Chapter 227 Another Year
"If we see someone cutting in line, we will go over and collect the temporary stall fee. This requires someone to patrol back and forth constantly." The reason why Xu Zhiming took over this market was because he had collected fees in this market before and had some understanding of market management.
However, at the previous market, only four people were responsible for collecting fees, and the management was chaotic and the accounts were unclear, which led to the villagers complaining and slandering each other, and even taking the matter to the city. Only then did the village decide to outsource the business.
"That's right, but the two of you aren't enough." Su Jiaojiao pointed to all the intersections and said, "Security personnel should be posted at these intersections to direct and coordinate vehicles entering and exiting to ensure smooth traffic."
"Also, there's no traffic light at this intersection, which will cause traffic congestion. You'd better go to the traffic police brigade and apply for a temporary traffic light. Once this intersection is blocked, traffic on the entire road will be affected."
It is understandable that there are occasional traffic jams near a market.
But if it is blocked every time, it will definitely be reported.
"Is it so troublesome?" the two said in unison. They had not thought about this. There were often traffic jams around the market before, but no one took it seriously.
Everyone comes to the market either on bicycles or tricycles, so traffic jams are inevitable, but if you can avoid them, it is certainly a good idea.
After all, no one wants to be stuck in traffic when going to the market.
"I'm just making a suggestion. You don't have to follow it." Su Jiaojiao had finished reading and put away the paper and pen. "Let's go back and think about it. Let's meet again after the New Year!"
Although it is not your business, since you have intervened, you must make sure to do it well.
Su Jiaojiao felt that she might have obsessive-compulsive disorder. This habit was not good, but for now, she couldn't change it.
"Okay, let's talk about it after the New Year." Liang Kun nodded and said to Xu Zhiming, "My cousin and I will go back first. We will contact each other then."
Snowflakes were falling from the sky.
People in the community set off firecrackers from time to time, and the festive atmosphere became stronger.
Chen Guilan had already prepared dinner and was waiting at home.
Liang Kun sent Su Jiaojiao downstairs and left. Today is New Year's Day, so he had to go back, otherwise Liang Wencai would definitely come to his house.
"Your second uncle just came over and insisted we go back to the village for the New Year. I told him you weren't back yet, so I persuaded him to leave and said we should visit him on the third day of the New Year. I told him to stay home and do his homework, so he can come over to our house." Chen Guilan cooked six dishes and wrapped the dumplings early. "Ding Mei also came over a while ago and brought a box of canned food and two pounds of cake. She said they would go back to work on the sixth day and would come over to play with us then."
"Then it's just right for them to come to our house for lunch at noon on the sixth day of the New Year. We won't go anywhere for the New Year this year and will just stay at our own home." Su Jiaojiao is very satisfied with her new home. The living experience in the community is also good. If she has nothing to do, she likes to stay in her room all day to do her homework.
Looking back on this year's hustle and bustle, Su Jiaojiao would rather live this simple and warm life. When she returns home, she can eat the meals cooked by her mother. For her, this is the greatest happiness.
After dinner, the mother and daughter snuggled on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala and stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
Snowflakes were fluttering outside the window, the north wind was howling, and the house was fully heated. At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Chen Guilan went to the kitchen to cook dumplings. According to the customs of Jiao County, she lit incense in the kitchen, worshiped devoutly, and chatted with Qin Shuang for a while before going back to sleep.
Su Jiaojiao couldn't sleep, so she opened her phone and replied to Lu Jingyou's text message, and sent him a New Year's greeting text message. Lu Jingyou said that he had returned to the capital from Guangzhou and would come to Jiao County when he had time.
His work focus this year was originally on Qingyuan, but as things turned out, there were serious flaws in the business segment that Lu Jiaping was in charge of. Not only did he lose a lot of money, but he also had to fight a lawsuit with two clients for several months.
Lu Jingyou had no choice but to go over and deal with the mess.
Su Jiaojiao was not interested in the Lu family's affairs. After sending the text message, she took the floor plan of Jiaoxian Market, sat at the study table, and carefully made the plan.
Contracting a large market is a very profitable business. As long as you plan well, you will not lose money.
But contracting the big market is not that simple. It is a piece of fat meat, and many people are definitely eyeing it. The only thing that is beneficial to Liang Kun now is that Xu Zhiming is from Tishan Village.
A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If someone from the village comes forward to do things, many things will be much easier.
Liang Kun also talked to Liang Wencai at home about contracting the market.
Su Xiumei was disdainful when she heard this, but she didn't say anything and went back to the house with the child.
She said that it would be good to just work honestly. If she didn't work in the meat processing factory, she could go to other units, such as Su Houli's garment factory.
Liang Kun is so ambitious that he insists on contracting the Jiaoxian Market without even taking a peek to see how much he weighs.
What made her even more angry was that Liang Kun actually went to Su Jiaojiao to discuss the matter. This was clearly an intentional slap in her face. She didn't have any contact with Su Jiaojiao, so what was the point of him having contact with Su Jiaojiao?
I'm afraid Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao are both feeling proud in their hearts. Even Liang Kun has come to them for begging. In the future, they will only become more arrogant.
It’s just that I bought a house in Century Garden with the help of a man. What’s so great about that?
She had heard that the leather jackets Chen Guilan sold in Hualian Department Store were made in the workshop downstairs. There were only three or five people in the workshop. How much money could they make?
While making dumplings, the father and son discussed the contracting fee. Liang Wencai supported Liang Kun's decision: "If you need any help from me, just tell me. I fully support you."
"I'll ask Jiao Jiao to help me keep an eye on it. It shouldn't be a problem." Liang Kun was very confident. As he rolled out the dumpling wrappers, he thought of the dumplings he had at Chen Guilan's house and couldn't help but mention it. "My second aunt's leek and egg dumplings are especially delicious. I went to her house and had two full bowls."
"You even went to their house for dinner!" Liang Wencai felt very unhappy after hearing this. "Come home to eat when you are free. Tell dad what you want to eat and dad will make it for you."
"Okay." Liang Kun agreed.
After Su Xiumei coaxed the child to sleep, she also came out to make dumplings. The father and son stopped talking and fell silent. After a pause, Liang Wencai asked Su Xiumei, "Didn't our mother say when she would be back?"
"What? Are you still holding on to your free babysitter?" Su Xiumei asked Liang Wencai expressionlessly, sarcastically saying, "My mother has been busy for the past six months. Can't she rest at home for a few more days?"
Liang Wencai's parents have passed away long ago, so she can't rely on her in-laws.
I can only ask Xu Yuxiang to take care of the child, otherwise how can she go to work?
"Look at you, I didn't say no!" Liang Wencai didn't want to argue with her and smiled good-naturedly, "What I mean is, when she comes back, I'll pick her up and prepare some New Year gifts and go see her."
"She's spending the New Year with Houli this year. We can just go to Houli and pick her up on the third day of the New Year." Su Xiumei softened her tone after hearing Liang Wencai say this. "Houli's employer allocated a house to them in advance, and they just moved in a few days ago. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't have gone with us."
"The collective housing units at the Qimei Garment Factory are simply decorated and you can move in and live in them right away." Liang Wencai has been to the collective housing units at the Qimei Garment Factory. The quality is pretty good. They were simply decorated when they were delivered, with doors and toilets, and the floors were cement, so you can move in and live in them right away.
For Su Houli, it was already very good.
Even if he wanted a fine binding, he had no money.
