Lu Hao noticed that Jiang Nan had been looking at the two old people walking away. He called her softly, "Nan Nan, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Jiang Nan collected her thoughts and began to pack her things.
"Let's go, let's go eat first, I'm starving."
The three of them had noodles at a nearby noodle shop, and then took the car home carrying the remaining ten pairs of shoes.
By coincidence, I met Gu Yahui again.
Gu Yahui was riding a motorcycle and had just come out of the hospital.
The street in the Family Courtyard was the only way for him to go home. He was wearing toad glasses and saw Lu Hao holding a nylon bag in his hand from a distance. He stopped the motorcycle and shouted, "Old Lu, it's so hot."
God, where have you been?"
When Mr. Lu saw Gu Yahui, he replied energetically, "Yahui, we are going to set up a stall to sell shoes."
Gu Yahui, "???"
Selling shoes?
His eyes fell on Lu Hao's face.
Dr. Lu also changed his profession?
This family of three really never stops.
"Where did you go to set up a stall?"
"Next to a construction site, dozens of pairs were sold at once." Mr. Lu's face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile.
"By the way, there are still some left, do you want me? I'll get you a pair to wear. These shoes are very comfortable, just the ones Lu Hao and I have on our feet." Mr. Lu actively and enthusiastically made arrangements to get Gu Yahui's shoes.
.
Gu Yahui glanced at the Jiefang shoes on their feet and resisted, "I don't want them."
He is a trend-setter of the times, how could he wear these outdated Jiefang shoes?
Not only was he unwilling, but he also disliked Lu Hao, "You are selling it to others, so why are you wearing it yourself? These are worn by elderly people. Doctor Lu, can you pay attention to your image?"
Lu Hao, "..."
Jiang Nan couldn't listen anymore and rolled her eyes at him, "Dr. Gu, don't teach my Lu Hao a bad lesson. He is a very simple man. How can he keep up with a dandy like you?"
As soon as Jiang Nan got angry, Gu Yahui immediately gave in and explained with an apologetic smile, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."
Jiang Nan's face turned red when he called her sister, and she looked away uncomfortably.
"Yahui, why didn't you call me sister-in-law instead of sister?" Mr. Lu was quite dissatisfied with his title.
Only then did Gu Yahui realize that Lu Hao and Jiang Nan hadn't mentioned their relationship to the old man yet.
"Grandpa, I'm kidding." He was afraid that Mr. Lu would stuff his shoes, so he quickly refused, "Grandpa, these shoes are suitable for you, but not for us young people, so I don't want them."
"Then get a pair for your grandpa."
Mr. Lu was quite enthusiastic. He took the nylon bag from Lu Hao's hand and started to select it.
"Grandpa, no need, right?"
"Take them and wear them. Didn't you already say that these are for us elderly people? I always hear you mention your grandpa, so give him a pair."
Mr. Lu asked while picking, "How big are your grandpa's feet?"
Gu Yahui could not refuse the old man's generosity and enthusiasm, so he could only reply, "41 or 42 is fine."
"There are no more 41s. Here are a pair of 42s. Let's take them back." Mr. Lu found a pair of 42s from the bag and handed them to him.
Gu Yahui took the shoes and was about to pay, "How much do these shoes cost? I'll pay for them."
"Whatever you give me, I'm an acquaintance, so take it."
Gu Yahui could only be respectful rather than obey orders.
Jiang Nan stood aside and did not interrupt during the whole process.
She thought that the old man would be... very happy when he saw that the pair of shoes Gu Yahui took back were exactly the same as the ones he bought.
"Then I'm leaving." Gu Yahui restarted the motorcycle.
The three of them entered the family courtyard and met Wang Cuiping walking downstairs.
Wang Cuiping didn't see Jiang Nan and Mr. Lu for most of the day today. She kept picking her feet downstairs out of boredom.
When I saw them coming back, I finally had someone to talk to, so I hurriedly greeted them.
"Nannan, where have you been? What are you carrying?"
Her eyes curiously fell on the nylon bag Lu Hao put on his shoulder.
Jiang Nan smiled and replied, "Nothing, I bought some things for my family."
"What did you buy?"
Wang Cuiping talks a lot and gossips, she wants to get to the bottom of everything, and her enthusiasm is overwhelming.
"I just bought some cabbage."
I said a few words to her casually and hurried upstairs to go home.
After entering the house, Mr. Lu and Jiang Nan collapsed on the sofa in a second.
Lu Hao went to the kitchen to boil water for them to drink.
"I'm exhausted." Jiang Nan said to the old man, "Grandpa, go and lie down for a while."
"I'm not tired." The old man said enthusiastically, "Nan Nan, quickly calculate how much money we can make today."
Speaking of settling accounts, Jiang Nan also became energetic and began to dig into her pocket to count the money. "I earned an average of two yuan per pair, and sold 28 pairs. I spent a fraction of the money on meals and rides, and I have a net profit of 50."
She counted it again and found that there were two more than fifty.
"Oh, I actually made 50 with such an order. Let's go buy some goods tomorrow." Mr. Lu tasted the benefits and wanted to continue working.
Jiang Nan reminded him, "Grandpa, you have forgotten that this is a batch of goods sold by others. Besides, if we hadn't purchased other goods, they wouldn't be so cheap."
When Mr. Lu heard this, his high mood dropped again.
"Grandpa, take the money."
Grandpa paid for the shoes. Now she took out all the capital and interest and gave it to grandpa, "This is your money."
"What's mine? You take it." Mr. Lu insisted not to take it.
The little money left in the old man's pocket has been replenished today and must be returned to him.
"Grandpa, no, you have to take it, otherwise I won't take you with me in the future."
The old man couldn't resist, so he could only take a step back, "I'll take my principal and give you the profit. You bought the goods today, are you all out of pocket?"
Jiang Nan chuckled, "Okay, I'll take it then."
Lu Hao came out with tea and saw an old man and a young man sharing the profits, with bright smiles on their faces, and he felt extremely satisfied in his heart.
Making money makes her happy, and when she is happy, he is happy.
"Drink some tea to cool down." He poured a cup for Jiang Nan and grandpa each.
"Thanks."
Lu Hao sat on the sofa. When he saw the money in the two people's hands, his eyes moved slightly and he suggested, "Why don't you sell the pants you bought in the city? Don't go back to the village."
Jiang Nan shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't be sold in the city."
People in the city are rich and very particular about their clothes.
Either a stocking dress or jeans. This kind of floral trousers and bodybuilding pants have been popular for a long time.
You can make more money by selling in rural areas.
By the way, I will test the market demand and add other things next time.
In this era, buying and selling is the most profitable way to make money.
"Lu Hao, grandpa and I will go back to our hometown tomorrow, and you will stay at home for two days."
Lu Hao, "???"
"Tomorrow?" He gritted his teeth.
Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Jiang Nan took his arm and began to smooth his hair with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll be back in three or four days. Aren't you going to work in the hospital on Monday? Grandpa and I will be back next week. Please take care of yourself."
Rehabilitation exercise, don’t worry about us.”
As soon as she acted coquettishly, Lu Hao's tone softened involuntarily, "Can you come back in three or four days?"
Jiang Nan nodded vigorously, "Yes, we can take the bus in the morning and set up a stall in the town in the afternoon. Let grandpa rest then, and my aunt and I will sell it. We can sell it out in two days."
Jiang Nan arranged everything so clearly that Lu Hao had no room to refuse.
He was very unhappy with Jiang Nan's decision, but he also knew his wife's determination to make a fortune.
The man he married was not a peaceful master at all, and he had no choice but to support her.
Mr. Lu and Jiang Nan are on the same side, "Yes, don't worry, we will be back as soon as we sell out."
Now even the old man is restless and follows his granddaughter-in-law around.
Two to one, Lu Hao had no control at home.
…
Gu Yahui took the green rubber shoes given by Mr. Lu and drove his motorcycle directly to the old house.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my grandfather holding a shovel and loosening the soil in the yard.
On his feet he was also wearing a pair of green rubber shoes that were exactly the same as those in his bag.
"Hey, grandpa, are you still working today?"
Mr. Gu worked hard, "You have to move when you are alive. I have been served by you all day long and I am exhausted. I plan to grow some cabbage for you to eat."
Today I saw that rural man, at such an old age, still helping his grandson and granddaughter-in-law set up a stall.
Mr. Gu felt that his life was too decadent.
You have to find some work, you can't just eat and die.
It just so happens that the shoes I bought today are suitable for work.
