034 Seeds of Struggle
It’s not easy to come to the provincial capital.
The brother and sister temporarily put the goods in the store and continued to look for goods in the market.
Gao Qingmiao didn't know what her elder sister was looking for, but she looked very confident.
Just like the two items he just bought, he couldn't imagine how they could sell well.
But the elder sister went up to bargain, check the goods and pay.
Now she has started looking again, saying that she wants to find a shiny butterfly hairpin that moves when its wings shake.
Gao Qingmiao opened his eyes wide and suddenly saw a row of shiny things hanging on the wall of a jewelry store.
She quickly called out to Gao Qinghe, who was still behind her: "Sister, sister! We found it!"
Gao Qinghe ran over to take a look, and it really was a butterfly hairpin.
This jewelry store looks very different from other stores. The owner displays a lot of goods in an eye-catching way.
The wall at the entrance is covered with metal butterfly hairpins. When the wind blows, they all move with a rustling sound, attracting special attention.
The store shelves are lined with plastic baskets filled with all sorts of small trinkets.
The styles are novel and unique, and are styles that have never been seen in the county.
In addition to accessories, there are also many cosmetics with shocking packaging but very eye-catching.
There are also many styles of hats and scarves, all hung on the ceiling for display. The colorful sight made Gao Qingmiao dizzy.
The owners of the store are a pair of sisters. The elder sister is a bit plump, but she is enthusiastic and kind.
My sister is tall and thin, with a sharp look in her eyes. She insisted on the price and refused to budge.
There were a lot of people in the store. Gao Qinghe and his sister stood at the door for a while, waiting for the people to leave before squeezing in.
The fat boss came forward to greet him warmly and showed Gao Qinghe all the new models that had just arrived.
After hearing the prices, Gao Qinghe looked at so many options and didn't want to embarrass himself.
With eyes full of trust, she said to the fat boss, "There are too many things. How about you help me match them up? Just match up to 125."
The thin boss had just seen off a group of guests and came over when he heard this.
"I'll help you match it and make sure it sells well."
She picked up two empty baskets swiftly and began to move between the shelves with her hands moving very quickly.
It took about ten minutes to get all the goods to the counter, and he started pressing the calculator in front of Gao Qinghe.
While calculating, Gao Qinghe was asked to confirm the quantity and products himself.
The fat boss stood by with a pen and paper, writing a list of goods while telling Gao Qinghe and her brother how to tie the scarves, how to pin the hairpins, and which accessories to match with which hairstyle.
Gao Qingmiao listened very carefully.
Gao Qinghe had to keep some cash to buy train tickets, as he didn't have enough to pay for the goods.
I agreed with the boss to pay part of the money first, put the goods in the store, and then return to pick up the goods the next day after returning the hotel deposit.
Gao Qinghe came empty-handed, while Gao Qingmiao carried both big and small bags. The brother and sister returned to the hotel tired and excited.
After a short break and a few sips of water, I rushed to the train station again.
Gao Qingmiao waited in line for half an hour and finally bought a train ticket from the provincial capital to Lin County at 10 o'clock the next morning.
Only then did Gao Qinghe dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
For dinner, the brother and sister ate at the food stall that Gao Qingmiao particularly liked. They had one meat dish, one vegetable dish and a soup, and the total cost was five yuan.
When they arrived at the hotel, Gao Qingmiao was very excited and wanted to try on the new accessories on Gao Qinghe's hair.
Gao Qinghe’s first reaction: Rebellion!
On second thought, it’s a good thing that my younger brother is studious. He should practice more so that he can grow up to be independent.
Only in this way can she successfully realize the beautiful life of lying down and collecting dividends.
Then he sat down beside the bed and warned fiercely:
"I'll strangle you if you mess up my hair!"
Gao Qingmiao: “…”
......
A dreamless night.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Gao Qinghe checked out and received the deposit. He immediately asked Gao Qingmiao to go to the market to pay the additional money and pick up the goods.
She stayed at the hotel entrance to look at the goods.
The time was agreed upon yesterday, and the fat boss came to open the door early, so Gao Qingmiao got the goods smoothly.
The brother and sister reunited, and this time Gao Qinghe couldn't go empty-handed.
She took the initiative to carry a bag of socks.
The remaining accessories and pants are not heavy, but the pants are so bulky that they look a bit exaggerated.
Gao Qingmiao carried the big bag full of leggings on her head, leaving one hand free to carry her jewelry bag.
Originally Gao Qingmiao was a little embarrassed, as this really damaged his handsome image.
But when I looked at the people coming from the market to the train station, I saw that they were basically the same as me, carrying bags full of things and not caring about their image at all.
Suddenly I feel that my little face seems, as if, no one cares at all!
In fact, no one really cares because the residents living here have long been accustomed to it.
Realizing that no one was looking at him with prejudiced eyes, Gao Qingmiao took bigger and bigger steps, and his shrunken face was exposed from his collar.
After getting on the train, Gao Qinghe and his brother took turns looking at the goods.
After being careful along the way, we arrived in Lin County safely at 1:00 p.m.
After a quick bite to eat, we boarded the bus back to Qing County.
When Gao Qingmiao saw the familiar county station again, he suddenly felt that this place was different from before he left.
Compared with the provincial capital, the small Qing County is like two different worlds.
After taking a shaky bus for more than two hours to get back to the village, what came into view was endless mountains, one connected to the other, which was the only way to break the barrier.
He had only been away for two days, but he felt as if he had been away for a lifetime.
A seed called struggle was unknowingly planted in the heart of the young man.
"I must go to a big city in this life!" Gao Qingmiao said angrily.
It seems that he is full of dissatisfaction and disgust with this poor and backward little place.
Gao Qinghe shook his head. Is this considered an angry young man?
After checking my pockets, I found that I only had three dollars and fifty cents left after my trip to the county town.
It’s just enough for the ticket to go into the city tomorrow.
However, looking at the three full bags of goods at my feet, I am full of anticipation for tomorrow.
"Let's go home."
Gao Qinghe pointed at the bags on the ground. Gao Qingmiao picked them up and strode home without her saying anything.
It was evening when everyone came back from work in the fields.
The brother and sister were carrying so many bags that they were questioned by the villagers all the way.
Gao Qingmiao pretended to be too tired to speak.
Gao Qinghe said half-seriously, "Nothing much, I just went to the city to buy some small things and plan to set up a stall in the city."
When they heard about setting up a street stall, Zheng Xiaohu and his gang immediately jumped out.
"What good can you achieve by setting up a street stall? You can only make a few pennies!"
A few people nearby echoed: "That's right, it's not as good as following Xiaohu's brother to open a video parlor and make a lot of money!"
Gao Qingmiao sneered, "Heh," and deliberately said loudly:
"Even if I set up a street stall, I still make clean money!"
"What do you mean?" Zheng Xiaohu's face changed instantly.
Gao Qinghe frowned, "Gao Qingmiao! Dad, Mom, and Grandma are waiting for us to eat!"
"I understand." Gao Qingmiao responded quickly and left quickly.
He was too lazy to bother with Zheng Xiaohu, a frog in the well.
He saw it all when he went into the city this time. There were nearly a thousand stalls of all sizes in the farmers' market, and they relied on these little things to sell tens of thousands of goods every day.
That's what it means to make big money!
Zheng Xiaohu, who was completely ignored, looked at the brother and sister leaving with their bags and sneered in his heart:
Let’s wait and see!
