Chapter 383 The Time Has Come
After this, Zhao Huiyue joined the Lin and Song duo.
I don’t know if it was Lu Yuxiu’s action at the beginning of the school year that saved Lin Xia from a lot of trouble. Even if someone wanted to step forward, they would be reminded by the people around them.
Time will pass quickly when you are immersed in study. As the National Day holiday approaches, people in school start planning their holiday arrangements.
Song Huili invited Lin Xia to go on a vacation, but Lin Xia refused because she had already planned to go home.
But before the holiday came, the situation suddenly changed.
Lin Xia realized that the opportunity had come when she was queuing for food in the cafeteria one day and heard two people chatting behind her. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the more she listened, the more familiar it sounded. Until she heard the name of the protagonist, she suddenly realized that the movie "Homesickness" had already been circulated in a small circle.
Lin Xia made a prompt decision and went to Gaudi Street that weekend. After a round of walking, she finally found a store in the corner that specialized in selling pants. Perhaps due to its remote location, the business was not very good.
Lin Xia walked into the store and looked around, but the boss didn't react at all.
"Boss, how much are these pants?" Lin Xia asked loudly.
The boss, who was facing away from the store, was startled by the sound. He turned around and saw Lin Xia was stunned for a few seconds. After he came to his senses, he stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to buy some pants?"
Lin Xia reached out and picked up a pair of black pants next to her. "Boss, how much are these pants?"
The pants in my hand are not only baggy and loose, but also the old-fashioned ones with openings on the sides. If there is no belt to fasten them, they will fall apart.
"Six dollars a piece." The boss said the price.
Lin Xia frowned when he heard that, and the boss was a little at a loss.
"What about this?" Lin Xia put down the pants in her hand and picked up the white pants on the pole next to her. This pair of pants was very conspicuous among the black, gray and green pants.
The boss suddenly changed his frowning face and said with a sad look on his face: "Five dollars a piece."
He was able to open this store because he had the support of a clothing factory. The production director of the factory was his brother-in-law. He heard that these trousers were popular on the other side of the strait, so he bought them and used his brother-in-law's relationship to get the factory to produce a batch. He had the ambition to make a fortune.
But who would have thought that none of the pants had been sold since they were put in the store. Thinking of the backlog of goods in the warehouse, Gao Zhixin became worried and he was afraid that his brother-in-law would beat him to death.
Lin Xia raised her eyebrows. She thought the price was not bad for the goods, but of course she would bargain a little.
"How many of these pants do you have?"
After not coming to Gaodi Street for half a year, Lin Xia discovered that there had already been a wholesale business here, with many modified small cars pulling goods all over the place.
The boss looked at Lin Xia in surprise and asked hesitantly, "Do you think these pants are good?"
"It's okay. This is the first time I see a zipper opening from the front." Lin Xia pretended not to care, but what she said made Gao Zhixin's eyes hot.
This is where he was ruined. Some people were interested in these pants before, but when they saw that the zipper was open in the front, they all looked down on them.
When Lin Xia saw the boss's strange expression, she muttered to herself: This boss is so weird, it looks like he's going to jump up and shake her hand.
"Yes! How much do you want?"
Lin Xia wanted to leave, but when she thought that this was the only store that sold these pants, she finally held back, "If I want more, can you give me a discount?"
The boss said without hesitation, "If you want more than 500, I can give you 4.50 yuan a piece."
"Four dollars a piece, I want eight hundred." Lin Xia bargained. She knew how much money her family had, and she hadn't even used half of it.
When Gao Zhixin heard the number Lin Xia reported, his eyes widened. His first reaction was disbelief, and then he suddenly felt that he was saved.
"Okay!" Thinking that he would not be beaten by his brother-in-law, Gao Zhixin agreed firmly.
Lin Xia doubted whether she had bargained too little and showed a hint of hesitation on her face.
Seeing this, Gao Zhixin immediately urged: "It's agreed upon! When will you come to pick up the goods? There is only a part of it in the store. If you are in a hurry, I can give it to you first." He looked like he was afraid that Lin Xia would regret it.
Lin Xia thought about it and decided not to be too harsh. She might have to deal with him again in the future, so she nodded reluctantly: "I'll come and get it in three days."
The two of them signed the agreement and paid the deposit, and then both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xia turned around and went to the post office to make a phone call to her second brother Lin.
"Little sister, how come you have time to call me? Is something wrong?" Lin Jianjun was still a little surprised when he received the call.
"It's okay, everything is fine." With eight hundred pairs of pants, Lin Xia could only be the first person in Guangcheng to try something new. After that, everyone knew how to eat crabs, so she couldn't get much advantage.
"Do you have the courage to ask for leave and come to Guangcheng?" Lin Xia went straight to the point. Since she was making a phone call in a public place, she couldn't say much.
When Lin Jianjun heard this, he immediately asked anxiously, "What happened to you?"
"I'm fine. There's an opportunity to make money now. There are certain risks, but the opportunity to make money is great." Lin Xia said in a steady voice, "Don't tell my parents yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Jianjun suddenly lost his composure and was convinced that something must have happened.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll buy the ticket and go there right away." Lin Jianjun agreed without saying a word.
Lin Xia put down the phone and turned to go to the residential area near the school, preparing to rent a house first, as there was no place to store so many goods.
Fortunately, there was no such thing as school district housing at this time. Lin Xia found a clerk from the street office, and with the guarantee from her unit, Lin Xia was not worried about renting a problematic house.
After giving away the candies and two packs of Double Happiness cigarettes bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Xia successfully rented a small courtyard, paid three months' rent, and got the key.
The next day, Lin Xia packed her luggage and went home. With the weekend and the three-day National Day holiday, Lin Xia was able to stay at home for two nights.
Lin Xia left school in the morning and when she arrived home, no one was at home. She didn't know where the children had gone to play, and there was no one in the family yard.
Lin Xia didn't go out to look for it. She took out a pair of bell-bottom pants, took off the dust cover on the sewing machine, and prepared to start modifying the pants.
The size M in the store was a bit too loose for her, and the size S was a bit short, and she couldn't achieve the effect she wanted. Thinking that she could just get home, she decided to make some alterations.
While busy, Lin Xia heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from outside. She immediately recognized that it was the footsteps of her own child.
Then there was the sound of a key turning in the door, and Lele's puzzled voice said, "Strange, I remember the door was locked."
"Maybe you forgot again." Ningning complained about her brother without any politeness.
As soon as she opened the door, Lele saw the shoes on the ground outside her house. She turned her eyes and saw Lin Xia sitting in front of the sewing machine in the living room. She exclaimed, "Mom!"
Ning Ning behind her heard this and hurriedly reached out to push Lele in. Then she saw Lin Xia and ran over happily: "Mom, you're back!"
Lele was angry but could not say anything and silently closed the door. An An patted his brother's shoulder and went towards Lin Xia.
Suddenly the room was filled with laughter and joy, and it was very lively.
