Chapter 526 Send out red envelopes



The reopening of the clothing store also dispelled many people's doubts about whether the owner of the store had offended a big shot and was banned.

Before, there were many people waiting to see the joke, but now everyone is silent.

The clothing store will be open until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

There is no New Year's Eve this year. The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is New Year's Eve. There are obviously fewer people buying clothes during these two days. Jiang Yue decided to take a holiday from the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

At noon, Gu Ye came over and found that the clothing store had been cleaned inside and out. The doors had been wiped and the windows were spotless.

A lot of the clothing shelves in the store were cleared out. Because the business was going to close, Jiang Yue stopped taking out new clothes from the warehouse. Spring clothes would be ready after the Chinese New Year, and two days ago, Ajin sent two large packages of new spring clothes.

"Captain Gu, your calligraphy is so beautiful!" Yang Cuiling looked at the Spring Festival couplets written by Gu Ye and exclaimed in amazement.

Although she only went to elementary school and didn't know many words, she could still tell whether her handwriting was good or not.

Jiang Yue stood next to Gu Ye. She knew that Gu Ye's penmanship was beautiful, but she didn't expect that his calligraphy was even more powerful and vigorous. The Spring Festival couplets he wrote were more beautiful than those written by the old craftsmen who specialized in writing Spring Festival couplets for others in the market.

"It's time to put up the Spring Festival couplets!" Aunt Yang brought some flour paste, and Jiang Yue and Yang Cuiling smeared the flour paste on the back of the couplets before handing them to Gu Ye. After pasting them on the door of the shop, they went to the backyard where Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling lived to put up the couplets, including the warehouse and the puppy's kennel.

"Auntie, Cuiling, Happy New Year and best of luck!" Jiang Yue handed the red envelopes that had been sealed long ago to Auntie Yang and Yang Cuiling.

"Oh, Jiang Yue, didn't you get your salary yesterday? We can't accept this red envelope!" Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling refused.

Before getting off work yesterday afternoon, Jiang Yue paid the wages to Aunt Yang, Sister Zhao and others.

"Auntie, this is a New Year's red envelope, you can't refuse it!" Jiang Yue smiled and stuffed the red envelope into Auntie Yang and Yang Cuiling's hands, "It means that our store's business will be more prosperous next year!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Business will be even more prosperous next year!" After hearing what Jiang Yue said, Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling happily and gratefully accepted the red envelopes.

"Auntie, Cuiling, we'll leave first. See you next year!" Jiang Yue smiled and waved to the two of them.

"See you next year!" Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling watched Jiang Yue and Gu Ye get in the car and leave.

The two went to the original factory building of the cotton mill, which had been rented by Jiang Yue and used as a warehouse. Some of the goods were transported here.

The people living here now are Gu Ye’s former subordinates.

"Captain Gu!" A short, dark-faced man heard the sound of the car and limped out of the yard. When he saw Gu Ye, he stood at attention and saluted reflexively.

Gu Ye jumped out of the car, helped Jiang Yue down first, then walked over and patted the man on the shoulder, "How do you feel these days?"

"Very good!" The man touched his head honestly and greeted Jiang Yue with a smile.

His name is Wu Xianfeng. He used to be a soldier under Gu Ye. He injured his leg while on a mission and became disabled, so he was forced to retire and return home.

Because of his disability, he had a hard time living in his hometown, so when he got a call from Gu Ye saying that there was a job that was suitable for him, he rushed over with his family without even asking.

When he got here, Wu Xianfeng realized that the job Gu Ye mentioned was to look after the warehouse. It provided food and accommodation, and he would be paid 35 yuan a month. He only needed to clean the place and pay attention to fire and theft prevention.

This job can be said to be quite easy. Wu Xianfeng was so grateful that he did his job with extra care.

"Let's go in and talk!" Gu Ye looked around. After the cotton mill moved away, this place was completely abandoned. Some of the rooms were in disrepair and were about to collapse.

Gu Ye found this place two months ago, rented it, had it thoroughly painted and cleaned, demolished the dilapidated buildings, and renovated the rest of the house.

Ever since Wu Xianfeng and his family moved in, they have kept the place in great order, with the living area and the warehouse area strictly separated.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see several vegetable fields planted with common winter vegetables such as green vegetables and spinach.

Several children were running around in the spacious yard.

"Love the country and the army, Huahua, come here!" Jiang Yue waved at the children, "It's time to give out red envelopes!"

Wu Xianfeng was flattered when he heard this. "Sister-in-law, you can't do that! You and Gu Tuan have given our family enough. There's no need to spend more!"

"It's not expensive. It's New Year's Day, and the children should be happy too!" Jiang Yue distributed the prepared red envelopes to three children, aged ten, eight and five respectively.

Although Wu Xianfeng's family was poor, the three children were still very polite. They accepted the red envelopes and expressed their gratitude to Jiang Yue.

"And these milk candies are for you to eat during the New Year! Remember that you can only eat three a day, otherwise your teeth will be damaged!" Jiang Yue took out another bag of White Rabbit and fruit candies and gave them to the biggest patriot.

"Where is my sister-in-law? Isn't she at home?" Gu Ye asked when he didn't see Wu Xianfeng's wife.

"She went to the market to buy some New Year's goods and will be back soon. Gu Tuan, you haven't had lunch yet, why don't you stay for lunch!" Wu Xianfeng was very excited.

"No, we still have things to do. Let's do it next time!" Gu Ye looked at Wu Xianfeng and said. In just over a month, Wu Xianfeng was no longer as pale and thin as when he first came, and he looked much more energetic.

"Brother Wu, this is your salary for this month." Jiang Yue handed over thirty-five yuan.

"Wasn't the salary paid just half a month ago? Why are you paying again?" Wu Xianfeng refused to accept it.

"It's the New Year soon, so why not send out this month's red envelope in advance?" Jiang Yue said with a smile, handing over another red envelope.

When Wu Xianfeng heard that he would be paid in advance, he took the thirty-five yuan and was so touched that he saw Jiang Yue handing him another red envelope.
