Early the next morning, Li Xiangyang and Brother Yong came to Lin Lan's house.
Wu Shufen called him aside and looked at him lovingly: "Xiang Yang, as the saying goes, a son is not as good as a wife, and a daughter is not as good as a son-in-law. I know that you are filial and capable. I will accept everything else you buy, including TVs and sewing machines.
It’s too valuable, we can’t take it.”
Li Xiangyang looked at Wu Shufen and said sincerely: "Aunt, I went with Uncle Da to buy private goods. It didn't cost much. Uncle Lin and the others will come in two days, and they will take them back to get an antenna so they can play the TV."
Today is the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and in two days it will be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the shop opened, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Xiangyang and Lin Lan, Yang Dingbang and Yang Xiaoman got engaged, and Brother Yong and Lin Yuezhen held a wedding reception. Several things came together.
.
The three of them agreed to get engaged and have an engagement wine at home, and then go to Brother Yong's place for a wedding wine.
Wu Shufen saw that it was difficult for him to refuse, so she could only nod: "Don't buy such expensive things next time."
"Okay, I won't buy it anymore." Li Xiangyang agreed.
Her son-in-law was capable and polite, but Wu Shufen was a little worried about her daughter's temperament and that she was not worthy of Li Xiangyang. She secretly encouraged Lin Lan to restrain her temper and treat Li Xiangyang well and be filial to Lao Li.
Li Xiangyang transferred Brother Yong's things to the rack truck, and went to the shop with Lin Lan to move the goods to the department store opposite.
Zhou Xiaohong saw them dragging things over and walked over with a smile: "Xiao Lin, I asked someone to check the date. It will open early on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."
After hearing this, Lin Lan smiled and said: "Hey, I also decided to open on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."
Zhou Xiaohong held her hand and looked at her with a smile: "You guys are so fast. When I got the goods, I hurriedly painted the roof and installed wires and lights. It didn't look upscale at all."
"Dongming said that your shop looks more upscale than mine, and he also said that it would be decorated in your style during the Chinese New Year."
Lin Lan said cheerfully: "It's okay. Let's finish the business before the New Year first. After the New Year, you have to reinstall it and go to my place to get the drawings. Just follow the instructions."
Zhou Xiaohong nodded happily: "Thank you! I will bring it to you when the time comes."
Lin Lan agreed and Li Xiangyang carried the goods into the shop, and the Xiaoxue sisters arrived.
The three of them opened the door ajar and started ordering and arranging the goods. At around nine o'clock, Yang Zhigang came with Uncle He and He Li.
He Li is not tall, has fair skin, and two pockmarks on her face. Her round face and almond-shaped eyes look quite cute.
Uncle He cautiously exchanged a few words with Li Xiangyang and Lin Lan, told He Li to do her best, and then left with Yang Zhigang.
Uncle He's family lives at the end of the alley of Li Xiangyang's house, and he and Lao Li have been friends since childhood. There are four children in the family, and the middle two have already married and separated.
The eldest son has some brain problems and has not yet started a family even though he is 26 or 7 years old. He Li cannot find anything to do at home, so she occasionally goes to the pig farm to help or paste matchboxes to earn some pocket money.
Like yesterday, Lin Lan was arranging the goods and teaching them how to set the time for electronics, quartz clocks, and watches.
The three girls listened carefully and cherished this job.
Li Xiangyang went to the black market in the east of the city to find Shui Qing, and asked them to live in the backyard of the department store to help look after the store and rent it out to support the family.
Shui Qing hesitated for a while and then agreed. He looked at Li Xiangyang gratefully: "Brother, I know you are helping me in different ways. I haven't had your help in these years..."
"Hey! Why are you talking about this?" Li Xiangyang smiled and punched his chest: "We are brothers, so don't talk about this. I have something to tell you after Laba."
Shui Qing nodded: "Okay, I won't say any more." He really shouldn't say words of gratitude, he just needs to remember them in his heart.
Li Xiangyang came out of the east side of the city, bought a pack of price tags and handed them to Lin Lan at the shop before going to the slaughterhouse.
After lunch, Shui Qing and two boys pulled the frame truck to Limin Street and moved the things into the backyard.
Xiaoxue and Xiaomei arrived pushing their bicycles and carrying their mother Zhou Yongmei behind them.
Zhou Yongmei was very thin and was out of breath even after saying a few words. After saying a few polite words to Lin Lan, she went to sit in the backyard.
Yang Dingbang and Dongzi both came to the department store. When they saw the counters and containers in the store, they smiled and said, "Why is your counter wider than the ones in the department store?"
Dongzi looked at the glass on the shelf: "Who came up with this look? It looks much better than the wooden shelves in department stores."
Li Xiangyang pointed at Lin Lan proudly: "My wife came up with it, it's amazing!"
Yang Dingbang rubbed his hands: "This guy's face is thicker than the city wall."
Lin Lan blushed and glared at him, Yao Xiuyun and Yang Xiaoman pulled her and laughed.
Yao Xiuyun and Yang Xiaoman told Lin Lan that their colleagues at the police station liked the sweaters they wore and planned to come to her place on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Lin Lan looked at the two of them and smiled and said: "Thank you to the two heroic female police comrades for promoting me. I will have a grand opening discount for the next two days, with a 10% discount on the entire store..."
Dongzi added: "Yes, business will definitely be more prosperous if there is an opening event."
Lin Lan nodded and continued: "There are also points redemption..."
"Points redemption?" Yao Xiuyun looked at Lin Lan puzzled, "What is points redemption?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "You can earn one point when you spend one dollar with me. When you accumulate the points we set, you can redeem them for designated items in the store, or enjoy certain discounts."
Yao Xiuyun, Yang Xiaoman and others understood after thinking about it, and pointed at Lin Lan with a smile: "Sister Lin, how did you get this brain? You actually came up with such a good way to attract customers."
Lin Lan randomly found a reason: "I heard it occasionally in Yangcheng. They said that this can retain customers."
Li Xiangyang thought she heard it while she was resting in the guest house, and didn't pay attention. He took out a stack of labels from the drawer, placed them on the counter, and greeted Yang Dingbang and others with a smile: "You guys are sitting on the desk in the office, come and do it."
Alive."
Dongzi picked up a label: "Oh! So it turns out we are asked to write a price tag."
Yang Dingbang smiled and said: "We can write price tags for you, it's only a dime each."
"Deal," Li Xiangyang patted him and handed him the pen, "Hurry up and go to my place tomorrow to get the things I brought back for you."
Lin Lan asked Xiaoxue and Xiaomei to bring chairs for a few people to sit on, put the price list on the round table, and asked them to write down it.
About ten people worked until seven or eight o'clock to put up the price tags from clothing stores and department stores.
Dongzi used a calligraphy pen on two pieces of red paper to help write the grand opening offer, a promotional poster with a 10% discount on the entire venue, and a points redemption plan.
Li Xiangyang said hello to Shui Qing, then took Dongzi and Yang Dingbang to the clothing store opposite, where they each picked out a woolen sweater.
Lin Lan asked Yang Dingbang: "What are you going to wear on your wedding day? See if there is a style you like."
Yang Dingbang patted the uniforms on his body: "Xiaoman and I just wear uniforms."
Li Xiangyang nodded: "The uniforms they wear are very suitable."
Several people looked around the clothing store before saying goodbye to Yang Zhigang and going back to their homes.
