"Then it depends on your ability." Lu Xiaozhen looked at her with a smile, "I have found a way for you. Whether you can walk and how far you can go depends on your ability. You can't let Xiao Qin help you walk. Bar?"
"That's right, Xiao Qin is quite knowledgeable and discerning. He knows that there is a wholesale market in Haicheng. Let's take a look and find a way. We have been in the army for so many years and we have never heard anyone mention this matter."
"But, Comrade Chen often comes to Haicheng, why has she never told him? She doesn't know, right?"
"It's also possible that she has always had her eyes set high and looks down on this small business."
"When we set up stalls in the future, don't be fooled by her anymore. Last night she encouraged us to go find Comrade Xiao Qin, just to use us to humiliate her?"
"Indeed, if Comrade Xiao Qin hadn't come up with a solution for us, no one would have thought nothing of her instigation in the morning. She didn't deal with Comrade Xiao Qin, but asked us to make things difficult. I'm a little scared thinking about it. .”
"From now on, we will do business honestly and don't listen to her nonsense. Making money is the last word. No matter what anyone says, it won't work and they won't give us money."
"Yes, self-employed people have a bad reputation, but as long as I can make money and don't break the law, I'm not afraid of anything."
After eating the buns, several people started to go separately to purchase goods, and agreed to wait at the entrance of the wholesale market.
Lu Xiaozhen had already finished shopping, and was dragged by Qiu Meiqin to the wholesale cloth store, asking her to help her choose cloth. No one else had any objections, and each went to wholesale what they wanted to sell.
People at this time were more practical in doing business. The owners of wholesale stores would not raise prices randomly, and military wives did not know how to bargain. They would give them whatever they asked.
Seeing that they didn’t bring any bags to put their things in, the boss graciously gave them a few and promised to contact them next time when he needed to stock up.
After working for several hours, it was already mid-afternoon and everyone’s goods hadn’t been put in yet. Although the military wives were anxious, there was nothing they could do. They had already arrived and the goods were already being picked up. They couldn’t abandon their work and run back. .
By the time everyone had stocked up and gathered together, the sun had set. Fortunately, there is a minibus from the wholesale market directly to the passenger terminal, which costs two yuan per person.
This greatly facilitates customers who wholesale goods. Although two yuan is expensive, it is nothing to carry the goods.
A few people got on the minibus and arrived at the passenger terminal with their things on their backs. When they inquired, they found that the last bus to the town had already departed and that today's shuttle bus had run out.
Everyone was very depressed for a moment. Lu Xiaozhen looked at everyone's faces and comforted them: "It's okay. Let's catch the early train tomorrow morning. When we get to town, you will just unload the goods and set up a stall. I will go home alone to report that everyone is safe."
"That's all we can do." Chen Xiangmei sighed, "I just don't know if we won't go back at night and there will be a commotion in the family home."
Qiu Meiqin: "There's nothing we can do about it. It's our first time in Haicheng and we don't understand anything.
We will know in the future that it will be convenient to follow the army's purchasing vehicle to Haicheng, go to the wholesale market to batch good things, and follow the purchasing vehicle back in the afternoon. Comrade Xiao Qin really thought of a good way for us, and we will do this from now on. "
After hearing her words, the eyes of the military wives instantly brightened, and the dejection around them was swept away.
Feng Xingxing blinked: "Huh? So it can still be like this? I learned, thank you Sister-in-law Qiu!"
Jia Yuanyuan was elated: "Sister-in-law Qiu! You are still smart. This method is very good. Let's do this in the future. It's not bad to ride in the car purchased by the army. You don't have to wait for the shuttle bus."
Liu Ye'er was also very happy: "In the future, we can also take turns to purchase goods. We don't need to go together. This saves time."
Chen Xiangmei smiled: "Okay! I agree with this method. You really don't know until you come out, but as soon as it comes out, our minds are all spinning. Although I am stupid, I can't resist the smart ones, so I will just follow along."
Lu Xiaozhen sighed: "To be smart, Xiao Qin has to be the one. Without her guidance, we wouldn't know anything. We would sit at home all day worrying about three meals a day."
Qiu Meiqin became worried: "Oh no, if we don't go back at night, will someone make things difficult for Xiao Qin?"
Jia Yuanyuan was stunned: "No way! We didn't go back, why did we embarrass Xiao Qin?"
Feng Xingxing looked at her: "You're stupid! If we go out in the morning and don't go back at night, if we don't protect everything, someone will connect our coming to Haicheng to Xiao Qin."
Lu Xiaozhen looked around and said, "Let's go find a place and make a phone call. Which one of you remembers the phone number of the military duty room?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads, but no one remembered.
"It's over." Qiu Meiqin wailed, "If we don't go back, Comrade Chen will definitely add insult to injury and speak ill of Comrade Xiao Qin.
They helped us, but we let others take the blame. This is too heartless. If anything happens to us in the future, will Comrade Xiao Qin still dare to help us? "
Chen Xiangmei also became anxious: "What should we do? We don't know the phone number of the duty room of the army! We have to be more cautious when going out in the future. Remember the phone number of the army. If you need anything, call back. It is more convenient to avoid misunderstandings. .”
Jia Yuanyuan was too worried and didn't care very much: "Probably not! We are in Haicheng, and all the comrades in the army procurement know about it.
If you didn't go back, you must have been caught up in something. What are you doing to cause trouble for Comrade Xiao Qin? It has nothing to do with Comrade Xiao Qin. "
"That's true, but think carefully about what Comrade Chen said this morning. What kind of peace of mind does she have?" Liu Ye'er nudged Jia Yuanyuan with her elbow, "Can she let go of this opportunity?"
Feng Xiaxia's expression turned stern: "If this is really the case, it would be too abominable. We came to Haicheng to pick up the goods and didn't come back. How can we blame Comrade Xiao Qin?"
Lu Xiaozhen raised her hand and pressed it: "Stop arguing and go find a guest house to stay for one night. I suggest that we all live together. We are separated to avoid being targeted by bad people. We should share the room fee equally. Do you have any objections?"
"No."
Everyone answered in unison.
Not to mention, military wives who come out of the army have a somewhat different aura, even if they are from rural areas. After all, they have lived in the army for many years and have more or less acquired the spirit of unity of some soldiers.
Several people took their belongings and went to the guest house next to the passenger terminal. They asked for a larger room and crowded together.
They walked a lot today, and they felt it was very hard. They all bought some steamed buns to fill their stomachs, then fell down and fell asleep.
Everyone is really tired, and they even skip washing. There is no need to pay so much attention when going out.
Have a good sleep, get up tomorrow morning and catch the early bus back to set up a stall. You will get all the goods and start the stall one day earlier to make money.
Only by selling all the goods in hand can we earn back the money for tickets, tickets, meals, and accommodation.
