Chapter 156: Talkative (2 in 1)
On the way back, Lin Shu ignored the man who glanced at her from time to time.
In fact, he should have suspected it for a long time, but this time she did it too obviously.
In the past, there was an unlimited supply of rice, flour, various cloths, fish, meat and fruits at home.
Maybe Gu Jiu was suspicious at that time.
But she didn't say anything and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only hold it in.
Go home.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I found Gu Youhui whistling and locking the tricycle.
"Coming back so early and being so happy, it seems business is good."
"Uncle, aunt, you are back." Gu Youhui greeted them hurriedly when he saw them.
Gu Jiu parked his bicycle and put his arms around his shoulders, "How much did you earn today?"
"I'm just a wage earner working for you. No matter how much I earn, I can't earn as much as you do." , Gu Youhui stretched out three fingers and said, "Three hundred."
"Not bad, each person can share one hundred."
"It's three hundred per person." Gu Youhui corrected.
"How much?" Gu Jiu picked his ears.
"Three hundred each!"
"."
Gu Jiuzheng can't do it anymore, he must be good at arithmetic.
Lin Shu walked side by side with him into the house, looked at Gu Jiu's disbelieving expression, turned around and asked with a smile: "How much do you sell at the stall outside?"
< br>Speaking of this, Gu Youhui was proud. When he was selling fruit in the past, who would have thought that clothes would be so easy to sell, "I added two yuan and got twelve pieces."
"Tsk, the net profit is three yuan a piece, not bad, he has the potential of a profiteer." Gu Jiu came back to his senses, patted his shoulder, and passed him into the house first.
Gu Youhui was not ashamed but proud, and said loudly: "Thank you, uncle, for the compliment."
Lin Shu smiled and shook his head, and when he entered the room, he poured a glass of hot water to drink. , she said: "You should work harder these two days, business may not be so easy in two days."
"Huh?" Gu Youhui was frightened. He was startled, "Little aunt, what do you say? Do they know that I have increased the price and won't buy mine?"
Lin Shu shook his head: "The leaders of your aunt's factory are not fools. They know that we are doing it outside. Special sales, stalls, and business are booming. Do you think they will come out of their own factory and rent a storefront to conduct special sales and clearance? "
If the first garment factory is clearing out its inventory like this, then other garment factories won’t be clearing out their inventory at the end of the year.
You must know that the business models of major clothing factories are very different. If the first factory has unsaleable inventory, then the second and third factories must also have it.
"When the time comes, they won't give us the unsaleable money?" Gu Youhui was worried and thought about whether he should give it a try tomorrow, one car in the morning and one car in the afternoon.
Lin Shu: "That's not true. They will still wholesale to us. It's just that they have a special store outside the factory, which may affect our sales."
Waiting for other factories to follow suit. , business is definitely not as good as the first few days.
Lin Shu underestimated the perseverance of a young man who wanted to make progress, and saw Gu Youhui breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as they give us the unsaleable money, it's hard to sell in the provincial capital. At worst, my brothers and I will work harder and go to the town below. Set up a stall."
After hearing what he said, Lin Shu and Gu Jiu looked at each other and smiled, as long as this kid doesn't get discouraged.
His fruit stall business is not as good as it was some time ago in the middle of winter, and he still earns little money from being out in the cold every day. He might as well sell clothes instead during this period at the end of the year.
"At the rate you are making money, you can rent a storefront and open your own fruit shop next year." Lin Shu chuckled.
It is very hard to set up a stall outside, and the weather is still warm. Especially when the cold wave hits during this period, Gu Youhui feels particularly deeply.
It would be best to have a fruit shop of your own, out of the rain and out of the sun.
Gu Youhui estimated that he had saved nearly three thousand dollars, which was enough to open a store.
"Little aunt, which street do you think is the best for my fruit shop?"
Lin Shu turned his head and asked Gu Jiu, "Which do you think is the best?"
Gu Jiu chuckled and raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Lin Shu saw him throwing the question to her again and gave him an angry look: "I think it is best for the fruit shop to be surrounded by residential areas, especially those with good work units and welfare."
Gu Youhui frowned. He thought to himself, "There are many such residential areas in provincial capitals."
"Stupid!" Gu Jiu cursed secretly and glared at his nephew, "Our compound is your high-quality customer group. Opposite is the family area of the Public Security Bureau, which is also a good source of customers. Just find a store on the street outside as your aunt wants."
After being reminded, Gu Youhui suddenly became excited and jumped up from the sofa, " Yes, why didn't I think of it? I won't go to this street to rent a store next year."
"Two of them, one is not enough!" Gu Jiu added.
He absolutely refused to admit that he had not thought of this, otherwise he would have opened a canteen on this street.
It’s dark under this lamp, a bit serious.
After returning to the room at night, Lin Shu looked at Gu Jiu who came out of the shower and asked, "Things here in the provincial capital are basically on track. When will we return to the county town?"
Now it has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in just twenty days. If we count from the previous life, she has not celebrated the Chinese New Year in her hometown for more than 20 years.
When she is reborn this year, she wants to celebrate the New Year with her parents and family.
Gu Jiu wiped his hair and said, "I'll make arrangements in the next few days and buy tickets the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Thinking that the day after tomorrow would be the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Shu nodded.
The train ride from the provincial capital to their hometown takes nearly ten hours at current train speeds, which means they have to eat at least one meal on the train.
Gu Jiu prepared fruit cookies, and Wang Suzhen also asked the nanny to bake a dozen pancakes with flour and boil a few hard-boiled eggs.
At least make sure they have a full meal on the train.
Lin Shu wanted to say that there were meals for sale on the train, but this was Wang Suzhen's mother-in-law's wish, so she didn't say anything and silently took the things she had prepared with her.
This time Gu Jiu still bought a sleeper berth ticket. The two got on the train and checked. The difference from when they came was that this time the tickets were for an upper berth and a lower berth.
Lin Shu lay on the lower bunk and breathed a sigh of relief, "I can finally go home."
Gu Jiu stuffed his luggage under the bed and was about to turn on the water. He smiled after hearing her words Laughing, in fact, the two of them live their own small and comfortable life in the county.
Gu Jiu also misses not having the hustle and bustle of the provincial capital.
I don’t know if it’s the Chinese New Year, but there aren’t many train passengers heading south, and no one came in until their carriage stopped at the station.
In this way, it was quiet along the way.
Lin Shu was carrying a small bag and Gu Jiu was carrying a duffel bag in both hands. They got out of the car one after the other.
Before the two of them walked out of the crowd, they saw a man waving to them at the exit of the station.
"Gu Jiu, Lin Shu, here!"
The couple couldn't hide their surprise when they saw the person coming.
Lin Shu frowned slightly: "Why are you here?"
Lin Gang took the luggage from Gu Jiu with a wink. After hearing Lin Shu's words, he asked funnyly: "What? You don't want me to pick you up?" Lin Shu curled his lips. People would murmur in their hearts when someone they haven't dealt with since childhood picks you up.
Gu Jiu easily took the small backpack from Lin Shu and asked with a smile: "I'm also curious, how come the third brother has time to pick us up today when he's not at work?"
< br>
Lin Gang led them out and replied: "Our power station has been crowded with a lot of people in recent months. Due to the excessive number of people, we now implement a rotation system. I will take turns these days."
Gu Jiu nodded, "In the second half of this year, most of the educated youth who jumped in the queue will return to the city. The employment situation in the city suddenly becomes serious, and every city is under the same pressure."
There is pressure, and various units are not We need to create as many jobs as possible to accommodate unemployed young people.
Lin Gang shook his head: "Do you know how many people have been hired by our unit in the past two months? One hundred, fifty or sixty positions."
The number of employees has doubled, and now Don't switch to a rotation system.
True to the saying, two people can do the same thing for one person, and three people can eat the food for two people.
Anyway, the above requires everyone to have food to eat, as long as they don’t starve to death.
Lin Gang rode a bicycle this time and pushed a bicycle over.
"You're really good. You can ride one and push another over here." Gu Jiu tied the two luggages to the back seat of Lin Gang's bicycle.
Lin Gang: "I heard that your wife got carsick, so I had to carry the two bicycles over."
Gu Jiu sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, uncle."
Lin Dongfa opened his business opposite the city bus station. The flow of people is very large every day, and the business can be imagined.
When the three of them arrived at the door of the store and saw that the door of the store was crowded with people, Lin Shu said hesitantly, "It's still early, let's just take the car back to the county seat."
Lin Just looked at the two of them, "You don't want to have a meal here before going back. I brought my partner here this time, thinking that it would be such a good opportunity to meet you, and I wanted you to meet him."
Lin Shu: "My partner? Why didn't you go back to the county town when you brought your partner back? My mother is in the county, so it’s convenient to take her to see her.”
Lin Gang looked at the store that was crowded with people, and then pointed to another store more than ten meters away: "I also want to take my partner to meet my parents. After I came here, the business here in Dongfa is very good. I and I All my friends were stopped by him as day laborers."
Lin Shu looked in the direction he pointed.
Got it!
The clothing business is better in the store over there.
That is, Lin Shurang Dongfa Lane’s sale.
"Such a good business. Normally, the goods we consigned for him last time have almost been sold. Why are they still being sold now?"
"I heard from Dongfa that the goods you consigned have been sold for a long time." Sold out. These are the unsold items entrusted to him by the city's clothing factory."
Lin Gang took them to the alley next to the store. After not walking far, he opened a side door. Pushing the bicycle in one step.
"Come in, this is the yard behind the store. In front is the store, and there are a few rooms in the back for people to live in."
Lin Shu and Gu Jiu walked in. This is a rare opportunity to see the front door. The backyard layout of the store. In later generations, this kind of store layout has become rare, but I didn’t expect to find it in the city for that boy from Dongfa.
Gu Jiu parked his bicycle, looked at the small yard and asked, "Third brother often comes here to help?"
Lin Gang led the two of them into the house and made tea for them, "Since I knew Dongfa comes to the city and comes to help every time he takes a break. It just so happens that our unit has a car coming to the city every time he takes a break, so it is not difficult to come and help."
As he said that, Lin Gang looked at the time. , and quickly started washing rice and cooking.
The house we rent in the city does not have a wood stove, so we can only use a coal stove.
Lin Shu saw him as a grown man busy in and out, and asked curiously: "You used to be extremely lazy at home, but you didn't expect that you would become so diligent now that you are working outside?"
Lin Gang stopped washing the dishes, turned around and looked at her to make sure she was not sarcastic, and snorted: "You think I am willing?"
There is a canteen in the unit when he is away from home.
After talking to his partner, his partner always wants to buy groceries and help him cook, and every time he sees his partner busy, it is impossible for him not to help.
After going back and forth, I learned how to cook and stir-fry.
You know, when he was at home before, he wouldn’t even help the oil bottle when it fell. Now he can cook. Is it easy for him?
Lin Shu smiled.
I am looking forward to eating this meal today.
"Is the rice you cooked edible? Don't let it be cooked or cooked!"
"Since you dislike it, why don't you come?" Lin Gang stopped chopping vegetables and glared. she.
Lin Shu puffed up her belly. This was her trump card: "I am a pregnant woman. How dare you let me serve you? Where is your face!"
Lin Gang complained: "I have no face, what face do I want? You didn't give me any face anyway."
Gu Jiu was eating melon seeds and stroking his forehead. He was a natural enemy, but they got along well with each other. Within two seconds, as soon as they spoke, the two of them started fighting each other.
Lin Shu drank some water and snorted: "You are shameless, blame me. You are so diligent today just because you want to show off in front of your partner."
As she said that, she was really curious about it. Gu Jiu said: "I don't know who his partner is. What kind of beauty can actually make a second-rate prodigal like him turn around?" Gu Jiu pointed at himself, "I used to be a street kid. If I hadn't met you, who is so beautiful, I wouldn't be able to turn around. There’s no turning back.”
Lin Shu poked him on the forehead, "Don't talk nonsense to me. I admit that I am beautiful, but the beauty of the country is still far from beautiful."
Lin Gang: "Hi!"
Lin Shu turned back and glared at Lin Gang: "What, you are not convinced?"
Lin Gang turned his head to one side, not looking at her.
Lin Shu saw that he was busy and didn't care about him.
However, considering that the weather is so cold, if you eat stir-fried vegetables, the ones fried in the front will be cold before the vegetables in the back are cooked.
So, she suggested: "Gu Jiu, we returned to the county town in the afternoon, and we made hot pot to eat in the evening. In such a cold day, it will be very enjoyable to cook meat, vegetables and noodles around the stove."< br>
Lin Gang: "How about I go back with you in the afternoon? My partner and I haven't had hot pot for a long time."
Lin Shu rolled his eyes: "Get out!"
After sitting there all day Car, go home to who wants to entertain them both.
"Haha." Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to rub her head a few times.
At almost noon, Lin Shu finally saw the person Lin Gang was talking about.
A girl with a very gentle temperament, her eyes are crooked when she smiles, and her smile is very sweet.
After he came back and got to know each other, he helped Lin Gang cook diligently. Seeing that the two of them were sticky, Lin Shu rubbed his arms and whispered to Gu Jiu: "I didn't expect that Lin Gang I just like this one.”
“Which one?” Gu Jiu asked knowingly.
"Sweet girl."
Gu Jiu glanced at the busy two people, leaned into her ear, and teased: "Perhaps I have disliked you since I was a child, and I want to find someone like you. Completely opposite to your personality."< br>
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows: "Which model do you think I have?"
Gu Jiu curled his lips and smiled softly: "The one I like."
" Huh!”
