Chapter 157 friend chat
Liu Fen had a very pleasant smile on her face. She was very happy that her stepson was so nice to her daughter. Seeing that the two children were getting along well, she really relaxed. Even her family members praised Li Jianguo and Li Tao for their good relationship.
"The doors and windows in our hometown are still unfinished. There are so many things here that we don't have time to go back. Jian hong asked for help to finish the windows and doors. They are being installed at home these days. I asked them to entertain the workers at home." Li Jianguo told her why they were going back to their hometown for the new year this year. If there were no windows and doors in the winter, they would freeze.
Li Haitang did not know that there were still some unfinished houses in his hometown. He suggested, "Why don't aunt fen go back earlier? I'll take her place."
Li Jianguo nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to the Sauce and vinegar factory these two days. It won't be long before it snows. The two children are worried at home. It's good if Liu Fen goes back early."
Liu Fen didn't have any problem with that. She was really worried about handing over the family affairs to her two and a half year old children. Also, today was the first year she married into the li family. Naturally, she had to prepare all the new year's supplies at home early, and wait for them to go back to warm up the new year.
After dinner in the evening, Li Jianguo told her about the recent events, mainly the handover from the Sauce and vinegar factory, and only sent her to a nearby hotel around 8: 30.
It took three days to finally get the Sauce and vinegar factory thing done.
The workers in the factory had long been dismissed. The original items were sold at a low price by the former factory manager. Now there was only an empty house, but there was a strong sour smell inside.
Li Haitang came out from the inside and almost vomited. He took a few deep breaths outside before he recovered, "I really admire those workers who worked in such a dirty environment for so many years."
Li Jianguo pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "The Sauce and vinegar factory is like this. We usually put a little bit of food in it and it doesn't taste too bad. It's especially obvious to stay here."
Li Haitang nodded. After a visit to this small workshop Sauce and vinegar factory, she was a little averse to the sauce and vinegar now. It seemed that it would be better to cook less in the future. Sitting in the passenger seat, he fastened his seat belt and suddenly remembered the man he saw last time, "By the way, dad, where's your friend uncle hao who works here?"
"The sauce Vinegar factory is sold and he's back home, but I told him to come to our shop next year. He got his driver's license, and he's very diligent. I'm going to ask him to help me deliver the car." Li Jianguo said as he drove back.
Li Haitang nodded. She never asked him about these small things and let him decide. She had seen uncle hao once. Unlike his father, who had a dull temperament, uncle hao was more talkative and funny. His hometown was also rural. He had driven a tractor at home in his twenties, so it was easier for him to get a driver's license now, and his driving skills were good.
"Rongzi called yesterday. He said he was coming to our place for lunch with Yongchun today. He should be here by now." Li Jianguo casually told her about it.
Li Haitang turned to look at him and asked, "Didn't they go back to their hometown on vacation? Why are you here again?"
"He's already here. I went back during the winter break, and I stayed at home for two days before I came over. The two of them also put a lot of goods in our warehouse before the holiday. I guess they wanted to sell them all before the new year." With that, there was a traffic light at the intersection ahead, and Li Jianguo stepped on it.
Li Haitang leaned forward slightly and asked him again, "Where do they live these days? They shouldn't be allowed to live at school anymore, right?"
"He lives in the house of the driver who taught us how to drive. The driver is a local. His home is not far from Yongchun school. His wife owns a small guest house at home. They both live in the guest house."
Father and daughter chatted with each other and soon returned to the wholesale market.
Li Haitang jumped out of the car and saw that Li Yongchun and Li Rong had indeed arrived and were helping out in the shop. She smiled and said, "Li Yongchun, Brother Rongzi, you guys are helping out as soon as you come. Are you afraid that you will be sorry for freeloading later?"
Liu Fen grinned. There were so many children here, and every time they came, they had to help with whatever they could do. She could not stop them, so she had to let them.
"Every time we come here, not only do we hang out for dinner, uncle jianguo and aunt fen always bring a big bag of snacks for them. If we don't do something, we're really embarrassed to come back."
Li Rong turned around and smiled at her. Together with Li Yongchun, they stacked the bags of snacks on the ground. They were tall and strong, and soon tidied up the house.
Li Haitang was joking with them. He put his backpack in the counter and went to the tea room to make a cup of hot tea for everyone.
"Li Haitang, we just heard from aunt fen that you bought the Sauce and vinegar factory next to fengshu high school, didn't we?" Li Yongchun took the tea she brought and sat with her beside the charcoal stove to make a fire.
"Yes, I was just going to hand over the last thing."
Li Rong placed the tea bowl on the table, half squatting on the same height as her, and asked her, "Haitang, do you want to open the sauce Vinegar factory?"
"No, I bought the land, not the Sauce and vinegar factory." Li Haitang pulled him down and gave him a speechless look. Was it fun to compare height with childishness every time?
"What are you going to do there?" Li Yongchun was concerned about this.
Li Haitang told them what he planned to do before, then smiled and said, "All the money in his hands is spent on buying this factory. It will cost a lot of money to build two houses next. It will have to wait for a while."
Both of them seemed to have been struck by lightning. A moment later, Li Rong spat out, "Li Haitang, don't go outside and say we know each other."
How could Li Haitang not understand the joke in his words and follow his words and say, "Well, don't say you know me."
Li Rong: ... "Unpleasant girl movie."
Li Yongchun smiled, pulled Li Haitang's arm, and pleaded, "Hey, Li Haitang, when your house is built, leave me a facade."
"Sure, are you going to open a shop?"
Li Yongchun took a sip of tea and decided, "I plan to develop in the provincial city in the future. After graduation, I will most likely be assigned to work in the steel mill. I want to rent a place with you and let my parents come over to do some small business together."
"Uncle yuan lin won't work in the cement plant anymore?" Li Haitang remembered that many men in the village wanted to work as contractors in the cement factory.
Li Yongchun shook his head, "Working in a cement factory is not bad, but I think I can make more money outside. In addition, some time ago, you had to hire someone in your shop. Uncle jianguo called back. My father was a little moved. After you worked here and asked me for my opinion, I supported him here. Now my sister has gone to the technical secondary school, and my brother is in junior high school. When the time comes, my grandparents will take care of him and ask my mother to help me manage this new store."
"Sure, I'll leave you a front. But it will take some time to build this house, and it will probably be in the second half of next year as soon as possible."
Li Yongchun smiled and said, "No problem. It just so happens that I can make more capital in this year."
Speaking of the two of them earning money, Li Haitang smiled and asked, "Tell me the truth, how much did you two earn this year?"
Neither of them said a word and only gave her a finger.
"Tsk tsk, you two are really good at it. You are two little rich people." Li Haitang was genuinely impressed. The two of them were really good. They both earned nearly five thousand yuan for such a small fight.
We have a lot of money in front of outsiders. It's not enough to look at in front of you. Stop teasing us." Li Yongchun chuckled. She was a few months younger than herself, but she earned hundreds of thousands a year. He hadn't built a house in his hometown in a year, but she had bought a piece of land in the provincial capital. That was the real difference.
"Okay, I won't tease you. Let's get down to business. How many goods do you have this time? How are you going to sell it?" Li Haitang was concerned about this problem. It might not be easy to sell it out in this cold winter.
"I still have nearly three thousand dollars in my hands. Rongzi has more, probably more than four thousand. He had made an appointment with some of his old customers and should be able to sell about a thousand goods, with more than half left. We wanted to set up a stall in a crowded place, but it looks like it's going to snow. It's a little bad." Li Yongchun spoke from the bottom of his heart.
As Li Haitang peeled the melon seeds, he thought about it in his mind and gave them a suggestion: "You should go to the department store or the big market and rent a sheltered stall to sell. Don't just set up a stall on the side of the road."
The two of them looked at each other and asked, "Isn't it expensive to rent a booth in those places?"
Li Haitang shook his head, "You're renting for a short period of time. It's only for half a month. You don't need to show off. It shouldn't cost much."
"Then let's go ask first."
The locals are basically going to start buying new year's goods. At this time, the department stores and the market must be doing very well. If they can rent a booth inside, they should be able to sell out this batch of goods by the year before.
After dinner, Li Haitang accompanied them to one of the biggest farmers'markets in recent years. He found the market manager and told him what he wanted. The other party was a very kind middle-aged man. Seeing that the three of them were not badly dressed, he thought that the children of some state-owned units earned some pocket money during the holidays. He agreed immediately and gave them a good booth. Of course, the price was higher than the others.
There are not only wholesale markets around this farmer's market, but also four or five residential areas, a large cotton mill, so there is no need to mention the flow of people. After completing the formalities, the two of them immediately went to prepare simple shelves and other things, and planned to come over tomorrow morning to set up the stall.
Li Haitang was done with her work, and Liu Fen handed her the task at hand. The next day, she went back to Lee ka tsuen first.
