Chapter 115: Flattery
The long-awaited policy has finally been finalized.
Not only were the Meng family members excited, but other people also looked incredulous when they heard the news.
Not only have policies been relaxed, but people have also been encouraged to work, start businesses and get rich.
At school, everyone could just sigh after watching the film. After all, they are still students and study is the most important thing.
Inside the village, the villagers were excited when they heard what was read out on the radio.
I can really do business now, that’s great. I don’t have to be sneaky when doing things in the future.
Those who have already established a business are planning how to move forward and increase their efforts to continue to expand their business.
Those who have done nothing are also eager to make a move and don't want to miss this opportunity to make money.
But what should they do? They had never thought about this before, but suddenly the opportunity came before them and they were at a loss for what to do.
In the end, most of these people just think about it, and few can succeed. Even if they can make money, they are following in other people's footsteps and don't earn much. When they encounter difficulties, they are easily eliminated, just like the Meng family in the previous life.
Therefore, those who can seize the opportunity are those who are prepared.
Meng Changli met her sister at school, and then went to the town office to find Director Tang.
She had already told Director Tang about renting a street house a few days ago, and Director Tang asked her to wait for two days, so this time she came to inquire about the situation.
The yard on the street was originally empty, so it didn't matter who used it. The reason they didn't want to put it outside before was simply because they were afraid that the higher-ups would not allow such behavior.
Now, the policy has been opened up, not only to the private sector, but also to major changes in local finances.
Director Tang said, "If you don't come today, I'll have to go to the stall to find you tomorrow. I've already talked to the guy on the street, so go find him now, sign the contract, pay the rent, and there won't be any problems."
"Director Tang, thank you so much."
Meng Changli hurried to the street office.
I went to town today because, firstly, I was so happy to hear the news of the opening and wanted to come and share it with my sister. Secondly, I also wanted to ask about the house. I can't delay any longer. If this place doesn't work out, she has to find another place.
So when Meng Changli went out, she took all her money and ID with her.
The people from the street office asked Meng Changli to sign a self-drafted rental contract, told her some precautions, and then handed her the keys.
The next day, after finishing business in town, Meng Changli and He Jinqiu went to the new yard, rolled up their sleeves, and cleaned it thoroughly inside and out.
The yard has only been abandoned for a year. Apart from the thick dust, the tables and chairs that were originally left there are still in good condition and can be used after a little cleaning.
However, this place was just a workshop before and no one had ever lived here. If Meng Changli and her mother and daughter wanted to move in, they had to prepare some things.
Since this place is going to be turned into a small garment workshop in the future, it would be most convenient to move here to facilitate work.
The family discussed these things before renting the house, and no one had any objections.
In the afternoon, when Meng Shulan was carrying her schoolbag home from school, He Jinqiu and Meng Changli were waiting for her at the school gate.
Upon hearing that the house had been rented, Meng Shulan went over to take a look. Feeling relieved, the family drove the donkey cart back.
When we returned to the village, it was almost dark. It was a bit late, but there were still many people standing at the intersections on both sides of the dam.
Everyone was obviously talking about the issue of liberalizing private businesses. When they saw the mother and daughter from the Meng family returning, their eyes lit up and they greeted them warmly.
Someone asked them if the house was ready and when they would move in.
Some people also asked if they need to pay management fees when setting up stalls to sell vegetables in the town? If so, how much is it?
Some people even came up to them and asked if they wanted to hire anyone, saying that now that private business was allowed, they could hire help.
No one has any special ideas, any money earned is good.
People need to be invited, but Meng Changli has not yet thought about the relevant arrangements. She did not refuse outright, but just said to wait and see.
When the man heard that there was a chance, he happily told Meng Changli to come to him if she needed anything. He then put a few big radishes on the donkey cart. There were too many to eat and they were not precious, so she could take them back and try.
In the past, although the villagers envied the Meng family for making money, they always felt uncomfortable and jealous.
Because the policy has not been implemented, some people always feel that they should not earn this money.
Now that the higher-ups have let go, the wind direction has changed immediately, and the Meng family has become the object of everyone's flattery.
There is no way. The opportunity has come, but everyone is confused. If we want to figure something out, we can only seek help from experienced people.
Meng Changli is a generous person and she tells everyone whatever they ask.
Of course, she also considers people. Forget about those who have been sarcastic to their family. Even if they ask her, she will pretend not to hear. Her time is precious, and she has to go back early to work on the sewing machine.
The second branch of the Meng family behind the bamboo forest.
Ding Guixiang slammed the table as soon as she got home.
"Isn't it just a business in town? She's making a big deal out of it. When I asked her where she got the things from the supply and marketing cooperative, she rolled her eyes at me."
In the past two days, the whole village has been discussing doing business, and Dinggui Township is no exception. Naturally, it also wants to do something and make some money.
The family expenses are high. My youngest son is not married yet and I need to save up for the bride price. My daughter is studying in the county and the monthly expenses are not a small amount. Money is everywhere.
The second house has been able to survive these years thanks to the private money that the old lady of the Meng family secretly saved in previous years.
But it’s not much, and it’s almost gone. If I don’t get some money, my daughter’s tuition will have to be paid for by borrowing money from outside.
Ding Guixiang also wanted to do some business to make some money, but she had no skills, so she thought of selling goods like a supply and marketing cooperative.
As long as there is a cheap source of goods and you can make a profit from the price difference, then you will make money.
Who would have thought that after she said this, Meng Shulan not only didn't tell her where to get the goods, but also rolled her eyes.
Ding Guixiang became angrier the more she thought about it.
They are all family and all have the surname Meng. She can tell others about it, so why does she look down on her own family members coming?
Meng Danhong lit the oil lamp and came over. Seeing her mother cursing, she couldn't help but say to her, "Mom, your question is ridiculous. The things in the supply and marketing cooperative are all allocated and supplied by the higher-ups. Not to mention my eldest sister, even if you ask the salesperson inside, I'm afraid they don't know where those things come from.
Your question is so stupid, isn't it normal for people to roll their eyes? "
Meng Danhong is not a straightforward person, she just likes to argue with Ding Guixiang.
When Ding Guixiang heard her daughter say the same thing, she became even more angry.
But she understood the reason, so she decided not to mention it after thinking about it. She asked her daughter instead, "It's only been two weeks. Why did you come back?"
Meng Danhong looked at the floor with a guilty look on her face. "Didn't I tell you last time that our teacher introduced a sprint class? I want to give it a try."
