Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Longtan Street.

A small shop with a small area is filled with various agricultural products. Even if it is not a fair day, customers come to the door from time to time. It can be seen that the business of this shop is indeed very good and it already has a fixed customer base.

At this time, the people guarding the store were none other than Zhang Xiuping's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law.

"Hello, do you need anything else?"

"Okay, the total is two dollars and sixty-four cents."

"I charge you two yuan and seventy cents, and give you six cents."

"You go slowly, welcome to come again next time!"

"..."

After watching the customers leave, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Sister-in-law, when I was a girl, what I envied most were the saleswomen who worked in the supply and marketing cooperatives. They were not exposed to the wind and the sun, and they just simply sold goods. Things, you can get such a high salary in a month, and I heard that it also has many hidden benefits.

At that time, my biggest dream was to work in a supply and marketing cooperative and become a salesperson. "

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but smile and said: "This is not just your dream. Which girl in the village doesn't want to be a salesperson?"

Sister-in-law Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's very respectable to be a salesperson, and the salary is so good. It's a pity that I think so, but with our family background and not having studied for a few years, we want to become a member of the supply and marketing cooperative." That’s absolutely impossible for a salesperson.”

Sister-in-law Zhang had to agree with this. She had not studied for a few years and had no connections at home. It was really a fantasy and an absolutely impossible dream to become a salesperson who was one of the Eight Great Members.

"There was no hope when I was a girl, and there is no need to think about it after I get married!"

At this point, Sister-in-law Zhang changed her voice and said with a smile on her face: "But who knew that now we would not only become salespersons, but also become what others call the boss's wife. It really fulfills that sentence - everything in the world is impermanent!"

Sister-in-law Zhang said with a smile: "Both of us are thanks to my sister-in-law!"

Zhang Er's sister-in-law nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, the two of us who are sisters-in-law really owe it to our sister-in-law. If it weren't for my sister-in-law's help, we would still be cultivating the fields in the village and breastfeeding our children. How could we sit here like this? It’s easy to make money here!”

Sister-in-law Zhang said: "Pingmei is pregnant now, we should take time to check it out."

Second Sister-in-law Zhang said: "I also have this idea. If we don't wait until we go back for dinner in the afternoon, we will discuss it with my parents-in-law and take some time to go see Pingmei together. Anyway, as long as it is not a fair day, the door will not be closed for the whole day. It’s tight.”

Sister-in-law Zhang hummed and said, "Okay, I'll discuss this matter with my parents-in-law when I get back in the afternoon."

Just as they were chatting, another customer came to the door. The two stopped talking and greeted the customers warmly.

…

In the afternoon, brothers Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoumin returned to the store on their bicycles carrying a load of agricultural products, which they had purchased in remote mountain villages.

Since the store opened, the division of labor has been relatively clear. The Zhang brothers are responsible for going to the countryside to receive goods, while their wives are responsible for selling.

As for their father and two younger brothers, they farm at home in their spare time and go out together to help sell goods and deliver goods during the day.

Their mother helps take care of the children at home.

After putting all the goods away, it was getting late, so the brothers closed the store door, each took their wives, and happily went home for dinner.

When I got home, my mother had already prepared meals and was waiting for her.

Seeing the two big bowls of yellow fried pork on the table, Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They have been married into the Zhang family for several years, and they all know very well what kind of character their mother-in-law is.

I won’t talk about it when the family was in difficulty in the past. I will just say that this year after opening a store, my mother-in-law made a lot of money. However, my mother-in-law is still quite frugal when it comes to food. She only buys about a pound of meat every time, which is enough for the family. It's a unique taste. It's impossible to let go and eat it.

Of course, now that I am making money, it is still different from before. In the past, I rarely bought meat once a month, but now I buy meat at least once a week. There is still a difference.

Today, the two large bowls of meat were estimated to weigh three to four kilograms. This is why Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang were surprised.

Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Mom, why did you buy so much meat today? Is there any happy event?"

Mother Zhang said with a smile: "I didn't buy this meat, it was brought by the children's uncle."

Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but suddenly realized after hearing this, no wonder there was so much meat on the table today, it turned out that it was their brother-in-law who came.

Second sister-in-law Zhang smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I discussed it with my sister-in-law when we were in the store today and we were planning to take some time to go see Ping Mei together!"

Sister-in-law Zhang nodded and said: "We want to go together as a family. I wonder what your opinions are, parents?"

Hearing these words, the two brothers Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoujun felt relieved. Their family was today thanks to their sister. Now that their daughter-in-law offered to visit their sister, they were naturally happy to be brothers.

The two daughters-in-law have this heart, and Zhang's father and Zhang's mother are also very happy.

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "That's a coincidence. Your brother-in-law came here specially today to invite our family to their house for a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow."

Second Sister-in-law Zhang asked: "Mom, what kind of wedding wine are you having?"

Thinking of the news her son-in-law told her, Zhang's mother exclaimed: "Xiuping's brother-in-law who is in high school has been admitted to BJ University this year!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Zhang's father, who already knew the inside story, was shocked. They didn't know the value of BJ University, but being able to get into the university was already very impressive to them.

What's more, he was admitted to a university in the capital, which is even more awesome.

The shock of her son and daughter-in-law was completely expected by Zhang's mother. Then she relayed the news that her son-in-law told her one by one, and finally said: "This is my plan. The old man and I will take the lead tomorrow morning." Xiaojun Xiaoshan and the children will go to Xiuping's house together. Shouguo Shoumin, you two have bicycles. Just wait until the store closes in the afternoon and then ride over with your wife. What do you think? "

Zhang Shouguo nodded and said, "Mom, this is a good arrangement. It won't affect the continued business tomorrow. You only need to close the door the day after tomorrow."

Others also agreed with this arrangement.

Mother Zhang said happily: "Then it's settled. The in-laws also invited the county theater troupe to perform a play. I will stay with the children for a few more days this time. I will come back after watching the play. You will be back then. Just take care of the food problem yourself.”
