"So this auntie also knows Lan Qing! Your skin is so good, but it's a pity that it's a little dry due to the cold weather. I'll give you some of this moisturizing cream for free. It will definitely make your skin better."
As Hongmi spoke, she scooped out some of the moisturizing cream she had opened earlier and handed it to the middle-aged woman who was speaking.
Ding Xianghong took a look and quickly caught it with her palm.
Hongmi took the mirror from Hu Xi's hand and looked at herself:
"Aunt, look, there's some peeling around your nose and mouth. Try applying this on your hands."
Ding Xianghong faced the mirror and applied the moisturizing cream evenly. Hongmi said:
"Aunt, your skin looks moist and shiny now. If you don't know me, you might think you are younger than me.
This complexion looks much better than before, if you don't believe me, ask your comrades. "
Ding Xianghong looked at everyone expectantly. Everyone took a look and nodded.
"Yes, Comrade Ding's face is so smooth now. It's not an exaggeration to say that she looks like an 18-year-old girl."
Hongmi looked at the person who spoke in surprise. She finally met someone who was better at lying than her.
But it was obvious that Ding Xianghong really liked to hear people praising her like this, and she said with a smile:
"What nonsense are you talking about? But after applying the facial oil, the face does look a little smoother than before."
Ding Xianghong took a mirror to look at him carefully, and Hongmi took the opportunity to sell him a product. "Comrade Ding's face is just caused by the dry weather and the rapid loss of moisture. If you insist on using a set of Lan & Qing's products for more than a week, I guarantee that your skin will be smoother and more hydrated than it is now."
Ding Xianghong was very tempted, but the cheapest set cost 31 yuan, which was a bit high for her now.
Hongmi saw her embarrassment and said with a smile: "If Ms. Ding is not confident about our products, you can buy a bottle of facial oil to try it out.
Although the effect is not as good as a whole set, it can greatly improve the skin if used for a long time. "
"Okay, give me a moisturizing cream first, and when I find it effective, I'll buy the others. 14 yuan, right?"
As he said this, he took money out of his pocket.
Hongmi responded cheerfully, taking the money with one hand and handing over the things with the other.
When other female comrades saw him, they were also moved.
Redmi continues to deceive people.
After the crowd at the gate of the family compound quieted down, Hongmi counted the number of items sold, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
In just over half an hour, she sold a total of 46 cans, including three sets of nine cans, and the remaining 37 were all single items.
Hongmi quickly packed up the stall and prepared to rush to the next point.
Hu Xi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. "Big sister, you are really good at talking. You almost fooled these people just now. I think you can do business."
Hongmi chuckled and whispered, "It's not just the commune cadres and their families who live here, there are also the families of the steel mill workers. Those people have some spare money, so they can easily be persuaded by me to pay for things."
Hu Xi understood, but still admired her eloquence.
While Hongmi was trying hard to promote his products in the commune, Qian Xiaolan was not idle at home either.
After breakfast in the morning, the three sisters-in-law of the Gu family told him their decision.
They all wanted to try to do some business, but their choices were different.
Mrs. Gu is a good cook and wants to open a small restaurant in the commune’s Pan family store.
Mrs. Gu is good at making clothes and wants to rent a store to make clothes for others and also sell some ready-made clothes.
But she felt that the clothes in Anshi were not as nice as those in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so she wanted Qian Xiaolan to help her get a few sets of samples.
Mrs. Gu San didn't have any outstanding skills, but she was quite good at talking. She wanted to do the same as Hongmi and sell some goods first. If they passed the test, she would open a small shop in the commune.
The three sisters-in-law had their own ideas, and the three brothers had no objection, so Qian Xiaolan agreed.
Look, we are busy again with everyone.
Collecting herbs, cutting bamboo, washing herbs, making bamboo tubes, cleaning, disinfecting, and drying...
Everyone is already familiar with the process and can find work on their own without Qian Xiaolan's instructions.
Qian Xiaolan looked at the smiles on everyone's faces and smiled unconsciously.
Regardless of whether things will change in the future, the mood at this moment is worth recording.
She turned back to the house, took out the camera from the space, and started pressing the shutter at the scene of everyone busying themselves.
The sound of "click, click" rang out in the yard. Everyone turned around and was surprised to see the camera in Qian Xiaolan's hand.
Mrs. Gu even posed in a few places and asked Qian Xiaolan to take pictures of her.
The children who were playing with Guoguo outside the yard heard the noise in the yard and ran in to take pictures.
Qian Xiaolan accepted everyone's invitation and took enough photos for everyone at once, even taking several family photos.
In the end, three rolls of film were used, and the children had not yet taken enough photos, so Hu Guifen slapped each of them:
"Just take one photo. Why take so many photos? Are you going to eat or something? Is the film free? Is developing the photos free? Get out of here!"
The children were scolded by their grandmother and could only reluctantly take Guoguo out to play.
Qian Xiaolan laughed and shouted at their backs:
"I have a roll of film in my room. When your Aunt Hongmi and Uncle Huxi come back, we'll call your uncle and his family to come over and take pictures together."
"Oh yeah!"
The children now ran away cheering.
"Just spoil them." Hu Guifen reached out and pointed at Qian Xiaolan helplessly.
Qian Xiaolan chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Mom, money can't buy the innocent smiles of children.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye. If we don’t leave something for our children, they won’t be able to see it again in the future.”
Hu Guifen thought so too and instantly stopped feeling sorry for the money.
Since she was not needed in the yard for the time being, Qian Xiaolan took Guoguo for a walk around the village.
Now, more than two years have passed, and the village is still the same, except that the educated youth and the people who were sent down to the countryside are missing.
Along the way, she met many villagers, and they all greeted Qian Xiaolan enthusiastically.
"Hey, Xiaolan is back! This must be your and Lao Ba's daughter, she's so cute!"
"Xiaolan hasn't been back for several years, right? How long can she stay this time?"
"Where's Lao Ba? Why doesn't he come out for a walk after coming back? Is he still as shy as a young wife?"
…
Qian Xiaolan smiled and answered the villagers' questions one by one, and then taught Guoguo to call for help.
After going around, there are only this grandfather and that grandmother.
Guoguo's little head was filled with confusion.
Every time Qian Xiaolan pointed at someone and called her "Grandpa" or "Grandma", she would always look back in the direction of her home.
Meaning her grandparents are at home.
Qian Xiaolan understood what she meant and explained to her with a smile: "If you want to call these people uncles and aunts, it's the same as you call uncles and aunts."
Guoguo said "Oh" and nodded continuously, which made everyone laugh.
