Chapter 197 There is a spider on your head
"What is Gu Huai doing in our office?" Secretary Wu walked into the office and asked Secretary Zhao.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw Gu Huai going out.
Secretary Zhao said truthfully, "His wife wants to open a noodle shop and asked if we would rent the empty rooms outside the military family compound."
"Open a noodle shop?"
"Hasn't the country's policy changed to allow individual businesses now? Deputy Head Gu said he's already checked with the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and they've found out the policy supports opening a restaurant. His wife doesn't have a job, so she wants to open a noodle shop."
Secretary Wu rolled his eyes and frowned, "Wouldn't it be a bad influence if the family members of our military cadres opened a shop outside?"
Secretary Zhao laughed and said, "What's so bad about this? Isn't there a rule that says military dependents can't do business?"
"If military wives can start businesses and find themselves lucrative jobs, it will save our military district a lot of trouble!"
Secretary Wu nodded with his eyelids lowered. Since he could open a restaurant, could he also let his mother come to the military family compound and open a shop selling steamed buns?
His mother is also very good at making steamed buns. His grandfather ran a bun shop in his early years, and his mother inherited his grandfather's skills.
His grandfather was in business, so he knew from a young age that no matter what era, people who do business are the ones who make the most money.
Especially now, apart from canteens and state-owned restaurants, there are few private restaurants. Many people are tired of the food in the canteen at home and want to change their taste.
If you open a breakfast shop and sell some buns and steamed buns, you will definitely make money.
It just so happened that Wen Zhaodi didn't have a job, so she could run the bun shop with her mother.
School started on September 1st. Yu Hui and Qian Lan took several children to the school to register Gu Dong, Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin.
This year, the five-year elementary school system was changed to a six-year system. Yu Jianshe was promoted to the sixth grade, and Gu Dong was promoted from the first grade to the second grade.
After registering and getting my books, I went home and classes officially started the next day, Monday.
As soon as he got home, Gu Dong started reading.
He made up his mind to study hard and give his mother a slap in the face for looking down on him, so he planned to review the textbooks in advance.
When I come across something I don’t understand or a word I don’t recognize, I ask my mother.
Yu Hui also patiently explained it to him, and since he was willing to put in the effort, he was able to understand it quickly.
Gu Huai arrived home at six in the afternoon, just in time for dinner.
"There's news about renting a shop." Gu Huai said, picking up the bowl.
"What do you mean?" Yu Hui became alert when she heard the news about renting a shop.
Gu Huai smiled and said, "The military district leaders have approved it and are very supportive. The rent is five yuan a month, paid monthly."
Five dollars? That's a steal!
"That's great. When can we sign the contract?" Yu Hui asked hurriedly, not even bothering to eat the noodles.
Gu Huai said, "You can come anytime. If you like a room, go directly to the logistics department and find Director Zhao to sign the contract."
Yu Hui said, "I'll go tomorrow and pick up your salary at the same time."
Yesterday I was busy helping my child register and didn't go to collect his salary.
Gu Huai nodded and took a big mouthful of noodles.
Yu Hui lowered her head and ate a mouthful of noodles, then thought of something else. "Let's go outside and look at those shops."
"Okay." Gu Huai nodded.
After dinner, Gu Huai quickly collected the dishes and washed them.
The family walked out of the staff quarters to take a break. Beibei didn't want her parents to hold her, so she walked with her short legs. Her brothers were afraid that she would fall, so they carefully protected her.
Gu Huai looked at the four children with a smile, then looked at Yu Hui beside him. In fact, this was the life he wanted most.
I can go home and have a hot meal, then take my children for a walk and watch them grow up little by little.
He sincerely hoped that Yu Hui could change her mind within these three years.
Noticing Gu Huai's gaze, Yu Hui glanced sideways at him and frowned, "Why are you looking at me?"
Gu Huai, who was caught, was thinking about how to respond when he saw a spider crawling on her head. He said, "Don't move. There's a spider on your head."
What the hell?
spider?
Yu Hui was controlled for three seconds, and then she jumped and hopped, shaking her head.
"Ahhh, there's a spider!"
What disgusts her is spiders. It's not that she is afraid of them, but that she is disgusted by them.
Hearing her scream, the children walking in front were startled.
Beibei even stretched out his hands and ran towards his mother who was screaming in fear.
"Mom, Mom..."
Yu Hui jumped and swung, but the spider remained motionless and crawled tightly on her head.
"Don't move." Gu Huai grabbed Yu Hui, who was jumping and flailing around. "I'll take it down for you."
Yu Hui lowered her head and clenched her hands into fists, only then could she hold herself still, her whole body trembling slightly.
Gu Huai held her hand and naturally felt her slight tremor. He didn't expect that she, who grew up in the countryside, would be so afraid of spiders.
He reached out and took the spider off her head, threw it on the ground, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, I have taken the spider off and thrown it on the ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hui stepped on the spider on the ground to death.
Gu Huai: "..."
Yu Hui exhaled, "Spiders are really disgusting."
She was once pranked by the children in the orphanage. They threw a spider into her clothes through the collar. She jumped for a long time before the spider fell out, and was bitten by the spider. Since then, she has been particularly disgusted by spiders.
Gu Huai: So she’s not afraid, she’s just disgusted by spiders?
"Mom..." Beibei hugged her mother's thighs and looked up at her worriedly.
"Mom, are you okay?" Gu Xixi asked nervously.
Yu Hui shook her head, bent down and picked up Beibei, "I was just disgusted by the spider."
Hearing this, Gu Dong and Gu Nan paused as they were walking back and looked at each other. They had thrown spiders at their mother before...
They hoped that the spider today would not remind their mother of the time they threw spiders at her.
The family moved outside the staff quarters. At this time, the grocery store and tailor shop were closed, and there were four empty shops next to them.
"Which one do you think looks better?" Yu Hui asked Gu Huai for his opinion.
Gu Huai thought for a moment and said, "This one next to the tailor shop looks better. It's next to the tailor shop and the grocery store, so it can get some of the popularity. It's also closer to the main gate and has a larger area."
Yu Hui nodded and also thought this one was better.
"This one, then. Let me see the number." Yu Hui looked at the number in the dim streetlight. "Military Family Compound, Number 03."
Noted.
The next morning, after Gu Dong went to school and Gu Huai went to work, Yu Hui took her three children and went to the camp office building with Qian Lan.
It was the first time for Gu Nan and Gu Xi to come to the camp. Although they were full of curiosity, they still followed their mother obediently and did not run around.
Yu Hui received Gu Huai's September salary and bonus. When counting the money, Qian Lan's eyes widened and she was extremely envious.
