The New Year is coming and everyone is in a festive mood. Business here is also very good. All the ingredients prepared yesterday have been sold out.

They were closing up their stall and giving all the space to Liu Ying and his friends.

Liu Ying's mother was very enthusiastic when she saw Zheng Juzi.

Yesterday she suddenly called Song Xing away and she was left managing the stall by herself, feeling busy and a little uncomfortable.

During the Chinese New Year, the price went up and a bowl of lard rice and radish soup could be sold for 3 cents, so she could earn to yuan a day. She couldn't make that much money in previous years, and she felt sad just thinking about it since she was not the boss.

If she wasted half a day, she would lose money. What was so important at home? She was left alone to run the stall, fearing that she would be shortchanged. Unexpectedly, she finally managed to get through it.

Song Xing and Luo Cheng didn't think it was important to waste half a day making money. Their focus was to protect the safety of the two little girls, and selling snacks was just a part-time job.

We agreed before we started working that we must be there when we are needed. That is the real work.

After finding out what happened that night, Liu Ying's mother also felt that the other party was being too bullying. Who would move house and smash things?

There are few men in Juzi's family, so they need help from others. Not to mention Song Xing and Luo Cheng, her own family can only survive with the help of the two sisters.

She didn't know about this yesterday, but now that she knew, she had to go to show off her strength, so she was very enthusiastic towards Zheng Juzi. When the white rice was gone, she scooped a bowl of carrot soup for her and said, "Auntie, there's nothing good here, just drink the soup to quench your thirst."

Zheng Juzi felt a little cold as soon as she sat down, and she felt much more comfortable after drinking a bowl of hot soup.

"Aunt Qin, you have good business today."

Liu Ying's mother smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. She said, "Business is good. We cooked more rice today than yesterday, but it's all sold out now."

Zheng Juzi asked: "Where is Brother Song Xing?"

Liu Ying's mother continued to smile and said, "Just now, the lady selling eggs over there said she wanted to introduce a girl from her family to him, and he took a look at her."

Zheng Juzi stared in surprise and asked, "Isn't this too hasty?"

Liu Ying's mother rubbed her apron around her waist vigorously, sat down next to her and said, "You are still young and don't understand these things. It's like this when dating. If you like her, it's fine. If not, there's no need to give gifts for such a temporary meeting."

If country people like a couple, they will give a red envelope directly to indicate that the matter is settled. If they don't like the couple, they will usually give a bag of sugar to indicate that the matter is settled.

Of course, you don't need to give gifts to the people who are looking at the stalls on the roadside.

Zheng Juzi's curiosity was burning, and she really wanted to go and see it - but unfortunately, she was the boss and had to behave herself because she was small.

So the conversation returned to Liu Ying. The Liu family saved several hundred yuan from the sale of the last batch of socks. Combined with the money from making and selling the head flowers before, if this batch of head flowers were also sold, the family could save more than 4000 yuan.

That's a lot of money in this day and age.

Although reform and opening up have been going on for many years, due to past events, everyone is still skeptical about letting go and doing business, especially in small places like Dongji Town, where people are waiting and watching before taking action.

There are many people with ideas but few taking actions, so it is said that setting up stalls is the most profitable at this time.

The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. The wind is very strong.

But Liu Ying's mother was thinking: "The family had no other choice but to let the child set up a stall. I'm afraid that kidnappers will kidnap him with so many people coming and going."

"Juzi, you have an idea. I thought that if we sell all her socks, our family will not be short of money. We can rent a house and live a good life in the city.

After the Chinese New Year, her brother will also take the entrance exam to junior high school, and he will try to get into No. 6 Middle School. Then, they can study with peace of mind, and I can find more work to cover their daily expenses so that they won't be delayed in their studies. Is that okay?"

Although she was just helping someone, Liu Ying's mother no longer felt it was embarrassing to set up a stall. Even if Song Xing didn't hire her in the future, she could still find a job. She could also go to the county town to wholesale things and sell them in the town.

She is a mother. It is true that she had thought about finding a reliable man before, but now that man is gone, she can no longer put all the burden of the family on her daughter.

Zheng Juzi used to suggest that she should listen to her daughter if she hadn't thought it through. Now that she has made up her mind, she also wants to listen to Zheng Juzi's advice.

Zheng Juzi said: "It's good."

"But you can also ask Liu Ying for her opinion."

Liu Ying's mother nodded, "Of course."

At that time, there were few shops and few types of goods. People just followed the trend and sold whatever others were selling. However, there were many people shopping, so even if there was more than one store selling socks, it did not affect Liu Ying's good business.

Especially since her price sign was there, almost everyone would pay two yuan to buy five pairs.

The Liu Ying siblings cooperated very well in delivering the goods and collecting the money. Zheng Juzi did not go to help, but just watched from the side.

Liu Ying has grown up faster than she imagined. She no longer needs someone to hold an umbrella for her and can walk side by side with others.

Although he hadn't come up with any good ideas after thinking for a long time, Zheng Juzi didn't force himself. At this time, the pace of many things was very slow, so there was no need to be so anxious.

Zheng Jinpeng made a fuss about the move yesterday, so I feel relaxed today and everything is good.

Prepare dinner and wait until tomorrow to celebrate the Little New Year comfortably.

It gets dark early in winter, and when Zheng Guixiang rides his bicycle home, there is only a little bit of light reflected by the snow outside.

There was a nylon woven bag hanging on the back seat of Zheng Guixiang's bicycle, which seemed to be filled with a lot of things.

"What did you buy that took you so long?" Mu Xiaoyun asked as she helped him unload the things from the bicycle.

Zheng Guixiang exhaled hot air and said, "They are all treasury bonds."

"What?"

“They are all Treasury bills.”

Zheng Juzi looked at the big bag and asked in confusion: "Why are there so many? Dad, didn't you say it was a few thousand yuan?"

Zheng Guixiang smiled and said, "Don't you have a way to exchange money? I told a few companies and they are all willing to give treasury bonds."

After a pause, he said as if he had made a fortune: "They are all exchanged at a 40% discount."

He will be able to earn 40% next year. Just thinking about this, Zheng Guixiang feels that he has made a fortune from the trading he did today.

"Juzi, contact that guy named Gu and see when you can get definite news."

Although she was planning to "cheat her father" next year, wouldn't she be a fool not to take advantage of such a good opportunity? Zheng Juzi said nervously: "Dad, who can give accurate information before the news is announced?

I thought you were only planning to collect a few thousand dollars in payment before coming up with this idea. If you collect so much at once, it won't have any impact if you don't redeem it until the second half of next year, right?"

Zheng Guixiang thought about it. The meat processing plant was already under construction, and it was uncertain how much money it would cost. He was not happy at first, "Isn't this just tying up the money?"

Mu Xiaoyun was a little annoyed: "Who can you blame for this? You told us that it was only a few thousand yuan. It doesn't matter if it's a month earlier or later. You suddenly exchanged all the payment for the goods into treasury bonds. What do you think you should do?"

Zheng Guixiang thought about it and realized that there was no other solution. "Since pork prices are high recently, I will kill a few more pigs before the New Year."
