Chapter 37 Mom, Happy New Year
Chapter 37 Mom, Happy New Year
I sat at the door for five full days thinking about it.Until the fifth day of the lunar new year, Fang Youxuan came to play with me and woke me up.
He said, "Do you want to get a membership card?"
"What loyalty card?" I haven't heard of this thing.
He said: "It means you give them a card with some money in it, and they can provide several services. Like washing the car, it costs 80 yuan per wash. You just give them a card, which can be washed ten times. In this way, you can do it alone. It costs [-] yuan to wash ten times, and you will charge [-] yuan for a card."
I said, "Didn't I earn 20 yuan less?"
He knocked on me and said, "Your family is not the only one who can do laundry on the street. If you don't get a card, people won't come to you to wash it every time. If you have a card and put money with you, of course they will come." .It’s called brand loyalty.”
I suddenly realized and gave him a thumbs up. "Sure enough, it's better to read."
Fang Youxuan's major in university is called marketing, and it is said that he specializes in this.Really learned.
He snorted and said, "This is old for a long time. If you go to the outer city, there are membership cards everywhere. Even the fruit stand in our school has a membership card. If you save enough 100 yuan to spend, you will get ten yuan back." Money in cash. There are other monthly cards, annual cards, unlimited washes within a specified time period. Or point cards, how many washes are enough, and what discounts are provided. Hey, no, then our fruit shop seems to be a point card system. I Damn, I made a mistake."
I:"……"
I feel like I've spent half my life as a car wash for nothing.
I asked Fang Youxuan: "Why don't you do one first?"
He seemed to want to laugh, but also seemed a little speechless, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
I thought about it, but didn't come up with a reason. "I have not decided yet."
He transferred 80 yuan to me on WeChat and said, "Just get a car wash card. You give me a card, and once my dad comes to wash the car, you can cut it once. After ten times, the 80 yuan will be used up." .”
I think he is digging a trap for me.
Every time his motorcycle comes to my house to be washed, I must have an income of 100 yuan after ten washes.
But the last time I asked him to help me buy wine at his house, he gave me a discount of five yuan per catty, so it was considered a courtesy.
I searched around the house and finally found something that could be called a card.an invitation.There are treats everywhere around the Chinese New Year, and [-]% of them are married, and the treats have to be paid by the family members, which is very annoying.
The last time I saw someone getting married on New Year's Day, it was really getting more and more evil.
This invitation is from our wedding next door a few years ago.I looked at it and felt that the words on it were not suitable, so I searched again and found a medicine box.I cut out a piece, wrote "Qibin Auto Repair Factory" on the reverse side, thought for a while, and added "car wash card ten times", and then handed it to Fang Youxuan: "Take this as a card."
Qibin is my dad's name, and that's the name of my car repair shop.
Fang Youxuan took a look at it, smiled, and said, "Okay. Come on, let's use it once today. I have been running around all year round, and the car is dirty. It's time to wash it."
I:"……"
Just say it was a trap dug for me, and let me give you a discount.
I gave him a clean flush of his motorcycle though, and cut it on that card.
In the evening, I told Cai Jing about it.He also felt very fresh when he heard it, and said, "Can our store also do this?"
I helped him think for a while and said, "I think it's okay, you can implement a point system. If you buy enough money in your home, you can send some gifts."
Cai Jing thought about it for a while, and said, "It's really feasible. I'll make an accounting book and write down the amount they spend every time. When they reach 100 yuan, they will give a deck of playing cards, and when they reach 50 yuan, they will give them a roll of toilet paper. Those are all they need. If you can spend [-] yuan, you can choose any gift within [-] yuan in the store. I will find an account book..."
He really got up and went to find the accounting book, saying that it was wind or rain.
I sighed and said, "It's better for them to go to college, they're really smart."
Fang Youxuan and the others came back from college and would come to the town to have fun during the winter vacation.At the beginning, some classmates came to my house to live with me. They were very surprised when they heard that I didn't go to college.Later, maybe because I was afraid that I would feel embarrassed, I stopped coming.
I also feel boring, and feel that there is no topic to talk to them.When they open their mouths, it is school life, or boyfriend and girlfriend.I don't live in school, and I'm already married.Their hazy secret love feelings, the pure love of Lala's little hands, I stopped playing as early as high school.
I had a good relationship with Fang Youxuan before, we lived close together, and now we have business contacts, so we can talk a little more when we meet.
After this exchange with Fang Youxuan, I think I should try to chat more with my classmates who are going to college.They are studying in college outside, so they must be more knowledgeable than me.
So, when Qi Caijing called me and asked if he had time to visit his house, I agreed without saying a word.Because Cai Jing said that if I go, he will ask Fang Youxuan and Sheng Wei again.
Fang Youxuan is so good at only reading two books in our provincial capital city, but Sheng Wei is studying famous brands in Beijing!
The next day, Fang Youxuan came to pick me up on a motorcycle.This time he learned his lesson, put on a hard hat, and gave me one.When I went to pick up Gui Ziyi on the way, I also prepared one for Gui Ziyi.
I usually don't see him wearing a hard hat, but he said: "You have to take care of Cai Jing's feelings."
We went to Cai Jing's house together, and as no surprise, we met He Liqian and Sheng Wei at Cai Jing's house.
Both Gui Ziyi and Sheng Wei have become beautiful!
They may have learned how to make up.
Then we meet Chae Kyung's mother brother and sister.They came out to greet us, and everyone called Cai Jing's mother, "Mom, Happy New Year!"
Cai Jing and I walked at the end, and he suddenly put his hand on my shoulder, not just putting it on, but pressing it with a little force.I know what he means.I trembled in my heart, and I also shouted: "Mom, happy new year."
The voice was very small, and I don't know if she heard it.Because everyone was shouting anyway, and she just responded.It was just a casual greeting, nothing special.
But for us, this is a special form.
I am very nervous.
Cai Jing quietly leaned into my ear and said, "You can speak louder next time."
Cai Jing's mother suddenly looked over.I was startled and quickly moved away from Cai Jing.His mother laughed and said, "This is... classmate Xiao Yu, who is so tall."
I'll go, but you still remember me!
Sheng Wei laughed and said, "Yes, Yu Lu really became famous that time."
Everyone laughed, which shows that everyone is a vengeful person.No one has forgotten that Cai Jing bullied me.
I was a little embarrassed, I lowered my head and said, "You have a really good memory, you still remember me."
Cai Jing's mother smiled and said, "We Xiao Jing was the bully that time. Let him treat you well today."
During the Chinese New Year, as long as there are no spring guests during the Spring Festival, there will definitely be a bunch of unfinished dishes on the eighth day of the lunar new year.Cai Jing's family probably didn't treat any guests, and a banquet was set up soon at noon.
This kind of New Year's banquet is usually a fixed pattern here.At noon there is a whole table of side dishes, all kinds of stewed mei and steamed snacks, such as stewed beef, stewed eggs, stewed bean skin, stewed pig ears, etc. Anyway, basically everything you can think of can be stewed.These are all prepared years ago, and they will be cut out when the guests are greeted next year, and then put out in small plates.Finally, add some green vegetables and soup or other dishes, it depends on the host himself.The staple food does not eat rice, but steams large slices of steamed buns, and then cooks a pot of noodles.
It's very easy to prepare, and basically you can serve it on the table when the guests arrive.
So, we arrived and went straight to dinner.The five of us guests, plus Cai Jing and his younger siblings, were exactly eight people, making up a table for the Eight Immortals.Her mother boiled water in the back kitchen, saying that she would cook the noodles when she was almost done eating.
Everyone chatted while eating, and Cai Jing poured wine for us.His younger brother wanted to drink with us, but Cai Jing knocked off his glass and poured Coke for him.
They all took it for granted that Cai Jing didn't go to university, but they were all curious why I didn't go.Sheng Wei said: "At eleven o'clock I was planning to go and play with Yu Lu, but he actually told me that he didn't sign up, I really..."
I had no choice but to explain to them again, saying that my family had no money and couldn't afford education, so I went to a technical school for short-term training.Then I asked Sheng Wei, how is Beijing, and what to study in computer science.
Everyone says that computer science majors make money, but I have no idea how to make money.The computers in our Internet cafes are all for playing games.
Sheng Wei said: "Beijing is great, but we can't compare with those in the countryside. Do you know that our first course is computer operation, and I don't know anything about it, so most of the students in the class are exempted from it."
Fang Youxuan and Gui Ziyi seemed to share the same feeling, and echoed, "So do we. Computers have long been popularized in the city, and all children know computers from an early age."
I asked: "What do you learn in computer operation class?"
Sheng Wei said: "It is a very simple application of office software. Documents, form processing, slide production, etc."
I don't know anything about it, but Sheng Wei has always been a very nice person. She didn't feel that she was playing the piano with a cow when she told me. Instead, she patiently explained it to me again.
I still don't quite understand why those can make money, but in short, it's right to remember first.
Sheng Wei said: "It doesn't matter how much I say. If you are interested, you can buy a computer and try it yourself. Once you touch it, you can get started."
"Spreadsheet, can you keep accounts?" Cai Jing suddenly asked from the opposite side.
I looked up and found that Cai Jing was looking at us from the opposite side.Although it doesn't look like anything at first glance, I just don't think his expression is right.My heart skipped a beat, and only then did I realize that everyone was quiet and was paying attention to my chat with Sheng Wei.We sat on either side of a table corner, chatting so engrossedly that our heads huddled together.
I almost sat up straight.
Sheng Wei seemed a little happy, looked up and smiled at Cai Jing, and explained to him: "Yes, it is very convenient to keep accounts. The data will be automatically calculated after entering the data."
It dawned on me.This can be used to manage membership points.It really is a good thing!
If Cai Jing looked at me with less gloomy eyes, I would think it was a good thing even more.
After the meal, we played mahjong again. No one came to watch the game during the Chinese New Year, so we gathered a table by ourselves.Me, Sheng Wei, Gui Ziyi and He Ligan were playing on the table.In order to make up for the guilt of repairing me last time, Cai Jing sat next to me and taught me this time.
Listening to him open his eyes and talk nonsense, he just wants to rely on me.I don't even want to tear him down.
Gui Ziyi was playing for Fang Youxuan at the table, and Fang Youxuan was watching her play.Anyway, the money belongs to Fang Youxuan, if he loses it belongs to him, if he wins it belongs to Gui Ziyi.
This is called a man.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that he and Gui Ziyi are back together again.
It's amazing.
They had already broken up, and Fang Youxuan had another girlfriend in his third year of high school.But their colleges are all in the capital city of our province. Although they are not in the same school, it is said that they are still a little far apart, but when they went home during the winter vacation, they ran into each other at the train station in the city while waiting for the bus to go home.
What kind of fate is this!
The two of them felt that this was the arrangement of fate, so they revived again.
I think they really don't know how to restrain themselves.Back then at school because of the uproar, he was beaten up and separated from others. Now, as soon as the old relationship rekindled, he spread dog food widely, without caring about the feelings of the other single dogs present.
People like me and Cai Jing are more considerate, and only when they are wretched and developed can they be cultivated into positive results.
