"Uh-huh."

…………

"Not bad."

…………

"The material is indeed good."

…………

Nice words keep coming out of customers' mouths, but they still get no response whether they want to buy or not.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

A few minutes later, the customer left the store in a hurry without saying anything. The other person left in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry.

Seeing the customers leaving in a hurry, Zheng Juan sighed silently.

Negotiation failed again.

Fortunately, this was not the first time she had experienced this kind of thing. She couldn't remember how many similar scenes she had experienced in the past period.

In fact, Zheng Juan knew that the customer just now did not have a strong intention to buy.

It is not difficult to discover this. A real customer who wants to buy furniture will never focus all his attention on her.

A person who cares more about himself than the furniture is not a real customer.

Zheng Juan knew that she was prettier than many people, and this was one of her few advantages. If she didn't have this, how could she have the courage to stand in front of Li Jie.

Growing up, she had become accustomed to other people's eyes looking at her. Over time, she could vaguely detect what was hidden in other people's eyes.

Although the guest who just looked at her looked at her a little more eagerly, there was not much malice in it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have introduced him for so long.

Huh?

Suddenly, the corner of Zheng Juan's eye glanced at the counter, and she immediately spotted the person sitting at the counter.

Walking up to the counter, Zheng Juan's face was filled with a warm smile.

"Bingkun, when did you come back?"

"It's been a while."

Li Jie raised his head, came back from his work, and glanced out the door.

"That person left just now?"

"gone."

Saying that, Zheng Juan sighed slightly.

"Alas, I haven't completed any orders today."

Li Jie looked at the sparse flow of people on the street. It was normal for such a market to have fewer orders.

There are four people in this store, including Li Jie. Except for Zheng Juan, the other three are not permanent residents in the store.

The other two people, like Li Jie, spend most of their time outside running business.

Strictly speaking, Zheng Juan is the only real store clerk. People like Li Jie and others should be considered salesmen.

"You've done a great job."

Li Jie did not hesitate to praise: "There are not many clerks who work hard like you."

"No way."

Zheng Juan shook her head shyly: "The few things I sold are not as good as the fraction you sold."

Although Zheng Juan is only a temporary worker, as a member of the Jichun store, she still knows the sales amount of the store.

If she only relied on the little things she sold, would the people in Xiaoqingshan Village starve to death?

Most of the sales in the store are maintained by 'Bingkun' alone.

In addition, she also heard Zhao Hongxing say that in the future, things produced in Xiaoqingshan Village may be exported and sold to foreigners.

For this reason, 'Bingkun' also specifically asked Zhao Hongxing to learn a new language - English.

Zheng Juan had a good relationship with Zhao Hongxing. She heard Zhao Hongxing complain in private that English was too difficult to learn.

The requirements of 'Director Zhou' are higher than those of school teachers. They must not only be able to read and write, but also be able to speak.

No, regardless of whether the product can be selected or not, the English learning group at the Xiaoqingshan Village Educated Youth Point was the first to be established.

Members of the study group have been learning the new language since late last year.

Unlike later generations, English is indeed a very unfamiliar course for students in the 1960s and 1970s.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the dominant foreign language was still Russian, and the first foreign language that most students came into contact with was Russian.

In order to learn English, the educated youths in the Xiaoqingshan Village Educated Youth Spot have suffered a lot.

Working in a factory during the day and studying together at night, this life is so 'fulfilling'.

After learning about the English learning group, Zheng Juan secretly found Zhao Hongxing, hoping to join and learn with them.

Although Zheng Juan has not read many books, it does not mean that she is illiterate.

What's more, for an unfamiliar course, whether it is Zheng Juan or an educated youth at the educated youth level, their starting points are not far apart.

Zheng Juan's request quickly received a response from Zhao Hongxing.

Zhao Hongxing is a smart person. She can see clearly what Zheng Juan's purpose is in learning English.

This is obviously Xiang Zhuang's intention to dance with Pei Gong.

In fact, not long after the two met, Zhao Hongxing realized that Zheng Juan liked them a little bit.

Zhao Hongxing admired Zheng Juan's courage. 'Dian Chang' was notoriously difficult to pursue in their educated youth area. How many little girls liked 'Dian Chang'?

These sisters tried one after another, but none of them succeeded.

And she, Zhao Hongxing, was the first to lead the charge.

After being rejected by "Dian Chang" at first, Zhao Hongxing was doubtful for a while, and he doubted himself from time to time, whether he was not charming enough.

Later, when he saw his sisters failing one after another, Zhao Hongxing gradually became disappointed.

It's not that she is unattractive or not good enough, it's just that she is too...too...

How do you say that word?

correct!

Aloof!

Too aloof.

Although 'Dian Chang' always looks kind and pleasant to everyone, when it comes to matters involving men and women, 'Dian Chang' seems to be a different person.

Romance

It was precisely because 'Dian Chang' was famously cold that Zhao Hongxing became curious about Zheng Juan.

'Dian Chang' suddenly recruited a girl into the store. Although it was only a temporary worker, this was also explosive news.

There is a lot of discussion about Zheng Juan in the educated youth circles.

The sisters often discuss this matter at night. Who is Zheng Juan? Why did 'Dian Chang' recruit her?

Is there some other relationship between the two of them?

Zhao Hongxing and Zheng Juan first met out of curiosity, but as they got in touch, she gradually discovered the shining points in Zheng Juan.

First of all, there is no doubt that Zheng Juan is beautiful.

Secondly, this girl is very tenacious and has a spirit of reluctance in her heart.

Finally, she's a nice person.

As a result, Zhao Hongxing and Zheng Juan became good friends, very good friends. After getting acquainted with each other, she also played a guest role as a dog-headed military advisor, often giving advice to Zheng Juan.

Unfortunately, Zheng Juan did not accept many of her suggestions.

After a while, an emotion called "hesitation" appeared between Zheng Juan's brows. She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to speak, but when the words reached her lips, her mouth closed again.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this scene, Li Jie touched his chin and said bluntly.

"That...that..."

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Juan mustered up her courage and said.

"I want to learn foreign languages ​​with you!"
