Chapter 82 Sharing Gifts

◎Break your legs◎

After purchasing goods for the store, it becomes much easier to choose clothes for my own home.

You don’t have to think too much, just buy the ones you like. The main thing is that there are so many nice-looking styles of clothes here.

Wei Xuan was so dazzled by the selection.

Wei Xuan was buying things frantically in the front, but Jiang Che who was following behind was suffering.

If you leave an address for the goods you buy into the store, you can ask the boss to pack them and send them directly to Beijing, but if you choose clothes for your family, you have to carry them back by hand.

Seeing the bag in his hand getting heavier and heavier, Jiang Che finally couldn't hold on any longer. He pulled Wei Xuan who wanted to continue shopping and said, "Wife, it's almost time. If not, we still have the whole afternoon. Please return these things in my hand first. I can't carry them anymore."

Wei Xuan was indeed a little reluctant to leave, but seeing Jiang Che sweating profusely from exhaustion, with his hands red from being strangled, she instantly felt distressed.

"Okay, go back and get me a few bags. I wonder if Sister Fang and the others have finished their shopping."

...

...

Fang Jing and Hong Zhen had finished shopping twenty minutes earlier and were waiting for them at the door.

Seeing that Wei Xuan and Jiang Che finally came back, Fang Jing called a car nearby and instructed Hong Zhen to start putting the shopping items into the car.

Then he called Jiang Che: "If there's not enough space in the trunk, just put it in the front. We should be able to fit in if we squeeze in."

It was nearly one o'clock when we got back to the guesthouse. The four of us were very tired and had no appetite to go out for dinner. We just had a quick bite nearby and went back to our room to lie down.

It was not until the evening that the four of them went out for a good meal, and then they took the train back to Beijing the next day.

It was already Wednesday when they arrived in Beijing. Jiang Che's vacation would end on Thursday and he would have to go back to work in the factory.

So as soon as he returned to Beijing, he didn't even have time to rest. He asked Wei Xuan to pack up the clothes he bought for Bian Qianqian and her children, and took these things to find Cheng Shao.

I was in such a hurry when I went to the South before that I didn't have time to tell Cheng Shao. Now that I'm back, I should at least say hello to him.

As a result, when he arrived, Cheng Shao was not at home. Only Bian Qianqian was at home. So Jiang Che couldn't stay any longer, so he just passed the message to him and left.

I passed by the post office, went in to pick out the children's bicycle I bought for my daughter and took it back home.

As soon as Wei Xuan got home, she took a shower and went to bed. She had just fallen asleep when Jiang Che came back.

Seeing that it was still early, only ten o'clock in the morning, Jiang Che thought about it and decided to follow his wife's example, take a bath and go to bed.

It was an hour and a half later when Wei Xuan woke up.

After being away for a few days, there was nothing to eat at home. Wei Xuan looked around the kitchen and finally decided to make a pot of porridge and bake some egg pancakes to eat with it.

After the meal was ready, he went into the house and called Jiang Che to get up and eat.

After the two of them had finally filled their stomachs, they began to divide the gifts they brought back from the south.

These things are not difficult to divide. First, find the clothes for your family of three. The rest will be either for the Jiang family or the Wei family. Anyway, the clothes are similar and whoever can wear them can wear them.

After packing up, Wei Xuan wanted to go to the store to take a look.

"I've been away for a while. I'm going to settle the bills. I'll also call my brother and settle their bills as well."

Jiang Che nodded: "You still have money in your hand, right?" He knew that his wife had taken all the money from home when they went to the south. Since his wife paid for everything, Jiang Che had no idea how much they had spent.

"There's still a little bit. Even if there isn't, the sales revenue from the past few days is still with Xiaomei, so it must be enough."

"Okay, let's go together." Jiang Che pointed to the two bags of clothes on the ground and said, "Take them all with you. After you settle the bill, go to the post office and make a phone call. I'll go and mail the things while I'm at it."

One of the two packages was to be sent to the Wei family, and the other was to be brought to the Jiang family.

The two of them took their things to the store first. Wei Xuan settled the bill while Jiang Che sat beside her waiting for her.

After Wei Xuan settled the bill, the two of them took the money and clothes and prepared to go to the post office. When they passed by their own house next door, Wei Xuan stopped.

She asked Jiang Che: "What do you think about me opening a clothing store here?"

Jiang Che followed her gaze and looked over: "Here? Selling vegetables on the left and clothes on the right is not appropriate, right?"

"I think it's good," Wei Xuan said and continued walking forward. Although selling vegetables and selling clothes don't seem to go together, in fact, as long as there is popularity, it's the same anywhere. If it were twenty years later, this might not work because people tend to follow the crowd.

A store like this that opens alone in a place, even if it is right next to your home, will not have very good business. Most people would rather go somewhere farther away when buying clothes and go shopping in places with many stores.

But there are not many clothing stores now, so there are not so many stores for you to choose from. Therefore, the more traffic there is, the better the business will be.

Seeing that his wife seemed to have made up her mind, Jiang Che did not try to persuade her. After all, he did not know much about clothing stores, so he just asked, "The goods will arrive in a few days. If you really plan to open a store here, do you need to prepare for the decoration?"

It was precisely because of this consideration that Wei Xuan did not have the extra time to find another store.

But the decoration...? The decoration of a clothing store is different from the previous ones. It has to be beautiful and make people want to buy at first sight. This is not an easy task and the cost is not small.

But she really doesn't have much money on hand now. She spent 40,000 yuan on buying a house and less than 13,000 yuan on purchasing goods. In addition to the train tickets to the south and some miscellaneous expenses, she now has less than 3,000 yuan left.

I still have to pay employees’ salaries in two days, which will cost at least a few hundred yuan, so only about two thousand yuan will be left.

If it was just a simple matter of building a shelf and painting it white, it wouldn't cost much, but Wei Xuan also wanted to install a few headlights in the clothing store. With the light, the clothes would look better.

Wei Xuan had never seen this kind of lamp for sale in Beijing, and wondered if there was any in the south. Wei Xuan planned to go back and ask Fang Jing, hoping that it would not be too expensive. If it was too expensive, she would have to give it up for the time being and buy it later when she had money.

Alas, Wei Xuan sighed in her heart. The money was still too little and it would be gone after a little spending.

When they arrived at the post office, Wei Xuan did not continue talking to Jiang Che.

Instead, she asked him to go in and send the things and money first, while she called the Wei family outside to let them know.

Mother Wei was very happy to receive the call from her daughter. Knowing that they had just returned from the south, she asked her how her trip was and whether she had a good time.

"Happy. I also bought a lot of clothes for you and now I'm sending them back to you. When I have time in the future, I will take you and dad to visit the south. It's really different from here." If there is a chance, Wei Xuan also wants to take Wei's mother to Hong Kong for a visit. Unfortunately, they don't have money now. They will wait until the clothing store makes money.

When her daughter went out to play, she still thought about bringing her something. Wei's mother's face was full of wrinkles when she smiled happily, but her words were full of complaints: "You can't buy clothes anywhere, but you only think it's troublesome to bring them back from so far away."

"How can they be the same? The clothes over there are nicer. You'll know when you see them. Oh, mom, I can't tell you much. I have to pick up the kids from school soon. Please tell my brother that I'm sending them the money for the previous two deliveries together this time. Tell them to pay attention to it."

When she heard that her granddaughter would be late for school, Wei's mother didn't bother to say more: "Okay, go pick up the child, I'll tell him, and then hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Che's things had been sent out from the post office. Wei Xuan saw that time was really running out, so she asked Jiang Che to go back to the Jiang family to deliver the things, and she went to pick up the child alone.

"By the way, don't forget to bring back the child's things."

"knew."

When Jiang Che arrived at the door of Jiang's house, he happened to see Jiang's mother rushing out.

Seeing her son, Jiang's mother stopped and asked, "Are you back? Where's Xiaoxuan? Did you go to pick up the child?"

"I'm here," Jiang Che nodded, "I'm here to bring you something."

Upon hearing that her granddaughter was picked up, Jiang's mother breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to walk home with Jiang Che.

"When did you come back?"

"Just this morning, my dad hasn't gotten off work yet, right?"

"No." In fact, if it weren't for picking up her granddaughter, Jiang's mother wouldn't have gotten off work yet.

She pointed at what Jiang Che was holding: "What did you buy that's so big?"

Jiang Che moved the things towards her and motioned for her to look at them herself. "These are the clothes Wei Xuan bought. I went to the clothing wholesale market over there this time and saw a lot of clothes that were not available in Beijing, so I bought some and brought them back. You can share them with my sister and the others."

Mother Jiang opened the bag and flipped through a few items. They were indeed styles she had never seen before.

"It looks pretty good. Is it expensive? Why buy so many? It's fine to buy one for the child as a token of appreciation, but how come there are also some for adults?"

"Not expensive," Jiang Che sat down on the chair, "Mom, pack up Yuanyuan's things. I'll take them with me when I leave later."

Jiang's mother was reluctant to let her granddaughter go after only living with them for a few days, but her son and daughter-in-law had already returned, so what else could she do? She had to go back to the house to pack her things.

When Jiang's father came back, he saw Jiang Che sitting in the living room and said, "Come with me to the study," and left.

Jiang Che was confused. What could be so serious that he had to go to the study to discuss it?

After entering the study, Jiang's father took a sip of tea and saw his son following in. He put down the teacup and started to settle accounts with him.

"What on earth did you go to the South for this time when you asked for leave?"

What do you do? This question made Jiang Che even more confused.

Section 72

"Didn't I tell you that I was going to the South to have some fun? I didn't do anything else."

Father Jiang stared at him for a long time before saying, "Don't you really want to go there to make some quick money?"

After Jiang Che left, Jiang's father was worried and asked someone to find out about the situation in the south. He found out that many people went there to do smuggling business in order to make money. He was afraid that his son would follow those people and do illegal things, so he asked this question.

Jiang Che felt a little guilty when asked this question. His purpose of going to the south was indeed not very simple. But he changed his mind and realized that he really did not do anything this time. So he immediately became confident and said, "I just went there to have fun. I also brought gifts for everyone."

Father Jiang looked him straight in the eyes and made sure he was not lying before letting him go. However, he still warned him: "It's better to do this. If you let me know that you did something bad over there, I will break your legs directly."

Jiang Che was frightened by the fierceness in his father's tone. He trembled slightly twice and reached out to touch his thigh. Did the old man listen to someone's nonsense again? What was so serious that he wanted to break his leg?
