Chapter 479: The Shop Opens
When Jiang Meili saw Li Le’s gloomy face, she felt guilty and didn’t even dare to pick up any food. It was all her mother’s fault that made her unable to hold her head up in the Li family.
Cheng Qiao glared at Li Le. The store would open tomorrow, and Li Bing and Meili would also be leaving. Why couldn't she just bear with it? She was about to become a mother, but she didn't know how to control her worries and showed everything on her face.
Li Le lowered his head. Since his second sister-in-law was angry with him, he must have done something wrong. Guoqing stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat from the palm of his hand and gave it to Li Le. Instead of being angry with his eldest sister-in-law, he might as well eat more. One person could feed two people.
The atmosphere at Li's mother's table was obviously a little depressing. Chen Xiaoniu looked at Lele uneasily, then at Jiang Meili, and then at Cheng Qiao, and she didn't dare to pick up the food with her chopsticks.
Mother Li raised her head, looked at Chen Xiaoniu and smiled:
"Girl, eat more vegetables. These are bear paws, which are hard to get. Now Lele is pregnant, so you have to take care of the store. Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Lele and I grew up together. Her business is my business. I will definitely work hard and will not let the store lose money."
Guoqing held back his laughter and nudged the little troublemaker with his elbow. Your wife is really honest. If the convenience store can still make a loss, then the wholesale market in Xiangyang County will go bankrupt.
"Drink, don't think it's easy for people to carry a load."
The little troublemaker grabbed the wine bottle and poured wine into Guoqing's glass. Guoqing quickly covered his mouth, thinking that he still had to send his wife home in the evening, so what should he do if he got drunk.
Seeing that Guoqing had softened, the little troublemaker smiled triumphantly. He took advantage of the time when you were nervous about your wife's pregnancy to try his best to find ways to deal with you.
The meal was eaten very late, but very heartily. Skinny Monkey rubbed his stomach. It had been a long time since he had eaten and drank so heartily. He did not regret coming here.
"Brother Huan, I will come here again when your family farm opens."
"Okay, during this time, please help me keep an eye out for some piglets, lambs, and calves. I also want chickens and ducks. I'll give you as many as you can get. Is that okay?"
Of course Skinny Monkey patted his chest and guaranteed that this was a small matter. He would just wait for the sow to give birth to piglets and then go and buy them. The difficult part was transportation, as he had never delivered living things before.
"Don't worry. We still need to build pig pens, cow sheds, and sheep pens, and plant fruit trees and vegetables. By the way, you don't have to stay in the guesthouse next time you come. The family farm has enough rooms for you to stay."
After hearing this, Shouhou also felt envious. Since Brother Huan could set up a family farm here, could he also set up one here?
But when he thought of Qiu Min, who was pregnant, the increasingly busy wholesale company, and Zhao Hui's transportation company, he felt helpless.
Before leaving, Cheng Qiao gave the boss of Dengji another fifty yuan, but he didn't want it, as he had already made a hundred yuan, and the best game was all brought by themselves.
Moreover, with Li Huan's permission, he also left a few bear paws for himself and his wife. These things are rare, and you have to be thick-skinned to ask for them when you want to eat them.
Cheng Qiao didn't say much and directly stuffed fifty yuan under the bowl. She knew how difficult it was to make bear paws and how much firewood was wasted, so she had to give the money.
Li Bing originally wanted to send Jiang Meili and his son home first, and then go to the guesthouse to chat with his brother and others. After all, he would be leaving tomorrow and he didn't know when he would see them again.
But Li Cheng didn't want to go home and wanted to go to the guesthouse with Li Bing. He liked to be with his brothers and sisters. Jiang Meili had no choice but to go home alone.
When they arrived at the guesthouse, Cheng Liguo took Cheng Li to look after Cheng Qiao and Li Huan. The two of them would go back tomorrow after attending the opening ceremony. Cheng Li had to go to class and he also had to go to work. He took so long leave that people thought he had resigned.
Cheng Qiao nodded and took out a large package from the room. Inside was the clothes that Cheng Li would wear this winter, as well as some school supplies.
"Son, when your store opens, Mom will definitely go and help."
Cheng Li nodded. He had been with his parents this summer and had long forgotten about his own store. However, he changed his mind and decided to set up a small family farm when his mother's family farm opened.
"Dad, you must take care of your health when you go back. Combine work and rest. Here are some health-preserving pills and some hemostatic powder. Take them with you for self-defense."
Cheng Liguo nodded, put the things into the suitcase, and also carefully reminded her not to be too nervous about going to Beijing for the exam. If she fails this year, she can try next year. She shouldn't put too much pressure on herself.
Cheng Qiao nodded. She felt no pressure at all. Not to mention the small graduation exam, even the doctor's professional qualification exam was easy for her.
Early the next morning, the sun was shining all over the earth. Li Le was wearing a brand new bright red dress and the lipstick that Cheng Qiao gave her was on her lips. She looked very energetic.
She invited Qin Daqiang to come up and said a few auspicious words. Then she stood in the middle of the store door holding a pair of golden scissors, looked at the bright red ribbons, stretched out her white right hand, and waited for the auspicious time to come.
Yang Jun looked up at the sun from time to time. When the golden sunlight shone on the signboard of the convenience store, he hurriedly waved the small flag in his hand, and Li Bing immediately lit the firecrackers.
In an instant, firecrackers rang out in front of the convenience store, the breeze fluttered the colorful flags, Li Le excitedly cut the ribbon, and the bouquet fell into the tray. Everything was so beautiful.
Qin Daqiang waited patiently. When Li Le announced the official opening of the store, he had already stepped in, took out thirty yuan, and bought two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine. He was the first customer of the store.
Skinny Monkey was the second one in line because he was quick-witted and quick-handed. He knew best what was in the store, so he directly bought two cans of milk powder and then gave them to Li Le. This was a gift from the brother to his sister for her pregnancy.
Li Le was so moved that her eyes filled with tears. How could she be so lucky? Although she had no father since childhood, she had a good mother, two good brothers, and a good sister-in-law.
Now she has a wealthy brother, a lover who loves her dearly, a father-in-law who has a bad temper but truly loves her, and a convenience store that can make her a rich woman.
Cheng Liguo and Ye Jun also followed Skinny Monkey's example and bought either malted milk or milk powder. When there was really nothing else to buy, they just bought two thermos and gave them to Li Le.
Li Le was stunned for a moment. Why did she need a hot water bottle when she was pregnant? It was Li's mother who explained to her that you don't need it, but the child does. Don't you need hot water to wash your hands or wipe your butt?
Uncle Niu even patted his chest and said that he would make a bathtub for the child. He would be responsible for making the bathtub for the child from childhood to adulthood. This was his specialty and it would be a great honor for him to give it away.
Yang Jun and Xiao Trouble took a look at the busy Chen Xiaoniu and felt a little jealous. It would be great if Xiaoniu could also get pregnant.
