Chapter 287 287 Everyone wants to be a salesperson
Wu Shufen and Lin Changyou carried a bucket of water into the yard: "Xiaolan, why don't you look at a shop in the city?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Xiang Yang's father is in the shop. I will come back to help make the pumpkin cake."
Lin Changyou put down the bucket: "You guys are at home, I'll go to the shop to talk to my in-laws."
Wu Shufen nodded: "Go ahead and invite your in-laws to come to Lexing for dinner at noon."
"Okay, let's fry two side dishes and my in-laws and I will have a few sips." Lin Changyou took the handkerchief, wiped his hands and left.
"Dad," Lin Lan hurriedly stopped him, "when you exit the alley, walk a few dozen steps to the right and there will be a bus stop. Get on the bus and get off at the Xinhua Bookstore stop. Opposite is the department store."
"Got it." Lin Changyou strode away.
Lin Lan took the pumpkin to the kitchen to peel it, and Lin Yuezhen took out the big white beans from the steamer and poured them into the clay bowl and started peeling them.
Wu Shufen poured the water used to cook the bean curd into a sand pot that had not been stained with oil, and prepared to make sauerkraut.
When the sauerkraut was almost ready, Wangcai barked in the yard.
Then came Qiaohui's voice scolding Wangcai: "Cousin, the second aunt and the younger aunt are here."
"Here we come." Lin Lan put down the kitchen knife and walked out.
Wu Shufen frowned, poured all the water into the jar for pickling sauerkraut, closed the lid tightly, and walked out.
Lin Lan went out and saw a thin woman with short shoulder-length hair, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old who looked a bit smart, and Wu Shuqin and her daughter walked into the courtyard: "Second aunt, aunt, please come in and sit down.
."
She remembered that this second aunt did not have a good relationship with sisters Wu Shufen and Wu Shufang. She and Xiang Yang were engaged yesterday and neither of them came. Why are they here today?
Wu Shuhui stepped forward with an exaggerated smile and reached out to grab Lin Lan: "Oh, look at our Xiaolan, you can't tell that she has been a mother for several years."
"You look even prettier than when you were a girl at home. Oh, now you are the big boss. Without your aunt, a country bumpkin like my second aunt wouldn't even dare to visit your house."
Lin Lan felt that her smile was too fake, her voice and movements were too exaggerated, and she felt that the pores all over her body stood up: "Second aunt, my hands are covered with pumpkin pulp. Aunt, Xinglan, and cousin, please sit down."
She greeted politely and took her hand out.
Wu Shuhui waved her hands repeatedly: "The flesh of the pumpkin is not dirty. My second aunt even touched the excrement when she went to the fields."
Lin Lan didn't know what to do, and thought to herself: No wonder Wu Shufen said that Wu Shuhui didn't have the temperament of his family, but was exactly like the old lady at home, she was selfish.
Wu Shufen and Qiaohui came out of the kitchen carrying two bamboo chairs each and smiled politely: "Shuhui, why didn't you come with Shuqin yesterday?"
Wu Shuhui smiled and said, "I was delayed yesterday because of something." Wu Shuqin brought a message from her second child, saying that Lin Lan, who had been widowed and remarried, was engaged, and invited her to come and have a wedding banquet in Lexing. She made an excuse, saying that she had something to do at home and couldn't leave, so she didn't come.
.
Little did I know that my daughter-in-law came back from Shuqin's house yesterday and said that Lin Lan was doing great things now. Not only did she kill a fat pig for the wedding ceremony, but the man's betrothal gift could scare anyone to death.
He also said that the husband’s family had a strong foundation. Not only did they open a department store for Xiaolan, they also opened a clothing store. The goods in the store were better than those in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wu Shuhui thought that Yao'er Xiaobo was fooling around with the second-rate guys in the team all day long at home, so she took him to Lexing with Shuqin and asked Lin Lan to find Xiaobo a job as a salesperson in her shop.
Wu Shuqin on the side curled her lips, the four kissing sisters, no one knows who the other is!
He brought her a letter and asked her to come and drink Lin Lan's engagement wine. She pouted and said that she would be engaged after being widowed and remarried. She also said that she was not free. Baba came with her today because she wanted to find Xiaolan to find a job for her youngest.
Do.
Wu Shufen smiled faintly and said to Lin Lan: "Xiaolan, go and do your business. I'll talk to your second aunt and aunt here."
Lin Lan nodded and walked toward the kitchen with Qiao Hui, and Tong Xinglan followed.
After Wu Shufen sat down, she looked at her nephew who was sitting on the stool with his eyes darting around and asked, "Has Xiaobo found a partner?"
Xu Xiaobo said with a cross face: "Not yet! I don't like what my mother likes, but she doesn't like what I like. She won't let me go to the army even if I want to."
"What's the good thing about being a soldier? When you go out, you wear big red flowers and are sent off with gongs and drums. When you come back!" Wu Shuhui rolled her eyes at him, "It's like a defeated dog with its tail pinned, whispering back.
Home."
Wu Shufen's face suddenly darkened: "Shuhui, what you said makes me feel uncomfortable. Have you ever seen a person who returned from the army and returned home quietly like a drowned dog?"
"Bah bang bang!" Wu Shuhui slapped herself in the mouth a few times, "Second sister, I forgot that Guozhu and Guoqiang also served as soldiers. Guozhu and Guoqiang are capable, and they are different from those who are incompetent.
Same!"
Wu Shuqin's mouth twitched a few times after hearing this, and she quickly turned her head and looked aside to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
After seeing her, Wu Shufen didn't want to argue with her, so she stood up and said, "Shuqin, sit with Shuhui for a while while I cook."
"Second sister," Wu Shuhui stopped her and said with an apologetic smile, "I heard from Shuqin that the person Xiaolan married is quite capable. I brought Xiaobo here to ask Xiaolan's fiancé to help find something for Xiaobo to do."
Wu Shufen said with a smile: "I opened a pig farm in Xiangyang, killing pigs and selling them. Do you think Xiaobo wants to go to the pig farm to feed pigs, or should he follow and learn to kill pigs?"
She had long heard Shu Qin say that Xu Xiaobo was spoiled by Shu Hui and followed the second-rate men in the team to steal and let him help Xiao Lan sell department stores. Wouldn't it be like hiring a thief to guard the door and asking for trouble?
She wants her to say that Xu Xiaobo is so spoiled that he should be allowed to join the army and have the army discipline him properly to avoid going astray.
Xu Xiaobo said with a look of disgust: "I won't go to a pig farm because it stinks, and I won't go to a pig-killing farm."
Wu Shufen thought to herself, "You are still picking. Seeing that you can't carry your shoulders or raise your hands, you are still having second thoughts about whether Xiangyang wants to do it or not."
Wu Shuhui held back her displeasure and said with a smile: "Second sister, you know that Xiaobo has been in poor health since childhood and cannot do heavy work. Can you ask her cousin-in-law to find something for him to do in the shop?"
Wu Shufen smiled bitterly and said: "There are already people in the shop, and they are all the children of Xiangyang's relatives and friends. It's not easy for us to interfere."
Wu Shuhui said with a worried look: "How can Xiaolan agree to let the man's relatives sell things in the shop? Why don't you be more careful?"
Wu Shufen smiled: "We don't ask for anything, as long as our son-in-law treats Xiaolan well." She looked at Wu Shuhui and changed the topic, "Besides, we didn't spend a penny on the two shops, so why should we take care of them?
What’s going on with the groom’s family?”
There is no use in provoking, Xiaolan is in charge of everything in the shop, and the money from the sale is left to Xiaolan. I know my son-in-law's character well.
