The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

After discussing it, the two decided to rent the shop at the corner. Although the shop was a bit small, the location was not bad.Compared with the other big shops, that shop has a small shop and the rent is relatively cheap.

They don't have much money on hand. If they run out of money in the front, they will have no capital support in the future, which will affect the opening of the store.So at this time, the money can be saved as much as possible, and they still have to consider the opening of the store later.

This time when he went out, Qiao Minglang brought all the money he left for his younger siblings to study and eat.

Qiao Mingshan has been working at a relative's house in the town these years, and he was an apprentice for the first two or three years, but he had no money to take it.In the next two years, I can get wages, and the wages I get are not much. The little wages I get every month are all given to my family, and I don’t keep any of them.This time, the money he took with him when he went out was from his parents who gave him some money as capital, and asked him to follow his little cousin to the city.

They don't have much financial support, what they have is the money they have in hand.

This is why Qiao Mingshan is so anxious to open the store. Only by opening the store will he not be unable to spend every day.He still has a wife, children and parents to support, which is not an easy burden for him.

The two brothers are not procrastinators in doing things, since they have made a decision, they will do it.

After looking at so many shops, the two decided to rent the shop here, so Qiao Mingshan went out to talk to the landlord about the rent.After the two parties negotiated, they signed a one-year contract. They paid a deposit and monthly rent, and officially rented the shop.

"Our shop is a bit small, but the place is good. If you have anything to do, come to me, and I'll go back first." The landlord took the money and the contract, didn't stay any longer, and left with his things.

"Ms. Zhang, go slowly. We will open here in a few days. Sister Zhang will come over to eat noodles when she is free."

"Okay, I will definitely come then."

Qiao Mingshan sent the landlord out, and turned back to stand in this small shop with his cousin.

The white ash on the walls of the shop seemed to be peeling off a bit. The shop was not big, and four tables could be placed inside. There was a place for the door, and two or three tables could be placed.

The two brothers rented this facade, but there was nothing inside.

But looking at this place, Qiao Mingshan felt a sense of energy in his heart. Looking at the whitewashed walls, he said: "I think this wall needs to be repainted, and I can do it. I will buy the materials later. , it can be done in half a day.”

"When the time comes, we'll go around here to see where we can buy tables and chairs, as well as stoves, pots and pans, and we have to buy them all. We'll see if we can do it in the past two days, and we can start our business."

After such an accounting, I found that there are quite a lot of things to buy.

They open a stall in their hometown, and they can get everything from home, basically they don’t need to buy too many things, but here they have to buy everything.Everything has to be bought, which means more money will be spent. This puts a lot of pressure on Qiao Mingshan. They only have a small amount of money in their hands, and it will be gone if they run out of money.

"Well, okay, let's go shopping first, and we'll tidy up here when we come back." Qiao Minglang smiled and nodded, feeling happy that they had taken a big step.He believed that in a long time, they would be able to operate the shop.

They found a shop in the morning, and it was past noon before they knew it. The two found a place to solve the problem of lunch.

In the past, he followed his boss to the city several times, and went to the building materials market several times. Qiao Mingshan took his little cousin to the building materials market by car, found an acquaintance he knew before, and bought a few barrels from him at a low price. Paint for walls.The two carried the things they bought, and then hitch a ride back to the shop they rented.

Painting the wall is not simply to paint on it, but to peel off the original damaged wall, and then paint on it with new paint.

"Go away, I'll knock these things down first." Qiao Mingshan has done these jobs before and knows how to do them, but it's just a job of painting a few walls, and they didn't hire anyone. He did it by himself. Can do it.

Qiao Minglang didn't know much about these things, so he helped his cousin to deliver things, and the two brothers got busy.

***

At this time, Zhou Xing had already returned to his own apartment.

Three months ago, he moved into the apartment he now lives in.It's just that it's a bit far away from the school he's studying at now. He doesn't want to run around every day, so he simply lives in the school.

After leaving for half a month and coming back, this place is no different from when he left. The house will be cleaned regularly by servants, and the inside is clean.

"Jingle - jingle -"

Hearing the doorbell, someone will come to ring his doorbell at this time, not all the people sent by the family to look for him.

The people outside kept ringing the doorbell as if they knew there was someone in the house.

"Oh!"

A punch hit the sandbag, and the sandbag was shaking.

"Damn! Who, it's so endless!" Cursed in a low voice, Zhou Xing lowered his head and bit off the gloves on his hands, grabbed the towel on the sofa, and wiped his face and body. Khan, go and open the door.

"Young Master." When the people outside saw their young master coming to open the door, they put out a flattering smile on their faces.

"Come in, what's the matter with you running over?"

Zhou Xing glanced at this person, went into the room, took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid, drank half of the can, threw the remaining half of the can on the table, and sat on the sofa. down.

"Young master, tomorrow is Madam's birthday, the master asked me to invite you back to dinner." Wu San followed the young master into the house, it was not the first time he came to the place where the young master lived.

But seeing such a palm-sized place, and comparing the mother and son living in a big villa with so many servants accompanying them, he felt aggrieved for their young master.

"That woman's birthday is her birthday, so what does it matter to me?" Zhou Xing snorted, thinking it was funny, and asked Wu San, "Do you still think I should go back and celebrate her birthday?"

Speaking of which, the wife of the Zhou family is not his biological mother, and Zhou Xing has never called that woman a mother.As early as seven years ago, his parents divorced. His little stepmother carried her son into Zhou's house and was successfully promoted to Mrs. Zhou.

And his mother immigrated abroad after the divorce, and it is said that she remarried within two years.Anyway, Zhou Xing never saw his own mother again, and the mother and son never met again.

Even if that woman walked in with her son in her arms, she still couldn't shake his status as the young master of the Zhou family.But that woman couldn't move him, and there were plenty of ways to disgust him.That woman pretended to be a white lotus in front of people, and wanted the son she had taught. Both the mother and the son were very good at pretending.

This time, he was tricked by that woman and had a falling out with his own father. Zhou Xing moved out to live outside in a rage, so as not to face the mother and child every day. He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't strangle him to death. them.

"Eldest young master, I'm not talking about you, why do you have to be as knowledgeable as them... No matter how hard the second wife and the young master struggle, you can't change the fact that you are the young master of the Zhou family." Wu San stood on the side of their young master. On the other hand, as long as their young master is still the young master of the Zhou family, the second wife and the young master will not be able to surpass their young master.

The second lady looked soft and weak, and was kind to everyone, but he felt that the second lady was just doing a good job on the surface.The young master who was taught by the second lady was arrogant and unreasonable at a young age, pretending to be innocent and cute in front of the master, and punching and kicking them.

If you want him to say, what kind of mother will teach what kind of son.

It's not as good as the young master he followed. The young master looks difficult to get along with, but he never knows how to play tricks. Black is black, and white is white. White.

Wu San didn't know what to say, the master of his family always loved the second wife and the young master, and loved the young master in every possible way.When facing the young master, the nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes. When the young master is at home, the father and son often quarrel.

Now the young master doesn't live in the house, only the second wife and the young master live there, and the family is quite peaceful.

"Eldest young master, you don't want to see the second wife and the young master... You always have to go back to see the old man. The old man even asked me about you, young master, and why you haven't come home for so long. I said you were studying at school. It's not a holiday yet." The old man Wu San said is the grandfather of Young Master Zhou, and the person who is actually in power in the Zhou family.

In fact, their young master was in school during this time and was taken to military training.He saw that their young master was much tanned than before.

"Got it, I'll go back tomorrow." Zhou Xing raised his hand to cover his eyes, and his Adam's apple moved up and down.Looking up and seeing Wu San still sitting there, he waved his hand and started to chase people away, "You don't have to run around, I'll go by myself tomorrow, you leave the car outside to me."

"How can the young master do this? You haven't arrived yet, and you don't have a driver's license, so you can't drive." Wu San refused to hand over the keys to the car. If something happened to their young master, he wouldn't be able to apologize even if he died, " Eldest young master, I will drive to pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Get out!" Zhou Xing picked up the glove at hand and threw it at him, telling people to get out.

Wu San took the glove thrown by their young master, put it on the sofa, said "Master, I'm leaving", and then rolled away gorgeously, and closed the door of the house incidentally when going out.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Zhou Xing sat in the room without moving for a long time.

Thinking of those people and things at home made him feel upset. If possible, he would rather stay outside than go back to that home.

For him, it was no longer his home...
