"Wow, sister, why did you buy so much food? It's all my favorite food!"
Huo Nian glanced at the various foods and then at Huo Xi, with disbelief written all over his face.
The little head is spinning crazily. Does my sister want to hit Nian'er again? Is that what everyone said about hitting a stick and giving a sweet date?
"Sister, do you want to spank Nian'er?"
"Uh? Did you do something bad?" Huo Xi hurriedly picked up a large bag of food and looked at him.
Seeing a large bag of food leaving him, Huo Nian waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, I didn't do anything bad! I am a good boy. I accompany my father to fish and my mother to the village to collect goods. I also
Help mom get things, if you don’t believe me, ask your parents!”
As he spoke, he looked straight at the bag of food.
"real?"
"Really!" The little head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Okay, then sister believes in you. Only good children have good food to eat. If you don't behave well, sister won't buy it for you next time."
Huo Nian immediately hugged the package back and quickly picked it up... Well, he couldn't hold it, so he turned around and said, "Mom, put it away for Nian'er quickly, and let me and my parents eat slowly."
"Okay, Mom, put it away for us." Yang smiled and came over to help him get it.
Huo Nian happily followed in. Now her sister could never take it back.
Soon he came out with another pocket full of food. With a bright smile on his face, he handed one to his father, one to his mother, and one to his sister. Then he sat on the deck next to Huo Xi, and they all ate with great joy.
.
Huo Xi glanced at him, raised her lips and smiled.
Although this child is delicious, he is easily satisfied if he does not eat alone and is happy if he is given something to eat.
I couldn't help but touch his head, feeling a little emotional.
"Sister?" Huo Nian looked up at her.
"It's okay, just eat. Don't eat too much sweet food. You have to rinse your mouth after eating."
"I know. I remember everything my sister said. If you eat too much sweets, your teeth will be easily eaten by bugs."
"Yes, just remember it."
"Nian'er remembers it."
Yang looked at his sister and brother with a smile on his face: "Why did you bring so many things back? Mom and dad are not in need of anything, and Nian'er is not in need of food. Your father never forgets to buy him delicious food every time he goes ashore.
of."
"Dad is the best, I like dad the most."
Pi Xiaozi smiled at Huo Erhuai, stuck out his butt and got up, ran to his father, fed him a delicious food, then ran back and sat down with a smile.
Huo Erhuai felt so sweet in his heart, he just felt that the wind was clear and the sun was bright, and his days were wonderful everywhere.
Yang was also fed one, and she smiled so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth. She looked at him lovingly and wiped his mouth from time to time.
Huo Xi couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Bring mom and dad back, you can eat as much as you want. Our family is not short of money now. No need to suffer, haha. The health center business has made some money. During this time, the shop has money.
Generous."
"Did you make money? Didn't you say you just didn't lose money?" Huo Erhuai stopped the oar board in his hand and asked.
"That's what I thought at first. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Plus, there were two more health clinics asking for goods, so I made more money."
In fact, what my father said is right. If these tens of thousands of pieces of cloth were sold to small merchants and hawkers, they would make not only this, but double the profit.
"As long as you can make money, that's all. Our business is not about making money. With the health center business, we can also bring about other businesses in the shop. This is the main thing." Yang said.
"Well, mother is right. The business is indeed better now than before. My uncle is so busy that he can't be distracted. He also wants to go back to the ship. But there is always something to be busy with."
Yang didn't take it seriously: "Why is he coming back? Just stay in the shop. Don't go back to Qionghua Lane. See if there is any free space in the shop. Just give him a place to sleep. How about a grown man?" No, it won’t take much effort to go back and forth to Qionghua Lane.”
Huo Xi laughed: "Mom, if uncle knew what you said, he would cry."
"Uncle is going to cry! I told uncle that my mother asked him to lay the floor." Nian'er clapped her little hands.
Everyone laughed. Huo Xi poked him: "Just the tip of your ear."
Guangfeng Water now has a health clinic business, and other businesses have suddenly improved.
Other merchants who were co-contractors inquired about it and heard that Guangfeng Water was related to Jiangbo Mansion, so they did not dare to take any further action.
Shen Qianzhong and Yang Fu came to give gifts and buy linen and cotton cloth for emergencies. Several businesses were happily sold to Guangfeng Shui.
Huo Xi also kept them all in mind.
He didn't care about the merchants who didn't sell goods to them, and asked Shen Qianzhong and Yang Fu to give them gifts.
This action was noticed by all the shops, and usually they did not pay attention to this small shop with only one shop. After this time, Guangfeng Shui was marked down.
For Huo Xi, gifts are constantly sent out and more money is spent. But in the business world, one more friend means a new path, and one with fewer stumbling blocks can make the path smoother. Villains have been difficult to deal with since ancient times.
She had no other way to rely on, so she could only be cautious in her words and actions, and take one step at a time.
They collected some cloth and solved the urgent need. But there was no stock in the warehouse, so Huo Xi thought about where to go to collect another batch of goods.
A few days later, three ships, Yujiang and Qian Xiaoyu, Qian Xiaoxia, which had helped deliver goods to Huai'an, returned. Zou Sheng also returned with a cargo ship from Guangfengshui, escorting a ship of goods from the North.
Huo Xi hadn't seen them for a while, so she and Yang Fu treated them to a meal in a restaurant.
Grandpa Zou and Grandma Zou were also invited. Seeing their increasingly outstanding grandson, the two old men held Zou Sheng's hand and thanked Huo Xi and others again and again.
Yang comforted the old couple: "Zou Sheng is the one who strives for success. If he is not enlightened, no matter how hard shopkeeper Shen trains him, he will not be able to cultivate him, right?"
Grandma Zou stared at her grandson and said with a smile, "I still want to thank you for giving him this opportunity. Now his father and I can rest assured even if we close our eyes."
"Bah, bah, bah, you, you don't have to make the child sad by saying this. He is still a bachelor. You and his grandpa are not allowed to help with the arrangement?" Yang said hurriedly.
Mrs. Zheng also comforted her: "That's right, you and Mr. Zou have become more and more energetic in the past few years, and you can still help Zou Sheng raise his son."
Seeing his grandson blushing at the teasing of everyone, Mr. Zou laughed and said, "Yes, good times are ahead."
Zou Sheng stood up with the teacup in hand: "Thanks to Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo, Huo Xi, Shopkeeper Shen, and everyone for your care in the past few years, my family can live a good life now. We are not like a family, but we are a family. I would like to toast to everyone." ."
Everyone happily picked up their tea cups and drank, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Xiao Miaoer came closer to Huo Xi: "Brother Zou is different from before."
Huo Xi glanced at Zou Sheng, who was chatting with everyone over there, and said with a smile: "You are different too."
Xiao Miaoer hugged her arm and said, "What's different about me?"
"Of course it has grown and become more beautiful."
But the little girl insisted on imitating Huo Xi and dressing up as a boy. Yu Jiang and Aunt Zheng also followed her. The little girl ran with her parents for several years and became more and more ambitious.
Huo Xi glanced at Yu Ya next to her, and saw that she was quite cheerful and lively, dressed like a smart little lady. Then she looked at this little Miao'er, who looked like a boy, even tanned, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Two sisters, why are you biting your ears?" Yang joked.
"It's not two sisters, it's two brothers." Xiao Miao'er stretched her neck and responded.
