MTL - Transmigrate to the ’80s to Be a Stepmother-Chapter 56

The business of the small shop was completed, and Mother Lu was very happy, so she cleaned up the room at home, hoping that the goods would be shipped back soon.

Time flies, and a week passes quickly.

The wooden shelves that Lu's father asked someone to hit were all ready, but the other party hadn't called to pick up the goods yet.

Lu's mother started to worry. Every day, she was thinking about goods. She wondered where the convoy had gone and when she would be able to return. She made everyone feel helpless.

Lu's father was not used to this energetic appearance. He didn't expect that Lu's mother would suddenly be full of energy and take her career seriously.

He felt a little disappointed, and after a long silence, he got up to work, and strongly supported Lu's mother. Every day, I either help to keep an eye on the progress of the shelves, or ask about the prices of various things in the town, and ask Lu Zetian and his comrades-in-arms for details, and want to help Mother Lu pick up the goods in the future.

After another two days, the call finally reached the village. Lu's mother urged Lu Zetian to answer the phone, and she wandered around the house in panic and joy, wondering if it had come to fruition.

After a while, Lu Zetian came back, and the whole family hurriedly surrounded him. Lu's mother ran over anxiously and asked him, "How is it going? Is it finished? Has the goods arrived?"

Lu Zetian nodded, "He's already arrived in the city, and he just needs to rest for two days, and he will deliver the goods directly to our house."

"Oh, that's great!" Lu's mother clapped her hands vigorously, she couldn't be happier, "God, go to town tomorrow morning to buy a chicken, and then cut some meat, and we will treat Xiao Wang well!"

"Thank you for his help."

Mother Lu knew that she had some daily groceries, so I troubled others to bring them. The travel expenses might not even have much pocket money. It was all thanks to Lu Zetian that he was willing to help.

"Okay." Lu Zetian replied.

Qin Shi and Lu Yao looked at each other very happily. When the children knew that grandma was going to open a grocery store, they cheered even more.

Lu's father asked: "Isn't it good to trouble others?" After all, their business is really too small.

He heard from Lu Zetian that they have a fleet of trucks, and they charge by weight for the goods they pull, and they can earn hundreds of dollars per trip. Their small shipping fee is really the petty profit of the petty profit, and it is not troublesome enough. How long can the other party help?

"That's right." This is what Lu's mother is most worried about.

"He has someone under his command. He didn't do it himself. He just ordered someone to do it. He doesn't like the little travel expenses of our family, but the people who work below are different. They can earn a little bit, not too much."

"I went back to the county with the convoy, and the goods were supposed to be sent back to the county, so I brought them here along the way."

Lu Zetian explained: "He helped me repay the old relationship, and also wanted to get closer to me."

Although he is in the army, he can't help him with outside affairs, but he knows a lot of people and has a wide range of ways, so maybe there will be things that he needs to help in the future.

They have a good relationship, there is genuine affection, but there are also some benefits. No one is a fool, a team leader, a transportation team leader, of course, it would be better if they get along well.

Lu's father understood, and Lu's mother didn't worry anymore. She was happy and worried for a while, "Because you are all here, and there are people to help, I bought hundreds of goods for the first time. What if I can't sell them? ?”

"No, don't worry." Qin Shi comforted her: "They are all daily necessities, and someone must buy them, and the more we buy, the lower the price, which is more cost-effective."

"That's right, don't worry!" Lu Yao also comforted.

Lu's mother agreed, but she still couldn't help muttering in her heart, fearing that the deal would be ruined.

Having trouble sleeping all night, Mother Lu tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep, and woke up early in the morning.

When Lu Zetian came back after cutting the meat, Mother Lu hurriedly cleaned it up, helped Qin Shi, and told her to cook a table of dishes, thanking Wang Jun.

The meal was almost ready, and the agreed time was getting closer and closer. Mother Lu couldn't stay in the kitchen, so she handed over the work to Lu Yao, and ran to the gate to look outside, listening carefully for the sound of a car.

After standing for a few minutes and finding no movement, Mother Lu turned around and went back to the house, thinking that she would come out to have a look later.

"Didi—"

The sound of the horn and the laughter and screams of the children made Lu's eyes widen when she just entered the room. She ran out immediately, and when she saw that there was a car coming outside, she immediately shouted: "Hurry up, my God!" , the car is coming!"

Except for Lu Yao and Qin Shi who were in the kitchen, everyone in the Lu family went out. Qin Shi poked her head, looked through the window to see Mother Lu's excitement outside, and couldn't help laughing.

"Mom feels much younger, her eyes are full of light." Lu Yao sighed and said, "I've never seen my mother like this."

Qin Shi smiled and said nothing, once people have life goals and pursuits, they will naturally become different.

Wang Jun got out of the car, greeted Lu Zetian and the others warmly, and unloaded the big bags and boxes from the car.

The onlookers looked at the big box with soy sauce written on it, and asked curiously, "What is this? Is it all soy sauce?"

Lu's mother took the opportunity to announce that she was going to open a grocery store. She was afraid that it would not be possible, so she didn't let the wind out at all. Now that the goods have arrived, she naturally wants to spread the word.

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the words. They didn't expect that she would actually sell things in the village.

"What else is there besides soy sauce?" Someone asked expectantly.

"Vinegar, salt, sugar, towels, tea mugs, washing powder, and soap are all messed up," Lu's mother didn't have time to talk to them now, she was in a hurry to greet Wang Jun.

So she waved her hand and said to those people who were asking questions, "The sales are all daily groceries. I'll pack up the goods tomorrow and let everyone know when the sale starts. Everyone will come and see."

"If there are guests at home, I won't chat with you!"

Lu's mother entered the house, leaving behind a group of people chatting with Lu's family in front of the car.

"The Lu family is living a beautiful life. The son is promising, and the daughter is studying well. Now they have opened a grocery store, tsk tsk!"

"There are so many people selling things, can this really make money? What should I sell on the whole?"

"You? Do you have capital? Will you sell it? What if you lose money?"

"Forget it, I'll just farm the land honestly."

"She sells daily necessities, so we don't have to travel all the way to town!"

"I just don't know how much the price is. If it's more expensive than the town, then I'd better go to the town."

"I'll know in two days, just wait and see!"

…

After chatting for a few words, everyone dispersed quickly. They were anxious to inform acquaintances of the matter and gossip with others.

In the room, Qin Shi came out with the last soup, and everyone was about to sit down and eat.

Qin Shi's craftsmanship is not in vain, Wang Jun, who ate a table of dishes, praised him again and again, envious of Lu Zetian.

In addition, the Lu family sincerely thanked him, and he also intended to befriend the Lu family, and the meal was a feast for the guests of honor.

After the meal, Wang Jun took out the package of the goods, checked it with Lu Zetian in detail, and after confirming that it was correct, he settled the bill.

"Tell me in advance how much and what you want in the future. I will go to buy the goods. It will take time to go back and forth." Wang Jun left his contact information and said: "I will send the goods and the list together. When you get to the county, you take it and make sure, just give me the money and put it on the account."

It is impossible for the Lu family to cheat on this matter, and it is impossible for Wang Jun to falsify the accounts. Both parties trust each other very much.

Otherwise, according to the normal process, Wang Jun would have to collect half of the deposit before buying the goods. Wang Jun really doesn't like the little shipping fee of the Lu family. If you are more straightforward, you can make the Lu family remember his kindness. Why not do it?

After chatting for a while, Lu Ze sent Wang Jun out of the house. After he left, Mother Lu immediately went to organize the goods, record them, mark the prices, and put them on the shelves.

There are a lot of messy things, and the whole family helps to sort them out, and the prices are the same.

Wang Jun knew many merchants, and the prices of these things for the Lu family were very low, much cheaper than those in the outside market.

Lu's mother took a pen and a notebook and wrote down and calculated, while smiling from ear to ear, "I don't sell them too expensive, I just sell them at the market price, and I can make a lot of money!"

"Throwing out the freight, if you sell all of these, you can earn two to three hundred!"

"This thing is twice as cheap as the market? Why is it so cheap?" Lu's mother was a little worried: "Could it be that the goods are out of order?"

Qin Shi probed her head and saw that she was talking about candy, so she shook her head: "The raw materials needed are already cheap, and they are directly obtained from the factory, so the price is of course very low."

"It's expensive to buy outside, because it has changed hands."

Father Lu frowned: "The candy sold by the supply and marketing agency is also much more expensive than this."

"The types are different," Qin Shi explained, "and this factory is privately owned. They probably want to make small profits but sell more. In order to make a name for themselves, they may increase the price in the future."

Lu's father and Lu's mother nodded, "So that's the case."

Lu Yao looked at Qin Shi in admiration, "Sister-in-law, why do you know everything? That's amazing!"

The twins immediately echoed: "Mom is amazing! Especially amazing!"

Qin Shi smiled: "It's not that exaggerated, I just understand a little bit."

Lu Zetian looked at her, and suddenly said, "You don't need to be humble, you are just outstanding."

Qin Shi was slightly taken aback, and Lu's mother and the others were also taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect Lu Zetian to praise others.

Lu Yao made a shocked expression, and deliberately joked: "Hey, I didn't expect my elder brother to praise others? Since I was a child, I have never heard you say who is outstanding, and it has to be my sister-in-law~"

Lu Zetian was a little embarrassed by her playful eyes, but his face was still indifferent, as if he didn't care.

He looked at Qin Shi calmly, wanting to see her expression, and then found that Qin Shi was more calm than this, without any shyness.

"I'm just average." Qin Shi raised her chin slightly, very proud, "I'm average~"

Qin Shi did this on purpose, and immediately destroyed the ambiguous atmosphere between her and Lu Zetian, and made everyone laugh.

Mother Lu likes Qin Shi very much. She is capable, sensible, good-looking and beautiful. Mother Lu loves her very much. After getting along for nearly a month, she really treats Qin Shi like a daughter.

After chatting for a few more words, everyone began to organize the goods seriously, and they were busy until the sun went down.

Mother Lu asked Father Lu and Lu Yao to cook, and Qin Shi and herself began to arrange goods, and asked Lu Zetian to do coolies to carry things.

The children huddled beside them, watching and playing for a while, running back and forth non-stop, unable to stop for a while.

…

Early the next morning, Mother Lu hung Father Lu's wooden sign with "Small Shop" on the window at the door of the house, and then went to hang a piece for the gate, and then prepared to set fire to the gate Firecrackers on the ground nearby.

Lu Zetian saw her going to get the fire, and said, "I'll do it."

Lu's mother slapped him away, "Go away! I will do it myself!"

Qin Shi and Lu Yao laughed "puchi", Lu Zetian looked back at them and shrugged helplessly.

Lu's mother solemnly walked to the firecrackers, took a deep breath, took out the matches with a serious expression, took out one and threw it on the side of the box.

When the flame appeared, Mother Lu put the match on the fuse of the firecracker.

"Hiss—" The fuse was burning, and Mother Lu threw away the still burning match and ran away, and the crackling sound was heard soon.

The first lunar month has long ended, but the sound of firecrackers rang out on the days when there were no cannons, which quickly attracted the villagers.

When they came out, they saw that the Lu family was setting off firecrackers, and immediately regained their spirits.

After the firecrackers were set off, many people rushed over, looking curiously and expectantly at Mother Lu standing outside the gate.

"The door is open? Is it for sale?"

Lu's mother held her head high and her chest high, "Yes! The small shop is open, and there are all kinds of daily groceries! The quality is guaranteed and the price is fair!"
