Chapter 35 New Year's Anecdote II

When Mama Ling and the others came back, they all had smiles on their faces. Ye Ling leaned over and asked curiously, "Mom, Second Aunt, why are you so happy?"

The aunt said to the old lady while taking off her coat: "When I was in the store just now, the second sister received a call from Fengcheng. The elder sister and the third sister and their families are coming back for the New Year."

The old lady quickly stood up and looked at Ling's mother: "Qingping? What Shuying said is true? Meixia and Rainbow are coming back?"

Mother Ling hung up her coat and came over to help the old lady to sit up: "Yes, my elder sister and my younger sister are both back, and Shidong and Xiao Miao are also back."

The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop talking from ear to ear, "I didn't hear them say they were coming back when I came back. Why are they coming back for the New Year all of a sudden?"

"It's not good to be back," my aunt also came over: "It's probably because they feel that they don't have much fun celebrating the New Year over there. When we come back, we can have a lively and happy New Year together, isn't it very good."

"Okay, okay, how did you live here for so many years?" The old lady was a little worried, both Ling Xiaoxiao's house and Ye Ling's house were very small, and it was really hard for so many people to live there.

Ling's mother was also a little worried, but she and her aunt had already discussed it in the store: "Mom, don't worry, when the time comes, Shuying and I will borrow two bunk beds, and we will set up the beds in the living room at night and collect them in the morning." Get up, Shuying does this, we will fall asleep after squeezing, and besides, they will not arrive until noon on the [-]th day, and they will rush back on the fourth day, and they will not stay for a few days."

The accommodation has been settled, but the New Year's goods that Ling Xiaoxiao bought before are not enough, and I haven't bought vegetables and so on, so I can buy more at that time, but the local chicken, pork, ribs, eggs and so on that need to be prepared in advance are not enough, She and Ye Ling have to buy some more, and they have to order a few more live fish that have been ordered with the fish seller in advance. . . . .Ling Xiaoxiao flipped through the list she made before, and rearranged it again.

Father Ling came back with news from his little uncle. The little uncle has done well in the bank this year, and he is likely to be promoted to the president of the branch next year. He is proud of himself now, and originally wanted to let Dad Ling and his little aunt go to the bank. During the Chinese New Year in Ancheng, I later heard that there were old people there, and there were also old people in my little aunt’s little uncle’s house who couldn’t leave, so I changed it to let them go to the Lantern Festival.

Dad Ling is the eldest in the family, and there are three younger sisters and a younger brother under him. Besides Dad Ling and the younger aunt, the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the younger uncle are all in Ancheng. The eldest aunt and the second aunt are employees of state-owned enterprises. The company's profits have always been stable, neither bad nor bad, so when the wave of layoffs came, it was not affected. Before Ling Xiaoxiao was reborn in her previous life, her eldest aunt retired smoothly. Although her second aunt was still working, she was about to retire, and her life was very comfortable. .

In the past few years, Ling Xiaoxiao's family had a hard time. Every time the little uncle and the others let them go to Ancheng to play, Ling's father and Ling's mother were reluctant to spend money to go there. Money and taking the children out to play also need money, and the dead wages of the two of them are really not enough for anything.It's different now, since Mama Ling's store opened, the family's life has become better and better, and they also have the money to go to Ancheng this year to see their younger siblings.

Mama Ling knew Papa Ling's thoughts and naturally agreed with both hands, even the old lady on the side nodded with a smile: "I should go and have a look, you and your brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for several years, you can't do it by calling , this dear one, you still need to move around more, or else even the best relationship will be alienated."

Both Ling's father and Ling's mother agreed with the old lady, saying that she was right, that old people are wiser and can see things clearly after a lifetime.It's just that Ling Xiaoxiao is a little worried. Her study plan for this holiday has been changed again and again, and if she goes to Ancheng again, she will definitely not be able to achieve the study goals she set during the holiday.

In the evening, the old lady was lying on the bed watching Ling Xiaoxiao do her homework and suddenly said: "Yaya, don't push yourself too hard, the string will break if you stretch it too tight, you should also rest for a few days when the Chinese New Year is coming soon." After the Chinese New Year, you are studying."

Ling Xiaoxiao turned her head and smiled at the old lady: "Grandma, I didn't force myself to study. I don't have a good foundation. If I want to be admitted to a good school, I have to work hard. I don't study hard enough, so I only watch the meeting every night. Book, it's okay, don't worry."

Seeing that she had an idea of ​​her own, the old lady didn't talk too much. She closed her eyes and prepared to go to bed. Seeing that the old lady was tired, Ling Xiaoxiao got up and turned off the light in the room. Do English special training.

Because she was going to Ancheng, Ling Xiaoxiao made more strict use of her time. She changed the time to memorize words after running back to do winter vacation homework, and made English words into word cards and carried them with her. Take a second look, there is no way to change the diary composition, so I can only spare time to write it quickly, especially now that she doesn't ask for quality in the diary, she must first ensure that she can finish writing.

Ling Ma's shop is getting busier and busier, and clothes are even being lost. Ling Xiaoxiao and Ye Ling have no choice but to go to the shop to help after spending a whole day restocking the shortage of New Year's goods. One is in charge of the cashier and the other is in charge of keeping At the door of the fitting room, the statistics of the clothes that everyone brought in to try on, while Ling Ma and aunt were busy introducing styles and bargaining to customers.

Getting up early and going to bed late every day, on the eve of the New Year's Eve, Ling Xiaoxiao found that the fat on her waist had shrunk. This discovery made her silly for a long time, and her legs became thinner and thinner after running in the morning , but because of the lack of exercise, the fat on the waist is still firm, and the body proportions look a little uncoordinated. Originally, she was worried that if she ate and drank a lot during the Chinese New Year, the fat on the waist would increase. This time it’s okay Yes, after eating and drinking, at most she will gain back to her original appearance. . . .

Ling Ma's shop has been closed since the thirties, and she will decide when to open after the fifth day of the lunar new year, depending on the situation on the street. Ling Ma closes the shop on the 29th and returns home to sort out the accounts of the past few months and open the shop. Although it has been less than four months, because of my aunt's presence, the dividends that should be given to others are still indispensable, so Ling's mother started to sort out the accounts after dinner, listing every expense and income, except for each purchase. The expenses, as well as shop rent and some wear and tear, Ling Ma was shocked after calculating that she had earned more than 5 in the past few months.

When she and Ling's father were both working before, the combined salary of the two of them was not more than two thousand a month. This was her salary after counting bonuses during the childbirth period. Normally, the two of them would earn even less.Mama Ling didn't expect that she could make so much money by doing business.

After setting aside the payment for the purchase, Mama Ling deducted the wages paid to my aunt in the past few months, and after doing the math, she found that she would also give her aunt a bonus of 6000 yuan. Business will not do so well.
