Chapter 400 New Career
The young man scratched his head. "You don't remember me? I'm Chen Ping'an, an educated youth sent to the countryside by your brigade. You taught me how to wash clothes and even roasted field mice for me to eat."
Yu Hui blinked and searched carefully in the original owner's memory. There was indeed such a person.
When he went to the countryside, he didn't know anything and cried over the dirty clothes that he couldn't wash clean. The original owner saw this and taught him how to wash them.
When he was crying with hunger, the people caught field mice to supplement their nutrition and roasted them for him to eat. The man only stayed in the countryside for three years before returning to the city.
"Chen Ping'an, it's you."
"Yes, it's me." Chen Pingan nodded vigorously, "You are completely different from before. I was afraid that I had made a mistake."
In the past, she was just a skinny, dark-haired girl. Now she has grown into a young lady. Not only is she beautiful, but she also dresses very fashionably. There are not many people in the city who are as fashionable as her.
"Comrade Xiaohui, how come you are in Yucheng?" Chen Pingan asked curiously.
He remembered that she was an orphan without parents.
Yu Hui: "I'm married. My husband is a soldier in the suburban military region."
The corners of Chen Ping'an's mouth slowly turned downwards. He didn't expect that she was married to someone else. The joy of reunion was gradually diluted by bitterness.
"So, that's how it is. After I left, I wrote you a letter. Did you receive it?"
After he returned to the city, he wrote to her several times, but each time she didn't reply, so he stopped writing.
Yu Hui shook her head. The original owner had never received it.
Didn’t receive it?
Chen Pingan: "Maybe it got lost in the mail."
Yu Hui: "That should be it."
He sent it to the original owner but he didn't receive it, so there was no other possibility except that it was lost.
"I just heard you two chatting. Do you want to rent a store?" Chen Pingan changed the subject.
Yu Hui nodded.
"What do you want to do by renting a store?" Chen Pingan was very curious.
Yu Hui said truthfully, "Isn't it possible to be self-employed now? I want to rent a storefront and open a clothing store, where I can make and sell my own clothes."
Chen Ping'an didn't expect that she would want to open a clothing store.
"If you want to rent a store, you can't just look on the street. You have to go to the housing authority and ask. The houses are under the jurisdiction of the housing authority. If you want to look at a street, go to the housing authority and ask if there are any vacant stores available."
Yu Hui didn't expect this to happen. She smiled and thanked Chen Pingan, "You locals really know a lot. We're all from the countryside and have never rented a house before, so we all know we have to go to the Housing Authority to ask. Thanks to you, otherwise we would still be like flies on the roof, flying around everywhere."
Chen Pingan touched the back of his neck a little embarrassedly. "If you open a clothing store, you can come to me to buy cloth. I'm an accountant at the textile factory. I can help you apply for some discounts from the factory."
His mother used to be an accountant in a textile factory. She felt sorry for him suffering in the countryside, so she asked him to take her job back to the city. So he returned to the city quite early, three years ago.
Yu Hui and Bai Chunhua's eyes lit up, "That's great, I'll be grateful to trouble you when the time comes."
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "What's the trouble? You helped me before, so it's only right that I help you now."
Yu Hui didn't chat with Chen Pingan for long before going to the Housing Management Office with Bai Chunhua.
When I asked at the housing management office, they told me directly that there was a vacant store for rent at that location on that street.
Bai Chunhua and Yu Hui both went to look at the shops in those locations, and finally chose a shop at the end of the street behind the state-owned store.
Although it is at the end of the street, there is a large state-owned barber shop next door. There are more than a dozen barbers in it. There are still people queuing in front of the shop at this time, and most of them are women.
Their clothing store is next to a state-owned barber shop. The female comrades who are waiting for their haircuts can stop by their store while they are waiting. Doesn't this bring in business?
It was already late after the viewing, so the two went home first and made an appointment to go to the housing management office together to rent a house the next day.
At night, Yu Hui was lying in bed, telling Gu Huai about a shop she had her eye on. "Don't be fooled by the fact that it's at the end of the street, but there's a state-owned barber shop next door. That barber shop's business is booming, and their customers can also become our customers."
Gu Huai looked at Yu Hui with a smile. He liked the way her eyes lit up when she talked about her favorite career.
When speaking, every expression is vivid, full of vitality and particularly attractive.
"Tomorrow we will go to rent a store, so we can see what it looks like inside and think about how to decorate it later." Yu Hui clasped her hands together, full of anticipation for her new career.
"Why don't you let Mom take care of the kids? That way you'll have more time to focus on your career, instead of having to juggle both your career and the kids."
His original intention of marrying Yu Hui was to have someone who could take care of the family and help raise the children.
But now, he wanted to see her do what she liked, and didn't want her to be hindered by taking care of the family and children, nor did he want her to work hard to balance career and family.
Yu Hui was stunned for a moment, "But doesn't Mom have to take care of mother-in-law?"
Gu Huai: "Then take them all over. We can accommodate them at home anyway."
There is still an empty study room, which is always a hidden danger.
If his mother comes, Hongmei can sleep with her mother-in-law, and his mother can take Beibei to sleep in the study.
Once his mother comes, she will definitely not let Beibei sleep with them.
Yu Hui actually likes Zhao Changying, the mother-in-law, and Gu Huai's mother-in-law quite a bit. They are different from other elderly people. They don't talk much and don't like to preach. It's very comfortable to get along with them.
She would have no objection to living with them. She would be happy and relaxed to have someone to help take care of the children.
She thought about it seriously and said, "Let's see first. If we really can't take care of it, we can do it later."
"OK."
After breakfast the next day, Yu Hui took her money and ID and went into the city.
After Yu Hui met up with Bai Chunhua in the city, they went to the Housing Management Office. Because Yu Hui was a military dependent, the procedures for renting a house were handled quite quickly. The monthly rent for a 100-square-meter store was only 45 yuan.
After the formalities were completed, Yu Hui took the key and went to the store with Bai Chunhua.
Use the key to open the double doors of the shop, and you will see a large open space that runs from beginning to end.
The walls were painted white, but a lot of it has fallen off, so they need to be repainted. There are also some pits on the cement floor, so it needs to be leveled again, and the color of the door also needs to be changed.
At the end of the opening, there is a small door leading directly to the backyard. Although it is called a backyard, it is actually more like a small patio. There is also a small kitchen and two small rooms at the back, which can be used as a warehouse or for living.
Yu Hui toured the two small rooms and said to Bai Chunhua, "We can use these two small rooms as our clothing studios."
studio?
It was the first time that Bai Chunhua heard this word, and she felt a sense of awe.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Yu Hui looked around, patted Bai Chunhua on the shoulder and said, "This is the starting point of our career, but it will definitely not be the end. Sister Chunhua, our career is about to begin, are you ready?"
Bai Chunhua nodded vigorously, "It's done."
She wants to work hard, she wants to fight, she wants to make a career, to let those who look down on her see that she, Bai Chunhua, is not a useless village girl who knows nothing.
