Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 80 business is booming at the end of the year

After breakfast, Ji Dongming drove the three Sun Bingqing sisters away, and the four of them drove another car to the printing plant.

Jiang Chuheng waved the car keys in his hand in front of Li Haitang and smiled gently, "Haitang, are you still driving today?"

"Open it." Li Haitang took the key in his hand with a smile and hopped to the door.

Chu Xiaoman froze, then turned pale and asked softly, "Brother Four, brother yue yang, can she drive?"

"Yes, the first time I drove last night, my driving skills were on par with ours." After Xu Yueyang finished speaking, he opened the door for her and motioned for her to go up first.

Chu Xiaoman's face turned pale from fright. When she saw that both of them looked very calm, she suppressed her anxiety and sat down. Looking at Li Haitang's neat seatbelt in the driver's seat, she asked uneasily, "Li Haitang, can you really do it?"

"Elder sister Man, don't worry. You can. After you left yesterday, I drove them to have supper, and I drove them back after that." Knowing that she was timid, Li Haitang smiled and comforted her.

Jiang Chuheng consciously sat in the passenger seat and echoed, "Don't worry, xiao man. She's very good at driving. I'll be by her side even if anything goes wrong. Don't be afraid."

"Oh, okay." Chu Xiaoman was a little impressed by her ability to drive at such a young age. It was her first time driving yesterday. She was really bold.

Li Haitang quickly started the car and set off. At first, chu xiaoman was quite nervous and held the chair tightly. But after driving for a while, he found that she was driving very steadily, and he gradually relaxed. He also found something to say to her, "Li Haitang, you learned to drive so quickly. Do you have any skills?"

"Technique? I didn't have any skills. I just watched Dongming drive a few times, memorized the order, and went through my mind a few times. I thought it should be okay. I just tried to start the meeting." Li Haitang learned how to drive very quickly in his previous life. He dared to drive in more than half a month.

"Xiao man, driving is not as difficult as you think. After the new year, you should also take a driving license. Learn a little from the driver at the driving school. You will learn it in a month soon, and two or three months later." Jiang Chuheng deliberately found another thing for her cousin, so that she could have as little contact with the sun sisters as possible.

Chu Xiaoman had this idea before and nodded obediently, "Okay, two of our classmates also said they want to apply for a driver's license. I'll go with them."

"Well, you've changed a lot in the past six months. Good. Get in touch with your classmates, join more club activities, volunteer more at the orphanage of the nursing home when you have time, enrich your spare time, strengthen your friends from all walks of life, expand your vision, and you will find that life will be much more exciting." Jiang Chuheng was very satisfied with his cousin's change. The only thing that made him unhappy was the sun sisters.

When Chu Xiaoman heard Brother Four praising her, her face became more and more happy and she smiled brightly and beautifully. "Yes, I know."

Xu Yueyang, who was sitting in the back row, saw his brother's happy face and looked out of the window with a smile.

It took half an hour to get to pengcheng. Ji Dongming's assistant, xiao zhou, came over and led them to the office. Before Ji Dongming came back, jiang chuheng took Chu Xiaoman to the workshop and patiently introduced her to the uses of the various equipment produced. He also showed her a round of field tests.

He felt that this cousin was just too inexperienced and too simple-minded. He wanted to guide her to walk outside more, to get in touch with new things, to build up new friends, to slowly separate from the sun sisters and integrate into other circles of friends.

After Ji Dongming returned, jiang chuheng went to the office to have a meeting with them, while Chu Xiaoman was alone in the production workshop watching the workers carefully.

After finishing the work in the factory, they went to eat a hot pot at noon. In the afternoon, Ji Dongming and Xu Yueyang went back to the factory to deal with their affairs. Jiang chuheng took the two girls shopping.

He didn't know what girls liked, so he drove them directly to the largest shopping mall in Hushi, letting them choose and buy. He was responsible for the bill.

Chu Xiaoman picked out a red cashmere coat and bought one for his aunt and elder sister third respectively. Jiang chuheng saw that Li Haitang only looked at it and didn't choose it. "Haitang, you go and choose something you like. I'll give it to you as a new year's gift."

Chu Xiaoman's eyelashes trembled slightly as he picked out the clothes. He glanced at the price on the tag quietly and guessed in his heart that she would not refuse such expensive clothes.

But it was completely different from what she thought, and Li Haitang refused decisively. "Chu heng, no need. These clothes are suitable for elder sister Man and her more mature college students, not for our high school students. Besides, I'll buy whatever I like, and I don't want you to spend it."

Chu Xiaoman stole a glance at her, suppressed his complicated thoughts, and took the three clothes he had picked out to the counter to settle the bill.

After shopping around the mall, Li Haitang bought a shanghai man's watch and planned to give it back to Li Jianguo. He also bought Li Tao a pair of the most popular and inexpensive sneakers at the moment. He bought a dozen or so beautiful notebooks and insisted on paying for them.

On the contrary, chu xiaoman spent a few hundred yuan instead of a penny. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and looked a little embarrassed. It seemed that she had to learn to earn some money in the future. She couldn't ask aunt father of Aunt for all of it.

This time, she stayed in Hushi for three days. After dealing with the manuscripts of the factory and the newspaper, Li Haitang planned to return to tan city first. It was snowy this year. She was worried about the business of the wholesale department and wanted to go back early to help.

Jiang chuheng and the others also wanted to go back early, and the weather in the north was even worse. This trip would probably take more time. They bought tickets at the train station and left together on the fourth day.

At dawn on the 20th of december, Li Haitang finally returned to tan city, where she had been away for more than ten days. She carried her luggage and stepped on thick ice and snow to return to the wholesale department.

At this time, the li family father and son were not up yet, and the snow outside the wholesale department had not been cleared. She knocked on the door for a long time before the sound came from inside.

Li Jianguo put on thick clothes and hurried downstairs. Yesterday, Li Haitang called back. He guessed that she should be back. As soon as he opened the door, he saw her standing at the door, staring at the thin snowflakes above her head. "Haitang, you're back. Come in."

"Dad." Li Haitang called out and immediately strode in. The wind was chilly outside and it was too cold.

Li Jianguo immediately went to the kitchen to bring the coal stove over, opened the cover of the vent, and said, "Haitang, come over and roast the fire first. I'll get you a cup of hot tea."

"Okay, thank you, dad." Li Haitang patted the snowflakes on his body, squatted beside the coal stove, and pressed his hands against the wall to keep warm.

Li Tao, who was still dreaming, heard the knock on the door and heard Li Haitang's voice coming from below. He quickly got up and put on his clothes. He came down in his cotton shoes and his voice was still dry, "Sister hoi tong, you're back. Didn't you say the car might be late? Come back at this time. It's not too late."

"Well, I thought there would be some trouble on the road because of the bad weather. I didn't expect the road to be smooth. It was only a few minutes late."

Li Jianguo poured her a cup of hot tea and told Li Tao, "Taoer, go wash your face and brush your teeth. We'll have breakfast together later. Haitang didn't sleep all night. Let her go to bed early and talk later."

"Oh, okay."

The three of them were still eating hot noodle soup in a noodle restaurant not far away. After they finished eating, Li Haitang went back to his room to sleep.

On the other side, jiang chuheng and the other three arrived home two hours later than her. He called Li Haitang as soon as he got home. It was Li Tao who answered the call. When he heard that she had arrived home safely to sleep, he hung up without saying anything more.

On the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather cleared up, and the business in the shops was booming. After all, before the new year, it was the peak season for sugar sales.

Lin Peipei's father had a school holiday, and he knew that the shop must be too busy. He came to help with the three children early in the morning. With their large family of laborers joining in, everyone naturally felt much more relaxed. In just half a day, all the stock in the shop was sent away. During the lunch break, everyone went back to the warehouse to fill up the shop.

The good weather lasted until the 25th of december, and this year's wholesale department's business was much better than last year's. Fortunately, the wang family's deputy food factory had already prepared and delivered the goods early, so there was no need to rush them like last year's.

The toilet and pigsty in the old house did collapse after a few snowstorms. Li Jianguo asked two brothers to fix it up a little. He decided to take Li Tao home early in the morning and Li Haitang would stay in the shop for another two days.

On the night of the 25th, before the father and son of the li family left, Li Haitang invited everyone to have a new year's dinner and gave everyone a red envelope for the new year on the spot. It was 10 yuan more than last year. The adults were 28 yuan and the children were 18 yuan and 80 yuan.

As for Uncle liu and Sister liu, they were extremely diligent, and Li Haitang gave them an extra half month's salary as a bonus before the holidays.

On the afternoon of the 26th, uncle liu went home happily with the bags of new year goods Li Haitang gave him. Sister liu also took Duan Jinqiao home to prepare for the new year. The Lin family father and son stayed to settle the bill with Li Haitang like last year.

Li Haitang and Lin Peipei finished the last month and the whole year's ledger. When they saw the pleasant figures, Lin Peipei laughed happily. "Haitang, haha, we really made a lot of money this year."

"Not bad." Li Haitang smiled. The profits in the shop were more than she had expected.

"Dad, we made more than 4,000 yuan in the last fifty days, but this year, the average monthly income is about 3,000 yuan, and this month, we made a total of 7980 yuan, only 20 yuan from 8,000." Lin Peipei excitedly announced the good news to her father and two brothers.

"So many?" Lin uncle was surprised. He obviously didn't expect to make so much money this month.

Lin Peipei smiled and said, "That's right. Dad, our family will be a proper ten thousand yuan deposit account next year."

Lin uncle smiled, narrowed his eyes and praised, "Both of you are very capable. You have made so much money in such a short time. If you rely on the wages of your mother and me, I don't know how many years can you save so much money."

Li Haitang took the time to pour them a cup of hot tea and smiled, "The Clothing wholesale division in our provincial city is doing better. I spoke to my classmates over the phone this morning. Now that the store was out of stock three days ago, she might as well take an early holiday and let the employees go home for the new year."

"Really?" Lin Peipei jumped up in joy. She clearly remembered how many goods she had shipped in Yangcheng last time. If they were all sold, she would have a large sum of money to pay.

"Really, Xia Lin called. She checked the accounts today and told me a specific number. I'll show it to you." Li Haitang took out a notebook from the counter and gave it to her, "Xia Lin said that when the school starts, we can calculate it together. She will settle the money according to this number. If there is any mistake, we can deal with it next year."

"So many?" The money she had invested was just 20 %, and the first two months' income had all expanded the storefront, and the above figure was the last month's income, which earned all her investment in this month? This money is too easy to earn.

Li Haitang smiled and said, "That's right. I'll earn the cost back in three months. I'll just wait for a big share next year."

"Hehe, Su Tong must be the happiest now." Su Tong borrowed the thousand yuan from his parents and earned it back in three months. He would be happy to die.

Li Haitang was the happiest when he took them to earn money. He told her, "The money from the Clothing wholesale division. Xia Lin has transferred it to his bank card this afternoon. You can check it out in the next two days. The Sugar wholesale division's share for this month is 1,600, so I'll give you cash."

"Sure, I'll go to the bank to deposit it tomorrow." With her father and two younger brothers here today, she was not afraid to bring a large sum of money to drive home at night.

Li Haitang counted a large stack of family reunions in her bag, asked the four of them to check, signed their names under the ledger, and then had a light meal together at the small restaurant next door.
