When she learned that she had cancer that year, Meng Shulan filed for divorce from Han Ning.
Han Ning knelt in front of her hospital bed with tears streaming down his face, saying he wouldn...
Chapter 43 Sister, don’t be silly!
He Saijun’s stall is only open on market days, so she, like the mother and daughter of the Meng family, has to move her things here early in the morning.
But her house is close to the town, and it only takes about ten minutes to get there by bike.
Normally, Jose-jun doesn't have to worry about these things. Her husband will first use his bicycle to pull the things to the eaves of the supply and marketing cooperative and put them there. She can just slowly finish her breakfast and come over to set up the stall.
Seeing José-Jun, the mother and daughter of the Meng family got out of the car and greeted her.
There happened to be an acquaintance, so He Jinqiu asked her, "Saijun, can we set up a stall here? Is there no one to manage it?"
He Jinqiu pointed to a small corner next to the supply and marketing cooperative.
There happened to be a small angle there, a little concave.
The clothes rack made by Mengfude is not very big, and it fits perfectly there without blocking the road. It is also next to the supply and marketing cooperative, so there is a lot of traffic.
"Setting up a stall?"
Jose was confused by the question, looked at the strange shelf on the donkey cart, and asked: "What kind of stall are you going to set up?"
Since this year, more and more people have come to the town to set up stalls.
After the brigade commune was disbanded at the beginning of the year, He Saijun set up a stall here. She has seen many people selling various things, such as fruits and vegetables grown at home, eggs sold on the street, and even worse, some people even specially got a cart to sell them.
For example, the couple who sells steamed buns and steamed buns, no one knows where they get the flour from, but they go to the town every day to sell them in the past two months. Because they don't need tickets, their business is so good that all the buns are sold out before noon.
Hesaijun is a relatively knowledgeable person. After running his business for more than half a year, his thinking has changed a lot compared to before.
When she first set up the stall here, she felt a little embarrassed looking at the people coming and going.
After all, in this day and age, having a stable job is the serious thing, and doing business in public is somewhat looked down upon.
But that was in the past. After making money, Jose no longer thought that way.
Seeing more and more people doing business in the town recently, she even thought of letting her son set up a stall.
Once you make money, you definitely want to bring wealth to your family.
But this is only limited to the few people in one's own family. For others, the poorer the better, so that those people will envy and admire you.
In He Saijun's heart, her sister He Jinqiu's family is just like other people, and they are the kind of people she cares about very much.
Once upon a time, Jose thought that it didn't matter if his sister had a capable son, as life in the village was still hard. Unlike himself, he had a husband and son who loved him, and he was also capable and could make money in the town. He ate well and dressed well, and was often envied when he went out.
Although she doesn't have a capable son, she is better than her sister in all other aspects. All in all, she lives a more comfortable life.
Of course, this is based on the premise that my sister continues to maintain the status quo. The family has no source of income and has to dig for food in the dirt. Her little niece won't be able to pass the grade even if she repeats the year, so my sister will have to work hard all her life.
Jose Jun has even thought of his sister's life path for the next 20 to 30 years. Her husband is incompetent at work, her two daughters are mediocre and incompetent, her son is looked down upon by her daughter-in-law's family, she divorced and returned home after retiring from the army, and she herself was plagued by illness at an old age. In the end, she fell ill and had no money to treat her illness, and died in pain.
My elder sister He Jinqiu's life has been bad since she was young, and this is the fate that should have happened.
But what is going on now?
What were the mother and daughter thinking? They actually wanted to set up a stall in the town! What kind of stall would they set up?
How did you know that you can set up a stall now and make money easily?
Jose was stunned, staring at the three people, not knowing how to react.
He Jinqiu said: "I got some pants and I'll sell them."
"Pants? What pants?"
Jose didn't even set up his own stall and came to the Meng family's donkey cart.
At this time, the things on the car had already started to be unloaded.
There was no one at the corner next to the supply and marketing cooperative, as the mother and daughter of the Meng family had observed before.
The reason I asked Jose-kun just now was actually just a casual remark. I also wanted to say hello to her and tell her that I was going to set up a stall.
After all, they are relatives, and their stalls are close to each other, so they have no choice but to talk.
The Meng family's trousers were packed in a large bamboo basket and wrapped tightly with cloth. When He Saijun asked about it, He Jinqiu took out a pair to show her. It happened to be the lighter khaki color in this batch of goods, which is what later generations called khaki.
In today's simple times, this color is undoubtedly bright and few people wear it.
That is why it becomes leftover goods from the factory.
However, in the near future, khaki will soon become popular. Compared with bright red and green, this color is fashionable and solemn, and it is easy for people to accept.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
People didn’t wear it in the past, not because they didn’t like it, but because of the times and it felt bad.
Now that there are no such problems, naturally those who are brave enough will try it.
After getting married, Jose-kun started using a sewing machine to make clothes. He is still very sensitive to these things. When he saw this, he became more and more shocked.
How could they think of selling pants of this color? It was really bold, but surprisingly good, making her want to buy a pair.
Seeing his sister staring at the pants in a daze, He Jinqiu smiled and said, "Just try it out. I don't know if it will sell well."
She also thinks the color is too bright, but her two daughters say it looks good. They have been feeling depressed for years and really want to improve the look with something bright.
Jose Jun: "Sister, how much goods did you get?"
He Jinqiu didn't say anything, and He Saijun thought that the pants were brought back by them from outside.
He Jinqiu: "Not many, only about 40 or so."
In the past few days, from getting familiar with the sewing machine to cutting and making, the mother and daughter were busy from morning to night and made more than 40 pairs of trousers.
Jose's expression was exaggerated. "More than 40 pairs is not a lot? Sister, where did you get these pants? They must have been stuffed into your hands on purpose! Hey, sister, you didn't get cheated, did you?"
Cheating? What are you cheating about?
He Jinqiu was about to explain, but He Saijun slapped his thigh and said, "Sister, don't sell it. Go find that guy and return these goods to him. The colors are so colorful, and what's going on here at the waistline? They don't look like elastic pants, and the belt pants don't have ear buckles. It's obvious that they are defective products made by the garment factory and they are given to you because they can't be sold.
Sister, the clothing factory can’t sell it, do you think you can? Don’t be silly, return it quickly! "
He Saijun acted as if he was concerned about them, and this "touching" consolation successfully stunned the mother and daughter of the Meng family.
Seeing that the three of them were looking at her with puzzled and surprised eyes, He Saijun heaved a sigh of relief and said proudly, "Did I get it right?" Then he turned to He Jinqiu and said, "Sister, if you want to do business, tell me! Why are you messing around? If you are not careful, you will lose both your money and your life."
