This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 263 Chen Shuning buys 2 sewing machines

The chirping of cicadas outside the window disturbs people's sweet dreams.

Liu Xianghua rubbed her sleepy eyes, climbed up from the kang, grabbed the needle and thread on the kang table, yawned, and continued sewing.

Chen Aiguo heard the noise, opened his eyes, and teased: "Xianghua, it's okay to sleep a little longer. Making money is not at this time."

Liu Xianghua yawned again and replied, "I'll learn more now while there's someone to teach me. After those two educated youth leave, there'll be no one to teach me even if I want to."

Chen Aiguo was no longer sleepy. He turned over and sat up, put on his vest, and said, "Then you do it! I'll go to the threshing ground to turn the wheat."

"Hey, boss, why don't you get some sleep?" Liu Xianghua said, "Don't you have to go to town with Er Laizi this afternoon? I'll go turn the wheat."

Chen Erlai wanted to buy a stone mill, but he had no money. He discussed it with Lin Shitou, who said that he had a relative who used to make stone mills and could make one for him in exchange for a small fee.

However, the village was about to divide the land, and Lin Shitou was unable to leave. Coincidentally, today was Sunday, and Chen Aiguo was at home resting, so he asked Chen Aiguo to accompany Chen Erlai on the trip.

Chen Aiguo put on his Liberation shoes and said with a smile, "Why did Ye Zi think of making tofu?"

"What's wrong? You don't think it's a good idea?" Liu Xianghua paused, then raised her head and said, "I think Ye Zi making tofu is a good idea. Although it's hard work, it can support the family!"

Liu Xianghua lowered her head to sew the hairband and continued, "There aren't many people in this area who know how to make tofu. She's doing well with this small business. Even if she sells two dishes of tofu a day, it's enough to feed the whole family."

Chen Aiguo washed his face and said, "I'll go turn the wheat first, and then I'll go find Er Laizi. I heard from the Party Secretary that the land division is almost done. You can rest for a few days. Once the land is divided, there will be a lot of work waiting for you!"

Liu Xianghua didn't try to stop him. She looked up at the bright sun outside the window, sighed, and said, "I wonder if the sewing machine issue has been resolved. Everyone in town says Zhou Dajiang is a scoundrel. Can he really get things done?"

Chen Shuning and his sister went to the town early in the morning to find Zhou Dajiang to solve the problem of the sewing machine, and they have not returned yet.

Chen Aiguo put down his water cup and said with a smile, "Don't say that about him. Dajiang isn't a bad kid by nature. He was the one who told Shu Ning that she had to go for the college entrance exam early, otherwise we wouldn't have known there were so many tricks to the exam!"

Liu Xianghua blushed and said, "I said the wrong thing! Aiguo, go ahead. I'll go find Wang Na after I'm done with this and ask her to see if there's anything wrong."

The sun at noon was so scorching that Chen Shuning couldn't open his eyes.

Zhou Dajiang handed over a bottle of soda and urged, "Shuning, try it quickly! It's something new, you must have never tasted it before."

A transparent glass bottle held orange soda. Gently shaking it, bubbles rose. Chen Shuning took a sip, and a puff of air rushed into his nose.

"Hmm? Brother Dajiang, what is this? It tastes weird."

Zhou Dajiang replied, "Soda. It's a new thing, it just became popular in the city, and no one in the village sells it yet!"

Chen Shuning took another sip and said with a smile, "It has an orange flavor! It's quite delicious."

Zhou Dajiang corrected: "It's orange flavored!"

Chen Jiawang wiped his sewing machine and said with a smile, "Where have we ever eaten oranges?"

Zhou Dajiang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "When I become rich, I will treat you to oranges. Hahahaha..."

Chen Shuning encouraged him, "Just because of what you said, Brother Dajiang, you will become rich sooner or later!"

Zhou Dajiang turned around and said to Chen Jiawang, "Jiawang, learn from Shuning. She speaks in a way that makes people happy! Your words lack meaning..."

Chen Jiawang rolled his eyes and changed the subject: "Dajiang, didn't you say you wanted to hire someone to look after the store? Do you think my cousin is capable?"

Zhou Dajiang scratched the back of his head and asked, "Who? You're not talking about Chen Shuyi, are you?"

Chen Jiawang nodded and replied, "Yes! My cousin is honest and simple, clean and hardworking."

Chen Jiawang raised his head and glanced around the room, then continued, "As for your grocery store, if my cousin is watching, I will make sure it is clean for you.

Look at what I've done to you in this room. It's a complete mess. If someone comes here, they won't be able to find anything."

Zhou Dajiang hesitated and said awkwardly, "I have a bad reputation. Can your cousin work for me? People will poke holes in her spine."

Chen Shuning spoke bluntly: "My sister is divorced, and her ex-husband is everywhere trying to ruin her reputation. She doesn't care about what you said."

Zhou Dajiang gritted his teeth and said, "If she doesn't mind, she can come and give it a try. If she can do it, we can talk about the salary later."

He looked up at the messy shelves and said with a bitter face, "I don't know how to clean up. Besides, I have some other business, so I can't stay in the store all the time."

Chen Jiawang washed the rag and replied with a smile: "I'll go back and tell her to come to work at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

This time Zhou Dajiang did not refute. He took the initiative to step forward and help Chen Jiawang put away the sewing machine.

"This sewing machine is a little old, but it can still be used." Zhou Dajiang changed the needle and murmured, "You guys use it first. I'll tell you when I find a better one."

Zhou Dajiang looked up at Chen Shuning and said solemnly, "Shuning, you have to think about me! If you make new styles, you must give them to me first. I have contacted several business friends, and they are all waiting for your goods!"

"I'll give you new goods after Wang Na and Lan Zhi leave." Chen Shuning fanned himself leisurely and said, "They were the first to do this business with you, and we're friends. As long as they're in Chenjia Village, I can't do this."

Zhou Dajiang gave a thumbs-up and said, "Sister, I admire you! You are a man of integrity."

Chen Jiawang carried the sewing machine and placed it on the cart outside the door, urging, "Shuning, don't sit there anymore. It's time for us to go home."

Patting Zhou Dajiang on the shoulder, Chen Jiawang instructed: "Dajiang, just wait here for me. I will come back to deliver the cart and give you the money by the way."

"There's no rush for the money." Zhou Dajiang said with a smile, "If you're not ready, it's okay to pay it a few months later."

Chen Shuning put down the glass bottle, put on his cross-body bag and walked out of the grocery store.

"Brother Dajiang, let's go back first. This sewing machine is cheap, and my dad should have enough money, so I'll give it to you first!"

Chen Shuning pointed at the grocery store and continued, "Your store still needs to purchase goods, which is quite stressful. We can't let you fill the gap."

"Ah..." Zhou Dajiang sighed and said, "Alright then! We've been friends for so many years, I won't be polite with you."

The wheels made a squeaking sound as Chen Jiawang pushed his sewing machine into the village under the scorching sun.

The street was so quiet that not a single person could be seen.

The brother and sister turned into the alley and carried the sewing machine into the house. Liu Xianghua heard the noise and came out. Seeing the sewing machine, a smile appeared on her face.

"Jiawang, how much is this sewing machine?"

"Mom, this sewing machine is used by someone else. It costs 68 yuan."

Liu Xianghua touched the sewing machine and said with a smile, "It's a Peony brand one. 68 yuan isn't expensive. If you go to the supply and marketing cooperative, you can buy it for 150 yuan. It doesn't look old at all..."
