Doudou is a social butterfly who can chat with anyone.
His greatest pleasure is chatting with people and learning about the ways of the world and how to deal with family matters through their words.
In addition, he is good-looking, sweet-spoken and polite. When Jian Yuelan had not yet recognized all the business owners in the old street, this kid had already recognized everyone by relying on his social skills and the old man.
Seeing several shop owners gathered together to chat, the kid immediately said with a sweet smile, "Auntie Ma, you look so beautiful today. You are definitely the most beautiful shop owner on this street."
Turning his gaze, the child smiled sweetly at the owner of the herbal tea shop again, "Grandma Liu, I saw your little grandson today. He will definitely be a talented person when he grows up."
“Puhahaha——”
Everyone burst into laughter, and Liu Ya couldn't help but laugh as she took out a White Rabbit from her pocket and handed it to him, "Did you eat honey today?"
"No."
The child didn't rush to take the candy. Instead, after answering her question, he glanced at Jian Yuelan. Seeing her nod, he took the candy and thanked her. "I'm an honest person and never lie. Grandma, please believe me. This young man is definitely a talented person."
"Okay, okay, grandma believes you, and I also thank you on behalf of my Xiaoxu."
"You're welcome."
The child waved his little hand and chatted with everyone for a few more words before taking Jian Yuelan's hand and saying goodbye.
The pastry shop owner looked at the family of four walking away and couldn't help but say with envy, "Xiao Jian is really capable. The son she gave birth to is also amazing."
"I don't envy Xiao Jian's abilities, I envy Dou Dou for having such a good education."
Liu Ya's eyes fell on Dou Dou. The child walked steadily and did not jump around. She didn't know what Xiao Jian and the others said, but it made the child laugh.
The laughter is crisp and pleasant, which makes people feel good.
"I can't envy you the education part."
The speaker was the restaurant owner, Wei Xiaomai, whose voice matched her carefree personality. "The elders of Xiao Jian's family were all university graduates decades ago. They have a lot of experience. Doudou has been educated by two such elders. We can't catch up even if we flatter them."
"We can only let our children strive for excellence and see if the next generation can be better."
Grocery store owner Dou Guilan is not interested in Xiao Doudou's education, but only in Jian Yuelan's income.
She looked at Jian Yuelan's back and whispered, "How much do you think Xiao Jian makes in a day?"
"I feel like she makes more in a day than we make in a year."
Everyone: “…”
Everyone knows that among all the shops on North Street, Xiao Jian makes the most money.
The store’s customer flow is there, and the prices of the clothes are also there.
As neighbors, even if they don't know the exact daily revenue figures of Xiao Jian's store, they can guess roughly.
After exchanging glances, Wei Xiaomai said casually, "No matter how much money she makes, it has nothing to do with us. We can't learn her ability to make money even if we want to."
This is the truth. Most women know how to make clothes, but not everyone can make clothes look good and sell them at a good price.
“Making clothes is not difficult.”
Dou Guilan continued unconvinced, and Liu Ya rolled her eyes when she heard it. "Some people are always thinking about the money in other people's pockets. Bah, shameless."
"You guys chat, I'm going back to the store."
It's already old, but it's still so meaningless. It's disgusting.
She got up and went back into the store.
Wei Xiaomai and the others felt a little embarrassed, and they all stood up and made excuses to go back to the store.
Dou Guilan's smile froze when she was left behind. She was silent for a while, turned around and walked into the store, muttering something like "more than a thousand".
Just then, her son came to her to ask for money and thought she had more than a thousand yuan, so he was immediately happy.
"Mom, give me five hundred yuan..."
The noisy voice startled the absent-minded Dou Guilan. When she came to her senses and heard that he wanted 500 yuan, she immediately exploded, "How can I have 500 yuan? I don't even have 100 yuan."
But her son didn't believe it.
"Bullshit, I just heard you say you have more than a thousand."
"No."
She felt in her pocket, pulled out a handful of change and handed it over, "That's all."
"How much is this?"
Her son took it and counted it. After counting, he found that there were only about ten yuan. His face fell instantly, "Mom, this is not enough. I want to buy a watch for Xiaoli. Do you still want a daughter-in-law?"
"Daughter-in-law?"
Dou Guilan's eyes lit up. "Have you found a partner? What's their name? Where do they live? What do they do?"
"I found him. He's an accountant in the shipyard's finance department. His parents are both cadres..."
The more Dou Guilan listened, the more delighted she became. With such good family conditions, she would have to find a way to marry this girl named Xiaoli, even if she looked like a pig, not to mention that she was pretty.
that is--
"But son, I don't have that much money. How about you take her to buy some clothes?"
In a flash, she thought of Four Seasons. "It's the clothing store called Four Seasons on the street. The clothes there are beautiful and stylish. Xiaoli will definitely like it. You can take her to Four Seasons to buy clothes."
I don't believe that the girl would have the nerve to ask for a watch after buying clothes.
Although clothes for all seasons are expensive, watches are even more expensive.
"But Xiaoli only wants a watch. She has clothes. Mom, please help me think of a way. Whether I can marry Xiaoli depends on whether I can buy her a watch."
"As long as I can make Xiaoli happy, her father will arrange for me to work in the shipyard for her sake. A watch in exchange for a wife and a job, it's worth it, mom."
This is not only a good deal, it is a great deal.
However, Dou Guilan had no money. Even if she was sold, she could not afford to buy a watch.
But if I don’t buy a watch, I won’t have a daughter-in-law, let alone a daughter-in-law with such good conditions...
She looked conflicted, and after a while she seemed to have made up her mind, "Xiao Ming, I definitely can't come up with the money today. So, I'll borrow it from you tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaoming didn't care who his mother borrowed money from, he only thought about getting the watch once the money arrived.
So, when he learned that her mother was going to borrow money, he said -
"Mom, you're going to borrow all of it, so why not borrow more?"
Dou Guilan thought it made sense, "Then how much do you want to borrow?"
"Five, no, eight hundred."
That’s fine, as long as it’s less than a thousand, it’s not a big problem.
"Okay, I'll lend you 800."
Zhang Xiaoming was pleasantly surprised. "Can you really lend me 800?"
"It's not a big deal."
Dou Guilan was confident, "That person will make money."
"Who are you talking about, Mom?"
"Don't worry about who it is, as long as you know that your mother can borrow money."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Zhang Xiaoming stopped pushing her, but he was anxious to know where his mother borrowed the money from.
So, the next morning after breakfast, he went out early under the pretext of meeting Xiaoli and hid in the alley nearby. After his mother left, he followed her.
Two hours later, his mother came out of the store. Zhang Xiaoming was delighted, knowing that his mother was going to borrow money.
He quickly followed and found that his mother had entered the Four Seasons clothing store.
