Boss Chen hesitated for a moment, perhaps shocked by their brotherhood. Then he said, "Brother, I'm a few years older than you. You don't mind if I call you that."
"I don't mind, brother."
"I think since you are here, Brother Xiao Yang has done a good job here. I don't think you need to be in such a hurry to see him. You should settle down first and think about what you want to do. Also, Xiao Yang will definitely do it in two months He will come because he has a cooperative relationship with a big customer and wants to supply 206 bars of soap every two months, and he will come to pick up the goods at that time."
"Oh, really! This boy is really good. Brother, I listen to you. But first I have to write a letter to my godfather and godmother. Brother, is there a post office nearby?"
"Yes, yes, there is one at the station. Your godfather and godmother?"
"Oh, they are A Fang's parents. I went back to apply for ID cards, went to his house to look for him, and lived in their house for more than ten days. My parents died when I was young, and they recognized me as their godson." So 15 10. He told Yang’s father and Yang’s mother how kind they were to him, as well as the things that caused Yang Liufang to be misunderstood at home. The two chatted until after get off work, when Boss Zhou came over on a yellow croaker, and the three of them went to eat together.
This time Boss Zhou treated us to a treat and said to Boss Chen: "You and Xiao Yang help each other. You treated us a few days ago, and Xiao Li and I also helped each other, so this time I treat you."
"Okay, Xiao Li, you're welcome, open up and eat. Boss Zhou is rich." The three of them went to the mutton steamed bun restaurant again and ordered the specialty here: the classic mutton steamed buns and beef and mutton steamed buns. Li Tongfu also ate very well. After the meal, the two of them sent him back to the Ning'an Hotel where Yang Liufang had stayed to settle down.
Before the two of them left, Li Tongfu took out the duck products and jellyfish skins brought by Yang's father and mother from his bag, and distributed them to the two of them so that they could taste the flavor of his hometown, which was also the heart of the old man. The two of them, who hadn't been home for a long time, happily took it. Boss Chen smelled it and said: "It tastes like home, it's really good. The beef and mutton from the northwest are delicious, but they don't have the stuff in the water here. I miss it so much."
After seeing them off, Li Tongfu began to write a letter. He wrote two letters in total. One was a letter to Father Yang and Mother Yang. He wrote:
Godfather and Godmother:
The two elders are good, Zhan Xin is good.
I had arrived in Xizhou and immediately asked for information about Al Fang. Unexpectedly, by chance, I got information from him at the Xizhou Wholesale Market, and he also left me a letter.
A Fang is now very good, he is a nice person, and his business is doing well. He has established a firm foothold in Xizhou and has potential customers and regular customers. And with the money I saved through my own business a few days ago, I bought a set of carpentry tools to make furniture for the children of a leader's family. Please don't worry.
I originally wanted to look for him, but he went to the countryside to sell goods and his settlement was not fixed, so a big brother in the market who was very kind to him told me to let me wait for him here, because he will come to help him in two months Regular customers pick up goods. So I decided to wait for him while selling shoes. When I see Al Fang, I will ask him to write to you as soon as possible.
I wish you and your husband well!
Sincerely
salute.
Son: Li Tongfu
Li Tongfu found that since he read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his writing skills have become much better. It used to take him half a day to write a sentence, but now it seems that there are always many words to finish in long articles, so he just hates that the paper is short. long.
In the letter to Liu Xia's parents, the writing was relatively simple.
Uncle, aunt, Liu Xia:
Hello everyone, I heard about Yang Liufang in Xizhou, but when I arrived, he went to the countryside to sell goods. He is doing well now and his business is doing well. He has also bought a set of carpentry tools and plans to use the carpentry skills he learned to build furniture for the leaders here. Don’t read it.
The big brother from the market told me that I will be able to meet A Fang in two months. After meeting, I will ask him to reply to you as soon as possible. Please understand.
I wish you all the best.
Yours sincerely, Li Tongfu!
After finishing writing, Li Tongfu tore off the two written papers on the notepad, folded them, and prepared to send them out tomorrow. After washing up in the bathroom, Li Tongfu went back to bed and lay down comfortably. He wanted to think carefully about his development in Xizhou.
Because there was no alarm clock, Yang Liufang was woken up by Wang Shan in Wangshawan. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up. After putting on new clothes, he looked completely new. It’s just that my hair is a bit sloppy. I haven’t had a haircut in two months and it has grown longer. I suddenly found that long hair is also good. It is much more handsome than the short crew cut I had in my hometown. He might as well keep his hair long. When he saw Ellsworth's illustrations in the book, he decided to keep his hair side-parted.
After washing up, the old village chief also came to the village headquarters. Yang Liufang showed the old village chief the picture he had drawn overnight, and the old village chief was stunned.
"Oh my, what a baby. Isn't this the kind of furniture that only noble families in dramas have? Can my home be made like this?"
"Sou (Uncle), yes, it's great. And I thought about using bright red raw paint, and I adjusted it to the color of mahogany. After polishing and painting, the whole set of furniture will be as grand and noble as mahogany. And the mahogany color , it’s also a happy occasion for third brother’s wedding.”
"Oh, uncle (Uncle), thank you for them first. Well (I) have nothing to do here. There are five hundred yuan here. You can take it first. If it's not enough, wait until it's finished. Uncle (Uncle) Give it to you again.”
"Sou (uncle), what are you doing! Give me so much money."
"It's the wages! Your son has to finish the furniture before they get married. If you rush the work, you won't be able to do business for four months. I guess you can only sell it for so much money in a month."
"Uncle, this is too much! Let's do this, since you treat me like a child, I will keep four hundred, and I will do the work well. If you have someone you know well, you can introduce me to them in the future, and I will take their money." Some of them will make money.”
"Aww, no wonder people say that people in the south are smart and good at doing business. Your kid is really smart. Okay, I agree with you. I will recommend you to anyone who needs carpentry when they get married and build a house in the future."
"Thank you, Sou (Uncle)."
"While it's early, you two should go deliver the goods to someone. Go to Zhao Machuan first and put away the tools (part 2)."
"I know, Da!"
The two drove the carriage and set off. On the way, the two young people had many topics to talk about, ranging from girls to work and thinking about the future.
"Brother, you asked me yesterday what I wanted to do in the future. I really hadn't thought about it carefully before. But after thinking about it all night, I think it would be great to do business with you!"
"Third brother, it's actually a pleasure for me to do business with you. I'll give you face from every village in the world."
"Brother, it's not my (my) face. It was from my previous life. It's also the face of Eda and Yinhua."
"So, third brother, I think it's better for you to take over and join politics. It's easy for you to become rich alone. The two of us can do business throughout the entire Hanwang River. If you join politics, we can not only continue to do business, but also drive the entire Wangsha River." People in Taiwan have become rich." Yang Liufang combined the words he read in the People's Daily with his experience in selling goods these days, and what he said was really high-level, which made Wang Shan sit up and take notice.
"Oh, brother, you are still fat (level)."
"No, third brother, I was just reading nonsense in the newspaper."
"Well (I) think it makes sense."
While chatting, the two arrived at Yinhua's house. Seeing their arrival, Yinhuada, who had just returned from the village, stood up to greet them. Yang Liufang hurriedly gave Yinhua a cigarette. After Yinhua took them over, he led them into the courtyard.
"Da, we can't stay too long. Please take a look at the furniture drawings Xiao Yang drew to check. Then take off the tools. We (we) have to go on business!"
Liu Fang also echoed: "Uncle Sou, we won't go in right now. Here are the drawings. You can take a look at them. If you think it's okay, please take us to unload the tools. Ermeng still has to go." We deliver goods to Hongtu Village and Wangqingchuan. It’s quite a long journey back and forth.”
"Oh, that's true. Okay, let's talk as we walk, and we'll go over there." After saying that, he went back to put on a shirt, holding the drawing in his hand, then came out again and got into the carriage, because his father-in-law was in the car and Wang Shan was driving. He was a little cautious and didn't dare to say much.
Yang Liufang took a peek and found that Yinhuada became more and more satisfied as he looked at it, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Oh, this furniture is so lavish! I've never seen such magnificent furniture in the leader's house in Xizhou."
"Big, Xiao Yang told Emeng (us) to use raw lacquer and cinnabar to make it mahogany color. It looks like a piece of mahogany furniture."
"Hey, it's not bad. If you look back, you can change everything in the house to look like this. It's so beautiful!"
The three of them quickly arrived at an empty yard next to the village headquarters. Yinhua got out of the car and opened the door with the key. In the yard, the willow trees brought back from Wangshawan were neatly stacked.
