Chapter 1249 Business slows down
. Ice bags cost 10 cents, popsicles cost 20 cents, and ice cream costs 50 cents. Whether it’s Xu Wanning or Lin Quanlin’s mother, as soon as they see how few sticks are left in the refrigerator, they will pack the whole box. Move the box home.
Not only the children love to eat, but Xu Wanning also loves to eat.
She is not greedy, but when she often reads, she habitually likes to eat a popsicle or ice cream, which makes her whole person feel much cooler.
The children are not greedy because they are never short of food. Xu Wanning stipulated that each person should eat no more than two per day, so they will not eat more.
Even a whole box of popsicles only costs four or five yuan when fully charged. This amount of money is really nothing to the Lin family now. Since the children want to share it with their friends, of course she will not refuse.
At night, when Lin Quan came back, he was a little upset when he heard about Chu Nian.
"I have really paid too little attention to the children recently."
"No! Your sister-in-law just came back from Ji Province. She just glanced at Chu Nian a few times and found that something was wrong with Chu Nian's mood. Fortunately, you are still a mother. , you didn't notice anything strange about Chu Nian?"
Lin Quan's lips trembled slightly, and she defended herself softly: "I've been too busy recently..."
"Being busy is not an excuse! Isn't your sister-in-law busier than you? We don't have much time, but we can detect the abnormality of the children at the first time. What about you
? It's your sister-in-law who feels uneasy about you orphans and widowed mothers living outside. Secondly, she also hopes that the children will get along with each other more. Even if they are cousins, their relationship will be as deep as that of real brothers and sisters in the future!"
"But this is not you! "I don't care about Chu Nian Chu Lin's reasons for evading responsibility!"
After being scolded by Lin's mother, Lin Quan still defended herself in a low voice: "I didn't ignore them, they are my children, how could I ignore them every day?" I gave them pocket money and even bought them things..."
"What children need is their mother's companionship and care, not money and material things! Lin Quan, Lin Quan, Chu Nian Chu Lin is different from other children, especially It's Chu Nian. She has been suppressed by the Dai family since she was a child. After Dai Wei became like that, she felt even more stressed. She would scare herself at the slightest disturbance. "
" Logically speaking, at this time, she should. As a mother, you accompany her to comfort her, but it turns out that you are lucky. The child has been sad for two days, and you don't know anything about it? "
Lin Quan really doesn't know. She comes back from work very late every day, and comes back after dinner. They have their own bedroom, and the children are either playing wildly in the yard or doing homework in the bedroom. The contact between mother and daughter is indeed pitiful.
Lin Quan never thought there was any problem with this. Anyway, the children were growing up healthily.
But after Mother Lin said this, Lin Quan realized belatedly how much of a failure she was as a mother.
She completely forced the responsibility of raising and taking care of the children onto Xu Wanning and Mother Lin!
The children still love her now, but their dependence on her is not as deep as Xu Wanning's.
Lin Quan wouldn't be jealous, after all, even she relied on Xu Wanning.
But she is the mother of her children after all, and her behavior is really inappropriate!
"Mom, I know I was wrong. I will have a good communication with Chu Nian."
Mother Lin glared at her: "It's good that you know you are wrong! A girl's growth stage only lasts a few years. Chu Nian doesn't have a father to begin with. You If this mother doesn't take the initiative, if the child has any psychological problems in the future, won't you regret it later?"
Lin Quan already regrets it enough now, let alone the future.
She found that after arriving in Beijing, Lin Quan paid less and less attention to her two children because she no longer had to worry about making a living and there were more people taking care of children.
In terms of material things, she did not treat her two children badly, but did the children only want material compensation?
Originally, the two children had no father, and she, as a mother, did not give them enough care. Sooner or later, the children would have mental health problems.
After being told by Lin's mother, Lin Quan went to the children's bedroom and had a frank chat with them.
"During this period, my mother really didn't care enough for you. To a certain extent, I am not a qualified mother. You hate me and blame me. I can understand and accept your blame for me. But I have already I deeply understand my mistakes, and I will work hard to be a better mother in the future. If there is anything I don’t do well enough, you must tell me in time, okay?”
At noon the next day, after lunch, Xu Wanning went to Huanxi Boutique again.
She gave Chen Qiaoqiao a night of buffering time, and believed that Chen Qiaoqiao had adjusted her mentality now.
Because of the summer vacation, the business of the boutique was far less good than when school started, but there were still two or three customers in the store, and Chen Qiaoqiao and Tang Ting were able to cope with it.
After seeing off the last guest, Tang Ting, Chen Qiaoqiao and Xu Wanning sat down to have lunch together, but both of them looked a little sad.
"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood?"
Tang Ting picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, then said, "Wan Ning, our business has suddenly become very bad."
"It's summer vacation. The flow of people will decrease. This is normal."
"No, this is not normal!" Tang Ting shook her head and said in a serious tone: "Before Qiaoqiao went home, our boutique was still open for a period of time, although the business was not as good as before. It’s good when school starts, but at most it’s one-third less customers. After all, the reputation of our boutique has been established, and many people from other places come to buy things.”
“But we have been open since yesterday afternoon. "There are only seven customers in total."
These seven customers refer to customers who have made transactions. As for those who entered the store, there are more than ten.
"We comforted ourselves at the beginning. Maybe many people didn't know that we were open, so it might take two days for business to pick up. But today we met a customer who said that several more boutiques have opened in Xidan. , so many people would rather go there to buy things. "
Xidan is a relatively prosperous area now, after all, the Friendship Store is open on that street.
Moreover, Xidan’s geographical location is relatively superior, with many factories surrounding it.
Compared with the location of Huanxi Boutique, if female workers in those factories want to go shopping, it is much more convenient to go to Xidan than to Huanxi Boutique, saving a lot of distance.
