Chapter 670: Grand Opening
On the 7th, Xu Hao took six people to the city to study and did not return until the evening of the 8th.
December 9th is an auspicious day, suitable for opening a business or making money.
Early in the morning of that day, the "Bu Ruyun" shoe store officially opened for business on the busiest and most prosperous street in the city.
With Xu Hao's brain and Chen Dapeng's assistance, the opening was naturally very lively.
It can be said that as soon as the firecrackers sounded, people rushed in so densely that there were three layers inside and three layers outside.
The head of the group's family had never seen such a lively scene. She exclaimed: "There are so many people in the city."
"Hahaha……"
Xu Zijin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Come on, sister-in-law, let's be sales clerks for a day!"
It’s only 1982, and the job of a salesperson is particularly attractive.
This is a job that people of this generation would do anything to get what they want.
When the head of the group's family heard this, they also laughed and said, "Let's go and spend a day incense-watching."
There is only one private shoe store of this size in the city.
The shoes in the store are mainly various types of leather shoes, cloth shoes, and sports shoes, supplemented by Warrior shoes and rain boots, and no tickets are required.
Except for leather shoes which are a bit more expensive, the prices of other shoes are mostly three to five yuan a pair.
So that day, from the time the store opened at 8:18 in the morning until after 4:30 in the afternoon, the number of people visiting the store gradually decreased.
The leader's family member's voice was hoarse from shouting, and her legs felt as heavy as lead, but the smile on her face never stopped.
"Xiao Xu, this job of a salesperson is very prestigious, but it's really tiring."
"Hahaha……"
Xu Zijin laughed again: "Sister-in-law, the salespeople at the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are really tired."
"Why? Because they only get paid to watch, but our money is our own."
"Hahaha……"
The family members of the group leader were also happy: "You are absolutely right! We are physically tired, but we are in a good mood."
"As long as I think about not having to worry about spending a few cents more in the future, I feel very happy."
The team leader’s salary is high, but it’s only over 140 yuan a month.
The team leader's family works in a government agency, and their monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan.
Although the combined salary of the couple is beyond the reach of many ordinary families, they have three children to raise and parents to take care of on both sides, so they cannot spend money lavishly.
Hearing this, Xu Zijin sighed: "Sister-in-law, the people are still too poor now. I hope things will get better in the future."
yes.
The family members of the team leader also understand this well. In many ordinary families, the combined salary of the couple is only a hundred yuan, but they have to support three or four, or even four or five children.
How can it be good?
Thinking about their future lives, the head of the group's family members were full of confidence: "Xiao Xu, the country is already developing its economy, and I believe our lives will get better and better."
Xu Zijin nodded: "Yes, I will."
Xu Zijin was so tired that he didn’t even eat dinner when he got home and went straight to sleep.
I slept for more than two hours and when I woke up it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
"woke up?"
"Well, what time is it?"
Xu Zijin lay in the bed without moving, and smiled lazily at Lu Hanzhou.
"Eight o'clock, get up and eat something, I'll massage your feet later."
"Ahem"
"What's wrong with you?"
Xu Zijin coughed twice, and Lu Hanzhou was shocked.
"It's just that my throat is dry. I talked a lot today. I don't feel any discomfort anywhere. I'll just chew two throat lozenges and I'll be fine."
His wife works so hard, Lu Hanzhou knows what she wants to do.
On the one hand, I want to help those comrades who have difficulties in life after retirement, and on the other hand, I feel sorry for these brothers who defend our country.
Having such a good daughter-in-law, every pore of Lu Hanzhou's body was filled with gratitude.
"Let's go eat. I'll give you a foot massage later."
The grain and oil store is far away in the provincial capital, while the shoe store is on the busiest street in the city center.
At dinner that day, Yao Ziying said to Political Commissar Lin with a mysterious look on her face: "Old Lin, did you know that the regiment commander's family and Xiao Xu opened a shop?"
What?
Political Commissar Lin stopped picking up the food and opened his mouth: "How did you know?"
Yao Ziying works in the city, and coincidentally, her workplace is not far from the shoe store.
"I heard from a colleague this morning that a shoe store opened on the street today, and the big posters were posted everywhere."
"It says on it, new style from Guangdong Province, quality and quantity guaranteed."
"What else? On the opening day, ten styles of shoes are half price."
"We went there together at noon and found that the head of the group's sister-in-law and Xiao Xu were both in the store."
"At first, I thought they were also going to buy shoes, but when I looked closely, I realized they were helping to collect money."
"Think about it, if it wasn't my own store, I could let them help collect the money."
Political Commissar Lin raised his eyes and nodded: "That should be it."
Having said this, he continued eating.
Yao Ziying looked at him in shock: "Is that all you said?"
Political Commissar Lin looked up at her and frowned: "So what do you want to hear me say?"
Yao Ziying opened her mouth and said, "The army shouldn't allow them to do this, right?"
"Why?"
Political Commissar Lin was a scholar and he really didn't understand.
Yao Ziying was furious: "They are military families, how can they do business?"
Political Commissar Lin frowned: "Who told you that military family members can't do business?"
"Now the country advocates the development of individual economy, and everything is centered on economic construction. They did not break the law."
When Yao Ziying heard this, her face turned even darker.
"Is it illegal? The leader's family members are employed, can they still do business?"
Political Commissar Lin really didn't know this.
"The policy doesn't mention this, so I don't know if it's possible."
Now, Yao Ziying was really mad.
"They are forming cliques! The regiment commander and the chief of staff are in cahoots with each other. This is wrong!"
Finally, Political Commissar Lin began to understand.
"You're angry because Xiao Xu didn't ask you to do business together, right?"
This time, Yao Ziying completely exploded!
She threw her chopsticks onto the table with a loud bang: "Who cares about that filthy money!"
"I want to start a business. Can't I do it myself?"
"The policy doesn't stipulate that only they can do business and I can't!"
"They do this to isolate you!"
Political Commissar Lin came to serve as the political commissar two years ago. After hearing this, he opened his mouth, blinked his eyes, and began to think.
But come to think of it, since Lu Hanzhou became chief of staff, the team in the regiment seems to be more united.
"You think too much."
Yao Ziying was so angry that she couldn't eat anymore.
She felt that marrying such a nerd was the biggest failure in her life.
Xu Zijin didn't know that Yao Ziying had conjunctivitis, but even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.
If someone is going to get sick, who can stop him?
The next day, she went to Yang's house.
"Godmother, my two classmates and I opened a grain and oil store in the province and a shoe store in the city."
"The seasonings in the provincial capital are very good. I brought some for you."
"These two pairs of cotton-leather boots are made entirely of cowhide. They are perfect for snowy days. One pair for you and one pair for your godfather."
