Ten days later, Yan Ge returned and rented a handcart at the train station to transport the goods to the courtyard.
When Yan Xiaoqiang first brought the goods to the courtyard house, he saw Yan Xiaoqiang's surprised look and knew that he had gone too far. The courtyard house was his uncle's home, not his own. How could he take it for granted that he could come and go as he pleased?
These things can only be sold in the capital. Although my uncle still lives in the capital, he is too imposing. I would rather live under the bridge than disturb him.
But right now, apart from my uncle's place, I really have nowhere else to go. Maybe I should ask Nan Nan to help me rent a place this time, so that at least I'll have a place to stay. I've made up my mind that this is the last time I'll bother my uncle.
Yan Xiaoqiang was very enthusiastic this time, insisting on helping Yan Ge move the goods, which made Yan Ge suspect that he had a terminal illness. That's why his uncle was so kind to him. Little did he know that Nan Nan had already told Yan Xiaoqiang about the plan. Yan Ge would be a partner in the future. Shouldn't one be enthusiastic towards a partner?
Ai Dang had already finished renovating his two houses. Looking at the two houses, Ai Dang complained to his older brother with a sour expression: "Yan Jiang, why don't you take Nan Nan home and make her your own daughter? That's right."
Yan Daqiang looked intently at Yan Xiaoqiang: "Qiangzi, why don't you consider Ai Dang's suggestion?"
Yan Xiaoqiang spat on the ground: "What are you even thinking about? Forget about it for the rest of your life. If you want a daughter, have one yourself. If you can't have one, let Ai Dang have one."
Yan Daqiang laughed heartily and looked at Yan Aidang, saying, "We've been waiting for you. You'd better hurry up."
Yan Aidang never expected that the fire would eventually burn him. He had brought this upon himself. He quickly changed the subject to the renovation, telling them that Nan Nan said there wasn't enough money, so they would renovate one apartment for the time being.
In just ten days, the goods sent by Ye Huixian were sold out. After deducting the cost, he actually made more than 10,000 yuan. Yan Xiaoqiang was so happy that he couldn't wait to sleep with the money in his arms every day.
But the thought that this money would no longer belong to him after today and would have to be handed over to Yan Ge made him feel a little reluctant. Suddenly, he had the idea of going to Huacheng with Yan Ge. He discussed the idea with Yan Xiaonan, and Yan Xiaonan was delighted.
"Dad, I'm so lucky! How could I have met such a wonderful dad? I'm so happy! How about I go buy some wine to celebrate later?" A string of compliments pleased Yan Xiaoqiang.
"Dad is so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter in his family. I'm so happy! I'll go buy some wine now. Honey, honey, get some snacks to go with the wine, and we'll have a good drink together."
Watching Nan Nan interact with her uncle, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't envious. Fortunately, he was a man now and didn't need such tenderness anymore.
Yan Xiaonan smiled and told Yan Ge about her and Ye Huixian's plans. Yan Ge's eyes widened. No wonder his uncle wanted to go with him. So that's why. How could he give up such a good opportunity? But he was short of money at the moment.
"Nan Nan, I only have 1,000 yuan, no, only 700 yuan, and it's all in the goods. If these goods are sold successfully, I'll have more than 3,000 yuan, but it's still a long way from 10,000 yuan."
"It's alright, Aunt Ye and I will lend you the money first. Take a look at this contract. You'll be in charge of purchasing, and Aunt Ye and I will be in charge of shipping. After deducting all operating capital, the three of us will split the net profit equally." Yan Xiaonan handed over a contract. There were three copies of the contract, and Nannan and Ye Huixian had already signed them.
Yan Yan signed his name without hesitation, without even looking at the contract carefully. Yan Xiaoqiang looked at Yan Yan with newfound respect at this moment, which showed that the little guy had complete trust in Nan Nan.
Yan Xiaonan took out 30,000 yuan and handed it to Yan Ge: "Brother Yan Ge, I'll help you sell this batch of goods. All the profits are yours. Just rest for two days and take the money to Huacheng. It would be best to rent a house there, that would be more convenient. Of course, rent is also a cost, but you don't need to worry about it."
Yan Jian accepted the money, but didn't know where to put it safely. In this hot weather, with only thin clothes, it was unsafe to put such a thick wad of cash anywhere.
Cuihua handed him a waist belt, which had a secret: the entire belt was made of pockets. Cuihua had divided it into five pockets according to the length of a ten-yuan note, put six thousand yuan in each pocket, tied it around his waist, and put his undershirt down so that he couldn't see the contents at all. Yan Ge praised her repeatedly, saying that his aunt was too capable.
Three days later, Yan Xiaoqiang and Yan Ge boarded the train to Huacheng together. Cuihua also made Yan Xiaoqiang wear a waist belt with nearly three thousand yuan inside: "Qiangzi, buy whatever you like, eat whatever you like, don't be stingy. Also, be careful and don't get into fights."
Yan Xiaoqiang listened to Cuihua's nagging and felt incredibly sweet inside. All he could think about was going to Huacheng to buy his mother, wife, and daughter nice clothes and delicious food.
Trains nowadays are much faster than they were a decade or so ago. Yan Xiaoqiang looked at the scenery along the way. The desolate landscape had been replaced by plants and houses, and the desolate atmosphere was gone.
The prosperity of Huacheng surprised Yan Xiaoqiang. He originally thought that Beijing was already a bustling metropolis, but he did not expect Huacheng to be even more lively. The endless stream of people, colorful clothes, and those with permed hair and heavy makeup made Yan Xiaoqiang's eyes dazzle and he regretted not bringing Cuihua with him.
This was Yan Ge's third time visiting Huacheng, so he was already familiar with the wholesale market. He took Yan Xiaoqiang to the guesthouse to book a room, and Yan Xiaoqiang was surprised to find that no letter of introduction was needed to book a room here.
To be honest, the guesthouse was much more expensive than the ones in the county town, costing two yuan a night – that's highway robbery!
Yan Ge laughed: "Uncle, they're all here to buy goods. They're targeting you because you have money in your pockets. We'll stay for three days first, and after we finish buying the goods, I'll find a place to stay that will be much cheaper."
Yan Xiaoqiang nodded. People come and go here. If we don't settle on a place to sleep soon, we might not have anywhere to sleep tonight.
The food in Huacheng wasn't to Yan Xiaoqiang's liking; it was bland and tasteless. It was okay for one meal, but after a few, his mouth would definitely taste like bird's nest. Thinking that Yan Xiaoqiang would have to eat this kind of food every day from now on, he gave him a pitying look.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that this was exactly the flavor he liked; it was light and refreshing.
Finally, we entered the wholesale market. Actually, the wholesale market was not yet booming at this time, but there were still quite a few people in the huge market.
Yan Ge keenly noticed that there were significantly more people coming to buy goods than on his previous two visits, but they were timid, bought small quantities, and were slow and indecisive.
A man wearing a floral shirt, flared jeans, and 765 leather shoes saw Yan Ge and his eyes lit up: "Yan Ge, Yan Ge, here, here."
