"Sister-in-law, you’re back."
Did you come back after restocking?
There were very few customers today.
Lanhua and Xinxin came to help set prices and saw quite a few new items.
This batch of goods is even prettier.
However, the two had been in the Capital City for several days and were no longer as flustered and shocked as before.
By the time they finished all this work, it was already past mealtime.
"You two go eat first."
Xiaoxiao told them to eat after they tidied everything up.
She gave them a meal subsidy of one yuan each per day, which was not a low price.
This morning, there were not many customers in the shop, so they were not very busy.
After they left, Xiaoxiao bought a small display cabinet to store important items in the shop and displayed a few watches, intending to try selling them.
If they sold well, she would continue.
When the two returned from eating noodles and saw an additional cabinet in the shop with items displayed inside,
"A cabinet was just delivered, and I also brought in a few watches from Hong Kong to try selling them..."
Lanhua and Xinxin crowded in for a look and saw several exquisite watches arranged inside the cabinet.
"Sister-in-law, they’re beautiful."
But they were shocked by the price, although it did seem to be the actual price of watches.
Xiaoxiao looked at the watches, noting that the profit from these watches was higher.
A vintage, luxurious, and artistic small watch, with a leather strap, coffee-colored.
An antique waterproof quartz watch with a rose gold band, this one was more expensive.
"This watch is waterproof, so it’s naturally more expensive."
Xiaoxiao continued, "I’ll tell you about their advantages. Apart from this cheaper watch, which isn’t very waterproof, all of these watches are water-resistant. You don’t need to worry about them stopping if they get wet when washing your hands, and they also come with a spare battery."
"Do you want watches? I can ask around to see if there are any cheaper ones?"
Both of them instantly showed surprised delight on their faces and chorused, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Thank you, sister-in-law."
Nowadays, buying such large items required money, but these money were really hard to come by. Even workers could work for several years without getting a single watch voucher. If it were converted to industrial coupons, one would need to save for at least a year to buy a watch.
"This key is for this cabinet." Xiaoxiao handed them the key to the cabinet.
After all, these watches were indeed expensive.
The keys to the shop door were also different.
"I have two classes this afternoon, so I’m heading off now."
"Sister-in-law, have a good day."
After Xiaoxiao left, Lanhua sighed, "Sister-in-law is really busy."
"Yeah, she has to restock, give lessons, and pick up the kids."
Xinxin thought back to the past, when many aunts in the village said sister-in-law was lazy.
Because her family lived not too far from her father-in-law’s house.
She grew up watching sister-in-law marry Third Brother.
When sister-in-law first arrived in the countryside, she immediately became the prettiest girl in their brigade. It wasn’t long before she heard from her mother that Third Brother was going to marry the most beautiful Educated Youth.
Even though sister-in-law hardly did any farming work after getting married,
She knew that the parcels and money sent by her mother’s family were enough for sister-in-law to live on.
Thinking of the house now, the money for it was given by her parents’ family.
Her parents really treated sister-in-law very well.
"Xiao Rou, I heard there is a new jewelry store near our school. The pearl hair clip you bought earlier was beautiful, but when I went to the place you mentioned, I didn’t see it for sale."
