The couple finally got back together so they couldn't help but spend some time together.
Xiang Nuan touched her man's rough face and said, "Did you not apply the vanishing cream again?"
Yan Fangming turned his head and kissed her hand and said, "I'm a grown man, it's not appropriate for me to touch that thing."
Xiang Nuan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "What's inappropriate about it? Aren't your faces as men faces? They're all dry and peeling, but you're still stubborn! You're really getting rougher and rougher."
"If you were like this when we first met, I would follow you!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Fangming gently pinched her waist with his big hand and said with a low laugh, "If you don't come with me, I will snatch you away! If I like you, you have to be my wife!"
Xiang Nuan raised her hand and grabbed his neck, saying viciously: "Captain Yan's ideological awareness is very problematic, he must be judged by the organization!"
Yan Fangming smiled and turned over to lie flat, raising his eyebrows at her with a playful look, "You are welcome to organize a trial at any time."
"Then the organization will correct you!"
Xiang Nuan simply turned over and lay on top of him, educating him in her own way.
…
In 1980, with the development of reform and opening up, Xiang Nuan found that there were many more small vendors in the streets and alleys of Beijing, and there were many people setting up stalls on both sides of the road not far from the entrance of their school. She knew that the time had come.
There are a lot of food, dried goods, vegetables and other foods in the space, and she plans to rent a store to clear out the inventory. If she didn't have time, she could just set up a stall and save some rent.
However, she cannot stay in the store every day after opening it, so she still needs to find someone to look after the store. But the store matters have not been finalized yet, so there is no need to rush.
Summer vacation is coming soon, and Xiang Nuan plans to get the store up and running during the summer vacation so that she can go to school without worry.
So when she didn't have classes or on weekends, she went house hunting. She looked for four or five days in a row before finally deciding on a 40-square-meter storefront within the Second Ring Road. After signing the contract and paying the money, she quickly found someone to renovate it. People don't really pursue a particular decoration style these days, and she was planning to sell some dry goods, so she didn't need a very good decoration. As long as she scraped off the walls and tidied up the place to make it bright and neat, it would be fine.
To open a store, I also needed shelves, so I found a carpenter to customize a batch of shelves and counters before returning to school.
"Fangru, I remember you said before that your cousin was looking for a job, right? Has she found one?"
My roommate Zhao Fangru's cousin was also an educated youth who went to the countryside. She was not good at studying and only had a junior high school education. She did not get into college before and cannot take the exam now. This year, many educated youth began to return to the city, but the jobs in the city were basically saturated, which made many young people forced to become unemployed vagrants. Her cousin was one of them.
Zhao Fangru shook her head. "No, why are you asking?"
Xiang Nuan said, "I opened a small shop to sell some dry goods, but I don't have time to look after the shop, so I want to find a clerk, 25 yuan a month, with benefits during holidays.
Just a few days ago, I heard you talking about your cousin, and I thought it would be better to find someone I know, so I wanted to ask her. If she is willing, we can find a chance to meet her. If it is suitable, she can come to work after our holiday."
When Zhao Fangru heard this, her eyes widened like bells, "You opened a store?!"
This is too shocking. It's like two best friends who have been together for several years and thought they were both paupers, but it turns out that the best friend is a rich second-generation.
