210: Smart Ran Shuyu (2 More)
Ran Shuyu lowered her voice:
"Why haven't we been able to return to the city, isn't it because there is no one to speak for us? Jianhua has been admitted to the university, but how many years will it have to wait until Jianhua can speak? They must have been assigned new positions. You are in your early fifties in Guangping. If you stay on the farm for a few more years, what else can you do?
What's up with the self-employed.
Ran Shuyu also reads the newspaper when she has time.
The newspaper said that the country has established a special economic zone. Of course, the self-employed is not decent, but the self-employed can make money!
Everyone on the farm must receive benefits, and others must also receive benefits, it only depends on whether the benefits are large enough. Ran Shuyu thought about sending gifts to key places, at least to remind people of Wang Guangping, so that the farms in the far north would not be left idle and moldy.
The previous relationships of the Wang family are no longer active, and Wang Jianhua is not easy to come to the door empty-handed.
If there is financial support, Wang Jianhua can also restore contact with the old friends of the Wang family. Ran Shuyu pinned her hope of returning to the city on her son. What's wrong with a daughter-in-law who has money and all her thoughts on her son? I just don't know how rich Xia Ziyu's family is, and whether they can be willing to pay for the Wang family's vindication and clearing the relationship.
It's just boyfriend and girlfriend, why should the Xia family pay?
It's different if they are unmarried couples. If Wang Guangping can be reinstated, the Xia family will be raised to the sky by relying on their in-laws.
Wang Guangping was silent after hearing Ran Shuyu's plan.
After a long while, Wang Guangping spit out a few words like squeezing toothpaste:
"...A self-employed person, you are really ill and go to the doctor!"
Going to the doctor in a hurry?
Maybe!
Ran Shuyu didn't object either.
She was really fed up with these dark days. If Wang Jianhua hadn't been admitted to university, she might not have been able to make it through this winter. Fortunately, Wang Jianhua was admitted to the university, and the Wang family also had some hope of turning over.
Of course Ran Shuyu would not make demands on Xia Ziyu. The two of them slept in the same room at night, and Ran Shuyu didn't even mention money. Inside and out, she was grateful for Xia Ziyu's efforts, saying that Wang Jianhua was really lucky to find a girl like Xia Ziyu as a target.
"Auntie is in favor of you getting married after graduation. Now, both of you must focus on your studies."
Ran Shuyu's words are reasonable, and Xia Ziyu is also happy, thinking that Wang Jianhua's mother can handle it well, and it's not in vain for her money and thoughts. Wang Jianhua's father doesn't seem to be able to accept her yet, and Xia Ziyu is also mentally prepared for a long-term war of resistance... Wang Jianhua is a dutiful son, and if she wants to be Wang Jianhua's wife, she can't do without the nod of Wang Jianhua's parents.
Besides, Wang Jianhua's father is not an ordinary person.
Xia Ziyu firmly believes that giving charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake.
...
Xia Ziyu froze on a farm in the extreme north.
Xia Xiaolan yawned in the warm room. If she knew about Xia Ziyu's efforts to gain the approval of Wang Jianhua's parents, she would definitely shout in admiration, and she would definitely not be able to make Xia Xiaolan so humble.
This made her refuse to think about the problem of achieving a positive result with Zhou Cheng. If Zhou Cheng's family did not accept her as a rural girl, Xia Xiaolan liked Zhou Chenggui, and she would definitely not be able to please Zhou Cheng's parents in a low voice.
She can speak softly to customers, and she can hold back her temper in order to facilitate a business. Even in business matters, Xia Xiaolan has her own principles and bottom lines.
Relationships are not business. Xia Xiaolan likes Zhou Chengcai to be with him. If there are too many things mixed in and the relationship makes her feel uncomfortable, Xia Xiaolan will naturally choose to separate. After all, she has no obsession with Zhou Cheng. If a woman has nothing, it is easy to pin all her heart on a man.
Even if Xia Xiaolan didn't have Zhou Cheng, she still had her own studies and career. She was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and she might forget the pain for a while. The balance of the relationship between the two is equally important. For now, it is obvious that Zhou Cheng likes Xia Xiaolan more.
Emotional matters are inherently unfair. Whoever likes more will be more attentive and more willing to give!
Xia Xiaolan is not in a hurry to tell Kang Wei about opening a building materials decoration store. She is waiting for Zhou Cheng's reply, and she wonders if she can meet Zhou Cheng in the capital. By the time she returned from Yangcheng, the spring clothes that Li Fengmei brought back had already begun to be sold.
The day Xia Xiaolan returned to Shangdu was the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. The temperature in late February had not warmed up yet, which did not delay those female customers from starting to buy spring clothes. Xia Xiaolan ordered the stockings early for only 10 yuan per pair, and Li Fengmei wondered who would spend ten yuan on a pair of thin socks, but the most popular thing that came back this time were these translucent stockings. .
Actresses in fashion magazines have to wear them, and they often appear in foreign movies. Women in Hong Kong and Taiwan are wearing them. Why can't women in Shangdu wear them? The waitresses in the municipal party's guest house were willing to exchange the payment of being a guest with Xia Xiaolan for a pair of stockings, so they knew how much they longed for this fashionable thing.
Those waitresses were paid 20 yuan per day. Xia Xiaolan was priced at 10 yuan for a pair of stockings. Li Fengmei thought it was expensive, but there were still people who could afford it!
Whether a product sells well or not is not because it is expensive or cheap.
The stalls at farmers markets are cheap, and customers will still pick and choose.
The price of "Blue Phoenix" clothes has not been cheap since the time of the stall, why are there still customers who have to pay for it? Scarcity can satisfy customers' needs and vanity at the same time... If it's just cheap, there are so many local clothes in Shangdu, why do customers buy expensive ones? What they want is expensive, and they want to be different from others.
"Stockings" is the same, 10 yuan a pair. 10 yuan can buy several kilograms of meat
, If you buy rice, you can eat it for a month, is it worth it for a pair of thin socks? Li Fengmei said whether it was worth it or not, and Xia Xiaolan said it was not worth it. It was up to the customer to judge whether it was worth it.
What they pursue is not "silk stockings", but the fashion represented by stockings.
For fear that they will not be able to buy them in the future, some people buy only two or three pairs. In terms of the passenger flow of "Blue Phoenix", 200 pairs of stockings will not be sold out in a few days. Xia Xiaolan had to send another telegram to White Pearl, asking her to collect another batch of stockings and send them to Shangdu.
"This time, our socks are not for sale, we will send them directly!"
Li Fengmei looked up from the fashion magazine.
"deliver?"
A pair of stockings also cost a few dollars. If you say you send stockings to the outside world, it’s not as much as you want!
Li Fengmei was worried about the cost, but Xia Xiaolan laughed unpredictably, "It's just a gift, I'll find someone to paint two posters in the past two days."
Xia Xiaolan can also draw simple posters, but she thinks it wastes her time. This kind of non-technical work can be left to professional people to do. Xia Xiaolan spent a lot of time to make money, and now she can spend a small amount of money to save time, which she feels is particularly cost-effective.
"By the way, today is the Lantern Festival, shall we eat dumplings at night?"
