Through the 80s peasant woman

Chapter 17

Liu Yun's favorite location is a stall at the gate of the vegetable market.The area there is not big, it is an extra place because the wall is recessed.In order to save the booth, a table was built in this place, which was also contracted out.It's just that the location is small, and it's exposed to wind and rain, so few people are willing to contract it.Someone had contracted it before, and it was difficult to do business when it was windy and rainy, so it was gradually used as a place to store sundries.

When the manager of the vegetable market heard that Liu Yun and the others were willing to contract this booth, they felt a little embarrassed, "You guys just came to the city, right? It’s not like a rich person, it’s bad if you lose your property.”

"We don't have much money, so we won't pick anything. If this place is cheap, we'll be the ancestors." Liu Yun felt that this person should be quite honest if he could say such a thing. Working with such a person would save him a few knives.

Well, people are trying to be cheap, so I can't say anything. "Okay, get your money ready, and I'll get you a contract agreement."

Several people discussed it and signed a contract agreement. The contract period is three years, and the rent is ten yuan per month. The rent for one year is paid for the first time, and the monthly payment starts from the second year.

Liu Yun signed a contract with someone and paid the rent of 120 yuan in one lump sum.She and Qin Dazhou and his wife each bear the cost of 150 yuan.After paying the funds, there was 180 yuan left over to buy meat and rent a house.In order to have a place to stay when the time comes, I found an old house near the suburbs. There is a small yard on the first floor. There are two rooms inside. They are usually rented to two families. They rented them all at once, 20 a month. Rent for one yuan.There is a house and a shop, and then it is time to officially open.

When several people boarded the long-distance bus home, Li Mei hadn't recovered yet.She grabbed Qin Dazhou's arm, and said in amazement, "Da Zhou, pinch me, do we really have a house and a shop in the city?"

Qin Dazhou pinched her, "We have a house and a shop, but they are rented, not ours."

"It's okay to rent." Li Mei's face was full of excitement, and seeing the people in the car looking at them, she quickly shut up.She still understands the reason why money is not revealed.

Liu Yun is not as optimistic as Li Mei. She is thinking about many issues now, including how to open their store, what promotional activities they need, and how to manage it after opening.If it is just a small business, she can not worry about these tofu, but she wants to be big, this is the first step for her to go out, there are so many opportunities in this era, she wants to seize them, and then change herself and even the lives of those around you.

After returning home, Gao Cuihua walked out anxiously, took Liu Yun's arm, and asked anxiously: "How is it, how is Zhan Guo doing in the team, have you lost weight?"

Qin Laoshi knocked on the cigarette stick, "The child just came back and didn't even drink his saliva. What are you in a hurry for?"

Liu Yun put the burden in her hand on the chair in the main room, wiped the sweat from her face, and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, the Warring States Period is very good. It's just that there are too many things in the army recently, and I don't have time to come back. Come back to see you two elders when you have some days off."

Gao Cuihua's eyes turned red, "I haven't been back for more than half a year."

"Why are you crying? The child is still in the army!" Qin Laoshi yelled, "The children are tired, so hurry up and cook. I'll go and bring the firewood." After speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Without counting on Gao Cuihua to cook, Liu Yun brought the things into the room and followed Li Mei into the kitchen to cook.

As soon as I walked into the kitchen, I smelled the aroma of braised pork.Li Mei started cleaning the rice, and Liu Yun rolled up her sleeves and started cleaning the pot.

"Sister-in-law, how will the family's business be in the next year?"

Li Mei frowned, and the smile on her face faded a bit, "Don't mention it, we don't have any part in this business."

"What's the matter?" Liu Yun looked up in surprise. She saw that the big jar was still steaming, and thought that Qin Dazhou and Li Mei were still doing business in the town.

Li Mei glanced at the door, and then said in a low voice: "The day I sent you to the car, after your elder brother and I came back, Mom and Qiaohui closed the kitchen door and started to braise the meat. I don't know how Qiaohui and Mom said, at lunchtime, Mom said they were going to use that jar." Thinking of this, she became angry, she and Da Zhou went to buy that jar.If you talk to her well, she won't refuse to lend it to them, but taking it so quietly, what is it like.

"Dad didn't care about this?" Her father-in-law shouldn't be such a confused person.

Li Mei sighed, added water to the rice, and poured it into the wooden barrel for steaming rice.The lid was put on, and the fire started to be added under the stove. "Dad went to someone else's house for a drink that day, and Da Zhou told me not to tell Dad. Later, Dad probably knew about it. Maybe considering that Qiaohui and the others didn't make any money a year ago, he just turned a blind eye. "

It seems that the father-in-law is not completely fair and just, also, he is his own son, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh.Both Qin Dazhou and Li Mei were honest people, so they could only hold their breath when they saw such a thing.No wonder I didn't see Qin Chunqiu and his wife when I came back today, they must be going to the town to deliver goods now.She had also guessed that the business in this town would definitely be left to Qin Chunqiu, but she didn't expect their husband and wife to do so unsatisfactorily.

As soon as the food was served on the table, Qin Chunqiu and his wife came back with smiles on their faces.

As soon as Qin Chunqiu put down the pole on his shoulders, he saw Liu Yun coming out of the kitchen with a bowl in his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable.Liu Qiaohui snorted at her quite proudly.

"Let's go, let's eat." Pulling Qin Chunqiu into the main room.

The family gathered around the table, Liu Yun and Qin told the truth about renting a house in the county, and said that in order not to waste the rent, the two days passed.

After hearing this, Qin Chunqiu was obviously relieved.

Liu Qiaohui curled her lips, picked up the food with chopsticks, and said while eating: "Let me put the word here first, you are gone this time, if you can't live in the city in the future, you can't steal our business." She had made some money in the past few days, seeing that the money came in faster than farming, her heart was already flustered, and she made up her mind not to return it to them.

Liu Yun ignored her, just looked at Qin Chunqiu and said, "Is this also second brother's idea?"

Qin Chunqiu ate with his head buried in silence.

This is the default.Liu Yun nodded. "Okay, even the second brother and the second sister-in-law think so, we can't argue about it for the sake of our parents, but today I have to make it clear that this time my eldest brother and sister-in-law went to the city to do business In the future, regardless of whether it is good or bad, the family members will not be able to get in again."

Gao Cuihua was upset, didn't this alienate the relationship between her sons? She put her chopsticks on her face and scolded: "My third daughter-in-law, what you said is wrong, this family is full of rich people, but they don't have money. Yes, brothers can live a good life only by supporting each other. You want to dominate the family in the future, right?"

"Pa—" Qin Laoshi threw his chopsticks onto the table.There was already anger on his face, "Whoever has the ability can live a good life by himself, my old Qin family's seed, don't think about relying on others to pull him out!"

Qin Laoshi was so angry that no one dared to speak. Gao Cuihua had already finished eating the rice in the bowl with chopsticks.It's just that Qin Chunqiu and Liu Qiaohui's expressions are very bad.

After lunch, Li Mei and Liu Yun cleaned up the dishes as usual.Qin Laoshi and his wife took their farm tools and wandered around the fields again.Liu Qiaohui dragged Qin Chunqiu into the room, deliberately loudly said to the open window: "Dad is too biased, everything is partial to other people's families, and I don't know how they bought it."

Li Mei and Liu Yun heard the sound in the kitchen, and Liu Yun threw the basin on the stove heavily, making a loud bang.The jeering outside stopped.

"Don't be angry, we're leaving." Li Mei had no choice but to gain a foothold in this family, except for Qin Dazhou's protection of her, she could bear it.

Liu Yun sneered, and said loudly to the door: "I'll put up with her. When we leave, let's see if her brine can last for a few days. Then don't be ashamed to ask us to come." Although brine is more fragrant as it is cooked, it cannot be used for a long time.She didn't believe that Gao Cuihua had learned all of her own skills.

"She is also poor. She has been married to her second brother for several years and has not had a child. This person has no hope, so he always looks for work elsewhere." This is why she can bear Liu Qiaohui. A woman without children , worse than anything else.

"No child? Didn't go for a checkup?" Liu Yun remembered that Qin Chunqiu was two years older than Qin Zhanguo, and Liu Qiaohui was also in her 20s, so she was no longer young at this time.She has been looking at them according to the standards of the 21st century, but she doesn't think there is anything wrong there.

Li Mei glanced outside, came over and whispered: "That's what our family knows, who would have the nerve to go outside to check. Mom made a fuss before and was suppressed by Dad, so this time Mom is so It's kind of weird to help them."

"Anyway, it's not something we can control, whether they are strange or not."

Qin Dazhou and his wife were in a hurry to start a business, and Liu Yun didn't want to watch Liu Qiaohui's complacent look every time she marinated meat at home. After discussing with each other, they decided to go to the city earlier.

These things were originally agreed in advance, and Qin Laoshi and his wife greeted each other, and the meat was marinated overnight.The next day, Qin Dazhou was carrying a load of stewed meat, Liu Yun and Li Mei were carrying things, and even Wang Lin happily followed the adults with their burdens.

Wang Lin was very curious about being able to go to the city. I heard that there are many delicious and interesting things there, and there are also beautiful clothes.The girl next door just went to the city to buy a tutu skirt, which made her friends very envious.

This time, the state of mind when entering the city was different.They were all worried, and more hopeful for the future.

After arriving at the rental house, the two families share a room with each other.As soon as Li Mei and Liu Yun put down their luggage, they rolled up their sleeves and started cleaning. Qin Dazhou's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he had to change the water and move the furniture.A few people cleaned up the dilapidated and dilapidated house with clean hands and cleared the windows.Xiao Wang Lin was very curious about this new home. She jumped up and down in and out of the house. In just one morning, she became acquainted with the neighbor's children.Even lunch is called to come back to eat.

Early morning and afternoon are the busiest times of the day for the vegetable market.They didn't catch up with the morning market, so they had to try it in the evening market first.

This time I brought a total of [-] catties of meat.The weather is getting warmer, so they don't dare to save more, thinking that it will take at least two days to sell out.Qin Dazhou listened to Liu Yun's suggestion and cut [-] catties and put them in a basket. Liu Yun and Li Mei took the big iron tray and a steelyard for setting up a stall, and the three of them led the children to the vegetable market together.
