90s Little Struggle

Chapter 75 Opening

The store that Zhao Youzhen was interested in originally sold hardware. The boss thought that there were three hardware stores in the town. Their business was not doing well and they had outside channels, so he wanted to sell the house to prepare capital for development outside.

Therefore, after completing various procedures, you can move in with a little tidying up.

And Uncle Zhao and the others really couldn't find a suitable storefront in the town, so they could only do business in Zhao Youzhen's storefront in the end.

Although Wu Julan didn't say anything, she was still worried that the opening of the noodle shop would affect her family's business.

It was only later that she discovered that she had indeed sold fewer dumplings, but her income was a little more than usual.

After thinking about it again, I understand that the second sister-in-law and the others sell more noodles, which means that there are more kinds of braised meat to be used, and the family's income will also be more.

To be honest, the dumpling business is not good, and they really don't feel particularly distressed.

The main reason is that it is really troublesome to roll the dumpling wrappers, and she feels sorry for her man who has to get up at three o'clock to knead the dough.

Of course, the weather is cold now, so you can knead the dough before going to bed at night, so you can wake up later in the morning.

Now knowing that their noodle shop will not affect their own business, Wu Julan feels more at ease.

Zhao Laosi also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, his wife's belly is getting bigger now, it is a good thing for her to sell less dumplings, not only can she wake up later in the morning, but she can also rest more.

The time of stability is fleeting, and it will be the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

After various exams, the school is finally closed.

The teachers of each subject are very responsible, and they take turns leaving a lot of homework for the students.

In the end, the head teacher assigned the homework and asked the students to come to get their report cards the day after tomorrow, and that's how school ended.

Xu Xinning leaned forward: "My brother called last night and said he was coming to spend the New Year with my grandparents. Do you have anything to buy? I can ask him to bring it over for us."

When Xiao Hong thought that the creditor was coming, she became depressed again because she could sleep in and get better.

Xiao Fang smiled and refused: "There is nothing I want."

Xiao Hong sighed: "That's right, I don't even know what's in the provincial capital, how can he bring it?"

"It's because I didn't think carefully." Xu Xinning also scratched his head, and his bright eyes fell on Xiao Fang: "Why don't we go for a stroll in the city tomorrow?"

Xiao Fang felt a little embarrassed by him, so she simply looked at Xiao Hong and asked, "Are you going?"

"Let's go!" There are too few fresh fruits in the town, Xiao Hong is really hungry, seeing Xu Xinning heard that she is going, the smile on his face disappeared, and his mood changed: "How can we go tomorrow? "

If you go by car, you should go to the station and ask about the time, so as not to miss it.

If he can drive there, he can be free, and he can sleep in.

"I'll go by car." During the holidays, there are so many people on the bus, and it's not easy to get a seat, so he was reluctant to let Xiao Fang squeeze it.

Xiao Hong was very happy after hearing this: "Then you come after nine o'clock tomorrow, and we happen to be going to the city for lunch. I'll treat you."

When they got home, it was just about time for lunch.

Since there was an extra set lunch of [-] yuan at noon, there are now more people who make lunch reservations, and their family also eats the pre-ordered lunch, which satisfies Xiao Hong's appetite.

They put down their schoolbags, and asked Wu Julan to sit outside to rest, and they helped serve the dishes.

There are nine lunches ordered today, and the guests arrive one after another, and the sisters deliver the meals.

The meat dish is the stewed pork head meat that the family already sells, the vegetarian dish is stewed big bones with radish, and fried celery with shredded pork.

Xiao Hong felt that she was really bloated, and now she didn't want to eat braised pork head meat so much.

Fortunately, they also sat at a small square table, and the dishes were served on plates. She ate a bowl of rice with radish soup and asked them, "Are there any fish and prawns in the vegetable market?"

"There's salted octopus at home." Zhao Laosi said cheerfully, "I'll make it for you tonight."

Xiao Hong quickly shook her head: "No, I want to eat fresh hairtail."

Wu Julan looked at her helplessly: "How can we have fresh hairtail here?"

"It's okay, there must be some in the city." Xiao Hong suddenly thought of a good idea, and planned to make a fortune during the Chinese New Year: "We're going to the city tomorrow, do you have anything to bring?"

"No, we have everything at home." Wu Julan hurriedly told her, "Don't spend money recklessly."

From their point of view, their family is now living a happy life that they never dared to dream of in the past.

"The money you earn is for spending!" Seeing her mother's disapproving expression, Xiao Hong smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, Xu Xinning said that his cousin is coming here for the New Year, can we pay back the money our family owes him? ?”

Last month, she went to the police station to get her ID card, and then went to the bank to deposit money and get a passbook.

The income from the stewed chicken at home is recorded every day. Xiao Hong takes her own income every Sunday and deposits it in the bank as a whole.

She has been going to school for the past few months and has not spent much money.

Now I have 2000 yuan in my passbook.

She estimated that there should be five or six thousand of the family's money, which is enough to pay off the bill.

Sure enough, Zhao Laosi responded straight away: "Yes, I can pay it back."

They have long wanted to pay back the money, which is a debt, and they always keep it in their hearts.

Of course, when they borrowed money before, they didn't expect to be able to exchange it so quickly.

Wu Julan also looked at them and asked, "When paying back the money, should we calculate the interest for them, or buy them something?"

Zhao Lao Si also agreed: "He helped us a lot, and we should thank him well. Even your mother and I don't know much, and we don't know what to buy. It happens that you are going to the city, so we just look at the ones who can help us." buy it?"

After finishing speaking, he went back to his room to get a wad of money: "I thought they probably wouldn't ask for interest. Here is 500 yuan. You should keep it and don't be reluctant to spend it."

Xiao Hong readily agreed.

She really wanted to say, in the past, they were reluctant to spend money, okay?
Now I still let myself not be reluctant, I really think too much.

However, they are reluctant to part with themselves, and they are quite generous when they encounter problems, and they are willing to give out 500 yuan.

Xiao Hong thought for a while: "It's the Chinese New Year, why don't you buy them clothes?"

Wu Julan had no objection: "That's fine, you buy better materials."

What the brothers lent them was pocket money, which meant that they were not short of money. If they bought cheap clothes, she was worried that they would look down on them.

Zhao Laosi said cheerfully: "You also buy a new dress, and I will give you the money later."

Yanyan, who was gnawing at the bone, had been silent until now, but couldn't help cheering when she heard this: "I want new clothes too."

Wu Julan is used to being frugal, so she subconsciously said, "Why do you buy it? How many clothes and shoes have you bought this year? Your sisters' clothes are just right for you to wear."

Mainly the children nowadays, the young ones pick up the big clothes to wear.
