Chapter 30 Down Jacket
Wang Yueju's uneasy heart finally settled after hearing Gu Jianguo's words. Her husband was always cautious and calculated in his actions, and she had complete faith in him.
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui worked on their work, listening to their parents' conversation with their ears tilted. When they heard their father talking about the south, doing business, and visiting the south, their eyes sparkled with anticipation.
While having dinner, Gu Siqing learned that Gu Jianguo had agreed to go to the south. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Gu Jianguo with a burning gaze and said, "Dad, what goods do you think will sell well in the south?"
Gu Jianguo looked at his daughter with a smile, "What do you mean by easy to sell?"
Gu Siqing had thought about this question last night, so she said directly: "Down jacket."
Although down jackets are a bit expensive, for today's consumers, they are fashionable and practical, not flashy, so they should be a relatively safe business.
Gu Siqing didn't believe that anyone could make money in the 1980s simply by being bold. In business, one always had to consider whether the product was suitable for the market. Blindly purchasing goods would result in losses, even in the 1980s.
Do you think that no one buys down jackets because they are expensive?
You're wrong. No matter what era it is, there are always groups whose consumption exceeds that of ordinary people. Luxury goods exist in every era.
The reason why Gu Siqing thought of down jackets was that in her previous life, a friend of hers ran a down jacket processing factory, and it was the first one in Shenzhen to do down jacket processing. It seemed that it started from that time.
However, Gu Jianguo and the others had never heard of down jackets, so Gu Siqing inevitably used newspaper as a shield and explained what a down jacket was. Finally, she said, "I think this thing is fashionable and warm, so there will definitely be people who buy it."
After hearing what she said, Gu Jianguo raised his hand and touched her head, "My Xiaosi is so smart." This child's performance in recent times is not just about being smart, it should be said that he is not just ordinary smart.
Although he thought so, Gu Jianguo did not think that his daughter was reborn. Such a shocking thing was simply not something most people had the concept of.
But even though he thought his little Si was extremely smart, he wouldn't listen to her and go to the man's house to take the down jacket to sell. Not to mention that Xiao Si was a child, even if an adult said this to him, he would have to carefully consider the situation before making a decision.
Gu Siqing also knew this, so she didn't try to persuade him. As long as Dad decided to start a business, it didn't matter what the first business was, or even if he was there to accompany him. As long as he got started, it was fine.
The fundamental change in human nature is actually a change in thinking.
For example, if you've always been a farmer, your main concern is how to grow crops well and sell them at a good price. But one day, you no longer want to farm and want to start a business. Your mindset should no longer be based on farming. You should be thinking about what products are easy to sell and how to sell them.
But it is impossible to expect a farmer who has worked for many years to have the mindset of a businessman all of a sudden, so Gu Siqing knew that this matter could not be rushed and had to be taken slowly.
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui listened to their conversation and ate with smiles on their faces. They felt that their family had become more lively.
After dinner, Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui were washing dishes in the kitchen together. Gu Erhui whispered to Gu Yimin, "Do you think it's really possible for Dad to go to the man's house to buy goods and sell them?"
Gu Yimin washed the dishes with a gentle smile on her face, "We'll know if it works if we try it."
"Yes, you'll know after trying it." Gu Erhui grinned, picked up the dishes washed by Gu Yimin, wiped them with a rag, and put them in the cabinet.
Gu Sanjing finished her homework for a while and looked at Gu Siqing. "Xiao Si, what do you think of the South? Is there a lot of delicious food?"
Gu Siqing turned her head to look at Gu Sanjing. There was a reason why she had always been plump in her previous life. She was a foodie!
"Of course there are delicious foods, but it would be so ugly if you became fat." Gu Siqing said.
Gu Sanjing only heard the first half of the sentence and automatically filtered out the second half. She grinned and said, "Dad is going to the south, he will definitely bring back some delicious food."
Gu Siqing: ""
Well, it's impossible to discuss body shape with children.
To plant wheat, you first have to plow the land, and then plant the wheat. To plow the land, one person pulls the plow in front, and another holds the plow in the back. The plow blades under the plow must be at least 20 centimeters into the ground. You can imagine how hard this work is.
The same is true for sowing wheat, one person pulls the plow cart and another supports it from behind.
After finishing all these chores, even the strong Gu Jianguo spent the entire morning in bed, and Wang Yueju was also exhausted. Seeing their parents so exhausted, the four sisters took on all the housework. Gu Jianguo and his wife were served by their four children when they washed their feet.
Seeing the four children busy around her, Wang Yueju felt that no matter how tired she was, it was worth it. Gu Jianguo even felt a little proud. For the sake of these four wonderful children, he also wanted to work hard.
The family was warm and lively, but across the street Zhang Chuntao and Zhang Jiancheng started arguing again. They overheard that Zhang Chuntao wanted Gu Jiancheng to go to her parents' home to help with housework, but Gu Jiancheng was unwilling to do so.
Although the second branch of the family was the closest to them, over the years, due to Wu Dani's favoritism and Zhang Chuntao's occasional provocations, the relationship between the two families was worse than that of ordinary neighbors. So as long as there was no fighting and Wu Dani was not hurt, Gu Jianguo would not care.
So no matter how fiercely the second branch quarreled, it did not affect them.
Zhang Chuntao was arguing with Gu Jiancheng, and her eyes kept glancing towards the main room. Seeing that no one from the main room came out to see what was happening, she became even more furious.
Why did she ask Gu Jiancheng to go to her mother's house to help with the work? It was because her elder brother Zhang Shugen had several broken ribs and was still lying in bed unable to move.
As for who beat her, the Zhang family did not hide it from her, so she hated the people in the first house even more. Of course, people like her would not think about why Gu Jianguo and others beat the Zhang family. Anyway, as long as there is a conflict, it must be someone else's fault.
She wanted to rush to the main house and ask them to pay for the medical expenses and do all the work for the Zhang family. But Zhang Shuangping and Ge Fenglian told her that this matter must not be known to anyone, not even the Deng family.
Who would marry a daughter-in-law with a vicious heart?
Of course, they also didn't think that instigating Zhao Erhai to rape Gu Yimin was a vicious act.
"The Zhang family has a son and a daughter. Why should I work so hard for them? The fact that Zhang Shuangping can work for the Deng family shows that they can do the Zhang family's work themselves."
Gu Jianben was never a very hardworking person. These days, he was exhausted from plowing the fields and planting crops. He finally finished his work and could rest. Now the Zhang family asked him to work like a slave again. Did they think he was a fool?
