Chapter 193 Visit
“Brother Gan, let’s buy something for a visit. It’s too embarrassing to go empty-handed.”
Li Lanqiu and Lin Gan stood on the curb and glanced not far away. You can't visit Lin Shu in the trading house where you live. You can buy gifts from her family's trading house.
At the same time, she also noticed the fruit shop next to the trading house, and hesitated for a moment, "Brother Gan, how about we buy some fruits and bring them to your door, do you think that would work?"
Lin Ganye I noticed the fruit shop and said, "Okay, let's just buy fruit, and we'll pick more later."
Li Lanqiu glanced at him and tightened her handbag, "Fruits are kind of thoughtful, brother Gan, you may not know yet, but this fruit shop is opened by Lin Shu's husband's nephew, who is also the owner of our hotel. What do you think? , they still lack some fruits for us. Eat?"
Lin Gan sighed helplessly, "I have no other intention, I just thought that since I came to the door, I have to get the gift."
Li Lanqiu didn't want anything else. Well, the only thing that can't be changed is stinginess. Maybe it was because she had lived in a tight city since she was a child, so she developed the habit of splitting every penny she got into two cents to spend.
Whenever you do something, always weigh the pros and cons or gains and losses in your mind in advance.
It loses its atmosphere.
When passing by the trading house, Li Lanqiu went in and said hello to Chen Li. By the way, Lin Gan, who had just arrived the day before yesterday, looked familiar in front of Chen Li.
At the entrance of the fruit shop, the first thing that catches the eye is the fruit basket placed in a conspicuous position at the entrance of the fruit shop.
The exquisitely decorated fruit basket is neatly arranged. Without asking, you will know that this fruit basket is definitely a valuable gift.
"You city people are really good at playing. You can play with several kinds of fruits to make flowers." Lin Gan picked up a basket of fruits and looked around, "But don't tell me, the quality of this fruit has gone up by dressing up like this. .”
“I’d rather say it. Our boss is very smart. You may not know that last year, our boss was a famous street kid in the compound. He made money and opened this fruit shop in just a few months, and then he made money and opened it and I work now. That hotel.”
Li Lanqiu glanced at Lin Gan and shook his head, wondering why the man he was looking for didn't have such a good mind.
Lin Gan asked: "Comrade, how do you sell this fruit basket?"
The clerk was weighing others and glanced at it from a distance, "Which size do you want? There are 4.88 There's also a basket of them 5.88, 6.88, 7.88 per basket.”
“His!”
Lin Gan and Li Lanqiu gasped after hearing this. 7.88 yuan is enough for her and her children to eat for a month. .
Because the couple was short of money, they made many choices and chose a basket of fruits worth 4.88 yuan.
Carrying the fruit across the road and walking towards the opposite compound.
Li Lanqiu stared at the fruit basket in Lin Gan's hand and exclaimed as he walked: "No wonder our little boss can open a store in a few months. It turns out that fruits can also be sold at such high prices!"
Lin Gan’s eyes lit up after hearing this, “Do you know what your boss did to earn the money to open the shop in a few months?”
Li Lanqiu pointed to the fruit in his hand, “I heard it was setting up a stall. Selling fruit.”
A basket of fruits, if weighed by type, is worth about two yuan, and the cost of the basket is less than three yuan. But his little boss priced it at four yuan and eighty-eight cents. Today he bought it willingly and was extremely satisfied with the fruit basket.
"How profitable is it to set up a stall and sell fruit?"
Lin Gan knew that doing business made money, but in his mind, opening a shop and doing business meant making money.
He didn’t know that a business like setting up a stall, which did not require the cost of storefronts, could still make money.
Li Lanqiu was a little hesitant, but thinking that her boss had repeatedly said that he was self-made, she felt that she should believe him.
"We should make money, otherwise our boss wouldn't be able to make enough money to open the store in a few months."
"Since we are making money like this, otherwise I won't find a job. You work in a restaurant and your income is stable. I will Let’s try setting up a stall for a few days. If I really make money, I will sell fruits in the streets.”
Almost at the moment of our chat, Lin Gan decided that he would not set up a regular stall in the future. I have to go around the streets and sell fruits as a hawker.
"Okay, you can decide this matter yourself."
The man worked hard to make money, and Li Lanqiu was not stupid enough not to support him.
Lin Gan concealed his excitement, finally finding a way to survive in the city, "When I see Lin Shu later, I'll ask her what she thinks?"
"Lin Gan "Why did you come to the provincial capital?"
Liu Xiao'e, who was playing with Dabao and Erbao in the yard when she first entered the yard, saw them standing at the gate of the yard at a glance.
Lin Gan walked in quickly with Li Lanqiu.
"Auntie, you are at home. I arrived in the provincial capital the day before yesterday. I knew that you and your elder brother and sister-in-law were also in the provincial capital, so I wanted to come over and see you. Are you still used to living in the provincial capital?"
Liu Xiao'e moved the stools for them enthusiastically and said with a smile: "I heard Lin Shu say that Lan Qiu has returned to the city. Are you here to see Lan Qiu this time?"
Place the stools in the stroller Next to him, he greeted the two of them warmly, "Sit down quickly. It's been a hard journey all the way. Sit down and rest for a while."
Lin Shu was making clothes with a sewing machine upstairs. Hearing that Lin Gan and Li Lanqiu were here, Just came down from upstairs.
"Brother Lin Gan, you came to the provincial capital to see your sister-in-law?"
Lin Shu brought out a pot of tea and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Lin Gan took the water and thanked him, "It's not a problem for the couple to be separated for a long time. Now the autumn harvest in the village has been completed. I just wanted to come to the city to see Lan Qiu and the children."
"I heard from Lan Qiu that you helped introduce her to this job. I'm here to thank you. If you need any help from me in the future, please contact me directly. Say hello, I will help you if I can. Nothing else, I have a lot of strength.”
Lin Shu couldn’t help laughing when he heard this, and nodded: “It’s a rare visit to the provincial capital. Stay a little longer and bring your wife and children to play at home if you have time."
Lin Gan agreed with a smile.
He scratched his head, smiled and asked: "I probably won't go back to my hometown years ago. This time I came here to pick up a load of grain, just to stay in the city for a few months to see if I could find it. Work.”
When Lin Shu heard this, she thought Lin Gan came here to ask her to help find a job.
Unexpectedly, he continued: "I heard from Lan Qiu that her boss, your nephew, started his business by setting up a stall. And his brother-in-law opened a fruit wholesale business. I just want to ask you, I Wholesale fruit from my brother-in-law and pick it up on the street. Is it possible to sell fruits in the street? Is there anything special about this city?"
Lin Shu nodded: "Youhui started by setting up a stall."
Speaking of Gu Youhui. , Liu Xiao'e, who had been sitting next to her to amuse her children, had something to say.
"Lin Gan, since you mentioned that you want to set up a stall to make money like Youhui, let me remind you. Setting up a stall from early in the morning to late at night will be tiring, so you must be mentally prepared." "Don't, Youhui. Looking at his current success, he had to endure a lot of hardships when setting up the stall. He used to set up a stall at a train station in the middle of the winter, in order to make a little extra money. As a result, his hands and feet were so cold that he suffered from frostbite, and he couldn’t even wear his usual shoes. No, the itching becomes unbearable when the weather gets warmer.”
Lin Gan heard this and did not take it seriously, "Aunt, no matter how hard it is to set up a stall, how hard is farming? We can endure the hardships of farming in the countryside, but I don't believe that we can't endure the hardships of setting up a stall."< br>
Liu Xiao'e smiled and said, "I won't tell you more. Only you will know if you experience it yourself."
Lin Shu looked at Lin Gan and looked hesitant. He looked full of ambition and smiled, "There is no particularity in setting up a stall in the city. As long as you are not short of everything, basically no one will make things difficult for you. Even if someone makes things difficult for you, don't be afraid. As long as you are reasonable, we will not be afraid."
Lin Gan patted his chest on the spot and promised: "We will definitely not be short of a pound, and we will not make such unscrupulous money."
"You have to be honest when doing business. You just need to know what you are doing. In the beginning, you can carry a load and walk through the streets. When you make money, you can buy a three-wheeled bicycle. It can save energy and make people feel more relaxed."
Lin Gan’s eyes lit up, “You are very optimistic about setting up a stall. , do you think setting up a stall can really make money?”
Lin Shu was speechless, “You have decided to sell fruits, don’t you still believe that you can make money in this era, as long as you are not lazy? You can earn money to support yourself. With a little more diligence, you can earn money to support yourself. Live a wife and children."
"My youngest is right," Liu Xiao'e took over. "My eldest couple came to the provincial capital with me to visit the youngest and the children after giving birth. During this time in the provincial capital, I set up a stall selling breakfast and made some money. The youngest has given some more support, and they now open a breakfast shop next to Youhui’s hotel. Lan Qiu should know about this.”
Li Lanqiu nodded excitedly, “Yes, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are not in our hotel. A noodle shop opened somewhere far away.”
There are two successful cases before. It seems that setting up a stall is really profitable.
Li Lanqiu looked at Lin Gan again, as if he were looking at the future fruit shop owner, and she was the future fruit shop proprietress.
Lin Gan also became more confident.
Liu Xiao'e thought of her second son who had not yet arrived, and sighed in her heart, "You are an action person, and you dare to do whatever you say. Unlike my second son, who asked them to come to the provincial capital for development in the first two months. . In the end, I agreed, but I haven’t made it clear to my family for two months.”
Maybe the second child didn’t know that the delay was money.
Lin Gan comforted him: "Auntie, don't worry. Before I came to the provincial capital, I went to the county town to find my second brother. I heard from him that the canteen has been handed over to the eldest sister clearly, and the children will come to the provincial capital once arrangements are made."
The main reason why Lin Guang and his wife were delayed was because they had to make arrangements for their children. The children go to school in the county town. When they come to the provincial town, the children will be taken care of by Lin Xue and his wife.
In later generations, those whose parents went out to work were called left-behind children.
In order to create a better development platform for their children, Lin Guang and his wife had no choice but to leave their hometown and come to the provincial capital to seek development.
"The second brother should call before he comes to the provincial capital so that someone can be arranged to pick them up."
The reason Liu Xiao'e was so worried was because Lin Guang and his wife would take Lin Dashan with them this time.
It has been three months since she came to the provincial capital, and the one person at home who cannot let go is probably Lin Dashan.
My wife went to a faraway place. Although he was at home, he was taken care of by people who ate, dressed and clothed him. But after all, he is not as considerate as his wife who takes care of her.
Since knowing that Lin Guang was coming to the provincial capital, Comrade Liu Xiaoe personally inquired in and around the compound to see who had a house for rent.
She wanted to rent a house in the provincial capital so that Lin Guang and his wife could live there.
Lin Dashan is here, but temporarily lives with Liu Xiao'e in the Gu family. After all, he is an in-law of the Gu family.
The Gu family has not been separated, so it is a bit inconvenient for Lin Guang and his wife to live in the Gu family.
The most important thing is the entire room in the Gu family villa.
Liu Xiao'e inquired for two days and found no clues about the property.
On this day, when she was about to go out again, she was stopped by Lin Shu.
"Mom, the housing supply in the provincial capital is tight. Whoever has extra houses for rent, please don't run out today. It will waste time and make people very tired.
My house over there has been built. The internal and external walls The surface has been painted, but it’s a little damp. But it doesn’t affect living. Why don’t we let the second brother and the others live in my new house temporarily?”
Liu Xiao’e was startled and looked around when she saw this. No one in the Gu family heard him and felt relieved.
"Is your kid short-sighted or what? That is a new house built with your money. How can you have the nerve to let your second brother and the others live in it first? What if your parents-in-law have any objections if they find out? What should I do?"
Lin Shu frowned slightly: "There are many rooms on the seventh floor over there. It's not like my second brother and the others are staying in the room I plan to live in. What does it matter?"
Liu Xiao'e waved her hands and firmly refused: "That's not possible. If you really can't find a house, let your second brother and the others live on the second floor of the noodle shop and squeeze in with your eldest brother and the others. We'll wait until we find a house later. It just so happens that they want to live in the provincial capital. When opening a store, you must first learn some experience from the boss."
"Brother Jiu will be back soon, right?"
When it comes to Gu Jiu, Lin Shu nodded inexplicably: "There were too many goods over there this time, and there was an accident with the shipment, which delayed it for a few days. Based on the itinerary, I should be back in the next few days."
"Hurry. Just come back. The house over there is almost finished, so he has to go and organize it."
Liu Xiao'e heard that that night, the father-in-law wanted to separate his sons.
Lin Shu and Gu Jiu's new house was built and the house was ready early. When the time comes to separate, they will at least have a house to live in.
At night, in the bedroom of the third room on the second floor.
Jiang Chaohong put the children to sleep, went to the bed and lay down, and pushed Gu Zhiyuan who was leaning on the bedside reading a book.
“Hey, during dinner tonight, I heard from Lin Shu that his father and his second brother’s family are coming to the provincial capital in a few days. Do you want to live at home again?”
Gu Zhiyuan didn't even raise his eyes, his eyes were glued to the book, "There are only three of her father, her second brother and her sister-in-law, and the house can be crowded enough to fit in."
Jiang Chaohong: "You don't know what's going on at home now? Her mother lives in the only guest room, and the other rooms all have owners."
Gu Zhiyuan frowned slightly, "My mother arranged this, you Don’t worry about it.”
“I don’t want to worry about it. It’s just that although the children don’t live at home, it’s not good to use their room as a guest room, right?”
Gu Zhi Yuan was slightly stunned, then simply put down the book and raised his head to look at him, "What exactly do you want to say tonight? Say it all at once."
Facing his suspicious gaze, Jiang Chaohong twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Hey, I haven't considered that we haven't separated yet. As a big family, we consume a lot of firewood, rice, oil and salt every day. Just think about the Lin family's parents, brother and sister-in-law living in this home. She must have to pay more for food for her younger siblings."
"We can't let our whole family follow her in frugal life just to entertain her family, right?"
