Saying goodbye to Su Yuanhang and his colleagues, Ye Fan used the public phone at the station to call Chen Xiaohui and asked her to go to his house to see if the car had been rented.
When the train arrived at the station, Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiqin to follow the train back. She and several brothers from the Yu family kept the more expensive items such as bell bottoms, skirts, leather shoes and sunglasses, and sent them directly to Ye Fan's home. Considering that most of the thieves were male, and men didn't like stealing dresses and stockings, they were placed in the house that Wen Tao bought. It didn't matter if the Yu family brothers couldn't live in them.
The bus arrived at the station in the morning, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon by the time Ye Fan got home. Seeing Geng Zhiye, Ye Fan exclaimed: "Are you at home?"
"Look how tired you are." Geng Zhiye frowned and said, "Hurry up and rest, and leave the rest to me."
Ye Fan couldn't help but ask: "No, isn't it the Lantern Festival today? Don't you have to celebrate the festival with your comrades in the army?"
Geng Zhiye: "I will leave in a moment."
"Then you can help me sort it out and put it away?" Ye Fan really couldn't hold it anymore and didn't hold on.
Geng Zhiye asked the brothers of the Yu family to eat something while he, Geng Zhiqin, and Geng Huihui packed up the goods piled in the yard.
Dabao and Erbao went over to help. Geng Zhiye asked them to wait aside, waiting for him to separate the things, and then let the two children move into the house.
Aunt Li was disturbed by the naughty child and had no time to practice, so she came to help: "Dabao, how can you sell so many things?"
Geng Zhiye: "Is there a way to trouble you?"
The reason why Aunt Li was so active was because she thought that her uncle's family also had an idle member of society, the son of Aunt Qian who helped Ye Fan sell popsicles last summer.
Aunt Qian’s son thought that one-cent and two-cent popsicles were not profitable, so Aunt Qian decided to do it herself. Except for rainy and cloudy days, Aunt Qian earned 70 or 80 yuan after working for more than 20 days, which shocked the whole family.
The idle member of society regretted it very much and asked his mother to rest at home so that he would have to work harder if such a thing happened again.
It was rare for a idle son to be willing to help, so Aunt Qian asked her sister-in-law to keep an eye on Ye Fan's family.
Ye Fan was not at home these days, so Aunt Li asked Yu Wen what Tao Ye Fan was doing. Yu Wentao said that he would go south to buy goods. Aunt Li asked Ye Fan if she wanted someone else to sell it for her. Yu Wentao got upset when Ye Fan was mentioned because Ye Fan didn't allow her to practice, so she asked Aunt Li to ask herself.
After hearing this, Aunt Li asked: "What can we do?"
Geng Zhiye smiled bitterly: "How could I know? You can ask again after she has rested."
The Yu brothers were so smelly that they didn't want to eat. Each of them drank half a bowl of rice soup before going home.
Geng Zhiqin knew that her sister-in-law was home today because she received a notification from Chen Xiaohui. Last night Zhang Xiaoming went to Yujiacun. Geng Zhiqin was afraid that her uncle and cousins would be worried, so she asked Zhang Xiaoming to tell them that everything went well.
This morning, uncle Yu and Zhang Xiaoming went to the city to sell chicken, fish, meat, eggs and vegetables. After selling, they went directly to Ye Fan's house and waited to pick up their nephews.
Zhang Xiaoming and Uncle Yu drove the six people back to the village. Aunt Li waited for the six people to go out and then asked Geng Zhiye: "Should we ask your cousins to help sell it?"
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "I really don't know. Aunt Li, I heard that you have become obsessed with Qigong recently. Why don't you practice it?"
Aunt Li was so angry that she wanted to throw the things in her hands away: "You also said that it was not Dabao's mother's idea. As soon as she saw us getting together, she asked the children to set off firecrackers. It almost scared my old lady to death!"
Geng Zhiqin: "You are not afraid even if your granddaughter shoots a cannon on your head. How can my sister-in-law scare you to death?"
Aunt Li pretended not to hear and said to Geng Zhiye: "Actually, qigong works, and my body is obviously better than before. Dad Dabao, the army——"
"Stop it!" Geng Zhiye quickly interrupted, "Xiaoqin, what time is it?"
Geng Zhiqin also bought a watch by himself after making money. He raised his hand and looked at it, "It's half past three? It's so fast."
Geng Zhiye urged them to clean up quickly.
Aunt Li didn't feel comfortable chatting with him.
Geng Zhiye cleaned up and washed his hands before driving back to the army, but before leaving, his car circled around to scare anyone with evil intentions.
The next morning, Aunt Li came to Ye Fan's house for dinner with a bowl. Ye Fan had already learned from Geng Zhiqin that the old lady might want to get goods from her: "Aunt Li, do you also want to make some pocket money?"
Aunt Li asked: "Do you know? It's not me, it's my useless nephew."
Ye Fan: "It's not that I'm stingy. I can't do it now. All I buy are spring and summer clothes. It's hard to sell them at this time. If I take them out now and others see them and get them, then I'll still be able to sell these things." To whom?”
The weather after the new year is no warmer than before. Aunt Li heard from the neighbors that there will be snow for a few days, and no one will want cool clothes: "Then why does the clothing factory produce summer clothes so early?"
Ye Fan: "It's warmer in Yangcheng now than in March here. People wear clothes from March and April in the second month of the lunar calendar, and in the third month of the lunar calendar, they have to wear summer shorts, short sleeves and pull-ups."
Aunt Li understood: "Then why don't you wait a few days before going?"
Yu Wentao thought she didn't understand anything, so she said angrily: "Can't you go to school?"
Aunt Li suddenly realized: "You can tell me when the weather gets warmer. By the way, how to sell it?"
Ye Fan: "I matched the goods well and sold them for two yuan a day."
Aunt Li couldn't help but frown, why hadn't she made money selling popsicles yet?
Seeing this, Ye Fan smiled and said, "I haven't finished yet. For example, the price I gave you for the skirt I approved is four and a half yuan. If you can sell it for five yuan, or even six yuan, the extra fifty cents or one yuan will be given to you." All the money belongs to you. I will go to department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives another day to see their prices. The prices I give you will definitely be cheaper than those in supply and marketing cooperatives and stores.”
Aunt Li calculated that she could earn 50 cents from a dress, and if she sold two of them a day, plus the money given by Ye Fan, she could sell other small items as she pleased. Even if she didn't make a penny, selling them twenty days a month would still be higher than the salary of a temporary worker. ”
"Is it settled?" Aunt Li was worried that she would regret it.
Ye Fan nodded.
Aunt Li sent the bowl home and went to her sister-in-law's house.
Aunt Qian's house is far away from Ye Fan's house, and Aunt Li has to pass through many houses to get to her sister-in-law's house. By the time she arrived at her sister-in-law's house, many people knew that Ye Fan needed someone to help her sell goods.
The neighbor to the west of Ye Fan's house came to ask Ye Fan if he wanted a short-term job.
Yu Wentao: "You also plan to earn some pocket money?"
The uncle next door laughed and said, "My son's salary is low, and my daughter-in-law is a temporary worker. She works hard for a month and doesn't make much money. She wants to try it on the weekend."
Ye Fan nodded: "Okay. I'll tell Aunt Li later and let her nephew and my cousins go to Dongcheng or South Gate. Your daughter-in-law works hard, so let her, Xiaoqin, and my natal family The sisters sell it in a nearby park.”
The uncle next door thanked him immediately.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet. You, Aunt Li, and my mother-in-law usually stay around to see other people when they have nothing to do. I'm worried that thieves will find out and come over. Although Xiaoqin and I go to sleep in the back at night , but how can we defeat a strong male thief?”
The man next door said without thinking: "We will keep an eye on the surroundings from now on."
Ye Fan was relieved.
Yu Wentao muttered: "You will really find something for me to do."
Ye Fan pretended not to hear, thinking, otherwise, why would I have let you go to the park to go crazy?
In mid-March in Yangchun, Geng Zhiye, who had been busy for most of the year, was on vacation. Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye to go shopping with her. Ye Fan visited the shops and supply and marketing cooperatives in Forty-Nine City. Ye Fan found out the market conditions and gave the prices she wrote down to Geng Zhiye. The next day, Ye Fan went to class, and Geng Zhiye took his stepmother to divide the packages and set prices.
On the morning of the last Sunday in March, three men and three women from Yujiacun and eight people from the alley, Zhang Xiaoming and his younger sister, plus Geng Zhiqin and Chen Xiaohui, set out to sell things in groups of two and one.
Men sell sunglasses, bell-bottom pants and leather shoes, while women want skirts, purses, stockings, sandals and other small items.
Originally, these people were going to separate, but Ye Fan reminded them that the streets were in chaos, so they did not dare to act alone. The neighbors didn't know where to buy it, so Ye Fan told them to go to scenic spots or parks or in front of the university.
This kind of behavior can be classified as "speculation". Several working neighbors are worried that they will lose their jobs if they are caught. Ye Fan said that no matter who asked, they said they got the goods from the special economic zone.
At the beginning of the year, household responsibility system was fully promoted nationwide. This news shows that the higher authorities attach great importance to reform and opening up, so no one is making trouble at this juncture.
When the neighbors saw Ye Fan's determined tone, they thought of her father's high position and thought that Ye Fan had opened up the connections above, so they were no longer afraid.
When people from the subdistrict office saw them, they came up and asked where the things came from. There was no fear when they answered. The grassroots cadres thought that the goods in the special economic zone could be transported to the capital for sale, so they did not hold them back. Young grassroots cadres also buy pairs of leather shoes, bags, and skirts.
A pair of men's leather shoes costs twenty-four and five in a department store, but the asking price here is only twenty-three, and I even offered them twenty-one, so I must buy them.
In this period, family workshops and private enterprises did not dare to engage in fraud. Many things were even better than those of state-owned enterprises, otherwise they would not be able to compete with state-owned enterprises, but they were sold cheaper than state-owned units, so everyone has not set before the sun sets. Come to Ye Fan's house to pay.
Ye Fan gave them the extra money and gave each of them two yuan as hard work fee.
Aunt Qian's son took Yu Wentao's niece to three places a day. The free-spirited young man from society had the courage to ask for high prices and earned more than 20 yuan.
Seeing that Ye Fan kept his word no matter how much he earned, he immediately asked: "Sister Ye, will you give me so many goods tomorrow?"
Ye Fan: "Who will you sell to tomorrow Monday?"
The social youth was stunned for a moment, "No one will buy on Monday?"
Ye Fan: "Who goes to the park on Monday? There are people in the park at night and it's pitch black. How can you sell it? I can give it to you. If it takes three days to sell out, I'll only give you two yuan as a hard-earned fee."
The young people in the society understood: "I sold out the package of goods today in half a day, and you will give me two yuan as hard work?"
Ye Fan nodded.
"Then give me a pack. I'll sell it out in a week and I won't mind if you give me less."
Ye Fan nodded, "I'll give it to you tomorrow morning." Then he asked the six people in Yujia Village, "Are you going to stay or take the car back later?"
The six of them were all married and were worried about their family, so they asked Ye Fan to keep it for them and come over on the weekend. It happened that Zhang Xiaoming hadn't entered the village yet, and Uncle Yu was also at Ye Fan's house, so the two of them drove the six people back.
Nowadays, there are many people selling vegetables and meat, and Zhang Xiaoming is not making as much money as before. Now only Ye Fan's family sells Western-style clothing at a stall, which is as popular as selling pork two years ago. Ye Fan went to Dong Ying's house and asked Dong Ying if she wanted to ask Zhang Xiaoming to sell clothing in the future.
Zhang Xiaoming worked very hard last year. Now that the debt has been paid off, Zhang Xiaoming can earn enough money to support the family. Her salary is considered to be a net win. Considering that Zhang Xiaoming is often at home, she can relax, so she said she would discuss it with Zhang Xiaoming later. .
Before he had a wife, Zhang Xiaoming could live anywhere at night. Now that he has moved to a new home and is separated from his children, Zhang Xiaoming does not want to go to Yujiacun every night and wait for the next morning to buy goods.
At noon the next day, Zhang Xiaoming went home for dinner. Dong Ying mentioned it to him and he agreed. When he arrived at Yujiacun in the evening, Zhang Xiaoming said that tomorrow would be his last time selling vegetables.
Even if Zhang Xiaoming didn't explain, Uncle Yu knew why. In the past, Zhang Xiaoming could split more than ten yuan a day, but now he and Ye Fan could split more than ten yuan. If Zhang Xiaoming quits, a market will be freed up, and the Yu family can make more money.
Zhang Xiaoming took a day off at home to repair the car, and went to Ye Fan's house the next morning. The price Ye Fan gave Zhang Xiaoming was the wholesale price minus the toll and fare. Zhang Xiaoming was stunned when he saw the price: "If you sell all one pack, you can earn half of it?"
Ye Fan: "Forty percent of the net profit, give me half, and you still have 20 percent."
Zhang Xiaoming: "That's not a lot."
Ye Fan shook his head: "You think it's a lot because you set up a stall. If you rent a store, excluding the usual water, electricity and labor wages, you will still earn 20% without giving it to me."
< br>
“Is the store so expensive?”
Ye Fan: "It's cheap now, but who dares to rent to you? In the future, the market will be completely liberalized and everyone will dare to do it. Good stores will be scarce, so stores will definitely be expensive."
"At that time, if there are too many stalls, it will not be as profitable as now?"
Ye Fan nodded: "So we have to make money before others dare to do it. From now on, there will be as many people selling clothes as there are people selling eggs and vegetables in the city, so we will do something else. By the way, we are not allowed to tell anyone about this price. Including Dong Ying.”
Zhang Xiaoming: "She can figure it out even if I don't tell her."
Ye Fan: "If you don't say she doesn't know how much, if her sister-in-law asks, she doesn't have to feel ashamed when she says she doesn't know."
Zhang Xiaoming: "Then don't tell me the wholesale price in the future, just tell me how much it costs."
Ye Fan reminded him to go to the places where he used to sell vegetables and meat. The citizens in those places knew him and would help him if any gangsters caused trouble.
Zhang Xiaoming has been running around selling vegetables and popsicles in the past few years, and he knows very well where there are crowds of people on weekdays. Aunt Qian's son, a chicken thief, saw Zhang Xiaoming's car and asked Zhang Xiaoming to give him a ride, and then followed Zhang Xiaoming to sell things.
They were all neighbors, so Zhang Xiaoming couldn't say anything, so he just let him set up a stall with him.
Zhang Xiaoming brought two bags, and Aunt Qian's son also brought two bags. He thought that one sheep was to be chased away, and two sheep were to be herded. Therefore, the two big men not only have polyester bell-bottom pants in front of them, but also "three-rib" high heels.
The cost of a pair of bell-bottom pants is less than ten yuan, while Aunt Qian’s son costs twenty. The price Ye Fan gave him for the high heels was twenty, and he opened his mouth and it was twenty-five.
Zhang Xiaoming was so frightened by him that he didn't dare to speak. In the end, the counteroffer was 22 for high heels and 16 for trousers, and the customer was very happy.
Wei Jianshe thought Zhang Xiaoming was unhappy, so he said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Ming, I will help you sell when customers come later. Not to mention, this place you found is really good. There are a group of uncles and aunts dancing during the day on weekdays. Still here Old men and women know how to live, unlike us who think about practicing qigong every day.”
Zhang Xiaoming said to himself, I know how you make more than 20 yuan a day.
"You want such a high price, aren't you afraid that people will go back to the store and find out it's too expensive and ask you to refund it?"
Wei Jianshe: "We are from Yangcheng, right? We can't find it in a store? There is no shipping fee to get it from so far away? Do you think people buy our clothes and shoes? What they buy is that our clothes are from Yangcheng, and they are not the same as Xiangjiang Stars Dressed the same.”
Zhang Xiaoming didn't know how to refute.
Wei Jianshe added: "The city has opened a tailor shop for us unemployed young people. A pair of pants costs ten yuan. We can do whatever we want. These rich people must know, why don't they do it? It's not like they don't have our clothes." Dress stylishly and speak with dignity.”
Zhang Xiaoming has learned a lot.
Wei Jianshe dared to ask for the price, but he didn’t know where there were crowds of people. Business was good thanks to weekends. He wanted to stick to Zhang Xiaoming when he opened on weekdays, so he didn't coax Zhang Xiaoming. Two more portrait actors came. Wei Jianshe stood next to Zhang Xiaoming and let them look at his sunglasses and stockings.
They had to eat at noon, and there was no one idle on the park street, so Zhang Xiaoming took Wei Jianshe back.
In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoming changed places again. At first there was no one there, but at about four o'clock, a group of people came.
Wei Jianshe's eyes shone brightly, and he shouted "sisters, sisters, brothers, brothers, uncles, aunts, handsome men and beautiful women", as if his mouth was covered with honey, and no one who came close would leave empty-handed.
There were a few unsightly trinkets that had been picked over and bumped by the car, and Wei Jianshe gave them to whoever had the most money.
As the sun set, the two of them sold all four bags.
Zhang Xiaoming went back to pay the bill, and Ye Fan counted the money. He muttered to the side: "Wei Jianshe is really good at business. I used to see him fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. The street aunt often reported it to his mother. I thought this guy was going to die." ”
Ye Fan: "The job assigned to him by the street is twenty yuan a month, but he doesn't like it."
Zhang Xiaoming nodded.
Ye Fan gave him a wad of money.
At a glance, Zhang Xiaoming realized that he made more money than selling vegetables and meat. "I don't know where to sell them tomorrow." Ye Fan: "I'm going to the two places I went to today. They told the neighbors, relatives and friends that they will be selling in the next week." If someone comes to you to buy it, if it doesn’t sell well at the weekend, then change the place.”
Zhang Xiaoming kept this in mind. The next day, he was blocked by Wei Jianshe again, and Zhang Xiaoming asked him to get in the car with a look of helplessness. When Wei Jianshe saw that he was going to the place where he went up yesterday, he asked: "Is there anyone else buying?"
Zhang Xiaoming: "Try it. We don't just work for three or two days. There is no need to change one place. If it doesn't sell well these days, just wait for the weekend. No one will buy it on the weekend."
Wei Jianshe nodded: "It's still convenient to have a car. You can move anytime you want. But Brother Xiao Ming, I didn't see it. You know a lot."
Zhang Xiaoming wanted to say what Ye Fan taught him, but he was afraid that the scheming boy would fool him if he found out. "I've been working for several years, and I know more than you even if I learn a little bit in a year." He paused, "I just don't have the mouth you have." Say.”
"Then I will be responsible for selling, and you will be responsible for finding a place." Wei Jianshe made the decision unilaterally, regardless of whether Zhang Xiaoming agreed or not.
More than a dozen people help Ye Fan sell things, and every weekend, the entire city is full of her people, so much so that the goods are out of stock in mid-May. Ye Fan sent a telegram to Su Yuanhang, and Su Yuanhang responded quickly and asked Ye Fan to make a list for him. He promised that there were many kinds of goods and they were cheap, and she could load them when she came.
Ye Fan looked at the class schedule and took three days off. He would set off on Saturday afternoon, May 21, and arrive in Hangzhou on Sunday night. Ye Fan brought all the money he had earned recently and her and her father's capital, and loaded two cars in Hangzhou to load one car in Yongcheng. The state-owned enterprises in Hangzhou and the small workshops in Yongcheng were very happy.
This time, Ye Fan also brought six brothers from Yujia Village back and forth for four days, and each of them received ten yuan as labor expenses. Ye Fan had to go to class and had no time to clean up, so she asked her six brothers to stay for two days to help her mother-in-law sort and put them away, and she gave each of them ten yuan as hard work fee.
These six people usually made a lot of money by helping Ye Fan sell goods. They wanted to buy a car a few days ago. Ye Fan advised them to save for another six months and open two stores by the end of the year.
Yujia Village was brought up by Ye Fan, so the villagers regarded her words as an edict, and Ye Fan never let them work in vain. They all felt that Ye Fan was kind and it was hard to ask for money again.
Ye Fan said that if she just did it once or twice, she would forget it, and she might have to trouble them more often in the future. If they didn't charge her, she would find someone else.
The six old men rarely did fine work, and they were at a loss at first. They worked for a long time to figure out how to place them. When Ye Fan came back from school on Saturday evening, he saw that the goods in the room were neater than those on the counters of department stores.
In the evening, the neighbors who helped Ye Fan sell goods came to her house to pick up goods.
Ye Fan said: "I thought about it, it's very troublesome for you to pay me every day, how about I give it to you at the wholesale price?"
Wei Jianshe was the first to shake his head: "Sister Ye, to tell you the truth, we do know that we don't make as much as you do now, but if you give us two yuan each time, even if we sell ten packs a month and make no profit, we still have twenty Yuan. If we sell it ourselves, no matter how good it is, it’s still a bit unreliable.”
Ye Fan looked at the daughter-in-law of the uncle next door: "You think so too?"
"This matter, it's easy to be labeled as speculation. We all feel that it is practical to make a little money with you." The implication is that if the sky falls, you will hold it up. We don’t have a husband with a bright future and a father with a bright eye to back us up.
Ye Fan really finds it troublesome to settle accounts every day. After all, she has to take care of two majors. Although she can pass the computer major with or without studying, she still has to go over and see the teaching progress, otherwise she can go back and write down what she learned in her previous life so that the professor can help her. Crazy.
Ye Fan is not afraid of the big tree attracting the wind, but she is afraid of being regarded as a lunatic.
"Then let's do this for now." Ye Fan looked at Wei Jianshe, "If you later want to get the goods yourself or ask me to wholesale, just tell me directly. Sister, if you let this business go, you can do other things."
Wei Jianshe touched his nose, wondering if he was that restless, with so many people staring at him, "We all know that my sister is great. But even if we engage in wholesale, we will not take away my sister's business."
Ye Fan: "Should I take it away now or tomorrow morning?"
Wei Jianshe: "Now. We want to see what this time."
"I won't let you down." Ye Fan took them to the south room with a flashlight and pulled out a bag of dresses of various colors and lengths.
Then Ye Fan took out another pack and said, "This may not be easy to sell. If I can sell it, I feel like I can make ten yuan per order."
Wei Jianshe was excited: "Let me take a look." When he opened it, Wei Jianshe's eyes were as wide as bells, "A suit?"
Ye Fan nodded: "It is cut according to the styles of Hong Kong City celebrities. By the way, there is also a pack of women's suits. Have you seen Hong Kong City TV? The same style as the lesbians in the office building."
Because Ye Fan had talked about innovation before, but it had only been a few years since the reform and opening up, and the Chinese people had limited knowledge and could not innovate. When Su Yuanhang saw it, he asked if he could imitate it.
Ye Fan said yes, but still suggested that he go back and tell the garment factory to make slight changes.
Su Yuanhang told her to change her ways, not just copy them.
Ye Fan tried one set, and both Su Yuanhang and the staff at the clothing factory said it looked better than the original version, so Ye Fan decided to get one pack each for men and women.
Ye Fan said: "Jianshe, you can give it a try."
Wei Jianshe was wearing short sleeves and immediately put on his suit jacket after hearing this. The neighbors couldn't help but laugh, saying that he didn't look like a prince even wearing a dragon robe.
Ye Fan picked a young female neighbor and said, "Will you go out with Jianshe tomorrow?"
Suits are very expensive, and no one except leaders of state-owned enterprises and people who are about to get married is willing to buy them. The female neighbor wanted to sell fashionable skirts, leather shoes and trinkets, but she couldn't refuse Ye Fan directly, so she looked embarrassed.
Wei Jianshe wanted to go with Zhang Xiaoming, because Zhang Xiaoming was kind, and he helped Zhang Xiaoming sell the items after he sold them. Zhang Xiaoming complained unhappily and took him with him the next day.
Where can I find such a good partner?
Wei Jianshe said that he would give Zhang Xiaoming women's clothes and men's clothes, and then give each of them a bag of small items.
Ye Fan actually wanted to ask Zhang Xiaoming to sell it, but he was worried that he would be stupid and sell a set in ten days, so he decided to choose a young man. I didn't expect that she and Chen Xiaohui had the same moral character.
Ye Fan dares to do whatever he wants, so who will help Ye Fan sell things? After figuring it out, Ye Fan no longer forced or persuaded, and gave Wei Jianshe four packages.
Ye Fan asked Dabao to bring over the book, and she wrote down the names of the people corresponding to the prices on the woven bag.
After the neighbors left, one third of the room was empty. Yu Wentao couldn't help but said: "Save some for my nephew."
Geng Zhiqin: "There are three full rooms in the back. Are you afraid that they won't have anything to sell?" Then he said, "Sister-in-law, Huihui and I are going to live in the back."
Ye Fan: "Bring a kitchen knife, scissors and a flashlight."
Geng Zhiqin smiled and said: "The thief dare not come."
Ye Fan was curious: "What's wrong?"
Erbao took his mother's hand and explained that a few days ago, a thief was discovered by Aunt Li as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley. Aunt Li asked people to chase him and call the police.
At that time, Ye Fan was in the south. There was no goods at home, and the idle people nearby were not wandering around. They were all waiting for her at home, and she was thinking about where to sell the goods. When they heard that there was a thief, these people ran out to deal with the thief and gave him a verbal education for half an hour. The police arrived only two kilometers away. When the thief saw the policeman as if he were a relative, he cried and shouted and threw himself at the policeman. The policeman was so frightened that he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
It was noon that day, and the children were all playing in the alley. Erbao was very puzzled when he saw this scene, shouldn't thieves be most afraid of the police?
Erbao still hasn’t figured it out and couldn’t help but ask his mother if the police were relatives of the thief, and then complained about how slow the police were in dispatching police.
Ye Fan laughed: "You just need to know that if other thieves knew what happened to him, they would rather beg than come to steal from us."
Erbao looked at grandma, since when did you two have such a tacit understanding?
Yu Wentao: "You will understand when you grow up."
"Am I still young?" Erbao asked.
Ye Fan: "Eleven-year-old girl, how old do you think you are? Have you washed your face? Have you brushed your teeth?"
Dabao: "Mom, I washed it, but the second baby hasn't washed it yet. During the few days when you were not at home, the second baby hid whenever he could. I have never seen a girl who is less hygienic than her."
Erbao ran over and told his brother to shut up.
Dabao: "Shut up, you can prove it to me."
"Prove it, prove it!" Erbao went to wash her face and brush her teeth, but didn't see her brother's face full of smiles.
Ye Fan waved his hand to Dabao, who jumped back to the house.
After Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui left, Ye Fan locked the door and placed several glass bottles behind the door and beside the wall. The next morning, Ye Fan put the intact bottle into the treasure house. Dabao asked: "If there is no thief, why let him go?"
Ye Fan: "The reason why your mother has not been cheated in all these years in the world is not because of her cleverness, nor because of your grandpa and your father, but because of her prudence."
Dabao understood: "Mom, do you want me to help you sell clothes?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "No need. Mom won't go either. You and Erbao will read with mom. Huihui won't go either. Your sister-in-law, you can go if you want."
Dabao: "My sister-in-law will definitely not go."
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows: "Are you dating someone?"
Dabao nodded repeatedly.
Yu Wentao came out of the kitchen and heard: "How did you know that your sister-in-law is going on a date today?"
Dabao: "I saw her talking to Xiao Liu for a long time after school yesterday, and they must have discussed where to go to play today."
Ye Fan asked: "Does Xiao Liu know that you call him Xiao Liu?"
You must not know that. Dabao gets annoyed when he thinks of "Xiao Liu". He is actually his math teacher and asks him to get up every day to answer questions, making him seem to take him seriously. Xiao Liu also came from the student days. Don’t you know that students hate answering questions the most?
Xiao Liu didn't know that at that time, he thought it was an honor to get up and answer questions.
Dabao said: "I will definitely call him Teacher Liu in front of him."
Ye Fan touched his head: "Have you found out how many members of Xiao Liu's family there are?"
Originally, this task was given to Geng Zhiye, who then delegated it to Cheng Zhenhua. However, the people Cheng Zhenhua knew were either in government agencies or in the army. His wife asked Dong Ying's third sister-in-law, but Dong Ying's third sister-in-law was not a teacher at Dabao School, so there was no one. Meet Liu Ning.
Geng Zhiqin could ask directly, but the man might not answer honestly. Ye Fan handed the matter over to Dabao.
Dabao nodded: "I will stand up to my father and I."
"Don't be poor." Ye Fan glanced at him to see if Er Bao was up.
Dabao said while washing his face in the yard: "My parents are ordinary workers, two older sisters and one younger sister. One older sister went to the countryside and stayed in the countryside. The other older sister married a second-married man, and the older sister went to a medical school. My family is in a large courtyard, and he is in a large courtyard." The flying golden phoenix”
Ye Fan's vision went dark and he almost fainted.
Yu Wentao frowned.
Dabao wiped his face and saw that the two of them were silent and looked like the sky had fallen. He couldn't help asking: "Are the people in the courtyard so bad? Xiaozhi's partner is quite good. He has an iron rice bowl and even takes care of Xiaozhi on weekends. Sister Zhi sells clothes.”
Zhang Xiaozhi got married on May 1st and moved to the Zhang family after the marriage. As before, she paid fifteen yuan to the family every month. Uncle Zhang bought the rice, noodles, oil and salt. Uncle Zhang is also very happy, because this son-in-law is more sensible than his second son and smarter than his eldest son, so he feels comfortable living with him. The medicine was almost finished a few days ago. Uncle Zhang said that someone would take the medicine for him during the lunch break. Uncle Zhang saw the new medicine when he got off work in the afternoon.
Uncle Zhang talked to Yu Wentao, and Dabao heard a few words from the two of them. The half-grown boy wrote to his cousin to reassure Little Brother Zhang that everything was fine at home. He sighed like a little adult, Sister Xiaozhi. It's also true that good things come after many hardships.
Ye Fan sighed: "Although Zhang Xiaozhi's partner is also the third child in his family, his four brothers have no sisters."
Dabao: "What's wrong with having sisters?"
"A sister is equal to a mother-in-law. He is the only child in his family, so he cannot live in our house. If your grandma gives the house to your sister-in-law, her father-in-law and mother-in-law will come with her. If you don't give your sister-in-law a house, your sister-in-law will have to rent a house. "The more Ye Fan talked, the more headache he got, "Aunt Yu, your daughter, you can do whatever you want."
Yu Wentao complained: "When I bought the house, I told you to write your name, so as to avoid these things in the future. If you say it's okay, no one will know if I don't. There are so many people in the real estate bureau during the transfer, how could they not find out if they want to inquire. The old lady who sold the house to our family was also careless. Maybe she would tell the neighbors that I had bought the house as soon as we got home.”
Ye Fan was speechless. She had no good solution for this matter. Beating the couple might only make the relationship between the two of them better: "Then - transfer the ownership another day? I'll pay the handling fee."
Yu Wentao: "Let me ask Xiaoqin. She wants to say that they don't know she owns a house, and she agrees to transfer it. You can go directly to the housing management bureau after class tomorrow morning."
Dabao hurriedly said: "Mom, you have never met Xiao Liu. Grandma, you have only met him once. You two know that he is with my sister-in-law because she has a house? He is my teacher, and I know him better than you two. He is not such a person. Don’t think too badly of him!”
Ye Fan asked: "Do you know him, his parents and sisters? Dabao, you often say that you and Erbao are different. The same person can support all kinds of people. Just like the Zhang family, there are three brothers with three different personalities. The two sisters don't Likewise, Xiaozhi is very clear-headed in finding a partner, and Xiaofen would rather suffer the consequences of marrying her husband. Can you guarantee that his sister is not like Wang Aihe?”
Dabao can't guarantee it.
Erbao: "Brother, listen to mom and grandma. Teacher Liu is not that kind of person, so mom just gave the house to my sister--"
Yu Wentao interrupted: "I saved the money for your sister-in-law, and the house is in your mother's name. From now on, if your aunt doesn't have a house for her to live in, she can live there until she grows old, but I can't give it to her."
Nowadays, the house price in the capital is 210 square meters, and the welfare house is half-sold and half-free, which is far lower than the market price. Thinking of this, Ye Fan said: "It's okay to buy a unit house like Zhang Xiaojun. I heard from my classmates that a house of 60 square meters, two It has a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and two large balconies. You can get it for a few thousand yuan.”
Dabao was disgusted: "Isn't it too young?"
Ye Fan: "Your sister-in-law can only have one child. One adult room and one child's room are just right."
These days, welfare houses can be rented for just a few cents per square meter, and a 60-square-meter house in an excellent location can be purchased for less than RMB 5,000. Yu Wentao was willing to exchange this money for her daughter's future: "That's it. Call Xiaoqin later and ask if there is any welfare housing in the work unit."
After the words fell, Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui opened the door and came in. Seeing people of all ages standing in the courtyard, Geng Huihui was surprised: "What happened?"
Ye Fan: "It's okay. I'm watching Dabao and Erbao washing their faces and brushing their teeth. What do you two want to eat in the morning?"
Geng Huihui: “Youtiao?”
Ye Fan took out two dollars, and Geng Huihui took the money and ran out. Ye Fan winked at Dabao, who scooped up a piece of Maxamin and rubbed his face while chasing her cousin. Erbao said, "Mom, I'll brush my teeth when I get back." Then she went after her cousin.
Geng Zhiqin looked at the two of them and asked tentatively: "You have something to tell me?"
Ye Fan looked at her mother-in-law, tell her about your house first.
Yu Wentao first said that she wouldn't be able to use her house for the time being, so she might as well leave it to Ye Fan to deal with it. Geng Zhiqin asked without thinking: "Did my cousins say something?"
Yu Wentao shook his head: "They didn't say anything."
Geng Zhiqin sneered: "Is that my cousin's husband or his family?"
"I'm asking you what you think now. Don't talk about it." Yu Wentao said.
Geng Zhiqin: "Go ahead. It will save them from worrying about you. I don't know what's wrong. My aunt has no biological son, and my nephews have all run away. Fortunately, you don't have any nephews."
Yu Wentao didn't bother to explain: "Transfer tomorrow? You go back and ask if the unit has a house, and then ask how much it costs. When you and Xiao Liu get married, I will buy a two-bedroom apartment. I will pay the difference."
Geng Zhiqin frowned: "Why do you suddenly involve me? I'm not engaged yet, what kind of marriage will I get?"
Ye Fan: "Let me ask you questions now. Later, your mother will set aside the money and deposit the rest in the bank. Our family has been too conspicuous recently, so we cannot leave money at home. Just because no one dares to steal it does not mean that no one dares to rob it."
