She couldn't take away business from Zhao Guiying selling fruits, so she asked Chen Lishu for help in coming up with other ideas. Besides, she didn't dare to think about it because her children were too young before. Now that they are a little older, her mother-in-law can also help with the children, so she can make some money.
Supplement household expenses.
"Brother and sister, why don't you come with me? I just have a companion so that we can talk on the road. Besides, I can't transport much goods by myself. With your help, we can get more. If we make money, we'll split it in half.
That’s it.”
Zhao Guiying is not being polite, but is telling the truth. After selling things for such a long time, she has summed up experience. She is alone without a helper. She is not flexible in her mind. Sometimes when there are too many people coming to buy things,
She became confused and made miscalculations.
Lin Xiaoyue waved her hands repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, you have been doing this, how can I steal your business?"
Chen Lishu smiled: "I think Sister-in-law Guiying's idea is good. If the two of us work together to sell, we can go to places with more people, such as train stations or passenger terminals. If business is good, we may be able to make two trips a day."
When the two of them heard her words, their eyes suddenly lit up. In the past, Zhao Guiying was too afraid to go to crowded places. If Lin Xiaoyue was there to take care of her, it would be no problem.
The more I thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and since both of them were impatient, they immediately took Chen Lishu and the children to a nearby village to collect plums.
…
"Batalion Commander, did you call me?" Wang Dazhu asked in a low voice after entering Gu Xingdong's office.
"Sit." Gu Xingdong pointed to the stool opposite the desk and looked at his bandaged arm: "I heard from Li Weimin that you submitted your discharge application."
This time Wang Dazhu won the second-class personal merit, but his arms could no longer withstand high-intensity training. Originally, he was relying on Li Xingdong to transfer him to the administrative office or the cooking class, but this morning Li Weimin told him that Wang Dazhu
The discharge application has been submitted.
"Yes." Wang Dazhu nodded: "I don't know how my arm will recover yet, so I won't cause trouble to the organization."
Gu Xingdong: "Have you thought about what you will do after you retire?"
"I can do whatever I want. I've thought about it. With all my strength, I won't worry about finding a job. If I can't do it, I can go back to my hometown and farm. Don't worry, battalion commander. I can support myself no matter what."
Gu Xingdong nodded: "Since you have thought about it, I won't persuade you anymore."
Seeing Wang Dazhu getting up and preparing to leave, he thought of something and suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute."
Wang Dazhu turned back in confusion: "Batalion Commander, what else can you do?"
"As for your sister-in-law, I can't be by her side all the time, and I don't worry about her safety. Why don't you stop going out to look for work, and go directly to her place after your injuries are healed?"
After Gu Xingdong finished speaking, seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, he thought it was because he was unhappy, and felt that his tone might not be right, so he added: "If you don't want to, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Woo..." Wang Dazhu suddenly wiped his eyes and said: "Batalion Commander, you are so good to me, woo woo."
He was just an insignificant soldier. He didn't expect that Gu Xingdong would be so considerate of him. Knowing that he had no job, he still wanted to introduce him to Chen Lishu. I was so touched.
Gu Xingdong: "..."
"Battal Commander, you are my reborn parents, no, reborn father. From now on, I, Wang Dazhu, will work as a cow and a horse to repay you, woo woo."
This old man had a rough voice, and people who didn't know better would have thought he had done something to the person. Gu Xingdong was really bothered by his noise, so he said with a dark face: "Stop peeing on me, get out of here!"
"yes!"
Wang Dazhu reflexively performed a team salute, wiped his face again and turned around to go out.
It wasn't until he left the door of Gu Xingdong's office that Wang Dazhu realized belatedly, "Mother, he is going to be under the control of his sister-in-law."
Who is the sister-in-law? The daughter-in-law of their battalion commander, the highest-ranking person in the battalion commander’s family.
There are so many people under the battalion commander, but from now on my sister-in-law will only have him. If you think about it, isn't he better than Li Weimin and the others?
I was secretly enjoying myself when I suddenly bumped into Li Weimin who was going upstairs to deliver materials.
"Dazhu, why are you having fun here alone? You're grinning from ear to ear. Did the battalion commander secretly give you money?"
When Wang Dazhu saw him coming up, his waist was much straighter than usual: "It's better than giving money, but it's a pity that I can't tell you."
"Tch, it's quite mysterious, so just keep it to yourself, I'm leaving now."
He originally thought that Li Weimin would ask a few more questions and then he would just say it. Unexpectedly, he turned around and walked away. Wang Dazhu suddenly dropped his head in disappointment.
…
When Chen Lishu, Zhao Guiying and Lin Xiaoyue came back from the village, each of them carried a lot of things.
The other two people each carried a basket of plums. In addition to buying some plums, Chen Lishu also bought an old hen and more than twenty eggs from the village.
When we got downstairs, everyone separated and went home to cook.
For dinner, Chen Lishu prepared pancakes and made chicken soup. She mixed the noodles first and was about to go out with the chicken when she saw Gu Xingdong coming back and hurriedly waved to him: "You're back just in time, you should kill this chicken."
"Brothers and sisters, do you want to eat chicken tonight?" Wu Zheng followed closely behind, saw the chicken in Chen Lishu's hand, and came over with a smile.
"Don't ask questions here knowingly." Gu Xingdong took the chicken from Chen Lishu's hand: "I'm not even greedy. This one is not enough for me to stuff between my teeth."
Wu Zheng curled his lips: "The gap between the teeth is quite big."
Watching the two bickering, Chen Lishu couldn't help but smile.
Before Gu Xingdong could hit him with the knife, Wu Zheng ran away very wisely.
"...I told Wang Dazhu today that he will help you look after the store after he recovers from his injury. Although he is a bit stupid, he is a real person and his physical training is among the best in their company. I can feel more at ease with him here."
While eating, Gu Xingdong spoke.
Whenever he thought about how Chen Lishu would suffer if he didn't come back that day, he still felt frightened.
Hearing Gu Xingdong's words, Chen Lishu's eyes instantly lit up. She was currently short of such a person, but she had never met the right one. She didn't expect that Gu Xingdong would arrange it directly.
"Wang Dazhu? Is he the tall and strong one who came to our house for dinner once before?"
"Yeah." Gu Xingdong nodded and took a sip of chicken soup. It was so delicious that he almost swallowed it.
Seeing that he liked drinking, Chen Lishu stood up and gave him another spoonful.
"Mom, can I go out and play after dinner later? Brother Yanchao and the others invited me to watch TV at Bai Erpang's house."
Chen Lishu glanced at the sky outside, then raised her hand to look at the time. It was almost seven o'clock. There was no entertainment at this time and everyone went to bed early. The children would definitely be noisy and disturb others' rest after a while, so she thought for a while and said:
"It's too late today, let's go tomorrow."
"Okay." Ruirui nodded obediently: "Actually, I don't particularly want to watch TV."
How could an adult not know the child's thoughts? Chen Lishu touched his head and turned to discuss with Gu Xingdong: "Why don't we also buy a TV at home?"
