After playing with his grandchildren for a while, Dad Lu went to the study to talk with Lu Xiaotang, while Mom Lu played with the children.
Song Mingyuan, Lu Xiaoran, and Xu Ning were sitting on the sofa talking, "Xiao Ning, I ran into Lin Miao when I was setting up a stall yesterday. She was also selling clothes, and the styles were similar to ours."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, the market is so big. More people will join this industry in the future, and the competition will become more and more fierce. We should prepare early."
"Yes, Mingyu and I are planning to open a clothing store during this period. Xiaoning, when are you planning to open your store?"
"My shop is ready and can be opened anytime."
Lu Xiaoran asked, "Xiaoning, you still have to go to school, who will help you look after the store?"
"They are Xiaotang's former comrades-in-arms. They came yesterday and I plan to hand over the clothing store to them for management.
But I plan to open two stores, one selling men's clothing and the other selling women's clothing, and I won't have enough manpower.
In a few days, Xiaotang and several of his comrades will come over, and they will be arranged to work in the clothing store. ”
She asked again: "Sister, brother-in-law, who will help you look after your clothing store?"
"Mingyuan and I discussed and decided to invite my two elder sisters-in-law to help run the store. We have to pay wages to hire others, and the money is not as good as what we can earn ourselves.
The work points they earn in the countryside are just enough to make ends meet, and they have several children in school. They come here to help us sell clothes, and the money they earn can also subsidize the family. ”
Xu Ning nodded in agreement. Lu Xiaoran had said before that when she was in the countryside, her two elder sisters-in-law treated her very well. Now that they are capable, they will definitely help them.
"Sister, brother-in-law, a new batch of models arrived yesterday. I brought you 100 pieces today. When you sell them all, come to my place and get them."
"Okay, someone asked me a few days ago if I had any new styles. I said they would arrive in two days, so I'll show them tomorrow."
Lu Xiaotang came down from upstairs, checked the time, and said, "Xiao Ning, I have something to talk to Huo Zhenting about. If I don't come back at noon, you don't have to wait for me to eat."
"Okay, I understand."
Niu Niu and Pi Pi were a little unhappy. They pouted and asked him, "Dad, you finally got a day off. Why don't you stay at home with us? Why are you going out again?"
Pippi also complained: "Dad, didn't you say this morning that you would take us to the park after lunch? You didn't keep your word. Shame on you."
Lu Xiaotang glanced at the two brothers and said, "When did Dad ever break his word?
I said I would take you to the park this afternoon, and I will definitely not go back on my word. Now I have to go do some work, so you all stay at home. ”
Xu Ning saw that his face looked a little strange, so he quickly pulled Niu Niu and Pi Pi and said, "Be obedient. If Daddy has something to do in the afternoon, Mommy will take you out to play."
Xu Ning sent Lu Xiaotang to the door before asking, "What happened?"
He sighed and said, "My father just told me that Uncle Huo's condition is not getting better, and the old man doesn't agree to have the operation, so my father asked me to go and persuade him."
"What's the disease? Is it serious?"
"As for the heart disease, if he agrees to have the surgery, the chances are still very good."
"Then go and persuade him. Since he can be cured, why don't you agree? It's not good to hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor."
Lu Xiaotang nodded and walked towards the Huo family.
When Peter Ho opened the door and saw it was him, he pointed upstairs and said, "Go and have a look! I can't persuade him. He won't listen to me and even scolded me. He's now sulking in the study."
Huo Zhenting's mother was sitting on the sofa wiping her tears. When she saw him come in, she stood up and said, "Xiaotang, go upstairs and persuade your uncle Huo.
That old man is so stubborn and won't listen to anyone. We really have no idea what to do with him. ”
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go up and take a look."
Knock, knock, knock. Lu Xiaotang knocked on the door a few times, and a loud voice came from inside: "Get lost! If anyone persuades me to have surgery again, I will cut off all ties with him."
"Uncle Huo, it's me, Xiaotang."
There was silence inside for a moment, and after a while, the door opened from the inside.
"It's Xiaotang, why are you here? Did that brat ask you to come and persuade me? Let me tell you, if you came here for this, I will kick you out anyway."
"Uncle Huo, Zhen Ting didn't ask me to come here. I just heard someone making fun of you, so I came to see what's going on."
Chief Huo slammed the table and said, "Laughing at me? Which bastard dares to laugh at me? Xiaotang, tell me, who is it? I will break his legs."
Lu Xiaotang first apologized to Han Rui's father in his heart, and then began to sow discord.
He sighed and said, "Uncle Huo, who else could it be? It's your old enemy, Chief Han.
He heard that you were so scared that you didn't even dare to have a minor surgery, so he made up stories about you outside.
He said that you would die soon and no one would disagree with him anymore.
I heard that he has a particularly good appetite these past two days and is so happy that he eats an extra bowl of rice at every meal. ”
Chief Huo walked around the room angrily and said, "How dare you, old Han donkey, to frame me like this? Humph, I won't do what he wants.
Xiaotang, go back and tell your father to arrange surgery for me as soon as possible. When I recover, I will go and settle the score with that old Hanlu. ”
