Chapter 323 Chen Shuning takes Liu Zhongyu to set up a stall to make money
Jiang Heping tilted his head, looking at the photos of Chen Shuning and Chen Jiawang in the newspaper, and whispered: "The emergence of a golden phoenix in the countryside... is inseparable from the help of Comrade Guo Junshan..."
Chen Shuning's cheeks turned slightly red and her ears felt hot.
"Shuning, you're being interviewed by a reporter and you dare to mention Guo Junshan? Hahahaha... How's that any different from publicly confessing your feelings? You're so brave."
Chen Shuning turned a deaf ear to Jiang Heping's question, his eyes fixed on the newspaper: "Reporter, move forward. Towards the distance, move forward."
She raised her head, looked at Xiang Yuanfang, who was absorbed in the novel, and asked, "Yuanfang, do you know reporter Xiang?"
"Yes, that's my cousin." He leaned his head out from the distance and looked down at Chen Shuning: "My sister told me to find a chance to give you the newspaper so that you can keep it as a souvenir.
I was not convinced! We were only one point apart, you were in the newspapers, and I could only watch. Now I am convinced, you are indeed better than me."
They used their lunch break to tutor Liu Zhongyu. Xiang Yuanfang clearly realized the gap between her and Chen Shuning.
"Chen Shuning, don't be proud. I will try my best to catch up with you."
His attention returned to the novel, and he exclaimed into the distance, "How could someone write such a wonderful story?"
Chen Shuning picked up the wine-red headband, put it in Xiang Yuanfang's cabinet, and urged, "Yuanfang, hurry up and read it. I haven't read it yet!"
"Squeak..."
The dormitory door opened and Mi Qiaolan appeared outside. She walked in dejectedly, holding a bag of apples in her hand.
Chen Shuning walked to the desk and put the hairpins into the cardboard box with Liu Zhongyu.
"Shuning, how do I price these things?" Liu Zhongyu asked softly, "I have no experience. Can you teach me?"
"Boom-"
Throwing her bag heavily on the bed, Mi Qiaolan complained, "Why didn't you tell me when Meng Zhujun would be discharged from the hospital? I made this trip for nothing."
"We don't know." His eyes fell on Mi Qiaolan, and Liu Zhongyu explained: "After the instructor arrived at the hospital, we returned. No one told us when she would be discharged."
A punch hit the cotton, Mi Qiaolan snorted coldly and turned her head away.
"Mi Qiaolan, I advise you to focus on your studies!" Jiang Heping took out his textbook and said softly, "Your performance in the last exam was not ideal."
"What's it to you?" Mi Qiaolan suddenly stood up, grabbed her bag and walked out: "I have to study at noon every day, and I have to sleep even if you don't. It's annoying!"
"A dog bites Lu Dongbin, unaware of a good heart. Bah..."
The dormitory suddenly became quiet. Chen Shuning picked up the cardboard box and said to Liu Zhongyu, "Zhongyu, find a piece of clean cloth. I'll go out with you to set up the stall."
"Shuning, I'll go with you." Jiang Heping grabbed a book, held it in his arms, and quickly caught up.
The lush green lawn has lost its former luster, and dead grass is mixed in. The scenery is a bit more desolate than in summer.
Even the cool breeze couldn't dampen the students' enthusiasm, and the lawn was filled with people. The sounds of singing and reading filled the air, and from time to time, the sound of an accordion could be heard, as if someone was practicing.
"Head flower, the most fashionable head flower!"
"Hairpins, made in the south, cheap and good-looking..."
"The quantity is limited and the price is affordable, first come first served!"
Chen Shuning made trumpet shapes with his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Liu Zhongyu mustered up her courage and shouted loudly, "Don't miss it, first come, first served." She wanted to correct her timidity as soon as possible and not always rely on Chen Shuning.
Jiang Heping sat aside, reading a book with great interest. Dark shadows flashed by and noisy sounds interrupted her thoughts.
Looking up, she saw herself surrounded by a group of female comrades, whose chattering gave her a headache.
"how much is this?"
"I want this, don't fight with me."
"Classmate, do you still have the headband she took? I want it too."
"Classmate, I want three, you are cheaper."
"..."
Chen Shuning greeted with a smile: "Senior sister, don't worry, I will get you a new one right away."
"Classmate, the cards are ten cents each, so if you have three, it's twenty-five cents."
"Senior, that kind of hairpin is sold out. How about you wait a few days and I can get some more? There are still many styles in the box. I can recommend them to you."
Liu Zhongyu followed suit, smiling and enthusiastically recommending: "Classmate, do you like this one?"
Jian Wenyi picked up two hair ties and looked up to ask, "Classmate, how much are the hair ties?"
"One and a half cents each, and I'll give you a plain hairband as well."
In the chaos, Chen Shuning freed his hands, took out the mirror from the box and placed it on the stall.
"You can try on the hair ornaments and hairpins. I have a mirror here. If you like them, pay for them."
Jian Wenyi burst out laughing and said, "You're quite good at business. I want these two hairbands. Do you have any delicate hairpins? I want to give them to my elders."
Chen Shuning asked with a smile: "Senior sister, how old is the other person? Does he have long or short hair?"
"Yeah, early fifties, shoulder-length hair."
Chen Shuning rummaged through the box, and after a moment, he took out a few hairpins and placed them in front of Jian Wenyi.
"These are a bit pricey, only 30 cents each. But the quality is very good, the styles are novel, and you can't buy them anywhere else."
These hairpins were very exquisite, no worse than those in department stores, and much cheaper. Jian Wenyi picked up one of them, took out fifty cents and handed it to Chen Shuning.
"Senior, wait a moment. I'll help you put it together so it looks better when you give it to someone else."
Chen Shuning always had a smile on her face, and her attitude was more sincere and enthusiastic than those salespeople outside.
Jian Wenyi was impressed by her and asked with a smile: "Classmate, do you come here to set up a stall every day? Our friends also like these little things, and I want to bring them here."
Chen Shuning raised her eyes, remembering Jian Wenyi's appearance in her heart, and introduced her enthusiastically, "Senior, I'm here to help a classmate. Her name is Liu Zhongyu, and she'll come over to set up a stall when she's not busy. You can also go to the dormitory to find her. We live in Room 419, Building ."
"Okay, I'll remember it!"
"Comrade, do you have any more headbands? I don't like bright colors. Do you have any other styles?"
Liu Zhongyu smiled and replied, "If there's a plaid model, I'll get it for you." The deal wasn't big, but it gave her great courage. From today on, her life would get better and better.
Jiang Heping looked at the empty cardboard box and raised his head. There were only a few hairpins left on the bench. He said, "Selling out so fast? I might as well sell hairpins too!"
The smile on his lips faded, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. Then he thought, the school is so big, even if Jiang Heping joins, the impact won't be that big. Liu Zhongyu figured out the key point and said with a smile, "Okay! Why don't the three of us do business together?"
"I'm just kidding!" Jiang Heping said with a smile, "Zhongyu, don't take it seriously. You need this opportunity more than I do. I won't snatch it from you."
"Heping, Shuning, I'm serious. There are so many people in school. If the three of us set up stalls separately, it won't affect each other's business." Liu Zhongyu reflected on it, feeling ashamed, and continued, "I'm not greedy. As long as I can fill my stomach, I'm content."
Chen Shuning put away his things, patted his bulging bag, and said with a smile, "Let's go back and divide the money."
