Chapter 186: We Are Friends

Finished dinner.

Liu Xing didn't go to rest.

Instead, he brought the black calf, and after placing a pair of bamboo baskets on the back of the ox, he put the shoes that had been made into the bundles.

Liu Dazhao, who was still settling accounts, saw this scene and hurriedly stopped: "Xing Yanzi, do you want me to help transport some shoes by bicycle?"

"No, there are more than 2,000 pairs of shoes in the shoe store!" Liu Xing replied.

Tomorrow is the day when the department store opens, and Zhao Biao's daughter-in-law also has a counter that sells cloth shoes and running shoes.

Of course, the most important thing is that the traffic in department stores is not comparable to that of Dongju shoe stores.

Under the super flow of people, some bad goods are afraid that they will be sold.

He knew this very well, so he decided not to transport all the shoes in the house for the time being.

After all, the business of Dongju shoe store is when summer comes, not now.

When Liu Dazhao heard Liu Xing say this, he didn't mention this topic, he got up and came to Liu Xing's side: "I checked the accounts just now, and I received the contract payment of 7,120 yuan today, do you think I should save it, or go and purchase materials for water conservancy construction immediately?"

"Of course, we should immediately purchase materials for the construction of water conservancy, and the large and small canals in Saltpeter Village should also be dredged, and this time you can't get all the villagers to volunteer, but you have to pay on behalf of the village, and ask them to do things for five cents a day. Liu Xing reminded.

No matter in those days, it was unpopular to do things for free.

After all, most of the villagers have old and young to support.

And if you pay money, you can improve your enthusiasm for doing things, and you can also stabilize the status of the village chief in everyone's minds, why not do it!

In fact, this is called taking from the people and using it for the people.

As long as the money in saltpeter village is circulating, the economy can rise.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Liu Dazhao nodded when he heard this.

Now he has to listen to Liu Xing's words.

Because although he is the head of Saltpeter Village, he is blind to the future development of Saltpeter Village, and he doesn't know how to carry it out at all.

"Then remember to hurry up and do it, but don't procrastinate. Liu Xing looked at the sky: "I have to go back to the market tonight, because the department store will open tomorrow." ”

"It's so late, can you go again tomorrow?" Liu Dazhao was a little worried when he heard this.

It's all to blame on him, he didn't ask anyone to plant rice in the past two days, otherwise how could Liu Xing be busy until now, I'm afraid that he would have gone to the market long ago after dealing with the affairs of his family.

"It's too late tomorrow. Liu Xing knew his father's thoughts, and after smiling, he continued to put up his shoes.

Seeing this, Liu Dazhao also stepped forward to help.

After a while, the bamboo basket on the back of the black calf was filled.

Liu Xing saw that the melon seeds were still hiding in the house and didn't come out, so he shouted at the top of his throat: "I'm going to the market, are you going to go?"

There is no way, the parents are too busy at home.

And Liu Ye and Liu Ziran want to study again, and no one can take care of the melon seeds at all, so under the trade-off, they can only take it away, after all, when they go to the market, the melon seeds can still play with Lan Lan, Xiao Budian, Xiao Doudou, Zhao Jing and other children.

And at home, I'm afraid it's just a person.

There are no children who will come to play with this little guy like melon seeds.

When Liu Dazhao heard Liu Xing's shout, he said, "The melon seeds are put at home, right? At least I can help with pigweed." ”

"And then?" Liu Xing asked.

"What?" Liu Dazhao was a little puzzled.

"I'm talking about what do you let her do after beating pigweed? At a young age, there is no one to take care of her, in case she drowns or is taken away, are you willing?" asked Liu Xing.

"This ......" Liu Dazhao couldn't say.

Because he really rarely does his father's responsibility to take care of melon seeds these days.

If there are three long and two short, then he is afraid that it will be too late to regret it.

So...... Liu Xing is right, let's go to the market with us!

At least there are many children in the bazaar, and there is still more or less one to take care of.

And while talking, the melon seeds happily ran out on their little short legs, and the pockets of their jackets were bulging.

Although Liu Xing saw it, he didn't say much, but picked it up and sat on the back of the cow.

"Dad, let's go. Liu Xing said hello to Liu Dazhao, took the black calf by the moonlight, and walked towards the country road.

......

In fact, Liu Xing is not afraid of walking at night.

Because he was accompanied by a black calf.

Others don't know how strong the black calf is, but he knows it very well in his heart.

Seeing that the melon seeds didn't say a word on the way to the market, they were protecting the things in their pockets, and they shook their heads: "They all said that you can't eat toffee at night, don't you listen?"

"Brother, I didn't have it, I was going to bring it to Xiao Budian and Lan Lancha. Melon Seeds was embarrassed to explain.

"It's good if you don't eat it," Liu Xing saw that he didn't smell the smell of toffee, so he immediately put aside the topic: "Melon seeds, now our family is not short of money, so you have to study hard in the future, do you hear?" ”

"It's not...... Aren't you going to study until next year?"

The melon seed raised her little head and turned her head to look at Liu Xing, who was sitting behind.

Because of the bumpy mountain road, I didn't grasp it for a while, and I almost fell off.

Seeing this, Liu Xing hurriedly grabbed the melon seeds, and only then did he say: "It's right to study next year, then you can't study in advance! ”

"Is my brother happy?" asked Melon Seed.

The implication is that my brother is happy that he will take the eighth middle school in the city.

If her brother is unhappy, she doesn't care what her parents think!

Liu Xing heard the meaning of the melon seeds' words, and he was very helpless: "Of course my brother is happy, as long as you can read, the people of the whole saltpeter village will be happy." ”

"By the way, my brother will also go to study in No. 8 Middle School. After a pause, Liu Xing reminded again.

"Really?" melon seeds were happy when they heard this: "Then you wait for me in school, I will definitely be admitted to the eighth middle school, and then we will go home from school together, catch grasshoppers together, and dig birds' nests together." ”

"That's what your mind thinks about all day long!" Liu Xing sighed lightly and shook his head, seeing that the boundary in front of him was the old housing village, he quickly shut up and stopped talking, tightened the bull rope and let the black calf walk towards the side of the road.

After all, it was dark at night, and it would be very bad if you hit a villager riding a bicycle on the road.

The market at night in the old housing village, after Liu Xing's renovation of the infrastructure, has a faint trend of night market at this time.

Liu Xing rode the black calf before he reached the scope of the market, and he could see the brightly lit market from afar, as well as the noisy and lively traffic.

This scene made Melon Seed very excited: "Brother, brother, let the black calf go! At this time, Xiao Budian and Jingjing must be playing in the market." ”

"What's the hurry, don't forget that the black calf is still carrying the goods on his back. Liu Xing replied softly, then got off the back of the cow and led the black calf towards the market.

......

The entrance of the shoe store.

Xiao Budian and Doudou are frolicking under the grapefruit tree.

Zhao Jing and Lan Lan watched from the side, laughing happily from time to time.

Li Weiwei did not use a wheelchair today, but walked around under the eaves on crutches.

Although his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, the whole person was very excited.

Because she was finally out of her wheelchair and able to walk.

Although my legs still hurt a little for the time being, I can't do without crutches.

But she knows that as long as you exercise.

Walking like a normal person shouldn't be a problem.

At the door of the clinic, Doctor Jiang, who came out to pour the medicine residue, couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Weiwei practicing walking so diligently.

But soon the smile on his face disappeared, and as for the reason, it was that there were still dozens of people queuing up to see a doctor on this big night.

This made him a little helpless, after all, he was sick for a day, and he also needed to rest!

But he didn't say this, but turned around and walked into the clinic to continue his business.

And at this moment, Li Weiwei accidentally fell to the ground.

But instead of crying, she gritted her teeth and stood up, just about to sit down and rest for a while.

Naixin stepped forward to support her: "What your legs need now is to rest more, don't overdo it." ”

"Hmm," Li Weiwei nodded.

"I'll pour you a glass of warm water. Seeing that the shoe store had no business for the time being, Naixin turned around and walked into the shoe store.

Li Weiwei sat on a chair and waited when she heard this.

And at this moment, Xiao Budian, who was playing under the grapefruit tree, suddenly ran happily to the street of the market: "Mama, Mama! Uncle is here, Uncle is here, Uncle is here." ”

"You run slower. Liu Dongju saw that Xiao Budian almost fell down a few times, and hurriedly chased after him.

Lan Lan, Xiao Doudou, and Zhao Jing also followed.

When they saw Liu Xing slowly coming with a black calf and appearing in the brightly lit market, they all cheered.

"Brother, I'm going down. The melon seeds on the cow's back said to Liu Xing, who was holding the cow.

"Okay! Remember not to eat sugar at night. Liu Xing stretched out his hand and hugged the melon seeds to his feet.

"Got it. The melon seed replied, took Xiao Bu's little hand, and ran away with Xiao Doudou, Zhao Jing, and Lan Lan.

"This girl," Liu Xing looked at and shook his head.

"Leave them alone, that Lu Jun came to you again last time, and is now drinking tea in the shoe store and waiting for you!" Liu Dongju, who approached, said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Xing hurriedly led the black calf towards the entrance of the shoe store.

Liu Dongju walked with him and chatted about what happened in today's market.

Liu Xing listened quietly, and when he walked to the gate of the shoe store, he handed the cow rope to Liu Dongju, and then walked into the shoe store.

After Nai Xinru handed the warm water to Li Weiwei, she followed behind: "Liu Xing, I have something I want to tell you." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xing looked back at Nai Xinru.

"I ...... I plan to quit my job at a shoe store and go to the counter of a department store, after all, my mom is too old to manage the counter business. Nai Xinru hesitated at first, but finally told her what she was going to do.

The reason for hesitation is that I feel sorry for Liu Xing.

After all, Liu Xing has been so good to her and Xiaodoudou during this time, and she wants to leave when her life is stable, which is a bit unrighteous.

Liu Xing saw Nai Xinru's thoughts, he didn't feel unhappy at all, but a smile appeared on his face, after all, Nai Xinru was not a character he could control, so it was only a matter of time before he left.

Seeing that Naixin was a little embarrassed, he immediately said: "You still can't let go! Aren't you just resigning? I promise you that it is, after all, this shoe store can't give you more wages, and I will leave if I do." ”

"Wait a minute, you can go to my sister to settle your salary! If you don't have a place to live, you can continue to live in the shoe store. After a pause, Liu Xing added.

"Thank you, thank you!" Nai Xinru didn't expect Liu Xing to speak so well at all, and her heart was warm for a while, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry.

"Don't be like this, although you are gone, we are still friends, aren't we?" Liu Xing smiled and walked straight into the shoe store.

When Nai Xinru heard this, he didn't know why, and suddenly regretted leaving.

But the previous words have already been spoken, and it is impossible to find Liu Xing to take them back.

So under the entanglement, I had to pick up the little Doudou who was playing on the side and go back to the back room of the shoe store to pack my luggage.

Liu Xing knew that Naixin would leave without paying his salary, and saw Liu Dongju walking into the shoe store with a teapot, so he hurriedly went up and explained a few words before sitting in front of Lu Jun.

"Why did you come back? I'll leave if you don't come back. Lu Jun looked at Liu Xing and complained.

"Let's go, I don't want you to come. Liu Xing smiled and made a joke.

"You ......" Lu Jun was not angry, but laughed along: "This mouth is just underdrawn, if other people talk to me like this on the black market, I'm afraid that a fight will start a long time ago." ”

"Stop bragging, just talk about it! Liu Xing lifted the teapot that Liu Dongju put aside and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Of course I'm looking for you wholesale shoes! Take off your sandals with heels, I want as many as I want. Lu Junlian told his intentions in the future.

"Roll the calf, is this possible?" Liu Xinglian vetoed.

"Then you give me five hundred pairs of sandals, and five hundred pairs of shoes are always off, right?" Lu Jun took a step back: "Don't worry, the price is still according to the original price." ”

"No, have you made a fortune by buying and selling shoes in my shoe store recently?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

One export is 1,000 pairs of shoes, which is calculated according to the average price of four yuan a pair, which is 4,000 yuan!

"It's not like getting rich, but I've made a little bit of money. Lu Jun picked up the teacup: "I heard Zhou Silkworm say that you have recently bought a lot of leather materials! When the leather shoes are made, I have to order a batch! The price is easy to say." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xing nodded.

After all, there is no market for leather shoes in the bazaar, because most of the people who rush to the market are some farmers.

If you want them to buy dozens of dollars a pair of leather shoes, I am afraid that it will kill them.

Therefore, it is the best choice to promise Lu Jun to sell it on the black market or in the city.

"Then we'll settle it. Lu Jun drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp: "As for the rest of the nonsense, I won't tell you more, I have to get the goods back quickly." ”

"By the way, it's five thousand dollars, you order. Lu Jun stood up and fumbled at the bottom of the shoe cabinet beside him, and then took out a black handbag.

When I opened it, I saw that it was full of brand-new banknotes with a denomination of 10 yuan.

Liu Xing smiled, and didn't count it: "It's not the first time we have done business, so believe you, there are more than a thousand pairs of shoes in the backyard, you can go and get them yourself! My sister should be there, he can help with the points." ”

"No, I want you to bring it here today in a black calf, it must look better than the previous one. Lu Jun proposed.

"You!" Liu Xing shook his head when he heard this, but he didn't say no, but took the lead and walked out of the shoe store, letting Lu Jun pick out the shoes in the bamboo basket.

Seeing that Lu Jun chose to choose and pushed a tricycle on the side of the road and began to load it, no matter what style it was, he couldn't help but laugh.

This guy isn't a picky eater at all!
