After being pushed into the water, rumors spread like wildfire. Her cousin, arguing and making a scene, refused to marry the husband from her past life, only because he saved Shen Jintao when she f...
Chapter 253: Talk to Mom Straight to Talk (This is an extra chapter)
Chen Jintao introduced Huo Nanxi's identity to Luo Wei, and Luo Wei shook hands with Huo Nanxi gentlemanly.
Lowe enjoyed the meal very much and was conquered by Chinese cuisine once again.
After seeing Luo Wei off, Shen Jintao went to the lobby to make a phone call. She has always been the kind of person who takes action immediately after having an idea.
I thought it would take several turns before her mother could answer the phone, but I didn't expect that her mother was in the store in the county town today. Yes, Xu Xuemei's milk tea dessert shop has opened in the county town.
We have made a lot of money in the past two years, especially this year, the business has reached a peak, young people are more and more fond of milk tea, the economy is better overall, of course, will not be reluctant to spend money on a cup of milk tea, during breaks girls will also make appointments with their good friends to sit in the milk tea shop together, young couples no longer just go to the park, but prefer places like this where there is food and drink.
Girls in particular can hardly resist desserts. There has already been a milk tea trend among young people there. If a guy is reluctant to buy you milk tea when he is dating you, he definitely doesn't really care about you.
With the money, Xu Xuemei gritted her teeth and installed a telephone in her store in the county town to facilitate contact with suppliers.
"Hello!"
Xu Xuemei's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mom, it's me!"
There was also a hint of joy in Shen Jintao's tone.
"It's Taozi, aren't you busy today? How come you have time to call your mother?"
Xu Xuemei was also very happy to hear her daughter's voice.
Chen Jintao felt a little guilty when she heard this. Sometimes when she was busy, she would really forget to contact her parents, especially since the phone could not be moved, so sometimes she might not be able to find Xu Xuemei.
"Mom, I'm not busy today. I just concluded a deal to earn foreign exchange. Isn't your daughter amazing?"
She is a little bit boastful, but only a strong woman would act like a little girl in front of her mother.
"Really? My daughter is so successful!" Xu Xuemei was also very happy when she heard it.
"Mom, there is something I want to discuss with you." Shen Jintao spoke after considering it for a while.
"Just tell me what you want to say!" Xu Xuemei heard her daughter's hesitation and thought she had encountered some difficulties. Thinking of her daughter's words that she had just concluded a deal, she continued, "Are you short of money? I have saved up a lot of money. I will transfer it to you later."
Chen Jintao's eyes were red, "Mom, that's not it. I want you and my dad to come here to live. I bought a house here, so you have a place to live when you come over. Dabao and Erbao also miss their grandparents."
Xu Xuemei felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "But there are so many shops here..."
Chen Jintao expressed her thoughts. Although she had to give up 30% of her shares, she basically got rid of them. She could get 70% of the dividends every year, which was actually pretty good. "Mom, I really need you here. The factory will definitely need to be expanded later. My younger brother is still in school. Although he will graduate soon, his ambition is not to do business. He is not cut out for it. I would not feel at ease if everyone I trust managed it."
"My mother-in-law also has to take care of the children, so she definitely can't go to the factory. I can only think of you."
Hearing her daughter's words "I really need you", Xu Xuemei no longer cared about anything else and said, "Okay, then I'll go talk to your uncle and aunt later. I'll go over after things are settled here."
Shen Jintao smiled and said, "Mom, come and help me manage the factory, and I will give you and my dad some dividends!"
"Little girl, why are you telling your mother all this?" Xu Xuemei didn't take it seriously at all. She was just helping her daughter manage the factory, so why would she ask for a share of the profits?
But what she didn't know was that since Chen Jintao asked her to come, she would definitely give it to her. She couldn't let her family suffer any loss.
After Xu Xuemei hung up the phone, she went to find her husband first. Shen Jianmin is no longer the team leader because their team distributed the property to each household in 1979. There is nothing good for him to do as the team leader. It is understandable that even his old father does not want to be the team leader. Therefore, he simply quit his job as the team leader. Anyway, there is no place for him in the team.
After the distribution of land to each household, even those households with a disadvantaged position became active. After all, except for the part that had to be paid as public grain, the rest of the grain from their own fields belonged to them, and the grain output increased visibly.
However, because of Grandpa Shen, Shen Jianmin is still in the village most of the time, mainly to take care of his father. But his life has been comfortable in the past two years, and he has become more open-minded. He doesn't ask about the affairs of the second house at all. The old man is also kind-hearted and fat, and looks like a healthy old man.
He returned to the village at lightning speed on a motorcycle. Even though it was not the first time he had seen such a man, the sound of the motorcycle engine still attracted the attention of many young men.
The girls didn't have much feeling about motorcycles. At most they would sigh and say things like "it's great to have money and motorcycles are fast."
But there is no man who doesn't love cars. It just so happens that the only motorcycle in the village is ridden by a woman. Although Shen Jianmin sometimes rides one, for some reason, every time Xu Xuemei rides a motorcycle, it always makes people feel very cool, but when it comes to Shen Jianmin, it feels a little lacking.
They didn’t know that there was a word in later generations called “sense of contrast”, and Xu Xuemei was that person.
But she lived a good life at her mother's house. Xu Xuemei had always been generous. She bought this motorcycle second-hand, but it still cost her several thousand yuan, which was almost the same as a telephone.
She was indeed reluctant at first, but then she thought that having a motorcycle would be so much more convenient. It only took her two days to learn how to ride a bike. Plus, she had the money and knew how to maintain it, so she didn't look like she was fifty years old at all, but a beautiful woman in her early forties.
Shen Jianguo could not help but straighten his back, looking at the high-spirited Xu Xuemei, and then thinking of the crazy woman at home...
He just couldn't understand why he could never compare to his eldest brother. His eldest brother had been a taciturn person since he was young, and he couldn't say a word even if you hit him with three sticks. Before the family split up, everyone lived the same life, but after the split up, the eldest family's life got better and better, while their family's life got worse and worse.
This gap will most likely never be closed. Shen Jianguo bent down with a wry smile and continued to work, his back hunched over.
Someone was muttering in a low voice not far away, "What do you think the second branch of the Shen family wants? If they had been nicer to the first branch in the past, they wouldn't be living like this now. The Xu family has also become prosperous. If this family is good, wouldn't his eldest brother and sister-in-law help them?"
