Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Obviously a year ago, everyone was still...
Zhao Ruyue and her partner brought back so many things that not only the Ning family was shocked, but also the neighbors on the same street and relatives who lived nearby came to see the wonder.
"Have you heard? Mr. Ning and his wife have made a fortune and brought back several big bags of stuff! Do you want to go and take a look together?"
"Do I need to hear about it? I was at their doorstep, carrying my breakfast, chatting with people while eating, and I saw with my own eyes that Ning Lao San asked his family to move things in! After finishing breakfast, I came back to put the bowl away and was about to go over to take another look."
"That's true! Let's go, let's go together! Hey, hey, isn't your wife the cousin of Ning Lao San's wife? You and he are brothers-in-law! Why don't you go and take a look?"
"Go ahead. I'll go back and call my wife first. She was complaining a few days ago that she hadn't seen her cousins for a long time. We should have a good reunion when they come back."
A group of people were calling their friends, as if they were going to see a circus.
Zhao Ruyue's parents' home was nearby, so someone also went to inform her parents, brother and sister-in-law, and sister and brother-in-law.
However, they thought that Zhao Ruyue and her husband had just returned home after such a long car ride, and they must need to rest and have a good chat with their in-laws and children, so they didn't come.
The Ning family soon became busier than a vegetable market.
Zhao Ruyue originally wanted to spend some time with her children, show them the skateboards, bicycles, and snacks that she and Ning Shaoming bought for them, and try out the clothes they bought for them.
But there was an endless stream of people coming to watch the fun, and if she didn't greet them well, they might turn around and gossip about their family behind their backs.
We still have to sell things later, and these are all potential customers.
Zhao Ruyue had no choice but to take out the skateboard and bicycle and give them to Ning Shixia and Ning Shiqiu, letting them go out and play while she cheered herself up to deal with the neighbors and relatives.
"Shaoming, move these things we bought for the New Year to your room first. We will pack them up later and give them to mom and dad." Zhao Ruyue pointed to all the things except the five bags of goods.
The things she referred to were not all those bought for the New Year. She just made up an excuse to get Ning Shaoming to move all these things to their room to prevent others from rummaging through them.
Ning Shaoming also understood, so he didn't foolishly say that some of them were not New Year's goods. He just did whatever his wife told him to do.
By the time he moved the things in, Zhao Ruyue had already swiftly opened a bag of socks to satisfy the curiosity of the neighbors and relatives who had come to watch.
"It's not a rare thing actually," Zhao Ruyue took out a few bundles of socks, "We chartered a car and came back, and there happened to be two empty spots. Shaoming and I thought that those spots would be wasted if they were vacant, and if we spread the cost among everyone, everyone would have to spend more money. So we simply went to the factories of our friends and relatives to buy some goods and asked for those two spots to store the goods. We wanted to try to sell some goods before the New Year."
As she spoke, she opened the other bags and asked her sister-in-law to help keep an eye on them.
The eldest sister-in-law has many faults. Zhao Ruyue hates her talking nonsense and making mischief in front of her children, but she cannot turn against her eldest sister-in-law now.
Because in the eyes of outsiders, the couple went out to work and left the children at home. Although they asked the two elderly people to help take care of the children, they had not officially separated. In the eyes of others, the eldest sister-in-law also helped them.
If she fell out with her sister-in-law as soon as she came back, others would not dare to say anything in front of her, but they might gossip about her to her children behind her back.
In addition, just because a person has many flaws doesn’t mean she has no good points.
Of course, the eldest sister-in-law also has her good points, that is, she can distinguish right from wrong and is relatively protective of her shortcomings.
No one can take anything from her home under her nose.
Compared with the people who are watching the fun, my sister-in-law is considered a family member in the eyes of my sister-in-law, and her things are also considered family property.
Wang Haiyan indeed thought so. She also thought that by helping her brother and sister-in-law with such a small favor, she might be able to get some benefits from it, so she must keep a close eye on those things.
Look, the benefits are coming soon.
Zhao Ruyue whispered to her, and then she stuffed two of the three bundles of socks into her hands: "Sister-in-law, take them and wear them. Don't be polite to me!"
The remaining bundle was distributed to the women watching, who took turns to check the quality.
"Oh, how can I do this?" Wang Haiyan said embarrassedly, but she had already happily taken the two bundles of socks. "There must be five pairs in a bundle, right? A pair of socks on the street costs at least three dollars and fifty cents. So many socks will cost thirty or forty dollars. I can't take them for free. I'll give you the money later!"
Zhao Ruyue knew that she was saying one thing and thinking another. It would be strange if she really gave the money to him later. She just wanted to take advantage of him verbally.
The things were all given, and Zhao Ruyue would not suffer any loss in this regard: "The family said nothing about giving money or not. Here are silk scarves and gloves. I'll pick out a nice red one for you to wear during the New Year!"
As he said this, he opened another bag, took out the silk scarf and gloves that had been prepared long ago and placed on the upper layer, and stuffed them all into Wang Haiyan's arms without saying a word.
She continued, "We don't produce these things here. The shipping cost is quite high because it's far away. The socks in town are so expensive. I came back for the New Year and brought them back directly from the manufacturer. The shipping cost is lower than others, so the price will definitely not be that expensive."
An impatient neighbor touched the socks for a long time and found that these socks felt much better than the ones he bought in town.
After hearing Zhao Ruyue say that her price would be cheaper than in town, he immediately couldn't help asking, "How much do you plan to sell it for? We've been neighbors for so many years, you have to give me a truly affordable price!"
Others followed suit and asked, but no one mentioned the pattern and color of the socks.
Some older ladies even think that the bright red and green colors are better and more festive than those sold on the street.
Zhao Ruyue took the opportunity to tell the price of these things: "Don't worry, my whole family will not run away after completing this order. We will continue to be neighbors in the future, and I will never cheat you. However, if you only buy one or two pairs, it will definitely not be much cheaper. For less than five pairs, they are all sold at a unit price of three yuan per pair.
But it only costs ten yuan to buy five pairs, and only fifteen yuan to buy ten pairs. It's the same price for adults and children. This makes it convenient for me to calculate and make change. After all, I'm not a professional businessman, and I don't have that much change. If you can't buy that much, you can find someone to make the difference. ”
Before Zhao Ruyue came back, she roughly calculated with Ning Shaoming that since they chartered a car, the fare for their return trip was much cheaper than buying tickets at the bus station. One seat cost only 185 yuan.
Even if the positions of the two of them are included in the cost, even if all of them are sold at the price of 15 yuan for ten pairs, it is still possible to break even and make a small profit by selling only one bag of socks.
An old lady heard Zhao Ruyue's last few words and asked in confusion: "Don't you two know someone who has a source of goods? Don't you plan to continue this business after the New Year?"
Zhao Ruyue smiled and said, "My dear aunt, how can such good things always happen? Have you seen the colors of these socks? They are red, green and yellow. They are all Christmas specials, and they are high-quality products produced by the factory!
City dwellers only celebrate this festival once a year, and we were lucky to get these goods at a bargain price. Once they are sold out, they will be gone, not to mention after the New Year. They won’t be available again even at this time next year. ”
The old lady didn’t know anything about Christmas. She only knew that these socks were festive and beautiful, and they were high-quality and cheap! You must act when the time is right, otherwise it will be gone if you miss it!
There were only women left in the room at this moment. The men who had come in to watch the fun just now lost interest when they saw all the socks, silk scarves, and other things, and they were too impatient to stay any longer.
As soon as Ning Shaoming finished moving his things into the room, the men immediately pulled Ning Shaoming out.
They all wanted to talk to him about what they had encountered outside in the past year, especially the friend who introduced them to the source of goods and the relative of that friend who ran a factory.
Someone also wants to go out to work next year and would like to ask Ning Shaoming if he can take him out with him and introduce him to a job. It would be best if he can work in a factory where he knows someone.
Some people want to know how he got so lucky and met such a noble person.
Among these people, some have known Ning Shaoming since childhood and grew up with him, some have watched Ning Shaoming grow up, and of course some were watched grow up by Ning Shaoming.
A year ago, we were all just ordinary people in the small town.
But a year later, Ning Shaoming actually met a friend whose relative ran a factory.
He looked a little different than before, as if he had more of a city person vibe.
This makes many people feel very complicated and they can't describe how they feel.
In the main room, Zhao Ruyue had already opened her shop, and almost everyone who planned to buy socks bought ten pairs at a time.
Originally, we should buy some new clothes, new shoes, new socks and so on for the family during the Chinese New Year. Since the quality here is good and the price is cheap, it would be a shame not to buy some.
Ten pairs may seem like a lot, but if the whole family shares them, each person will only have one or two pairs.
If there are many people in the family and they are still like the Ning family, they won’t be enough to share even if they buy twenty pairs.
Those who didn't bring money hurried back to get it. Zhao Ruyue said that there were only two bags of socks and they would be gone after they were sold out. This made many people feel a sense of urgency, fearing that they would come back too late and not be able to buy the socks. They even ran back to get the money.
It just so happened that when these people met acquaintances on the road, they excitedly told them that Zhao Ruyue had cheap socks for sale and asked them to go there quickly.
As a result, more and more people came to buy, a bag of socks was almost sold out, and the number of people coming gradually decreased.
Some people sold their socks and then took a fancy to other things and asked Zhao Ruyue how to sell them.
Zhao Ruyue hadn't sorted those things yet. Plus, she had been in the car for such a long time and hadn't had a good rest when she got home. Now she had to deal with so many people. She was really tired.
Just tell them that these will only be sold tomorrow, so if you want to pick good ones, remember to come early tomorrow.
After the women finished their shopping, they chatted for a while before slowly dispersing. When Ning Shaoming came back, the rest of the people also left.
It was not easy for Ning Shaoming to deal with the men who came to inquire about his situation.
The couple looked at each other and both felt tired physically and mentally. They wanted to go back to their room and lie down to rest for a while.
But the matter is not over yet. Their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law probably have a lot of questions waiting to be asked to them.
Ning Shaoming was just about to take the opportunity when his sister-in-law was taking the things Zhao Ruyue had given her back to her room and put them away, while his parents, elder brother and nephew were still outside, to tell Zhao Ruyue his thoughts and change what he said to his family.
Two little heads suddenly popped out of the door.
