Chapter 702: Are there any brothers like this?
Today is Monday, Jiang Xia called the hospital to look for Ruan Tang.
During the lunch break, Ruan Tang quickly came from the office and returned a call from Jiang Xia.
"On New Year's Day, your second brother and I discussed not going back to Beijing City. We will go during the winter vacation."
It was mainly her decision, and Zhou Chengsen followed her arrangements.
Now he comes to the city to see her every week. If she has to work on Saturdays and Sundays, he will bring fresh seafood to cook a meal for her. If she has a day off, he will take her back to the village and take her out to sea to fish or go fishing.
Sometimes when she got off work at night and had the next day off, she would take a bus to see him and do nothing but have lunch with him.
If he had a dinner party in the evening, she would have lunch with him and then take the bus back to the city.
If he didn't have any social engagements after get off work, she would wait for him to get off work, and then he would take her back to the city.
While waiting for him, she would go for a walk around the town or sit in the green flowerbed of his unit and read a book, and time passed quickly.
Zhou Chengsen asked her to sit in his office, but she refused because she was afraid it would have a bad influence on him.
Both of them had jobs and were not in the same place, so they could only see each other once or twice a week. Their life was dull, but Ruan Tang felt at ease.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "That's fine."
Ruan Tang whispered, "Wait until the report is approved before taking him back to Beijing to see my grandparents."
She has already filed a marriage report.
After getting approval, I went to get the marriage certificate and then took Zhou Chengsen back to meet my parents.
Fortunately, her grain household connections were all in her workplace, not in Beijing, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get the certificate secretly.
But she still hasn't convinced Zhou Chengsen to get the marriage certificate first and then meet his parents.
Jiang Xia understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Come on."
Ruan Tang's eyes were full of smiles, and she was bathed in happiness: "The leader said that he finally waited for me to submit a marriage report, and it will be approved as soon as possible."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
Ruan Tang smiled: "It won't be too late to congratulate after it's approved."
Jiang Xia laughed: "I will congratulate you again when the time comes."
Ruan Tang: "I just can't get your second brother to agree to go with me to get the marriage certificate first, and then meet my parents."
Jiang Xia: "...I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. This is too rude. Second brother won't agree to it."
Ruan Tang: "It's my request, so it's not impolite. Getting the certificate first can save a lot of trouble."
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Don't worry, my second brother is not afraid of trouble. He is best at dealing with trouble. If he really does this, it will be too disrespectful to you and your family. He won't do this. Don't think too much, just leave everything to him!"
Ruan Tang couldn't think of how to convince him. Zhou Chengsen was very stubborn on matters of principle.
He just asked her to file the marriage report first and leave the rest to him.
Jiang Xia changed the subject: "I'm off on the 6th, and Yingying and the others are on the 13th. When do you plan to come over?"
She said she would take a few children to Beijing for a trip during the winter vacation, and see what time to arrange.
"It depends on when the report is approved. If it is approved earlier, we will leave on the 14th. If it is approved closer to the Chinese New Year, Chengsen said we can wait until the Chinese New Year to go. But he said that when Yingying and the others have their winter vacation, he will take them to Beijing City to play for a few days."
Jiang Xia: "No need for you to make an extra trip, brother. We will go back on the 7th and pick up the child then."
Zhou Chenglei and Factory Director Zhou agreed to collect the boat on the 9th, and the food factory would open on the 9th, so Jiang Xia had to go back no matter what.
"It would be inconvenient for you to take the children back again. We can take care of them."
"It's okay, I'm used to it. When I get back, I'll ask the kids if they'd like to come to Beijing after the Chinese New Year so they can have a few more days to play."
The family is busy at the end of the year, but they don’t have to go out to sea in the first month of the lunar year. They can go back to Beijing after the New Year and stay there for a few more days.
Although many tourist attractions in Beijing are not open now, as the capital, it is still worth taking your children to visit more often.
After chatting with Ruan Tang for a few more words, Jiang Xia hung up the phone.
Next is the exam week. The students are very busy, and Jiang Xia is also very busy.
In order to cope with the peak sales season, Jiang Xia contacted factories everywhere to get goods. She attended classes during the day, and Zhou Chenglei went to the factory to ship the goods back.
After the items were transported back, Jiang Xia would lead people to sort and arrange them properly after class.
Because neither Liu Weizhen nor Li Qiufeng had ever opened a store and had no experience, Jiang Xia needed to teach Li Qiufeng how to do it personally.
After learning this, Liu Weizhen and Li Qiufeng can lead people to do it together in the future.
Not only Jiang Xia is busy, the whole family is busy.
Jiangxia helped two children's clothing factories clear out their stock and imported a batch of children's clothing.
The shop is big, selling ready-made clothes on the left and children's clothes on the right.
As the New Year approaches, many people who come to Beijing to work will buy clothes to take home for the New Year. Even if they may not want to buy clothes for themselves, they will buy them for their children, wives and the elderly at home. After all, many workers only go home once a year during the New Year.
Therefore, the clothing store's business was very good, and Li Qiufeng was too busy to handle it alone during the day.
The landlady introduced four people to help, and she also helped.
In the evening, four more college students were recruited. Jiang Xia went to help even though he had no classes, and even Zhang Fuyan came to help.
My second aunt and grandparents would sometimes bring the children to the store during the day to help watch over the shop. Their main job was to keep an eye on it and make sure no one could steal anything.
It's almost impossible to handle so many people.
Not only their shop is doing well, but all the shops on the street and shopping malls are doing well too.
The streets are full of people.
More and more every day.
But compared with the clothing shops in the nearby streets, the shop in Jiangxia is the busiest, with more than 200 to 300 customers every day, and the number is increasing day by day.
Because their clothing prices are competitive. Jiangxia gets its products directly from factories, so the prices of its clothing are a few cents to a few yuan cheaper than other brands.
Every customer who comes into the store will buy one or two or even several items, which makes the purchase several yuan cheaper than in other stores.
So some customers come in to take a look, don’t buy, and then go to other stores to look around and come back to buy.
Excluding luggage, scarves, silk scarves and other accessories, Jiang Xia can make at least one yuan and at most five yuan for each piece of clothing.
Because the weather is cold, most people who come to buy clothes will buy coats, and they can generally make two to five yuan per coat.
So these days Jiang Xia can earn over a thousand yuan every day.
It cost more than 15,000 yuan to open the shop and studio, and Jiang Xia earned back half of it.
Li Qiufeng and Liu Xiuzhen earned less than Jiang Xia, but on average they still earned around three hundred yuan a day.
They were busy until the 6th, and Jiang Xia was going home tomorrow.
Zhang Rui had already known from Zhou Chenglei that they would be returning home on the 7th.
So I took a rest on the 7th, intending to see Li Qiufeng off, otherwise we would have to wait until the Chinese New Year to see each other again.
As a result, when Zhang Rui arrived at Zhou's house, he learned that his little cousin and second aunt were still in Beijing and would not go back so early. He was relieved.
At nine o'clock in the evening, he went to pick up Li Qiufeng after class.
When I got home, my second aunt prepared a midnight snack.
While eating supper, the second aunt and Jiang Xia talked about what happened in the store this evening: "Today, there were a lot of people at the end of the working day. A woman bought a coat and then tried to steal a cashmere sweater that was more expensive than the coat she bought. Xiaofeng found out, and she loudly said that she paid for it! She also said that Xiaofeng wronged her and waved her hand to slap Xiaofeng in the face."
Zhang Rui was so nervous when he heard this that he looked at the people around him: "Was he beaten? Do you recognize that person?"
Jiang Xia frowned: "Is my cousin okay?"
My second aunt waved her hands and said, "It's okay! Xiaofeng dodged it, so we didn't get hit! Then we had a quarrel, and a customer testified that he saw her only pay for one coat, and we marked the laundry labels on all the clothes that we paid for. Finally, we wanted to take her to the police. She got scared and said she remembered it wrong, so she left the cashmere sweater and ran away."
There are many people in the shop, and they face all kinds of customers every day. This situation is not the first time they have seen it, so they thought of writing the radical of the recipient's last name on the washing label of the paid clothes in front of the customers.
Zhang Rui didn't expect to be beaten for buying clothes. He said to Li Qiufeng, "I'll take a day off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'll help you sell clothes. Let's see who dares to do this again!"
Zhou Chenglei was sitting next to Zhang Rui. Hearing this, he said, "Didn't you say that we should go to the airport tomorrow?"
Zhang Rui refused to admit it: "Did I say that? You must have heard me wrong! Besides, is it more important to send you to the airport than to make money by selling clothes for my sister-in-law? Sister-in-law, am I right?"
He finally got two days of rest, can't he be allowed to develop a relationship with his little cousin?
Thinking back to when they got engaged, he took the initiative to offer to help him with the mission so that he could go back more often to cultivate his relationship with his sister-in-law when he had time.
He has a child now and is happy! Don't you think that you are still a lonely brother? Are there any brothers like this?
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I think selling clothes is not as important as sending us to the airport!"
Zhang Rui: "...I can't take Xiaodong's job! Xiaodong, go send your brother-in-law to the airport tomorrow!"
Jiang Dong hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, I will take you there tomorrow."
Zhang Rui immediately picked up the wine glass and toasted Jiang Dong: "Xiaodong! You will be my brother from now on! My real brother! If you need help with anything in the future, just ask! I will go through mountains of swords and cauldrons of oil for you! When you and Xiaoyan get married, I will make you a big red envelope!"
Jiang Dong: "That's not necessary. Brother Rui, you can be my best man! Bring your brothers along!"
Zhang Rui was sad after hearing this, and said faintly: "...Xiaodong, why did you curse me?"
Jiang Dong was confused: "I didn't."
Zhang Rui: "Then why did you ask me to be your best man? Do you think I won't get married as early as you?"
His goal is to get married next year! Jiang Dong is still slow and honest: "Isn't this the truth? You don't have a partner, I can marry Xiaoyan after I graduate."
Everyone in the room laughed! Zhang Rui: “…”
It hurts! Humph, he must get married earlier than Jiang Dong. He has already made plans. During the Chinese New Year this year, he will follow Zhou Chenglei to visit his grandparents and express his feelings!
Jiang Xia smiled and changed the subject, saying to Li Qiufeng, "Cousin, second aunt, if you want to go home early, you can call me and I will book a flight for you."
Zhang Rui immediately asked: "Aunt, little cousin, when are you going to go back?"
Li Qiufeng and her second aunt planned to work until the clothing store closed before going home.
The second aunt said, "No, we won't go back early. We will go home on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year. This time I want to make a lot of money and return home in glory!"
My second aunt made a bold promise.
Second Aunt and Li Qiufeng plan to take advantage of this New Year Goods Festival to make a fortune.
My second aunt plans to set up a stall to sell clothes at the train station, as the train station and bus station are the places with the most people.
She hopes to earn more money and build a new house back home.
Zhang Rui immediately said, "Come on, auntie, you can do it! I'll book the plane tickets for you when the time comes."
So the next day Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei took their grandparents home first.
Jiang Dong will also be back a little later.
One is the company's business, and the other is the research institute's business. Moreover, Zhang Fuyan's parents will return to China in a few days, and Jiang Dong plans to have dinner with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law before going back.
A big chapter, with more than 3,300 words. What I owed last night is also in this chapter!
