The voice behind the screen sounded again: "This boy is not simple! If it had been left in the past, I would have taken him by my side and become my old boss's personal assistant in Dongsheng shop."
Ji Cunxi heard his father's voice.
He quickly walked behind the screen, bent his waist, and said softly to the old man lying on the chair: "Dad, if you don't take a good rest at home and come here all the time, it's not good for your health."
"Hey, I have long been used to it after working in this store all my life. If I don't take a look for a day, I won't feel at ease."
Ji Cunxi's father, who was sitting on the recliner, sighed, "Xier, do you really want to go abroad?"
Ji Cunxi nodded: "I have decided that it might be more suitable for me to go back there and start a business."
The old man nodded: "I'm old! I can't see the situation clearly anymore. Since you want to leave, I won't stop you. Since those two people came last time, I have already decided to donate this shop. Get out."
"Dad, your decision is the right one."
Ji Cunxi echoed, "And those two people also said that they will respect my personal choice. But the property that belongs to this land, I suggest that it should be kept on this land to benefit the fellow villagers."
"Haha, very good, this is not bad."
The old man grinned: "You pack up and go work hard in the place where you studied abroad! I will stay here when I am old. Oh, you go and help dad do something and find out who the young man named Luo Xuan was. Where are you from?"
Ji Cunxi smiled: "What? Dad, do you think this son is extraordinary?"
The old man asked back: "What do you think?"
Ji Cunxi nodded: "This Luo Xuan is indeed not like an ordinary country boy. In order to achieve his goals, he dares to do things that ordinary people dare not do and do things that others dare not do. Moreover, he speaks with reason and reason, and he is relaxed and relaxed in his movements. Degree, it’s really not simple, it’s not simple!”
The old man smiled happily: "Xi'er, you handled it very well just now, very good! The old hen has been thrown away, so why bother with the little chicken feathers?"
"It's just a few feet of fabric, so what's the harm in giving it to him for free?"
"What's more, dad can see that this boy is not only courageous and courageous, but also kind and righteous. Even though he is wearing rags, he doesn't forget to buy some cloth for his sister."
The old man smiled and said: "That young man just now, when he came in to see you, when he looked at the furnishings, the look in his eyes... Oh!
Just from that glance, your father and I knew in our hearts that this boy was not simple!
When he opens his mouth, I'm afraid you can tell that this guy is in deep trouble!
If he sharpens a little more, his future cultivation will probably be far superior to yours."
The old man changed the subject: "Xier, in your opinion, when the young man looked at you just now, what did you see in his eyes?"
Ji Cunxi pondered for a moment and then said: "I saw calmness, fearlessness, and... and..." in his eyes.
The old man snorted coldly: "And pity! Xi'er, what kind of look will you have when you see those struggling fish and shrimps in the dry pool?"
When Ji Cunxi heard this, an extremely complicated thought suddenly appeared in his heart!
I am Ji Cunxi.
He is a man who has returned from studying abroad, a young talent who was famous in several surrounding counties.
Even though our family has lost power now, we are still a young owner with a century-old reputation...
Uh, he's the person in charge!
How could I be reduced to the point where I need a country boy to take pity on me?
only.
Ji Cunxi, who has experienced countless ups and downs before and after liberation, is no longer the kind of person who takes action based on impulse.
Since my father, who is well-informed, has said this, it will definitely not be unfounded, let alone groundless.
So Ji Cunxi carefully recalled every move he made when he saw Luo Xuan.
Later.
I heard him take a breath: "It's true...Dad! Could it be that he has foreseen that our Dongsheng store has a bad future?"
The old man sighed: "In this world, there are indeed people who can predict the general trend, then take the right steps, and finally stand out among thousands of ants.
For example, the teacher surnamed Fan, and a certain wealthy man surnamed Liu.
Your father and I have followed your grandfather, second grandfather and others into the dock since I was 12 years old. In this life, what kind of brother, boss, bureaucrat or warlord have I never seen?
If I had been wrong, how could I have had the glory that Dongsheng Shop had in the past when it was famous in Bayu and proud of Sichuan? How could I have made so much money and sent you to study abroad?"
Upstairs, Ji Cunxi and his son were talking.
At the store, Luo Xuan carried the cloth that the salesperson had packed for him with rags, and walked out of the Dongsheng Store store without looking back.
Only the dumbfounded middle-aged man was left, and a group of salesmen with complicated expressions...
After buying the cloth, Luo Xuan went to the public sales department store and bought a "Hero Brand" pen for 5 yuan and 60 cents.
The stationery counters of department stores also provide on-site ‘engraving’ services.
So-called ‘portrayal’ services.
In fact, the salesperson at the counter used a carving knife made from a half-section of a hacksaw blade to draw patterns such as "The Rising Sun" and "Sail Away" on the body of the pen.
With the decoration of these patterns, the uniform pen shape can have its own exclusive pattern.
This not only looks beautiful, but also makes it easier to distinguish it from other people's pens.
So Luo Xuan added another 10 cents and asked the salesperson to engrave it on the pen.
I saw the male salesperson holding a pen in his left hand and a carving knife with three fingers in his right hand.
With three or two strokes, the pattern of "fishing gulls flying, solitary boats singing at night" was carved on Luo Xuan's pen.
Wait until the salesperson is about to carve an inspirational saying on the pen, such as, "There is a path to a mountain of books, and hard work is the path," or "Study hard and contribute to the construction of the country."
At this time, Luo Xuan suddenly became ill-humoured and said to the salesperson: "Please just engrave 'Poor and lower-middle peasant Luo Xuan's pen' on it. There is no need for anything else."
The male salesperson was stunned when he heard this!
As soon as Luo Xuan said these words, even the female salespersons who were standing behind the counter and looking coldly at the customers in the store suddenly became happy: Throughout the year, the stationery cabinet group didn't know how many pens they sold.
This is really the first time for everyone to see such a request like Luo Xuan!
But Helix didn't take it seriously. He secretly complained in his heart. You guys, you haven't really realized the preciousness of these words yet!
If you really want to be a poor peasant, it will definitely be uncomfortable.
But I can't resist the sign, it's made of gold!
After buying the pen, Luo Xuan went back to the guest house.
Originally, Luo Xuan planned to buy two mosquito nets and two sets of single bedding, but he didn't have any cloth or cotton tickets.
Without receipts, you can't buy these things at the supply and marketing cooperative's stores.
If he uses the same trick he did at Dongsheng Shop on them again, he will definitely be in trouble!
Leaders in supply and marketing cooperatives are people who rely on their rice bowls to ensure their incomes are guaranteed despite droughts and floods.
Their mentality towards this kind of thing is completely different from that of Ji Cunxi in Dongsheng shop.

Whether you are plucking the wool or plucking out the beards of a tiger, you have to figure it out in your mind.
