Qiao Jinling was mixed with joy and sorrow. She pushed open the door and walked to her own canteen. The shop along the street was only separated from her home by a door, and the area was not large. Sun Huifang was busy packing the goods. She originally thought it was a matter of sitting and making money.
I didn't expect it to be so trivial.
"Lingling, have you finished your homework?"
Sun Huifang didn't even raise her head, and glanced sideways at her daughter. The little girl didn't know where she was getting so worried, and she frowned again with a straight face.
"Well, I've finished writing. Mom, I'll help you arrange the goods."
Qiao Jinling shook off the messy thoughts, it was just making money, there was nothing to worry about.
This place can be called a grocery store, with everything for food, drink, and clothing. The business is pretty good. Anyway, the cost is small and the profit is small, so it can be considered a long-term solution.
Qiao Qianqian rides a motorcycle every day, traveling between Beiheyan Village and Anqing City, delivering group purchases door to door. People have spare money and naturally want to eat fresher food. His scope of radiation is getting wider and wider.
, Today, he is no longer the young man who jumped up and down happily after earning one dollar from selling mushrooms.
The room was a little stuffy. The family of three moved out a folding table and set it up at the door of the store to eat.
"Is there any soy sauce?"
A woman's voice sounded faintly.
Qiao Jinling looked up and saw that it was Liu Qingqing, the woman who lived next door.
"Uh, yes, there is a bottle. I'll give it to you."
Sun Huifang was a little embarrassed. Compared with the woman in front of her, she felt ashamed. They were both women, but her life was getting rougher and rougher. But this woman was even dressed as elegantly as if she were attending a banquet.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I accidentally broke the bottle. Do you have a bottle here?"
Liu Qingqing's voice is soft and delicate, and it sounds nice. She doesn't sound like a local, but sounds like she comes from the south.
"Yes, I'll call you."
Sun Huifang got up in a hurry, walked through the shop door, walked to her kitchen, poured soy sauce into a bowl, filled a bottle of soy sauce, wiped it carefully with a clean rag, took it out and handed it to Liu Qingqing.
"A total of 2 cents."
"good."
Liu Qingqing's face is as plump and juicy as the green vegetables that have been watered in the summer, especially her eyes, which are like the brightest star in the sky peeking through the window in the middle of the night. She is really lazy, relaxed, bright, confident, and flamboyant
The delicate and charming performance is vivid and vivid.
Qiao Jinling was shocked by this exquisite beauty. When Liu Qingqing turned away, she was still looking at it.
"Huifang, bring me a packet of salt."
He Hongli was pushing a small bamboo cart. In the bamboo cart lay Dabao, wearing only a two-string vest and bare buttocks. He was chewing a shapeless apple, drooling and making it sticky.
"OK."
Sun Huifang stood up again to get some salt for He Hongli. He Hongli grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plastic bag, lay on the counter, curled her lips and said, "Is that Liu Qingqing here just now? Look at how cool she is, buy some soy sauce."
You’re even dressed up in a fancy way, and you don’t know who to show it to?”
"He Hongli, don't say that, I think she's a nice person. Here's your salt."
Sun Huifang felt that it was inappropriate to gossip about people like this and wanted to send He Hongli away quickly.
"Hehe, the old rule is to keep accounts. At the end of the month, go to my old Liu Jie. He usually digs and searches for money to give me. If you ask for money, he will be embarrassed and won't give it."
He Hongli threw the salt into the bamboo cart. Dabao seemed to have a new toy. He lost the apple and started to chew the salt bag.
Qiao Jinling felt that they were both women, so why was there such a big gap? Compared with Liu Qingqing, He Hongli felt like green vegetables that had been thirsty for a hundred days and were as wilted and lifeless as no one had watered them.
"Then I'll go and you can eat."
He Hongli grabbed another handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into her pocket, pushed the bamboo cart, and walked away.
"Are you familiar with this He Hongli?"
Qiao Xiangqian then asked his wife that he didn't like this woman who loved to take advantage of her and gossiped behind her back. He was acquainted with her husband Liu Kaijin, but he didn't like this family that much.
"It's just so so. I often come here to measure oil and buy vinegar, and I have to grab two handfuls of melon seeds every time."
Sun Huifang was also helpless. When she opened her business, she couldn't turn people away, let alone her neighbors.
"Qianqian, do you think that Liu Qingqing is good-looking? More beautiful than me?"
Sun Huifang thought of the "little green cabbage" that was soaked with water, and felt a little jealous for a moment.
"Mom is the most beautiful. Mom is the most beautiful mother in the world."
Qiao Jinling rushed over, hugged her mother's neck, and acted like a baby.
"It's just that in the eyes of me and my daughter, you are just a flower, and ten Liu Qingqings combined can't compare to you."
Qiao Qianqian quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Haha, you two are exaggerating. Liu Qingqing is really good-looking and cleans up neatly. If not, I have to wash my face and apply cream."
Sun Huifang didn't care about the father and daughter, and turned around to go home and tidy up herself. It didn't matter how sloppy a woman was when she was alone, but once she had another imaginary target in her heart, she could immediately become angry.
Qiao Qianqian and Qiao Jinling looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It seemed that Sun Huifang would have to explode from time to time in the future.
As the sun and moon passed by, the leaves on the streets withered and turned yellow in the autumn wind. Anqing City was unknowingly wrapped in a large area of yellow. Some leaves turned deep red, and some stubbornly retained a touch of green. The sky was deep and high, with clouds like
Clean and soft as cotton.
Qiao Jinling has already put on the thin sweater Sun Huifang had just knitted. This is the most pleasant time of the year. Neither cold nor hot, neither thirsty nor hungry. There is suddenly an abundance of fruits and vegetables. Qiao Qianqian is also busier. He has to go back and forth throughout the day.
Make two trips, and take advantage of the harvest season to deliver more.
Nowadays, more and more crops are grown in rural areas, especially buckwheat, which has become a rare thing for urban people. It is cool in nature and can be used to make steamed buns and noodles.
Other fruits such as red dates, pumpkins, cowpeas, and walnuts are very popular. Now that Qiao Xiangqiang is returning to Beiheyan Village, the villagers regard him as the God of Wealth. When a motorcycle honks at the entrance of the village, they know that money is coming.
Sun Huifang also made a space for her own knitted hat, and occasionally used a sewing machine to make some clothes for others. However, no matter how beautiful the hat was when it was mixed with a pile of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar pumpkins, it lost a bit of charm.
"Moving forward, why don't we rent the one next door? I think it's always been empty. Let's rent it here. I'll set up a clothing store specifically. There will be a door in the middle and we can take care of both stores. It will be more convenient."
Sun Huifang had long wanted to set up a special place, but she couldn't bear to see her hat stained with the smell of soy sauce and vinegar.
"It's quite good. There's no place to put the things I made. It's messy everywhere. If we can really take down the next door, it will definitely be good."
Qiao Xiangqian also agreed, but Liu Qingqing never rented. He had met several tenants and was disappointed with Liu Qingqing's place.
"I went to Liu Qingqing and said: If you can rent it, rent it. If you can't, forget it."
Sun Huifang still wants to try.
"Mom, I'll go with you."
Qiao Jinling volunteered, and she also wanted to find an opportunity to visit Liu Qingqing's home.
Unexpectedly, they were rejected ruthlessly by Liu Qingqing without even entering the door. After all the good words, they just refused to rent!
