Yu Jiu added again.
"Okay, let's make money together!"
Lin Xiaonong was very interested; he couldn't even wait until tomorrow. He wanted to try selling some today.
"Haha, so eager? There's only one afternoon left. Okay, since you want to sell, we'll take you home to get the goods. We just received a new batch of goods, and we haven't even had time to sell them ourselves yet. Let us let you choose first."
Yu Jiu generously replied that if he sold them, they could also make money, a win-win situation.
Lin Xiaonong smiled sheepishly, but he was really eager to try it out and see if he could make any money.
After bringing him home, Yu Jiu pointed to the pile of goods in the warehouse and reminded him.
“Denim clothes are selling better recently, after all, they're fashionable, and everyone loves to follow trends. But you can bring some more ordinary skirts and clothes to attract people's attention. Denim clothes are a bit too trendy, and people who haven't bought them before might not want to buy them at first. But once they're attracted by ordinary clothes, they might like them more and more and end up buying them.”
Yu Jiu taught him the secrets of selling clothes, and Lin Xiaonong nodded, indicating that he had learned something. In the end, he picked out six denim jackets, six pairs of jeans, two skirts, and two pairs of leggings, taking a total of sixteen items. Finally, he took four shirts.
Because he hadn't prepared in advance, Yu Jiu lent him a tablecloth and a stool to put his clothes on so he could set up his stall. The tablecloth was just the right size to wrap the twenty pieces of clothing and carry them in his hand, which was very convenient. He could set up his stall wherever he wanted, and he could even set it up while walking around, however he pleased.
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang also made an agreement with Lin Xiaonong that he could not sell in this area, otherwise he would steal their original shop's customers. Therefore, Lin Xiaonong needed to go to a place a little further away, at least three bus stops away.
Lin Xiaonong kept his promise and took the clothes to a street he thought was particularly lively to set up a stall. It was quite a long bus ride, requiring eight stops.
"Luckily, we set up a small room in the yard and put some of the clothes in there in advance. Otherwise, if Lin Xiaonong came over, we wouldn't know what to say or where to put the clothes."
After all, only two rooms here are occupied by sleeping people, and the rest are the kitchen, toilet, and shower room. There's simply no extra space to store anything. Yu Jiu and Xu Zi went to buy a lot of clothes, most of which are stored in Yu Jiu's space. They'll take them out when they're done. The small room they built in the yard is just for show; it's very small and can only hold about two or three hundred pieces of clothing.
"That's right, it's a pity. It takes up part of the yard, making the vegetable garden smaller, and Gray's doghouse will have to be moved to another place. An'an also wants to raise chickens, but if she does, she'll have to keep them next to the toilet, otherwise it will look too crowded."
Xu Zijiang is used to having a large courtyard. If the courtyard is too crowded, he will feel cramped. This is different from the views of city dwellers, who think that having a large enough passageway to walk through is already quite good. They don't have that many large courtyards.
“It’s okay, we can keep them near the toilet. An’an wants to raise chickens, so we have to fulfill her wish, otherwise she might be unhappy.”
Yu Jiu has already compromised. Now that spring has arrived and the temperature is gradually rising, they have planted vegetables in the yard. In the past few days, Yu Jiu has been working on buying chicks for her to raise.
"Fine, you guys decide. The point is to make you happy."
Xu Zi nodded with a smile, then leaned over and kissed Yu Jiu's little face. Just after he finished kissing her, Aunt Wu returned with Yuan Yuan. She had just taken An An to school.
"Yuanyuan is back from taking her sister to school. Come here, let Mommy give you a hug. I'll go back to work after this hug."
Yu Jiu clapped his hands, took the chubby little boy from Aunt Wu's arms, and gave him a big kiss, making his little face turn red.
"Mom! Mom!"
Little Yuanyuan blinked his eyes and suddenly blurted out "Mama." This was the first time he had spoken, and he could call out the name clearly. Yu Jiu was overjoyed.
"Oh my, my little baby can talk now! Call me 'Mama' one more time!"
"Mother!"
Little Yuanyuan excitedly waved his hands, his big, dark eyes sparkling with laughter, his mouth wide open, revealing his pink gums. He stepped on Yu Jiu's belly with his chubby little feet, using the momentum to kick, and his bottom bounced up with a bouncy sound. The whole scene was one of dancing and gesturing wildly.
"Sweetie! Daddy's here too, call me Daddy."
Yu Jiu affectionately rubbed against Yuan Yuan's neck, then put him in Xu Zijiang's arms and asked him to call him "Dad." Yuan Yuan was very accommodating and called him "Dad" when asked.
"dad!"
"Good girl, Yuanyuan is so obedient."
Xu Zijiang stroked his son's fluffy little head affectionately, saying that the two of them had never shaved Yuanyuan's baby hair. His hair is now very thick and black, and it feels very soft and fluffy to the touch.
"Hehe, Dad!"
Seemingly knowing everyone was happy, little Yuanyuan was also very happy. He kicked Xu Zijiang's belly with both feet, trying to stand up, and then shouted "Dad!" loudly, which made Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang overjoyed.
Wow, the little one can already say "daddy" and "mommy" so quickly! It feels like just yesterday An'an was growing up so fast. She could roll over, say "daddy" and "mommy," crawl, walk, and now she's even going to school. Time really flies!
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang were both a little sad, but they had things to do. They kissed little Yuanyuan's face, told Aunt Wu to take good care of him, and then went out again. Today, they were going to clean the storefront and see how to decorate it to determine the final effect. If the bricklayer was free to come tomorrow, they could start working on it.
The two of them only had a general idea before, and they still needed to consider how to do it in the end.
"Mom, Dad!"
Yuanyuan pointed at Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's backs, calling out "Mom" and "Dad," as if to say that the two of them had left. Aunt Wu patted his back and comforted him.
"Yes, Mom and Dad are busy. Be a good girl, Yuanyuan. Mom and Dad will be back soon. Come on, Grandma will take you to play."
Aunt Wu carried Yuanyuan into the room and played with his toys. Usually, after dropping An'an off in the afternoon, she would play with Yuanyuan at home for a while and coax him to take a nap. Only after he woke up would she take him out for a walk. After they had walked around for a while, she would go to school to pick up An'an and Yueyue. Not long after she got back, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang also returned.
The day passed, and Aunt Wu felt quite relaxed. Yuanyuan didn't cry or fuss, and didn't need to be held all the time. If she could, she'd like to continue doing this job, but she wondered if Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang would still need her when Yuanyuan grew up. If she found another employer, she might not be able to live so easily anymore.
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang haven't even started thinking about this yet; of course, they'll wait until they're older and see how things go.
