Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets-Chapter 20 Calling Out
Chapter 20 - 20 Calling Out
Sister Wei's calling was not uncommon, but hearing a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl calling her that made her very happy.
Wei Jiahong spoke with a beaming smile, "Young girl, to be doing business with your uncle at such a young age, I'll definitely give you a discount. However, the total for these clothes isn't small, can you make the decision?"
Wei Jiahong's gaze fell on Tang Mingli standing beside, similar to other customers stocking up goods, but the eyes of this uncle and niece duo were sparkling, especially the young girl's eyes, they were as if they could speak, even prettier than her own lovely sister by quite a bit.
"I can." Tang Mingli nodded. When it came to clothes, he always listened to his niece completely.
At that, Wei Jiahong's face bloomed with joy, many who came to wholesale clothes wouldn't do like they did, sticking to one store, and besides, the location of her shop wasn't great, and though her clothes were fashionable, not everyone liked them.
As a result, her business wasn't particularly good.
Tang Yue took the opportunity to ask, "Sister, we will take all these clothes, could you tally up how much they all cost?"
Wei Jiahong calculated the cost of the clothes while chatting with Tang Yue.
"Sister Wei, let's just round down the change," Tang Yue glanced at the total, 198 yuan.
In the midst of casual conversation, Tang Yue learned her name, Wei Jiahong.
"Xiao Yue, let's not round down the change. How about I throw in an extra pair of pants for you?" Wei Jiahong, all smiles, picked up a pair of jeans, "These jeans are trendy in Shenzhen, so you won't have trouble selling them."
"Sister Wei, it's double the goodness, if there're pants, how about adding another shirt as well?" Tang Yue, still smiling, picked out another shirt.
"Xiao Yue, then your sister would be selling at a loss," Wei Jiahong said while she was packing up the goods, "In the future, you'll have to look out for your sister's business more!"
"Sure thing." Tang Yue winked secretly at Tang Mingli, and Tang Mingli gave her a thumbs up. At this moment, the sheets he brought came in handy, using them to wrap the neatly packed clothes one more layer.
The money Tang Mingli had brought, aside from keeping some for transportation, every last cent was spent on clothes.
On the way back, Tang Mingli guarded the clothing as though it was more precious than treasure. After getting off the vehicle, he quickly rushed to where the luggage was to check that everything was intact before feeling relieved.
"Xiao Yue, let's set up a stall right now," Tang Mingli said as he carried the clothes towards the previously chosen spot.
The spot selected by Tang Mingli was an open space just outside of the market. He put down the clothes and started to figure out how to hang them up.
Tang Yue was sorting things out nearby. She picked a few shirts and jeans to hold in her hands, the cost price of these clothes she remembered by heart, so she stood in the midst of the bustling crowd and began to shout, "Come take a look, the new clothes from Shenzhen, don't miss out as you walk by."
Tang Yue unfolded the prettiest shirts to display them, but holding them in her hands wasn't very convenient.
The passing crowd was plentiful, but many would just ask the price and leave.
Tang Mingli also started to call out like Tang Yue, but most thought the price was too high after asking.
Tang Mingli felt impatient and discreetly glanced at Tang Yue, thinking whether the price quoted was too high.
Yet Tang Yue comforted him, saying: "Uncle, don't worry, we can't go any lower on this price, otherwise it wouldn't be profitable."
Tang Yue pondered for a while, then said: "Wait for me."
She picked out two pieces of clothing from the pile and darted across to the market opposite.
Tang Mingli, standing alone behind the pile of clothes, therefore had to both shout out to attract customers and take care of the clothes. He was internally frantic, worrying that if these clothes didn't sell, his money would be completely wasted.
Five minutes later, Tang Yue came back, wearing a white blouse and flared jeans which highlighted her youthful vibe, especially the fitted flared jeans that sketched out her delicate figure perfectly. She tied her hair up into a high ponytail again.
Tang Yue's face was already attractive, and now paired with the blouse and jeans, she looked even more slender.
Those who previously thought the price was expensive immediately came forward to inquire.

Tang Yue explained while familiarly asking the customers what size they needed.
"I want one." A woman of a similar build to Tang Yue thought the clothes looked good on her and decided to buy one as well.
"Sure thing. This is merchandise from Shenzhen, look at this blouse, it's different from what we sell in our county," Tang Yue cheerfully took the money, then turned to Tang Mingli, "Uncle, please get this pretty sister a small size."
"Oh, okay." Tang Mingli, belatedly realizing, was surprised to find that the first deal had been made.
With the first buyer in place, they were surrounded in no time. Everyone has a love for beauty, and seeing the attractive clothes on Tang Yue, further emphasized as being from Shenzhen, everyone was even more eager to buy.
Tang Mingli was consistently squatting while searching for the right sizes of clothes.
Tang Yue, on the other hand, used her persuasive skills to recommend their clothes and also give fashion advice - which styles looked good and such. It was still early autumn and a bit hot for her, pairing short sleeves with long pants, but thinking of the clothes selling piece by piece, she felt quite delighted.
Especially those dresses, she just held them up against her, and the people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Initially, Tang Yue worried there would be fewer buyers for dresses compared to pants, so she stocked fewer dresses, focusing on fetching blouses and pants with attractive designs. But seeing the enthusiasm, she realized she had underestimated these women's pursuit of beauty.
"Miss, you have a good eye, the size you suggested fits me perfectly," said a customer who had bought clothes earlier, coming back specifically wearing the new outfit for a stroll.
After the stroll, Tang Yue and Tang Mingli, who had been worried about not being able to sell the clothes, were now only concerned that they wouldn't have enough to sell. Seeing the stock of clothes they brought in selling out largely and left with very few, Tang Mingli's heart surged with excitement; he didn't feel hungry, nor tired anymore.
During the rush hour of closing time, Tang Yue took the opportunity to change into a dress, a pure white one that wrapped around her slender frame. She let down her high ponytail, and in an instant, she seemed like a completely different person, like a little fairy. The sunlight sprinkled on her, and passersby, even if they weren't buying clothes, couldn't help but stop and take a longer look.
Unknowingly, it got dark, and Tang Yue's smile on her face stiffened, while Tang Mingli, exhausted, collapsed on the ground and said, "I'm so tired, Xiao Yue, you're truly amazing. You can tell at a glance what size clothes someone wears?"
