other party was shocked.
"You can't tell anyone, not even your big brother." Han Zheng's face flushed, and he hurriedly put down the sheet to cover the bottom of the bed.
"Yes, you can't tell anyone. If someone asks you if you make money, you say it's a net loss! Li Mu was a little incoherent.
Since Li Shun contracted the cold drink factory, Li Mu has been worried every day, for fear that his son will lose money.
After all, the interlacing is like a mountain, and the son is a carpenter, and the carpenter has nothing to do with cold drinks.
During this time, he was even more worried, but he didn't expect his son to surprise him so much.
Now Li Mu is full of strength, and the more he looks, the more he feels that his son is like himself.
Han Zheng continued to take a deep breath, if the business continued to be so good, the girl would be able to eat and drink spicy food for the rest of her life.
Han Ying pursed her lips and chuckled, and said:
"The county seat has been occupied by us, and the whole wholesale street is buying our snow dew. Now because there is no big car, I can't go to the countryside to deliver goods, and I can't make money in the township. ”
Han Ying grabbed Han Zheng's arm and shook it, snorting coquettishly:
"Dad, I'm dying of sorrow, what do you say?"
"Use ...... Use the money you earn to buy a tricycle, and it's only four or five thousand dollars. Han Zheng's scalp was numb.
"The money we earn will buy a dowry, you buy me a tricycle, and you will prepare a dowry for me." Han Ying continued to be coquettish.
Han Zheng rolled his eyes, and the girl turned her elbow outward.
"Well...... I'll go back and talk to your mother, and she'll probably agree, provided that the four dowries are given to our family first. ”
"No problem, just wait." Han Ying kept glancing at Li Shun and begging for praise.
Li Shun smiled dumbly, this girl is so cute.
Then, go to Bianjing today to buy all the dowry.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, Han Ying went to open the door, and Li Daxia was holding seven or eight money sticks in both hands:
"Yufeng took away ten packs of ice packs and ten packs of popsicles, which is eighty yuan of payment."
"Da Xia, take me to see the ice pack machine." Li Mu stood up and moved his muscles and bones, and the corners of his mouth grinned at the root of his ears.
Han Ying handed Han Zheng eight one-corner money sticks and took two more from the sack.
"In exchange for a hundred dollars, these broken coins are about to make me sad to death."
Han Zheng took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, and he was also worried about this sack of broken money, and no one wanted a dime of coins.
Han Ying put the whole money in her pocket and pulled Han Zheng to visit the cold drink factory.
In the yard, Zhang Hui's buddy Xiao Tian pulled ice packs, and Zhou Xiang loaded the car for him.
Sent away Xiao Tian, Li Shun checked Zhou Xiang's homework, and Zhou Xiang hurriedly took out more than a dozen planks from the carriage.
There are four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, there are dragons and phoenixes, there are peacocks looking at the moon, and there are plates and eyes carved with plates.
"I'm glad that I've made a lot of progress." Li Shun patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said:
"Come over the day after tomorrow, I'll teach you how to carve white marble."
"Thank you, Master." Zhou Xiang smiled, like a silly boy.
"Master, there's something I want you to agree to." Zhou Xiang's face suddenly flushed.
"Say, as long as it's not too much, I'll answer you." Li Shun was in a good mood.
"I want to marry ......"
"Ahem......" Li Daxia suddenly coughed loudly, and found that Li Shun looked at her and ran into the house with a red face.
"What did you just say?" Li Shun asked with a stiff face.
"Nothing." Zhou Xiang's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to look at his master's face when he lowered his head.
Li Mu and Han are visiting the machine, Li Mu said:
"Do a good job, kid, I'll go home with your uncle first. By the way, did you finish the noodles and oil you took from home last time? ”
"I haven't finished eating, I'll go out with Yingying to run errands today, let Zhou Xiang stay and help."
"Zhou Xiang is your apprentice, you look at the arrangement."
Li Shun sent the two brothers away, led Zhou Xiang to the bedroom, and carried a sack of coins under the bed to the three-wheeled motorcycle.
Let Zhou Xiang stay in the factory, let Hanwha drive the motorcycle, and take Han Ying to Bianjing to buy four major items.
