Shen Shuying lowered her head and saw that she had buttoned her coat wrongly. She smiled and unbuttoned it again.

"Where can I take off my clothes? Uncle Tang is partially paralyzed. There is a lot of work left behind at home. I was busy cleaning up. It was too hot to work, so I unbuttoned my clothes."

"Why did it take so long to open the door?"

"I was working in the side room, and the door was closed. I didn't hear you. It was me who was called by Uncle Tang."

This reason is very good, and it is useless for Uncle Tang to hear it, because he is paralyzed.

Shen Shuying responded appropriately. Even if Lao Hong was unhappy, he had nothing to say. He glanced at the courtyard suspiciously, "Is there anyone else in the courtyard?"

"The old man is paralyzed without anyone else. Think about it, if there were others, would he still hire a nanny?"

Shen Shuying said, grabbing Lao?'s arm and pushing it out, "Since you are here, let's go back early, right?"

Lao Hong was pushed out, and he held his neck reluctantly. A man's instinct told him that there was definitely something fishy about Uncle Tang.

However, Shen Shuying had already closed the door, "Uncle Tang, I will leave then, and you should rest early."

A hoarse voice came from the yard, "Okay, be careful on the road."

A perfectly normal conversation.

The door had been closed, and Lao Hong had to leave even if he didn't want to. Seeing the couple walking away awkwardly, the Chen family closed the door tightly.

"Something's wrong. Shen Shuying hasn't left for so long? What is she doing at Old Man Tang's house?" The fourth uncle scratched his head, confused.

"I don't know, these two people have an evil aura."

Everyone felt something was wrong. Thinking of Old Man Tang's character, it was inevitable not to think in that direction.

It stands to reason that a lonely man and a widowed woman can only do that if they keep the door closed, but Old Man Tang is not a normal man.

"What can the two of them do behind closed doors?"

"You really can't think of it?"

The dealers are still honest and uninformed. In addition, there are old and young people present, so some topics should not be discussed openly.

So the topic about the Tang family and the nanny ended up being dropped.

"Nier, what are your plans for that shop?" Grandpa asked.

After being delayed for such a while, Yuan Ni finally thought of what she wanted to do, "Buy some bookshelves, buy some little people's books, and then rent some little people's books."

The fourth uncle loves to read short stories, and he was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, this is a good idea."

The little book is a comic book. The pages are small and the plot is condensed. A small book can tell a complete story, so it is very popular with adults and children.

Those who can read can read the characters, those who can’t read can read the pictures, and just watch the excitement. Anyway, there is something to read.

In the past few years, many works have been banned, and spiritual life has been in a state of desolation. However, the short book meets the standards of art for the people, but it has become popular.

Thinking about those rainy nights and cat-winter days, it would be a supreme enjoyment to have a stack of Little People books at hand, eat melon seeds and read a book.

Unfortunately, villain books are not cheap. A small book costs several cents. If it is a series of books like The Female General of the Yang Family, a set will cost several yuan.

If you spend several dollars to buy a book about little people, you will be done with it after reading it. No one will read it over and over again, so few people buy the book.

If you can rent and read the novel, there must be a market for it.

Everyone talked to each other, discussing the pros and cons, and finally thought this method was feasible.

"Don't talk about kids, even old ladies like me are willing to read it. As long as the price is reasonable, there will definitely be a lot of people renting books." Grandma said cheerfully.

"Let's differentiate the pricing. Older books will cost [-] cents per book, and new books will cost [-] cents per book. How about that?" Yuan Ni suggested.

"It works. The price is reasonable and the kids have money. They will definitely rush to see it."

Children in the city all have pocket money. Although it is not much, they always have a few cents. Children from wealthy families even have a few yuan.

If they don't read the little book, the money will be used by the children to buy snacks and firecrackers. It is better to read the book and learn a few more words.

Mao Dan nodded repeatedly, "I have fifty cents, and I can read twenty villain books."

Hearing a bang sound, the fourth uncle stretched out his hand and flicked Mao Dan's forehead, "Study hard to read children's books, you know?"

The children nodded hurriedly. Life in the city is good. Not only can they watch TV, but they can also read novels in the future. It's great.

The whole family voted with a show of hands and finally passed the decision to open a Little Man Bookstore.

Gu Chao even drew all the shelves needed for the Little Man Bookstore, "Use this kind of shelf to store the Little Man books. Each book occupies one space, and a glass cabinet door is made outside, so that it does not affect the reading of the book titles."

Grandpa took the drawing and said, "Okay, this is easy to do."

But who is going to keep an eye on the business of Little Man Bookstore?

"I can't do it. I don't know a word. I can't register. It's a pity. If I had known, I would go to the literacy class and learn more words." Grandma thought this was a good job, but it was a pity that she couldn't do it.

The fourth aunt didn't say anything. She thought this job was good, but it didn't make as much money as collecting rags.

She was young and strong, so there was no need to stay in the store. She had to run around outside more so that she could save some money for Mao Dan Gou Dan.

"Nier, what do you think of grandpa? Can you keep an eye on the Little Man Bookstore for you?" Grandpa thought for a while and spoke seriously.

My grandfather is a carpenter. He used to help others make furniture. He needed to do calculations and record dimensions, so he knew a few words quite well. In addition, he had a good temper and patience, so he was fully qualified to be the shopkeeper of a bookstore.

"Okay, grandpa, help me look after the store. I can't let you look at it in vain. I'll give you 30 yuan a month, right?"

"What are you talking about? We are our own children, how can I still make money from you? It's still a day for me to sit at the door and pick beans, and it's still a day for me to sit in the bookstore.

If you tell me to give me money again, I will be in a hurry with you. "Grandpa had a serious face, as if he was really angry.

"That's right, Ni'er, if you say you want to give us money, that's too unorthodox. We all eat with you and live in your house. If we settle the account, we have to give you money."

Grandma said, patting Yuanni's little hand lovingly, blaming her family for being incompetent and letting a little girl worry about everything.

Seeing her grandma and grandpa's insistence, Yuan Nier had no choice but to say, "That's fine, I'll listen to you."

For Yuan Ni, the little money earned by Little Man Bookstore is not even a drizzle. Even if the master doesn’t want it, she can just spend the money on him. How will he refuse?

After planning the two stores, it was getting late, so everyone took a rest.

The next day, the fourth uncle and grandpa took action according to the plan and began to work hard to clean up the new storefront.

The fourth aunt also said that when she encounters a suitable little book, she will keep it in preparation for opening a bookstore.

Yuan Ni went to school early. As luck would have it, she had a test today, and the test was on ethnic history. Professor Jin was in charge of teaching this subject.

The grievances between Yuanni and Professor Jin cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. She was also afraid that Professor Jin would take advantage of the exam to put on her shoes, so she passed there early...
