Chapter 096 You like him
After dinner, Chen Manshu, who couldn't stay idle, came to find Lin Wanxia and said that he wanted to set up a stall in the compound.
Lin Wanxia had no objection.
The families of the compound also need to celebrate the New Year, not to mention the officers and soldiers.
They have uniforms, but they also have families.
Some people's families will come to the compound to celebrate the New Year in a few days, and some will go home to celebrate the New Year.
Even if the family does not come or cannot go back, they can buy clothes and send them back. After
all, they don't have much time to take leave, and there are no clothes for sale in the compound's grocery store. They did
it right away. The two of them carried the clothes downstairs and set up a stall outside the archway.
In this way, the family members can come and the officers and soldiers can also come to buy.
Chen Manshu asked Lin Wanxia, "Does Jiang Sinian object to you setting up a stall? After all, setting up a stall is not an honorable thing these days."
Lin Wanxia shook her head, "I just asked him. Does he think I'm embarrassing him?"
"What did he say?"
"He said he would go to their brigade to promote me and see who wants to buy clothes and come to me. If possible, let me give them a little discount."
Chen Manshu laughed.
"I didn't expect Jiang Sinian to have such a side. From what I've observed in the past few days, he's a typical steely straight man with a harder mouth than a duck and it's hard for him to say soft words!"
Lin Wanxia laughed, "Who said it wasn't? The biggest advantage of people like him is probably that they are reliable at all times. Don't expect anything else."
Chen Manshu looked at the tenderness in Lin Wanxia's eyes when she mentioned Jiang Sinian, and affirmed: "You like him."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
She didn't deny it, but she didn't admit it either, "Liking shouldn't mean being happy when you see him and missing him when you can't see him. Will you be happy or unhappy because of him? Why wouldn't I?"
Chen Manshu thought for a while and replied: "Probably because everyone has a different attitude towards feelings. We We all grew up in the new century and received education as independent women of the new era. I don't know what year you came here. But before I came here, young girls' views on choosing a partner were very different from now.
Everyone could support themselves and did not rely on men. Even love is based on loving yourself first. Maybe in this case, you won't be so worried about gains and losses in relationships.
Or maybe you are just a person with a calm personality. You are more introverted in emotions, just like the sea of love, most of the time you hide the waves in your heart.
Or maybe you just started to like each other and haven't fallen deeply in love yet. "
Lin Wanxia thought about it and agreed, "Sure enough, those in power are confused while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly."
Chen Manshu smiled meaningfully.
Lin Wanxia blushed and changed the subject, "Why hasn't anyone come to buy yet?"
Chen Manshu agreed with her, "Maybe because we just had dinner and people haven't come out yet?"
In fact, under normal circumstances, few people come out after dinner.
Even though the winter in the island city is not that cold.
Lin Wanxia thought about it, called Xingxing out, told him the story of the newspaper seller, and asked him: "Do you want to be a newspaper seller for once?"
Xingxing nodded, "But I don't have any newspapers to sell!"
"You can help me sell clothes. You take your friends to the yard and shout 'Selling clothes! Fashionable new clothes! If they don't look good, no money.' As long as you bring people, I will buy candy for you whether you buy or not. One piece of candy per person."
Xingxing immediately agreed and turned and ran away.
Chen Manshu gave Lin Wanxia a thumbs up, "You have played
with the child well." Lin Wanxia smiled, "This child deserves our kindness. But, since I am now his stepmother, I have to enjoy the benefits of being a mother."
The children are very executive, and they will not give any discounts to promote the candy.
Some children force their mothers to come over to eat candy.
Lin Wanxia and Chen Manshu just need to attract people. As long as they come, they don't worry about not being able to sell.
However, most of the sisters-in-law in the family compound don't have jobs and are more frugal. Although they like it very much, they hesitate for a long time and only pick the cheap ones, or grit their teeth and refuse to buy.
There are many people, but the transaction volume is far less than when they set up a stall near the department store.
Until Jiang Sinian and his team finished their evening training.
Officers and soldiers swarmed over.
But only two out of ten soldiers were not straight.
They only knew that the clothes sold by Lin Wanxia and Chen Manshu were good-looking, but they had no idea which one was better-looking and more suitable for their family members or the girls they loved.
Lin Wanxia and Chen Manshu discussed it briefly, and while listening to their descriptions, they matched their clothes and acted as models.
For example, it is not suitable to wear only sweaters in the north, but also to wear coats. A red coat should be worn over a white sweater, because many ordinary people would care about wearing white during the New Year.
Red sweaters are not suitable for girls with dark skin.
While giving suggestions, the two of them would try the clothes on themselves.
In this way, the straight men immediately had an image and rushed to buy clothes.
Before lights went out, they had less than 20 pieces of clothes left from the wholesale purchase from Eagle City.
Chen Manshu counted the money while saying, "No wonder people say you could make money by carrying a sack in the early 1980s. It's true."
Lin Wanxia carried her bag and said, "The risk factor is also high. It's because you're crossing a river by feeling the stones. It's hard to tell whether you're touching fish or stones. You might also cut your hands by touching sharp broken porcelain pieces."
The girl who brought people to rob them was a good warning.
"That's right." Chen Manshu nodded, "I have to make some more anti-wolf spray. And I have to pack a few more bags of quicklime!"
Don't be afraid of bad guys.
When she got home, Jiang Sinian had already coaxed Xingxing to sleep, and he had taken a shower and was waiting for her in his home clothes.
Lin Wanxia knew what Jiang Sinian was thinking when she saw his attitude.
The two have been married for such a long time and have not had any real relationship.
Jiang Sinian went back to the office to sleep after being on duty last night.
It seems that he is waiting for her tonight.
The temperature on Lin Wanxia's face is higher than the water temperature, and she is extremely nervous thinking about what is about to happen.
However, when she returned to the room from the public bathroom, Jiang Sinian was no longer in the room.
On the table in the living room, a piece of paper torn from a notebook was pressed down by a teacup, on which was scribbled [Urgent task, no need to wait for me, go to bed early. ]
It was obvious that it was written in a hurry.
Lin Wanxia didn't know whether she felt more relieved or disappointed.
But she didn't think much about it. She was exhausted after running around all day and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
The next day, Chen Manshu went to Eagle City to wholesale clothes.
Lin Wanxia didn't go with him. She had to deal with the remaining seven tape recorders first, but she gave all the money she had to Chen Manshu.
The more capital, the more clothes can be purchased.
Lin Wanxia didn't bring Xingxing with her when she went out to set up the stall, for fear that she would not be able to protect him if she encountered danger.
After learning from her mistakes, she stopped selling her products in department stores and started selling them near government offices
