Chapter 428: The New House
Like those lucky bags, they’ve become the mainstream over the past few years, so usually, people just pick them up and leave, and there are also many from organizations who order them in advance and come to collect them now. Giving these things as gifts is pretty practical and also quite high-end, the most important thing is that the price isn’t high, giving them makes a great impression. Regardless of what’s inside, at the very least, such a large bag with a happy pattern on it, so many people like to take them away.
Qin Xiangnuan seized this selling point of the packaging, turning the original value of five yuan of money into an increased price by half, and with the promotion of giving more for buying more, she attracted quite a lot of customers.
"Your family is doing this business?" Jin Juan was shocked. This year she also accompanied Qin Xiangyang to sell Spring Festival couplets. Initially, she thought it was a small venture, but this sale shocked her. Almost all of the orders were taken by the Qin Family, even the two younger ones were selling quite professionally.
Yes, we’ve been selling for many years," Qin Xiangyang wrapped the Spring Festival couplets for a customer and smiled as he spoke to her, "At the very beginning, when my sister and I moved out to live by ourselves, apart from selling Conghua pancakes, during New Year’s, it was by selling these. At that time, the money was really significant, my sister and I sold over one thousand yuan, back when meat was less than one yuan per pound, we sold so much money, and since then our family’s life has gotten a lot better.
Jin Juan felt a private sympathy for Qin Xiangyang; he had told her all about his family’s affairs.
Qin Xiangyang’s mother died early, and Qin Xiangnuan, who was born not long before, was practically raised by him. But at that time, Qin Xiangyang was just a child himself, yet he still had to take care of his younger sister. The sadness they must have felt, perhaps only they themselves truly understood. To leave that home, to survive, Qin Xiangnuan, who was only five or six, even stole flour from the kitchen to make and sell pancakes at the station. Such a young child, five years old, walking an hour in the middle of the night to get to the station, and the money earned later went to Qin Xiangyang’s medical treatments. Without that money, Qin Xiangyang might not have survived to this day.
She really couldn’t imagine what she was doing at the age of five, it seems she has little memory of being five years old, so she felt especially sympathetic towards these siblings and could understand Qin Xiangyang’s feelings for Qin Xiangnuan. She was Qin Xiangyang’s sister, and now, she was her sister too.
"Let’s go hang the Spring Festival couplets," after selling for a day and with nothing else to do, Qin Xiangyang prepared to go to their new house with Jin Juan. They planned to get married next year and his proposal had been submitted, so, the house should be decorated. He had forgotten about this due to being busy with school recently.
