Chapter 12
Xia Zhimin is very grateful, after expressing his sincere thanks and appreciation, and then asked a few questions about the procedures, some guests came to the store, Xia Zhimin smoothly excused himself, and Zhou Quangui told Xia Zhimin that he could come back to find him when he had problems setting up the store.
“This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. I can guarantee that I won’t disclose it to anyone, but there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. If someone with malicious intent finds out and intercepts this, it will be bad for you.”
This is also the problem that Xia Zhimin is worried about, Zhou Quangui has sincerely meant well for him when he reminds himself of these words.
Returning from the county town to the village of Shuiliu it was already late in the evening, and after returning the bike on the way back home.
Xia He and the others gathered around Xia Lin to look at the clothes they bought, but Li Xiuqin was most concerned about starting their own store.
As soon as they heard her ask, Xia He and Xia Wen didn’t bother to look at the clothes and hurriedly walked over to listen.
“Listening what Zhou san was suggesting, it’s quite easy to open a small store, he is willing to help us to solve the problem of purchasing the products, and also send a set of shelves that his store phased out, the most important thing now is the village chief’s side, as well as the money for the purchasing of supplies has to be readied up.”
Zhou Quangui has given him a calculation, the initial purchase of supplies to spend at least 4-500, including cigarettes, alcohol and so on.
The good thing is that these things have a long shelf life, even if they can’t be sold, as long as they are properly stored, they can be put away for a year and a half.
If the situation is really bad and unable to continue their sales, Zhou Quangui is responsible for the acquisition at a low price, so that they will not lose too much money.
“This Zhou san is so thoughtful!”
No wonder his business could make it to the county, who doesn’t love to deal with people who have a sincere heart?
“How true, tomorrow I’ll look for the village chief to talk about this, let’s think of a way to open the store as soon as possible.”
Originally, they thought it would cost a lot of money to open the store, but now with Zhou Quangui’s help, the cost has been reduced by a lot.
Hundreds of yuan, even if the family can’t get it for the time being, they will have to put it together by selling grain.
Li Xiuqin agreed with her husband’s plan, but she was not thinking about selling grain.
Instead, she had a pair of gold earrings that her husband had given her when she turned thirty.
She could take it to a pawn, and redeem it later when she had the money.
“Great, our family is really going to open a store.”
All four sisters were very delighted, and Xia Lin even told her eldest sister and fourth sister about Zhou Quangui’s store.
There were also the two bottles of sodas that they didn’t drink at the store at the time and brought back with them.
“Let’s share them together, mom and dad drink them too.”
Xia Wen’s eyes glistened as she looked at the soda bottles, she hadn’t drank a soda when she was growing up, she had only heard her classmates mention them
It tastes like traditional Chinese medicine and spits bubbles in one’s mouth.
Xia Zhimin waved his hand and said he doesn’t want to drink it, and smiled and said to Li Xiuqin
“This small can costs three dollars, which is more expensive than noodles.”
A big bowl of vegetarian noodles is only one dollar and fifty cents, and according to Zhou Quangui, this stuff is especially popular with city kids!
One day can sell dozens of cans, in addition to lamenting the city people have money there is not much else to think about.
Li Xiuqin gasped and marveled in admiration, and also said that she personally doesn’t want to drink it, so expensive things are naturally left for the children to drink.
Xia Wen went to the kitchen and took six small bowls, divided the two cans of soda, brown soda bubbles on the walls of the bowl, and took a sip of liquid.
Sweet, and an indescribable feeling, in any case, after having drunk it, she wanted to drink it again.
Xia Zhimin and Li Xiuqin saw that their daughters were happy with their drinks, so they handed over their own bowls.
Xia Qing and Xia He didn’t ask for it, and gave the rest to Xia Lin and Xia Wen.
It’s normal of Xia He as the eldest sister to yield to her younger sister, but as the third oldest, Xia Qing didn’t even want to take it.
However, everybody can’t help but feel strange, and Xia Qing explained with a smile.
“I don’t really like the flavor, if you guys like it, when the family’s business gets better in the future, you can also buy a few more sodas on sale.”
Anything that seems expensive at this time will be nothing in a few years.
At that time, with the price of goods rising, the Happy Family Soda, which one would not be willing to spend money on at this time, became the cheapest thing instead.
Xia Zhimin and Li Xiuqin was going to sell grain and one was going to pawn their jewelry.
In the end, both of these plans didn’t pan out, because Li Guofu was discharged from the hospital.
Li Xiuqin brought her husband and children back to visit her mother’s home, and the two of them hugged and cried because of a series of trials and tribulations in their lives.
“Xiuqin, I heard Guanghai talk about you, you don’t know how hard it is in my heart, I wondered what our family has caused, for how could it be so unsettling.”
“Sister-in-law, it’s fine, you see my big brother and I have had an accident, there will be a blessing in the future if we don’t die in a great disaster, we will surely be able to have a smooth and peaceful life in the future.”
“Yes, your brother was lucky to wake up and not become vegetative, now not only have he woken up, but he can also walk on crutches for two steps, I am content, sincerely.”
Li Guofu sat in the chair and listened to the conversation. For three days, the chair was padded with a layer of cotton cushions!
This is also the aftermath of the fall, just like arthritis rheumatism, the physique has deteriorated.
Different from the crowd’s sighs, Li Guofu himself is quite open-minded, and underwent a disability appraisal before being discharged from the hospital.
He lost his ability to work and cannot take care of himself. The construction company was ordered to pay 20,000 yuan, plus the remaining 10,000 yuan from before, which is about 30,000 yuan
Li Guofu said, “I can now move on my own, and not paralyzed in bed, suffering a little bit of 30,000 dollars is worth it, even if I’m at the construction site every day to move bricks it will take ten years to earn that kind of amount, right?”
Yang Xiangzhi sighed and said to Li Xiuqin, “Look, he’s just like this, others are anxious about him but he’s good, he’s not anxious at all.”
Li Xiuqin patted her sister-in-law’s hand and comforted her, “Sister-in-law, my brother is just enjoying himself in spite of his difficulties, what can he do if he doesn’t think so.”
Li Guofu nodded, “Your sister-in-law just can’t help it, I always comfort her, it’s okay, the doctor said, if I insist on activities in the future, the situation may change for the better, it’s no use shedding tears every day, life has to be lived, right?”
He also mentioned to Xia Zhimin, he wanted to push the family’s house to rebuild, “Guanghai should also marry a girl, taking advantage of the money in hand, first to build the house, the money I also reserved, later let your sister-in-law to bring it to you, this time, thank you, all for me ah, making you follow the sufferings.”
He knew that when his sister drank the pesticide, it was more difficult than if he had been injured himself, and this is what is called a relative, connected by blood, and sharing the pain and suffering.
