Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. Li Jianren arranged everything in the store, and then took two big bags of New Year's goods to Liu Wanting's company. He asked him to take them back by himself. It was not convenient for him to send them there. During the New Year, there are always various relatives, subordinates, and friends.
When someone comes to your door and brings a gift, you always have to reciprocate the gift.
During the Chinese New Year, although Liu Weiming does not accept gifts, he will still accept some gifts that express his meaning, otherwise it will appear too cold. Li Jianren has prepared some affordable gifts for their family, and the gifts are not heavy.
, everyone looks good.
Liu Wanting thought for a while and didn't say anything. She just felt that this younger brother was really good at getting things done. No wonder the business was doing so well.
Early in the morning on the New Year's Eve, the siblings started to load the van they called with large and small bags. They were all New Year's goods for their families, as well as gifts for relatives who were going to pay New Year's greetings. In previous years,
The conditions at home can only be said to be average, not good, nor bad. But this year is different. When the family makes money, they always have to go to relatives' homes for fun.
I prepared eight legs of lamb alone and bought dozens of kilograms of beef. As for other things, there were also a lot of milk, tea, cigarettes, wine, etc. I brought two boxes of my grandpa’s favorite Moutai back, and even more Chinese cigarettes.
Prepare 10 items.
The car drove very fast, maybe the driver also wanted to go home early to celebrate the New Year. In less than half an hour, he had already arrived home. At this time, the village was already filled with a festive atmosphere, and every household was busy, cleaning, posting couplets, etc.
.
The car stopped in front of his house, and the whole family was there. Li Aiguo quickly stepped forward to help unload the goods. He was busy for a while before he stopped.
"Mom, should grandma's New Year's goods be delivered today or should I bring them over on the second day of the Lunar New Year?" Li Jianren asked Chen Guifang.
"Bring it over during the New Year greetings. Now we are sending it to each house. How long will it take?" Chen Guifang thought for a while and said, "Your uncle and aunt's business is pretty good this year. They have made a lot of money. The family should not be short of anything."
But we still have to do what we should do, and don’t let others gossip.”
"Don't worry, Mom, I know it well. They helped us a lot in the past. Now that our conditions are better, we will definitely be able to help as much as we need to. Their children are still young now. We'll talk about it later. If you need me at work,
I will try my best to arrange it."
"Ah Ren, how is the business of your stores?" Li Aiguo was still a little worried.
"Hey..." Li Jianren sighed.
The whole family was shocked and thought something was wrong. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Don't be afraid, we still have a lot of money at home."
"Pfft..." Li Yanping couldn't help laughing.
"Business is so good, we are busy, and we don't have time to recruit people. So I sigh. Alas..." Li Jianren suppressed a smile.
"Get out of here, you brat, let's get slapped." Grandpa came up and kicked Li Jianren gently.
"Haha..." The whole family also laughed.
"Aren, I have something to tell you. The agent you worked for before, only a few relatives are still cooperating with us. The rest have basically found their own way. A few relatives, mainly because of
We basically don't make any money from them, so we follow them. Therefore, I basically stopped this business and let them do it on their own." Li Aiguo told Aren the matter.
"It's okay, Dad. I have expected it. This is normal. Just help a few relatives buy some goods for them. You and grandpa will take care of the supermarket in the town, which will be enough for the family to eat and drink.
, there is nothing to worry about, I have made arrangements in the county. I am also planning to enter the city next year. Of course, I just have this idea at the moment, and how to do it needs careful planning."
"Haha, your dad and I are much more relaxed now. We just visit a store, and we can take turns if we have something to do. I go to the park for a walk in the morning, then make two Tangqiao sesame cakes, a bowl of soy milk, and then go to the store. It's not busy.
How can I live a comfortable life if I find a few old men to play cards when I'm here?" Grandpa Li Ruiqin was very happy.
"If your grandma and your mother didn't want to give up the land at home, I would have wanted to rent it to others for farming." Li Aiguo continued.
When Li Jianren heard that the two elders were so relaxed and happy, he felt that everything was worth it.
Everyone divided everything up and put it in the house. Then, the whole family was busy pasting up the Spring Festival couplets. "Tai Gong Jiang has no taboos here." He had to climb a ladder to the main beam and paste them up. They couldn't be crooked and they had to be in the right place.
.
"Dad, I'm wondering when our family can build a small villa. The house now is a bit small. With so many people, it's a bit crowded, especially in summer. The separated rooms are like steamers."
Li Aiguo pinched off the cigarette in his hand, "Well, your grandfather and I have also discussed this matter. We have this idea. It is indeed a bit cramped for our family of six to squeeze into this room."
"Dad, since you and grandpa both have this idea, let's build a house. I'll find someone to design it. The engineering team also has a ready-made one. Let grandpa apply to the village for the application report. He is familiar with it there. If possible, my idea
The land next to the bamboo forest is also bought and can be turned into a small garden. We just need to pay a little more, but the procedures must be complete."
"We are now a family of six. Even if we have separate household registrations, we can apply for a homestead. Besides, we are willing to pay more to prevent the village from suffering a loss." Li Jianren talked about his thoughts.
The current homestead land is definitely not enough to build a villa, so you can only apply in the village. The land in the village is not valuable now, and there are many vacant places. Some people who want to build a house don't even bother to contact the village.
Just make it directly, as long as it doesn't bother others, no one will say anything.
The family was busy until noon, and finally finished eating the dumplings. In the afternoon, they started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, worshiping gods, etc. They had already bought a bunch of fireworks and were waiting to be set off.
In the evening, everything was finally settled and everyone sat at the dinner table. Grandpa opened the Moutai wine his grandson brought back, smelled it, and laughed, "I haven't had it in a long time."
"Come on, let's have a drink if you don't want to drink. Let's raise our glasses. Let's clink them together and wish for a better year ahead." Grandpa, as the head of the family, stood up first and raised his glasses.
The whole family also stood up and congratulated each other.
The dinner ended with a burst of laughter. The very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was stacked one on top of the other. It was impossible to eat it, but it was still being piled up.
After dinner and washing the dishes, the family sat in the living room again, turned on the TV, and waited for the arrival of the 1995 Spring Festival Gala. There is not much entertainment life in the countryside, it is just eating, playing cards, and visiting each other. All year round,
Rarely meeting people, gathering together during the Chinese New Year and so on.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the wave of firecrackers and fireworks gradually subsides, and the new year begins. In rural areas, children get up early, put on new clothes, and go from house to house to wish each family a happy new year. For children
It is said that the arrival of the Spring Festival is very happy, especially the aspect of giving out red envelopes.
It's a pity that Li Jianren and his brother are already over this age. They just went to several nearby houses to pay New Year greetings and say a few auspicious words. Then the adults asked: How are you studying, how are your health, etc. Sister?
The two brothers also greeted each other politely.
A few days passed slowly in this leisurely time. Among them, I still had to take time to visit my relatives' houses for New Year greetings, and then I went to the city to pay New Year's greetings to Liu Wanting's parents. I also stopped by various stores to have a look.
, express condolences to employees who work overtime, and send red envelopes.
It wasn't until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year that everyone gradually recovered from the feeling of the new year and started to go to work again. Li Jianren also returned to the county town to sort out the situation of each store. At the same time, he went to Liu Wanting to discuss building a villa at home and let her go out.
Drawings, and later construction. Of course Liu Wanting agreed wholeheartedly.
There is still about a week left before school starts, and this period of time can be regarded as a relatively leisurely time for Li Jianren. All stores are relatively normal, and the sales situation is also good. In about two months, Ruixiang Building can be arranged for renovation.
, the design issue has been discussed with Liu Wanting many times and has been finalized.
As for the matter of dividing a special area for clothes, shoes, hats, leather bags, etc., it is also on the agenda. In the next two days, I will go to Changyu City with Wu Chengcai and others to communicate and cooperate with several manufacturers I have contacted before.
