The next day, Xiao Ming woke up from the tranquility and looked at the furnishings in the room. It took a while before she came back to her senses. This was Pingcheng's new house.
"Yeah." Xiao Ming sat up and stroked her head with her hands. She felt her head was a little heavy and her whole body was weak.
She seemed to have drank last night.
He seemed drunk.
It seems that he also talked to Shi Tingyu...
What did she say?
Xiao Ming stroked her forehead and tried hard to recall what happened last night, but her increasingly groggy head kept her from remembering for a long time. She could only remember vague images and what she seemed to have said?
Thinking of the sporadic scenes, Xiao Ming couldn't believe it again.
I really hope she didn't do anything outrageous last night.
Suddenly, Xiao Ming touched something with her finger and took it off easily.
It is a wooden hairpin, polished very smoothly, with finely carved gold and silver flowers on it. The flowers are intertwined and overlapped like a cluster of blooming honeysuckle bushes.
It was Shi Tingyu's birthday gift to her.
Still hollow.
Xiao Ming looked at this hairpin and couldn't calm down for a long time. It was a gift from Shi Tingyu and was made by herself. What does it mean when a man carefully creates a jewelry for a woman?
She knows but doesn't seem to know.
Also, what did she do last night?
Thinking of the images that floated through her memory, it was too painful to look back on the past, so how could she meet people.
One misstep will lead to eternal regret!
After leaving the room, Xiao Ming was still thinking about how to face Shi Tingyu's problem, but when she arrived in the front yard, she was informed that Shi Tingyu had returned to Liujia Village last night.
Scared away by her enthusiasm?
After breakfast, everyone in Liujia Village also set off back to the village; as the New Year was approaching, everyone had a lot of things going on at home, and it was impossible to stay in the city forever.
Xiao Ming was always depressed, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Did she really scare Shi Tingyu away?
Ran away in the dark all night?
This conclusion made Xiao Ming feel depressed for several days, deliberately avoiding any news from Liujiacun; moreover, she was not ready to see Shi Tingyu again. How could she face him after the night that happened? ?
She doesn’t have such a face! !
Xiao Ming, who was depressed, also gave up her thoughts and concentrated on staying at home to prepare for the New Year. She read books every day, taught Xiao Yu homework, and taught Yunling and Bai Xiaoyu medical skills. Her days were comfortable and leisurely.
Mother Yi is also very busy, preparing for the New Year, buying new year's goods, decorating the house, cutting window grilles and hanging lanterns! The Song family started a new life since they entered the city. They were busy visiting friends every day. The people they visited were like the Jiang family. Every day they either went to the Jiang family as a guest or the Qin family visited the Xiao family.
The two are so good that they are like old best friends who have been together for decades.
Song's intentional contact, Qin's thoughts are clear at a glance; Xiao Ming, hehe, good things are about to happen for the Xiao family.
This day is the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Xiao Ming finally went out and went to inspect the seed shop. Thinking about how many times she, the boss behind the scenes, had gone to the shop, she could count them on one hand. She was really carefree.
Mainly lazy.
As the New Year's Eve countdown begins, all the shops on South Street open their doors early to welcome customers. Every shop is crowded with customers buying new year goods. The scene can be described as hot, but Xiao Ming's seed shop is a trend in South Street. Qingliu, it's quiet inside, not a single customer.
No one came in to shop, but occasionally one or two passers-by craned their necks to inquire about the store, probably wondering why the store was so deserted.
Five or six clerks in the shop were standing around the counter. Two clerks from the West Street store, Liu Xiaoming and Liu Tiesheng, were also gathered here. Five pairs of eyes invariably turned to the girl who was looking at the account book at the counter.
The girl is not old, even younger than them, but her identity is completely different from them.
It would be a lie to say they were not nervous. The teenagers endured the throbbing and excitement in their hearts and watched nervously, waiting for the result.
Perhaps the sentence awaits them. When business is so bad, can they still stay here and continue working...
In a short period of time, countless bad thoughts flashed through the minds of these guys, some were anxious and some were lucky, and each one was a torment...
Xiao Ming stood at the counter and looked through this year's books. The business of the seed shop was not good, and it could be described as bleak. Except for the big sales in the first three months of opening, which made money, there were very few sales in the rest of the time.
All the seeds in the seed shop are more than a penny more than those in other stores, so business will drop after the initial promotion. These are situations that Xiao Ming has foreseen; the shop on West Street is losing money, but South Street is barely keeping the same. .
Right, flat.
When she looked through the account books, she found that the shop had a fixed monthly income.
"Whose income does this belong to?" Xiao Ming asked Ming Sheng.
"Girl, there are several wealthy families in the city who send people to buy grain every month." Ming Sheng explained. He looked more mature after working in the seed shop, and his face had a calmness and stability that was inconsistent with his age.
Ming Sheng replied, feeling a little relieved. Because with these regular customers, the shops on South Street were not as miserable as those on West Street.
Xiao Ming was discouraged. Although she repeatedly emphasized that this was growing food and raised the price, she couldn't bear to buy it if she had money and no place to use it. She had no control over other people's mouths.
Xiao Ming closed the account book and looked at the several clerks standing in a row. Whether the shop was losing money or making money didn't mean much to Xiao Ming. For her, a person with a cheating device, she lacked the most. It’s food.
When the shop on South Street opened, the two newly hired waiters trembled and lowered their heads under Xiao Ming's gaze, not daring to look at their employer.
The boss is going to settle accounts in the future. The business in the shop is not good. Is the boss planning to resign? Ming Sheng was a member of the Xiao family and would not be dismissed, but they would not be so lucky.
To be honest, ten thousand of them don't want to be dismissed like this. The work here is free, the time is abundant, and the wages are high. More importantly, shopkeeper Yi is a good person and never beats or scolds them.
Working here makes them feel like human beings.
Where could they find such a good job away from here?
The boss must not quit them! They will definitely work harder and work harder for their employers.
Liu Xiaoming and Liu Tiesheng were not in a hurry. They came in through the back door anyway. Their family had a good relationship with the Xiao family and they would not worry about being fired. Unlike Liu Xiaoming, who was confident, Liu Tiesheng had a guilty look on his face.
"I can understand that the sales this year are not good. I know that everyone has worked hard and worked hard. I would like to thank you for your efforts." Xiao Ming showed the momentum of giving a speech in her previous life and continued seriously: "I hope Everyone can continue to work in the new year and work together to carry forward the Seed Shop. I hope that the Seed Shop can bloom everywhere in our new moon, and everyone can become outstanding talents in the future."
Xiao Ming was silent, looking at the few guys in front of him who were shocked by him.
~~
There should be applause here.
What's your expression like?
Didn't I say it well enough?
Really~~, uncivilized ancients!
The two new guys became excited after the initial shock. Will the boss fire them? That's great.
They will definitely work harder and serve their club.
As for the owner's great wishes, they are too ambitious.
Ashamed.
Xiao Ming quickly ended the chicken-and-duck lecture, appeased people, gave them double their monthly money and let them go home for the New Year. Xiao's seed shop also closed down.
Sure enough, giving speeches is not suitable for her! Not even if times have changed.
So sad, the silver needle suits her best. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Good Doctor", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find close friends~
