Despite his age, he has a good appetite.

Liu Xiaolan was glad that the man was not from her family, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to support him.

The old man chewed a bun and said vaguely, "I want to order 200 of them and take them to the troops to eat."

Liu Xiaolan: “…” 400 buns at once, is that too much of a task?

She really can't handle it all by herself.

After breakfast, the sun came out.

Shen Jiaojiao was going to take the little one for a stroll nearby.

Liu Xiaolan also followed.

The sound of erhu could be heard early in the morning in the alley. Some rich men would sit under the willow trees, playing chess and erhu, and their lives were quite comfortable.

Occasionally, small vendors carrying baskets on their shoulders would pass by on the road, hawking their wares as they walked.

Liu Xiaolan was very surprised and asked Shen Jiaojiao in a low voice, "Can you do business openly now?"

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Well... it's almost okay. No one cares about it now."

After all, by the end of this year, the economy will be completely liberalized.

Liu Xiaolan started to think in her mind, if others can do it, then she can do it too!

You can make buns at home and sell them, or you can get a cart and sell them outside.

There are a lot of big factories and schools here, the workers and students inside must have breakfast or something!

They not only sell steamed buns, but also boxed lunches. Liu Xiaolan found that there are many construction sites here, such as demolition sites, and there are many workers on the construction sites. Boxed lunches are cheap and convenient, and I believe they will be liked by many people.

Liu Xiaolan told Shen Jiaojiao her idea, and Shen Jiaojiao raised her hands in agreement.

"That's right, mom. It's too tiring for you to be alone. After all, you have to sell buns and make lunch boxes. Your body must not be able to handle it!"

"It's okay. I've thought about it. Let Huahua work with me. Huahua is strong and smart. If the eldest daughter didn't have four children to support her, she would have gone out to make money like the second daughter.

Now the second family's life is getting better and better, and the gap with the eldest family has widened a lot. If the eldest family is still standing still, the gap will be so big that there will inevitably be some conflicts.

What I was thinking was, in the future, let your father stay at home to look after and pick up the children, and Huahua will be free to work with me. After all, our family owes Huahua a lot. It is rare for a virgin girl to marry a divorced man with four children.

I also know that Huahua and her family want to have their own children, but they dare not do so because their family is not well-off enough.

No matter what! I hope Huahua can have a child of her own. That way, I will feel better. "

Liu Xiaolan spoke out all her worries and instantly felt a lot more relieved.

Although she seldom asks about family affairs now, she knows everything in her mind.

There is no mother who does not want the best for her children. As long as she is still busy, she should create more value for her daughter and reduce the burden on her children.

Shen Jiaojiao patted Liu Xiaolan's shoulder and comforted her, "Sister-in-law and brother will have children. When brother finishes his studies and goes out to work, his situation will be even more different. I will help him find some connections and see if he can be assigned to work in the inner cabinet.

Not only is the salary there high, but they also give you housing. My eldest brother is in the inner chambers, and he will soon be given a three-bedroom, two-living-room house. So, my eldest brother will definitely have a bright future."

Liu Xiaolan felt warm in her heart. She touched Shen Jiaojiao's hair and said nothing more.

She wanted to say some words of gratitude to Shen Jiaojiao, but there were too many of them and they would become worthless, so she gave up.

The two of them walked outside for a while and then prepared to go back.

On the way back, I met some people who were out having fun.

"Jiaojiao, come back. That person next to you must be your mother-in-law! She looks so kind."

"Yes, Aunt Wang, this is my mother-in-law. She just came over. Please come to our house when you have time."

"Okay, okay, I'll come when I have time."

Several people strayed and walked in the opposite direction.

After walking a distance, Shen Jiaojiao found that one of the boy's shoes had fallen off.

The little guy is very naughty now. When I carry him and walk with him, his legs keep kicking and his shoes fall off easily.

"It should have fallen where we sat down to rest just now. Jiaojiao, wait here for me. I'll go look for it."

Liu Xiaolan said this and turned back to look for it.

After walking for a few minutes, I saw a shoe dropped on the stool over there.

Just pick it up and get ready to go.

"Did you see that the person dressed in a rustic way just now is Grandma Shen Jiaojiao. I really can't understand it. The whole family is from the countryside. Why would Jiaojiao like a family like that? By comparison, my son is not bad either! Why doesn't she like my son?

Shen Jiaojiao is such a good girl! She is really dragged down by a bunch of country folks.

You didn’t see, they moved in yesterday, with a lot of worthless stuff, it felt like they moved their entire household belongings here.

I think they just want to stay in Shen Jiaojiao's house for the rest of their lives.

Shen Jiaojiao is really pitiful. Not only does her in-laws provide her with no help, but she also has to support a large family. If anyone were to look at this, who would not say that she is a silly girl?

I think Shen Jiaojiao's in-laws are a bunch of blood-sucking worms, and they will harm Shen Jiaojiao's whole family sooner or later."

The person who was speaking was beaming with joy and spitting everywhere. It was Aunt Wang who had just greeted Shen Jiaojiao.

Another auntie who was chatting with Auntie Wang said awkwardly, "No way! I went to Jiaojiao's house yesterday, her mother-in-law is pretty nice, and Xu Mo is also capable, he even got the first place in the country in the college entrance examination, even Mr. Shen likes him very much, I think Jiaojiao's mother-in-law's family is nice, you can't judge people with prejudice, there are good people in the countryside too."

Aunt Wang pursed her lips, "Anyway, I don't think this family will be successful. Just wait and see! When Shen Jiaojiao starts crying, how much blood will be sucked out of such a big family? Even if there are mountains of gold and silver in the house, it won't be enough for those people to eat."

Another auntie quickly stopped them, "Okay, stop talking, let's go! We still have to buy groceries."

The two gradually walked away.

Liu Xiaolan stood there in a daze for a while, and finally cursed her, "Gossip."

Then she turned around and saw Shen Jiaojiao standing opposite her.

"Haha, Jiaojiao, why are you back? Didn't I tell you to wait for me here?"

Liu Xiaolan wanted to ease the atmosphere so she spoke in a relaxed tone.

Shen Jiaojiao looked unhappy, "Mom, why didn't you refute it just now? Why didn't you scold back? That person's words were really too much."

Liu Xiaolan went over to put on the little guy's shoes, took Shen Jiaojiao's hand and walked back.

"Why are you scolding me? I'm old, I can't scold you anymore. Now I just want to work hard and make achievements, then I can shut them up with facts.

Don't worry, Jiaojiao. Your mother is very thick-skinned and won't get upset over a few words."

Shen Jiaojiao sighed, "You all didn't ask me to support you, you are all very capable."

Liu Xiaolan ruffled Shen Jiaojiao's hair and said, "Okay, don't let irrelevant people ruin your good mood. Let's go back! Didn't you say you would take us out to climb the Great Wall in the afternoon? We have to go back and prepare."

In the afternoon, the two families went out for a walk in the city together and took Liu Xiaolan and her friends to climb the Great Wall.

The Xu family was extremely excited when they saw the Great Wall for the first time and vowed to walk from the starting point to the end point.

In the end, I didn't reach the end, but my legs became disabled.

In the next few days, everyone's legs were so sore that they could hardly walk properly.

After resting at home for three days, Liu Xiaolan officially started making buns and selling lunch boxes.

To do all these, you need a lot of flour and rice. Now you still need tickets to buy things. If you want to buy enough food to do business, there are definitely not enough tickets.

So, Shen Jiaojiao took Liu Xiaolan and Sun Huahua to the black market.

Take them to familiarize themselves with the environment first, and then they will be able to come and buy things by themselves.

After Shen Jiaojiao took the others out, Xu Mo was not idle either, and took Xu Zhengyang and Xu Fugui out to look for opportunities.

The male protagonist is worthy of being the male protagonist. Wherever he goes, pie falls.

Look, Xu Mo found the land he wanted to buy.

Xu Mo did not forget what Shen Jiaojiao told him, that if she wanted to do skin care products business, then she must have a place to do business, including production room, technical research and development room, packaging design room... and a series of other jobs all need a place to operate.

So Xu Mo thought of buying a piece of land to build a factory, so that all office production can be carried out here in the future.

Nowadays, apart from the prosperous area in the city center, the rest of Beijing is still quite remote.

Some places are still farmlands and villages.

The land Xu Mo bought was the land left behind by a family’s ancestral home. It was originally a residential site, but the house collapsed because it was not big enough.

The land covers a total area of ​​more than 200 acres, which is a very large area.

Because the location of the land seems to be quite remote, the price does not have much advantage. Xu Mo used 10,000 yuan to buy 200 acres of land in the future second ring road of Beijing.
