On the third day of the new year, my father and mother went back to the city. They also wanted to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to visit relatives and friends. When they left, they packed big and small bags until they couldn't carry them anymore, so grandma didn't stop.

The sun was shining brightly and warmly, and my aunt and her neighbor were sitting on the doorpost, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"The Yonghui family must be having a good year this year!" She wore her hair neatly in a bun and half-worn clothes. She had green bean eyes and thin lips and looked at her aunt with envy.

"What are you talking about, Sister-in-law Guizhi! The Chinese New Year is just like that, poor and haha, what can you do to be new?" My aunt looked at her in surprise, with a puzzled look on her face, what was there about her that made her envious. "What is there about my sister-in-law?

To put it bluntly, what does it have to do with me?"

"You really don't know, your mother-in-law has made a lot of money this year." Guizhi spat out the melon seed skin and said in surprise.[

"How can we make money by just relying on that steamed bun stall?" The eldest aunt looked disbelieving and disdainful. She asked Yonghui to go to her mother-in-law's house to cause trouble, but unfortunately it didn't work, so she had no choice but to give up! Fortunately, she pointed out later.

There are also fewer people giving advice.

"Oh! You are so stupid! In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, the fragrance of the food your mother-in-law is cooking can be smelled from afar." Guizhi sniffed and seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of the food.

"This Chinese New Year, who doesn't cook a delicious meal, and whose food doesn't taste delicious." My aunt looked at her for being greedy, and looked at her for being poor and miserable with contempt.

"You! I think you really don't know." Guizhi looked around and then whispered: "The two people who work for your mother-in-law, near the end of the year, your mother-in-law gave them a fish, a chicken, and a

A duck, and five kilograms of pork belly. It’s such a big box.” Her eyes were glowing green, and she really wished that those things were for her.

"Really, fake." The eldest aunt looked unbelieving. It was nearing the end of the year, and the couple were too busy to take care of their mother-in-law for their bonuses.

"Of course it's true. I lied to you that I was a puppy. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when your mother-in-law took out the garbage, I went to pick up the leftovers. They were really chickens, ducks, and fishes. The bones were as big as one can imagine.

There are so many." Guizhi continued to encourage. "The clothes your two sisters-in-law are wearing are so beautiful. I don't know where they bought them. Your mother-in-law is so partial. I pity your eldest sister, and the second sister-in-law has never seen anything new.

The clothes, that’s her granddaughter.”

"Oh! I didn't see that. I spent the New Year at my parents' house." My aunt lied.

"Humph! I know how to pretend." Guizhi said with contempt for her eldest aunt in her heart. Who doesn't know that their family disliked her parents-in-law for not making much money and being incompetent. They made the family uneasy and finally moved away from home. Now I regret it!

She saw the flash of anger in her aunt's eyes and knew that her words had an effect, so she left quietly.

Guizhi was provoking here, and the provocation was just to vent her anger. She watched Aunt Mo's buns selling steamed buns, and she also followed suit. However, because she could only buy high-priced flour, which was black and expensive, the cost was too high, so she didn't make enough money to pay back.

I lost some money and felt unhappy, so I naturally had to blame my grandma for the bad luck.

When the uncle came back, the aunt learned what Guizhi's sister-in-law had just said. "Mo Yonghui, why don't you cry for your mother? She has made a lot of money now. She will buy new clothes for your two sisters whose surnames are not hers.

Big fish and big meat, we must not forget that we are the legitimate sons and grandsons of the old Mo family! At least one of us must be given a new suit of clothes."

The uncle's good mood was ruined, and he said irritably: "Why are you so crazy? How can my mother have money? Don't listen to that old lady Guizhi, she doesn't have a word of truth in her mouth."

"She is not telling the truth. Your two sisters are wearing new woolen coats. We have seen it with our own eyes to see if this is true." She jumped up and down and said loudly.

"So what, how much money can that steamed bun stall make? Maybe my eldest sister bought it with her own money," the uncle said.

She thought about it carefully, and it made sense, "I don't care, you still have to find your mother to give the children new clothes."

After talking for a long time, seeing that she still refused to give up, the uncle said: "I won't go, but you have to go."

She looked at his unwillingness and said, "Well, if you don't go, I'll go. No matter how much your mother earns, we should get it. I can't let her take advantage of your two sisters who will marry off in the future."

.We are the roots of the Mo family."

**********************

The eldest aunt called back the three children who were playing wildly outside, pulled them back to the old house with their buttocks squirming.[

My aunt watched the four of them arrive and said sarcastically: "It's really rare. They don't even come during the Chinese New Year. Isn't it too late to come here to pay New Year greetings?"

"Ah! Xiaoyan, this coat is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?" My aunt stepped forward to touch the material, but she ducked past her.

The aunt murmured in her heart and subconsciously said: "I didn't buy it, my sister bought the fabric to make it. How can we poor people have money to buy clothes?"

"Oh!" My aunt raised her eyebrows, obviously not believing what she said.

The aunt looked at her with a sly look, always feeling that she had come with bad intentions today, and then looked down at her new clothes. Thinking of her grandma's summary of the New Year's Eve, she took the initiative to attack and said: "Who is asking you and Mo Yonghui to earn any money?"

If you have enough money, you can keep it in your own pocket, and you don’t have to support the elderly. You can spend it however you want. How could you find your conscience and send money to the elderly?”

"Nonsense, how can we have money? Didn't you see that your nephews and nieces wear shabby clothes during the New Year." The eldest aunt quickly retorted. She resented people saying she was unfilial.

"Ragged clothes, I remember that on New Year's Eve, Mo Yonghui brought them new clothes to wear." The aunt looked at her sideways and said mockingly. Her sister-in-law is mean, greedy, and loves to take advantage, but she doesn't care about her own children.

Not bad. Her dexterity, cutting and embroidery are comparable to those of her eldest sister.

The eldest aunt no longer stood in the corridor with her aunt talking nonsense, discussing clothes, and asked: "Where is the children's grandma!"

"Yeah! It's really strange." "A person like her would also want to see my mother," the aunt said sarcastically. "My mother is not at home, so if you have anything to do, you can tell me." She was too lazy to talk to her here.

The eldest aunt stood at the door for a long time, talking to her aunt for a long time, but did not see her mother-in-law come out. She thought she was really not at home. When she saw Fang Monan coming out and standing on the threshold, she bent down and asked with a smile: "Xiao Nannan,

Why haven't I seen you for a long time and you came here to play with my sister and brother?"

"Who are you?" Fang Monan said directly, "I seem to have only one sister named Mo Bei. I have never met you."

"Pfft..." My aunt repeated maliciously: "That's right! I've never seen you at home. Who are you?"

The eldest aunt was choked by Fang Monan, and her chest heaved a few times, "I am your aunt." After saying that, she looked at Fang Monan's confused look and became angry. She said straightforwardly: "I

Let me ask you, did your grandma buy you the new clothes for the New Year?"

Fang Monan tilted his head and said slowly: "No, mom did it."

"What about your aunt and mother's new coats? Grandma must have paid for them!" She persisted and continued to ask.

"No, grandma didn't have money to buy it, so mom made it." Fang Monan replied honestly.

The aunt was leaning against the door, folding her arms and squinting at them, "It turns out that I came here about clothes. Could it be that Mo Yonghui thought of his mother and sister and wanted to support us?"

‘Humph! If you try to trick Nan Nan, you are simply seeking death.’ My aunt burst into laughter and felt particularly relieved when she looked at her face full of shit.

When she heard what her aunt said, she hurriedly took the children away, fearing that her aunt would stick to her and ask for money, which would be fatal!

"Haha..." My aunt saw her leaving in embarrassment, and smiled happily. She picked up Fang Monan and kissed her. "Well done, I've had a really comfortable year this year."

"Really! Why did she run away as soon as I asked her for money?" Fang Monan said with a smile. She also wanted to ridicule them, but this was not suitable for her age now, so she still pretended to be honest in front of them.

Child!

"Money is more important than her life." My aunt murmured to herself, "Don't tell grandma about this, so as not to save her from giving money to them." It seems that my mother is right. Once you have money, you have to keep your tail between your legs.

, otherwise you will attract hungry wolves.[

"Yeah!" Fang Monan nodded.

The eldest aunt was walking on the road, with a look of reluctance on her face, and told the children, "Come to your grandma's steamed bun stall more often and eat her to death. If you don't eat, it will be cheaper for others, and you can also save some money for the family." "Yes."

!That’s right, just do it!”

When she saw the children agreeing, she nodded with satisfaction.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, grandma and her family went up the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha. There is a temple on Lingshan Mountain in the west of the county. It is a good day to go up the mountain at three, six and nine o'clock. There are many people going up the mountain on this day. They take advantage of other people's

The car arrived at the foot of the mountain. The rest can only be walked up. The road is steep and narrow. It has not been manually dug, but has become a road after walking too much.

My grandma used to be superstitious about gods and Buddhas. After hearing what her granddaughter said, she became even more convinced. When I went to Lingshan Mountain, I bowed devoutly after entering the temple gate. The price for the sesame oil was reasonable, but it was a little more than others, too.

Dazzling it will attract thieves.

Fang Monan didn’t believe in gods and Buddhas before, but now! He also has a sense of awe. Awe, to a certain extent, is the bottom line of our survival. Can’t imagine what the world would be like if people didn’t have awe? If you are in awe, think twice.

Then proceed, no longer recklessly; be in awe, assess the situation, and always be humble and peaceful.

After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, 'Jiajiale' opened, and Fatty looked after the store. This time Liang Zi and Skinny Monkey went to Guangzhou together. Fatty was very dissatisfied, and Liang Zi said to come back to you next time.

Fang Monan wrote to Cheng Shigui and others years ago to say hello.

In order to successfully open the northern market in the new year, Cheng Shigui has already put out advertisements and stepped up stocking up. Therefore, he lived a very hasty life this year. After spending the third grade of junior high school at home, he returned to the factory. Because of overtime work, his salary was lower than

It is three times more than usual, attracting a large number of employees to stay and work overtime.

However, this time Cheng Shigui did not receive Liang Zi and the others in person, but sent a local mandarin-speaking young man (Yan Guangxing) and some local people with some connections to receive them.

Before Liangzi got off the train, he put on the clothes Cheng Shigui bought for him. People want clothes, Buddha wants gold.

The thin monkey was stunned when he saw it, "Brother, if you put on these clothes, you will show off your style."

"I want to dress up this time and show off when I go home," said Shouhou.

With the enthusiastic help of busy Liangzi and Yan Guangxing, this time it was a quick purchase because the family was waiting for the rice to be cooked. The goods purchased this time were not only the original ones, but also some low-end clothes from Cheng Shigui Garment Factory.

, came back for a trial sale. The result was surprisingly good. So I came and went in a hurry again.

Just when he was leaving, Liang Zi called Cheng Shigui to ask for money. After hearing the intention, he directly asked Liang Zi to settle the bill with Yan Guangxing. If the money was not enough, he could give it on credit in advance.

In the subsequent pick-up processes, Liang Zi and the others had plenty of time. With the help of Yan Guangxing, they found out the wholesale channels of commodities in Yangcheng. At the same time, they also established relationships with the public security, railways and other aspects. Liang Zi, Shou Hou and the others

Coming from a lower-class background, he is open-minded in dealing with people. He is not afraid of those who wear shoes even if he is barefoot. He always smiles to everyone, so he can enjoy himself wherever he goes.

Boxes upon boxes of goods include the latest goods brought by Cheng Shigui from Yangcheng Hong Kong, as well as local smuggled goods transported from Yangcheng to the county, filling the shelves of the 'Jiajiale' store. In addition to traditional electronic watches and other goods,

Liang Zi and the others also visited state-owned department stores in counties, cities, and provincial capitals, and based on the needs of residents, purchased items such as women's bell bottoms, dresses, nylon socks, nylon shirts, headbands, and men's gas lighters.

Plastic pencil cases for students, school supplies, and other fashionable items are all kinds of items. These items are absolutely not available in state-run department stores, and they are popular among people who have just a little extra money.

The reputation of the Jiajiale store quickly grew, and it had a vague reputation as a trendsetter. Authentic Hong Kong products could be purchased at the Jiajiale store. The reputation spread to even people in the city and provincial capitals came to buy. For

Liang Zi and the others were very proud of this development. In order to show that the goods came from Hong Kong, Liang Zi and the others even bought some large posters of Hong Kong singers and film stars from Yangcheng and pasted them in the store, attracting fashionable men and women who would not buy anything.
