Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Making money is urgent! ...
Liu Suqin's friends did not join in today's car picking-up operation, but their presence was not lacking. They mentioned a few people while waiting for the waiters to serve the dishes in the private room of the high-end restaurant.
It all started when Li Xiaoqing got out of the car and looked at Liu Suqin with eyes so enthusiastic they practically glowed, as if she had become a devoted fangirl. Lin Quansheng half-jokingly and half-seriously suggested, "Since you admire Suqin so much, why don't you sign up for makeup lessons and become a makeup artist like her?"
Li Xiaoqing didn't respond at the time, so Qian Juxiang, who was sitting across from them, interrupted, "What's wrong, Quansheng? You're not unable to support the family, so why are you still pushing your partner to find a job?"
"No, I didn't," Lin Quansheng said, trying to defend himself. "As a man, I have to support my family. It was Xiaoqing's own idea to go to work. She even insisted on finding a job at the factory. I'm really envious of Liu Ping and the others who make 700 or 800 yuan a month! I think their high salaries are all due to hours of overtime every day. It's so hard. It's better for him to learn makeup from Suqin. The work is easy, the income is not bad, and there are acquaintances in the industry like Suqin and Li Hong. We can look after each other. Isn't that great?"
Li Xiaoqing, fearing that everyone might misunderstand her partner, nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Brother Quansheng is a very good person. He promised in front of my parents that he would give me his monthly salary on time. I don't have to worry about money. It doesn't matter if I spend it all, he still gets regular dividends. But I'm young and have my hands and feet. I don't have the elderly and children to take care of. I can't just sit at home and do nothing. Shenzhen is in need of everything except factories. Wouldn't that make it easy for me to find a job?"
The way she was anxious to protect her lover made everyone else laugh. Lin Nanjiang even stretched out his voice mischievously, "Yes, yes, Brother Quansheng is a very good man, hahahaha."
He looked so awful that he deserved a beating. Liu Suqin couldn't help but slap him, then suppressed her smile and tried to get the conversation back on track. "You all have good ideas. Brother Quansheng feels bad that you're working so hard in the factory. Learning a craft will not only make your life easier, but the income is indeed higher than working in the factory. You don't have to learn makeup from me. Of course, it's best if you learn it too. There are plenty of job opportunities, and I can more or less take care of you."
Li Xiaoqing had just been teased by everyone and her face only blushed. However, Liu Suqin's serious words made her blush all over. She covered her face with her hands and said "ah", showing her shy side rarely, which made everyone look at her more curiously.
Perhaps because it was Liu Suqin, whom she currently admired the most, who said this, Li Xiaoqing covered her face and still hesitantly expressed her concerns, "I, I'm considering the possibility of having children in the future... There are only two of us here, and I will definitely be at home to take care of the children. Even if I spend so much money to learn makeup, I won't be able to work for long after I learn it. I might not even be able to earn back the tuition. That would be such a waste of money. I'd better just find a factory."
Liu Suqin and the others didn't say anything. While the waiter was serving the dishes, they each picked up a spoon to taste the food.
Other things can be joked about, but having and raising children is a private matter between the couple, and it is not appropriate for them to interfere.
Lin Quansheng was stunned for a long time, as if he had not expected that his partner was concerned about these things.
Maybe they have different opinions on Li Xiaoqing's career plan after marriage, but they are indeed considering their small family. Li Xiaoqing also thinks a lot and thinks long-term, and wholeheartedly wants to take care of their small family and future children.
But since she was so unreserved, how could he bear to let her stay at home at such a young age?
Lin Quansheng made a decision and didn't mind saying it in front of everyone. "We don't need to start preparing for these unrealistic things so early. Let's just live our own lives first. Maybe there will be a better solution in the future."
Li Xiaoqing was bewildered. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you should choose a job that interests you, just like Suqin. You can always find a way to balance work and children. If it really can't be done, you can take a break from work and take care of the children yourself for two or three years until the children go to school. There's really no need to lock yourself up at home for the rest of your life just to take care of children and family."
It was the first time Li Xiaoqing heard such words. His face was confused and thoughtful. He fell into deep thought for a moment. Liu Ping couldn't help but blurt out, "Why?"
He truly didn't understand. He stared at his older sister and the others with strange looks, still stubbornly asking the question deep in his heart, "Brother Quansheng, you have a car and a house now, and your salary is so high. You can afford to have more children, so why do you insist on your sister-in-law working too?"
This was exactly what Li Xiaoqing wanted to ask. To avoid misunderstandings, Lin Quansheng patiently explained, using Liu Suqin's friends as examples. "As for making money, Li Liang became the supervisor of their company this year. His bonuses and commissions are at least doubled. His family has a car, a house, and savings, and they live a comfortable life. But his wife, Amin, is anxious to send their four-year-old son to daycare so she can go out to work. This shows that money has nothing to do with this, or at least it's not the main reason."
"Actually, I think Xiaoqing and Amin's situations are very similar. They both don't have jobs in the interior of the country, and their only good friends are Suqin and a few others. But they all have jobs and are busy with work. They're lucky to see each other once a month during the holidays. So, they're all alone at home on weekdays, with nothing to do except take care of the kids. How boring must they be every day? And when they get together, those with jobs will definitely talk about the funny things they encountered at work, scolding their colleagues and stupid clients, etc. Those who don't have jobs and no colleagues can't join in the conversation. How can they have fun together after a long time?"
Liu Ping looked incredulous, "Is it just for this?"
Lin Quansheng nodded affirmatively.
That's right, he was not concerned about his wife's salary, nor did he expect her to build a career. He just blindly trusted Liu Suqin, his sister-in-law and the boss's wife, and wanted her to integrate into their small circle faster and better.
Since Liu Suqin's friends all have jobs, his wife should also find a job. Following the boss's wife's footsteps will only benefit them.
He was very open-minded, but after hearing this simple and unpretentious reason, Liu Ping felt shocked. He didn't understand what was wrong with his brother-in-law and his brothers and friends. He was so good at making money, but his wife left the children at home and went out to work hard, and they didn't stop him. Instead, they were happy to see it happen.
Is this the characteristic of big cities?
I hope he can stick to his original intention and find a good wife who can take care of her husband and children.
Liu Ping warned himself in his heart.
Too bad no one cared about his thoughts.
Liu Suqin twitched her lips speechlessly, wondering whether Lin Quansheng was aware of the situation or not.
The person who understood him best among those present was none other than his good brother, Lin Nanjiang. So while everyone else was lost in thought, he gently nudged Liu Suqin's arm and said excitedly, "Wife, aren't the suggestions you gave your cousin earlier also suitable for Quansheng? If they have children in the future and want to balance work and family, then your job isn't the best fit. It's still a bit tiring. It's better to work in an office, which is more relaxed and stable."
Even if he didn't remind her, Liu Suqin was going to say this, but since he spoke first, she was happy to be the boss and nodded with a smile, "That makes sense. You should talk to them properly."
Lin Nanjiang looked at her with trust, "I can't do that. I'm afraid I'll miss some details. It's best if you can explain it in a comprehensive way, my wife."
"Okay." Liu Suqin had no choice but to do more work for the capable ones, so she had to do it herself and introduce the three training courses of accounting, computer and English, as well as their respective career directions to Lin Quansheng and Li Xiaoqing, who had already been piqued.
Because she had just said this to her cousin not long ago, Liu Suqin spoke more fluently and comprehensively. Lin Quansheng and Li Xiaoqing listened very carefully. After listening, they discussed and decided on the spot to sign up for the accounting class.
The reason is simple: the older an accountant gets, the more popular they become, and there's no mention of having to work overtime, making them very suitable for married women.
Li Xiaoqing was a little worried that accounting was too difficult and she was not smart enough to learn it, but Lin Quansheng said that she could take it slowly, and if one year didn't work, she could try two or three years.
Qian Juxiang also interrupted and said that they could have a baby during the training period. When the child went to nursery, she could use her accounting certificate to look for a job, so that they could do both at the same time.
Once again, Li Xiaoqing blushed.
Next, it was up to Li Xiaoqing to choose which training school and when to go to class. Liu Suqin started her daily routine of driving to and from get off work.
Yes, she was the main driver of the newly bought car, because the day after she took the car home, Lin Nanjiang’s noodle shop and night snack stall resumed full business.
This year, in order to wait for Lin Quansheng to come back, the work has been postponed for several days compared to previous years. Seeing the neighbors on the street opening their shops early and customers coming in, and thinking about the little money he had missed, Lin Nanjiang became anxious and couldn't wait to pull his good friend and partner to start work.
Of course, Lin Quansheng also cooperated actively.
His good brother bought a house and a car, and he has bigger goals in mind. He is following in his good brother's footsteps and strives to bring his wife to live in a big house like theirs with a refrigerator, air conditioner and TV as soon as possible.
Making money is urgent!
If he had gotten the new car a few days earlier, Lin Nanjiang would have been happy to take his family out for a ride and pick up his wife from get off work.
But now that business has resumed, he has to go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy goods, and in the evening he has to pull a large cart of equipment to set up a stall in the urban village. He is reluctant to ruin his beloved car, and still drives his three-wheeled motorcycle at lightning speed, going out in wind and rain every day.
So this car became Liu Suqin's means of commuting. When she occasionally went out to work at a wedding, she no longer needed Lin Nanjiang to get up early in the morning to pick her up. She would drive to the bride's house by herself and occasionally pick up her assistant on the way.
If it rains and it is inconvenient for the photographer to carry the equipment on a motorcycle, she will also be able to give him a ride.
After a few visits, Liu Suqin's relationship with her colleagues became more harmonious, and even the red envelopes given to her by the bride and groom were bigger than before. The amount of the extra red envelopes alone was enough to cover her gas expenses for most of half a month, which made her very happy.
While Liu Suqin was busy making money, she did not forget to meet the requirements of her friends. She made an appointment for a day and picked them up one by one, allowing them to enjoy the top-level service of beautiful women and luxury cars.
After the first month of the lunar year, Lin Nanjiang asked a friend to get the phone number of the photography academy in Guangzhou, and learned the exact enrollment time and requirements. He came back and discussed with Liu Suqin about making time to send his younger brother to school.
She had also mentioned before that she could send Liu Ping to Yangcheng to register and take a short family trip or something.
Lin Nanjiang always kept his wife's words in mind. Now he can drive back and forth by himself, which only takes one or two days and does not interfere with either party's work. He is even more excited.
