As for the two newly renovated stores, the couple handed them over to Niu Niu to manage, and she could decide on which store to open.
This was Niu Niu's initiative request on New Year's Eve.
The two of them agreed to their daughter's request without hesitation.
I didn't ask her what she was going to do specifically.
Niuniu asked curiously, "Dad, Mom, aren't you worried that I'll lose money?"
"What's the big deal? Losing money is normal. Don't feel any pressure."
Li Mingqing was afraid that she was burdened.
"With your words, I'll do it without hesitation and try not to lose money. I'm planning to open a jewelry store, and this time I'm going to the south with my eldest brother to buy some small accessories."
Si Niu, who was listening nearby, asked curiously, "Sister, you want to open a shop!?"
"Yes, to earn money for school."
"Oh my God, are my uncle and aunt short of your money? Don't be ridiculous, your pocket money may be more than our family savings."
Niuniu patted her lightly and said, "Fourth sister, keep your voice down."
"Okay, okay, I'll keep my voice down. You have to rent a shop to open one, so don't get ripped off."
"My family has shops. My father gave me two shops."
Si Niu and Xiang Nan looked at each other.
Just call him a good guy.
I knew my uncle had a lot of money, but I didn't know he was so generous to his children.
Those are two shops, and they are in the capital.
Xiangdong is still worried about the shops, but Niu Niu already has two shops under her.
"Sister, don't be so careless when you speak next time, or you'll make people hate you."
"I definitely won't tell anyone."
Niu Niu has something very on her mind.
After arriving at the county town, Li Mingli and his companions parted ways and went home.
The children also went back to their respective homes to find their mothers.
Li Mingqing and his wife and the old couple went to the restaurant to clean up and open the store tomorrow.
Before the New Year, I cleaned the house inside and out, and I just needed to wipe the dining table lightly.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw someone standing at the entrance looking towards the hotel.
Seeing that there was someone in the room, the man pushed the door open and went in.
"Auntie, when will your shop open? I'm craving the braised food in your shop."
"It will officially open tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow. You don't know, but people have been coming here one after another since yesterday, all for your braised food."
Old Mrs. Li smiled so hard that her teeth were visible.
Having many guests is a good thing.
"Ming Qing, our store is so successful that customers are already coming in before we even open."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "It seems like he's a regular customer."
"Of course. We have a lot of returning customers. Even from places as far north as the city, there are many who come here because of our reputation. Of course, some of them come just for you."
Old man Li said truthfully.
Sun Jiaxue said, "I hope the drugstore we open in the capital will be as prosperous as this."
"Don't worry, wife, it will definitely be a hit. With me here, many people will come to us just for my name. What's more, the creams we sell are really effective, so their reputation is guaranteed."
Li Mingqing is very confident.
Because in recent years, many people have asked others to use their connections to buy freckle cream.
Now that the store is open, you can come and buy it yourself.
You don’t have to owe anyone a favor or ask anyone for help, so why not do it?
——
The eighth day of the first lunar month.
Li Mingqing returned to the village specifically to plant fruit trees.
I met Zheng Qiangchao and his partner halfway.
He didn't expect Zheng Qiangchao to come in person, he originally thought he would send his men over.
"Comrade Zheng, thank you for the trouble."
"They are all small things."
On the way to the village, Li Mingqing planned to introduce the situation of the village to them.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Zheng Qiangchao say: "Ming Qing, we know the basic situation of the village. Your village has always been a model village in the town. It is mentioned in every meeting."
"So Lijia Village is so famous."
Li Mingqing was proud of it.
"You take most of the credit."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. The village cadres have led me well."
Zheng Qiangchao smiled and said, "The village chief and the team leader have never failed to praise you. The people in your village don't fight for credit and keep praising others. It's rare to see such a harmonious village."
——
Li Mingfu and Li Xiangjun were waiting at the village entrance early.
They were a little worried.
"Xiang Jun, what do you think we should do if we can't grow any fruit trees?"
"Then I think it should be no problem to think of other ways to make a fortune."
“I tried to put a lot of pressure on myself.”
Li Xiangjun was just about to say a few words to comfort him when he looked up and saw Li Mingqing, Zheng Qiangchao and others.
“Here I come!”
The two of them walked quickly over to greet them.
When the villagers saw a stranger coming into the village, they immediately surrounded him.
After seeing Li Mingqing there, everyone speculated whether there was another good thing happening in the village.
“Why do I feel like there’s another way to make money?”
"Yeah, it turns out I'm not the only one who thinks this way. As long as I make money, it doesn't matter if I'm tired or not."
"If you want to build a bright brick house, you have to work hard to earn money."
…
The villagers' faces were filled with smiles.
Only the old Zhang family's smiles seemed forced, especially Zhang Chengji, who had no smile on his face at all.
Zhou Xiaoshuang asked in confusion: "Lili, what happened to your brother-in-law? He's like his wife ran away."
"Uh——" Wu Lili was almost choked to death by these words.
You hit the nail on the head. Not only did his wife run away, but the child is not his biological child either.
"I have a cold and a high fever, and I'm confused."
Wu Liguo said kindly, "It's a rare opportunity for Mingqing to return to the village, so why not go check on him? Come to think of it, this is the first time I've seen Chengji between the first and eighth days of the Lunar New Year. How come he's so thin? If you didn't know, you'd think there was a famine in the village."
Zhang Chengji glanced at him and turned away.
