Going back to the old days of hunting at sea
Chapter 938: Delivering to You Before Lantern Festival
Chapter 938: Delivering to You Before Lantern Festival
“It’s at the Land Bureau next door. I heard him say at lunch that there was a boring event in the afternoon that required a lot of attention.”
“I just went over to take a look, and he came out on his own when he saw me.”
Gao Yiyu pointed to the other side of the courtyard wall.
He said this with a smile, and enthusiastically called Chen Hui and An Wenjing to go upstairs for tea.
It was already a little after four in the afternoon.
It seems very rushed to go up and leave in ten minutes.
If you don’t leave, the host should make your share when soaking rice, and it would be even more inappropriate to stay for dinner.
And the tricycle also needs to be ridden back to the fish and sundry supplies store.
Chen Hui declined politely.
As I walked out of the courtyard of the family building with An Wenjing, I heard a familiar voice asking, “Hey! Young man, would you like to buy some candied haws?”
Chen Hui turned around and took a look.
He is the boss from whom I often buy candied haws.
“It’s you, what a coincidence!”
Chen Hui walked over and greeted him.
I counted the candied haws on his long stick and found that there were still fifteen strings.
“It’s already this late, why are there still so many left unsold?” Chen Hui asked.
After doing business for a long time, you should have an idea of how much goods you ship every day.
Come to think of it, this isn’t the first time that this boss has lost count.
“Today is the Little New Year, and I made a little more because I thought I would buy some for my children.”
“Who knew it would be dark and cold after lunch, and the children wouldn’t go out.”
The boss explained, then smiled and asked Chen Hui, “Would you like to buy a few?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“I want them all. As usual, give me the sticks.” Chen Hui said.
“Okay! Thank you! You always take care of my business.”
“I’ll charge you two less today, and I’ll treat you two.”
The candied haws seller handed the whole straw stick to Chen Hui.
After collecting the money for the thirteen strings of candied haws, he pedaled his bicycle happily home.
“Brother Chen Hui, why are we buying so much?”
An Wenjing found it a little funny to see Chen Hui carrying back a stick of candied haws.
“Not much, just right.”
“I just counted, there are twelve adults and children in my family today.”
“The fish shop owner has two children. When we return the car, each of them gets one.”
“I gave the remaining one to Li Jianshe, and I often borrowed things from him.”
Chen Hui explained and put the long stick into the back of the tricycle.
He returned the tricycle and gave Li Jiankang some candied haws.
“Little guys, Uncle Chen Hui is back from buying you some candied haws!”
Chen Hui walked in carrying a big stick.
Several children were playing in the hall. When they heard the shout, they immediately dropped what they were holding and ran out.
The youngest girl, Nini, couldn’t outrun her three older brothers and was so anxious that she just crawled on the ground.
Chen Hui quickly handed the stick in his hand to An Wenjing.
He picked up the little girl and brushed the dirt off his pants.
I held her and let her choose two first.
“Don’t just open it and eat it, come in and wash your hands first!”
Wang Weiwei chased out and called the children who had received the candied haws to go into the house and wash their hands.
“Don’t eat too much sugar, get ready to eat.”
Wang Yumei, who was lighting the fire, and Chen Huihong, who was cooking in front of the stove, shouted outside in unison.
The whole family huddled together and had a lively New Year’s Eve dinner.
At dawn the next day, Wu Dianhai and Wu Dianyang returned to the county town with their wives and children.
Chen Hui and An Wenjing slept until they woke up naturally.
After a leisurely breakfast, I returned to Chenjia Village.
As soon as An Wenjing got off the car, she couldn’t wait to go to the village to get the notice.
Chen Hui bought two kilograms of rock sugar from his own store. Carrying the sugar, he strolled all the way to Jiang Houfa’s house in the sun.
He and Huang Miao were polishing the side panels of a wooden bed in the yard.
When he saw Chen Hui coming in, his face changed slightly and he stopped moving.
Before Chen Hui could speak, he said:
“You can pick up the rocking chair you ordered in two days, once the last coat of paint has dried.”
“I am busy from now until May next year. If you want to order something, please put it on hold!”
Chen Hui sighed.
He shouted loudly for Huang Lianying to come out.
“Aunt Lian Ying, I’m here to wish you a happy new year. Look at Master Jiang!”
Chen Hui picked up the rock candy in his hand and shook it, pretending to be helpless and complaining.
“What a fool you are. Why do I have to come to your house to find you?”
“It’s possible that Chen Hui is here to look for Huang Miao.”
Chen Lianying said she didn’t want any of the two kilograms of rock sugar.
He stopped Chen Hui’s salute and gave Jiang Houfa a lecture.
“That’s right! I really came here to look for Gou Shun today.” Chen Hui nodded in agreement.
“Then why did you come to see Huang Miao?”
“To make a cabinet!”
Chen Hui grinned, and Jiang Houfa and Chen Lianying were speechless.
“Master Jiang, I am indeed here to make cabinets today, and I am indeed here to look for Huang Miao.”
“I have a store to open and I need to build some new cabinets.”
“As the saying goes, a good teacher produces a good student. Huang Miao has been learning from you for such a long time. Even if he hasn’t learned the essence, he has learned the basics, right?”
“I don’t want to make it like yours, but it should be okay to make a few cabinets, right?”
Chen Hui briefly explained the situation.
Huang Miao answered on the side: “That’s no problem, it’s not easy to make, and it’s very simple to make!”
“Why are you opening another store? Why do you want to open so many stores?” Jiang Houfa said in surprise.
“Tsk! How can you talk like that! This kid has so much potential.”
“Chen Hui has been smart since he was young. I knew at that time that he would have a good life in the future.”
Chen Lianying patted him on the shoulder and quickly added something back.
She never worried about Jiang Houfa’s craftsmanship, and she never felt at ease with his words.
“Huang Miao is on holiday during the Chinese New Year. You don’t need to come from the first to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.”
“You two can discuss it yourselves. I won’t stop you if he does.” Jiang Houfa said.
“Let’s go!” Chen Hui pointed to the door with his thumb.
Huang Miao took the measuring tape next to him, said, “Master, I’ll go for a walk,” and followed Chen Hui.
The two went to the small house in the county town together.
I planned for a while in the store.
The two low cabinets that Lu Jiajia gave me before will be moved upstairs for storage.
The entire store is made of cabinets with uniform height, width and color.
The cabinet shelves on one side are fixed.
The shelves should not be fixed, but should be height-adjustable.
“How do we do that?!”
Jiang Houfa had never done any activities before, and Huang Miao had no ideas for a moment.
After Chen Hui briefly explained it, he understood.
“That’s good. It will be convenient to adjust the things placed later.” Huang Miao said.
The two measured the dimensions together and recorded them one by one.
“Goushun, can you finish it before the Lantern Festival?”
“My store will open on the 16th of the lunar year, so everything must be in place before the Lantern Festival.”
“If that doesn’t work, I’ll go back to Aunt Lian Ying and ask Master Jiang to work overtime with me.”
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he couldn’t help laughing.
“My master is right. You are planning to take advantage of him. You are not a good person.”
Huang Miao complained and said confidently: “Don’t worry, my master won’t ignore it. It’s just a small job, I will deliver it to you two days in advance.”
