With the help of his sixth uncle, Mei Zhonghua quickly found two other great workers. On the day he was going to work for Pang Hai, Li Mingyun tried to get angry with him and called Zhou Jincheng.
"Zhonghua, Chengzi must follow you anyway, you can make arrangements for yourself."
Li Mingyun thought about it. If Mei Zhonghua didn't listen to her arrangements and tried to get angry with him this time, he wouldn't just let him take the people from the Mei family to work. Although Cheng Bin helped Zhou Jincheng find a temporary mason job before, it was not formal after all, and Zhou Jincheng was honest and was often run by others, she would not ignore her as a sister!
"Mingyun... Well, forget it, just let you do it."
Mei Zhonghua couldn't hold back his wife, so he had to lead the group to work in Pang's house.
What the Pang family will build this time is also five main houses with kitchen courtyard walls and gate towers, which gave Mei Zhonghua a budget of 4,000 yuan. The Du's house was built five years ago, and the cost at that time was more than two thousand points, but the Du's house did not build the kitchen door and courtyard wall. The material for the house built by the Pang family is actually two more than the Du family.
Although the current prices are not high, they are definitely higher than five years ago, when Pang Hai sold 4,000 yuan, which is considered normal.
Mei Xiaohua led Zhou Jincheng and others to start construction, and the store was handed over to Li Mingyun to take care of it.
"Ran Ran, your dad can't take care of the business in the store recently, so you can help mom a lot."
"Mom, don't worry, when we opened a store, I was very supportive. Now my dad can't take care of this, I will definitely help you."
On the weekend, Mei Xiaoran accompanied her mother to Fuyuan Town to buy goods. The spring clothing sales have come to an end, and it will be May 1st, taking advantage of the current advancement to seize the summer clothing market.
Reform and opening up is definitely not a slogan!
By 1979, everyone had noticed the changes happening around them. Small merchants and hawkers who had not dared to show up on the streets before also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
There are more shops on the street. What used to be supplied by tickets can now be bought with money. The form of the planned economy has begun to change.
When Mei Xiaoran came to Fuyuan Town with her mother again, she found that there were obviously more merchants and more choices!
Mei Xiaoran knows that although people now yearn for fashion, they dare not ostentatious and can only take a dignified and generous route.
"Mom, let's pick some skirts and short-sleeved shirts."
With her memory of the past, Mei Xiaoran helped
Her mother picked her clothes, and then rode home.
After arriving home, Li Mingyun hung up his clothes in the store to sell. But she was ridiculed by her peers, saying that the Chinese store started selling summer clothes before the end of spring, which was too impatient.
Unexpectedly, before May 1 Labor Day, the weather suddenly became hot. The batch of summer clothes that Li Mingyun entered was on the right track, seizing the market opportunity and selling well.
And Mei Xiaoran's sister and brother also ushered in the midterm exam.
The scale of the monthly exam is definitely not comparable to that of the mid-term exam, but after this period of study, Mei Xiaoran is very confident.
The mid-term exams are scheduled on Saturday and Sunday. Next Tuesday is Labor Day. The school temporarily adjusted to two mid-term exams on Saturday and Sunday. After the exams, they can rest for two consecutive days.
The seven courses were tested in two days, and after the last one, Mei Xiaoran met Ouyang Xun on the way after school.
Ouyang Xun had already put on a white shirt and blue trousers, looking pure and beautiful.
"Ran Ran, this mid-term exam, I believe you will be able to get excellent results."
Mei Xiaoran smiled. She originally thought that Ouyang Xun was going to talk to her again, and asked her about her test results, but she didn't expect this time to change.
"Brother Ouyang, I will definitely do well in English this time. Don't worry."
Hearing her confident answer, Ouyang Xun smiled like a spring breeze.
During the two days of vacation, Mei Xiaoran went to the store to help.
When her father repaired the Pang family's house to the point where it was most important, he couldn't leave the store alone, and her mother really couldn't be too busy alone.
Mei Xiaoran gave her mother the idea of buying one, get one free, but this time only a handkerchief was given. Although a handkerchief is not worth a lot of money, it is better for the budget-conscious people.
Business has started to become hot again, which is close to the pomp of years ago.
In the past two days, I sold summer clothes for more than 3,000 yuan, with a net profit of 500 or 600 yuan. For Zhonghua Store, this is already the best business since the beginning of the spring.
"Mom, let me give you a suggestion. Don't stare at Fuyuan Town next time you buy goods. The clothes wholesaled in Fuyuan Town are a bit old-fashioned. If you want more exotic clothes, get them from Wuhan."
Li Mingyun's eyes lit up, "You mean Hankou?"
Wuhan is known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces. Since ancient times, it has convenient transportation and developed economy. It was this year that the small commodity wholesale market was restored on Hanzheng Street in Hankou. And the Central Plains Province was originally the same as the Lake Province
Adjacent, change the source of purchase to Hanzheng Street, which Mei Xiaoran thinks is a reliable channel.
Li Mingyun showed a look of yearning, but she herself had never been to Wuhan, so she retreated a little.
"Mom, should I take two days off to accompany you to Wuhan?"
"How can it work? If your study is delayed for the sake of business, I would rather not do this business!"
This is the first time Li Mingyun feels that a girl is not sensible.
She and Mei Zhonghua worked hard, not just for these two children? If the children don’t know how to make progress in their studies, what is the purpose of their busy life
Mei Xiaoran blushed embarrassedly, "Mom, I just said casually, if you don't agree, then you need to wait a few more days. It is estimated that we will have a wheat vacation in two weeks."
Li Mingyun's expression eased, "Then wait for your holiday."
After the holiday, the results of the mid-term exam were also down.
Mei Xiaoran was ranked third in the class and seventh in the grade this time, while her brother Mei Xiaolei was in the top three in the grade. What made Mei Xiaoran even more exasperated was that she actually got 85 points in English in this mid-term exam. She was among the best in the class, and she also slapped some classmates in the face!
After the results were announced, Mei Xiaoran told Qi Lin in front of the class, "The results of the exam have been announced. Go and call your sister. I don’t mind if she apologizes to me in front of the class. ."
Qi Lin turned pale with anger, and said bitterly, "Mei Xiaoran, don't be proud, I don't believe you can do well in the exam every time!"
"Don't be wordy, and quickly call your sister to apologize to me."
Mei Xiaoran spoke domineeringly, showing a proud expression.
Qi Lin stomped her feet with anger and ran out of the classroom.
In order to wait for this day, Mei Xiaoran has spent two months studying hard, she just hopes that this day will come!
As a result, when school was over in the afternoon, I didn't see Qi Yao coming. Mei Xiaoran even ran to ask Qi Lin, "Where's your sister? Why do you hide from seeing people?"
"My sister said she will definitely come!"
Qi Lin was depressed and wanted to vomit blood. Who would have thought that Mei Xiaoran would be so good on the exam this time
In this mid-term exam, Mei Xiaoran is not only improving in English, it can be said that all subjects are improving. With this momentum, the gap between the two of them will only widen!
As a member of the study committee, Qi Lin, how could it be possible for a Chinese class representative to surpass
