"Yes, I can make money now, but living outside, the expenses are still higher than at home!" Tian Tian said.
"That's better than me. You see how tired I am from planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. I don't have much money left at the end of the year. I usually don't spend money on buying things. This year my old lady has new leg pain. I plan to take her to the hospital for a check-up, which will cost a lot of money. You just give away the money without even giving me any." Wu Juan sighed and said.
She and her old woman are both capable, but the work points they earn are not enough for three people to eat, and now there are two little ones, so it is not enough at all.
It is also because of the subsidies from their sisters that they can barely get enough to eat.
But her husband was a spendthrift person, and whenever he had nothing to do, he would go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some small things that didn't require tickets.
The old woman also spoiled her son. Whenever her son asked for money, she would give him the money without asking why.
Tian Tian didn't know the situation at Wu Juan's home. She and Wu Juan actually had very little contact and they only saw each other during the Chinese New Year. There were some things that Wu Juan didn't tell her, so she didn't know. Originally, looking at Wu Juan's rosy face, she thought she was living a good life.
Now after listening to Wu Juan's words, she realized that her family also had difficulties. Tian Tian sighed but said nothing. Now that he had found a job, he would not have to worry about his life in the future. Teacher, there was no layoff in this job, so he would definitely be able to work until retirement. She also invested a small share in Li Jiuniang, so financially speaking, her life would be basically stable for the rest of her life. If she said anything to persuade Wu Juan, it would always give people a sense of being easy to say.
Fortunately, Wu Juan was just venting her anger. She couldn't tell these words to anyone else. Lin Meishuang was already under a lot of pressure, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her. She couldn't say anything to the old lady either, so she could only keep it in her heart. Now that she told Tian Tian, she felt a little more open-minded.
"You don't have to worry. Look, there are so many people doing small businesses in the county now. The country also encourages everyone to do small businesses. When you find a business to do in the future, you can make a lot of money!" Tian Tian said.
Nowadays, the bold ones will die of overeating, while the timid ones will die of starvation. If you have the courage to go out and try your luck, I can’t say how much money you can earn, but you will definitely make some money back.
If you keep working on this piece of land, that's basically how your life will be.
After saying this, Tian Tian felt that she was always advising others on how to do business. She had advised Shen Lingling before, then she had advised Lin Meishuang, and now she was also advising Wu Juan.
However, if Lin Meishuang really plans to start a formal business in the future and can make money, she will definitely help Wu Juan, so she doesn't need to say anything more.
Tian Tian was thinking a lot, while Wu Juan sighed, "Doing business is not that simple. Not only do you have to go out early and come back late, but the money you earn is also unstable. How can you be a worker in a factory? Not only do you get a salary every month, but you also get various food coupons, benefits at the end of the year, and the factory even gives you housing. This is a serious job."
Tian Tian had no intention of saying anything more in the first place, and now after hearing what Wu Juan said, she had even less intention of speaking.
People nowadays do look down on self-employed individuals, but they earn a lot, and earning a few dozen dollars a day is no problem.
The factory looks good now, but when there is a wave of layoffs and so many workers are laid off, we will know which one is good and which one is bad.
Tian Tian changed the subject and started talking about other things. Wu Juan found it quite interesting and started discussing it with Tian Tian with great interest.
In the afternoon, Lin Meiyu and her family went to the kitchen to cook. Everyone had lunch at Grandma Lin's house, and those who should go home went home.
Tian Tian and her friends cleaned up the house and prepared to go to bed at night.
Grandma Lin's house is not big, with only the east and west rooms and no other place for people to live. Too many people came to Tian Tian's house and the house was a little small. In the end, Tian Tian and Lin Meiyu went to live in Lin Meishuang's house together, and the four men squeezed in the west room for the night.
I don’t know whether Lin Meishuang discussed it with other family members. Anyway, when Tiantian and the others returned home the next day, Lin Meishuang still didn’t say anything to Tian Tian.
No one had time to pay attention to what Lin Meishuang was thinking, because the Tian family was busy preparing for the arrival of Gu Zhao's parents.
After this New Year, the meat in the house was almost gone. Lin Meiyu thought that she couldn't just treat her in-laws to a visit and let them eat cabbage and potatoes. It would be embarrassing if people talked about it, and she couldn't do such a thing. So she thought of killing a chicken at home, and asking Tian Lisong to go out and catch a fish, and bring back some pork.
By putting this and that together, you can make a lot of delicious dishes.
Of course, Tian Lisong also felt that he should entertain his in-laws well and had no objection to this. After going out for a day, he brought back a five-jin pork and two fish as long as his forearms.
The next day after I got the things back, Gu Zhao's parents came.
Early in the morning, Tian Tian accompanied Gu Zhao to the train station to pick someone up. Today, she even went to the brigade to borrow a ox cart and asked Gu Zhao to drive the ox cart to take her to the county town.
The two of them went to the county town early in the morning. Gu Zhao's parents took the train in the afternoon, so they went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. It was just after the Chinese New Year and everyone had just visited relatives, so there was really nothing in the supply and marketing cooperative. Tian Tian saw the sandwich biscuits with icing in the middle in the biscuit counter, so she bought a pound of them. She also found that the candy section sold chocolate with wine filling, so she weighed a pound of chocolate with wine filling, and a pound of crispy candies, and finally bought two cans of yellow peaches. Then she happily went out with Gu Zhao.
They also saw someone selling wontons on the street. There was a big pot next to the street. Water was boiling in the pot and steam was coming out of it. It looked very warm.
The vendor looked young, but he was dressed very neatly. There were two tables and chairs next to him, and two people were eating at one of the tables.
Tian Tian looked at the wontons and felt a little greedy. She had been here for more than ten years and had eaten dumplings the most. She could only eat wontons occasionally in state-owned restaurants.
Because most wontons are filled with pure meat, people are reluctant to use the meat, which they rarely eat, to make wontons.
"Let's go have a bowl of wontons. We came here on a ox cart this morning and are frozen all over. A bowl of wontons is just right, warm and delicious!" Gu Zhao saw that Tian Tian wanted to eat wontons, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Okay!" Tian Tian pulled Gu Zhao over.
"How do you sell these wontons?"
"Comrade, if you have food coupons and meat coupons, it's 1.5 cents a bowl. If you don't have coupons, it's 20 cents a bowl. We make these wontons freshly in the morning, and they taste very fresh!" said the guy selling wontons with a smile.
"Give us two bowls!" Gu Shuang said. With a ticket, it cost 1.5 cents, which was about the same as the price in a state-owned restaurant. Without a ticket, you could spend 20 cents and have a bowl of hot wontons.
There are many people without tickets in their city, but relatively few people without money.
Most people can’t spend the money they earn every month because without tickets, they can’t buy things with money. Before, they even needed tickets to buy thread, match heads, or a needle.
Now you don’t need a ticket, you only need to spend 20 cents to eat a bowl of wontons, and everyone is still willing to come.
