Ye Fan reminded his son not to directly point out his aunt's faults.
Dabao nodded: "I know. My sister-in-law is belatedly rebellious. If you tell her to go east, she will have to go and take a look even if she knows there is a pit to the west."
Ye Fan touched his son's head: "Will you be like this in the future?"
Dabao shook his head: "I will not eat without hardship and make my simple life more difficult."
"Don't you think it would be a pity not to challenge yourself?"
Dabao: "Drinking rat poison is considered a challenge. Do I want to challenge it?"
"Arrogance."
Dabao said: "Although my sister-in-law didn't say anything, she just wanted to do this."
Yu Wentao agreed very much: "Dabao is right, Fanfan, don't criticize Dabao. Doing something you know is wrong is not a challenge, it is stupid!"
Dabaoxin said that grandma has been really annoying my sister-in-law recently.
Geng Huihui asked: "Grandma, when will my sister-in-law plan to have a child? She is already thirty-four years old."
Yu Wentao said she didn't care, but she didn't want to care in her heart, but when she saw Geng Zhiqin, she couldn't help but ask him a few words. Today at noon, the couple were cooking in the kitchen. Yu Wentao reminded Geng Zhiqin that she was older and that she should take good care of herself if she planned to have a child. He also reminded her to go to the hospital for a check-up, and asked Sun Laifu to ask his colleagues what they should pay attention to.
Maybe Ye Fan scared Geng Zhiqin when he said "one corpse, two lives" before, but this time he didn't mind Yu Wentao's nagging and didn't resist her.
Yu Wentao was very pleased to see that her sensible granddaughter still cared about her naive daughter: "I'm ready to take it. Maybe you will be a sister again next summer vacation."
Geng Huihui: "Let's have a boy. I heard people say that a nephew is like an uncle. Whether he is like my father, my uncle, or my uncle, it is good. It is also good to be like my cousin in the Yu family."
Geng Zhiye also has aunts and uncles. Geng's father often helped his family when he was here. There are also people who have established a household in my hometown now. Geng's father came once when he passed away. Due to busy work, they stayed for two days and then hurried back. They were not familiar with Geng Zhiye, and they couldn't recognize Yu Wentao. They had been following Mr. Geng these years.
Yu Wentao heard Yang Mengxia say that there were some bad relatives in his hometown, but most of them were pretty good. Yu Wentao was very worried that the bad relative was a close relative of Geng's father, so he said: "It's better to be like your dad."
Geng Huihui smiled: "My dad is indeed an honest man. My uncle, my aunt, and Laifu can't control me. My third uncle, they are so angry. My grandpa said that my third uncle was a thorn in the side when he was young."
Yu Wentao: "Your third uncle is also sensible."
Ye Fanxin said, that's because the boss treats you honestly and doesn't need to be aggressive, which makes him appear sensible and well-behaved.
Ye Fan said: "Lai Fu will come over for dinner later, and you remind him to go to his brother-in-law's house next time he's on vacation. It's not like he's barging in. He'll come here whenever he can on vacation."
Yu Wentao: "I reminded him to buy some meat and vegetables and bring them over. It's not easy for people to raise a son like this."
Ye Fan: "The old couple are kind, and Xiao Qin is good to others. When Xiao Qin is born, they will often help him. If Chang Guangrong's child is born next year, Chang Guangrong's child can't go to kindergarten yet, and the old couple can take the child there to help Xiao Qin. Take good care of me.”
Yu Wentao nodded: "Chang Guangrong's kind-hearted daughter-in-law may take care of the child by herself and ask her parents to help me."
"Yes, people's hearts change people's hearts." Ye Fan said.
Geng Huihui: "If my sister-in-law marries into the Liu family and my grandma works so hard, Liu Ning's sister must think that my sister-in-law is a few years older than Liu Ning. Grandma is afraid that Liu Ning will not want her, so she will rush to curry favor with her family."
Yu Wentao shook his head: "It's over, let's not talk about this."
Ye Fan took his hat and scarf to the company to have a look.
Ye Fan thought the buildings were expensive, so the two houses he bought this year were both courtyard houses. Siheyuan decoration is expensive, but simple decoration is simple. The people in Yujia Village have experience in cleaning up tile-roofed houses and can finish it in half a month.
On November 1, those who want to live on the ground can move there. Those who don’t want to empty the spittoon every day can stay as employees in the dormitory downstairs of the company. There is a toilet in the dormitory downstairs of the company.
Geng Zhiqin's small house is more expensive than a courtyard house because it has a toilet, a shower room and a gas stove.
When Ye Fan arrived at the company, he said it was cold, and then asked them if it was cold at night.
An old employee asked: "I heard that down quilts are warm?"
Ye Fan: "One hundred and twenty-one."
Everyone turned to Ye Fan in shock, with "Money Robbery!" written clearly in their eyes
Ye Fan couldn't help but think of Geng Zhiye and said with a smile: "It's so expensive. When the duck's feathers were the highest, the feathers cost five yuan per duck."
Two female employees asked at the same time: "The capital?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "Yangcheng. Yongcheng is cheaper but also expensive. The past two years are not much cheaper than the previous years. A family I know raises many ducks, but duck feathers only sell for two to three hundred per year."
"It is indeed the land of plenty and plenty in the south of the Yangtze River." One of Ye Fan's juniors sighed.
Ye Fan: "When you buy a quilt, I can introduce you to one. I use my own cotton to stretch the quilt and sew it myself. It's as warm as the ones from my hometown."
"Are they your relatives again?"
Ye Fan smiled and shook his head: "Relatives of relatives." Looking at several employees from the Central Plains region, "Do you have them in your hometown, too?"
"Yes." One of them said, "My family also wants to make some money. Senior sister knows a lot of people. What do you think we can do?"
Ye Fan: "Do you want to be stable or want to be adventurous?"
“I don’t dare to venture into it if I don’t have any knowledge.”
Ye Fan said: "The capital is not suitable. How about going to Yongcheng? It was also the base camp of your senior sister and me in the past. Lesbians can go to the clothing factory, and gay men can go to the shoe factory? You can also go to the mold factory. The salary is not high at the beginning, but It’s definitely better to have food and accommodation than at home.”
"Can't come to the capital?"
Ye Fan: "There are no private companies in the capital, which means that people who want stability can only go to state-owned units. The state-owned enterprises that are profitable can only get a temporary job. The state-owned enterprises that are not profitable are not enough to rent a house and eat. Twenty or thirty yuan a month is not enough. Yongcheng It is a special economic zone, and a new factory is born every week. It is difficult for this boss to go elsewhere. The important point is that if the boss refuses to pay back the money and the workers file a complaint, the government will generally not protect them because there are too many factories to protect them and it is better to treat them equally. If you go to a place with only a few private companies, the whole county will count on a few to cause trouble. , the government can also help press it down for economic and tax purposes.”
Ye Fan’s classmates asked: “Local protectionism?”
Ye Fan nodded: "So I suggest you go to the special economic zone if you want to work outside."
Junior sister asked: "Isn't Yangcheng better than Yongcheng?"
Ye Fan: "It's too far. If you're not from the south, I suggest you go to Yongcheng. Secondly, I'm familiar with Yongcheng. If the person is lost there, I can call the province to ask for him."
The junior brother who asked Ye Fan to introduce his work exclaimed: "I told you earlier!"
Ye Fan said with a smile: "This relationship should be used with caution. I am not familiar with the local leaders in Yongcheng, but I am familiar with the leaders of private enterprises and state-owned units. Your relatives are down-to-earth. They don't have to be very diligent. They go to and from get off work on time and don't cheat. They will be punished. The boss should train his own people. Now the state takes care of the distribution, and people who graduate from technical secondary schools can enter state-owned units, so that every private enterprise is short of talents. ”
The junior brother asked: "Senior sister, please help me ask how old do I need to be and what do I need to do?"
Ye Fan: "First write a letter to my hometown and ask who is willing to go out and what they can do if they go there. If they can't do it, are they willing to start as apprentices? Ask them clearly. I will go over to purchase goods at the end of the year to help you. Then you can send people away Go back and come back.”
Junior brother writes letters at noon, and then goes to the post office to send express letters.
Junior Brother received the letter before Ye Fan left. Ye Fan went to the south to exchange with Chang Guangrong. Chang Guangrong took Wei Jiji to the Commodity City. Ye Fan took Geng Zhiye's former guard to Yongcheng. Zhang Xiaoming and Yu Wentao's nephew stayed in Hangzhou to count the goods.
The situation in Yongcheng is the same as what Ye Fan said. Talents are in state-owned enterprises, fishermen do not like to work in factories, and private companies do not dare to cut corners in order to compete with state-owned units for orders. As a result, clothing factories are short of people, and leather shoe factories are also short of people. On the contrary, Ye Fan casually mentioned that the mold factory is not yet a private enterprise.
Maybe the state-owned mold factory pays well, and the mold masters haven't thought about going out to work alone.
Ye Fan handed over the male workers to the leather shoe factory and the female workers to the clothing factory. The factory owner made a three-part agreement with Ye Fan. He is a down-to-earth man who works hard and is not stingy. He will not give Ye Fan face when fishing in troubled waters.
Ye Fan thought the same way. When she returned to the capital, she told her junior brother about the matter and gave him the addresses of two factories.
It was already the twelfth lunar month of winter. Han Dawei had been busy for half a year and his body could no longer hold on. He asked Zhang Xiaoming to borrow a thousand yuan, plus the money he had saved over the years, to buy a store diagonally opposite Zhang Xiaozhi's audio and video store.
He sells breakfast in the morning, and after closing the stall, he cleans up the house and opens the door again. He doesn't care how much money he makes, because every dollar earned is a net profit.
Han Dawei's store was open for three days, and the newspaper published an article about the government ordering relevant departments to severely crack down on "speculation and corruption" and "official corruption."
Before New Year's Eve, Ye Fan's people came to Ye Fan's house for the last time to pick up goods. When they saw her, they sighed that luckily there was a store that had a business license. They could retreat to the store if they couldn't set up stalls in the park.
Yu Wentao's niece and son-in-law, who is also Yu Ginkgo's husband, usually sets up a stall in the park, but he dare not go out because of the severe crackdown. Men are used to making money, and now they are so anxious that they have blisters at home for three days.
Uncle Yu felt distressed when he found out about this, so he asked his sons and nephews to borrow money and planned to open a store in Dongcheng.
Yu Wentao chatted with Ye Fan about this matter, and Ye Fan said: "My wife is in the west of the imperial city, and if he goes to the east, something will happen after a long time."
“The stores here are expensive and I can’t afford them.”
Ye Fan: "Let's go and have a look near the school. It might be cheaper if it's not a commercial street."
Yu Wentao: "Buy and sell food? The children around us all go home to eat, and even have breakfast at the doorstep. Middle school students have no money to buy clothes, and if they sell candied haws, they won't make much money."
"Sells stationery, toys and handicrafts. I go to the south to stock up on goods during the winter and summer vacations. If I need to go there, I ask my uncle or his parents to look after him for two days. In a few years, I can take my two children over to attend middle school. Education in the city is definitely better than The countryside is good.”
Yu Wentao said: "The village brigade has a phone number. Can I call him and tell him?"
Ye Fan nodded. Yu Wentao immediately called the village.
My brother-in-law took his son-in-law over to check out the store the next day. The shop owner asked his uncle why he bought it, and he said he sold it for breakfast. The shop owner said business was not good. My uncle told me to give it a try.
A nephew of the shop owner tried to make money by setting up a stall. The shop owner wanted to sell his house and use some extra money to buy two units in a good location. He was eager to sell and didn't ask for a high price.
However, the house price has increased a lot in the past two years, and my uncle didn't have enough money, so he took his son-in-law to Ye Fan's house to borrow two thousand.
Fortunately, Ye Fan's Hanka business was good this year. At the end of the year, she made back the money she paid for the company's dormitories and stores.
Ye Fan saved a lot of money and left several thousand dollars at home, so Uncle Yu got the money when he went to Ye Fan's house. Worried that the money would be stolen, Uncle Yu directly drove the landlord to transfer the property.
After the New Year, Ye Fan didn't need to go south, so he still asked Chang Guangrong, Zhang Xiaoming and Wei Jianshe to take Yu Ginkgo's husband there.
Before leaving, Yu Gingxing gave Ye Fan all the money she borrowed from her brothers, and also reminded her husband that she would be interested in seeing and hearing more when they got to the south, because Ye Fan went there specifically for him this time.
Ye Fan really didn't get much goods this time, but Chang Guangrong, Zhang Xiaoming and Wei Jianshe each got a batch of small commodities. Considering that it was cheaper to wholesale together, they also gave the money to Ye Fan.
When they got to the car, Ye Fan settled the accounts and added the round trip expenses to the goods to get the real wholesale price.
When Ye Fan arrived at Erbao's house, he asked her: "Mom, I'll give you my lucky money."
"What do you want to do?" Ye Fan asked.
Erbao: "Let me pick out the goods you bring in first.
"Money addict!" Ye Fan poked her in the forehead, "All I bought were clothes. I went to Chang Guangrong for stationery, he bought a lot."
Erbao couldn't help but ask: "How can he sell the clothes he sells?"
"Maybe one of his friends also opens a shop in front of the school."
Ye Fan guessed it right——
Chang Guangrong's brother-in-law is honest, but Chang Guangrong is worried about him going out to work alone. But on the day when relatives and friends come to buy goods in the store, my wife, who is usually glorious, can handle it all by herself. My brother-in-law’s family is too embarrassed to eat and drink for free, so they always go out to do odd jobs.
Yu Yingxing asked his cousin to borrow money, and Yu Wentao's nephew talked about the matter with Chang Guangrong's brother-in-law. Chang Guangrong suddenly thought that there was an elementary school near his home, and there was a middle school opposite the elementary school. If he opened a stationery store at the intersection, Even if you make small profits but quick turnover, you can still make a hundred yuan a month.
Chang Guangrong used the company dividends Ye Fan gave him to buy two stores and gave them to his brother-in-law and his wife. The first floor is open for business, and there is a bathroom and kitchen on the second floor for people to live in. Their children happen to be in primary school, so the family can live in the store without the discomfort of Chang Guangrong.
During the Spring Festival, Chang Guangrong talked about this matter with his father and brother. His eldest brother was very supportive and believed that this was the right way.
Chang Guangrong's relationship with Ye Fan became more and more stable. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Chang Guangrong's mother urged Chang Guangrong to pay Yu Wentao New Year's greetings and actually keep in touch with Ye Fan.
When Yu Wentao saw Chang Guangrong's daughter-in-law, he said, "Just scold Geng Zhiqin if he disobeys, but don't take her into account."
Chang Guangrong heard something after listening for a while and winked at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan went out, and Dabao followed him. Chang Guangrong waved his hand: "It's none of your business."
Dabao: "One person is short-term, but two people are long-term."
Chang Guangrong couldn't argue with the kid: "You can listen, but you are not allowed to tell."
Dabao covered his mouth and raised his hands to promise not to speak.
Chang Guangrong asked Ye Fan: "Why is there something wrong with what Aunt Yu said?"
Of course Ye Fan didn't dare to tell the truth: "Xiao Qin complained to her several times that your brother-in-law was busy and fell asleep when he got home and touched the pillow. She thought Xiao Qin was ignorant. In the years since I was married to Geng Zhiye, Geng Zhiye never spent New Year's Eve with me. I’m not complaining either.”
Dabao nodded: "Grandma also said that if Uncle Laifu can talk well, she should think he is glib. Grandma said she is a problem."
Chang Guangrong nodded: "My brother-in-law is a little bit better. My brother-in-law is quieter than him. Fortunately, my sister-in-law knows how to deal with people. She was able to coax my wife into following me back to the capital back then. She is a member of the family who is easy to deceive."
Ye Fan: "Isn't this something worth showing off?"
Chang Guangrong smiled and said it was worth it.
Dabao saw that it was not a big deal: "I'm going to play with Chu Guangming."
Ye Fan: "If you have nothing to do at home, just ask him to come over."
Dabao waved his hand.
Chang Guangrong clicked his tongue: "You are kind-hearted."
Ye Fan: "His father is my second sister-in-law's cousin who hasn't been to the fifth server."
"Isn't it?" Chang Guangrong was surprised.
Ye Fan said: "Didn't I say that?"
"I knew there was such a boy, but I didn't know there was such a relationship." Chang Guangrong really didn't know, "Does Xiao Ming not know about it too?"
Ye Fan didn't seem to have said it specifically: "It's probably possible. Wait a minute, don't spread the word about this. I'm worried that his biological father will find out and report it."
Chang Guangrong didn't want to get involved with such a bastard: "I didn't even tell my wife. Does that kid know?"
Ye Fan nodded.
"I'm embarrassed to come to your house even though I know it. This guy has good character."
Ye Fan also thinks he is good: "He is half a head shorter than Dabao. I said he was embarrassed to pick Dabao's clothes last year and the year before last year. It's a pity that he has a scumbag father."
"Does it count as retribution for parents' sins on their children?"
Ye Fan thought about it and it was really like this.
Chang Guangrong was glad that he had many shortcomings, but he did not lack great virtues: "Does your teacher Geng have to wait until fifteen before he can come back?"
Ye Fan: "It's close. I can come back in the next two days at noon and evening. Maybe you can see him when you come over on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year next year."
"By the way, your boss will come back for a meeting this year, right?"
Ye Fan nodded: "I won't stay at home during the two sessions. If you want to know whether he is black or white, you have to go and meet him near the guest house. Or you might be able to meet him at noon the day after the meeting."
"They are all busy people." Chang Guangrong was not curious about Geng Zhiye and Geng Zhihua, because he often heard relatives and friends mention a few words, "Your second brother said he was a fitter, why don't I believe it."
Ye Fan smiled: "You can ask yourself."
"Where can I ask?" Chang Guangrong felt that Ye Fan was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Ye Fan told him to turn around. Chang Guangrong turned around instinctively. A car stopped at the intersection, and the people in the car turned around when they got out. Ye Fan laughed: "Second brother, what are you hiding from?"
Geng Zhihua scratched his head in embarrassment, took out his luggage and walked over: "Take your luggage."
Chang Guangrong couldn't believe it. He looked at Ye Fan and then at Geng Zhihui: "Are you the second brother Geng?"
Geng Zhihua stretched out his hand: "Hello. Who are you?"
Ye Fan: "Laifu's brother-in-law, my business partner Chang Guangrong."
"Hello Xiao Chang."
Chang Guangrong's smile froze. The last time he was called "Xiao Chang" was when he was an educated youth working in the countryside. It should be said that the title "Xiao Chang" really suits Geng Zhihui's occupation.
Ye Fan: "Where is sister-in-law?"
"Her mother was sick, and no one answered her calls at home. Her eldest brother went to the family home and told the guard that if he didn't go, he would wait to collect her mother's body." Geng Zhihua was upset, "Originally, I wanted to go. She asked me to come back and rest. ”
Chang Guangrong asked him to go into the house to rest, and when he walked away, he asked: "What is the temper of the Chu family? Do you want me to go and have a look?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "My nephew didn't take a vacation last year. A few days ago, he called his grandma and said that he could come back in February. Ask my nephew to come over then. The junior is so angry that even the Chu family wouldn't dare say that the child is ignorant. Don't care. If we say two harsh words, we will get a lot of trouble."
Chang Guangrong felt that he had learned a trick, and in the future he would let his kid out if it was difficult for him to come forward.
Ye Fan heard the sound of footsteps and looked back. Dabao came alone. When he arrived, he sighed: "Guangming is just like the old girl from the Confucius family who dared not go down to the attic."
Ye Fan laughed: "What a bad metaphor. Just say that his uncle is back."
"Second uncle?" Dabao turned his head and looked into the house. The second uncle was holding a basin and preparing to wash up. "Before last year and after this year, what kind of job did he have and why he missed New Year's Eve on vacation?" Gulu finished and ran into the alley again.
