A group of aunties who love to gossip about other people didn't expect to be caught gossiping by a man. They were too guilty to look at him and respond.
Song Guoliang glanced at him coldly and warned in a deep voice, "If there's a next time, I won't be polite."
The group of women didn't dare to breathe. Only after the people walked away did they curl their lips, grit their teeth and curse in a low voice.
Du Xiaoying commutes between the county town and home every day. She doesn't care about the nonsense in the village at all and is busy doing business to make money.
On weekdays, there are only the couple, Da Ya, Wu Ya who is in elementary school, Er Ya who is already in high school, and Si Ya who is in junior high school in the county at home. The two sisters can only come back on Sundays.
.....
Gradually, many brave people came to the station with baskets on their backs to order food such as steamed buns and dumplings.
Fortunately, Du Xiaoying and her daughter are good at cooking, so even though there are a few more people selling noodles around them, their business has not been greatly affected except at the beginning.
In the early years, Du Xiaoying cooperated with Hu Lao Da in the pastry business during the winter, which improved the living conditions of her family and also earned her a lot of money.
In addition, due to the distance, the couple discussed and decided to open a small restaurant in the county town, and the address was chosen near several factories.
Since they had money, they simply bought a shop and opened a small restaurant. The mother and daughter were in charge of cooking, and Liu Dajiao would still go from door to door selling the goods.
The shop was simply painted with putty, kept clean and bright, and furnished with a few tables, chairs and benches.
"Wow, it's so bright." Liu Dajiao couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaoying, when will it open?"
Du Xiaoying nodded with satisfaction and said, "It will officially open next Monday."
Liu Dajiao was happy for his friend from the bottom of his heart and was full of pride. He had no other thoughts at all and only wanted to make good money.
.....
The restaurant officially opened, and many workers from nearby factories had already seen the restaurant being renovated, so many of them came to try the food out of curiosity.
Du Xiaoying immediately greeted him with a smile, "Comrade, we have steamed buns, milk tea, and tea eggs for breakfast... What would you like to have?"
The young man in blue work clothes looked in the direction of Du Xiaoying's finger and saw the menu and price list on the wall. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Comrade, give me two meat buns, a bowl of tea and a tea egg."
Many workers who were working nearby came to the store one after another. Du Xiaoying was busy greeting customers and collecting money, while Daya was responsible for serving the dishes.
Fortunately, everything was prepared in advance by Fenglai Taohua at home, so it was just a matter of loading the plates, which the mother and daughter could handle.
When it was lunchtime and there were many people, Song Guoliang would come over after work to help out, and everything was done in an orderly manner.
The family only has time to eat after the people in the store are busy.
Du Xiaoying felt sorry for her husband who had to work a whole morning and come over to help out, so she hurriedly said, "Go to the inner room and get some sleep. You still have to work in the afternoon."
Song Guoliang didn't insist and took the time to go in and rest.
There are many factories nearby, and workers in this era have very popular and stable jobs. With money in hand, they naturally don't want to spend too much. The food in the restaurant is not expensive and tastes good, so it attracts many customers. There are always a lot of people at meal times.
Du Xiaoying saw that the business in the store was gradually stabilizing. Now Feng Lai Taohua was helping out in the store, so she had some free time.
I thought it was time to put my plan of going south to Guangzhou to wholesale clothes and then buy goods to open a clothing store on the agenda.
I also want to take this opportunity to take the children south to see the world, and the store will be temporarily handed over to Feng Lai Taohua and his wife.
Song Guoliang was worried about the mother and daughter, so he simply took a leave of absence and accompanied his wife and daughter on the train heading south.
Because there is no direct train from Inner Mongolia to Guangzhou, the family first went from Inner Mongolia to the capital, and visited San Ya in the capital. Then they took the train from the capital to Guangzhou, and it took a week to arrive in Guangzhou after a long journey.
As soon as I got off the train, I was hit by the damp and stuffy heat.
"Mom and Dad, it's so hot and humid here."
Seeing her daughters sweating profusely, Du Xiaoying felt that she herself was not much better, feeling hot all over.
The family went out and found a restaurant to eat. They ordered local specialties, and Du Xiaoying also ordered a few bottles of cold soda.
After a few sips of ice-cold soda, the stuffiness in my body was relieved a little.
At that time, Guangzhou was a mixed crowd, and the couple was worried about their children sleeping in a room alone, so they gave them many warnings.
"Don't sleep too deeply at night. Make sure to lock the doors and windows before going to bed. Be careful of pickpockets breaking into the house. Call your parents if anything happens."
The family saw many people in the guesthouse having their money stolen while they were sleeping, or having their money defrauded by gangs.
After receiving the goods, I didn't dare to delay any longer and rushed to the train station directly, waiting for the return train.
Even so, they did not dare to slack off along the way, and even took turns watching over the goods while taking a break.
When they returned to the county, the whole family smelled so bad and were carrying so many bags that anyone who didn't know them would think they were refugees from famine.
Shuanzi Erniu was helping to clean up the dishes in the store when he saw a few disheveled people rushing in. He was startled and was about to kick them out.
"Brother Guoliang, sister-in-law?"
"What?" Erniu Shuanzi's hands trembled as he recognized it and hurried forward to help carry the things.
After the family had eaten and drunk their fill, they quickly went to the bathhouse to take a long bath, then went home and fell asleep.
.....
"Don't miss it if you're passing by! Today is our grand opening sale! Everything in the store is 20% off, buy more, get more free..."
"Sister, come in and take a look at the clothes, skirts, and accessories. They are all fashionable goods in Guangzhou. They will definitely make you the most fashionable girls."
Lesbians love to dress differently from others, so they were all excited when they heard this and came in in groups of three or four to look at the clothes.
The two new girls hired in the store hurriedly suppressed their pounding hearts, recalled the words they had spoken during training, and recommended them to customers entering the store.
....
The store was a hit for a week after its opening, and business was booming. Everyone who came into the store bought at least one piece of clothing.
Du Xiaoying and the two little girls were so busy that they never rested. The smile on their faces never faded. When they thought about getting a commission for every piece of clothing sold, they were full of motivation and didn't feel tired at all.
"Goodbye, comrade." The salesperson smiled as he sent out a customer carrying large and small bags. Then he saw a young girl with a beautiful and cool appearance, tall figure and outstanding temperament coming over. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, comrade. What can I do for you? I can recommend something to you."
The girl nodded and walked into the store.
"Comrade, our store is full of the most fashionable clothes in Guangzhou. You have an outstanding temperament, you can try them on—"
"mom."
