Chapter 140 Chapter 140 1st update
The Labor Day holiday, together with the previous Sunday, is a rare two-day holiday.
It is a tradition in China that holidays are all about shopping and eating. On Sunday morning, Chen Moer left her daughter who had just woken up to her father, and went to the farmer's market with Fu Mingze to buy a lot of things. They bought a chicken, a few pounds of meat, a few fish, and other miscellaneous things.
When I got home, I found that Fu Mingzhuo had sent a bunch of things over from Yongning Hutong, including chicken, meat and so on.
Chen Moer invited her brother-in-law to have dinner at home, and then the couple took their daughter and Fu Mingzhuo back to Yongning Hutong.
He did not come empty-handed either, as he brought two fish, a small basket of mushrooms picked by the members themselves, and a ginseng.
As soon as we entered the room, the old lady said, "What are you carrying? You two are students now. You have to support our little Liangliang with the small monthly allowance! Don't bring anything next time. We are happy when you come. You even brought ginseng. How much does it cost!"
He completely ignored the fact that Fu Mingze actually had a lot of money saved.
It makes the young couple sound like poor people who can only rely on subsidies to raise their children.
The ginseng was taken from the treasury by Shen Moer.
Fu Zhiyuan and his wife have a good salary, and the old man and the old lady also have a pension. Moreover, the Fu family is obviously wealthy. It is estimated that they used some method to hide a lot of wealth in the early years, and now the family has everything they need.
Shen Moer thought about those who had been sent down to the border areas before, and their bodies were in poor condition, so they needed supplements.
It’s in the treasure house anyway.
Anyway, Fu Mingze knew where she got it from.
As for how to explain it, let Fu Mingze figure it out himself.
Fu Mingze didn't explain at all, and said directly: "Let Aunt Hu make ginseng soup every day, and you can nourish yourself well."
The old lady thought he got it from somewhere, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's make up for it."
She is naturally happy that her grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law are filial.
It was a rare occasion that the whole family was together, so little Liangliang, held by Fu Mingze's hand, demonstrated how to learn to walk in front of his great-grandparents, grandparents, and uncle.
The little guy was fat from eating too much. When the weather got hot, he wore less clothes. His chubby belly made his clothes bulk up tightly. He played happily in the yard, swinging his arms and legs.
"Oh, our little Liangliang is so cute."
"Yes, look around the streets, and there is definitely no one as cute as our Liangliang. I see a boy in Yard 15 who is older than our Liangliang, but he's skinny and not even as tall as our Liangliang."
"The grandson of the old Shao family, looks like his parents, skinny and monkey-like."
A few elders mindlessly praised their own children while putting down their neighbors' children.
Shen Moer felt a little sympathetic towards the kid from the Shao family in Yard No. 15. It was foreseeable that he would be the target of the old Fu family's bullying for a long time in the future.
Who is it because the only one who is about the same age as little Liangliang in Yongning Hutong is the "skinny monkey" from the Shao family.
Without knowing it, Xiao Liangliang had successfully completed the task of entertaining her parents with colorful clothes and made several elders laugh.
In the evening, Aunt Hu cooked a large table full of dishes.
Xiao Liangliang has her own bowl and chopsticks here. The old man also had someone make her a chair with wooden blocks on the front, back, left and right, which is slightly higher than the adults' chairs, so the little one can feel very involved when eating at the same table with the adults.
Fu Mingze put a piece of tofu from the fish soup into her small bowl, picked out the bones from the fish and put it into her bowl. Xiao Liangliang took a small spoon and fed herself with some difficulty.
This scene made the elders so cute that they kept saying that their great-granddaughter/granddaughter was so smart and capable.
After dinner, little Liangliang was taken by his grandfather to entertain his parents for a while, and then followed his parents back to Sigu Lane.
The next day, Shen Moer went to the department store early in the morning.
The department store is especially lively during holidays, with people jostling each other. As soon as Shen Moer squeezed into the electrical appliance area, she ran into Wu Yanan and Guan Qianqian. The two of them came from school together.
"We just got here too, but squad leader, we just saw someone carrying an electric fan out. And many people were saying that the department store had nice electric fans for sale for free. Just now many people were asking each other about the electric fans!"
"Really, a lot of people are asking where to buy colorful electric fans!"
Shen Moer glanced forward and could only see from a distance that there seemed to be a lot of people crowded in front of the electric fan counter.
"Let's squeeze over and take a look."
When they squeezed to the electric fan counter, the people in the queue were afraid that they were here to cut in line, so they raised their voices and said, "Please move back and don't cut in line!"
Wu Yanan said hurriedly: "We are not here to buy electric fans, we are from an electric fan manufacturer and came to check the sales situation."
An old lady in the queue said, "You guys don't need to look at it anymore. There are so many people waiting in line. How can the sales be bad? I heard that there are not many products in this batch and we need to buy them as soon as possible. You guys, if you have the time to come and see the situation, you might as well go back to the factory and make two more electric fans."
Some people also said: "This electric fan does not require a ticket, and it looks good. You will make a profit if you buy it. There must be people who will buy it. There is no need to look at it."
Deputy Section Chief Li at the counter also saw Shen Moer and the others, and waved his hand, signaling Shen Moer and the others to follow him.
After taking Shen Moer and the others to a place with fewer people, Deputy Section Chief Li excitedly said, "This electric fan is very, very, very popular! Everyone said they had never seen such a beautiful electric fan. The salesperson told them that it had a defect. Some people didn't believe it at first, saying that they couldn't see it. Later, when they saw it, they all said that it didn't affect it at all. In short, it's selling very well. There are more than 200 units in total, and I'm afraid more than half of them will be sold today!"
What Deputy Section Chief Li didn't say was that a guy from another department store came to him and insisted on asking where they got their products.
Even though the employees of these department stores have stable jobs and their performance has nothing to do with their own interests, they all have a strong sense of collective honor and they often compare themselves with other department stores to see who has the best performance and whose products sell well.
The man was on holiday and had nothing to do, so he went shopping with his family. Unexpectedly, he found that the department store here was extremely crowded, and there was even a long queue in front of the electrical appliance counter.
When we squeezed in and took a look, we were even more amazed: the electric fans sold in Wanquan Road Department Store were completely different from any other ones on the market!
Wanquan Road Department Store has no moral principles!
So I immediately shamelessly went to Deputy Section Chief Li to inquire about the source of the goods.
Will Deputy Section Chief Li tell him?
Of course not.
This matter certainly cannot be concealed. You will find out if you inquire carefully. It is their ability that they found out by themselves, but in the case of Deputy Section Chief Li, they will keep it secret for as long as possible.
The Capital University Machinery Factory doesn’t have many products to begin with, and it’s hard enough to supply a department store. If someone else comes to share, how much will they have left?
At this time, Deputy Section Chief Li admired Wang Liya very much. As he said, otherwise she could have been a manager. Such vision and foresight are really admirable.
