Chapter 345 Ways to Make Money
Jiang Xia: "Don't be anxious, sister-in-law. Listen to me. Didn't my brother say that you don't need to borrow money to buy it? I can help you apply for installment payment with the shipyard, so that you can order a boat without borrowing money."
Li Xiuxian didn't quite understand: "How about the installment payment method?"
Jiang Xia: "The two ships we ordered later were paid in installments. After all, the deposit for more than one million yuan is more than 600,000 yuan. We can't make so much money so quickly, so we agreed with the shipyard to pay the deposit in one or two years, and then wait until the balance is paid before receiving the ship. Alei and I were lucky to participate in the Guangzhou Trade Fair and earned enough for the deposit in one go, otherwise we don't know when we can pay it in full. We still owe the shipyard a balance of 650,000 yuan, and we plan to pay it in installments."
Li Xiuxian understood: "What if you don't have enough money saved by the deadline for delivery of the ship?"
Jiang Xia: "The shipyard doesn't worry about not being able to sell the ship. They will help us resell it. If the resale is successful, the deposit can be refunded. If the resale fails, we will wait until we have saved enough money to buy the ship. But resale is generally successful. The price of ships increases every year. If the news is released that someone cancels the order, many people will rush to buy it. Just like the big ship my family has now, some people also canceled the order, but there were still people rushing to buy it from us."
Li Xiuxian understood and asked, "Can I really pay the deposit in installments?"
Jiang Xia: "No one else can do that. But I'm familiar with the factory manager and can help you get it. So you should discuss it with the second brother!"
Li Xiuxian was relieved and said with a smile: "Then I will discuss it with your second brother."
There is one good thing about Zhou Chengsen, which is that he never regrets what he says.
This boat is bought!
In fact, if possible, she doesn't want to borrow money! To borrow money, you have to bow your head!
It feels like I owe Jiang Xia! Who wants to owe someone a favor? You can just pay the deposit in installments.
Jiang Xia asked again: "Second sister-in-law, is there a small shop near your school?"
"No, what's the matter?"
"Sister-in-law, if you want to make more money, you can rent a shop inside the school or near the school gate and open a small shop to sell snacks and notebooks. My brother also opened a shop near the school in Beijing City, and the business is pretty good."
Li Xiuxian: "How can primary school students compare with college students? How can primary school students have money to buy things? The snacks they buy are only one or two cents, how much money can they make? I still prefer to buy a boat. I will go back to the room to discuss with your second brother first, so as not to disturb your rest!"
How can running a small shop make more money than fishing? If she used the money to open a small shop, how could she buy a boat? Jiang Xia didn't say anything after hearing this.
Although opening a small shop near a school may not make you rich, the income is still considerable and at least stable.
As people's living standards improve, they will be willing to give their children pocket money, so business will only get better and better.
But Li Xiuxian doesn't like it, so forget it.
If there was no one free at home, she would like to open it herself.
As soon as Li Xiuxian left, Zhou Chenglei returned to the room.
Seeing Jiang Xia in a daze, he picked up the towel and squatted down to wipe her feet: "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and reached out to grab the towel: "I can do it myself."
"It's the same for everyone." Zhou Chenglei avoided her hand, held her ankle and wrapped it with a towel, and wiped her dry carefully. "If you are happy, lend it. If you are not happy, don't lend it. It doesn't matter. Second brother doesn't want to buy a boat. He didn't like going out to sea to fish since he was a child. He liked reading."
Jiang Xia: "No, my second brother said he couldn't lend it to me, so I won't lend it to him. If my second sister-in-law wants to order a boat, she can pay in installments at the shipyard. I'll let the couple discuss it."
Zhou Chenglei: "That's fine, don't worry about my second sister-in-law."
After drying one foot, Jiang Xia tucked it onto the bed, sitting cross-legged, watching Zhou Chenglei wipe her other foot. "I thought of a way to make money and suggested that my second sister-in-law do it. I thought it was a pity that she didn't want to do it."
"What is it?"
Jiang Xia then told him about opening a canteen at school, "Unfortunately, no one in my family has the time to do it."
Zhou Chenglei: "Why don't you just ask your great grandfather if he wants to go and open it?"
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up, yes!
Why didn’t you think of your great-grandfather?
After my great-grandfather finished building their new house, he had no work to do and had to go to the city to work again.
It is better to run a small shop and live a stable life than to work hard in the city and only earn two dollars a day.
If you open a small shop, you can definitely make more than two dollars a day.
"Ask great grandfather tomorrow."
"Yeah." Zhou Chenglei lifted her feet and signaled her to move back.
Jiang Xia retracted his feet back into the bed, then took off his outer home clothes, handed them to Zhou Chenglei, and got into bed.
The quilt was also warm. Zhou Chenglei went to the village store and bought two new hot water bottles, filled them with boiling water, and stuffed them into the quilt.
Zhou Chenglei folded Jiang Xia's coat neatly and put it aside. He then scooped out the water in the wooden basin and poured it out. Then he went back to the room to get clothes and take a shower. When he came back from the shower, Jiang Xia was already asleep.
In the warm bed, Jiang Xia’s fair and tender face was rosy as she slept.
Zhou Chenglei took a translated text and the original book and sat back on the bed, covered with a quilt, checking for any mistakes, without getting close to Jiang Xia.
After checking all the translations and revising a few places, his body had warmed up. He put the book away, took the two hot water bottles from the bed, turned off the lights, got into bed, and waited for a while until his body was completely warm before he carefully hugged Jiang Xia in his arms.
The moment Jiang Xia was held in his arms, she automatically and consciously moved closer to him, treating him as a warm pillow.

It’s really warm to have him around in winter.
In the dark, Zhou Chenglei kissed the top of her head, rested his chin on it, hugged her, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
***The next morning, the Zhou family got up early.
With so many people, it is inevitable that there will be some noise.
Jiang Xia was woken up.
Zhou Chenglei has already gotten up and gone for a run.
As long as he doesn't go out to sea, he will exercise for at least an hour every day.
Jiang Xia sat up, lifted the quilt, and saw her clothes where he slept.
The weather has been cold these two days, so every morning he would find clothes for her and put them in his bed, so that when she got up and changed clothes, the clothes would be warm.
Jiang Xia put on a red sweater that carried his body temperature and scent, got out of bed, and went to the closet to find a short white down jacket...
After she had dressed neatly and combed her hair, she went out.
As soon as Jiang Xia left, Zhou's father asked, "Xiao Xia, how do I look in this outfit?" Zhou's mother brought in a pot of porridge and said with a smile, "Hurry up and pick out a set for your dad. He got up at five o'clock and has been changing clothes since then!"
Father Zhou got up early in the morning and changed seven or eight sets of clothes, but he couldn't decide which one to wear.
These seven or eight sets of clothes are all new clothes bought for him by Jiang Xia.
The coats include down jackets, suits, tweed coats, cotton coats, windbreakers, Mao suits, and a leather jacket.
The materials of these clothes are so good that Zhou's father usually doesn't want to wear them, but today he can't wait to put on every one of them.
If he wasn't afraid of what others might say, he would have taken all his clothes with him and changed them every half an hour.
Now he was wearing the cashmere sweater and down jacket that Jiang Xia bought for him in Suicheng, and he looked very energetic.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Looks handsome and energetic! I bought one down jacket for each of us, so today the whole family can wear down jackets. Dad, you can wear a suit under the down jacket. When we go on stage, if everyone is wearing suits, you can just take off the down jacket."
Father Zhou's eyes lit up: "Yes! That's it! I'll go change into a suit now!"
In this way, both the suit and the down jacket are put on! The suit is not cheap, and the down jacket is not cheap either.
The whole family wore down jackets at the 10,000-yuan household commendation meeting. Thinking about that scene, Zhou's father felt that he was not wearing clothes, but a motorcycle on his body! Thank you for voting and rewarding friends~
