Chapter 12: : Planning to do business
Chapter 12: : Planning to do business
Liu Fen was obviously in a trance, immersed in his own world, even his sister-in-law did not greet him.
If it weren't for Xia Xiaolan's gauze on her forehead, Li Fengmei thought it was her sister-in-law Liu Fen who hit the pillar, and looked stupid and unresponsive. Putting his thoughts aside, he quickly put his son on the bed to help Liu Yong move things.
Liu Yong whispered that the Xia family were all big bastards, and simply told the story, including the three of them leaving, just in time for the three brothers of Xia Dajun to go home, and they left Dahe Village with punches and kicks.
"You make the bed in Westinghouse and let Xiaolan live in it."
Liu Yong meant that Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter were already living at home, so don't go back to Xia's house to get angry.
But he didn't say how long he would stay. Xia Xiaolan is well acquainted with human relations accidents and quickly showed loyalty to Li Fengmei: "I want to start a small business and save some money to settle down in the county. There are many opportunities in Anqing County, so that these people in the countryside will not chew their tongues."
I won't really stay at my uncle's house all the time.
My uncle must have taken them in sincerely, and my aunt Li Fengmei was not so careful. Xia Xiaolan is a mature person, but she knows that there will be friction between relatives for a long time. Anyway, she is only temporarily settled, and she is not afraid to explain a few more words to relieve her aunt.
Liu Yong also heard the subtext of Xia Xiaolan.
He didn't refute, what he thought was that Xia Xiaolan would not be so optimistic after suffering. Young people are always fearless, thinking that the outside world is simple. Yes, some people have made money by doing business in the past two years, but can Xia Xiaolan endure hardship?
Under the light, Xia Xiaolan found that her aunt's smile was much more real.
"You girl, the family doesn't talk about two things, if your uncle lets you and your wife live, you can rest assured!"
She is so generous because Liu Yong has been able to make money in recent months.
For a while, adding two more people to dinner will not be unsustainable.
Li Fengmei quickly cleaned up the house. People nowadays don't pay attention to it. The bed with straw underneath and mat on top is much better than the situation in Xia's old broken house. Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter were kicked out of Xia's house yesterday. They were running around at night and during the day, but they were really exhausted.
The mother and daughter washed their faces and lay down on the bed. Xia Xiaolan patted Liu Fen's hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life. We are both doing well, not steaming the steamed buns to fight for the breath. , Let others see!"
After a while, Xia Xiaolan thought her mother was asleep, but Liu Fen slowly replied:
"Mom wants you to live well by yourself, Xiaolan, don't blame Mom, I've made you wronged..."
Xia Xiaolan said a few words of comfort to her, and before she achieved results, any verbal guarantees were slightly pale. She was really tired, and Xia Xiaolan fell asleep as she spoke.
The next morning, Xia Xiaolan woke up in the smell of food.
Liu Fen got up a long time ago, and consciously took care of the kitchen work. Little cousin Taotao was in good spirits today. He was spinning around his aunt in the kitchen. Liu Fen took a bun from the steamer and gave him a steamed bun. Taotao was so hot that Taotao grinned, but he was reluctant to vomit it, and even flattered vaguely:
"My aunt's steamed buns are better than my mother's steamed buns."
Anqing County is the border between North and South, and the rest of the year will be an embarrassing area with cold winters and no heating. The eating habits are both north and south. For a few days, Liu's family eats sweet potato porridge with large white noodle buns.
Xia Xiaolan opened the box and looked through her clothes, but she was pleasantly surprised.
In the box, she found a handkerchief wrapped in a pile of zero tickets, a total of 18 yuan and 3 cents, which was the original owner's private money.
There are still a few letters on the bottom of the box, with bold and hot words...Wang Jianhua wrote to her. After seeing the nausea, Xia Xiaolan laughed. This person had boldly shown love to "Xia Xiaolan". Xia Ziyu's methods are really superb. Xia Xiaolan originally wanted to burn the letter, but after thinking about it, she put it back in the box. Maybe when it will come in handy?
As soon as the box was closed, Taotao entered the house.
"Auntie, Sister Xiaolan is awake!"
Taotao is very sticky to Xia Xiaolan, even if Xia Xiaolan used to have a bad temper, she couldn't hold back Xia Xiaolan's good-looking!
Children don't care what the mainstream aesthetic is. Their aesthetics of people and things are natural, not distorted, and more straightforward and clear... He Xiaolan is just good-looking, and she is also good-looking when she loses her temper.
Xia Xiaolan has never been in contact with children, but her mental age is not 18 years old. Seeing cute children, she has no resistance at all.
Reaching out and touching Taotaos forehead, Xia Xiaolan was very happy:
"The forehead is not hot, it seems that the fever is gone."
Taotao was stupid, thinking that his sister Xiaolan was so gentle to him, she was more like a stalker, Xia Xiaolan washed her face, he followed, and Xia Xiaolan combed her hair and didn't leave. Take a look at Xia Xiaolan and take a bite of the bun: "Sister Xiaolan, your head still hurts...you look so beautiful!"
Yeah, it looks really nice.
After picking up a bit, putting her hair into two braids, and changing into a clean and unpatched dress, Xia Xiaolan also felt that she was too good-looking.
After tidying up, Xia Xiaolan led Taotao to the kitchen.
Liu Fen looked no stranger again, I don't know what she thought in her heart.
"You will be able to eat in a while. Your uncle and aunt will go to see the rice, and you will be able to thresh the grain in two days."
While speaking, Liu Yong's voice sounded:
"Boiled sweet potato porridge?"
He took off the hat from his head and hung it on the wall. When he saw Xia Xiaolan, he smiled: "Are you awake? I told your mother not to wake you up. You are injured and need to be raised. A wild boar was caught in the next village. Your aunt bought meat. Gone."
There is no family in the countryside that is willing to eat meat.
Taotao's saliva almost came out.
Xia Xiaolan was naturally moved.
Liu Yong was originally a poor man, but now he has made some money and his hands are even looser. Before the grain returned to the warehouse, Liu Yong would not go out, so his bicycle was vacated:
"Can you ride?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded, she had actually ridden this kind of vintage bicycle. The appearance is not small enough, but it can carry goods. It was originally designed to transport the army. It can go bad roads, and it can carry hundreds of catties even with people and goods.
Liu Yong meant to let Xia Xiaolan ride a bicycle to do the egg business.
To start the business while the farming is busy, Liu Yong can think of other ways for her if she can't bear the hardship.
Li Fengmei really brought back two catties of pork and a stick bone. Three-finger fat is oily fat. People nowadays don't want to have lean meat. Everyone is short of oil and water in their stomachs. Fat meat is the most popular. Li Fengmei was also quite proud to grab such a good two pounds of meat.
The family gathered around the table to eat, and Li Fengmei felt better when he heard Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong discussing the details of doing business seriously.
"How do you transport your eggs to the city so that the bicycle must not break them?"
In 1983, there were no villages, let alone cement roads, and there were no asphalt roads. Cycling really went all the way to the city. If a person can bear it, the egg will break. With 10 broken eggs out of 100, Xia Xiaolan couldn't make any money at all.
Xia Xiaolan has been pondering this issue since yesterday.
There will be egg trays for long-distance transportation of eggs in later generations, and the roads are smooth, so they can be transported at any distance. She is now in poor conditions and naturally can't get any plastic egg trays, but Xia Xiaolan has other alternatives.
"Use reed rope to weave small baskets the size of an egg. Put the eggs inside one by one and connect them in a string."
Fill the gap with chopped wheat stalks, straw, etc., which should replace the effect of shock-proof foam.
Liu Fen was very excited, "I can make up, you tell me it will do."
