My 1999

Chapter 12 Hot-eyed Aunt Guihua



It's night time soon.

"Brother, it's time to eat."

"coming."

Come to your living room.

There were four dishes on the open dining table, with a large plate of pork head in the middle.

"Wow, why are you so extravagant today?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Your mother saw that you and Yin Ni were working hard these days selling Spring Festival couplets, so she went to cut them at night." Xu Yongpei said.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Eat quickly, or your sister will finish it if you wait any longer."

"Ugh, I didn't."

After looking at his sister who had her mouth stuffed with pig ears and her cheeks bulging like a little hamster, Xu Liang picked up a piece of pig gizzard with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth to taste slowly.

I had eaten all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas in my previous life, so I wasn't that hungry for the pork head meat.

But the taste of my hometown is a little different.

"Dad, with such a good meal, why don't you drink some beer?"

Xu Yongpei shook his head.

"Let's eat. I won't drink wine if I can't help it."

Xu Liang didn't say much. He knew that his father would never drink alcohol unless he was celebrating the New Year or the holidays.

He doesn't smoke and doesn't like drinking, which is also influenced by his father.

"How much did the Golden Egg and Spring Festival couplets cost?" Wang Lingxiang asked.

"More than twenty thousand."

"More than 20,000?!"

Although Xu Liang said as little as possible, this number still shocked his parents.

This is their income from greenhouse farming for more than half a year.

Looking at their looks, Xu Meng wanted to tell the truth and show off, but looking at her brother's stern eyes, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

"Is it really so profitable to sell Spring Festival couplets?" Wang Lingxiang asked in surprise.

"Of course I make money." Xu Liang changed the topic, "Mom and Dad, you have to keep this matter a secret from me, and never tell anyone about it. Otherwise, everyone will sell Spring Festival couplets, and I won't be able to make any money from your son. Money.”

"Mom knows. I also watch your dad and don't let him talk nonsense."

Xu Yongpei was very dissatisfied with his wife's distrust and was about to speak.

"Dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door.

"at home?"

Wang Lingxiang, who was closest to the door, turned on the light switch behind the door.

Bright lights illuminate the yard.

Most of the originally spacious courtyard was occupied by large wooden boxes filled with Spring Festival couplets and other sundries.

"Who?"

"Sister-in-law, it's me."

Someone opens the door and comes in.

Walking in front was a fat man wearing a black cotton-padded jacket with his sleeves rolled up, and a round face with a smooth look; behind him was a middle-aged woman with a long and thin face wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and a red scarf that is common in the countryside.

Seeing them come in, Xu Liang and Xu Meng also stood up to say hello.

"Fourth uncle, Aunt Osmanthus."

Looking at the unfinished food on the table, the middle-aged man had a look of greed on his face.

"My sister-in-law's cooking smells delicious. I smelled it when I entered the hospital just now."

"Have you eaten? If not, have some together." Xu Yongpei said politely.

The middle-aged man subconsciously took steps, but Aunt Guihua grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"Brother, sister-in-law, we ate it." The man smiled.

Xu Yongpei was just polite and asked his wife to make tea.

Xu Liang and Xu Meng should eat and drink, it's none of their business.

"Brother, your Xu Liang is very promising. Now half the children in the village are selling Spring Festival couplets to him. He will definitely be a big boss in the future. You and your sister-in-law will enjoy endless blessings in the future."

Aunt Guihua's words just scratched Xu Yongpei's itch.

His children's achievements were his greatest honor, and he subconsciously wanted to brag about them, but was unexpectedly kicked by Wang Lingxiang.

Xu Yongpei suddenly remembered his son's explanation just now, coughed, and changed the words on his lips.

"He was just messing around and didn't make much money."

You’re still recruiting people when you’re not making any money? No fool would believe it.

Compared to her men who only focus on eating and drinking, Aunt Guihua is very smart and doesn't make it clear.

After briefly chatting for a few words, he suddenly said.

"Brother, sister-in-law, our Lin Bing will go to high school next year, but the tuition fee has not been paid yet. His father and I are worried."

As he spoke, his expression was gloomy and he almost shed tears.

Xu Liang, who was watching, was a little impressed by his ability to change his face in an instant.

He vaguely pulled the man next to him.

The latter quickly said: "Brother, sister-in-law, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the factory is not recruiting workers, and we don't even have a place to make money, so we want to follow your family Xu Liang and sell Spring Festival couplets."

Obviously this is the real purpose.

Afraid that her husband would agree quickly, Wang Lingxiang said quickly: "You have to ask Liangzi about this. This child has a good idea, and we can't be his master."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Liang.

He put down his chopsticks with a calm expression.

"Uncle, aunt, the people selling Spring Festival couplets here are all young people. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go. However, if you really want to sell, I can supply you with the goods and you can go to the market by yourself."

The two looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

"Liangzi, my uncle and aunt have watched you grow up, you can't lie to us."

Their original purpose was to do it themselves so they could make more money. Afraid that Xu Liang would not agree, he retreated and settled for a job first. Unexpectedly, things went smoothly.

Xu Liang smiled and said, "You are my elders. I will never lie to anyone if I lie to you."

As he spoke, he took out a pen from his pocket and started writing in the notebook.

After he finished writing, he tore it off and handed it to the two of them.

"This is the purchase price for different Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters. See how much you can get."

The two people quickly took it and took a look.

It clearly says that straw pulp paper costs one yuan per door, and coated paper costs two and a half dollars per door.

The price of fortune and turnip money also increased significantly.

"Liangzi, is this price a bit expensive?" Aunt Guihua asked.

In fact, she didn't know if it was really expensive, she just said that out of her instinct to bargain.

"Auntie, I don't want a penny more at this price. This is the same price I go to purchase."

The shipping price in Lin~Qu is about one yuan per door. It is his ability to cut down the price.

"Don't think it's too expensive. If you sell a door for two yuan, you can double the profit if you resell it. What kind of business can you make so much now?"

Aunt Guihua hesitated and nodded.

"Then your uncle and I will go back first to sum up."

After that, he took the middle-aged man who was still staring at the pork head reluctantly on the plate and left.

Xu Meng said angrily: "No wonder Lin Bing quit today. It turns out that his family wants to compete with us for business."

Wang Lingxiang also said worriedly: "Golden eggs, if it doesn't work, don't sell them to them."

Xu Yongpei echoed: "If you can't clear your face, tell me."

Seeing the concerned eyes of his family, Xu Liang smiled.

"Mom and Dad, it's not as serious as you think. Selling Spring Festival couplets to make money is not our exclusive business. Even if there is no other family, there will be others. And by selling the Spring Festival couplets to them, I can still earn a wholesale fee, so it's okay."

His purchase price was only ten cents, and he sold it to the Lin family for one yuan, ten times the profit, which was also very good.

As for whether it will affect his business of selling Spring Festival couplets?

Of course it will, but not much.

The core selling point of his Spring Festival couplets is 'work-study', and many people buy from him out of sympathy.

As long as he doesn't add people indiscriminately and always holds high the slogan of work-study program, he will definitely make a lot of money selling Spring Festival couplets.
