Chapter 62: Setting up the stall was difficult
You can wear whatever you want at Yan's house, and there's no need to dress nicely in class.
This dress was bought for my mother and Sister Hang.
The dark green color matches her skin tone and looks best on Sister Hang, especially with a circle of lace at the neckline, which makes her look gentle and intellectual, and definitely looks good.
The blue one is for Wang Silan to wear. She can wear it when visiting relatives and friends even if she doesn’t wear it on the stall.
My second sister has liked red since she was a child, and it is also a popular color this year, so Hang Jingshu picked this color for her.
I also bought some soft cotton fabric to make clothes for my children.
Finally, he bought a pair of thick cotton shoes for his parents at the supply and marketing cooperative. After spending most of his salary, Hang Jingshu was satisfied and got on the bus to set off.
He went to Sister Hang's house first, and then bought some rice candies at the intersection before knocking on Hang Jingmei's door.
"Hey, who's here?" Hang Jingmei asked as she opened the gate and saw the little sister standing outside the door with a smile on her face.
"Ah, little sister!"
Hang Jingmei rushed over to hug her little sister, then pulled Hang Jingshu to look around, "I haven't seen you for more than a month. How come you've become so beautiful? You got your salary, right? Look at you, you're so proud and you just spend money recklessly!"
People at home always blamed me for spending too much money. Hang Jingshu suppressed his sourness and said with a smile: "Sister, let's go inside and talk. My hands hurt from carrying all these things."
Hang Jingmei is 9 years older than Hang Jingshu, and she raised her younger sister almost by herself since she was a child.
Although Heini's face was dark when she was little, her skin was tender and white. Now that she has grown up and doesn't have to run back and forth in the mountains anymore, her skin has finally become whiter.
Looking at what she was holding, Hang Jingmei knew that this child must have bought everything for the whole family.
Although she was very happy to see her sister, Hang Jingmei still couldn't help nagging: "When you were working, didn't your mother tell you to save money and not spend it recklessly?"
Hang Jingshu did not refute her. Instead, he took out the sweater he bought for his elder sister from his bag with a smile and showed it off to her like a treasure: "Sister, do you think the color is nice? I know the owner of that store, and I guarantee it's super cheap."
Hang Jingmei almost jumped up when she saw the sweater. "What the hell are you buying, kid? A sweater is so expensive!"
She and her colleagues had seen this sweater while shopping, and it cost 40 yuan!
Even if Hang Jingmei was rich, she couldn't bear to buy it!
This kid, whose salary is not even as high as his own, actually bought two pieces. What a waste of money!
Hang Jingshu, however, stuffed the sweater into the hands of his elder sister without giving any explanation: "Sister, I am not wasting money. If you and your brother-in-law hadn't introduced the job to me, I might have been working in a factory. There is no such easy job as the Yan family. You have to take this sweater. I also bought one for my mother and my second sister!"
Hearing her sister say she wanted to thank her, Sister Hang waved her hands repeatedly: "Why thank you? Besides, your brother-in-law was promoted to squad leader because of the job I introduced to you. We should thank you too!"
"Take this sweater back and return it!"
Hang Jingmei was afraid that her younger sister would not be willing, so she even wanted to pull her up and take her there directly. She also warned Hang Jingshu: "Ni, you have to save this money well, it's for school!"
Moreover, Sister Hang and her husband have agreed that they will pay half of their younger sister's living expenses when she goes to school.
We are all family members, we cannot let our children waste their time.
Hang Jingshu stuffed the sweater directly into the hands of his elder sister, and then he leaned over to her and said coquettishly, "Sister, I feel bad if I don't spend the money I earn on my family. We are a family, who should I spend it on if I don't spend it on you?"
Making everyone's life better is Hang Jingshu's goal!
Sister Hang was so touched by her younger sister's coquettish attack that her voice was choked with sobs. Although she still complained about Hang Jingshu, she no longer refused.
"Kid, this is your last chance, save the remaining money for yourself and don't waste it."
"Okay, okay, sister, let's try it."
Everyone loves beauty, and Hang Jingmei is no exception.
This sweater is well-tailored. It fits well and makes her look elegant and intellectual, adding a unique feminine charm to Sister Hang.
Hang Jingshu naturally kept praising her, "Sister, you look so good in it!"
"Sister, this dress makes you look fair and beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy!"
"Sister, you have such a great figure. If you wear this, people will be jealous!"
After performing this combo, Hang Jingmei couldn't stop smiling. After putting on the sweater, she realized that the workmanship was really good. No wonder it could be sold for so much money.
Seeing that it was almost time, Hang Jingshu took out the rice candy and put it down, then said to Sister Hang who was still looking in the mirror: "Sister, I have to go first. Mom is setting up a stall in the county today, and I have to go and see her."
Hang Jingmei felt very regretful: "Why don't you have lunch here before leaving? Your brother-in-law and Jinbao will be back soon."
Today, my brother-in-law Wang Xiangchun took his son to my mother-in-law's house and said they would be back before noon.
Hang Jingshu was still thinking about Wang Silan, so he took Sister Hang's arm and said, "I just want to eat the meat cakes at the market. I haven't eaten them for a long time. Let's eat them here next time we come."
There is no pretense between sisters. Hang Jingmei sent her younger sister to the car, bought a ticket for her, and watched Hang Jingshu leave.
Compared with the quiet urban area, the county fair is much more lively.
There are the sounds of various animals, the lively bargaining between vendors and customers, and the tempting aroma of various foods.
There are always one or two vendors selling meat pie at the market, usually a couple. There is a mountain of meat filling piled on the chopping board, and they make it on the spot when someone buys it.
Next to it was a pot made from an oil barrel that was more than half a person's height. The meat patties were made to the right thickness and the moment they were put into the pot, oil bubbled up.
The half-fried and half-deep-fried meat pie has a crispy and crispy outside and a greasy taste when you bite it. It is the old taste in many people's memories.
Hang Jingshu was a wealthy man, so he bought 10 pieces of meat pie at 0.2 cents each, and he kept both pots for himself.
The meat filling soaked through the inner wall of the cake, which was soft with a meaty aroma, and the crust was crispy. Hang Jingshu walked through the market with the meat cake wrapped in straw paper.
Seeing how generous Hang Jingshu was, the vendors along the road became very enthusiastic towards her. Those selling oranges, pears, and apples all waved at her.
Hang Jingshu bought some bean curd along the way to relieve his greasy feeling. Ten pieces of meat cakes seemed like a lot, but Hang Renshan could eat two at a time.
Hang Jingshu didn't intend to let the old couple eat this as lunch, so just use it as a cushion.
Nowadays, the market is simply divided into areas. After passing the food stalls, you will reach the daily necessities and daily necessities area.
Hang Jingshu immediately saw his parents busy in the crowd. It seemed that business was still booming.
As a result, the sales of straw hats and shoes in the surrounding area also increased.
Fortunately, I brought a basket and a cloth bag with me today, otherwise it would be difficult to carry so many things.
"Sold out, come back next market!" Before 10 o'clock, all the goods Wang Silan brought were sold out again, and even people from other counties came to buy them.
Wang Silan is very business-savvy. She even placed two mirrors on her stall so that one can visually see the wearing effect.
The sales volume has never been bad.
As a result, before Hang Jingshu could even walk through the crowd, a quarrel broke out on the other end.
"Get out of the way!" Several people with red armbands on their arms appeared ferociously.
He pointed at Wang Silan's stall, looked her up and down, and then spoke fiercely: "You didn't pay the stall fee today! Who allowed you to set up a stall here!"
