When we returned to our home in the city, the three children were already asleep.
After the couple settled their three children, they lay down on the bed to rest for a while.
Zhou Chenglei hugged Jiang Xia and said, "Let's go to the photo studio and take some photos."
Jiang Xia also had this plan: "Okay, bring our parents and take a family photo."
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
He wanted to take a couple photo, she wanted to take a family photo! We took a family photo during the Chinese New Year reunion dinner! We have taken family photos of everyone and the small family! "Let's take the family photo later, let's take our wedding photos first."
Jiang Xia looked at him, not expecting him to have such an interest: "Do you want to take wedding photos?"
Zhou Chenglei had never heard of wedding photos, but it was not difficult to understand from the literal meaning. He hugged her tightly and nodded: "Yes! Wedding photos. There are too few photos of you and me."
Jiang Xia thought it would be nice to take wedding photos: "Okay."
Zhou Chenglei has already thought it through: "In the future, we will take time out every year to take a set of photos of just the two of us. Take photos in spring, summer, autumn and winter, at the beach, on a boat, in a courtyard, at school, in a park... take a set in every city, and later we can take photos abroad, taking a set in every country."
Following Zhou Chenglei's words, Jiang Xia thought of many scenes from wedding photos.
In fact, there are many photo albums at home, but they mainly record the children’s growth and the family’s life.
There are also many photos of Jiang Xia, all taken by Zhou Chenglei.
There are many photos of Zhou Chenglei accompanying his children, but there are very few photos of just the two of them, and even fewer photos of their daily life.
Because most of the time it was either him or she who was recording with the camera.
In the days when there was no online storage, photos in albums were the best way to record.
Jiang Xia nodded in his arms: "Okay, let's record how we grow old year by year. When we are old and can't walk anymore and can't go anywhere, we can sit in the yard and look through the photo albums to pass the time and not get bored."
Zhou Chenglei thought that when they get old, it would be nice for them to sit on a recliner, bask in the sun, and look through old photos.
The two of them stopped talking and just thought about how they would grow old in the future, and fell asleep before they knew it.
*Zhou Chenglei woke up after only sleeping for a dozen minutes, and then he got up carefully.
He is going to the seafood market to deal with the stall rental contract.
They didn't wake up Jiang Xia to go with them, and these days they took the kids out to play almost every day.
Last night she was busy making wedding dress for Ruan Tang and didn't want to go to bed until eleven o'clock. She had to get up early again today, so she must be tired.
Zhou Chenglei walked out of the living room and said to Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chengsen, "Let's go to the market to sign the contract later."
As soon as he woke up, he went to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Tian Caihua stood up: "Xiao Xia is not going?"
"No, she's asleep."
"Oh, let's go then!" Tian Caihua said expectantly.
All three of her stalls were rented out, but her eldest brother said he didn't want to do it anymore, so they were all rented out to others.
My second uncle said that one stall costs 100 yuan a month, and three stalls cost 300 yuan a month.
The rent from these three stalls is enough to support their whole family, which is really great.
Zhou Chenglei came out after washing up, and Jiang Xia also woke up.
"I'll go with you." She also wanted to see the current situation of the seafood market.
So they went to the seafood market together.
Around four o'clock in the evening, the seafood market began to get busy.
At first glance, all the stalls were open and there were no empty stalls.
Tian Caihua was surprised and asked, "All the stalls are open so soon?"
Second uncle: "They have been open for a long time! When I arrived here on the sixth day of the New Year, most of them were open. The only ones left were those like yours that have not been rented out."
Construction of the dock began on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the entire dock was fenced off on the fifth day. Fishermen and vendors were no longer allowed to set up stalls at will, and only the entrance and exit for fishing boats to unload cargo were left.
Fishmongers and fishermen have to rent stalls in the market if they want to continue setting up their stalls.
This has led to a rush to rent stalls in the market, even to the point where it is difficult to find a spot.
So in just two or three days, my second uncle and Jiang Dong helped rent out all the stalls of the three families.
The two of them helped to rent out the stall first, and the stall was given to the tenant first. The contract would be signed after they returned from Beijing.
My second uncle has been at the market every day since the sixth day of the Chinese New Year and is very familiar with the stall rental schedule.
The current rent has also increased significantly because everyone is scrambling to rent the stalls at the back.
Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia rented the first-row seat for 160 yuan a month.
Before the New Year, the rent for the front row stalls at the South Gate was only 100 yuan.
Now those stall owners regret renting out their stalls too early.
The shops that Jiangxia bought that could build attics and freezers were rented out years ago for between three hundred and three hundred and fifty per month, with different rents depending on the location.
Now the minimum rent for that shop is 500 yuan per room, and it is located in a remote area.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei bought several shops in good locations, and rented each one out for six hundred yuan a month.
The shop that I bought to Jiang Dong was also rented out for six hundred yuan a month.
There are also shops in better locations than theirs, with rents of up to 700 yuan.
Each of Tian Caihua's three stalls was rented for 100 yuan, and the stalls that Zhou Chengsen and Jiang Dong bought for the triplets were also rented for 100 yuan a month.
My second uncle said, "Some people in the middle said 80 yuan a month for the stalls, but I was too lazy to talk to them and just said 100 yuan, not a cent less! So many people are looking for stalls, we won't be in a hurry if we delay for a day or two, but they will be in a hurry if they don't open for a day or two! If they don't open for a day, they will lose dozens of yuan in every minute, and if they don't open for three or a few days, they will lose all the rent! That person came to ask in the morning, and he left the next time, and someone else came to ask! Just rent it! I want to wait until the end, there will definitely be someone to rent it for 120 yuan."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Second uncle is still the most courageous one!"
Tian Caihua: "Then you should put it aside for later!"
Jiang Xia: "It may take several months to put a 120 yuan house on the market until it becomes more prosperous. The sooner it is rented out, the sooner the rent can be collected. That's enough."
The second uncle was too lazy to pay attention to Tian Caihua. He said to Jiang Xia, "When you signed the contract, you only signed for one year. I estimate that the rent will double next year. Some stall owners and tenants signed for three or five years, and now they regret it! They come to me every day to say that they regret it so much. The rent after the rent increase in three years will not be as high as yours now."
Everyone knows that my second uncle has dozens of stalls for rent. The rent of each stall is much higher than others because they were rented out late, so many stall owners like to come and talk to my second uncle.
First, I think my second uncle is smart. Second, I think my second uncle is very powerful. He owns dozens of stalls and several shops. He is definitely a big landlord!
"Okay, I'll listen to my second uncle!" Jiang Xia also had this plan. In three to five years, it would be the 1990s.
The economic development of their city is unimaginably fast, getting faster every year, so there is no need to sign a contract for such a long time.
Zhou Chenglei and his brothers went to sign contracts with tenants, while the three sisters-in-law of Jiangxia talked to their second uncle.
Jiang Xia asked his second and first uncles: "Uncle, second uncle, how do you feel? Is business good?"
The second uncle said excitedly, "Great! Very good! Especially in the morning and evening, your cousin and I are too busy to handle it!"
The fish sold by my second uncle was provided by Zhou Chenglei’s fishing boat.
Anyway, everyone makes their own money and doesn't affect each other.
My second uncle would also sell goods from other fishing boats.
Tian Caihua asked, "How much money can you make in a day?" (End of this chapter)
