good old days

It gets dark later in the summer, so you can still sell for a while before it gets dark.

Wang Sumei went home with the duck to cook, and Chen Yi returned with the child in her arms.

Zhou Jin was surrounded by people asking what a business license was and what to do.

Jiang Xinyu spread out the cloth and arranged the large intestine flowers. The insoles seller followed suit and set up a stall diagonally opposite her.

"How old is Zhou Jin this year?"

Jiang Yuzhu: "I'm 28, a few years older than Zhou Qi."

Looking at Zhou Jin who was surrounded by the crowd, Jiang Yuzhu whispered: "My eldest aunt is more favored by Zhou Qi's grandma than Zhou Qi's cousins."

The Zhou family not only has two rooms, but also a prosperous family, and almost all of them are cadres. It is truly a high-ranking cadre family.

"Your eldest aunt is a hero among women."

Just being able to remain calm in the face of so many bastards is impressive.

“It’s not something that a hero among women can bear, but that’s where the responsibility lies.”

Zhou Jin finally squeezed out of the crowd and heard these two people talking about her.

Jiang Xinyu showed her thumbs up and said, "Sister Zhou Jin, you are a role model for female cadres. In my eyes, you are this."

Looking at her thumb, Zhou Jin smiled, "You Huaqing students are so direct when praising others. You are not a role model. I just did what I should do."

Zhou Jin spoke modestly, but couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

She doesn't care about compliments from others, but the sincere thanks from others really give her a sense of accomplishment.

It turns out that this is how she feels when she helps people in need through her authority. Not to mention, this feeling is a bit high, and she feels warm in her heart.

There were two stalls taking the lead, and before it got completely dark, the egg and glutinous rice sellers came back.

There were a lot of people out for a walk. When they heard the cries, they all came and gathered in a crowd.

It was getting dark, and Chen Yi came over to call a few people to go back for dinner.

I bought both tofu and duck today. The duck was cooked bright red in soy sauce and looked very appetizing.

The cornmeal pancakes stuck to the pot have a sweet aroma, and the salty and spicy soup makes the person feel warm all over. Zhou Jin thinks it suits her taste very well, so she gave Wang Sumei a thumbs up, " Auntie’s skills are enough to open a restaurant.”

Although she knew it was a compliment, Wang Sumei still felt happy.

"I asked you to spend money to buy a duck when I came here. My mother will have to blame me when I get back."

Wang Sumei said with a smile: "You are kind-hearted and have a sense of justice. It's not too late for us to welcome you. I will give you something else to cook next time you come."

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly. After finishing the meal, they talked for a while before sending the two of them to the entrance of the alley.

After returning home, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to sort out the money they earned today.

Chen Yi saw that the two of them were in high spirits, with a slight smile on his face.

Counting dimes makes people dizzy. They feel thick when pinched, but in fact they are just a few dollars.

"A total of six and eight yuan were collected, and there are still 29 flowers left." Wang Sumei frowned, "It's a bit wrong. I remember that there are a total of one hundred and seven in this package. Why can't they fit together?"

She bought three yuan worth of rags, and except for the large pieces that could be put together to make a small dress for her grandson, the rest were basically made into flower headdresses.

She thought it was a bit expensive to sell them for a dime. It was just the first day to try them, but she didn't expect to sell dozens of them today.

Jiang Xinyu: "When that group of people came, someone took it and ran away without giving them any money."

So how do you stop people in a chaotic situation?

Wang Sumei also remembered that. Although she lost some, she still made money overall. After excluding the money that was taken away without giving money, plus the remaining money that could be exchanged to reduce costs, after calculating, she The mood is soaring.

"Once all costs are reduced, the profit is almost 15% to [-]%. It can be used for four days a month. If you don't count too much, can you earn [-] yuan a month?"

Wang Sumei was in a surging mood after settling the accounts.

Not to mention the college subsidies for her son and daughter-in-law, in her eyes, educated people should earn money.Taking into account her small business, she can make so much money just by setting up a stall four days a month. It’s easy and not tiring. It’s much more comfortable than working in the village from the beginning of the year to the end of the year and barely making a few bucks.

She didn't do business in the past because the market hadn't been opened yet and there were no people setting up stalls on the streets. But these days, many people came out to set up stalls, and the people at the street office didn't care. This ignited her desire to do business.

She also wants to contribute to her family by doing business. Since she can do business openly in the future, she can't be idle.

"I'll discuss something with you two."

They both looked at her.

"I won't let him bring anything over again in the future, unless we still can't buy coal outside in the winter. There's nothing we can do about it. You guys won't get in the way at school, but the children can't freeze."

"I can make money in the future, so I won't let him support me."

Although the old woman is dead, and Wang Sumei thinks that Chen Jinhua should do whatever he does, her son still has the same attitude towards Chen Jinhua after almost a year, and she cannot accept Chen Jinhua's things while "preventing" her son from getting close to him. .Although that was not her intention, she couldn't take her son's attitude seriously.

If the two of them have any opinions, it's natural for her to do whatever she wants.

If the Chen family didn't come looking for trouble, their life would be so comfortable.

When the family was having a family meeting, Ding Lanhua, Wu Hongmei's mother-in-law, was dismantling the large intestine flowers that she bought there.

This Kao Sumei didn't even confiscate her money and gave her two pieces as a gift, thinking that she got the rags from them.

Wu Hongmei frowned and muttered: "You have to tear this beautiful hair into something like this."

Ding Lanhua rolled her eyes at her, "You haven't seen how much she sold today. At least fifty pieces. Each piece is ten cents. Fifty pieces is five yuan. How much cloth does this cost? You helped her get this cloth from the factory. She bought it from here. She only spent two or three yuan to make hundreds of them. After selling them all, she would earn about ten yuan. We only made two cents a time selling cloth for her. If you compare it yourself, it will make you feel uncomfortable. Not uncomfortable?"

"The cadres have already said that in the future, you can set up stalls according to regulations and make money by selling flower heads. Why can't I do it myself?"

Ding Lanhua held the cloth and gestured for a long time. She still hadn't figured out how to sew this flower, but it seemed too simple. She thought she would learn it sooner or later.

Wu Hongmei's husband felt that it was a bit embarrassing for her mother to want to set up a stall. "We have no worries about food and drink at home, so why are you doing this? Isn't it embarrassing to set up a stall? If others know that you are setting up a stall, Hongmei and I will have face in the factory." ?”

Ding Lanhua put her hands on her hips: "Why don't you have face? Wang Sumei's ex-husband is a big leader, her son and daughter-in-law are both students of Huaqing, and her daughter-in-law helps her set up a stall to sell hair flowers. Why don't you feel embarrassed?"

"You guys just don't have much ability and don't have much face. When you earn money, hold it in your hands and put it in your pocket. Isn't it yours? In the future, when we save the tickets, we can still buy a TV. If we encounter something that doesn't require tickets, why don't we just buy it? I just bought it, who am I doing it for, but for this family?”
