90s Little Struggle

Chapter 97 Confidence
It is said that three years are new, three years old, and three years are repaired.

Not only that, but now people buy clothes for their children, and they have to buy two sizes too big, so that they can wear them for two more years.

The main reason is that children grow up fast, and everyone is reluctant to buy new clothes every year.

Therefore, Wu Julan was really impatient when she saw that her youngest daughter was also wearing a suitable red down jacket: "Didn't I say that I have to buy a bigger one for Yanyan, the one you bought is so suitable, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it in the next year. "

On the contrary, the clothes my daughters bought for her are big enough, I can wear them now with a big belly, and I can still wear them all the time in the future.

"The little thing on my sister's body is the last one, and it's 20 yuan cheaper than the bigger one." Xiao Hong winked at Yanyan after finishing speaking.

This white lie instantly made Wu Julan stop nagging, and started looking at the down jacket they bought for herself.

There are not many colors of down jackets now, and Xiao Hong, who is bright red and green, doesn't like it, so both sisters chose black half-length down jackets.

She likes to wear looser clothes, so she deliberately bought a size up.

At that time, Xiao Fang hesitated, mistakenly thinking that Xiao Hong was doing it to wear it for two more years.

Although she thought that the sisters might not grow any longer, she also bought a large down jacket just in case.

Wu Julan stretched out her hand to pinch it, and seeing that it was loose, she was very satisfied: "Fortunately, it won't be tight even if you add a sweater inside."

The corner of Xiao Hong's mouth twitched: "Mom, you think too much, this down jacket is very warm, no need to add more clothes even if it is colder."

The whole family can wear new clothes during the New Year, even the latest down jackets. The whole family is very happy.

No, except for Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong doesn't like the woolen pants and sweater she wears at all, but the price of cashmere is so high now that she is a bit reluctant to buy two for herself.

She was depressed, and felt that she still had to earn more money so that she could buy whatever she wanted, so that she didn't have the conditions to wear something more comfortable.

Mr. Zhao carefully changed out the new down jacket, hesitated for a while, and then told them: "Don't tell the outside world that what we bought is a down jacket, just say it is a cotton jacket, lest other people know that we have earned so much money, and come to the town to open a shop." .”

Everyone nodded vigorously, even Yanyan knew that the reason why her family can live a good life now is because of opening a shop.

She prefers the good life of eating and drinking now, and nodded vigorously: "I won't say it either."

Wu Julan urged her daughters to change into new clothes: "Save them for the New Year, don't get them dirty."

And curiously asked in a low voice: "What happened to Feifei? I think she looks like she has been crying for a long time."

Xiao Hong hesitated for a moment, and told them about Feifei. Seeing that her stepfather's angry face had changed, she hurriedly told them: "If the aunt doesn't tell me about this, you should just pretend that you don't know about it? Maybe they don't either. Would you like to mention it again?"

She said this just to let them know that Yao Guangrong is not a good person, so be more careful about him in the future.

Zhao Laosi nodded sullenly, looked at them again, and told them worriedly: "In the future, when you go to college, you must be more careful, and don't drink alcohol."

Who made his two daughters look so juicy? He was really worried that he would be tricked.

Wu Julan also nodded worriedly: "Yes, we must be careful, we must not have the intention of harming others, but we must have the heart of defense."

Looking at them again, she asked with concern, "By the way, where are your transcripts? Did you all pass the exam?"

Although she was asking about the two sisters, her cautious eyes fell on Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong immediately felt heartbroken: We can still live in peace without talking about grades.

Xiao Fang knew that her sister did not do well in the exam, so she didn't want to embarrass her, so she didn't take out her report card, and said calmly: "Our exams are all good, but our English is not good, but we bought a tape recorder. Study hard."

Xiao Hong also took out the tape recorder, put on the English tape and started playing English.

She purposely bought a small imported tape recorder, about the size of a textbook.

In fact, the price of electrical appliances has dropped a little over the years, but it still costs 230 yuan. In order to avoid the distress of her parents, Xiao Hong told a white lie: "It's not very expensive, and the tape is less than [-]."

"You're really serious, isn't it expensive?" Wu Julan felt pain when she thought about how much they spent more than a thousand yuan today: "Then you should be careful with it, and you can save it for Yanyan in the future."

Xiao Hong could only change the subject: "By the way, that big bag is full of spices and seasonings, some of which are already crushed where they are sold."

"I also bought it as you said." Zhao Laosi greeted Xiao Hong to look at his newly bought cauldron, gas stove, vegetable oil, sweet potato powder, etc. There are too many, besides Boss Li who has a chicken farm, there is also Boss Hu who also has a chicken farm, but it is a little far away from us, more than 50 miles away."

"However, he also raises four or five hundred white feather chickens, and he is willing to send at least thirty chickens every time."

He was worried that he would not be able to sell so much at one time, but Xiao Hong thought it was too little, and worried that the supply would not be available.

"Although the fried chicken we want to sell is not cheap." Xiao Hong said with confidence, "But the owners of the twenty or so shops on our street, as long as it tastes good and is novel enough, they are definitely willing to buy it."

"In addition, there are forty or fifty stores on the old street, and some old customers with pensions in the town will be willing to buy them."

"Anyway, I think it must be very easy to sell fifty or sixty catties a day. It just so happens that the weather is cold, so it doesn't matter if you leave it for four or five days."

Zhao Laosi was also moved by what she said: "That's okay, I will ask Boss Hu to send us [-] chickens for a try tomorrow."

Looking at Xiao Hong again, he asked, "Then shall we start selling fried chicken the morning after tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Xiao Hong thought that the control of illegal buildings is still lax now, so she hurriedly made a request: "The smell of fried chicken oil is too strong, so let's fry it outside. Uncle, you can cover it with a plastic sheet, so it can be put down." Just two pots are enough to prevent wind, dust, and light rain.”

Zhao Laosi replied straight away: "Okay, I can fix it tomorrow."

The family discussed for a while before getting ready to go to bed.

The next morning, Zhao Laosi and his wife got up early to work.

Mrs. Zhao also got up to help, but unfortunately there are very few customers who come to have breakfast and buy braised meat, and they are all free to have breakfast together.

Taking advantage of no one, Mrs. Zhao thanked her: "Luckily, Xiao Hong was there yesterday. Our mother-in-law was right. Xiao Hong's child was lucky enough to keep Feifei safe and sound. I have to thank her very much."

Don't mention how beautiful she is in Wu Julan's heart, she is willing to listen to others praise her daughter, if she thinks that her sister-in-law is not in a good mood now, she can only hold back her complacency: "They are all sisters, they should help in the first place, don't worry about it, sister-in-law superior."
