The leisurely life of rebirth.

The jujubes and pomegranates in the yard will be cheaper if they don’t give stones to the uncle’s family. The couple don’t come by themselves, but let the children come over, smash the jujube trees, pick pomegranates, and confidently get a full basket every time they come. , The three children had to be carried to move away.

My mother brought home the flour coal and put it outside the gate.The eldest aunt used a flatbed car to get a car before dawn. She didn't expect to see Fang Monan before dawn. She was startled. She didn't even say hello. Fang Monan went back to the room to call for someone.It was difficult for her to 'run away' in a hurry. She was small, buttocks pouted, and she used all her strength to pull the cart and run away. She was probably very tired.

He has a bad mouth and loves to take advantage of the family. I really don't know how he let his aunt in.Marrying a wife and marrying an idler, if you don't marry well, it will harm three generations.It is estimated that there was an enmity with grandma and the others in the previous life, maybe it was because of poverty, so I can only comfort myself like this.

The vacation that my mother asked for from the unit is over, and the work just happened to be over, so I hurried back to the city.Dad stayed. Their construction team had just finished a project, and the winter was getting colder and colder outside, so they simply took a big vacation and came here to help, and Mo Bei also stayed.

The days went back to the past, during the day, my father helped grandma light the fire and steam the steamed buns, and gave them away.Gradually, I also discovered the big profits in small businesses. From the beginning, I just wanted to please my mother-in-law, and now I gradually care about it. [

Because the steamed buns were to be sent to high school before breakfast in the morning, I woke up very early. One of the two people I invited was the neighbor Liang’s family in the backyard, and the other was an aunt who was a distant relative of the neighbor’s grandfather in the south. The salary given by the grandmother was per person It was 15 yuan a month, and they worked very hard. After a running-in period, everything went on in an orderly manner.

Mr. Lin and Dad would have a plate every day when they were free for dinner. At this time, the two of them drank the Kung Fu tea that Mr. Lin taught Fang Monan to make.

Fang Monan likes to make Kung Fu tea very much. Watching the tea leaves unfold slowly in her hands, showing its exquisite taste, is a kind of enjoyment.

Of course, the tea and spring water are produced by the space, which guarantees quality and quantity, clears the liver and improves eyesight, and strengthens the body.

Mr. Lin, took a sip from his teacup. "Drinking a sip of tea is better than living gods!" Since he moved here, what he is most satisfied with is the 'well water' in this yard.The brewed tea leaves are of excellent appearance, rich in fragrance and long-lasting freshness.

After getting in touch with these days, my dad got to know Mr. Lin, and knew that Mr. Lin was not an ordinary person, so he often asked him—— his views on the future.The two of them played chess for less and less time, and talked longer and longer, and such conversations obviously had a great influence on Dad.It made Dad respect and admire Mr. Lin even more.

Dad's vision has broadened, and he has escaped from the narrow and conservative thinking of small farmers. In the days to come, whenever he encounters a major event, he will hold a family meeting to brainstorm and ask the old man for advice.After three days of farewell, you should look at each other with admiration.After more than a month, my father's temperament has changed significantly, and he has calmed down a lot.

In the middle of winter, my father received a telegram from my mother, saying that he was studying in the provincial capital for a month in the construction company, and he just came back on the eve of the Spring Festival.Dad received the telegram, rushed back to the city, packed up his things and left with his colleagues.

At the beginning of December, Fang Monan finally received the long-awaited letter. It should be said to be a small package. The package weighs a little, but I don't know what it is.Thinking that it had been more than two months, she thought that if she hadn't replied yet, she would try to send a few more letters after New Year's Day.

She walked into the bedroom, sat on the kang, opened the package with some difficulty, and slipped a few brand new ten-yuan unions inside, so she quickly picked it up.Fortunately, the door was closed, no one was there at lunch time, and no one came in.Look at the content of the letter is not much, just accept the clothing drawings she drew, but I hope to discuss the details over the phone, and leave my name and phone number, look at the neatly bundled money left in the package, a total of 1000 yuan , the other party really couldn't wait, she smiled and was really a person who knew the goods.

You must know that the bridgehead of reform and opening up was established last year, and there are not many Hong Kong businessmen. It is possible that she sent the letter rashly, and it was not sent to the wrong place, not lost, or the other party did not know the goods and did not respond.Looking at the package on the bed now, it is really lucky to be appreciated by the other party.

Fang Monan thought that the other party was really bold, so it was mailed like this, no wonder it was wrapped in so many layers, and he was afraid of being worn out and lost.It can also be seen from this that the other party is trying to catch her, so if they negotiate like this, they can obviously take the initiative.

Fang Monan took the phone number and the other party's name and address, and looked at the sky at noon, it was gloomy, it had been cloudy for two days, and it was probably going to snow heavily.Put on your coat.After talking to grandma, I went to find Mr. Lin. He just had lunch. Because he had a lot of things to do near the end of the year and he hadn't finished it yet, so he went back to the Education Bureau to work overtime. I should be able to borrow a phone from him. use it!

Walking outside, after nearly half a year of practice, Fang Monan seemed to have become resistant to the cold, and she didn't feel too cold when dripping water turned into ice.

After entering the Bureau of Culture and Education, I soon found Mr. Lin, who was busy in the office!

Fang Monan smiled and explained the purpose of coming, and Mr. Lin agreed without interrupting.But he doesn't have a phone here, but there is one in the office next to him. During lunch break, it's just right for her to call when no one is there.

Fang Monan looked at the black old-fashioned round keyboard dialing telephone on the table, took off his shoes and stood on the chair. The phone signal at that time was really not good, and the noise in the receiver was also very loud. He waited for a long time before dialing. up.She is holding the handset, the signal is not stable, and the voice of the phone itself has deteriorated, so that her voice will not sound immature, but more mature!The other party answered the phone, "Hi, hello! I'm Fang Monan."

Fang Monan heard the other party obviously heaving a sigh of relief, and then a deep voice like the sound of a viola came through the microphone, "Hello, hello, I'm Cheng Shigui."

Fang Monan heard that the other party was called Cheng Shigui. He didn't expect that the southerners at this time had very standard Mandarin and even had a strong London accent.I don't know if it has something to do with her good friend Cheng Shifei, now is not the time to think about it, the business is important. [

"Miss Fang, are you satisfied with the price we sent you?" Cheng Shigui spoke confidently, with youthful frivolity and arrogance, thinking that he hadn't fooled the other party and occupied the dominant position.He heard that the other party was a woman, and he could tell from the mailed envelope that it was difficult to find the exact location on the current Huaxia map. He only found the specific province, and the city it belonged to was pitifully small.If it weren't for the actual design drawings in his hands, the friends standing next to him would speak highly of these drawings and be ecstatic that he couldn't hide it.He couldn't imagine that it was from the mainland, he couldn't believe it, and until he received the call, his attitude was still unchangeably arrogant.

"Hehe...Mr. Cheng, I'm really in a hurry." Fang Monan was not in a hurry to express his opinion, whoever loses his temper first in this battle will lose. "Do you think I should be satisfied with this price?" She rolled her eyes and asked ironically.

He didn't answer her question, and of course he could hear her sarcasm, and said directly, "You should know that these pictures are designed locally in Hong Kong, and the price is already high for this." His voice was very loud and clear, and it was obvious that he felt that This price is very suitable for her now.He himself has the pride of being a Hong Konger. In his eyes, the mainland is very mysterious, backward and closed, and it is true that he has been here for half a year.Who made him draw the mainland when he drew lots on the back of his hand!

Fang Monan replied lightly: "Whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong, I only know where its value lies. Don't ask about the background of the drawings." She could hear the contempt and arrogance in his tone. "You should speak good English, and you should have stayed in England before!"

"Huh! How do you know?" Cheng Shigui raised his eyebrows and asked in wonder.

"Simple, you have a strong London accent in your voice." Of course, Fang Monan spoke in British English.

"Tsk tsk... I can't tell, so your English is also very standard." Cheng Shigui said words of praise on his lips, and slandered in his heart, whether the other party really has some real skills.

"Let's stop gossiping, be quick and tell us the specific conditions in your contract." Fang Monan was too lazy to chat nonsense with him, and the phone bill was very expensive.

"Well, five drawings, 1000 yuan. Five new design drawings a month." He said directly, the other party really couldn't hold back, this condition should be firmly secured.

"For the clothes I design, I want [-]% of the after-tax profit, and five design drawings a month. Otherwise, I can find another buyer. I believe they will be more discerning." Fang Monan said arrogantly.From the voice, she could tell that the other party was a young, arrogant kid, and he simply regarded her as a fool.

Fang Monan couldn't hear any voice from the phone, so he probably covered it with his hands, and after about a quarter of an hour, "Miss Fang, you are so arrogant!"

"I have this capital. I believe that you are a person who knows the goods. I believe that the big market of Huaxia will make you a lot of money at the speed of its development. I still want less." Fang Monan said that I am at a disadvantage. It looks like you have taken a lot of advantage.

The other party was silent again, Fang Monan turned the phone line.

"Okay, I agree, but the signing time must be ten years." Cheng Shigui was silent for a while, and finally replied decisively.

"Well, I want the official contract text of the law firm. After you sign it, send it to me. I'll sign it and send it to you." Fang Monan said.

"By the way, I hope we don't meet for the time being, and don't tell anyone my information. I believe you understand this. I'm only responsible to you." Since the other party agreed to Fang Monan's conditions so neatly, she also agreed. Give him more favorable treatment, hope he can understand.After all, she is too young, and she doesn't want any trouble to meet.

"Well, here is my address and home phone number in the SAR and Hong Kong." Cheng Shigui told her his personal information. "By the way, how can I remit the money to you?"

"What about me now! Don't need cash for now. Since it is convenient for you to enter and leave Hong Kong, it's better to exchange it for goods. You should prepare electronic watches, calculators, and small things that are not available in mainland China. You can buy them!" Fang Murnan calculated in his heart that these things are much more cost-effective than money.

"Tsk tsk... Ms. Fang is really good at calculating." The items she wanted were very cheap in Hong Kong, and they were several times the price when they were brought to the mainland.

"Okay, let's do this for now! It's nothing, I'll contact you by letter in the future. The phone bill is too expensive." Fang Monan finally said, and hung up after speaking.

************************

Cheng Shigui listened to the busy tone of 'beep...beep' on the phone, and muttered to himself: "How could I feel that I was negotiating with an old man in a shopping mall! And I was at a disadvantage." [

The young man sitting opposite the table, with his legs up on the table and his body leaning on his back, was holding five blueprints in his hand, smacking his tongue incessantly, his eyes full of admiration.The three of them made him the most reluctant to let go, and it was so hard for a woman to put it down. "Come on! Agui, you've made money. Don't talk about the hot sales here. Even with the economic downturn in Hong Kong, the sales are pretty good. What else can you say? Don't be emotional, just rely on these three design drawings , that is definitely at the level of a master."

The drawings sent by Fang Monan started to go on sale half a month ago, just like the previous forecast, it shouldn't be said that the sales are more popular than the forecast.

"Don't call me Agui, be careful, I'm in a hurry with you." After Cheng Shigui listed the things that Mo Nan wanted to buy, he threw the pen on the table over. "It's such a stupid name." Thinking about how he, a high-achieving student who graduated from Cambridge University, got this name, the past should not be mentioned.The names of their grandchildren are all given by the old man as "Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi, Gui".

"Okay... I won't call you in the future, I'll call you by your English name, Matthew." He took the pen from the other side, "Then he said his name on the phone just now..." Seeing Cheng Shigui staring at him , swallowed the rest of the words, "However, she lives in a corner! It's been almost half a month since we sent the letter! Fortunately, it finally arrived in time, otherwise we might miss it."

"That's right! The letter from someone has been on your desk for nearly a month, and it's thick with dust." Han Zhiqian joked.

"Who told her to send it at the wrong time? Wasn't I in Hong Kong at the time!" Cheng Shigui said with a stubborn mouth and unreasonable reasoning.

"Okay, fortunately, Ms. Fang is patient and waiting for the reply. Otherwise, if it were me, I would invest in a few more clothing factories and meet people who know the goods. We really couldn't find the grave without crying." Han Zhiqian looked dangerous.

"Hehe... This shows that we are destined." Cheng Shigui looked at Fang Monan's letter, which only said Hong Kong Clothing Company, not even a specific name, it was very general. "I really thank Lady Luck."

"Thank Goddess Luck, it's better to thank the postman for coming." Han Zhiqian laughed.

Cheng Shigui raised his eyebrows and thought about it: "Really! Thanks to the postman." Later, when Fang Monan's letter came again, when the postman came to deliver it, Cheng Shigui took out the first letter from Fang Monan and asked the postman, Coincidentally, it was he who delivered it.Cheng Shigui asked why, and the postman said that Cheng Shigui's garment factory was the closest to the post office.This dumbfounding reason made Cheng Shigui feel a lot of emotion, and finally he was right.

"By the way, after talking for so long, how old do you think she is?" Han Zhiqian asked curiously.

"The voice is low, like a mezzo-soprano. He must be older than us!" Cheng Shigui frowned and said hesitantly.

"That's okay," Han Zhiqian patted his chest and said, "If I'm younger than us, then I should really work hard when I go back to school."

Cheng Shigui handed him the paper, "What do these mean?" Han Zhiqian didn't know, so he had to look at him.

Cheng Shigui recounted the situation on the phone.

"Wow... Miss Fang is really not an ordinary person." Han Zhiqian exaggeratedly shouted.

"Okay, don't talk too much. You have to go back tomorrow, and it happens that this matter is left to you." Cheng Shigui smiled smugly.
