Chapter 828 Spring of 1982
“Sister-in-law, I know a lot of people, but the hair tie is too small, and I can’t get a few cents out of the profit. It’s hard to talk about this with those big bosses.”
Ma Tou thought about it over the phone. Shicheng said:
"But my cousin has set up a stall at the corner of the train station market. If you are willing, ask her to try it, okay?"
Lu Miao heard it before Fu Jingyou said that Guangzhou Railway Station is a huge wholesale market.
It is simply unrealistic for her to go high-end right from the start.
It is safest to use volume in the early stage to open up the market. Once you have more funds in hand, you can then consider other options.
After laughing, Lu Miao agreed directly:
“Okay, no problem, please don’t bother with this matter. I will pay for this purchase before the post office closes tomorrow. I'll send it to you and I'll pack up the other things."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Lu Miao said softly "Hmm" and was about to hang up. When she saw Fu Jingyou waving to her, she held the phone and said again:
"Wait a minute, don't hang up yet, your little brother Fu is with you." Say a few words."
Lu Miao handed the microphone to Fu Jingyou.
They were talking on the phone, but she wasn't listening.
The children in the room over there were howling for half the night, and they didn’t know what was going on.
Lu Miao went over to take a look and realized that it was a few older children sitting on the kang playing backgammon.
Baichuan, the youngest, is also the most wilted and bad.
The brothers and sisters were playing well. He would either step on it or pull at random with his little hands, messing up the whole game.
Shi An was the oldest and did not care about him, but he sighed helplessly.
Ming Xia guided his younger brother aside and said it couldn't be like this.
Xiao Baichuan looked at his sister's face. He didn't listen at all and still went his own way.
Mingyi, the eldest brother, cannot tolerate him.
He stretched out his feet, and Mingyi patted his feet.
He stretched out his hand, and Mingyi patted his hand.
After a few times, Xiao Baichuan was convinced, or maybe he was tired of the tossing, so he sat aside with his little hands in his hands and watched his brothers and sisters play honestly.
The little thing, who is only one and a half years old, will occasionally straighten his back, chest rise and fall, and let out an old-fashioned sigh when he is neglected.
Lu Miao saw it at the door and couldn't help laughing.
Brothers, friends, and respectful brothers who can subdue each other and have someone to fear can be considered a positive development.
Seeing the children calm down the "civil unrest" by themselves, Lu Miao walked away as if nothing happened.
No one stepped forward to interfere.
The relatives of the Lu family are all angry, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to find a place to pay New Year's greetings after the new year.
The old couple is also celebrating the New Year in the small courtyard this year.
On New Year's Eve, there was fish and meat on the table, and a copper pot with a thick soup base was hung up, and beef, mutton and green vegetables were cooked.
The elders take the main seat.
A bench was removed around the long table, and three chairs with backrests were placed side by side.
Except for Xiao Baichuan who couldn't sit still, the other three children all got on the table.
The whole family was chattering around the table, which was very lively.
Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei were also generous in their actions.
For this year’s lucky money, one person took gold bars back from the bank.
The adults will each receive a five-tael weight.
The small one weighs three or three pieces per person.
The other one gave out red envelopes directly, the big one was 100 and the small one was 50 each.
Lu Miao was really busy and she forgot to prepare for her elders and children.
Fortunately, Fu Jingyou remembered it and made red envelopes with red paper in advance. Each of the elders received 100 yuan and the children received 10 yuan each.
Although the amount is not large, it is within the ability and it is a token of my gratitude.
It's still great to get some luck when the occasion arises.
Anyway, no matter who gives it to whom, the things will end up in Lu Miao's pocket.
This was reflected when Lu Miao got off the table after the New Year's Eve dinner.
There were more than two kilograms of gold bars on hand. She picked them up one by one and fiddled with them for a while before taking them into the room.
It is rare that there is no snow in Beijing this year.
Lu Miao was collecting things in the room, while Fu Jingyou took the children to set off fireworks, firecrackers and flying monkeys in the courtyard. The children screamed happily, followed by the sound of firecrackers flying high into the sky.
Lu Yuanzheng stood beside Xiaobaichuan with his arms in his arms. From time to time he pointed where to lead Xiaobaichuan to watch the fireworks.
After Lu Miao cleaned up the room, she came out and collected the dishes and chopsticks with Tang Mei.
After playing with the children for more than half an hour, fearing that the sweat would loosen after playing for a while and catch a cold again, the whole family began to move indoors again, gathering in front of the TV to watch the New Year's Eve.
Xiao Baichuan was placed on the ground and allowed to jump around and play.
Lu Miao sat on the swing, her legs swaying gently, and peeled a small bowl of nuts.
The youngest didn't know how to share yet, so she specifically waved people to come closer, handed over the small bowl and asked to give it to her brothers and sisters, so that they could eat together.
“Mom?”
Xiao Baichuan tilted his head to look at his mother, his face full of confusion.
Lu Miao pointed towards the big ones, and the little guy immediately understood and ran over there holding a small bowl.
Ming Xia ate a nut kernel, kissed his brother on the face, and was the first to respond:
"Thank you, brother~"
Xiao Baichuan seemed to understand When he saw something, he smiled with squinted eyes, picked up a nut kernel and fed it to his sister.
Ming Xia took it in his mouth and ate it, then fed him one with his backhand.
What others give is always the best. Xiao Baichuan stomped his feet excitedly, as if he was happy, and fed his brothers and sisters in a full circle.
Lu Miao looked at it, sighing and narrowing his eyes.
In this brief moment, something struck her lips.
Looking to the side, it turned out to be the walnut kernels handed over by the child's father.
Her peach lips curled up, her thick eyelashes flapped gently like a small fan, her eyes sparkled and she lowered her head and pecked the walnut kernels from his hand.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious."
"Peel some more for you."
"Well~ No, give me some raisins, I want to Eat that.”
“Okay.”
...
The New Year of 1982 is destined to unfold in a busy way.
The family stays up until twelve o'clock at night, and the lights are turned off one after another at home.
The next morning, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou followed Lu Yuanzheng and paid their respects to several uncles with whom they had good relations.
In the afternoon, I was free to arrange my time and work on my own relationships.
Generally speaking, you have to arrive early during the holidays.
We don’t visit relatives and friends in the afternoon.
But the situation is special.
For example, Lu Miao will officially go to work tomorrow. If he doesn't rush over here today, he won't have time to come back later.
My friends and teachers who I simply made good friends with were very enthusiastic.
We know that each other is busy, so we don't care about these things.
Let’s talk about work.
It is a busy time for Guoyingshe.
I am very envious of Lu Miao, who started working at the mechanical and electrical factory on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and will return to the team step by step on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Fortunately, the office arranged for her by Guoying News Agency has been cleared out when she resumes work after the new year.
It's in the third room at the corner of the left-hand corridor on the third floor.
The independent space of about twenty square meters is not big, but because it was just tidied up, it still looks very empty.
The bookshelf is empty.
There is only one pen holder in the shape of an X on the entire desk, with two small five-star red flags inserted crosswise on the left and right.
Thank you for your votes, Ah Yao, keep up the hard work! !
