Chapter 43 Pillowtalk
Limited by the thinking of the 1980s, the people in the village would not think anything of Chen Yuan, but would instead think that Su Wan was whispering in their ear.
After all, these days, as long as parents are still alive, they will never be separated.
Even if there were any, they were so upset that they had no family affection left and were separated directly.
The two of them talked things out, and even at dinner that night, Su Wan ate two bowls of rice.
After she had eaten her fill, she took the cloth and began to wrap the edges.
The rain outside is falling continuously, as if it wants to get rid of all the spring rain at once to welcome the good weather that is coming.
Su Wan remembered that the weather would be good for a while around April.
She had to take advantage of those days to sell all these clothes.
After cleaning up, Su Wan went back to her room to rest.
Chen Yuan slept at his second brother's house tonight, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
It was raining heavily outside, and she was so irritable that she fell asleep in the middle of the night.
When I woke up, it was almost noon.
The rain was still falling outside, and she felt a little uneasy as the goods in her hands were piled up in the room.
It is best to sell wholesale goods at one time.
But she also knew that she would not always be as lucky as before and be able to sell out all the goods.
The market will be saturated.
So she planned to sell them at the factory first, and then take the unsold ones to other places to continue selling them.
The county town where the troops are located has a large population. Because there are many large factories, the workers' wages are high, and clothes sell well.
But things were not as good as she thought. The spring rain lasted for a full week before it stopped.
By the time she went out to set up the stall, the temperature outside had risen a lot.
After she ironed the large and small bags of clothes and placed them on the rack, the girls at the factory gate saw her.
"Boss, all you bought are summer clothes!"
"The temperatures are going to rise soon, so I'm selling summer clothes first. When they look good, I'll buy them and dry them in the sun. Then, when the weather gets hot, you can wear them right away. These are all new styles this year. They're all short styles adapted from runway models abroad. The fabrics are really good."
She put the red dress on and her whole complexion brightened.
Her skin is already fair, and now the red color makes her look delicate and charming, and her pair of starry eyes can make anyone blush.
Knowing that the clothes sold by Su Wan were of good quality and novel styles, many people appeared in front of the stall soon. There were also some unmarried young boys. Looking at the charming and attractive Su Wan, they generously bought two sets of clothes.
She didn't buy much goods this time. The most expensive item was the dress recommended to her by the boss, which she sold for ninety-nine.
When they heard the price, the girls whispered, "This is too expensive."
"This dress is really inexpensive. The organza is the main material for wedding dresses. You can feel the texture of this organza; it's lighter and more flowing than ordinary tulle, and it has a vertical feel."
When they heard that it was made of the same material as the wedding dress, the girls whispered to each other and wanted it very much.
After thinking for a while, I asked, "Boss, can't we get a discount?"
Su Wan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can only give you one dollar less. This skirt is really expensive, ninety-eight dollars each. Everyone will get one in the new year. If you think it's suitable, take one!"
In later generations, people would not bother to look at the fact that one dollar was missing, but in the 1980s, it was a sign of great sincerity.
Most of the girls had bought clothes and skirts before, and when they were buying, they also asked if the stockings were still available. When they heard that they were not available at the moment, they were very disappointed.
After all, there were so many stockings last time, and some of them only bought two pairs. When they wanted to buy more, they found that they were out of stock.
Maybe it’s because there are always limited stocks each time and there will be new stocks next time, so the girls who want to buy them all pay for them.
Su Wan got clothes for them, Su Jianguo looked for the goods, and Chen Yuan collected the money.
The skirts they brought were not enough to sell and they were sold out in just three hours, but there were still a lot of other clothes. Seeing that there were only a few skirts available, the other girls asked Su Wan to get more.
After confirming the number of people, she planned to let Su Jianguo go to purchase the goods.
"This time when you go to buy the goods, you have to buy all the goods that have been ordered. In addition, you need to buy ten of each style. You can also choose some nice styles for yourself. I will give you the purchase money. You can plan to pick up the goods. If you don't have a car after picking up the goods, you can stay at the guesthouse for one night."
Su Jianguo took the backpack from Su Wan, which contained eight thousand yuan, the money for his purchase.
After he left, Su Wan and Chen Yuan continued to sell clothes.
By the time the second shift arrived, Su Wan's stall was crowded with people.
The remaining men's clothing was quickly sold out, and by 1 p.m., the stall was finally cleared.
She placed the clothes hanging on the security lounge, took out a few packs of cigarettes from the side of her backpack, and handed two more bags to the two security guards.
"Excuse me, I'll set up a stall here again in the future."
Su Wan knew last year that these two security guards were no ordinary people. The older one was the factory director's father. She often spoke well of him and bought him cigarettes and braised meat. The factory director's father had a very good impression of her.
Now she has a stall here, and the clothes she hangs on can be borrowed and placed in the security guard's rest area.
The uncle took the bag she handed him and said with a smile, "Business is good, keep up the good work!"
"Thank you!" Su Wan pointed to the contents of the bag and said, "There are two bottles of wine and a few sets of clothes in there. I hope you and Auntie don't mind. These are all the goods I'm selling now."
Looking at the things in the bag hesitantly, the uncle wanted to give money to Su Wan, but he saw her running away with Chen Yuan, and he felt that this girl was indeed a particular person.
I said to the security guard next to me, "This girl is nice and polite."
"After the reform and opening up, these are the first people to get rich. Are you daring enough to go out and start your own business? I think this girl is quite capable. Last year, she was selling braised meat. She came rain or shine. I wonder if she's married yet?"
"Isn't the guy next to her her husband?"
The factory director's father glanced suspiciously at the disappearing figure, then smiled and said, "Whether you're getting married or not, you should find a partner who has a public office. It's more stable."
Self-employed people do have money, but when it comes to marriage, they will definitely choose someone with a stable job.
After returning home, as soon as Su Wan opened the door, Grandma Zhao was waiting anxiously.
Seeing them coming, he said cheerfully, "I thought you guys wouldn't be back so soon after being outside. I've already prepared the food, so hurry up and eat."
"Grandma Zhao, didn't I say I'd wait until I got back to do it?"
Su Wan watched Grandma Zhao stewing vegetables in the pot, boiling a pig's trotter and stewing a chicken.
"Xiao Chen needs to drink more chicken soup to get better faster. I'm going to give chicken soup to the old man today, and the rest is for Xiao Chen."
These days, Su Wan has been buying all the vegetables for the family. Grandma Zhao felt embarrassed, and since it wasn't raining today, she quickly went out to buy a chicken to stew.
