Chapter 63 Old Lady
Qin Sisi hurried to the door of the grocery store, looked around, and finally saw a white-haired old lady standing behind the counter, trembling with fear as she used an abacus. Her flexible fingers quickly fiddled with the abacus, making a crackling sound.
The white-haired old lady could use the abacus very quickly, which showed that she was very good at abacus when she was young.
To be able to do this kind of work, one must be a talented person, and Qin Sisi respected talented people very much.
But at the moment, it was obviously not his job to use the abacus for others, and renting a car was what Qin Sisi should do.
Qin Sisi gathered all her emotions, stepped forward, and spoke politely and respectfully.
"Hello, grandma, I would like to ask if the small truck parked in front of your grocery store belongs to your grocery store?"
If so, how can she rent this small truck?
Qin Sisi's calculations were also clacking in her heart. Just to rent a small truck, she was working hard enough.
Hearing Qin Sisi's question, the old lady who was concentrating on the abacus stopped her work, picked up the pencil in her hand, and quickly made a mark on a small notebook next to her. Then she raised her head and glanced at Qin Sisi, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, and said slowly.
"Yes, little girl, that small truck belongs to our grocery store. We usually use it to buy goods. When there is no goods, it is parked at the door. What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
Their family bought this small truck two or three years ago. His son usually drives it to the wholesale market to buy goods. In his spare time, this car has always been parked at the door. When his son has to go to other business, the small truck is parked at the door. It has been parked for many days.
No one comes to the door to ask about it on weekdays. I wonder why this girl suddenly asked about this small truck today? The old lady expressed doubts and couldn't help looking Anxin up and down.
Qin Sisi in front of me was wearing a simple T-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. She was dressed like a high school student. The innocence and youth on her face had not completely faded, but her face looked very elegant. This kind of beauty was very aggressive. Combined with her pure aura, she was charming but not coquettish, beautiful but not vulgar. She was a rare beauty.
The old lady was well-informed, and she rarely saw such a beautiful girl like Qin Sisi. She couldn't help but flash a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Compared with the experience flashing in the old lady's eyes, Qin Sisi's mind was all on the door and the small truck.
From the grandmother's tone, this truck belongs to their grocery store, but it is only used to purchase goods on weekdays. So when it is not purchasing goods, this small truck is idle.
Thinking of this, Qin Sisi said without hesitation.
"Grandma, you mean this small truck is used by your store to purchase goods, so when it is not purchasing goods, it is idle?"
If that is the case, then the utilization rate of this small truck is not very high.
It is a waste of idle equipment, isn't it?
Compared with Qin Sisi's joy, the grandmother said calmly.
"Yes, that's what I mean. This truck was bought by my son to carry goods for our store, but most of the people who come to our store to buy things are self-employed, and they can take the things away by themselves, so the current use of this truck is just to carry goods."
These days, the things you buy are all small commodities, and there is no need for door-to-door delivery. Most people take the things away by themselves, so this truck does not have any delivery function, and its only use is to carry goods.
Qin Sisi, however, was quick to grasp the information she wanted from the old lady's words, and said excitedly.
"In that case, this truck is just sitting here idle, no one uses it, and it is not a waste, except for carrying goods."
The white-haired old lady looked at Qin Sisi steadily and nodded in acknowledgement.
"Yes, our truck is in this state now. I wonder what the little girl thinks?"
Although she is quite old, as someone who has been in the business world for many years, she can see the spark of joy in Qin Sisi's eyes. She knows without thinking that the little girl seems to have some thoughts about their truck.
Qin Sisi was just thinking about a reason to borrow or rent a car, but she didn't expect the old lady to ask. Then she didn't hesitate, so she took a step closer and said to the old lady.
"Grandma, your truck is idle most of the time, which is a waste of its use. You see, a car is like a human brain, it needs to be used frequently so that all parts are connected. If you park the car for a long time, the parts will rust or even wear out, which is not conducive to the long-term use of your car."
I have to admit that Qin Sisi worked hard to rent this truck, and she fully used the patience of the big bad wolf to coax the little white rabbit, presenting facts and reasoning.
In fact, this car is like a person, it really needs to be used frequently. If you don't use it for a long time, the damage to various parts will be quite large, such as the battery of the car.
If the battery of a car is not used within a week, it will leak electricity over time. Not to mention the other parts, which will rust and wear out if they are not used for a long time.
Qin Sisi just stated an objective fact and wanted to make full use of this small truck.
Of course, after saying so much, it is not ruled out that Qin Sisi has a lot of selfish motives. Isn't it just to rent this car?
Of course, for Qin Sisi's painstaking efforts to tell the truth and make reasons in order to rent someone else's car, the old lady just raised her head and looked at her seriously, then smiled.
"Well, I don't understand. This car is often used by my son. How about you come in and sit for a while? My son should be back from work in a few minutes."
She is old enough to know whether the car is often used, the wear and tear of parts, the idle rate of equipment, etc.
She just thinks this little girl is interesting. She has some ideas about the truck parked in front of their house and wants to talk about it.
So she called her son in and waited for him to come back to listen to his opinion. Anyway, her son is driving this car.
If after her son comes back, this little girl can convince her son to have her own ideas about this car, then she will not interfere.
After all, when this person gets older, he doesn't want to care about many things that are beyond his ability.
