good old days

In the decorated living room of the courtyard, Jiang Xinyu sat on the sofa chair, watching Zhou Qi pretend to make tea.

Jiang Xinyu asked: "You two already live here?"

Zhou Qi brought two small cups of tea and placed them in front of them, "Your sister is on vacation, so I come here with her. We are always under the eyes of adults, and we don't feel comfortable doing anything."

Jiang Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled.

She used to go back to live with his parents every weekend during the holidays, but recently he secretly dragged her here. It was no exaggeration to say that she felt like the air was free.

After drinking tea and chatting for a while, Jiang Xinyu got down to business.

"Brother-in-law, go back to the warehouse on Lin Street and rent one for us. The space should be larger, about 100 square meters."

Zhou Qi nodded, "Do you want a front room?"

"There is no way to ask for it. The supply is now less than the demand. There are not many goods in Xinjiang Province and the Northeast, and the output is not high. There is not enough to sell here. There is not enough to sell in one store. Opening another one will not only increase expenses, but there is no way. Other benefits.”

If you want to make money in this era, goods are the most important thing. Although the country is moving from a planned economy to a market economy, the first few years of liberalization, especially the past two years, are a transitional stage, and only those who can get the goods can make money.

For example, when her mother-in-law first made the hair flower, even the scraps of fabric would stump her.

What is sold on the street is much larger than the agricultural products from farmers’ own fields.

For the raisins in her shop, the vineyard has to contact the state-run supply and marketing cooperative first, and only then can they sell them privately.

The output is not high and supply exceeds demand. In the past two years, her shop has been able to earn a lot of money throughout the year.

In the future, when the production volume increases and there are savings in hand, private companies will be allowed to open. It is completely possible to open a food company, but it is too early to say this now.

After completing these batches of goods before the new year, she no longer had to worry about the purchase of goods until May of next year. Even if she wanted to worry, she would not be able to find the goods.

After drinking tea, Zhou Qi raised his wrist to look at his watch and stood up quickly, "I have to leave quickly. I remember the warehouse matter and will handle it for you within a week."

After the people left, Jiang Yuzhu relaxed and leaned on the back of the sofa chair and said, "Xinyu, I don't want to be an actor anymore."

Jiang Xinyu was surprised. She still remembered several letters she sent her more than two years ago. She was very interested in making movies at that time. Even when she was admitted to medical school, she still waited for the film school to admit students and took the exam again. At that time, Zhou Qi's family obviously relented, but she still wanted to get into film school, even at the risk.

"Why? Movies are not your dream?"

Jiang Yuzhu shook his head, "What is a dream? After participating in Teacher Fang's film, I worked at the Xinhua Bookstore in the province, and later at the Capital Film Studio. Movies seemed to be the only thing I could grasp. , I can no longer explain my feelings at that time, maybe it was just to gamble with Chen Jiajia."

Jiang Xinyu asked: "Did your mother-in-law and Grandma Zhou Qi talk about you?"

Jiang Yuzhu nodded and shook his head, "Zhou Qi's grandma never said that, but she gave me advice on the direction after graduation. Zhou Qi's second aunt is quite eccentric, and I know that my mother-in-law is not very satisfied either."

Jiang Xinyu was confused when she heard her say again: "In the past, all the actresses in the studio wanted to marry well. Compared to others, I married well enough. Looking back now, thinking about it, my persistence at the time was a bit naive. Last time I went to the TV station with Zhou Qi, Xinyu, I want to be a TV news host."

There are different ideas at every stage of life.

When she was admitted to college, she wanted to seize the film school. Firstly, she really liked it, and secondly, although she really wanted to catch Zhou Qi, if she gave up the film school, her dignity seemed to be trampled on the ground by the Zhou family.

Jiang Yuzhu analyzed her past psychology, and then thought about what she saw and heard after marrying into the Zhou family, and felt that she was kind of silly and naive back then.

She may have had dreams before, but they may have changed now, but all along, what she wanted most was to make herself better and better.

Jiang Xinyu felt that her second sister had always had ideas. No one's ideas remained unchanged, and TV hosts were not that easy to do. She patted her shoulder and said, "Then work hard."

Compared to Jiang Yuzhu, she doesn't seem to have any plans for her future. She doesn't know which unit she will be assigned to in two years, but it is always right to have good results and make money at this stage.

After entering November, the weather is getting colder day by day, especially at night, and the wind blowing has the smell of winter.

When Ding Changhai's goods arrived, Jiang Xinyu and Song Yahui still went to the transportation company to find the driver.

I was busy until about ten o'clock, and the yard and the house were full of things. There were even a lot of them in Song Yahui's room.

If more goods come, they won't be able to put them in the yard anymore.

The freight for these four tons of goods is less than 1,400 yuan, which is much cheaper than the freight from Xinjiang Province.

Ding Changhai came within two days, walking with a limp.

Last time, they had to go to a guest house to open a hotel. This time, Jiang Xinyu's family had accommodation where he and Song Yahui could squeeze in together.

Wang Sumei specially bought a big cock to entertain him.

The smell of meat lingers in the kitchen, the TV is on in the main hall, and there are fruits and dried fruits on the table. The entire courtyard is piled with goods and it is difficult to see the whole thing, but the layout of the courtyard is upright and spacious.

Ding Changhai really felt that the life of Chen Yi's family was getting better and better.

"Brother Chang Hai, what's wrong with your legs?"

Ding Changhai opened his package and said, "I slipped when I was receiving the goods, and my ankle was so swollen that I couldn't stand on the ground. I came back a few days earlier if I didn't want to nourish this leg."

Wang Sumei poked her head from the kitchen and said, "Yahui, come here and serve the food."

Song Yahui was so pissed off.

Ding Changhai quickly took out the two packages from his bag.

"Brother and sister took it back to the room and took a look. There are three in total, one is fifty years old, and the remaining two are at least half as old. We can discuss the price after dinner."

Jiang Xinyu took advantage of Song Yahui's absence and hurriedly took the things back to the room.

It wasn't that she was on guard against Song Yahui, it was that she couldn't let outsiders know everything about her family.

A large pot of vegetables was placed in the middle of the table, accompanied by steamed white rice mixed with sweet potatoes, giving it a sweet aroma.

Wang Sumei greeted: "Eat more today, the vegetables and rice will be enough."

"Xiao Ding has lost a lot of weight compared to last time. He is also darker and his face is chapped. After washing his face at night, touch some oil to moisturize it."

Jiang Xinyu said deliberately: "Why is Mom so nice to Brother Changhai? It's not easy for us to eat meat on weekdays."

Naturally Wang Sumei will not be angry, "He has been busy for so long and came to our house. Isn't it right to give him a good meal?"

Ding Changhai grinned.

He is not a highly educated person, and he usually relies on loyalty to make friends. Chen Yi's family has flown out of their commune, and he just wants to have a good relationship with them. Although he is utilitarian, his heart is definitely sincere. People also like him, and he is naturally happy.
