After Qin Lingling went home at night, she told Gu Zheng that she was going to be a guest at Huang Linjiao's house. She thought that Gu Zheng's character would hesitate a bit, but Gu Zheng nodded and agreed.
In order to go to Huang Linjiao's house, Qin Lingling carefully selected a lot of things before going with Gu Guoqiang.
Huang Linjiao’s home is not particularly far away, and Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng, together with Gu Guoqiang, walked easily.
When the three of them arrived, the Huang family's parents were there.
Seeing Gu Guoqiang bringing his sister-in-law over, Huang Mu was taken aback.
It was Qin Lingling who said hello to Huang Mu first, "I always said that I would visit you before, but during the Chinese New Year, the family is a bit busy, so I only come to visit now, I hope I don't blame it."
Under Qin Lingling's enthusiastic greeting, what is Huangmu to blame? These two young people are still involved in the matter, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
"Please come in." Huang Yuzuo was rather cold.
Qin Lingling didn't mind, after all, Gu Guoqiang abducted the little girl.
In fact, just standing at the door of Huang's family and looking at Huang Linjiao's family situation, Qin Lingling can also imagine why the Huang family dislikes Gu Guoqiang.
Qin Lingling thought, if her daughter likes Gu Guoqiang who has very poor family conditions, she will of course deny some of this person's conditions before she knows the character of a young man. Otherwise, there won’t be so many relatives who don’t like it, but the mutual conditions did not meet their expectations. At the first impression, they did not give enough chips. Who wants to continue talking?
But Huang Mu was willing to welcome them in, and Qin Lingling was already very satisfied.
Because Huang Linjiao's family's general attitude towards Gu Guoqiang had been learned from Gu Guoqiang in advance, Huang Mu was not enthusiastic about them, and Qin Lingling could understand it.
After entering the door, Qin Lingling first asked Gu Zheng to give the gift she had brought to Huang's parents.
"You don't need to bring so many gifts? My family can't afford so many gifts." Huang Mu said.
Qin Lingling smiled and said: "This is a visitor, it must be a gift, mother Huang, you don't have to be stressed, we just bought something."
"Yes, they are also very interested." Father Huang happened to be there, and quickly said to Mother Huang. As he said, let them sit down again, and then poured water enthusiastically.
Seeing Father Huang's attitude, Qin Lingling breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said that Gu Guoqiang's future father-in-law should still have good senses towards him.
When Father Huang poured water for them, Mother Huang went upstairs and called Huang Linjiao down.
Although he is not optimistic about Gu Guoqiang, people politely come over with gifts, and if they want to see each other sooner or later, it is the same with advance notice.
Hearing that Gu Guoqiang and his sister-in-law had both come here, Huang Linjiao was more excited than anyone else, and hurriedly ran downstairs.
Mother Huang said behind her that she was rude, and Huang Linjiao didn't care. When she reached the top of the stairs, she hurriedly finished her dress, and asked the mother behind her, "Mom, can I do this?"
Huang mother looked at her girlish girl thinking of spring, and looked helpless, "Yes, you can, if not, can you go upstairs to tidy up?"
Where was Huang Linjiao willing to waste this time, carefully looked at her clothes, and said to herself: "It's okay, I think it's good, so be it!"
After Gu Guoqiang entered the Huang's house, he kept searching for Huang Linjiao's figure. He didn't dare to look for someone straightforwardly. He only carefully looked around the Huang's house with his eyes.
Although his performance was not obvious, he still let Father Huang see it.
Father Huang said directly to him: "Xiaojiao is upstairs, your aunt has already called Xiaojiao, and she will come down later."
Gu Guoqiang felt that his mind was seen through, and his young face suddenly became red, and he gave a soft "um".
After Qin Lingling sat down, she was drinking tea and chatting with Father Huang in a talkative manner.
Gu Zheng also changed from the past few words, and chatted with Father Huang, the atmosphere was still very good.
After chatting later, knowing that Father Huang was also a soldier, Gu Zheng felt like seeing each other late, and the chat started immediately.
Father Huang smiled and said: "I have known that Guoqiang's brother is an admirable soldier. I am very happy to see you today."
The kind of friendship between the soldiers can be instantly communicated in a few words even if they are not serving in a unit.
Qin Lingling chatted happily with her own man and Father Huang. She secretly said, yes, she doesn't have to go out now, and her man can talk and bring the atmosphere.
Huang Linjiao walked over, taking off her lively temperament. When she saw Gu Guoqiang, she became skillful and gentle. When she looked at Gu Guoqiang, she felt a little bit shy of a girl.
She stepped forward and called her father politely, and then called Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng, brother-in-law.
That elder brother-in-law might sound like an ordinary name to outsiders, but when the Huang family’s parents came, they knew that their daughters liked Gu Guoqiang so much, and they were eager to become a family with their Gu family.
Father Huang didn't think so much. After all, when a girl is older, she wants to marry. As long as she is married to a good person, loves her and loves her, regardless of whether he has money or not, as long as he works hard in the future, it is good for his daughter. Life is enough.
Moreover, after talking with Gu Guoqiang's elder brother, he can also feel that no matter what, Gu Guoqiang and his sister-in-law, these two people can lead him.
Although Huang Mu was not very satisfied with Gu Guoqiang, she still didn't say anything. She sat next to Huang's father and didn't speak, but she didn't put on a stinky face. She was just quiet.
And Huang Linjiao cautiously sat closer to Gu Guoqiang, but didn't dare to make any movements. She looked at Gu Guoqiang so quietly and pulled out a shy smile from the corner of her mouth.
There were six people in the living room. Because Father Huang and Gu Zheng were comrades-in-arms, the two chatted quickly to get the atmosphere away, and Qin Lingling also had a simple chat with Mother Huang.
At the beginning, Huang Mu said very little, it was Qin Lingling who said what the other party answered, but afterwards, they chatted and talked, and gradually there was a topic, and the two began to talk.
As for the quiet Gu Guoqiang and Huang Linjiao, the two also secretly chatted.
Although the meeting between the two families was a bit embarrassing at first, after chatting, Huang Mu also gradually developed a good impression of Gu's people, especially Gu Guoqiang’s sister-in-law, Qin Lingling. She could feel that this is a girl who knows how to live. He is not very old, but he knows a lot.
Mother Huang thought, no wonder Gu Guoqiang's personality has changed so much. There is a powerful sister-in-law who is in charge of him, and people will also change.
When Qin Lingling and the three of them returned, Huang Mu also came out to send them off. Although she didn't say much to Gu Guoqiang, she also told him to be careful on the way.
Huang Mu's small change may seem to be nothing to others, but for Gu Guoqiang, it is a qualitative leap.
His mouth was almost grinning to his ears. When he left, he kept thanking Huang Mu.
"Are you still driving?" When the people walked away, Father Huang looked at Huang Mu and stared at the back of the three people, longer than the girl next to him.
Huang Mu came back to his senses and said, "I didn't look at it, it was just a daze." Huang Mu didn't want to admit that she had made many changes to the Gu family and even to Gu Guoqiang.
Father Huang smiled and asked, "Then what are you thinking about in a daze? Come and listen."
Mother Huang saw that he was laughing at herself, she gave her husband a blank look, and said, "I think you are too heart-warming. The people this girl knows outside are unclear. You must check it out. This son is fine. , No matter how much you lose, but girls are different."
"Yes, yes, this is not because I have seen a lot of people. I can still see the good and bad people."
Huang's mother's worries are also known to Huang's father, but he thinks that he has a good vision. Although Gu Guoqiang's reputation was not very good at first, the villagers also said that Gu Guoqiang has changed a lot in recent years. Following his sister-in-law, now Can also be alone.
"In general, Gu Guoqiang is not as bad as you think. His family conditions are not as good as ours, but now it is a world of young people. Who can guarantee that he will not be well in the future, do you think?" Father Huang took his wife's shoulders and said with relief.
Huang Mu didn't speak, but now she listened to her husband's words.
Father Huang said, “In the days we live now, we are also part of the income of the older generation. We have nothing to be proud of, but it gives our children a better living environment than other children, but the future life is We rely on our children to make money on their own. No matter how our parents help, they can’t help. I think Guoqiang is a good child, and he is sincere to Xiaojiao. I was scared by him just taking so much money that day. When it comes, you say, which young man can earn so much money in half a year?"
Mother Huang listened for a long time before retorting, "It might be his sister-in-law who gave it to him. Can't his sister-in-law make money?"
His wife’s nonsense made Father Huang laugh, "Okay, even if it was given by his sister-in-law, you said, his sister-in-law gave him so much money in one breath. Why? If this country is not a good person, neither will his sister-in-law. Maybe give him any money. In general, his wife can trust him, right?"
Huang Mu didn't speak at all this time.
Qin Lingling and the Gu Zheng brothers went home, and they also reaped a lot. At least from the attitude of the Huang family's parents, I probably know their attitude towards Gu Guoqiang?
Only Gu Guoqiang, let alone, this time Huang Mu’s attitude towards him was better, which made him feel better. When in the car, she repeatedly assured Qin Lingling, "Sister-in-law, after I go home, I will work hard to earn money. Make money well."
Qin Lingling was amused by his words, and said: "If you make good money, you can make good money. What are you telling me? You are making money for you and Lin Jiao's future. Tell me it's useless."
Gu Guoqiang smiled and scratched his head, and said, "Because I want you to be a testimony to me, so that you can testify that I really want to work hard to make money."
Qin Lingling looked at Gu Zheng on the side and said, "Then let your brother witness to you. I think your brother is willing to witness for you. He has more time and is more leisurely."
The more idle Gu Zheng: "..."
After the Lantern Festival, the school started, and everyone was busy.
Gu Guoqiang started to work hard as he promised. In addition to the hand rope materials that he usually runs on the market, he mainly takes care of other errands.
As for Gu Chunhua, she was already distracted a lot, so she didn't run with her brother.
Now she wants to study again, she wants samples of the hand strap, and she wants to sell clothes, but she is not idle.
Qin Lingling is now mainly busy in addition to studying, which is to make her own clothes. Other things are mainly handled by other people.
She is rich now and has a lot of contacts. She has money to buy cloth and makes a lot of profits. In general, even if he does nothing, he just closes his eyes and waits for money to make money. enough.
However, Qin Lingling is still working hard to earn money. After all, it is really easier to earn money now than later life. In later life, she can endure herself to death for a few thousand yuan, but here, as long as she can afford it, she Can make money, if so, how can you not earn money seriously?
In the first year of 1979, the whole country has undergone tremendous changes. People’s lives are much better than a few years ago. I don’t know how much. Many things can be bought. Therefore, as long as Qin Lingling can buy the goods, everything Go get the goods.
Moreover, as the south is warming faster than the north, it started to give people a feeling of entering the summer very early. Qin Lingling walked a lot and drank more water every day, and brought a lot of water to school with a water bottle every day. Basically, I have to drink enough water several times at school.
So she took the idea-selling herbal tea drinks at school.
As soon as this idea came out, Qin Lingling told Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng agreed very crisply, "This is good. People here are easy to get angry. They like to drink herbal tea. It is hot in summer and drink water. There must be a lot of time. If there is a herbal tea, if it can be frozen, more people will buy it. Moreover, there are fewer people selling it now, and the competitiveness is not so great."
As Gu Zheng said, he also analyzed the market and various expenses for her, and even said that he could support Qin Lingling in opening a beverage shop.
After Gu Zheng's analysis, Qin Lingling felt that this herbal tea drink could really be sold, after all, people's lives have improved now.
"Then where do you think this beverage store should be opened? Do you want to open a store directly?"
"Well, it's okay to open a shop. I can rent one at that time or buy one directly. I have money here." Gu Zheng said, and explained to Qin Lingling that he was not only busy for a year in the provincial capital. For work, some people actually earn money with friends. "Although the money is not a lot, it is enough to open a shop."
Qin Lingling knows that Gu Zheng can make extra money, but the two people's money is used separately. Her money is responsible for making money, while Gu Zheng's money is spent and saved. After all, they are not only in the past few years. Days, the future is to live a lifetime, should be planned for the future.
However, since Gu Zheng is fully supporting herself, how can Qin Lingling dare to become the Big Three in terms of food and beverage such as dessert shops and beverage shops, and the real estate of clothing stores in the first quarter.
The two planned for a while, and Qin Lingling felt that this shop could be opened near the school.
"There are a lot of students near the school, and there are also a lot of streets. Open there, the flow of people should be good."
"Well, it's okay, as long as you want a good place, it must be a good shop."
Qin Lingling likes to hear Gu Zheng say these nice things, although she is also perplexed, she is not a business prodigy.
However, with Gu Zheng's encouragement, Qin Lingling was busy from the next day and started looking for a store. She needed to find a store that was not too big or too small, and the rent and flow of people had to be good.
Not only is she looking for, but Gu Zheng and Gu Guoqiang are also helping.
After searching for a few days, several people searched for many shops, and finally Qin Lingling chose a shop with a room on the second floor from so many shops. The shop was not too big. The last owner was a bun shop. The children have grown up, and now If you want to enjoy the blessing, this is their old old house, not very new, but it can be sold directly to them instead of renting.
What Qin Lingling likes is that they can sell it. Although the house is not new and some places need to be renovated, the location is good, and all other aspects meet her requirements.
After discussing with Gu Zheng, Qin Lingling settled down the house.
When discussing the price, Qin Lingling took Gu Zheng over.
Don't look at Gu Zheng who is usually silent and not talkative, but his mouth is not ordinary at the negotiating table, especially his aura. Sitting there gives people a sense of stability and confidence.
With Gu Zheng's help, the shop was finally taken down easily. In terms of price, it was much lower than Qin Lingling had imagined.
The terms were signed, the deposit was paid, the account was transferred, and on the way back, Qin Lingling adored Gu Zheng’s arm more admiringly, “I didn’t expect you to talk business with people very well, even better than me, and I’m afraid of them. I didn't want to lower the price. I didn't expect it to be so refreshing."
Being praised by his wife, Gu Zheng just smiled and said, “I’m not too good at it, but to say what they want. Since they are going to follow their children and enjoy the blessings, they naturally want to sell this shop as soon as possible. Although the price is a bit low, it is also very cost-effective. We gave a 30% deposit and we paid for the rest of the week. They can get so much money earlier and go back to enjoy the good. How good?"
Hearing Gu Zheng said this, Qin Lingling also feels reasonable. How can they say that their money is collected faster. Many people want to give money, but it is not always the same. After all, it is not easy to collect a large sum of money now. Every household is similar, and it is not so easy to buy a house.
Don't look at Qin Lingling's ease of buying, but it is not easy for them to get so much money in one go, after all, it is not easy to save those money.
After paying the money for the house, Qin Lingling will start decorating the house again, and she can start opening the shop after finishing the house.
However, the decoration of these years is not so particular, so the main thing is to whitewash the house, and then put the materials needed for all aspects of the table.
And Qin Lingling's decoration is more elaborate than the current people, more preparation, and more time, but most of them are done by her own people, so she didn't spend much money.
Qin Lingling has not been idle during this period of time from buying a shop to decorating a shop, mainly thinking, what kind of herbal tea is better to sell?
Although there are few beverage shops now, it has to be said that there are still more herbal teas in Guangdong, a city prone to get angry, than in other provinces.
Gu Zheng was very considerate to provide her with some, such as ordinary crude tea, which is convenient for people who have no money on hand to drink.
Regarding herbal tea, Gu Zheng knows a lot about herbal tea, so he will provide it.
The main consumption of herbal tea is Chinese medicine, which needs to be boiled in a pot, and there is no other particularly troublesome method.
When the herbal tea was ready, Qin Lingling made thick tea again.
Before their village, there were tea plants in the mountains, and those crude teas could be fried by themselves.
So Qin Lingling directly called Gu Dashun and his wife at home in the country, asking them to prepare tea, simple tea, and buy some and send it over.
In addition to crude tea and herbal tea, Qin Lingling also bought drinks.
Now she doesn't have time to manage, so she focuses on simplicity.
Buying drinks is not a hassle, after all, the third brother's shop has these drinks.
The most important thing is to prepare a refrigerator, which can freeze drinks and other teas.
However, the preparation of this refrigerator is more troublesome. After all, the refrigerator is not as easy to buy as later generations. On the contrary, it requires various ticket approvals. Even if Qin Lingling has a Zhang family behind her, she is embarrassed to often trouble her third brother and the others.
So Qin Lingling only sold herbal tea and crude tea at the beginning.
Before the opening, Qin Lingling went to the surroundings to publicize it. After publicity, when she opened the shop, her shop was still visited by a lot of people. After all, Qin Lingling's popularity is good, and friends around her are willing to come to support the market.
There are many people in this shop, so the previous few days, plus the hot weather, so there are still a lot of people.
After waiting for a few days, the business in Qin Lingling’s shop is still okay. After all, the herbal tea and other crude teas in her shop are very cheap. If you order, then buy the cheaper one.
After the shop opened for nearly a month, Qin Lingling got the refrigerator back.
This time, instead of relying on the Zhang family, she worked with Gu Zheng to figure out a solution, obtained industrial coupons, and then bought them.
When I bought it, my third brother also came to her, saying that she could actually go to him when she was in trouble, and it didn't have to be so hard at all.
Qin Lingling explained, "We didn't have a hard time buying it. We just saved up some industrial vouchers. The industrial vouchers of many people around us were useless, so we used them. Now that we have bought them, you don't have to worry."
Fearing that the third brother would have an idea, Qin Lingling finally said to the third brother: "Don't worry, because we can solve it this time, so I don't plan to trouble you anymore. Next time we need you to be busy, we will call you. "
Seeing Qin Lingling say this, Zhang Ruixin didn't say anything?
"Then take me to your shop now!"
"Okay, you just help me check it out and see what else in my shop needs to be modified."
"okay."
When the third brother arrived at the shop, there were other girls in the shop. With the image of the third brother as a successful person, it immediately attracted the attention of many girls in the university.
