Chapter 173 Gap
The couple slept until noon before getting up. After getting up, they had time to pack the three luggage bags they brought back.
Two duffel bags contained their clothes and other personal belongings, and the other bag contained bacon, fish and home-grown soybeans.
By the time they went downstairs with their duffel bags, others were already sitting at the dining table waiting for them.
Jiang Chaohong: "Tsk, sister-in-law, your trip to your parents' home lasts more than a month. Is it fun to stay in your hometown?"
Lin Shu sat down in the empty seat and smiled: "I can't help it. My parents' home is too far away. It's not easy to go back. I have to stay longer. Actually, I feel sorry for staying at my parents' home for more than a month. We, as a couple, have been here for more than a month. I don’t know how much food they have eaten.”
The meaning of this is obvious. Don’t be jealous. If you have the ability, you can go back to your parents’ home for more than a month. As long as your parents’ family has food for you, whoever is jealous is a fool.
Being thrown back by the soft knife, Jiang Chaohong smiled coquettishly: "When you two come back, your parents will have to tighten their belts and live a good life."
Gu Jiu put the duffel bag on the ground and put it The bag was opened, and the bacon, fish and soybeans inside were immediately exposed.
“Third sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about the life of my mother-in-law’s family. Look at how beautiful these bacon and fish are. They are all smoked by my mother-in-law at the end of the year.
As for food, before we left, we helped them buy more than 200 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of flour from the black market, which was enough for them to eat for a while. Besides, there is no food in the city, but my mother-in-law and her family still have food distributed by the team in the village. ”
So, don’t underestimate rural people. Sometimes rural people have more convenience than urban people in terms of food.
Twenty or thirty kilograms of bacon and fish in the luggage bag. Face, Jiang Chaohong felt so ashamed that she suddenly stopped talking.
Wang Suzhen saw the bacon in the luggage bag and covered her chest in shock, "Oh, what does this mother-in-law mean? You can't do it at home, why do you get so much meat? ”
Even if their family’s annual meat stamps are put together, this amount of meat is not that much.
Lin Shu glanced at the uncomfortable Jiang Chaohong and said with a smile: "Mom, we bought half a pig at the end of last year. Except for the New Year food, all the pigs were smoked and bacon. I left dozens of kilograms at home. My mother asked me to bring these. The ten pounds of soybeans are also home-made. If you grow it, you can exchange it for tofu, or you can make your own tofu.”
“Your family bought so much pork?”
Not only Wang Suzhen was shocked, but also others. I feel incredible.
Don’t you see, Gu Changsheng, the oldest person in the family, only gets six taels of meat a month. Half a pig weighs one or two hundred catties.
"I ordered it privately from a friend in the countryside, and I will get half of it if I kill one person at the end of the year." Lin Shu explained briefly.
The children at home have not started school yet and are all at home now. Their mouths watered when they saw the bacon in the bag.
The eldest nephew Gu Youtao said: "At the end of last year, we didn't have bacon at home. Grandma, why don't we fry a bowl of bacon to eat at night?" Although the university has subsidies, there is very little meat in the cafeteria.
My family bought meat during the Chinese New Year, but because of the large population, not much was distributed to each person.
Wang Suzhen looked at Lin Shu subconsciously.
Lin Shu couldn't help laughing: "Mom~, I brought this meat back to improve the food at home. You can look at the arrangements."
When Gu Changsheng heard this, he was also greedy for this bite. He has been used to eating bacon since he was a child. It's really Especially greedy for bacon, "Listen to the children, take advantage of the fact that the children have not started school yet, stir-fry more at night, just stir-fry with garlic sprouts."
"I will have a drink with dad tonight." Gu Xiang said hehe. happy.
"Okay, let's fry some bacon and then fry some bacon with black bean sauce at night." Wang Suzhen agreed.
At the same time, I felt sad in my heart.
In this era of indifference, let’s see how greedy the family members are for a piece of meat.
As for the soybeans, as Lin Shu said, it would be good to exchange them for tofu.
In this era, tofu can not only be bought with money, but can also be exchanged for soybeans.
The adults can still control their emotions, but the children all cheered when they heard that there was meat to eat in the evening.
Especially the little ones, they shouted directly, "Eat meat, eat meat."
There was no meat on the table at noon, only egg and green onion soup, and the other dishes were either pickles or green vegetables.
Gu Jiu glanced at the family members who were eating around the table and asked, "Where's Youjiang? Have they started school?"
Gu Youjiang ranks third among the boys in the family and belongs to the second brother's family. My eldest son is 18 years old and is in his third year of high school.
Second brother Gu Mingqi replied: "They won't start school until the 15th. They may have gone to set up a stall with Youhui again today. They won't be back for lunch at noon."
Gu Jiu glanced at his eldest nephew Gu Youtao who was eating, "Youjiang went to set up a stall with him, why didn't Youtao go to help?"
Although Gu Youhui now owns a fruit shop, he just helps the clothing factory set up stalls and clear goods from time to time. In his words, it means making two pieces of money a day. If you don't make money, you will be struck by lightning.
Cheng Youtao didn't expect Gu Jiu to mention him, and was a little surprised, "Uncle, I was assigned work when I went to college. It's not appropriate to set up a stall. Isn't it lowering my status?"
After hearing what he said, Gu Jiu turned to ask Gu Mingqi: "Since setting up a stall is inappropriate, why didn't the second brother stop You Jiang?"
Gu Mingqi was meaningful. He glanced at Gu Youtao and said with a careless smile: "The children are taking advantage of the holidays to experience life. I stopped it because my head was wet. I happened to follow Youhui to set up a stall and let him taste how hard it is for adults to make money. What’s wrong with letting him experience the ups and downs of life?”
Lin Shu rolled his eyes at Gu Jiu, his elder brother and his sister-in-law didn’t even educate his son, what kind of worries do you have.
However, it was not easy for her to say this, lest she offend a lot of people.
And Gu Youjiang, who had experienced the ups and downs of life in Gu Mingqi's mouth, was currently selling special-priced clothes to passers-by as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
In the past, at home, his parents always complained in front of him that it was difficult to make money and support the family.
Now that I have set up a stall with Brother Hui, I realize that making money is not difficult, it just depends on whether you find the right method.
As soon as the winter vacation came, he followed Brother Hui every day. After setting up a stall for more than ten days in total, he had already saved fifteen hundred yuan.
He believed that even his poor dad didn't have as much savings as he did.
Wait for them to sell their clothes and rush back to the fruit shop.
Gu Youhui counted the money and gave it to Gu Youjiang one hundred and twenty yuan after excluding the cost. "Now, this is what you got today. Keep it yourself. I won't care if you lose it."
< br>Gu Youjiang listened to the noisy sound of the fruit shop outside , his eyes rolled, "Brother, do you think it's better for me to save this money or invest it?"
Gu Youhui didn't think much, and subconsciously replied: "If it were me, of course I would invest it, save it." How can you make money quickly by investing?”
Gu Youjiang hurriedly hit the snake and put it on the stick, "I have saved a thousand and a half during this winter vacation. Add this one hundred and twenty, and it will be a thousand and six. How about I invest this money with you and we will go somewhere else?" Open another fruit shop? ”
Gu Youhui was counting the money. Hearing his words, he was stunned for a moment: "Hey! You kid, the abacus beads fell into my face. You knew about the investment before you even left the school gate. Just invest as long as you want." Let me work as a coolie for you, and you can enjoy it "Okay, you haven't woken up from your daydream." "Hey, hey." Gu Youjiang rubbed the back of his head and smiled: "How dare you! I don't trust you to invest such a large sum of money in someone else's hands." Where’s my brother?”
Gu Youhui gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I thank you for your trust!"
Mixed all the money in his hands together again, and when he was disturbed by this kid, he I don’t remember how many I counted.
Gu Youjiang made a victory gesture in his heart, grinned and said: "I will give you my sixteen hundred yuan when I get back tonight."
Gu Youhui stopped counting the money and thought for a moment. After a while, he said: "If you want to invest, don't even think about getting involved in the fruit shop. Instead, you can open a restaurant with me. "
"Opening a restaurant? It's good to compete with state-owned restaurants. I can't stand the attitude of the employees in state-owned hotels. >Gu Youhui looked at Gu Youjiang's happy face and patted his forehead. He didn't know how much money he had in his hand.
“I won’t count anymore, you are too noisy.” This made him upset, and he actually started to think about the possibility of opening a restaurant.
For the time being, he had to figure out the food and meat supply problem at his aunt's place. To solve this problem, he would go to the store and the chef.
In fact, if you want to make money from catering, the best way is to contract the canteens of units and schools. It's just the canteens of units. The unit has subsidies, and the government will not contract them to individuals.
As for school, he has no acquaintances and connections and it is not his turn.
So, after much deliberation, it is more reliable to open a restaurant and compete with state-owned enterprises to grab business.
Gu Youjiang was not angry even after being rejected, and looked at his brother deep in thought with a smile.
After Gu Youhui thought it through, he noticed Gu Youjiang's smiling eyes and hit him on the head several times with a note angrily, "You are such a naughty kid, what bad ideas are you planning?"
Gu Youjiang Caressing the head and smiling playfully His face wailed: "It's wrong, brother, I admire you very much now. In my eyes, you are a walking RM coin."
This time I came back, it was just after the New Year, and the clothing store The business at the special stores is not as good as at the end of last year.
Gu Jiu went to the company for a tour, and Chen Fei showed him the year-end account books. If they did not want to expand the company, the two of them could each take away about five thousand yuan.
Actually, they can’t expand even if they want to. Fruit wholesale and fruit cultivation have not yet formed a large scale, and the supply is unstable. It is okay to maintain one store, but if there are too many, there will be a shortage.
In the garment industry, garment factories in provincial capitals cannot keep up with the styles, while garment factories in Guangdong Province have many people ordering, but their production scale and efficiency cannot be improved for the time being.
"You can help me find some people who know how to build houses. I want to knock down those two dilapidated houses and rebuild them after the first month."
Chen Fei was surprised when he heard this, " Brother Ninth, those two dilapidated houses occupy a large area. What kind of house do you want to build? If it is a building, the construction cost will be a lot of money."
"Of course we have to build a building. Your sister-in-law and I have discussed it and plan to build a seven-story building. The first and second floors will be turned into facades. After the third floor is raised, we are going to open a hotel for accommodation."
Looking at Chen Fei's shocked expression, Gu Jiu felt a little comforted. He was also shocked when Lin Shu told him that he wanted to build a seven-story building.
If it is built as seven floors as Lin Shu said, then this building will be like a hen that can lay golden eggs.
If the couple had no big ambitions, they would be able to live comfortably at home.
"Hiss!"
"Brother Ninth, awesome!"
Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "To build a seven-story building, nearly a thousand square meters, at least you have to prepare One hundred thousand, Brother Jiu"
He couldn't figure it out, when did Gu Jiu become so rich?
At this time, he was thinking that his position as the head of the Gu family could not be due to corruption and bribery, right?
Gu Jiu saw the questioning and nervous look in his eyes and slapped him angrily, "Where did you think you went? This was saved by my wife and I."
As for how it was saved. , he won’t say it.
No matter how good a brother is, it won’t do.
These words made Chen Fei think too much. Could it be that Lin Shu's mother-in-law was a wealthy landlord? Otherwise, who would have more than 100,000 yuan in savings these days?
However, it is difficult for him to ask about this kind of thing.
"Okay, let me contact you. Now that the educated youth have returned to the city, many people in the first and second buildings have stepped down and let their juniors take their places. I will go find them."
"Then this matter will trouble you."
"My brother, everything is easy to talk about."
After sending Gu Jiu away, Chen Fei licked his hair and said, "Tsk, I've made money in the past few months that others can't save in ten years. It's a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, I was woken up by Brother Jiu's punch today. Otherwise, He really doesn’t know that there are people outside the world.”
I used to think that having ten thousand yuan was very embarrassing, but today I realized that ten thousand yuan is nothing compared to others!
It seems that I still have to work hard. After the first month, I have to go to Guangdong Province to find a way to get some electronic products to sell.
On the way home by bicycle, Gu Jiu suddenly remembered that the boy from the Jiang family opened a fruit shop.
The bicycle turned and turned into another street. When passing a storefront, he slowed down a little.
From a distance, I saw several people choosing fruits in front of the fruit shop, but the shop owner, the boy from the Jiang family, was eating sugar cane with his legs crossed. He also had a radio set up on his body, and his legs were swaying rhythmically.
Tsk!
Gu Jiu shook his head, and with a push of his foot, the bicycle flew out. Looking at the performance of the second generation ancestor of the Jiang family, his third brother's kindness once again fed the dog.
At this moment, the boy from the Jiang family didn't know what Gu Jiu was thinking, otherwise he would have jumped to retort: "Don't look down on people, the profit of the fruit shop is about seventy or eighty yuan a day, which is equal to that of an ordinary worker. Two months' salary."
When Gu Jiu returned home, he placed the 5,000 bonus he took from Chen Fei on the small table.
Lin Shu looked at the five piles of money arranged in front of him and said with a smile: "Are you getting your dividends back? Didn't Chen Fei stop you?"
"Why did he stop me? He didn't do anything better. For the project, we can just maintain the original situation this year. If we want to expand, we can wait until next year." Gu Jiu thought about Lin Shu's production this year, and he didn't want to be too busy.
Whether you say he has no ambition or that he is addicted to beauty, in his heart, his family is the most important.
Lin Shu took out a bankbook from the drawer, "There are more than 7,000 deposits in the commercial bank, plus these 5,000, it is 12,000. In addition, we made money from selling medicinal materials before, and the miscellaneous things add up. The room should be enough.”
“Well, a few shops. We are still making money. Even if we build a house, our life will not be too tight." Gu Jiu took off his coat and changed into home clothes. "I have asked Chen Fei to contact the master craftsman for me. I will wait for it. Construction can start there in the first month of the year.”
"Okay, you can make arrangements for building the house."
Lin Shu is not worried about lack of money at all. If he really doesn't have living expenses, he can go up to the mountains to dig herbs for a few days.
