Chapter 24 People never live to please others
It was already past four o'clock when we arrived at the county town.
Jiang Wanying originally wanted to find an excuse to send Lu Yanchuan away so that she wouldn't be afraid to display her abilities when selling clothes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the county town, he left the car to me, left a note saying "see you at the restaurant in an hour" and disappeared in the crowd.
Jiang Wanying was eager to do so, but there was only one hour, so she had to make it quick!
She hurriedly rode her bike to the entrance of the grocery store, where there were also many uncles and aunts setting up stalls.
She parked her car in an alley across the street. Although it was not locked, she was not afraid of theft as long as it was within her sight. Besides, there were really few thieves in this era, and most people were simple and kind.
Taking advantage of the parking time, she pulled out a large picnic blanket from the space, then took the clothes and scarves she designed and made, and placed everything in a place that was diagonally facing the door of the store.
Although now is not the best time to sell clothes, Jiang Wanying still wants to give it a try.
There was an auntie selling eggs with a basket nearby. She came over and spoke in a familiar manner, "Little girl, would you like to buy some eggs? They're all laid by our own chickens, and they're really big. I can sell them to you at a low price!"
Jiang Wanying politely declined, "Oh, your eggs look good, but I'm sorry, Auntie, I haven't opened the shop yet. I'll definitely buy them from you when I make some money!"
She didn't say anything final. Instead, she praised first, then refused, and then made some promises, which made the aunt laugh. "Hey! But it's a bit difficult for you to sell clothes here!"
"Why?"
The aunt pointed to the distance and patiently explained to her, "Don't be fooled by the fact that this is a grocery store and there are a lot of people here. In fact, it's only crowded on Sundays. You'll probably have a hard time selling anything here even if you sell all night."
Jiang Wanying listened carefully, took out two oranges from her pocket and stuffed them into the aunt's hand, "These are grown by me. Please try them. If they are good, I will pick some to sell!"
She said it was grown at home, but it was actually grown in her space.
The space is not just a warehouse full of supplies, it also contains high-tech refrigerators with built-in fresh-keeping functions, so the food will not go bad no matter how long it is stored.
"Oh, how embarrassing!" The aunt laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"Don't be polite with me! I have a lot of oranges at home. They will go bad if left for a long time. Just consider it as doing me a favor!" Jiang Wanying coaxed the aunt with her clever words.
"Then I won't be polite!" In this era of material scarcity, two oranges can be said to be a very valuable thing.
The aunt put the oranges into her basket and continued to talk to Jiang Wanying, "There's a school up ahead. You know E'nan Middle School, right? I heard they've hired a lot of female teachers in the past two years. You could try your luck there. Besides, it's almost time for the kids to get out of school."
Jiang Wanying suddenly understood, "Auntie, thank you so much!"
"Oh, you're so polite. I can't help you in any way! Just go over there!" The aunt patted her hands with a kind smile.
Following the direction pointed by the aunt, Jiang Wanying quickly rode her bike to E'nan Middle School.
䥉㹏’s alma mater.
Qianqi dropped out of school after her first year of high school. It wasn't because she was stupid, but because she had no interest in studying. Jiang Dongfang couldn't stand being called to school by their class teacher countless times. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore. After asking Qianqi's wishes, he helped her to go through the withdrawal procedures.
In fact, in addition to not liking to study, Jiang Wanying also had another reason for not wanting to study, that is, she was isolated by all the girls in the class.
