Liu Dayi smiled heartily, "I am Jianguo's comrade, my name is Liu Dayi. He sent me a telegram yesterday, telling me to come and pick you up this morning. He also told me to help keep an eye on you when you want to rent a store.

Come on, don’t let you be deceived, hahaha”

"Hello, Brother Liu!" Zhang Yongsheng hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands.

The group of people left the train station, and Liu Dayi took them to the bus, "Let's go to my place for a rest and have a meal later. We'll see what arrangements are made."

Zhang Yongsheng asked curiously: "Is Brother Liu also from the provincial capital?"

Liu Dayi shook his head, "No, my hometown is in a small valley in Jiujiang. My family used to be poor and I had no choice but to join the army. Later, by chance, I made a small fortune. When I came back, I opened a small shop in the provincial capital.

I sell breakfast, and my business is pretty good. I just bought a house here last year and took over my wife and children from my hometown."

"Oh! That's great! Being a family together is better than anything else." Zhang Yongsheng sighed, "It's really helpless for me. There are two little ones studying in my hometown, so I really can't take them with me."

Liu Dayi looked at Zhang Linlin and asked curiously: "Is this the eldest girl of your family?"

Zhang Yongsheng nodded, "My eldest daughter has not studied since she graduated from elementary school. This time she brought her here to help me."

"It's good. I have two brats in my family. The eldest is 18 and won't go to school after graduating from junior high school. He insists on joining the army like me. If you want to go, go ahead. I can't stop you. The younger one is 15 and is still studying. I'll give it to him.

I've moved to the provincial capital." Liu Dayi briefly talked about the situation at home.

The bus drove bumpily into the city. The cement road was much easier to navigate. After getting off the bus, the group had to call two tricycles to pick them up.

It was already afternoon when we returned to Liu Dayi's house.

Liu Dayi's daughter-in-law is named Xu Fen. She is a typical rural woman who regards her husband as her first priority. She does whatever Liu Dayi says. She has no ideas of her own and will not refute. She is very enthusiastic towards Zhang Yongsheng's family and prepares meals in no uncertain terms.

, quite satisfactory.

Zhang Yongsheng's family felt embarrassed.

Liu Dayi asked them to sit down. After everyone had eaten, Zhang Yongsheng looked at the sky outside and felt a little anxious, "Brother Liu, where in the city is more lively? Where are there more people living there?"

"That's a lot! If you want to talk about liveliness, except for the city center, there are districts and streets and alleys here. There is no shortage of people everywhere. I haven't asked you what you plan to open a store to sell?" Liu Dayi looked at him doubtfully.

Zhang Yongsheng.

Zhang Yongsheng hesitated and said: "If we want to sell seafood, it would be best to open a store near the vegetable market. In addition to seafood, we can also sell other things, as long as there are many people."

"That's easy! There is a vegetable market street right next to my house. You will know if you come over and take a look tomorrow morning. There are stalls selling vegetables on both sides of the whole street. I sell groceries. As long as I don't sell groceries in front of my door, people will not sell groceries if they want to.

I don’t have any objection, you can also attract some customers for me! Hahaha.” Liu Dayi seemed to be the kind of person who was open-minded and didn’t care about things.

With such a temperament, it’s no wonder that he and Wen Jianguo became good brothers.

Zhang Yongsheng hurriedly asked: "Brother Liu, are there any stores on this street that need to be rented?"

"I have to ask you this. We are an old street here, and it has only become lively in the past two years. When I bought this store, it was quite deserted. I thought that since we sell groceries, as long as

As long as there are many people, it doesn’t matter whether the street is hot or not. Later, more and more people opened shops and stalls came, and it suddenly became a vegetable market."

After Liu Dayi finished speaking, he turned around and went out to ask door to door. There were many families living here, and not every family opened a store.

After asking around, Liu Dayi actually asked about two families. Both families were in better condition, but they were separated and the old man stayed alone in the old house, which was lonely and deserted.

"They don't ask for much rent, but they can only rent the front hall to you to open a shop. They still have to live in the house in the back. I haven't found out the rent for the whole apartment yet. I'll probably ask you again in the next two days."

Liu Dayi said.

Zhang Yongsheng was extremely grateful, "Sorry, Brother Liu, we will go look for it ourselves tomorrow, we still have to rent a house."

If possible, he would rent the house tonight. After all, it is not convenient to live in other people's homes.

At this time, Xu Fen, who had been silent, spoke. She spoke in a local dialect, which Zhang Yongsheng's family could not understand.

Liu Dayi translated, "My wife said there is a house in Alley No. 3 that is for rent. She can take you over to have a look."

"That's a great feeling! Are we going there now?" Zhang Yongsheng made a show of getting up.

Liu Dayi and his wife led him there, and it took about half an hour for them to come back.

Zhang Yongsheng happily said to Huang Suzhen and his daughter, "Let's go! Bring your luggage. We'll stay there for the night. I've already paid the rent."

"So fast? How much did you pay?" Huang Suzhen's eyes widened in shock, and she carried all the luggage on her back neatly.

Zhang Yongsheng also carried two large woven bags and said: "Three months, five yuan a month, the place is not big, one room, and a kitchen less than ten square meters. Let's make do with it. If the business is successful,

I'll change it when I get down."

Huang Suzhen was relieved when she heard that the rent was five yuan a month. It was much lower than she thought.

There were people living in the house before, so it was quite clean and didn't need much cleaning.

After Liu Dayi left, Zhang Yongsheng said to them: "The landlord lives behind a wall. Originally, the house was a complete set, separated by separate houses. It is temporarily unused here, so they rented it out. I don't think there are many people here."

A few, but quite a lot of them are dual-employed. If we sell seafood, the business should be okay.

But we can't just do this business. I've thought about it, I'll sell seafood, and you and Linlin will sell clothes. Even if I don't make money here, you should make money there."

Clothes can be stored easily, unlike seafood which costs a lot and may end up being lost if you can’t sell it.

The next day, Zhang Yongsheng called Wen Jianguo and asked him to send the goods first and take his time with the store. Even if he couldn't find it, he could set up a stall to earn some money first.

At the same time, he also began to wander around the provincial capital to find out the environment here so that he could make further plans.

Liu Dayi saw that Zhang Yongsheng was very organized in his work, and he looked at him even more highly. When he went to bed at night, he said to Xu Fen: "They just arrived here and it's hard to talk to them. If you have time, walk around with Zhang brothers and their wives more."

, help me a little bit.”

Xu Fen looked at her man strangely, "Why are you so concerned about your comrade's relatives?"

Liu Dayi said depressedly: "Have you not seen Brother Zhang's eldest daughter? If our eldest son had not enlisted in the army, he would be getting married by now. Why don't we make plans for him earlier!"

Xu Fen was stunned for a moment and muttered: "You can also find someone local!"

From the bottom of her heart, she still wanted to find a daughter-in-law from their side, who would at least have smooth communication and a similar taste in food.
