Today is both the "Double 11" shopping carnival and Qi Nian's birthday.

Originally, Qi Nian was planning to buy a small birthday cake to eat with his grandmother in the evening. But he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of his friends and wanted to celebrate his birthday together. Now not only has the size of the birthday cake been upgraded, but the number of people attending birthday parties has also increased many times.

Qi Nian's house had an Eight Immortals table, and sat on Qi Nian, Grandma, Tao Jin, Tian Shuangshuang, Tao Siya, mad brother Jiang, Acheng, and Biaozi. There were exactly eight immortals.

The grandmother remembers that today is her grandson's birthday. In addition to guessing that the scallion pancakes were prepared in advance when Qi Nian arrived home, she also prepared some fruits and snacks that Qi Nian liked. But she didn't expect that not only Qi Nian would go home on time, but also so many people flocked in, and they were caught off guard. If she wanted to go to the street to buy some food, it was too late. The shops on the island basically closed after 8 pm.

Although everyone had already bought food, drink and entertainment from the county, the grandma was still embarrassed to be inadequate in the hospitality.

While everyone was comforting, they did not expect that the old lady would cheat and her life episode was aroused.

The grandma directed Qi Nian to climb up to a cabinet and pulled out a small box from the pile of clothes inside. This small box was the moonlight treasure box that he put when he was a child. When he grew up, he didn't know where to throw the treasure box and those treasures. Unexpectedly, the grandma actually hid it for him to secretly hide it.

The grandma took the treasure box to the Eight Immortals table. Everyone was excited and waited for the moonlight treasure box to show its magical magic power.

When the grandma opened the treasure box and lifted up a piece of wrapped cloth, the things in the treasure box were presented to everyone. This was a lump made of earth and looked very simple.

What did the grandma do to put a piece of dry mud in this box? Is it still wrapped in the mud with a heirloom?

Everyone looked at Qi Nian in confusion, and Qi Nian spread his hands and said that he was also confused.

The grandma smiled and used her hands to pick up the mud and put it beside her mouth. She blew it gently, "Woo", and a mellow sound came from the mud.

The grandma's fingers moved slightly, and the mud made different tones. It turned out that this mud was actually a musical instrument. Everyone was shocked. A piece of mud could also play such a clear tune!

The melodious sound added a hint of loneliness to the night. Everyone was intoxicated by the music.

Although the grandma's fingers were trembling, they were very firm when pressed on the mud in a staggered manner. Her face was also firm. This was a face that had experienced vicissitudes and had joys, sorrows and joys in the world. Although the grandma's strength was well-known to Qi Nian, when he saw two tears flowing out of the grandma's eyes, Qi Nian couldn't help but wet her eyes.

Qi Nian didn't know what touched the grandma, but what touched himself was this deep family affection. This kind of family affection is not something that loves to death, nor does it have much joy in life, but only day after day. Even when the grandma has mental and physical defects, it is more just a smile between relatives.

The grandma has never said a word over the years because she can no longer speak. But Qi Nian can understand what she is saying. It is not using her ears, but using her heart. Just like when she was still a baby, although she couldn't speak, the grandma can understand what Xiao Qi Nian was in her and what she was crying.

Only by heart can you understand life.

After the grandma finished blowing the mud, everyone stood up and applauded her wonderful performance.

Qi Nian hugged the grandmother amid the applause and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you, grandma!"

The grandma nodded with a smile.

At this time, the candles had been lit on the cake. Everyone sang a happy birthday song around Grandma and Qi Nian, and then happily blew the candles and ate the cake.

At this time, Tao Jin held up his mobile phone to show everyone: "The piece of mud that the grandma blew is really a musical instrument."

Everyone rushed to see Tao Jin's mobile phone.

Sure enough, this piece of mud is an ancient musical instrument called 杙. The performance history of this instrument can be traced back to primitive society and reached its peak in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Later, with the invention and introduction of new instruments, 杙, the primitive instrument, was gradually marginalized and unknown. It was only discovered by a group of musicians in recent decades, and it has gradually risen. However, most people have never seen it.

The grandma played the silhouette, which is obviously handmade, and has a natural difference in beauty with the exquisite ceramic products on the Internet. However, the grandma played the sound of nature with this rough-looking instrument.

This grandma, who has always stood after Qi Nian and was often overlooked, showed her unknown side today. Everyone was thinking: Maybe, there is an earth-shaking story after this small instrument. Unfortunately, the grandma can no longer speak and will not tell stories to her grandson like other people's grandmothers do.

After eating cakes and performing guitar singing, Qi Nian sent her grandmother back to the house to sleep.

Everyone was afraid that the grandma would disturb her, so they took two tents from Qi Nian and Tao Jin's house, and the group went to the beach to watch the moonlight while chatting.

Qi Nian put up the tent and asked Tao Jin: "What is the transaction volume of online shopping now?"

Tao Jin held his phone and said, "The real-time data has not come out yet. It will definitely be fine if it exceeds last year. The transaction volume at the opening of today exceeded 10 billion yuan in more than one minute; it exceeded 100 billion yuan in one hour; it exceeded 200 billion yuan at around 2 pm. This is just the data of an e-commerce platform."

After hearing this, Acheng asked, "We will start to get busy tomorrow?"

Qi Nian said: "It won't be tomorrow. Today, consumers just place orders online. If these express delivery arrives at our outlets, there will be a one to three days lag. The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will begin to enter the delivery peak."

Acheng asked again: "Brother A Nian, interview. Are you excited when facing 'Double 11' for the first time?"

Qi Nian cleared his throat and said, "First of all, thank you for cdtv, thank you..."

"Um?"

"Cundao tv."

"oh."

"Thanks to cdtv, thanks to cd radio, thanks..."

"Speak human words!" Tao Siya interrupted Qi Nian impatiently.

"Oh. I was excited for the first time facing 'Double 11', but I was very excited, but the pressure was high. Fortunately, the lack of couriers was a big problem. I went to the labor dispatch company with Shuangshuang to arrange all the personnel, but the prepared people were robbed halfway. Fortunately, Shuangshuang became the 'most beautiful courier', which attracted a lot of people. But now there is an agreement specifically for our colleagues not to poach. We are very passive when things come to an end."

"Aren't there many people who can't find jobs? Just recruit those people."

"This is not that easy. The venue was not enough, so recruiting some inexperienced people would take up space and cause trouble. Besides, every courier now has a heavy task, and no one comes to train those novices at all."

"So that's the case. What should I do?"

"I'm still thinking of a solution. Tomorrow I will take Shuangshuang to visit the labor dispatch companies in Ren City and several surrounding counties to see if there is any solution."

Among these people, Tao Siya is the most idle. Everyone was eating and chatting facing the sea, and only she stared at her phone.

Besides going to Guanshan Community to coordinate some things, Tao Siya really has no other tasks, and she doesn't dare to assign tasks to her. She is a full-time marketing person. Now she can't deliver it even if she delivers too much, so Tao Siya doesn't need to do marketing. It's a mess to do marketing at this critical moment.

She was unwilling to go to the Cundao collection point in Qi Nian's family. As soon as she went out, some young men wanted to protect her. So Tao Siya stayed at home all day except occasionally going to the county to do business.

It is not a good thing for women to stay at home during the Double 11 period. At any time, whenever the mobile phone is turned on, various discount information will be overwhelmed. Even men who don’t buy things can’t help but click on a few advertisements and go in, let alone women who want to buy things.

When people came to be crazy, Tao Siya did not show any strange glory at this birthday party because she was very busy and busy shopping online. Just as everyone was talking about the lack of staff in couriers, Tao Siya found another famous anti-wrinkle snake venom eye mask in the island country. The price was cheaper than buying it locally in the island country. After placing an order, Tao Siya happily sang "Lala" and sang.

Tao Siya, who was singing, soon found that the atmosphere was wrong: "Why are you looking at me?"

Tao Jin asked: "We have insufficient staff at the outlets. Are you very happy?"

Tao Siya reacted and said with a smile: "Don't be so serious. Today is A Nian's birthday, so you should be happier. Lala."

Tao Jin slapped his forehead: "Yes. Why did Brother A Nian say this on his birthday? Come on, birthday star, you can tell me a few unhappy things to make everyone happy."

Qi Nian said helplessly: "Xiaoting is not here, this person has begun to be unrestrained again."

"Look at meteor!" Tian Shuangshuang suddenly pointed to the sky.

Everyone looked up: "Where? Where?"

"Don't worry, make a wish!"

Everyone began to make wishes in a mess while searching.

Qi Nian asked: "Shuangshuang, what wish did you make?"

Tao Jin said: "What other wish can you make? Marry a good family."

"Bah! That's not!" Tian Shuangshuang pointed at Tao Jin and said, "Tell everyone, what wish did you make?"

"I didn't have time to organize language just now, and the meteor disappeared. Where is Brother Ah Nian?"

"Get more people. The more people, the better."

Tao Jin waved his hand: "It's boring, it's too realistic. It's not romantic at all."

"How about romantic?" Qi Nian asked.

Tao Jin pointed at the sky with his hand: "Our company is listed! Everyone doesn't have to deliver express delivery from now on. They just watch the sea and meteors on this beach every day."

"Well said! In order to achieve financial freedom through IPO listing, we will fight the "Double 11" battle." Qi Nian stood up and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, sisters, are you ready for birds?"

Everyone stood up: "Prepare the birds! Be ready at all times!"

"Hit up, do it again. Are you ready for the bird?"

"Be ready at all times!"
Chapter completed!
