Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 273 Make more money

Xue Ling had breakfast early, helped her son wash his face and wipe his hands, and then changed his clothes.

When mother-in-law Liu Ying came over, she had already fed her son and was playing with him.

She handed her son over to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and then hurried to Café de Coral to help.

Cheng Tianyuan hadn't come back yet, so she rode her bicycle over.

Father-in-law Cheng Muhai had already opened the store and was sweeping away the snow outside the door. When he saw her riding over, he quickly shouted: "Ling! Slip carefully!"

Snow accumulated all over the ground, and Xue Ling stepped hard. When she arrived at the door of "Café de Café", she was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Dad, be careful not to get your shoes and socks wet. I'll park the car."

Cheng Muhai nodded and swept the snowflakes vigorously.

After a while, Xue Ling came over to help clear the snow.

It snowed heavily last night and lasted most of the night. Snowflakes still occasionally drifted down. They swept the snow near the drainage outlet before returning to the store to drink water and rest.

The weather was too cold, the workers had all gone to work, and the store was very quiet.

Cheng Muhai turned on the radio, drank water and chatted with Xue Ling, while listening to the news and advertisements.

"Oh! It's going to be cold in the next few days! Xiaoran needs to dress warmly, don't catch a cold."

Xue Ling said warmly: "Dad, don't worry, he stays at home every day and is warm! Our side faces south, and there are walls on the north, so wind can't get into the house. When he is awake, he is hugged by his grandma and aunt, and he is not afraid of the cold at all."

"That's right." Cheng Muhai chuckled and said, "In winter, I like to hug children. They are warm, and so are adults. It's nice to hug them to keep them warm."

Xue Ling couldn't help but laugh too.

"Dad, you haven't been home for several days. Why don't you let Brother Yuan come to watch tonight? You can go home and sleep for a night, and you can also see Xiao Ranran."

Cheng Muhai shook his head and refused: "My old man is a light sleeper, so keeping a vigil is most suitable. A Yuan can help take care of Xiao Ranran at night, so we can't let him stay vigil. When Chen Minkong comes down, I will go see the little guy in the evening."

Around noon, Cheng Tianyuan came and brought a lot of meat and vegetables.

The sky had cleared up, and the sunlight poured down on the snowflakes, which quickly melted.

Xue Ling and Cheng Muhai both sat outside to bask in the sun. They couldn't help laughing when they saw him buying so much meat and vegetables.

"How many days are you going to eat?"

Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I want to make some bacon and pickles."

Cheng Muhai looked at the sky and said, "If the weather continues to be like this, it will be very suitable for drying bacon."

Xue Ling got up and went to the kitchen to help him and make lunch.

After lunch, there were more and more customers, and the young couple went to the store to help.

It wasn't until evening that the two closed the shop and returned to the community.

After three busy days, Chen Min and Chen Lan came back.

Both of them looked a bit sad and seemed to have lost weight.

Xue Ling couldn't help but advise: "Don't be sad. If you are busy at home, then go back to work first. We are here!"

Chen Min explained: "Everything was done yesterday. The small ancestral hall was cleaned up, and the house was also tidied up. It's not okay if everyone stays at home and is dejected. It's better to come over here and do some work, so that the life will go by faster. .”

Chen Lan choked with sobs: "Mom...is gone, life has to go on."

Xue Ling patted her shoulder and asked, "Where's Ahu? Why didn't he come over?"

Chen Min explained: "He went to see Lili's sister-in-law and said he would come over for lunch."

Chen Lan saw that there was no one in the store, everything was cleaned, and there was no work to be done, so she said, "I'll go to the kitchen first."

Xue Ling raised her voice: "There is stew in the pot, please turn down the fire."

"Hey!" Chen Lan walked out.

After a moment, she shouted: "Sister-in-law! The phone is ringing over there!"

Xue Ling hurried over to answer the call. It turned out to be a call from the train station, asking her to pick up the goods quickly.

She took Cheng Tianyuan with her and found that there were dozens of boxes filled to the brim. "Brother Yuan, you have to find Ahu for help. First find a car to transport it back."

Cheng Tianyuan quickly went to find Ahu.

That afternoon, a full 56 boxes of goods were shipped back.

Xue Ling called Xue's father's secretary and asked for a fax of the manifest, and then proofread it one by one.

"This time they are all stored by number. Just look at the description and number on the box and you will know how many pieces are inside and what the numbers are."

"That's easy!" Ahu said with a smile, "No need to order at all!"

Mr. and Mrs. Shangoe came over quickly, opened several boxes and checked them, and they were all very satisfied.

"Brother Yuan, can you help me contact the large cargo ship as soon as possible?"

Cheng Tianyuan said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the pier to look for it."

Chen Shuiyu's face is tightly packed, her face is fleshier than before, her complexion is better, and she is more energetic.

"Xiao Xue, I still need Dr. Xiao's medicine, so I won't go back to the South Island with him. He can just go back with him when the goods are on the ship."

Xue Ling figured it out and couldn't help but ask: "Then will you go back to celebrate the New Year?"

"Yes." Chen Shuiyu explained: "I will go over to meet him at the end of the year."

It was the Chinese New Year, and there were not many ships at the small pier. Cheng Tianyuan asked the boatman for help, and finally contacted a large ship in the evening, saying that it would dock at noon tomorrow to unload the cargo, and then load the cargo and head south.

Mr. and Mrs. Shanyue had dinner together at Café de Coral.

"Xiao Xue, let's do the calculations later. Tomorrow we will go to the bank to transfer money."

Xue Ling responded and took advantage of the opportunity to eat first and secretly made a phone call to ask Xue's father.

Xue's father was eating hot pot with Xue's mother at home and asked: "How is the weather over there in Rongcheng? Is it cold?"

"It's quite cold." Xue Ling explained: "It has been snowing in the past few days, and the sun occasionally shines, which is okay. It must be very cold in the imperial capital, right?"

Dad Xue asked back: "It's minus [-] degrees, do you feel cold or not?"

"Pfft!"

Mother Xue grabbed the microphone and asked about her precious grandson.

Xue Ling said: "The weather will improve in two days. I will take him to the photo studio to take pictures. I will send you a few pictures then."

"Why are you sending photos? Hurry up and bring him over for the Chinese New Year!" Xue's mother was a little impatient while waiting, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen him for more than two months. He must have grown up a lot."

Xue Ling didn't care about talking about his son and urged: "I have something else to ask dad. Please return the phone to him."

"Go, go, go!" Xue's mother scolded with a smile and returned the microphone to her wife.

Xue Ling remembered the business and asked in a low voice: "Dad, the cost of summer clothes was low before. You said the autumn clothes this time only cost three yuan. Is it really only three yuan?"

"Yes." Dad Xue explained: "My friends sold those fabrics to me cheaper."

"Then you can't make no money all the time!" Xue Ling said, "I'll remit you three and a half yuan each."

"Anything is fine!" Dad Xue smiled and asked, "You are the only daughter in the family. Whatever is left in the future, isn't it all yours?"

Xue Ling chatted with them for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

When Shan Yue came to settle the accounts, Xue Ling initially offered six yuan for each item. He asked if he could get a discount and bargained as usual.

Xue Ling smiled and said: "We are all so familiar with each other, and I feel a little embarrassed to negotiate the price. Let's do this, the price is five yuan."

Shan Yue was more cheerful than his wife Chen Shuiyu and quickly agreed.

He can sell one piece for about seven yuan, and 20 pieces are enough for him to earn 30 yuan.If the market is good during the Chinese New Year, he should be able to earn more.

"I'll go back quickly. The ship has to go faster. I'll make a call tomorrow and notify other small merchants to wait for me to unload the goods at the dock in four days."

There are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year. If it is any later, it will be too late. I hope to make more money at the end of the year.
