The control group dressed as the heroine

When Xue Miaomiao was thinking about how to explain to her parents, how to please them and keep them from getting angry.At the bus stop sign outside the small downtown on the other side, Zhou Xiaoai waited for Big Brother Zhou who had just got off work.

"Why did you come here suddenly today? Aren't you going to set up a stall?" Brother Zhou felt a little surprised and looked at Zhou Xiaoai with a puzzled expression.

"Come with me!" Zhou Xiaoai didn't say much, she pulled him back home quickly.

After returning home, she didn't give Brother Zhou time to eat, so she urged Brother Zhou to move the cardboard box she brought back today.

"You child, you let your brother eat first, and then we can talk about it after eating!" Zhou's mother said immediately when she saw the two came back in a hurry and was about to leave in the middle of cooking.

"Mom, you eat first when Dad comes back. My brother and I are going out to eat today." Zhou Xiaoai didn't explain too much, she urged Brother Zhou, and the two quickly moved the things to the downtown.

"What's inside? It's so heavy!" Brother Zhou shook Le Hong's palm when the thing landed on the ground.

"Wait first, I'll be back soon!" Zhou Xiaoai didn't answer, she hurried to the vegetable market behind, said hello to Zhou's father, and then took a few cardboard boxes that Zhou's father vacated The son returned to the small market.

"Are you going to sell bags today?" Brother Zhou had already unpacked the carton at this time, looking at the whole box of neatly arranged small satchels, he looked curious.

"Yes, I will sell this for the rest of the days, you have to help me." Zhou Xiaoai nodded at Brother Zhou, and immediately placed the cardboard boxes.Then he took out a piece of green velvet from his backpack and spread it on the cardboard box, and took out two small desk lamps from it.

While she was doing this, Brother Zhou kept watching.It feels like her backpack is like a treasure chest recently. It has everything and can take out everything.

"Brother, don't be stunned, take out the bag quickly."

Seeing him in a daze, Zhou Xiaoai reminded him unceremoniously.Brother Zhou came back to his senses and immediately helped, taking out the bags one by one from the cardboard box.

"How do you sell these?" Zhou Xiaonian asked while taking out the things.

"All the prices are the same. You don't need to bargain for a price of [-]. You can choose whatever you want." Zhou Xiaoai, who has been a small peddler for more than ten days, said briskly, then put the bags neatly, and finally gave them to two small vendors. The desk lamp is in place.

"It costs fifty for such a thing, will anyone want it?"

Brother Zhou didn't know anything about women, so when he asked questions, Zhou Xiaoai's business had already started.

"Don't miss it when you pass by. Brand-name bags, [-]% of the audience, [-]% of the audience, only [-]%!" The small horn she got from no one knows where it was kept ringing, and the moment the horn sounded, someone was caught attract.

Brother Zhou thought the price was too high, and thought it would be difficult to sell this item.But the women and girls who visit the night market don't seem to think that this item is expensive at all. As long as they are sure that all of them cost [-], they will immediately stop and look at it.

Occasionally, when you encounter someone who wants to bargain, you only need to complain as Xiaoai taught before.Talking about such a good bag does not make money at all, so everyone gave it readily.

"Brother, you turn on the light, let this sister take a good look at the bag and pick it out." After the sky darkened a little, even though there were headlights in the downtown area, Zhou Xiaoai still asked Brother Zhou to bring the lights they brought opened.

When the two small lights are on, the bag under the lights seems to look even better.Looking at the little girl who kept selling things and kept collecting money.For the first time, Zhou Xiaonian had a different feeling about making money.

A box of small satchels, the two sold four-fifths in one night.After finally packing the remaining [-] or so bags into the big plastic bag he bought, Zhou Xiaonian's expression was still blank.

The two closed the stall on time at nine o'clock, and when they were finally sitting at the small barbecue stall by the roadside for dinner, Zhou Xiaonian thought of asking about the cost.

I ordered two cans of beer for Brother Zhou who had worked hard all night, and Zhou Xiaoai opened one and put it in front of Brother Zhou.After hesitating for a while, she opened the remaining can, and then replied while drinking: "Three prices, 15 yuan, 18 yuan, 20 yuan, I will sell them all for 50 yuan. No matter how you calculate it, every I can earn at least 30 yuan for a single bag. I approved 2400 bags today. Looking at the remaining quantity just now, I sold almost [-] bags today. So, my net income tonight is The profit is [-]. Of course, this is not a net profit, because there are labor costs for the two of us. There are the money for my taxi today, and our meal money, and those two special warm lamps, and my nonsense That nice piece of green velvet and all. But anyway, man, I should have made your month's wages tonight."

Zhou Xiaonian was stunned. His internship salary was [-]. After he got through this period thoroughly, his salary would increase little by little.But among them, the highest earner is only five thousand.But now, he, the little girl who he feels has been playing around all the time, has earned so much in one night.

"Of course, this business will not be so good every day, but before others don't follow suit, I can last here for at least five or six days. But this is just our place, and the flow of people in our small downtown is limited, so business can only be done It’s like this. But in our city, besides this downtown, there are three small downtowns like this. We can go to that place again to inquire about it, and then try again.”

"this--"

"We sell this these days. When the weather gets colder, we can actually approve some gloves, socks and so on. Of course, other people are selling these things, and the profit margin may not be big. Then sell something that no one else has. , such as the kind of hand warmer that can be plugged in in winter and so on. And brother, I ran around recently and found a strange place, that is, there are few shops near some factories that are built a little bit. People in the factory must buy lunch boxes as soon as they enter the factory. Also, as long as they are human, they must use plugboards and washbasins. If you can wholesale some of the things they often use, then put them in their must-haves Land. Of course, you must not be too close to them, and you must prevent them from being troubled, and you must also guard against urban management and so on. But as long as you bring people and stay near a factory for two or three days before others find out. You can make a lot of money by going there for two or three days. By the way, as soon as September is over, it will gradually get colder here. When the weather gets cold, electric blankets are definitely needed near the factory and the university town And thick bedding. Anyway, as long as you can be diligent, seize this season and seize the opportunity, you will definitely make money. By the way, school will start in a few days, and new students have to buy hot water bottles and slippers What."

Zhou Xiaoai kept on reassuring, she was leaving in ten days, it was impossible to keep doing business.Listening to her non-stop analysis and chatter, Zhou Xiaonian finally came to his senses: "You want me to go into business?"

"Of course!" Seeing that he finally came to his senses, Zhou Xiaoai nodded heavily: "Brother, it's not that I look down on skilled workers, but everyone knows that doing business by yourself is definitely better than working for others. Doing business is a bit hard, and there is a possibility of stockpiling. But our home is not very far from the wholesale market. You can definitely prepare less goods at a time to avoid saving too much. And you can even get them from people you know well Pick up the goods, and when you are familiar with them, you can discuss with them, and exchange the things that cannot be bought. And in the early stage, you should not invest too much, just like me, my initial start-up capital is only [-]. But I sell balloons, buy umbrellas, buy puppets, and toss around every day. You see, I have saved a lot. As long as you can spare no effort to sell, you can even hang a small speaker, and you will be able to attract people. Then you Just give it a try and see if you are suitable for business. Even if you try it in the end and find that it really doesn’t work, you can go out and find a job again. Anyway, you are still so young, and it will take a few months or even a year or so to delay. It's not a problem. Even if you don't bother with this, brother, do you know what online selling is? As long as you promote online every day, you can actually open a store at home."

Zhou Xiaoai kept talking and talking, looking at her mouth that kept moving.After a long time, Zhou Xiaonian couldn't help lowering his head and laughing: "Okay, I see, can I try it? How did your little head grow, and how do you know so much?"

"It's all forced!" Zhou Xiaoai replied in her heart, but with a relaxed expression on her face, she said carelessly: "This kind of thing is very easy, look at how many young people do it at night. Business, in fact, you can see whether the business is profitable or not. No one will work hard for nothing these days, no matter what they say, as long as he is still doing it, it means that it is profitable. If you can make money, of course I want Amway you, who told you to be my brother, I still pointed at you to earn my tuition! And brother, you have been working with me for so many days. You didn’t realize that you are actually With a little business talent, do you actually like to bargain with people to do business?"

"Do I have it?" Hearing Zhou Xiaoai's words, Brother Zhou touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and smirked.

"Yes, it's absolutely true!" Zhou Xiaoai nodded, seeing him like this, she felt relieved.

The Zhou family has chosen the difficult business of grocery shopping from the very beginning, and has never tried to change it.But if one day Brother Zhou's business makes money, Zhou Xiaoai doesn't believe that Zhou's mother and Zhou's father will not be tempted and will not try to change it.

Once the Zhou family's business changes, the upside-down routine of Zhou's father and mother Zhou can be slowly changed.In this way, it is possible to drag Zhou's father to play mahjong less, so that Zhou's mother can sleep more normally.

Mother Zhou has a share in the original owner's wish.If you want her to be happy in her old age, then she can't be so tired all the time.Therefore, it is necessary to change her working status.She will be leaving in a few days. Before going to meet Guo Ying and Zhang Yifan, Zhou Xiaoai must settle down with Zhou's mother who is at home.

So let Brother Zhou start a business, and gradually bring all Zhou's family members to work without waking up at two o'clock in the middle of the night. This is what Zhou Xiaoai must do.

Because of Zhou Xiaoai's instigation, Zhou Xiaonian went to the tire shop to resign the next day.He had never passed the internship period, and the tire shop did not sign any written contract with him.In addition, he was the one who came to learn in the tire shop, so he was a kind of dispensable role.The boss persuaded him a few words, and seeing that he insisted on leaving, he ended up paying his wages and told him to leave quickly.Of course, when the salary was paid, brother Zhou's money, like the people who left the job before, was deducted by the boss by every means.

"It's simply a profiteer!" Brother Zhou felt a little bitter after receiving his salary.He couldn't figure out when he broke something in the store and needed to pay for it.So after meeting Zhou Xiaoai outside, he kept talking.

"Ann, there are quite a lot of such things outside. People can let you leave on the same day, and the salary will be paid on the same day. There are many cases where the boss turns his face and is ruthless as soon as the employee leaves, and delays in paying wages. You’re not bad at all. It’s like working outside, you can find a lot of top quality when you experience more.”

Zhou Xiaoai comforted him meaningfully, and then took Brother Zhou to the wholesale market.

She led Brother Zhou around the wholesale market, telling him how to pick up the goods and how to bring them back.How to shop around, how to let the people at the stalls, you must leave the phone number and information of the stalls when you wholesale things.

In the afternoon, after the two of them picked up two new bags, Zhou Xiaoai took Brother Zhou to the small downtown again.

Brother Zhou is already very familiar with the situation here.Moreover, he has lived here since he was a child, and he feels relaxed once he arrives here.When the management office in the busy city came to collect the booth fee, the two even gave more money and rented the land for two full months.

The two of them have been tossing around, busy in and out every day.The day before Zhou Xiaoai was about to leave, Zhou Xiaoai asked Brother Zhou to take care of Zhou's mother's vegetable stall, and she couldn't help but pull Zhou's mother away from the small vegetable market that had trapped her for more than ten years.

"You kid, your elder brother doesn't know how to sell vegetables, what if you lose money? And you dragged me out, what are you going to do?"

Being pulled forward by her daughter, Zhou's mother thought about the vegetable stall at home and her son who was unfamiliar with everything.As I walked, my heart became more and more uneasy, and my pace became slower and slower, and finally I didn't leave at all.

"Mom, I'm leaving tomorrow, can't you stay with me? I want to have my hair done, I want to buy a suitcase that I can pull on the road, and I want to buy a slightly better coat that I can wear to school. , can't you stay with me?"

Seeing her stop suddenly, Zhou Xiaoai couldn't help but make a loud noise.After a moment, Zhou's mother softened her heart, and finally ran with Zhou Xiaoai.

Because it's still early, the sellers may not be open yet.So the two went to the barber shop first. In a moderate-grade barber shop, Zhou's mother, who originally accompanied Zhou Xiaoai to get her hair done, was there.In the end, under the flickering of Zhou Xiaoai and the barber, Zhou's mother actually started doing hair with Zhou Xiaoai.

"This, this—" I have always been frugal, even if I want to cut my hair, I go to the small store behind the vegetable market to get it cut by Zhou's mother.When the hair stylist put plaster on her hair, she realized it and regretted it a bit.

"Mom, don't move, listen to the hair stylist obediently. Everything is smeared, you can't regret it. Don't worry, the money is not expensive, I have enough. You close your eyes, take a good rest, and enjoy it, okay?" ?" Seeing her expression, Zhou Xiaoai, who was sitting next to her, immediately comforted her.

Zhou's mother sat still, because she knew that she could no longer regret it, because of her daughter's last sentence.She really relaxed her body, and slowly let the young guy here toss her hair.

This is the first time she has come to this kind of shop that obviously looks expensive after living for more than 40 years.This was the first time she had been lying in such a place in broad daylight since she got married.This was her first time at nine o'clock in the morning, her first real break.

Looking sideways at her daughter smiling at herself, Zhou's mother suddenly understood her daughter's thoughts, and suddenly understood why she must bring her here to accompany her to cut her hair.Feeling sore for a moment, when she was taken by the barber to wash her hair, Zhou's mother quickly lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes while others were not paying attention.

On this day, Mother Zhou cut her hair short for the first time.My hair was dyed for the first time, and my eyebrows were trimmed for the first time.

Later, the two went to the underground shopping mall in the city center to buy clothes. The clothes here are not particularly high-end.But Zhou's mother didn't know that all her clothes were bought from night market stalls.She is usually very busy, and she has never shopped in the underground street to buy clothes in broad daylight.

The two each picked out two pieces of clothes with a unit price of less than 100 yuan, and immediately changed into them at the clothing store.Later, they each bought another pair of shoes. Zhou Xiaoai still bought sneakers, and Zhou's mother still bought flat leather shoes.Both of them bought discounted shoes, which were not expensive.But because the shoes were bought in the best shoe store in the city, they were of a so-called brand. After putting on the shoes, Mother Zhou felt energetic even for walking.

"Mom, it's almost one o'clock, let's go have lunch!"

Finally, Zhou Xiaoai took Zhou's mother to a store that looked relatively clean to have lunch, and the two chose a place by the window.

When her daughter went to order food, Zhou's mother turned her head and looked at herself on the glass wall beside her, and was stunned for a while.

Short wine red hair, curved eyebrows, a beautiful coat, and a good look.Zhou's mother looked at herself inside, feeling so strange, as if she didn't even know herself.

"Mom, you are so beautiful!" When Zhou's mother was in a daze, Zhou Xiaoai, who came back from ordering lunch, walked behind her, and finally leaned over and half lay on Zhou's shoulder.

The glass wall reflected their appearance at the moment, a beautiful woman with fashionable short hair, and a beautiful daughter with long straight hair.There are some wrinkles on the old face, but at the moment the face is full of happiness.The young one looked young, but there was a maturity and shrewdness in his eyes that didn't match his age.But no matter what the expressions on the faces of the two of them are at the moment, others only see their appearance.You can see their similarities, and you can know their obvious mother-daughter relationship.

With a sudden soreness in her heart, Yang Xiaohui truly understood for the first time that the child beside her was born in October of her pregnancy.For the first time, she truly understood who in the whole family was the one who loved her the most.

"Mom, don't worry, this is just the beginning. My brother and I will work hard to make money in the future. When we make money, I will let you enjoy the best. When I make more money, you won't have to work so hard. Then I'll take you with me, and we'll learn how others do manicures every day, and don't do anything every day, do you think it's okay?"

Afraid of crushing her, Zhou Xiaoai finally returned to her position.Mother Zhou laughed for a long time listening to her words.After laughing enough, she suddenly reached out and touched the little hair on Xiao Ai's head across the table, and then said softly and inaudibly: "Mom knows, you just need to have a heart. Mom is very happy today, so Will suffice."

Zhou Xiaoai lowered her head and let her touch her, looking at Mother Zhou whose eyes were full of tenderness.Zhou Xiaoai felt unbelievable in her heart, and at the same time she seemed to understand why the original owner could not forget this mother who was better for her halfway.Because blood relationship is really an incredible thing, just a light touch on the head, just a loving and gentle look in the eyes.At this moment, Zhou Xiaoai actually felt the taste of happiness, and could feel a feeling of being loved.
