"Buy it! That will cost a lot of money." Liang Meidi hesitated.

"It's best to buy it." Deng Qingling looked at Liang Meidi and said, "Second sister-in-law, think about it, if your business stabilizes and you make a lot of money, what if the landlord gets jealous and wants to open a shop too? What if he wants to kick you out?

Also, once a business is established, the most taboo thing is to move around. Not only does it waste time, but it can also easily lose customers."

It would be fine if the new store location is better than the original one and has more convenient transportation.

That might bring in more business.

On the contrary, if the new store is located in a remote area with inconvenient transportation, the flow of people will naturally decrease and business will become worse.

"You're right. I'll talk to your second brother when he comes back. We'll go look at houses tomorrow. The sooner we open the shop, the sooner we can make money." Liang Meidi said, looking at Deng Qingling and asked, "Ah Qing, how much did you buy that shop for?"

Deng Qingling: "I spent about a hundred yuan on that house."

"About a hundred yuan? So expensive!" Liang Meidi swallowed and said.

Deng Qingling smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I have 60 square meters there, which can be used as a shop and a place for living. It's worth a hundred yuan.

Now that more and more people are doing business, the price of shops and houses will only get higher and higher.

So if you want to buy one, do it early, preferably one that you can live in, so you don’t have to go back and forth.”

"Snap"

"Buy it, let's buy it tomorrow." Liang Meidi slammed the table excitedly.

Their sister-in-law will not cheat them. Who doesn’t want their parents’ family to be well off?

If buying a house and opening a shop is not a good idea, why would my sister-in-law buy a house first and then open a shop?

The youngest son told his family privately that his sister-in-law's shop made more than 20 yuan on the first day.

More than twenty yuan, that’s a worker’s monthly salary.

Everyone says that my sister-in-law is bold and that a woman like her dares to open a shop and do business.

So it’s always right to listen to your sister-in-law.

At this time, Zhou Yangdi's voice came from the kitchen, "Second sister-in-law, come in quickly and help serve the dishes."

"I'm coming." Liang Meidi responded loudly, then whispered to Deng Qingling, "Ah Qing, dinner is about to start. Please ask them to come back for dinner."

"Yeah." Deng Qingling responded and walked out of the main room.

When Deng Qingling came out, she saw Guo Jianping and several other adults sitting in the yard eating chestnuts and chatting happily.

The Guo Ninghuan sisters pulled a few boys to jump rope there.

Even the two big boys Guo Haochen and Deng Xin are no exception.

They didn't want to do it at first. They felt that they had grown up and shouldn't play this childish game anymore.

But they couldn't resist Guo Ninghuan and Guo Ningwan's coquettishness, so they came to make up the number. Including them, there were exactly three people in one team, two men and one woman.

"It's time to eat!" Deng Qingling shouted.

Hearing Deng Qingling's words, Guo Haoxi, who was standing there like a wooden stake, holding the rope, said impatiently: "Little sister, jump faster, it's time to eat."

"Second brother, why are you in such a hurry? You have to let me skip this level." Guo Ningwan said without stopping.

By the time she finishes dancing, their end will have reached their waists, and she will be one level higher than her older brothers and sisters.

"Winning the dance doesn't mean you can make a living. You girls are just trouble."

Although he said some words of disgust, Guo Haoxi still stood there obediently as a pillar.

His younger sister refused to give up until she won and insisted on competing to see who was better.

Seeing the children still dancing, Deng Qingling walked over and said, "Why are you still dancing? It's almost time for dinner."

Guo Ning said with a smile: "We are waiting for the little sister to finish dancing."

"It will be ready soon." Guo Ningwan said.

In a short while she had danced the rest of the steps.

"Yeah! I won." Guo Ningwan ran to Deng Qingling happily and said to her, "Mom, I won! I jumped higher than my second brother and the others."

Deng Qingling saw that she looked like she was begging for praise, while Guo Haochen and the others looked helpless. She smiled and said, "Wanwan is really amazing. Mom will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two skipping ropes this afternoon."

While speaking, Deng Qingling wiped the sweat from Guo Ningwan's forehead.

It is said that more exercise can make you taller. It is also good to let children have time to exercise more so that they can grow taller and not be as short as her.

"Mom, you're so nice." Guo Ningwan said with a smile.

Guo Haoxi: "Mom, can you buy us a basketball?"

He saw students from the next class playing basketball and he wanted to play with them, but they refused to let him play.

They said there were too many people and it was inconvenient.

There were indeed quite a lot of people, more than twenty students.

They played basketball after class. He was very jealous and ran to watch them play basketball every time.

"Buy a basketball?" Deng Qingling asked.

"Yes, Mom, just buy me one. I promise it won't affect my studies." After saying that, Guo Haoxi made a gesture to Guo Haochen, indicating that he should help talk to him.

"Mom, buy me a basketball. When I have time, I can play basketball with my brother and cousin." Guo Haochen said.

As for boys, how many of them don’t like playing basketball?

Just then, when they heard about buying a basketball, the Deng Xin brothers also came over.

He begged Deng Qingling to buy him a basketball because his parents were reluctant to buy it for him.

If Deng Qingling bought it, they could play basketball with Guo Haoxi and others.

Deng Xin and Guo Haochen are in the same first grade of junior high school. Deng De is one grade lower than Guo Haoxi. Sometimes they play together after class.

Deng Qingling: "Okay, buy it, but I can't buy a basketball today. The town's supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have any."

Basketballs were very expensive at that time, costing more than ten yuan each.

Deng Qingling had seen it in the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town, but never in the town’s supply and marketing cooperative. Maybe it was because it was expensive.

"Don't supply and marketing cooperatives have everything?" Guo Haoxi asked.

Deng Qingling: "It's too expensive. The town's supply and marketing cooperative rarely has it. A basketball costs over ten yuan. It's hard to sell in town, and of course people won't bring it back to sell."

"It costs more than ten dollars? Why is it so expensive?" Guo Haoxi widened his eyes.

Guo Ninghuan said, "Brother, why don't you give up the basketball and jump rope with us? It's only ten yuan. How many bowls of wontons will Mom have to sell to buy that?"

"We just want basketball, Mom. We will work hard in the future and will definitely earn back the money we spent on buying basketball." Guo Haochen said firmly to Deng Qingling.

Deng Qingling smiled and said, "Mom believes you. Your dad will be going back to the county town this afternoon. Ask him to bring you a basketball during the National Day holiday."

In 1980, there was only a week between the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.

"Okay, I'll go tell my dad now." After saying that, Guo Haoxi ran to find Guo Jianping.

Deng Qingling: "Let's go, wash our hands and have dinner."
