Chapter 120 business of the lin pei family
On july 8th, the Tam city 1 middle school final exam was over.
Although there were two ceiling fans in the classroom, it was still hot and sweaty. When the roll up bell rang, the students who were still chewing on their pens put down their pens. The last student in each group got up and started to roll up. The quiet classroom was filled with a cry of relief.
Their second year of high school was over.
Li Haitang and the other four packed their books, picked up their schoolbags, and strode to the place where their bicycles were parked to pick up the car. In the midst of the "Exhortation" along the way, they returned to their dormitory under the scorching sun.
As soon as he got home, Lin Peipei threw his bag on the table and rushed into the bathroom as fast as he could. Then he heard the sound of "Clatter" in the bathroom. Half a minute later, she came out with a large bucket of water, and everyone was very conscious of bringing their own face towels to wash their faces to cool down.
"Oh my god, I'm finally back to life. It's really hot this summer." Su Tong, who had short hair, wiped her hair with a wet towel.
"Not only is it hot, it's especially stuffy." Lin Peipei threw down the towel, poured another cup of cold water, and gulped it down.
Li Haitang slowly wiped his neck and arms and told them, "It's going to rain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"How do you know?" Xia Lin asked.
Li Haitang threw the handkerchief back into the basin and rubbed it down, "When I went to Teacher Qin's office this morning to get my english workbook, I heard the weather forecast on her radio. It's going to rain in the next few days, or it's going to rain."
"It's a good rainy day. It's just cooling down. Let's rest at home for a few days." Su Tong was looking forward to a rainy day.
Li Haitang hung up the towel to dry, poured the water from the basin into the bathroom, and casually said to them, "Su Tong, Pepe, you two rest at home for five days. After five days, go to the provincial Clothing wholesale division to help. Although it's hot these days, business is booming, and more than a dozen employees are a little busy."
"Okay." The two of them had no problem with this. They had only invested in money before, and they had not been able to do anything about it. It was time to help out during the winter and summer holidays.
"I'll go too. Our luggage store has eight employees just fine, and my brother will be there for the summer vacation. I don't need to worry about this shop." Xia Lin was thinking about the Clothing wholesale division.
Li Haitang seemed to see what she was thinking and made a suggestion, "Xia Lin, how about two or three more people?"
"Okay, let's go over and see." Xia Lin poured water and asked, "How long are you going to the capital this time?"
"It should be about a week. I'm not sure yet." Li Haitang took a bottle of drinks from the cupboard for each of them and said with a smile, "After I come back from the capital, I have to go to Hushi. Then the four of us can go to Hushi to play together. We don't need money now anyway."
"Okay, okay!" Su Tong and Lin Peipei nodded repeatedly. They had not been out of the province yet and were especially interested in going out for fun.
It was settled. After packing up, Lin Peipei and Su Tong went home with their luggage on their backs. Li Haitang went to pick up jin qiao from the tube-shaped building where lin peipei lived and planned to take her to the provincial capital on a ride with xia lin's family.
Li Haitang walked to the door of the tube-shaped building. At this time, many employees were coming back from school. She asked a student to find the door of Mrs. Sister liu's house and knocked on it. There was a hoarse voice of an old man.
An old woman with a slightly bent back opened the door and saw a tall and beautiful girl standing outside. She asked, "Who are you looking for, this classmate?"
"Hello, grandma. My name is Li Haitang. Are you Duan Jinqiao's grandma?"
The old man was in good spirits. Listening to her self-introduction, he smiled lovingly and nodded, "Yes, yes, I am jin qiao's grandmother. Mr. Li, please come in quickly. Jin qiao was just talking about you."
Duan Jinqiao, who was packing in the inner room, heard the voice outside and ran over happily. He smiled shyly and said, "Sister haitang, you're here."
Li Haitang smiled and followed the old woman into the house. He saw duan jinqiao wearing a sky-blue dress today, braided with sheep horns, and wearing white sandals. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen jinqiao in half a year. She's become so beautiful."
Duan Jinqiao smiled shyly and took her arm affectionately. "Sister haitang has become beautiful and has grown a lot taller. She is almost at grandma's doorstep."
The old lady smiled lovingly and poured Li Haitang a cup of tea. "Classmate li, have a cup of tea first. Blow the fan to cool down."
"Grandma, you're welcome. I'm here to pick up jin qiao and go to the provincial capital. My classmate's car is still waiting outside, so we won't be delayed any longer." Li Haitang reached for the glass, took a sip and put it on the table.
Grandma smiled and said, "Okay, okay. It's getting late, so we should leave early so as not to get to the provincial capital before dark. You can come to grandma's house next time."
"Okay, I'll be sure to bother grandma next time." Li Haitang said politely.
Duan Jinqiao had already packed up almost everything, carrying a schoolbag and a big cloth bag in his hand. Li Haitang went over to help her twist it, said goodbye to the old lady and took her away.
It was the driver of the Xia family who came to pick it up today. Xia Lin was in the passenger seat, and Li Haitang and Duan Jinqiao were in the back seat. He looked at his watch. It was exactly 4: 30. He should be able to reach the wholesale department at 6: 00.
Sister haitang, let me tell you something. When I went shopping with grandma this morning, I met Lin Haowen. He was also shopping with his grandma, and he looked unhappy. Later, I asked him and found out that the aunt of the Lin family went to the candy store to make a noise these days. Yesterday, she was rolling around in front of a lot of customers and tripped his mother. Fortunately, she only scratched her skin and was not hurt. When his father went out to deliver the goods, it was his little uncle who called for a few people to kick his aunt out."
Li Haitang frowned, "Why is there such a shameless woman? She's always making trouble. What else can we do in the shop?"
Yes, I've heard about it many times. Once, sister pei pei chased her for a few streets and called the police. She only rested for more than a month. Lin Haowen and the others have a headache too. She comes here every day to make noise, deliberately distort right from wrong, scold them, deliberately disrupt their normal business, even if it's the police, it's not much use. It's the same after a few days of education." Duan Jinqiao has some sympathy for their family meeting such relatives.
Xia lin turned her head and said jokingly, "Lin Peipei doesn't know anything yet. He's going to be a hero again today."
Li Haitang chuckled. "With her fiery temper, she's probably going to chase after her aunt and beat her up again. It's just that this is not the way to go on."
"This morning, I heard from sister pei and her grandmother that her aunt came to the store to make trouble for money. Her eldest son went to the south to work with others at the beginning of the year. In fact, he was robbed by a group of gangsters on the way. In the end, he had a conflict with the local people and was broken by others. After spending a lot of medical expenses, she thought of sister pei's family to make money. Sister pei and her uncles are going to support her family. Today, they all took a leave of absence from the factory and called a bunch of relatives to look for trouble at each other's house." Duan Jinqiao told her everything she knew.
"I see. The Pepe family is a big enemy. It's shameless." Li Haitang despised this kind of person in particular. Every family has its own difficulties.
"Yes, I heard that aunt lin gave her two hundred yuan before, but she always came back to ask for it. She didn't want to give it, and then she started to splash."
Li Haitang curled her lips, "Pepe's mother is a little too weak. That's why her aunt dared to make such a fuss over and over again. If she met Lin Peipei, she wouldn't dare."
"That's right. But sister peipei and her uncles are tough, especially her little uncles. They are very hot-tempered and he takes good care of sister peipei's family. With him at the helm today, her aunt should not dare to make trouble for a short time." Duan Jinqiao analyzed it with a straight face.
"Well, we'll call Pepe tonight and ask him."
When they arrived at the entrance of the wholesale market, it was exactly six o' clock. Li Haitang and Duan Jinqiao got out of the car and thanked the Xia family driver. Then, they dragged the suitcase with the excited Duan Jinqiao and walked towards the wholesale department with big bags and small bags on their backs.
"Mom!" After a few months, Duan Jinqiao saw Sister liu washing the mop at the door of the shop and shouted from a distance.
Liu Fen turned around and saw her daughter coming. She threw down the mop and ran up happily, "Oh, my jinqiao is finally here." She carried the big bag in one hand and took the bag off her back, smiling, "Come on, mom, help you take it."
"Mom, I'll take it myself. It's not heavy." Duan Jinqiao was a very sensible and obedient girl. Her mother worked hard outside to earn money to support her. She never let her mother help out in any way she could.
Li Haitang had a laptop on her back, a suitcase in her right hand, and a bag of extra books in her left hand that she had borrowed from Teacher Qin. She was a little envious when she looked at their loving side. Fortunately, she was not envious after a while, because Li Tao rushed over from the shop with a smile on her face. The first thing she did was take the two big things in her hands.
"Li Tao, when did you arrive?" Li Haitang gave him both of them, but the phone didn't say he would come early.
Li Tao had grown much taller in the past six months, her eyes even, and she grinned, "I left home this morning and arrived at noon."
At this time, a boy in blue shorts ran out of the shop. Li Haitang looked carefully and was slightly surprised, "Ah, Li Yang, you're here too?"
"Yes, Sister hoi tong, brother tao brought me here." Li Yang smiled, a little shy, and reached out, "Sister hoi tong, let me help you with your bag."
"No, it's not heavy. I'll take it myself. Let's go back to the store."
