Chapter 260 All Hard-earned Money
Zhao Changying asked about Gu Huai's family of six.
Gu He said everything was fine, and then talked about the noodle shop that Yu Hui opened with someone else?
I can sell four to five hundred bowls of noodles a day, and the daily net income should be dozens of yuan, so I don’t have to worry about sales at all.
After hearing what he said, Zhao Tieying and Gu Pingshan felt relieved.
Wang Mei: "Several dozen a day, doesn't that mean you have to make hundreds of dollars a month?"
"That's more than that." Gu He shook his head. "Xiao Hui and her neighbor Qian Lan are in a 190% partnership. She owns 90% and Qian Lan owns 10%. I heard from her husband that she got over 100 yuan last month."
Gu Hai exclaimed in surprise: "That's over a thousand a month!"
"Wow, this is too profitable." Tian Ying exclaimed in amazement.
"Then the youngest brother and his friends must have made a fortune, right?" Wang Mei was extremely envious.
Zhao Changying was also surprised. She really didn't expect that opening a store could be so profitable.
"What kind of fortune do you want to make? All the money I earn is hard-earned. No matter how much I earn, it all belongs to Xiaohui and the others."
It has nothing to do with them or their family.
Gu He said, "It's really hard work. I get up before dawn, and after breakfast I have to mix dough and stir-fry ingredients. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to drink water. My arms are so weak after I'm done."
It is true that you can make money, but it is also really hard work. In any case, not a single penny is earned in vain.
Wang Mei whispered, "It's harder than farming."
Whether working or opening a shop in the city, it is definitely easier than farming.
Zhao Changying glared at Wang Mei again and said, "If you have the ability to open a shop with your skills, you don't need to farm."
Wang Mei touched her nose awkwardly and stopped talking. She just didn't have that ability.
"By the way." Gu He slapped his forehead, "Xiaohui is on the newspaper." As he said that, he went to look through the newspaper in his bag.
Gu Family: In the newspaper? Which newspaper was Xiaohui in?
"Let me see it quickly." Gu He took out the newspaper and Gu Pingshan quickly reached out to take it.
The other members of the Gu family also stood behind him, craning their necks to look.
"It's Xiaohui." Zhao Changying said excitedly, pointing at the person in the newspaper.
"Where?"
"It's really Xiaohui."
"Xiaohui looks really pretty now."
"Old man, please read quickly what is written in the newspaper." Zhao Changying had attended a literacy class and didn't know many words.
Gu Pingshan cleared his throat and read the entire newspaper aloud.
The old lady sat in her reclining chair, listening intently.
"This newspaper is so well written! I'll take it to the village committee office tomorrow and have the brigade announcer read it before work starts and ends in the morning."
Xiao Hui has brought honor to the Gu family. She even opened a noodle shop and was featured in the newspaper.
Zhao Changying nodded and said, "Xiaohui is from our village. Her article in the newspaper should be heard by everyone in the village."
"That's right..." the eldest daughter-in-law Zheng Rong said with a smile.
Early the next morning, a large group of people knew that Yu Hui, the orphan girl married by the old Gu family, not only opened a noodle shop in the city, but also made it to the newspaper because of it.
This also allowed the more isolated villagers to learn about the country's new policies and become self-employed.
The noodle shop was closed on October 1st, so Yu Hui, Gu Hongmei and Gu Qiuyan cut the cloth they had bought for making clothes and made clothes for Gu Dong and the others.
In the afternoon when he had some free time, Gu Huai would push his bicycle to the playground and teach her how to ride one.
Gu Hongmei, Gu Qiuyan and their four children also went to watch.
Yu Hui held the handlebars, straddled the bicycle, and put both feet on the ground.
Gu Huai stood beside her, holding the handlebars with one hand and the back seat of the bicycle with the other.
"When you step on the pedal with your right foot, sit on it with your buttocks, and step on the pedal with your left foot at the same time."
"Is that so?" Yu Hui pretended not to know and followed his instructions. She stepped on the pedals, lifted her buttocks to sit on the seat, and pretended to turn the handlebars unsteadily.
"oops……"
"Don't be nervous, don't panic, sit up straight, hold the faucet with both hands, and look straight ahead."
Yu Hui pedaled slowly, and the bicycle moved forward steadily.
"That's right, that's it, hold on." Gu Huai said as he tried to loosen his hand that was holding the faucet.
Yu Hui glanced at him, and he thought she was nervous and scared, so he comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm holding you from behind, I won't let go."
Yu Hui: Actually, you can relax.
She pretended to be unskilled and rode around for a while before Gu Huai quietly let go. Yu Hui had already noticed his trick, but she still rode around again. When she saw him, she asked in surprise, "When did you let go?"
Gu Xixi complained: "Dad let go a long time ago."
Yu Hui stepped on the brakes and the bicycle stopped. She put one foot down and then got off the bike, glaring at Gu Huai in pretended anger.
Gu Huai thought she looked cute like this, and the corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably. "I let go because I saw you already knew how to ride. You can practice riding in the family compound and then go on the road."
Gu Hongmei: "Fourth sister-in-law, you are really amazing. You learned it in one go."
She had asked You Shengxing to teach her how to ride a bicycle before, so that whenever he didn't need the bicycle, she could ride a bicycle back to her parents' home to see them.
But You Shengxing thought she was stupid, and since she didn't learn after the first time, he stopped teaching her.
"Riding a bicycle is quite simple. Hongmei, you and Qiuyan should learn it too. It will be convenient for you to go anywhere by bicycle in the future."
Since every family has a bicycle, everyone should learn how to ride one if they can.
Gu Hongmei and Gu Qiuyan, aunt and niece, looked at each other and said, "Okay."
Gu Hongmei and Gu Qiuyan learned quickly and soon both knew how to ride a bicycle.
After Gu Hongmei learned how to ride a bicycle, she honestly felt that she had not been riding a bicycle for many years. It was not that she was too stupid to learn it before, but that You Shengxing was too stupid to teach her.
The noodle shop opened on October 2nd. Regular customers all knew that the noodle shop opened today, so there were quite a lot of people, not only many old customers, but also many new customers.
Because the noodle shop opened, the bun shop's business today is better than the previous two days.
Even if Wen Zhaodi didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that their steamed bun shop benefited from the noodle shop.
After finishing the cleaning at around 2 o'clock, Qian Lan looked at Yu Hui and said, "Xiao Hui, you and Deputy Head Gu, take the children back first. Hong Mei and I will be enough for you tonight."
Yu Hui looked at her and said, "Go back and rest for a while. We'll come back to open the door at five o'clock."
Anyway, the toppings and noodles are prepared, so just come over at five o'clock to open the door and cook. No one will come to eat before five o'clock, so there's no need to wait in the store.
Qian Lan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Qian Lan took her two children to the noodle shop at 4:30 to clean up and open the store. Yu Hui and Gu Huai did not go, only Gu Hongmei went to the store at 5 o'clock.
There are much fewer people at night, and two people can handle it all, one cooking noodles and the other collecting money and cleaning up.
So after the peak period was over, Qian Lan sent her two children back home.
As soon as Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin returned home, they came to Gu's house to play with Gu Dong and the others. Yu Hui called the two brothers over and gave them two dollars each.
"Thank you, Aunt Yu."
Yu Lixin reached out to take it, but Yu Jianshe didn't. He snatched the money from his brother's hand and returned it. "Aunt Yu, we can't take your money."
Yu Lixin pouted his lips. This was given to him by Aunt Yu. Why should his brother snatch it back from him?
Yu Hui: "This money is not given to you for free. It is your salary for helping out at the noodle shop last month."
