Chapter 31: the change of the old man

 

Yesterday, Wang Licheng and Xiao Hongyan held a drink and let him and Mazi take a long vacation. He felt a little uncomfortable, and went to Tianjia Village to find Widow Ma.

Speaking of which, Chen Derong's relationship with Widow Ma is also related to Wang Licheng. Before the sales of sanitary napkins were not good, he was anxious and thought of going to the countryside to sell them. In this way he sold to the horse widow’s shop.

Widow Ma is in her thirties, and she married Tianjia Village from the next city ten years ago. After she got married, she learned from her mother-in-law's sister-in-law and opened a small shop in the village, selling soy sauce, salt and sugar.

She married a unique family of hunters, hunters had no family, and he was the only one left in the family.

When Orion was 35 years old, ten years ago, he went to sell prey in Linshi and met Widow Ma's father. The hunter exchanged fifty pieces of prey for the daughter-in-law of the horse widow.

Eight years ago, the hunter went to the mountains to hunt, but the hunter never came back, so she became a widow.

In October last year, Chen Derong came to their village to sell sanitary napkins. She heard Chen Derong talk about the benefits of sanitary napkins and felt that Chen Derong would be a man who loves his wife.

A man who is willing to put down his body to sell something as private as a woman will be a capable person.

Widow Horse asked for a box of sanitary napkins for the first time. When Chen Derong delivered the goods, she ordered some non-staple food that would be popular in the village. That's how the two became acquainted.

Chen Derong will also come to Tianjiacun to play when he has nothing to do. The two of them played on the bed while playing.

After the two were warm, Chen Derong got up to leave.

"Derong, when are you willing to marry me?" She is not a casual woman. She has always understood the right and wrong in front of the widow, so she never interacts with the men in the village. She really likes Chen Derong; enough to have sex with him.

"Wait, you know I'm not old yet." He was born in 1972; strictly speaking, he was not even 20 years old. Besides, he never thought of marrying Ma Hongying.

"We can do the wine first." She knew that Chen Derong's boss had to get the certificate first and then serve the wine. She was nine years older than Chen Derong, and she was afraid that she couldn't wait.

"It doesn't matter if you don't drink, I can go to your house to take care of my mother." She knew that Chen Derong was filial, and she would also treat her like a mother-in-law and a real mother.

When her family married her to a single hunter, she had nothing to do with her family. When she died that year, the man didn't even think about going back to her parents' home. For the past eight years, she has been going to the city to buy goods by herself, relying on this small shop to support herself.

"Besides! I have to leave beforehand."

He came to deliver the goods that day, soiled his shoes on the way, and stepped into the ditch. Ma Hongying brought the hunter’s shoes to change for him, but they were too big to wear.

Ma Hongying asked him to lie down on the bed, and she sat in the yard to change Chen Derong's shoes. The two were still chatting.

"Gouzu, what do you think of me." When Ma Hongying first met Chen Derong, he only knew that his name was Chen Gouzu. Later, their relationship changed, and Chen Derong asked Ma Hongying to call him Derong instead.

"Very good." He felt that Ma Hongying was a little strange today and suddenly asked him why.

"The dog left, can we be together?"

Chen Derong didn't answer her and left with her modified shoes.

The heavy snow that fell just a few years ago had not yet melted, and Chen Derong suddenly came to Ma Hongying's house, and that night, the two had a relationship.

Chen Derong couldn't tell how he felt about Ma Hongying. He was used to going to her when he wanted.

Ma Hongying's hands are very good, she is very kind to him, she will make clothes and shoes for him, and she is the best person to him except her mother.

But he didn't like Ma Hongying. He thought they could maintain this relationship forever, but he didn't expect that what Ma Hongying wanted was to marry her.

***

The third day return came, and on the 16th, Wang Licheng accompanied Xiao Hongyan back to her parents' home, and the old man talked and laughed to him.

It seems that after drinking with my father-in-law that time, my father-in-law has treated him a lot better, and he did not deliberately embarrass him when he picked up the family.

When I returned home today, many people came to the Xiao family; all of them were relatives of the Xiao family. Xiao Daxing introduced them to Wang Licheng one by one, smiling the whole time, without any impatience. At noon, he also blocked the drink for him.

In fact, he vaguely remembered what happened that day, and no one mentioned it afterwards. He thought it was a dream. If that document can really change his father-in-law's opinion, he thinks it's okay to sign it.

Xiao Hongyan will stand so high in the future, could he be able to stand by her side with only a non-staple food store?

In the evening, all the relatives left. He and his two uncles accompany the old man to have a good drink. He felt that his drinking capacity had improved significantly. He remembered that the first time he drank a sip or two, and now he has drank a cup or two. He just fell down after thinking about it.

Xiao Hongyan settled Wang Licheng and came out to clean up the table. The elder brother Xiao Jianjun took her arm and said drunkenly.

"Little girl, it's Women's Day on March 8th. When will your store open? Let me tell you, this time, the purchasers from those factories took the initiative to find me..." During the

Spring Festival, there were purchases that bypassed Xiao Jianjun and went directly to Wang Licheng , Wang Licheng said that his uncle Xiao Jianjun and Xiao Hongyan were responsible for this.

The store was left to Xiao Hongyan to take care of it. Besides, Xiao Jianjun was very good at running sales. With him helping Xiao Hongyan pull orders, they made a lot of money and Xiao Jianjun made a small profit. He felt that there was no problem.

"Sister-in-law, you take care of eldest brother." It is a virtue for the men of their Xiao family to drink too much. Words have to follow them, things have to follow them, even if you are drunk and talk nonsense, you can't fool them. If you don't follow them, you will make trouble every minute.

"Don't pay attention to him." Xiao Jianjun also told her about it at home. Now that the second and third children of the Xiao family are here, it is not good for him to speak out like this.

They also know a little about the old people making money for their brother-in-law's business. They are all old-fashioned. They feel that the profit of wholesale is low, the sales volume of retail is low, and the investment in opening a store is large, and their income is not much more than what they do when they go to work.

If you want something from a big factory, you don't have to go directly to Jiangcheng to get the goods. Who is still in the store in Pucheng? It was also lively during the Chinese New Year, but usually it was not deserted and lonely.

If Wang Licheng's shop was really profitable, why didn't he quit his job to concentrate on his business and work hard every day?

The day after returning home, Wang Licheng took Xiao Hongyan to Jiangcheng to play. The two revisited their old places and went to People's Park. Wang Licheng accompanied Xiao Hongyan to play all the projects she wanted to play, and finally they chose a cruise.

Wang Licheng thought about getting up wherever he fell, and he had to learn how to row. Xiao Hongyan really wanted to feel it again. Last time, because she was worried that she would not be able to go back, she was always frightened and was not in the mood to play at all.

Wang Licheng deliberately parked the boat in the middle of the lake, and remembered the last time he rowed and opened a house in Jiangcheng.

"Hongyan, are you afraid of the dark?"

Wang Licheng felt that Xiao Hongyan was very nervous every time he turned off the lights and went to bed, even if they had slept a few times.

When he went to bed, she would grab his arm tightly for the first time.

Thinking of Xiao Hongyan's performance at the Jiangcheng Hotel last time, he guessed that Xiao Hongyan might be afraid of the dark.

"How did you know?" She had already covered it up well, and she didn't bring any small lamps.

"Haha, I guess, remember the last time we stayed in a hotel last night..."

Xiao Hongyan knew what he was talking about, and immediately stopped her, "Don't say it, I'll be angry if you say it again."

"You must forget about this, and no one is allowed to talk about it." It was disgusting that he even laughed at her about it.

Before, when she didn't move into the building, an old woman lived next door and liked to tell them stories. One year in July and a half, in order to scare the children from going out that night, she told them a story about a ghost eating a baby. From that day on, when no one was with her, she had to have light to fall asleep.

The two stayed in Jiangcheng for one night and drove home at noon the next day.

At the station, they met Luo Zhongyong, who came home from Pucheng to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

The car back to Pucheng was still half an hour away, so he led Luo Zhongyong to the side to talk.

"I called you a few days ago, but no one answered." He was about to start school, and Liang Lixue ignored him. He was impatient.

"That phone number is my store's number. I'm on marriage leave, and the store is not open."

"Okay, don't talk about it, you can help me, how can you help?"

"You talk about your current relationship first, what’s the situation, and how did you pursue her?"

Luo Zhongyong said a few simple things.

"When you go back to the capital, send her some things that girls like or have fun with. Each time you attach a text message, the letter should not be too long, just write a few sentences, and don't push her too hard..."

Wang Licheng added. Some tricks for chasing girls in later generations.

Girls like romance and love to pursue freedom of love. Luo Zhongyong will have a high chance of success if he first brushes up his goodwill and then confesses.

He remembered that Luo Xue's parents were very loving. Liang Lixue might not have a bad impression on Luo Zhongyong, maybe she hadn't realized her heart yet.

He just found out that Luo Xue's parents turned out to be relatives.

He envied this kind of feeling very much, whether it was her in the past or him now.

Wang Licheng didn't know how far he and Xiao Hongyan could go, and how far they could go. He wasn't even sure if Xiao Hongyan liked him.

If he only married an ordinary woman, he had the confidence to make her fall in love with him. The two run a small shop, have a child, and live an ordinary life. He felt that he would be very happy even so.

***

Time passed quickly, and the 10 days of marriage leave passed in the blink of an eye.

After the Lantern Festival, Xiao Hongyan was busy again. This time, Xiao Jianjun, who was sober, came to talk about the 38 gifts, and he recommended sanitary napkins for purchasing.

His wife Chen Baozhu said that this thing is easy to use, and that the things that women give to women on March 8th are practical and appropriate.

After Wang Licheng found out, he specially talked to Xiao Jianjun once, and he mentioned Xiao Jianjun's commission for selling sanitary napkins to 2%.

He thinks this is a good opportunity to promote sanitary napkins in Pucheng. He wants to let all women in Pucheng know about sanitary napkins and use them.

After talking with him, Xiao Jianjun brought in a few more factories, and even Xiao Hongyan's school's March 8 gifts were sanitary napkins.

Although the number of factories placing orders has increased, the number of orders has decreased. After all, it is only a festival for a small number of people, and the total order volume of all factories is only 10,000 Yuan. The school's order is the least, only a few hundred Yuan.

Wang Licheng is also open to it. His main purpose is to promote, of course, he can make the best money.

***

 

The author has something to say: Wang Licheng is actually a character with a tinge of grief. It is fortunate and unfortunate that he can marry Xiao Hongyan.

Wang Licheng is not a person who takes material things very seriously.

If he married an ordinary woman, the general distributor of two commodities in a non-staple food store would be enough to live on. The story ends here.

He just married a woman who would become an acting vice-governor in the future. If he can wait for his wife to become an official and eat soft rice with peace of mind, the story can end here.

But these are not the paths that Wang Licheng will choose, so there is a later story...
