Chapter 141 The Strange Old Lady
Wen Zhu helped his elder brother arrange a meeting time with Qian Guoqiang, and then he retired after completing his mission.
Taking advantage of his free time during the summer vacation, Wen Zhu set up a small stall again, selling face cream.
Although it is also sold in my master's clinic, there is no concept of promotion and sales these days.
So even though it is sold in medical clinics, few people actively ask about face cream in medical clinics.
In everyone's opinion, a Chinese medicine clinic is for treating illnesses and prescribing medicine. How could it be related to facial creams and skin care?
So Wen Zhu set up small stalls in various locations. Besides offering trial and sales opportunities, the most important function was to advertise the product, letting people know about it and where to buy it. This way, she would have a steady customer base and wouldn't need to set up stalls outside.
Thinking about helping my mother take care of the children.
Just put the two of them together.
Wen Zhugang's trial model is very novel, but only a few people are willing to try it. However, most people who have tried it will buy a can to take home.
After all, her face cream was ten yuan a bottle, which wasn't cheap, so the stall wasn't very busy.
She would help her mother when she had free time, which would also reduce her mother's workload.
As soon as I handed the packaged cold noodles to an older sister, she continued to help collect money.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of an old lady looking over here from far away around the corner.
Wen Zhu raised his eyebrows.
Do you want to eat but don’t want to spend the money?
Can’t afford it but still craving it?
Or is he a spy sent by a competitor to gather information about the enemy?
The old lady looked to be in her seventies. Her eyesight was still clear, but her legs seemed a bit unsteady. She limped along, and every few steps she took seemed to take a lot of effort.
Wen Zhu pretended not to see her, and his mother was too busy to look and didn't notice the old lady's existence at all.
But Wen Zhu had observed them privately without making a sound. While the other party was observing them, she also looked at the old woman calmly. After observing her for a long time, she felt that she was not a spy.
After all, she was more focused on herself than on the steps and ingredients for Jiang Qin's cold noodles.
Although he looked old, he was dressed neatly, but his clothes were a little worn and white from being washed.
I guess life isn't easy.
That’s right, now is the time when we can have enough food to eat and not starve to death.
An old man like this might have some unspeakable secrets.
She wasn't so kind as to show concern for a poor old man and give him something for free.
But when she looked at this old lady, she always felt that she seemed familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
But she searched her memory for a long time and still had no impression of the old lady.
Since you have no impression, it means you have never seen it.
But the look in the old lady's eyes when she looked at him clearly revealed joy, sadness, guilt and embarrassment.
From the moment Wen Zhu noticed it, the old lady had been standing at the corner of the wall for nearly an hour.
It seemed that he had difficulty walking and he leaned against the wall to rest from time to time.
Wen Zhu stopped worrying and took advantage of the fact that her mother was not so busy and most of the customers had finished their orders and left. She quickly packed a bowl of cold noodles and ran over to hand it to her.
"Grandma, this is the cold noodles we made at home. We prepared too much noodles today, and it's past dinner time now. If you don't mind, you can take this portion home and try it. If it's delicious, come and take care of our business next time."
Having said that, Wen Zhu was also afraid that she couldn't afford it, so he made up an excuse.
She didn't know why, but she always felt an involuntary closeness towards this old lady. Seeing her standing there looking at her despite her inconvenience, she felt like she was looking at an old friend, so she couldn't help but do the same.
Sometimes, she believed in her sixth sense. Even if she didn't know someone, she could tell whether they were good or bad. She could tell at a glance.
The old lady was startled when she saw Wen Zhu suddenly running over. She subconsciously turned around and held onto the wall to walk in the opposite direction.
But because he was old and his steps were unsteady, it was Wen Zhu who helped him and saved him from falling.
The old lady looked at Wen Zhu a little awkwardly.
"No, no, no thanks. I won't eat them. You can keep them and sell them for money. I'm sure someone will buy them later. Thank you, thank you, little girl."
As he said that, he pushed the cold noodles back and asked Wen Zhu to take it back.
Wen Zhu thought she was embarrassed to take it for free and was about to persuade her again.
Then she heard someone calling her from her stall.
"Where's the stall owner? We want to try the cream."
"Xiao Zhu, come here quickly, someone wants to see the face cream!"
Jiang Qin also waved to Wen Zhu, signaling her to go back and greet the guests.
There are people coming to the cold noodle stall now, so I can’t get away for the time being.
Wen Zhu agreed.
“Here I come!”
Then I wanted to quickly send the cold noodles out so that I could go back quickly.
Who knew that when she looked back, the old lady had already walked for a while, limping quickly.
Wen Zhu quickly caught up and stuffed the noodles into the old lady's hands.
"Please keep this, try it, and give me some advice next time!"
Having said that, he quickly ran away.
The old lady wanted to refuse again, she didn't have the nerve to accept other people's things.
I knew that his whole family was coming, and I couldn't help but want to see how much older the little kid had grown and what he looked like. This time I found this place and took a quick look.
But after just a few steps, I wanted to catch up and give him money.
His eyes swept over Wen Manman, who was standing next to the cold noodle stall with an arrogant look on her face.
His steps stopped immediately.
The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.
He pulled up the headscarf that was half wrapped around his head, limped, and quickly went in the opposite direction.
He found a kid, gave him a candy, and asked him to take fifty cents to the cold noodle stall.
After watching Jiang Qin receive the money, he glanced at the lively and busy girl twice, then he grabbed the box of cold noodles and left.
It looks like them. It really looks like them.
White skin will turn red when exposed to the sun, but will not turn black.
Two watery eyes.
Eyebrows slightly curved.
He looks so much like his dad when he was a kid.
The old lady sighed.
How could she have the face to recognize him?
She ran into the old man who came to see her. His hair was completely white, and his eyes were no longer clear, but slightly cloudy, as if covered by a layer of shadow. He could not see clearly.
"Xiuzhen, have you found it?"
The old lady held his arm.
"If you can't see, then don't go out alone. Didn't I tell you I'd come back in a while? It's so dangerous to go out alone!"
As she said this, she supported him and the two of them walked home step by step with unsteady steps.
"Do you think they will come back to see us?"
The old man sighed and said.
"Why go back? It's better to go far away. Just live a good life. Don't disturb them."
The old lady responded.
"Well, let's go back. He'll be back soon. Who knows what he'll do when he sees we're not here."
