Chapter 239
The children in Brother Gu’s house were so noisy that Lin Shu found it too noisy and said goodbye to Wang Suzhen and Gu Changsheng after lunch.
"Dad, Mom, let's go back first."
"You guys are going back right now, why don't you sit down for a while?" Wang Suzhen stood up and teased the second baby with a bit of reluctance. .
Lin Shu smiled and said: "Don't sit down anymore. The first and second treasures will take a nap later."
"Okay, be careful when riding on the road." Wang Suzhen wanted to bring some snacks back to her two children, but unfortunately all the snacks she bought last time were eaten by the children of the second family.
Lin Shu talked to the two elders and found Gu Youhui outside the villa, who was besieged by children.
"Youhui, come here."
Gu Youhui was being entangled by the grandchildren of his second wife and couldn't get away. When he heard Lin Shu calling him, it was like hearing the sound of nature.
He trotted up to Lin Shu and asked with a smile: "Auntie, are you looking for me?"
Lin Shu walked to the bicycle shed, pointed to the bicycle next to him and said, "You ride a bicycle with us. When I was cooking at noon, I found that there was not much rice at home. You followed us and brought two bags of rice."
"Okay, it just so happens that I don't want to take care of the children." Gu Youhui was really frightened by these children.
Gu Jiu and Lin Shu each carried a child in a sling. Gu Youhui followed them and chatted from time to time on the way.
When he got home, Lin Shu asked Gu Jiu to go to his small supermarket to choose two 50-pound bags of rice to take back.
My second brother and his family are in the old house during this period, so food must be consumed very quickly. Two bags of rice should last for a few days.
"Auntie, fortunately, you don't need tickets in the supermarket now. If you rely on food stamps to buy food at the food station, my second uncle and his family are here, and the family must not follow the northwest wind."
Gu Youhui put the two bags The rice was placed in the back seat and tied with a rope.
Gu Jiudao: "Don't let your second uncle hear what you said, otherwise, he will leave with his family overnight."
"Uncle, I will tell you, It's a joke, but it can't be taken seriously." Gu Youhui naturally knew that his words could not be heard by his second uncle and his family.
Otherwise, grandpa would not whip him with a belt if he found out.
After Gu Youhui left, Gu Jiu and Lin Shu parked their bicycles in the stairwell. When they returned home, Lin Shu asked Gu Jiu to take their two babies to take a nap.
She cooked a lot of vegetables at noon, and she was smelling of oil smoke. She had to take a shower and change clothes first.
“Are the children asleep?”
Lin Shu came out after taking a bath, and the two children were already asleep with their limbs spread out and their bellies bulging.
"Well, you must be tired from cooking at noon today. Come here and I will hold you to sleep." Gu Jiu lay on the bed and patted the place next to him.
Lin Shu rubbed her temples. She was not tired from working today. The main reason was that there were too many and noisy children, which gave her a headache.
"What is the situation with your second brother and the others now? Are you planning to stay in the provincial capital, or will you go back?"
Gu Jiu smoothed her hair and said, "I didn't listen to them today. Speaking of which, they have a family in the countryside and should go back. Don't forget that the three daughters-in-law are still in the countryside."
Lin Shu hugged Gu Jiu's waist and buried his head in his chest. " I feel that the old house will be very lively in the future, but I am afraid that my parents will not be able to bear it."
Gu Jiu also saw how noisy the children in the second room were, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "Second brother and his family are here. There was no separation of families in the countryside. I don’t know what he thinks. With such a big family living together like crazy every day, is there any quality of life? ”
Lin Shu patted him and said, "Please, having money is called life, and having no money is called survival. They have not even reached the food and clothing line, how can they care about the quality of life."
The next day, Lin Shu I went to the hotel. The weather has gradually warmed up during this period. There are many more outsiders coming to the provincial capital, and the hotel business is pretty good.
The occupancy rate has been gradually increasing and has now reached 89%.
The renovation of the fifth, sixth and seventh floors is also coming to an end. Once the sanitary ware is installed, the furniture is moved in, and it is cleaned, it can be gradually opened to welcome guests.
"Mr. Lin." As soon as he entered the fifth floor of the hotel, the manager Long Yi greeted him.
Lin Shu looked at the decoration of the room and said: "Mr. Long, the sanitary ware and furniture have been stored in the warehouse. You ask them to speed up the installation of sanitary ware. It should be very fast. After installing a room, people will have to do the hygiene. Clean it, and then put in the furniture."
Long Yi asked: "Mr. Lin, are the linens ready? The goods purchased last time were only enough for the rooms on the second, third and fourth floors."
< br>“I replenished the linen back, enough for the hotel. , However, you can’t get them all at once. In the future, the warehouse will also be the hotel’s warehouse. If there is any shortage of supplies here, just place an order and go to the warehouse to get it.”
Lin Shu said and looked back. Long Yi: "In the future, the hotel must follow the formal process for receiving supplies. If you don't issue an order to receive the goods, I will not be able to deliver the goods to you at the warehouse in the future."
At the beginning of the hotel decoration, from There are no procedures for hauling goods over from the warehouse, it’s a bit messy.
For example, in the future, we should be stricter in managing consumables such as supplies, linens, cleaning supplies, etc. from the warehouse.
Long Yi nodded after hearing this, "I will have a meeting with the foremen later and make some forms. I will ask them to fill in and sign when receiving supplies."
" Well, you have to gradually improve the hotel's rules and regulations. The hotel decoration is completed and officially opened. I want the hotel staff to return to normal working conditions."
"Okay, give me a few days."
The decoration of the hotel is very fashionable, even if it is delayed. In ten or twenty years, the decoration of the hotel has not become outdated.
It's just that now that it's newly renovated, the smell inside is not that good.
After coming out of the hotel, Lin Shu saw a tractor parked on the roadside. What attracted her was not the tractor, but the fish in the tractor bed.
“Comrade, do you want to buy fish?”
The middle-aged man standing on the truck noticed Lin Shu and asked her while holding a lively fish.
Lin Shu walked over and found that the bed of their tractor was covered with a layer of raincloth, and the bed of the tractor was half filled with water. There are about twenty or thirty fish left, mainly fat-headed carp and grass carp.
"Are you raising fish in your own team?"
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile: "Yes, the fish raised in our team are going to be renovated by the members of the team before the summer rains and floods come. . This time I took advantage of the renovation to get some online. The fish came up, ready to exchange for some money."
"Is this the fish raised in the reservoir?"
Lin Shu knew that there was no feed for fish farming in this era, and they all relied on traps, that is, grass carp. Fathead fish, silver carp, etc. are raised in mixed sets.
Each type of fish must be raised in proportion. Otherwise, if there are too many of one kind of fish, it will cause an ecological imbalance and the fish with a large number will not grow big.
Of course, the fish of this era are not comparable to the fish raised on feed in later generations.
The young man sitting in the driving seat of the tractor also came over. He was a little embarrassed when he saw Lin Shu, who was beautifully dressed and very fashionable.
“The water in our reservoir is very clear, and the fish in it are more delicious than those raised in fish ponds, and the earthy smell is not as strong as the fish in fish ponds.”
Lin Shuliae He smiled casually. In this era, if you eat fish, you are not afraid of excessive antibiotics.
She pointed to the restaurant and said to the young man: "If you are smart, go to the restaurant and call their manager and tell them that there are fish here."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "You and we thought of going to the same place. We stopped here to ask the restaurant if they wanted fish."
As he said that, he waved to the young man, "Zhuzhu "Hurry up and ask."
"Hey!" After hearing that Lin Shu asked him to go to the restaurant to ask, Zhuzi seemed to be less timid than he was at first.
The middle-aged man washed his hands in the carriage and asked: "Comrade, do you want to buy two fish to eat back?"
Lin Shu: "Don't worry, wait until the people from the restaurant come."
"Comrade and the restaurant are together?"
"Well, wait until they come over and say it together."
While the two were talking, the restaurant manager Xu Lizhong soon followed Zhu Zhu out.
He trotted to the side of the road and greeted Lin Shu first: "Mr. Lin."
Lin Shu pointed to the bucket: "The quality of their fish is good. Move it to the water tank in the restaurant while it's still alive."
Some of the fish in the bucket are already turning white. If it is not moved to a tank with oxygen as soon as possible, it will die soon.
Two men, one old and one young, were selling fish. They looked at Lin Shu in astonishment. They never expected that Lin Shu was the owner of the restaurant.
Who would believe such a young and beautiful boss?
The fish was weighed and the water tank in the restaurant was moved. Xu Lizhong and the middle-aged man settled the bill and walked to Lin Shu.
He looked at the fish in the water tank in front of him, "Mr. Lin, some of them have turned white, and they won't survive long even if they are put in the water tank."
Lin Shu asked people to fish out the turned white fish. "Send two to the noodle shop next door, and two more to my elder brother's noodle shop. I'll send a few over to the old house later, and the blanched fish can be almost finished."
Those jobs are done. The fish was quite good, enough for the restaurant to last for a few days.
Lin Shu thought that there were many people in the old house, so he asked people to pretend to be five.
Xu Lizhong helped tie the fish to the back seat of the bicycle and said: "Mr. Lin, this snakeskin bag of fish weighs about twenty kilograms. If Uncle Gu and the others can't finish it all at once, they can fry it a little. Let it dry in the sun.”
Lin Shu held on to the bicycle and smiled: "Twenty pounds will be gone after two meals at most."
"Huh?"
Xu Lizhong didn't know that the Gu family had found their second son. I thought that the old couple lived in the old house.
Lin Shu didn’t explain much, waved to him and rode away.
"Gouzi, if you use a stick to poke the henhouse again, I will break your legs. If you scare the hen and stop laying eggs today, you will have no eggs to eat tomorrow."
Here, Aunt Gu had just finished teaching her second grandson, and over there, the boss made the third child cry and howl. The cry was really a demonic sound that pierced the ears.
Wang Suzhen heard the crying, walked out of the house, and gave each of them a candy before they stopped crying.
The older one has just been coaxed, and the other two younger ones are picking up stones in the yard and stuffing them into their mouths.
Wang Suzhen was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward and snatched the stones from their hands, and stuffed each of them with a candy.
“The children from the second child’s family always like to pick up things on the ground and put them in their mouths. We need to teach them more about cleanliness in the future.”
Aunt Gu felt aggrieved.
“Mom, I want to teach them too. I don’t know how many times I’ve beaten them, but they just don’t remember. You know, I have to do housework at home alone and have to take care of a group of children. How can I manage it? ”
Wang Suzhen has personally experienced how one person can take care of several children. This kind of busyness cannot be managed well, and she eventually breaks down emotionally.
Now that I see the second daughter-in-law in front of me, who looks more experienced than myself, I can't say a harsh word.
“Normally, doesn’t their mother care?”
Aunt Gu looked sad: "The daughters-in-law at home have to work during the day, and in the evening they have to do housework and mending, so there is no extra time to take care of the children. Besides, the children in our rural areas are not as good-looking as the children in the city. It’s just free-range.”
Wang Suzhen had a headache looking at the rude and uncultured daughter-in-law in front of her.
“No matter how busy you are, you cannot neglect the discipline of your children. Children are the hope of a family. If you can’t even discipline your children well, what hope does this family have?”
“In your city? I don’t understand how people think, but in our rural areas, a family’s food rations are more important. No matter how well the children are disciplined, if they don’t earn enough work points in a year, and if they don’t get enough food after autumn, the family will be hungry.”
Aunt Gu asked with a smile: “Mom. , you have enjoyed happiness in the city, maybe you have never experienced the feeling of being hungry?”
Wang Suzhen looked helplessly at the wrinkled face in front of her. When she was hungry when she was young, she was still a child wearing crotchless pants.
"Wow! Sugar, my candy!"
The two were chatting when Gouzi suddenly started crying and rolled on the spot with extremely skillful movements.
Aunt Gu knew without looking that an older child must have snatched his candy.
She casually picked up the broom next to her and swung it at her eldest grandson, "I'll beat you to death. Why are you grabbing your brother's candy when you have nothing to do?"
The eldest grandson even nimbly dodged the broom she swung at, ducked to the side, and retorted: "I didn't rob it, he gave it to me himself."
Aunt Gu didn't care why he robbed it, as long as If you make your younger brother cry, you should be beaten: "I told you to be stubborn. If you rob, you will rob, and you still dare to quibble!"
The eldest grandson saw the broom swiped at him again, and hurriedly ran towards the door of the courtyard.
Just as Lin Shu was pushing her bicycle to enter the courtyard, she almost collided with a child rushing towards her from the opposite side, which shocked her.
Fortunately, the child was more flexible and ducked slightly, then rushed past her.
After just dodging the child, Lin Shu was so frightened that before he could recover, a broom came towards him and hit the front wheel of the bicycle.
"What are you doing? A broom is waved in front of you. Do you want me to come back?" Lin Shu held his breath and waved the dust in front of him.
Aunt Gu never expected that a broom would escape and almost hit Lin Shu.
"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come back just now, and I almost hit you. Are you okay?"
Aunt Gu quickly came up to greet you. , we had a meal together last time, and when we got back, someone brought us two bags of rice.
Preliminary conclusion is that Lin Shu is a generous master.
That is, people are stupid and have too much money.
Lin Shu pushed the bicycle into the yard: "I'm fine, second sister-in-law, just discipline the child when he makes a mistake. Why are you shouting about beating and killing?"
"Oh, sister-in-law, you You don’t know how naughty that kid is. He went to the house without beating him for a day.”
“If you beat him, you can’t even talk about discipline. He ran away first.” Lin Shu shook his head in disapproval. shook his head.
"Why did Shu Shu come here today?" Wang Suzhen asked.
"Mom, I happened to encounter a production team selling fish outside today, so I bought a few more fish and brought some to you."
Lin Shu parked the bicycle and started to do it. Untie the back seat straps.
When Aunt Gu heard that it was a fish, her eyes suddenly lit up. She stepped forward and snatched Lin Shu's job, "It's a fish. I'm familiar with this job, brother and sister, so I'll do it. Brother and sister, you should be filial, a little bit The delicious food reminds me of my mother.”
