Life 1984

Chapter 94
Zhang Shuwen pulled Li Yunhai and signaled him to stop arguing with Li Guowang.

Li Deming came out, asked Li Guowang to take a seat, and handed him a homemade cigarette.

Li Guowang also heard that Li Yunhai's family had bought a large color TV, so he came over to take a look at the excitement.

In the past, only his house had a TV in the whole village. If the villagers wanted to watch TV, they could only go to his house to watch it. At night, his house was crowded with people inside and outside.

No one came today. When he inquired, he found out that Li Yunhai's family had bought a Taiwanese color TV set, and all the villagers came here to watch TV.

Li Guowang crossed his legs, raised his head, and said with a smile: "In the county, the only people who can buy color TVs are cadres and leading families. Brother Deming, what kind of family is yours? Do you want to buy such a big color TV?"

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi collected the money and came out, and happened to hear this.

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "What era are you in? Who said that only cadres can buy color TVs? As long as you have money, you can buy it too!"

Li Guowang's expression froze, he glanced at Lin Zhi and sneered: "Where did this woman come from?"

Li Deming said: "This is my eldest son's friend."

He called Li Yunhai again: "You guys, let's go outside and watch TV in the main room!"

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi came to the main room.

The hall was crowded with people, there were no chairs, some were sitting on the floor, some were squatting and watching, and some were standing and watching.

The TV series "Huo Yuanjia" was playing on the TV. When this show was broadcast, the crowds were really empty.

In order to catch up on this drama, people in the village would have dinner early and go to the houses with TV sets in advance to occupy seats.

Young people are practicing martial arts by learning the moves in the show.

Lin Zhi asked Li Yunhai in a low voice: "Does that party secretary have a bad relationship with your family?"

Li Yunhai laughed disapprovingly: "He is jealous that my family bought a motorcycle and a large color TV. Ignore him."

Lin Zhi smiled sweetly and said, "This person is so small-minded! I'll go chat with Yunfang."

Li Guowang sat at Li Yunhai's house for half an hour before leaving.

Li Yunhai found his father and asked Li Guowang what he was doing.
Li Deming said that Li Guowang said that you became a worker and wanted to introduce his niece to you as a guest.

Hall guest means wife.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunhai quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "Dad, you must not agree to this marriage. No one in the party secretary is easy to talk to! And you don't need to worry about my affairs. I will negotiate a girlfriend myself, and I will arrange it when the time comes. My own marriage.”

Zhang Shuwen washed a handful of dates and put them in her son's hand, and said with a smile: "Zhishu Li's cousin is pretty good-looking. She also went to high school and is an educated woman. We have already rejected Li Zhishu and said that you are negotiating in the provincial capital. Party Secretary Li said that women in the city are destined to be young girls, cannot do housework, and are unreliable in relationships. Women in the countryside are hard-working and can follow you for a lifetime. I said that we can’t control my family’s Yunhai affairs, so he left. ”

Li Yunhai shook his head after hearing this, and discussed renovating a new house with his father.

Li Deming said that this matter still needs to be reported to the village, and we can only start construction after the above approval is obtained.

Li Yunhai said that anyway, I gave you the money, and you have to decide what to do. After the approval, you send me a letter and I will come back again. You have to listen to me on how to build the new house.

Li Deming said that you paid for it, so of course he will listen to you.

The villagers were watching TV at Li's house until they saw that there was no program and snowflakes appeared on the TV screen before they dispersed.

The next day, after having lunch at home, Li Yunhai got on his motorcycle and took Linzhi back to the provincial capital.

Peng Dianzi told Li Yunhai that Shen Xiulan was here last night. I told her that you had returned to your hometown. Shen Xiulan asked you to go to the dormitory to find her after returning to the city.

Li Yunhai said he knew it and came to the Wuyi Road store.

The decoration of the facade is coming to an end.

During this period, people kept coming to apply for jobs, mostly educated youths who had returned to the city and were looking for jobs.

Li Yunhai told the decoration workers that anyone who applies for a job will be asked to come for an interview on August 8.

After the decoration of the store was completed, Li Yunhai invited Lin Zhi to help make signboards.

The signboards of this era were all made of wooden boards or iron sheets, coated with a layer of paint, and the store name and main business items were written on them, mostly with red characters on a white background.

A fastidious businessman will spend some polishing fees to have a famous calligrapher inscribe the name of the shop, and then have someone engrave it.

The signboard Li Yunhai wants to create is unique.

He bought white canvas and angle iron, welded a signature shelf himself, and tied two rows of light tubes with iron wire inside the shelf and connected them with wires.Lin Zhi is responsible for writing shop signs on canvas.

This is Lin Zhi's specialty. She is very artistic and wrote the words "Sihai Office Equipment Repair Store" into artistic calligraphy. It is solemn yet lively, eye-catching and eye-catching.

She was also creative and drew an icon on the signboard cloth.

Inside a circle, there are ripples of water, and an auspicious cloud crosses the circle.

Lin Zhi explained her idea this way: "The circle represents the sea, and the ripples in it are water. Water also represents wealth, and wealth is sucked into the circle. The cloud is you. The cloud is on the water, and the two ends stretch out, which means that you have the world but not the world." Not limited to the world, it means that you will develop your ambitions, your business will be prosperous all over the world, and your financial resources will reach Sanjiang."

Li Yunhai liked this icon very much and said he would use it as a registered trademark.

Lin Zhi stretched out her little hand and said with a sweet smile: "I've been busy for a long time, shouldn't you give me some reward?"

Li Yunhai said that I will give you a big red envelope on the opening day!

Lin Zhi asked him when he would open his business?
Li Yunhai decided to open on August 8, which is July 26 of the lunar calendar, and it happens to be Sunday, which is an auspicious day.

After the canvas sign was dry, Li Yunhai placed the cloth on the angle iron frame, tightened the four corners, and then glued the canvas on the reverse side.

A three-dimensional light box-style door sign is done!

Not to mention Linzhi, even the decoration workers admired the light box sign made by Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai directed the workers to drill holes in the door wall to install signboard brackets, and then welded the signboard together.

The entire facade is 30 meters wide. On the street side, between the pillars and on the column base, double-layer glass is used as the wall, and a rolling shutter door is made outside.

The glass is transparent and everything inside the facade can be seen from the outside.

Lin Zhi asked Li Yunhai if he wanted to make a few windows for displaying products.
Li Yunhai thought for a while and said it was not necessary.

He looked at the empty glass wall and said, "Okay, you can make some advertising words for me and paste them on the glass. The fonts can be larger. This will be more intuitive."

Lin Zhi said yes.

After finishing the work, it was evening.

Shen Xiulan came over on her bicycle. She had just gone to the repair shop and asked Peng Dianzi, only to find out that Li Yunhai had rented such a large storefront on Wuyi Road.

"Hai of Yun!" Shen Xiulan saw that Lin Zhi was also present, and a different kind of light flashed in her eyes. She said in a coquettish tone, "Why don't you come to me?"

Li Yunhai pointed at the facade and said, "Don't you see that I'm very busy?"

The decoration of the store is finished and it still needs to be cleaned.

Lin Zhi smiled and said: "Shen Xiulan, you came just in time, let's help Li Yunhai clean the store! It will open in two days!"

Shen Xiulan parked her bicycle, walked into the store, looked around, and said, "What do you need to say? His business is my business!"

Li Yunhai saw them pinching each other as soon as they met, but he was sensible enough not to interrupt.

The two women worked together to clean up the remaining garbage, wipe the doors and windows, clean the glass, and mop the floor twice inside and out.

The night falls and the lights come on.

Li Yunhai turned on the lights in the store and then turned on the light box outside.

The whole store is bright and eye-catching.

Li Yunhai only needs to buy some office furniture and supplies, and then drag the computers and copiers over to place them, and it will be a high-end and classy store!
He thought of something and said to Shen Xiulan: "I have reached an agreement with Director Zhou of the Children's Palace. I will be a training teacher there on Sunday night. You can come with me! I will take you a few classes and the training will be done in the future." I’ll leave it to you, you can use it as a side job and make a lot of money.”

Shen Xiulan groaned: "Be a training teacher? Can I do it? How much money can I make?"

Li Yunhai said you can definitely do it!I pay 50 yuan for a class, and you are my apprentice, and you pay 20 yuan for a class.

When Shen Xiulan heard that it was so profitable, she covered her mouth and said excitedly: "Really? 20 yuan for a class? How many classes can you take per month?"

Li Yunhai said there are two classes a week, eight classes a month.

Shen Xiulan exclaimed: "Then I can earn 160 yuan a month! It's higher than my salary at work! I'm willing!"

Lin Zhi was listening to their conversation, biting her lip, her eyes rolling, obviously thinking about something important!
