By four or five o'clock, there were not many people coming to buy goods. Zeng Minfang and the others helped clean up, while Ji Luo sorted out sales and inventory.

"Brother Chen, He Jie, Jiaojiao, I'll leave the rest to you. Lock the shop door after closing time. You should also pay more attention to safety when you go out for a walk and play at night."

Ji Luo and the other sisters-in-law hurried back to the military family home on the commuter train, handed over the matter to them, and everyone left in a hurry with the children.

When they got home, the men had all returned from work and were cooking dinner at home for the first time.

"Oh, I finally get to eat the food cooked by my Lao Wang."

Sister-in-law Ding ran home with a smile. As soon as she rushed to the door, Captain Wang came out and said, "Why are you back so late?"

"The store opened today, and business was booming. We were busy until three o'clock before we had a pancake to fill our stomachs, and we didn't rest until five o'clock."

Sister-in-law Ding came into the house as she said that. She didn't dislike him when she saw him stewing vegetables in a pot. She called to her children: "Da Ya, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Yong, hurry up and fill up the rice."

Tonight, all the meals were cooked by men, and even Xu Guanglei cooked and ate them himself. Now a swarm of bees came out with bowls and chopsticks, and a dark group of people gathered together to talk about the opening of the store.

"A fifth of the goods were sold today."

Ji Luo reported the results with a smile. Today's sales were beyond her expectations. She smiled with crooked eyes and said, "As expected of a provincial capital, there are many rich people here, and lesbians buy things readily and generously."

"There are some reluctances, but sister Ji Luo and her classmate Li Jiaojiao are sweet-mouthed and good at introducing things. When selling those mandarin duck quilts, they also read poems and blessings to the young girls and told them the meaning of the patterns. They listened. I was completely moved, and even though I was reluctant to part with it, I still paid for it.”

"Oh, I still need to study. When you see the intellectuals selling goods, they all speak in a polite manner. When I listen to them, I want to buy ten or eight sets to keep."

"Also, they greet people with smiles when selling goods. They don't look at people with their nostrils like the salespersons in state-owned store supply and marketing cooperatives. Regardless of whether the customers come in to buy or not, they receive them with a smile and send them away politely. The customers take them with them. Each of the children who come here is given a candy, which makes the guests who come in very happy.”

"..."

The one who spoke was Wang Meihua. She had a loud voice and praised her loudly, which made Ji Luo feel embarrassed.

The business affairs were left to the lesbians, and the men did not interfere. They just asked about the opening situation. When they saw that the business was much better than expected, they were relieved and did not ask any more questions.

The army has three regiments stationed here and is divided into three family homes. They jointly invest and make money in a low-key manner. They all have a tacit understanding and do not publicize it, so the other two family homes are not aware of it.

In the next week, business in the store was very good, because as the second half of the year approached, there were so many people preparing for wedding dowries, and the red wedding quilt was sold out within a week.

Ji Luo called Factory Director Xu to place an order one day in advance, and once again received 5,000 yuan of goods. The last payment was settled with him in time, and the money was remitted through the post office.

The quilt factory has been doing well recently, and orders are coming in one after another. Director Xu is so happy every day that she wants to add more goods, so he gives her priority for delivery without saying a word, and even asks her on the phone to help design new styles. drawing.

Woolen yarns also sell very well, especially those in bright colors such as red, yellow, blue, green, pink, and purple, which are very popular among young lesbians. Almost every customer who enters the store buys one, and many old customers bring relatives and friends with them. .

Ji Luo is also very considerate in receiving customers. Melon seeds, peanuts, broad beans, etc. are placed on the table in turn. As soon as the customers come in, they immediately pour water and make tea. They patiently accompany them to choose goods, and also accompany them to gossip about home affairs, and learn about the provincial capital from the locals. Living habits, etc.

"Fall down."

Zhou Rongyan has been meeting at the S committee office for the past two days. He picks her up from get off work after the meeting every day. When he came here today, he brought everyone fried sesame ball skewers.

Seeing him buying delicious food, Ji Luo smiled and waved to him, "Bring me a bunch quickly, I'm hungry."

Zhou Rongyan gave her two bunches and one bunch for each of the others. Seeing her counting sales data, he asked, "Have the goods from the quilt factory been delivered?"

"It was delivered in the morning. Brother Chen and He Jie are responsible for moving the goods today. They are very tired."

The goods from the quilt factory were delivered to the train station. The store bought a tricycle, and the two gay men were responsible for hauling the goods. The quantity of goods sent was relatively large, and it took the two of them a day of work to get all the goods back.

Transporting goods by tricycle is slow and laborious. Zhou Rongyan gave them advice, "There are tractors delivering goods near the train station. You should call a tractor master to deliver them."

"These tractor masters are very skilled. Seeing that we have a lot of goods, they are asking for prices."

Last time, Chen Zhifeng and the others called for tractor delivery. This time they asked for three times the price, deliberately trying to rip off the out-of-towners, so the two of them preferred to work harder on their own and ride a tricycle to deliver the goods.

"I'll find an acquaintance for you to haul the goods. Next time the quantity is large, call him. If the quantity is small, just use a tricycle to transport it yourself." After Zhou Rongyan finished speaking, he went to borrow a phone nearby.

Zhou Rongyan contacted his former comrade Sun Tai. After Sun Tai retired from the army, he was originally scheduled to work in a factory. He couldn't get along with his boss, so he later took care of the job and bought a second-hand tractor to haul goods. Comrades often take care of his business.

Sun Tai received his call and quickly came over on his bicycle, talked to Ji Luo, left his contact information, and then dragged the couple to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.

Because I had dinner with Sun Tai, I went back a little late, and it was already dark when I got home.

Zhou Rongyan dropped Ji Luo off at his door and drove to the army office building. He still had some work to deal with.

"Auntie, you are back."

As soon as Ji Luo put his backpack in the bedroom, Peng Kang's kid came running to visit, holding a small wooden gun in his hand.

"Kangzi, have you eaten?" Ji Luo asked him.

"Ate."

Zeng Minfang followed closely behind, holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, specially brought to Ji Luo, "Ji Luo, I cooked eight-treasure porridge today and left a bowl for you. It's still warm. It's just right to drink now."

"Sister-in-law, thank you." Ji Luo smiled and accepted, and also called to their mother and son: "Sit down."

Zeng Minfang took her son and sat down at the table to prevent him from running around. She pointed to the direction to the left and told her in a low voice: "Deputy Captain Xu's fiancée is here. She didn't call in advance. She came here suddenly and ended up being there." I don’t see Deputy Commander Xu here, so I’ve been sulking all afternoon.”

Ji Luo raised his eyebrows and asked quickly, "Is Deputy Commander Xu back now?"

"Be back half an hour earlier than you."

Zeng Minfang came to her side and said to her in a very low voice: "Deputy Commander Xu's fiancée has a bad personality. She didn't notify her before she came. We don't have the key to Deputy Commander Xu's house, so we invited her to rest and sit at home. She ignored me and refused to enter any house. She stood at the door for more than two hours with a straight face."

"When Deputy Captain Xu came back, he saw her coming and asked her why she didn't call in advance so that he could arrange a time to pick her up. What do you think she said in reply?"
