Chapter 101 a large group of people went to the provincial capital
The group chatted and walked to the Sugar wholesale division in 20 minutes. Apart from Li Tao, it was the first time anyone else had come here. Seeing such a big store, wang yao said with a smile, "Haitang, such a big store, no wonder your business is good."
"Brother yao, this shop is only about 100 square meters. It has a big loft for accommodation. There is a warehouse with more than 200 square meters behind it. I'll take you there later." Li Haitang greeted them with a smile.
The wholesale department opened only yesterday and there was hardly any business. Sister liu was sitting alone in the shop knitting a sweater. Seeing a group of people in the dark, she thought they were guests, so she immediately put down the things in her hands and went to greet them. Looking carefully, she found that it was Li Haitang. She smiled and said, "Haitang, happy new year. Why did you come here today? Why didn't you call in advance?"
"Happy new year, Sister liu! I'll bring my friends over to take a look. I'll stay here today and go to the provincial capital tomorrow." Li Haitang then briefly introduced her to the others.
Sister liu greeted them one by one and immediately went to make tea to entertain them. When he served them tea, he told them, "Haitang, Uncle liu has something at home. He called for two days off. He can't come over until tomorrow."
"Sure. But what happened to his family?" Li Haitang asked.
"His mother-in-law suddenly fell at home and hurt her bones. The old man was too old to fall, so he stayed at home to help take care of her for two more days."
Li Haitang nodded, "When Uncle liu comes to work tomorrow, you tell him that there are not many things in the shop these days before the lantern festival. Anyway, his house is not far away. If you have time, go back and take a look."
"Okay. Your father is building a house at home. How is it going?" Sister liu asked, glancing at Li Tao leaning against the counter.
Li Haitang said, "A lot of people have been invited, and the lantern festival will be finished around the corner. It won't take much time to build it this time and not paint or decorate it for the time being."
When Li Tao brought everyone's luggage to the attic, Li Haitang greeted Sister liu and took them to the restaurant by bus.
"These dumplings and chives are delicious." Duan Meifang was a person who liked to eat delicious food, and of course, she knew how to cook delicious food. She thought that she would try it when she went back.
Li Haitang made some dumplings and sent some to the wang family on the new year's day, but she didn't make them as authentic as the northerners did, and the dumplings weren't so beautifully wrapped, but the taste was still good. She suggested, "Sister-in-law mei fang, I believe you can make these two kinds. In the future, I will go to your house every year for chinese new year's eve to rub my food."
"Hehe, okay, I'll go back and think about it." Duan Meifang laughed happily.
Wang Tiao immediately expressed his expectations, "Sister-in-law, I want to eat this meat bun. You should go back and think about it."
"Okay, I'll try it first." Seeing that they were eating well, Duan Meifang reached out for one and looked at it carefully. "It might be a little difficult to bake this film outside. We have to study it carefully."
"Hehe, we're not in a hurry. Sister-in-law, take your time at home and think about it. You can do it before we go home for the new year." Wang li smiled like a cat stealing fish. I have a sister-in-law in my family, so I don't worry about anything.
Duan meifang smiled at the two of them. This sister-in-law and uncle really knew how to climb up the pole. Other people's sisters-in-law always had some grudges, but their family was like brothers and sisters. Compared to Wang Yao, this brother, they were more attached to her sister-in-law, and completely regarded her as a sister.
After everyone finished a round of snacks, their stomachs were already full, but most of the people present were growing up, and they all had big appetites and ate a lot. When the other dishes were served, everyone began to stutter again.
An hour later, everyone was so full that their stomachs swelled up. Li Haitang rubbed his stomach and stood up to check out at the counter. He said, "It's ten minutes walk from our school. Let's walk there as a snack."
"Okay. By the way, haitang, aren't you renting out with your classmates? Is it near here?" Wang Li put his hands in the pockets of his cotton-padded jacket and walked side by side with her.
Li Haitang pointed to the neighborhood not far away and told them, "See that big red billboard over there? The house we rented was right behind the billboard. This neighborhood belongs to a nearby glass factory. It's a unit room for employees. It's very quiet in the neighborhood. We ride to and from school every day and arrive at school in three or four minutes."
After walking to the school, Li Haitang greeted old ou in the guard's room, took everyone to register the information, and then led them in to have a look.
Although it was a holiday, the school was very quiet, but the playground and other places on the campus were clean, and occasionally a few outsiders came to visit and take photos.
After a tour of the Tam city 1 middle school, they wanted to go shopping on xinjian west road. Li Haitang took them by bus near the school and ate and played all the way back to the wholesale store in the evening.
In the evening, while cooking in the shop, Li Haitang went to the farmer's market next door to buy some food and came back to cook for them. In the evening, she went to a nearby hotel to open a room for Wang Yao and Duan Meifang. Wang Li shared a bed with herself and Li Tao and Wang Tiao slept together. She made up the bed in Li Jianguo's room for the two of them to make up the night.
The next morning, they finished their breakfast on the street and went to the bus station to catch the earliest bus to the provincial capital.
In just two hours, they arrived at the provincial bus station.
Xia Lin, who received a call from Li Haitang yesterday, was already waiting at the entrance. As soon as Li Haitang got out of the car, she waved and shouted outside the railing, "Li Haitang, here you are."
Li Haitang laughed and waved at her. "Xia Lin, wait for us a little longer."
After all the others got out of the car and picked up their luggage, she led them towards her in a grand manner, then introduced them to each other and greeted each other.
Xia Lin pointed to the car not far away and said coolly, "This is the most loaded car I can borrow. There are so many of you that you can only squeeze."
Li Haitang could not help but laugh. "No problem. I only brought two adults to the army. The rest are children. It's not a problem to squeeze."
It was rare for Xia Lin to pull a corner of his mouth, shake off the car keys in his hand, and say, "Let's go."
Li Haitang's eyes lit up when she saw the key in her hand. She grabbed it excitedly and said with a smile, "Xia Lin, I'm driving today. You take the co-pilot."
"Ah? You know how to drive?" Xia Lin was stunned.
The others were stunned, and Li Tao's eyes almost popped out. "Sister hoi tong, you haven't learned how to drive. Don't make a scene."
"Who said I didn't? I learned it from jiang Instructor and the others when I was in Hushi. I learned it after watching it twice. Instructor jiang also praised me for driving just a little less than him." This time, Li Haitang put all his power on them.
"Really, really? Haitang, driving a car is not riding a bicycle." Wang Li didn't believe it.
Li Haitang bit his lip and got a little angry. "Of course it's true. Am I such a loose talker?"
"Uh, okay, you drive." Xia Lin was the first to believe her. He opened the door of the passenger seat and got into the car.
The others had to get in the car one after another, but their hearts were a little uneasy.
Li Haitang saw their constipated faces in the rearview mirror and smiled helplessly. There was no saying that the truth was better than the eloquence. She knew that no matter how much she said today, it was useless. Only actions could prove her.
Xia Lin's eyes lit up at the sight of her skillful maneuvering. She was definitely not lying. She knew how to drive.
"Xia Lin, I'm not familiar with the roads in the provincial capital. Just give me directions." Li Haitang smiled playfully when he saw the trust in her eyes grow.
Xia Lin nodded, "No problem. Follow this road and turn right at the third intersection ahead."
When she drove steadily on the road, the group of people behind her relaxed slowly. After turning a safe and smooth intersection, Wang Yao couldn't help but smile, "Haitang is really a genius."
"I really want to knock Li Haitang's head open to see if the structure inside is different from normal people. I often stay with the masters of sports cars, and I've heard them talk about the driving process. I've long memorized the driving process in my mind, but I haven't tried it, and I'm a little afraid to try it." Li Yongchun really admired her. A bold and careful woman was scary.
"Driving a car is not as effective as practicing it once, no matter how much theoretical knowledge you have. Li Yongchun, Brother Rongzi, you guys are men. It's better to learn how to drive earlier. Try to get your driver's license in school. It will be helpful to get in and out of society in the future. Look at brother yong zi. He just got his driver's license last year and his salary is much higher than normal." Li Haitang chatted with them while driving.
"Yes, to get a driver's license, you must accomplish this goal this year." Li Rong felt that she was right, and his brother gave him the same advice during the new year.
Li Tao, who was huddled in the same seat as Wang Tiao, watched her skillful gear shift, and her eyes shone with a strange light. She always surprised him, and her ability hit his heart again and again. He felt that he had to work harder to catch up with her.
The bus station was a little far from the wholesale market, but fortunately there was no traffic jam on the road. Half an hour later, the car steadily stopped in the parking space directly opposite their store.
Li Haitang unbuckled his seat belt and told them, "Here, the shop across the street with the big billboard is the Clothing wholesale division that Xia Lin, I, and two other students share."
"Wow, haitang, I saw you and Xia Lin on that billboard." The sharp-eyed Wang Li cried out excitedly.
Li Tao turned to look at the big billboard. Her eyes were almost bulging and her voice was raised several decibels, "And sister pei, the other one should be another cooperative boss. You guys are so... You actually took out your own photos to advertise."
Li Haitang walked over with his schoolbag on his back and a slight smile on his lips, "The four of us have good figures, good image, good moral character, good grades, and are excellent in all aspects. It's quite appropriate for us to advertise our own shops."
"Hehe, that's true. Haitang is right. All four of you girls are pretty. These clothes look really good on you. They are very attractive." Duan Meifang really admired these students. They were really smart and lively.
Xia Lin led the way and the others followed. After arriving at the store, Li Haitang took everyone to the upper and lower floors for a walk, then asked Wang Li and the rest of them to take a break in the shop. She took Wang Yao and Duan Meifang to the second and third floors.
