good old days

Wang Sumei found an inch photo from the album and pasted it on the business license with glue.

She took the business license and took a look at it, but she felt it was not enough.

Although it is not an honor, it makes me feel inexplicably happy to see it.

The grandson was twirling his fingers on the bed. Wang Sumei gently pinched his little face and said proudly: "I'll stew two eggs for you."

After getting the business license, Wang Sumei was high-spirited, thinking that no matter how many stalls there were at the street entrance this Saturday, she would take the business license and set up a stall to sell large intestine flowers.

The Bureau of Industry and Commerce said that she was the first to apply for a license in the capital, so she should have more confidence than anyone in small business when setting up a stall.

This weekend at noon, Jiang Xinyu rode back by herself. Chen Yi is now a busy man and a celebrity in the school. He has a certain reputation in the entire capital's university circles.

There was no one in the courtyard, so she rode her bicycle to the intersection of Xiefu Street to check out the situation.

This Saturday was a lot better than the previous weeks, and the street became more popular.

In addition to eggs, there are also agricultural and sideline products such as mung beans, soybeans, bean sprouts, beans, tomatoes, etc.

Jiang Xinyu looked around and saw someone selling handmade insoles. As for her mother-in-law's stall, it was surrounded by a group of lesbians of different ages.

Next door, Grandma Zhang was sitting not far from Wang Sumei’s stall holding Jiang Xinyu’s baby.

As for Comrade Wang Sumei, she was introducing the price of the large intestine head to others with salivation.

"It's a dime each. Buy five and get one free. My dearest girl, this yellow one suits you. The color is bright. You have fair skin. You will definitely look good wearing this."

"Your hair is dark, thick, and shiny. This purple corduroy one suits you very well."

...

Jiang Xinyu thinks her mother-in-law is a good business person.

In just a short time, my mother-in-law sold it for [-] cents.

One cent can buy two eggs, and you can buy a lot of bulk hard candies in the supply and marketing cooperative. The purchasing power of one cent is not low at this time. My mother-in-law’s price is not cheap, and the sales volume is really amazing. Unexpected.

Wang Sumei looked up and saw her daughter-in-law coming, so she greeted her and said, "There is a seller of glutinous rice and tofu over there. You go back and get two bowls, and we will buy some back."

Jiang Xinyu was stopped when she was about to turn around.

"Comrade, do you still have the red flower on your wrist?"

A group of people turned their attention to Jiang Xinyu's wrist.

There is a red velvet headband on the white and slender wrist. I don't know whether the headband sets off the wrist or the wrist makes the headband look better.

It's obviously something to wear on the head, but it actually looks pretty good on the hand.

It is natural for women to pursue beauty. As the market opens up, girls’ pursuit of beauty will only become more and more diversified.

There were not many pieces of bright red velvet in the first place. After Wang Sumei made it, she asked Jiang Xinyu to pick out some brightly colored ones and take them back to share with her roommates.

Wang Sumei shook her head at the girl: "All the hair flowers I made are here. There are other colors, but this red one is gone."

Jiang Xinyu picked out a goose-yellow piece and gave it to the girl: "This will definitely look good on you."

After recommending it to several people, she took out a red headband and tied it into a bun.

Jiang Xinyu felt that there was no need for hairpins to pierce her hair, a black rubber band would be enough, but she was selling hairpins now, so she had to make the best use of them.

Everyone was stunned again, it looked so good tied like this.

It's not rigid at all, and the fluffy feel makes the whole person look very fashionable.After showing this trick, Jiang Xinyu couldn't leave and started teaching.

She took the opportunity and said, "Mom, you go home and drink some water. I'll show you the stall here."

Widow Wang was indeed thirsty, so she nodded and took the child back from Grandma Zhang.

Most people wanted to come over to join in the fun when they saw the crowd. The lesbians couldn't move when they saw Jiang Xinyu's hairstyle and haircut. People came in waves. Jiang Xinyu said that her mouth was dry and she couldn't even collect a dime. Very happy.

Many people living in the surrounding alleys came out to join in the fun. The stalls selling flower heads were full of people, and everyone was talking about it.

"I counted, this girl has collected almost three yuan."

"Where do you think her house keeps all the cloth?"

Wu Hongmei and her mother-in-law raised their eyes and said nothing.

"You make a lot of money this day. Isn't her son and her father a big leader? Aren't there subsidies for the son and daughter-in-law to study in Huaqing? Isn't it shameful to work as a self-employed person? Her daughter-in-law here is also ignorant. If she doesn't stop her, just give it to her. help."

"It's a bit embarrassing, but it will definitely make money. I just don't know how big her profit can be?"

"Old Song family, your family is not good at making rice wine. I remember that more than ten years ago, your family didn't sell wine on a pole every day. Why don't you do it now?"

The old Song family shook their heads like rattles, "How dare we? We may arrest people again one day. Take a look, apart from Wang Sumei, who sells things on this street, who lives in our alley?" People?"

All the old aunts were chattering away, and Wu Hongmei's jealousy disappeared again.We have to wait and see whether this stall can be run. If no one really cares about it, her family can also run this business.

Mother-in-law Wu Hongmei smiled at everyone: "Her large intestine flowers are sold well. I will also buy one for my daughter to support Sumei. Will you go?"

Everyone looked at each other with their own thoughts, "Let's go and have a look together."

Wang Sumei finished cooking and ate for a few bites before returning. When she arrived at the stall, she found that there were more people.

"Xinyu, go back and eat, and feed the child some rice cereal."

Jiang Xinyu's legs were numb while she was squatting, and there was a layer of sweat on her head. She drank half a teacup of cold water when she got home.

While feeding the child rice cereal, Jiang Yuzhu and Zhou Qi's sister Zhou Jin came together.

The fermented glutinous rice she bought before was sweet and delicious, with a slight aroma of wine. Jiang Xinyu divided it into two small bowls to serve the two of them.

After Zhou Jin finished eating, he was still not satisfied, "Where did you buy this?"

When Jiang Xinyu explained the situation, Zhou Jin smiled and said, "My aunt is also setting up a stall."

Jiang Xinyu was surprised how she knew her mother-in-law was setting up a stall.

Zhou Jinxiao said: "I work in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau now, and my aunt was the first person to apply for a business license. She didn't have a registered permanent residence in the capital, so she couldn't have applied for it."

Zhou Jin stopped talking at this point.

Jiang Xinyu understood that her mother-in-law was able to obtain the business license probably because of this person.

"I really don't know how to thank you. Don't leave tonight and have a meal here."

Zhou Jin smiled: "Then I'm not polite, but this matter is just a piece of cake, you don't need to take it to heart."

"Setting up a stall is not a long-term solution. Now that you have a business license, I still suggest you find a store, which is more formal and legal and does not need to be exposed to the wind and sun."

Jiang Xinyu felt a little strange. Was Zhou Jin too enthusiastic today?
