I collect junk in the chronology

During the five or six months since Lu Weidong left, the old Lu family in Beijing has also undergone some changes, either big or small.

Lu Jianjun and Li Lihong previously opened a small shop selling agricultural products under the guidance and encouragement of Lu Weidong. Since the opening, the business has been booming. After a few months, the cost has already been paid back. The couple decided not to expand the business for the time being. If they don’t know anything, they have to stabilize for a while. They just bought the rented shop.

The business at home is developing well and is on the right track. The more they pass, the more they enjoy. The couple are too busy to take care of their children and devote themselves to the business. Naturally, Lu Minmin and Lu Weihua entrust their sister-in-law Liu Xiuying to take care of them and deliver some things every few days. They all come and go in a hurry.

Liu Xiuying was bored eating melon seeds and watching TV to pass the time, not to mention that the big black bump brought back by her son is quite good, look at the people in it, the acting is very good, vivid, it feels like the next second Like popping out.

"Sister-in-law!" Li Lihong set up her bicycle, walked a few steps forward and opened the door.

"Hey, here we come!" Liu Xiuying put down the melon seeds in her hand, clapped her hands and stood up, responding hastily.

"Don't come out, I just brought some things here, sister-in-law, I put my things here, don't be too busy, I'm leaving." Li Lihong hurriedly said a few words and left before Liu Xiuying greeted her.

Liu Xiuying: "..." The second child's family is really a couple. She is too embarrassed to pick up things that are delivered every three days. When the child grows up, she doesn't need to worry about herself, so she just packs it up.

"squeak"

The old man and the old lady walked in slowly, Hu Simei glanced at her and said, "The second family is here again."

Looking at the pile of things on the table, Liu Xiuying said distressedly: "Isn't it? I haven't finished eating what I delivered last time, so I delivered it again." There is no need to buy anything at home and it has been contracted.

Lu Dazhu sat on the sofa, and Liu Xiuying quickly got two glasses of water, and carried the things to the kitchen to put them away.

"By the way, parents, remember to eat the nutritious food that your grandson specially found for you. Dong Zi said that this food should not be put away." Liu Xiuying bent down to put something in the cupboard and told her.

"...That food doesn't taste good." Hu Simei muttered in a low voice, Hu Dazhu didn't express his opinion but had the same expression as Hu Simei.

But he still replied: "Understood." Forget it, if they don't eat their grandson, they will be nagging unhappy when they come back.

Lu Jianjun and his wife, who were so busy at night, came to have dinner together. Lu Jianguo, who had not seen Lu Jianjun and his wife for a long time, was taken aback at first glance, "Why have you lost so much weight!"

Holding the bowl, Lu Jianguo saw that his younger brother had wolfed down two bowls of rice. He was a little angry and couldn't help but said, "You can't ignore your health even if you make money. It's only been so long, you two are almost skinny! Money is earned." If you can’t finish it, go home more to spend time with your children and take care of your body.”

Lu Jianjun swallowed his meal and let out a long sigh of satisfaction, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to rest, it's just that I'm too busy to take care of it."

Lu Dazhu, who always ignored them and let them break in by himself, rarely said: "If you are too busy, hire a few people." Although he is a native farmer, he often shows his grandson the store and knows how to manage it.

This idea was unanimously approved, and Lu Jianguo quickly persuaded Lu Jianjun and his wife, "Your store also makes a lot of money, and it doesn't cost much to hire someone. Besides, isn't making money just for a better life? Look at you, your life is not as good as before."

Lu Jianjun was taken aback for a moment, and his heart was moved after careful consideration. The couple looked at each other, and Lu Jianjun nodded: "Okay! I'll find someone when I get back." After speaking, he was also relieved. Can't stop.

As soon as the recruitment news was released, someone applied for the job immediately, and Lu Jianjun and his wife finally selected two people after screening.

After Li Lihong took it for two days, she was already able to do it by herself, and then she freed herself, rubbing her arms and exhaling, she was exhausted these days.

You can't keep the children in your brother's house all the time. Now you can handle business easily by yourself. The couple discussed it. Li Lihong can take care of the children at home and make clothes at home at the same time. After all, she really likes it.

However, Li Lihong stared at him, and Lu Jianjun, an honest man, smiled naively: "Daughter-in-law, we take care of the money." Li Lihong smiled and gave him another look, and Lu Jianjun took her hand and smiled.

Lu Jianguo stopped by the post office after get off work, and he guessed right that his son's package just arrived today.

"Uncle, I'm going to deliver it to you tomorrow, and you're here." The guy smiled and called out, and hurried forward to help tie the things to the back of the car seat.

"You don't need to be so troublesome. It's a matter of dropping by. When it's done, go and get me away." Lu Jianguo greeted with a smile.

Back home, the old couple was fascinated by watching TV. They glanced at him and turned their heads to continue watching. Lu Fangfang frowned and struggled with homework problems.His daughter-in-law wasn't there, she should have gone out to buy vegetables, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Jianguo sighed and began to unpack the package, took out the things and looked at them, and Liu Xiuying also came back with a vegetable basket.

"Xiu'er, Dongzi has sent something over again. You can pack it up and send it to your hometown. By the way, you can go to see Yugui. I heard from the elder sister that Yugui is almost open now. Go and see, how many bags are there at home?" The milk powder is also brought to Xiao Wotou, the child is deficient in nutrition, so the elder sister cooks an egg for him every day to make up for it."

"Hey, that's fine. It just so happens that Lihong is also at home. I'll ask her to go with me tomorrow." Liu Xiuying replied.

Liu Xiuying didn't ride a bicycle, and took her things. The street called a car to take her, and went to her hometown to divide her things and wait for Li Lihong to pack it up. She sat in the back seat and Li Lihong rode her bicycle to the eldest sister's house.

Lu Xiulan opened a small shop. There is no one in the shop right now. She was feeding her grandson with her arms in her arms. When she saw the two coming, she quickly got up and greeted her: "Why are you two here? Come in and rest quickly, Yugui, your two aunts Hurry up and say hello."

Cui Yugui heard her mother call her to put down the needle and thread in her hand and come out to welcome him into the room, "Auntie, drink water." Cui Yugui pursed her lips and called out with a faint smile.

Liu Xiuying observed carefully, and she really didn't have the gloomy and dejected look before. It seemed that she had really come out. Liu Xiuying and Li Lihong looked at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, right, for a man who abandoned his wife and son It's not worth dying or living, just come out!

Li Lihong noticed the child's clothes next to her, and with Cui Yugui's consent, she picked it up and looked at it. She couldn't see it, and she was surprised: "Ah! Yugui, your craftsmanship is so good, you can see the animals sewn on it come alive , I haven’t seen this on the market yet, and I liked it for a while and wanted to buy it for my children!” Li Lihong was amazed, and showed it to Liu Xiuying.

Liu Xiuying was also taken aback, raised her hand to touch it, and couldn't help boasting: "This needlework is good!" What do you say about this thing?Reiki!Yes, there is spirit.Some clothes are full of craftsmanship, but this one looks different.Let me say that she is not good at needlework, but my sister-in-law is everyone, and even she praises it, which shows that she is really good.

Lu Xiulan came in with the child in her arms, and was even more happy to hear their boasting. She put the child down and took out other clothes for them to see: "These are all made by Yugui!" Aunt Lu was proud.

Cui Yugui smiled shyly. Li Lihong seemed to be thinking of something, looking thoughtful and absent-minded. Although Liu Xiuying was puzzled, she didn't want to ask more questions.

It wasn't until another two weeks later that she realized what was going on in her mind.

Liu Xiuying stared blankly at Li Lihong and Cui Yugui who came to her house to look for her. Why did she want to make clothes so suddenly?I asked unconsciously as I thought about it.

Li Lihong pursed her lips and smiled, "You know I like to sew and mend clothes by myself. Dongzi also asked me before, but I'm timid. How can I have such great ability by myself? Last time I went to my elder sister's house and saw Yugui made it I was thinking about clothes again." I didn't get along much with Yugui, a niece before, but the two weeks of getting to know each other made Li Lihong admirable. Yugui looked weak and shy, but she had special ideas in her heart and dared to do it. Just a lack of self-confidence.

Li Lihong asked again why she came here, Liu Xiuying thought for a long time and finally didn't agree, with a bitter face, full of resistance: "You know, I can take anything, except this embroidery needle, I'm not in this business material." She knew that her sister-in-law wanted to take her with her, but she really couldn't make it in this area, and going there would be a disservice to her, she still has this self-knowledge.

Sending the two away, Liu Xiuying stood at the door feeling a little uncomfortable and awkward, like two strong women suddenly appearing in the team of housewives, it seemed that she was even less motivated. She stood at the door thinking for a long time, or she would go out and do it herself what?I can't make up my mind after thinking about it.

"Mom, I'm hungry." After finishing her homework, Lu Fangfang leaned out of the window and yelled.

"Make it right away." The big baby girl is the biggest, and Liu Xiuying didn't have time to think about it, so she put the problem behind her and hurriedly cooked for her daughter.

The workshop of Li Lihong and Cui Yugui is currently just the two of them. It is located in the old house of the Lu family. There is already a sewing machine at home. When Lu Jianguo wrote the letter, he told Lu Weidong the news. Lu Weidong called and asked Hu Laosan to send one over. Encourage them to take the first step.

The two are full of passion for entrepreneurship. They go to the shops on the street to scan goods every day, observe the market and fabrics, and when they come back, they discuss the design styles. When everything is ready, they start the work of stepping on the sewing machine every day.

After making dozens of pieces, the two discovered a big problem. They had no market. The two were dumbfounded. They stopped using the sewing machine and started to sell their products. It is more than twice as expensive as it is, and the competitiveness is weak. In a society where wages are generally not very high, there are still a few people who are willing to spend more money. Even if they really like it and don't want to let go, only a few people are willing to buy one.

This suddenly hit the confidence of the two of them, which was too frustrating.

Hu Simei and Lu Dazhu came back to see their grandson and other old friends. Seeing the two of them languidly, Hu Simei called her granddaughter over to ask what was going on.

Li Lihong and Cui Yugui never avoided the children when they talked, and Lu Minmin was a good talker, and she talked about the whole thing from the beginning to the end. , A shop as big as Dongzi's is impossible to see!"

Li Lihong and Cui Yugui's eyes lit up, but then darkened again. Li Lihong smiled wryly: "Mother, this can't always trouble Dongzi. Dongzi gave me the sewing machine at home."

Hu Simei rolled her eyes.

In the evening, Lu Jianguo and his wife came to pick up Hu Simei and told the story. Lu Jianguo looked helplessly at his younger siblings and niece who were a little embarrassed and said, "What's the matter, Dongzi told me earlier that he could sell it in the store. I am very optimistic about your craftsmanship, how about this, tomorrow you take the clothes and go to the store with Xiu'er, let the store manager talk to you, and then go through the normal process and what to do."

After saying this, Li Lihong nodded seriously with a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's do it this way." She felt that her clothes would definitely be fine.

When Li Jun saw the boss and his mother bring people here, although he said what to do strictly according to the process, he still held the idea of ​​giving the request a little more relaxed, but when the two clothes were brought out, Li Jun couldn't help nodding, and they The store has become famous now. It is a famous high-end clothing store. He is going to propose to the boss to open a branch store recently, so he pays special attention to the quality of the products in the store. Although the two items in his hand are not very good because of the fabric problem, they are not good. Also belongs to the upper class.

Li Jun seriously raised some requirements from a professional point of view, "There is nothing to say about the craftsmanship of these two clothes, but the store sells high-end products. If possible, I hope the fabrics are the best." Seeing Li Lihong and their faces Li Jun smiled and said, "There is no shortage of rich customers in our shop, so we don't have to worry about not being able to sell, so you just do it!" He said proudly and proudly.

Li Jun signed the contract according to the procedure to accept all these batches, and at the same time placed another order, until they ran out of funds and paid half of the fee in advance.

Walking out of the shop, Li Lihong almost couldn't help jumping up, and she and Yugui took Liu Xiuying out to have a big meal to celebrate the opening of their business!

Gradually, the small workshop of two people gradually increased to four, six, or eight people, and the location was moved from the old Lu family house to a rented factory on the outskirts of the city. The business was introduced to many big customers under the instruction of Lu Weidong to Li Jun. , Slowly open up the market.

The end of the year was approaching and when Lu Weidong returned home, he saw his aunt and cousin staring at him again.

...Is this a different person?

Her little aunt looks like a more successful lady, and that confident and beautiful girl is his cousin who dare not step out of the door?

Lu Weidong was pleasantly surprised and happy.

When I got home, I was naturally pulled by Simei Hu and yelled "Good grandson, good grandson". I miss her so much after not seeing her for such a long time.

It is rare for Lu Weidong in his 20s to enjoy the meticulous care that stretches out his hands and opens his mouth. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to run away.

The old lady and the old man naturally ate here for New Year's Eve dinner in the city. There were so many people, they moved the sofa at home and brought in a very large round table that can be rotated. The tea factory was mentioned on the table. Lu Dazhu looked at his grandson and asked: " How is the tea factory you run?"

Lu Weidong smiled wryly in his heart. Before he was a layman watching the fun, he felt it was quite simple, but it was not so simple until the actual operation. He has not taken the first step yet, but can this be said, of course not, it will only be said Let them worry.

"It's okay." Lu Weidong fooled.

"Ahem" Lu Weidong cleared his throat twice, "Well, I have to go back after staying in Beijing for two days, Dali is there to help me look after me, I can't let go yet."

Hu Simei and Liu Xiuying were naturally unhappy, but Lu Dazhu said first: "Go at ease." Now, those who have objections are reluctant to speak up.

Liu Wei and Liu Qiang had already moved out of the Lu family after quitting their jobs and saying that they planned to open a restaurant by themselves. Now they just let their second uncle and aunt live.

Lu Weidong came out of the shower and saw his mother sitting in the living room frowning, obviously worried, and sat over: "What are you thinking?"

Seeing her son, Liu Xiuying sighed directly, wrinkled her face expectantly and asked a little embarrassedly: "...well, son, tell me, what should I do if my mother goes out to work? ah?"
