Old Madam Qiao was reborn—seven days before her whole family was sent to the countryside.
Looking at her family, still safe and sound—her son and daughter-in-law alive, her two young gran...
"Here we are, here we are."
"We're finally here."
"I'm so tired."
"I've never been on a train for so many days. I used to think it must be a wonderful experience, but now I find it so tiring."
"That's right. I used to envy others for being able to ride the train. I thought it was so fun. But now it's my turn to ride the train, and it doesn't seem interesting at all."
"Yeah, it looks good, but you'll understand only if you ride it yourself. Farming isn't as tiring as taking the train."
"Hahaha, that's absolutely right. If I had to choose between taking the train and farming, I'd choose farming."
"This train is fine for short trips, but long ones are really hard. The best ones are the ones we take to Hai City, or from Jing City back to our hometown. It only takes a day and a night."
"Yes, yes, it's not that riding the train is boring, but you can't sit for too long."
"Fortunately, we finally arrived in Jing City."
…
After sitting on the train for almost 24 hours, Bai Jianmin and his companions not only had sore buttocks, but also back pain. They were stuffy in the carriage and felt uncomfortable everywhere.
It was not until they finally drove into the Beijing Railway Station that they felt like they were alive again.
The train stopped quickly and everyone got out of the train carrying their luggage.
"Dad, Mom, here, we are here."
"Brother, Uncle Su, Auntie, we are here."
"Mai, here, here."
As luck would have it, Su Ze, Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Wanhua, and Song Luoshu were standing in the same carriage as Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru. They were discovered as soon as they walked out of the carriage.
Qiao Jiuru, Su Huaiyuan, and Mai Bu heard the familiar voice, looked up and laughed.
"Have you found the truck?!"
Su Huaiyuan hurriedly went to ask his eldest son for advice. When they were at Yangcheng Railway Station, they called Su Ze in advance and told him the time of the train, the train number, when it would arrive in Beijing, the approximate amount of goods, and asked him to prepare the large truck.
"Dad, I've found it. I'll be waiting at the train station. It looks like it's in that direction. I'll just move the freight over and load the truck."
Su Ze heard on the phone that trucks could be driven to the platform to deliver goods at the Yangcheng train station, so he came to the train station to inquire about it. Then, the staff at the train station told him that trucks could be driven to the area closest to the platform and then move the goods there.
Su Huaiyuan looked in the direction that his eldest son pointed and found that it was an exit that was close to the platform and was not open to the public. There was also an iron gate that was closed. After communicating with the staff at the train station in advance, he could open it and ship the freight out.
On the other side, Qiao Jiuru led everyone to the freight car, took out the consignment note issued at Yangcheng Railway Station, and the conductor opened the car.
Bai Jianmin and his team immediately went in to move the goods, one large sack per person, and they finished moving everything in less than ten minutes.
At this time, Su Ze, Zhou Wanhua and Song Luoshu came over pushing a cart.
"Brother Jianmin, put the goods on the cart and push it, it will save effort."
Su pushed the cart in front of Bai Jianmin and asked him to put the goods on the cart, while telling him the purpose of the cart.
Bai Jianmin immediately and obediently put a large bag of goods into the cart. He had never seen this thing before.
"Put another pack in."
Su Ze asked him to put one more bag in. This cart was made bigger, so it was no problem to put one more bag in it.
Bai Jianmin quickly put a large bag of goods in, and then saw Su Ze immediately pull up the cart and leave in front. He quickly reached out to steady the two large bags of goods.
When Mai Bu and Song Luoyun saw this, Ma Xiao followed suit and quickly took the carts from Zhou Wanwan and Song Luoshu.
"There are two more in the car."
The secretary shouted quickly that none of them could push a cart over because it was too big and difficult to push.
Others who didn't have carts simply carried the goods on their shoulders and walked towards the exit where the truck was standing with great vigor.
The cart was only pulled twice, and the rest was carried directly to the truck by others.
Half an hour later, the truck, along with the people and goods, delivered all of them to the courtyard where Bai Jianmin and his friends lived.
Old Feng brought the two children, Mr. Song and his daughter, Zhou Wanyun and the others were already waiting in the yard, and they had even prepared the meal.
A group of people hurriedly pulled all the goods into the house in the yard and saw the truck driver off, so that they could take a deep breath.
"You guys are finally back. The meal is just ready. Let's eat first and we'll talk after we're done."
Old Feng kept greeting everyone. They got up early in the morning to buy vegetables. After Su Ze and others set out to pick up people at the train station, they packed up their luggage, washed, cut vegetables, and cooked. Finally, they looked at the time and stir-fried the dishes.
Look, everything is going according to the steps he arranged.
Hearing that it was time for dinner, Bai Jianmin and the others didn't hesitate. Some started moving tables, some started moving chairs, and some started serving dishes.
After more than half an hour, when everyone had eaten and had their fill, Qiao Jiuru held a meeting for them.
"We bought nearly 10,000 pieces this time, and we sold them quickly before the weather got too cold. If we can't sell them all, I plan to sell some of them in bulk."
The summer in the north is not as long as in the south. In about a month, we will have to wear thin coats, so we have to sell all these goods quickly.
Her words made everyone nod in agreement. This was what they had been worried about all along the way, afraid that the goods would be left in their hands. No, they would be weighed down.
"Aunt, we're going out to sell goods tomorrow."
Bai Jianmin and the others responded immediately, and were a little impatient. After all, they could make money as long as they sold it, and it was money they earned themselves.
"Okay, you'll definitely get a share. By the way, Wanhua and Wanyun, have you finished selling the goods from Haishi?! How about the master?!"
Before this, Qiao Jiuru wanted to know the sales of the goods he had purchased in Hai City before.
"We don't have many left now, only about ten or so pieces, and dozens of toys."
Zhou Wanhua, Zhou Wanyun, and Zhou Lin just arrived in Beijing this afternoon. They were reluctant to come here and wait in vain yesterday, and just wanted to sell as much as possible, so they were very familiar with the goods in their hands.
"I have some toys left over, so don't worry about them. I can sell them anytime. I don't have many clothes left either, about ten or so. It's not a large quantity, so there's no need to rush. I can sell them slowly. I've made money on the previous ones anyway, so I can also make money on the remaining ones."
As soon as Zhou Wanhua finished speaking, Mr. Song took the initiative to respond. He said happily that he didn't care about these leftovers at all.
"What about you guys?!"
Before they left, there were still more than 200 pieces of clothing, nearly 100 pieces, and more than 100 toys in total. It has been more than ten days now, and I don't know how the situation is.
"Mom, there are about sixty pieces of clothes left at home, and not many toys either, less than ten."
Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan go out to sell clothes every day. They are not as good as Qiao Jiuru, but they can still sell more than ten pieces a day, and sometimes more than ten pieces.
When it comes to toys, it's Old Feng who leads his two sons, Donglu and Donglu. They often sell them at the park entrance or in busy places, and it's no problem for them to sell more than ten toys a day.
After hearing this, Qiao Jiuru nodded continuously. There weren't many leftover goods, which meant that all the money was profit, so there was no need to worry at all.
"This time we brought back the most fashionable clothes and things from Hong Kong City. If you want to sell the goods, you have to be bolder and wear these clothes as models before selling the goods."
What? !
As soon as Qiao Jiuru finished speaking, Bai Jianmin and the others looked at her in disbelief.
