When Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan ate, the dish was Chinese cabbage and the meat was roast mutton.
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Both my third uncle and my father ate a lot of mutton, and my father also ate several large pieces. In the afternoon, my father and I went back to the village and distributed wedding candies and cakes to everyone. Our little Yangyang was born, so we had to go back to the village to say goodbye.
I also told the village chief to write Xiao Yangyang’s name on the family tree.”
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Xue Ling asked: "Is everything done?"
"It's done." Cheng Tianyuan said: "I bought a lot of sugar in the morning, and also went to the bakery to buy two hundred small cakes. After returning, Chang Bo and the village chief helped distribute the sugar, and they were all given away quickly."
Xue Ling asked: "Are the village chief and Uncle Chang okay?"
"You are in good health." Cheng Tianyuan said: "Uncle Chang is still raising sheep. Recently, three or four old sheep have given birth to several lambs. They are very small and very cute. When he saw us, he specially killed a sheep and gave it to us.
half."
"How can that be done?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "My dad gave him a bag of candy and several packs of cigarettes. Before I left, I gave him a red envelope with thirty yuan in it."
"Yeah." Xue Ling said: "Give more, don't let him lose money. It's not easy for an old man to raise a flock of sheep, and he also has to live a life."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "Uncle Chang is very happy! He also said that in two days when a batch of lambs will be bigger, he will kill one and send it to us. My father and mother both like to eat mutton, so I agreed and let him
I'll send it over when I come to the county town for the market."
"Not bad." Xue Ling ate the roasted mutton and muttered: "If the old man likes it, just make more. The weather is cold, so it's good to eat mutton. The main reason is that Ahu is not here, so the roasting is not so delicious."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "It's not that it doesn't taste good, it's because it's cold, so the meat is hard. I ate a small piece earlier, and it was quite good. Ahu's mother's cooking is also good. Ahu came out
It's better than blue, that's why it's so delicious."
Xue Ling picked up the rice and asked: "By the way, you went to the store this morning to see how it was? Is the business still stable?"
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and whispered: "Stable is stable, but it is not as good as before. This is understandable. Even if Amin delivers goods on time, but the store owner is not here, the employees are naturally not as hard-working and dedicated as before, and how many sales are there?
"No." Cheng Tianyuan replied: "I won't lose money. I can make some money, but it's just a little less."
"Is it much?" Xue Ling asked.
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "It's two to three hundred a month less. Forget it, just make a profit without losing money."
After Xue Ling heard this, his eyes flickered and he did not dare to speak again.
Cheng Tianyuan noticed it very quickly and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"...No." Xue Ling muttered: "We will stay here to celebrate the New Year. When the New Year comes, the business will get better. As long as we do well, we can make back what we didn't earn before during the New Year."
"Business will indeed be very good during the New Year." Cheng Tianyuan said: "I was scared of the business last year. The goods came in batch after batch, and the sales were so fast."
Xue Ling chuckled and said: "I have time to help you this year, so why not hold a few days of big New Year promotions and make money by quantity for a while."
"We'll talk about it then." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "You should also take a break. Besides, there are two children at home!"
"It's okay." Xue Ling said: "We will leave the younger one at home with his parents and bring the older one to help!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "Okay, we will discuss it then. If we have enough manpower, then we will do it like this."
Xue Ling said: "There are only a hundred or so unsold houses in the second phase. There are not many left. We are planning to sell them at a discount and sell them cheaper."
"Really?" Cheng Tianyuan seemed to have thought of something and whispered: "Daughter-in-law, is there a small suite over there?"
"Yes, there are about eighty square meters." Xue Ling explained: "Small apartment."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and explained: "Earlier Achangbo told me that his son has been working in the county for more than ten years, and his grandson is also in his teens. It is not an option to always rent a house in the old city.
He wanted to buy a small house. He also said that he hoped I could lend him two to three hundred yuan, a little over time. I agreed. In our clan, Uncle Biao and his family are gone, and they are the only ones left with us.
Dear, as long as I can help, I will try my best to help."
When Xue Ling heard this, he said happily: "You go find them, and I will find a set for them."
"How much cheaper can it be?" Cheng Tianyuan said: "Eighty square meters should be more than one thousand or two thousand."
Xue Ling shook his head and replied: "After the discount, it's only more than a thousand. What's left now is that the balcony view is not that good, so I try to sell it as cheaply as possible. They are my own people, so I will naturally find a lower price to sell it to."
.”
"One thousand?" Cheng Tianyuan asked with a smile, "Is that okay?"
"Okay." Xue Ling said: "Anyway, it's a relative of my own family, so it's not less than a few hundred yuan. Besides, he borrowed a few hundred yuan for you later, isn't it the same reason? We might as well give it to someone at a low price at once and give him one as a gift.
A great favor.”
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "Then let me thank you for Uncle Chang first. When he comes over in a few days, I will tell him carefully. His family is all honest people, Uncle Chang and his wife are very honest, and his daughters and
The same goes for his son. He also has only one son, the youngest. He works here, and his wife takes care of the children at home. The family of four or five lives in a small rented house. Fortunately, Uncle Chang comes to help them every now and then, giving them rice, food, and vegetables.
Otherwise, life will always be tight."
Xue Ling clicked his tongue twice and said, "If that's the case, it would probably be difficult for them to come up with a thousand yuan at once."
"It doesn't matter, I can help them put it on first." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "They can take as much as they can, and I will help put the rest on it. When they have money, they can pay me back."
Xue Ling suppressed laughter and asked: "Isn't this too troublesome? What? Is there a lot of difference between you paying this money and me paying this money?"
If that's the case, then she might as well just give this apartment to Chang Bo's family and let them pay it back later when they have money.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and shook his head: "It makes no difference. If you built this house yourself and everything belongs to you alone, then it doesn't matter if I give him a small set to Uncle Chang. But, after all, this real estate belongs to you and
Boss Liao is cooperating with you. If you sell it to your own people at a cheaper price, it is already a big deal. If you give it as a gift, it will affect Boss Liao’s income! After all, he accounts for 20%. Although it is not much, it is two hundred
It’s also money. Money is one thing, respecting your partners is another. You have to pay attention to this.”
"It makes sense." Xue Ling nodded, "I didn't think about this level at all. Well, I'll sell it to him cheaper. As for whether I can pay him back, you can help me advance the payment first."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan gave her a tender yellow cabbage heart and said warmly: "Eat it quickly, don't let it get cold and it won't taste good after a while."
