Not to mention the 1970s and 1980s, even in the 1920s, in the countryside, regardless of gender, you had to have one child.
If you have been married for several years and still feel pregnant, the old women in the village will suspect that you are infertile or that there is something wrong with your husband.
Rumors are inevitable, and some old-fashioned people even ask you to give birth to a son.
Generally speaking, the poorer people are, the more they like to have children. They say that having both a son and a daughter makes a perfect couple. But aren’t the ones who get hurt?
Men always talk without any hesitation, saying that children can make the marriage stable. Is it stable?
That ties women down. How many women stay with men and compromise for the sake of their children.
Therefore, no matter who has it, it is not as good as having it yourself.
Lu Sidi thought for a moment and hesitated: “Sister-in-law, I have never done business and I know nothing about it. Qingshan has been staying in the village since he retired from the army. I am afraid that he will be cheated out of everything.
It's a good thing that you are here, so please give us some ideas. Is there anything that is simple, easy to use and low cost? We can try it out first. If it works, we can consider other things.
In the initial stage, we should not aim too high, but take it one step at a time. We cannot eat a fat man in one go."
The two sisters-in-law also pricked up their ears to listen. Coming from big cities, they had a broader vision than them. They would just listen to what others said, in case it could be of use.
Jiang Yan explained everything in detail: "The cost is low. You can start by selling some fried rice near the factory, or make some braised food and sell it door to door. Are you afraid that no one will buy it?
As long as it tastes good and is appealing, there is nothing that cannot be sold. Since you don’t have classes on weekends anyway, just go out and give it a try. Don’t be afraid of losing money. In business, there are always gains and losses. There is no business that is guaranteed to make a profit.
Of course, when we do business, we aim to make a lot of money."
He Miao cracked melon seeds and said gently, "In the beginning, I sold steamed buns at the school gate, and my sister-in-law and her friends sold soy milk and fried dough sticks. Now, we are selling Bobo Chicken, and business is booming.
If I don't let go and do it, I never dare to imagine that I can earn so much. I haven't told you yet that they bought a house in the county town, and their next plan is to head to the provincial capital.
We want to make Bobo Chicken bigger and stronger, and make it a chain store like Xiaoyan said, so that everyone will be familiar with it and come to us whenever they want to eat it.
There are some rules to doing business. Don't think it's shameful to be unable to speak up. There's nothing shameful about making money. It's shameful not to make money. If you have enough money, you'll have friends and relatives wherever you go."
Lu Sidi was embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, haven't you taken the first step yet? I wanted to ask you for advice. Qing is very strong and can help me.
Then I'll go sell lunch boxes first. Sister-in-law, you have good cooking skills, so you can teach me a few dishes that will make those delicious ones unable to move."
Lu Li pointed at himself and said confidently, "I'll teach you. I'm already an expert. Whether you want to make home-cooked meals or special dishes, I'm good at it.
You're lucky, you've caught up with the right time. I've also researched boxed lunches, and selling them won't make you a loss."
Lu Sidi sat over and smiled very obediently, "Brother, you are my real brother, teach me, let me make some money, I am almost broke."
Lu Li blinked. "I didn't say I wouldn't teach you. Is your brother such a secretive person? After you get married, I'll teach you and also tell you about the ins and outs of doing business.
Don't be stupid and fall for other people's tricks. I may not be good at other things, but I have a lot of experience in this area. I will definitely make you a lot of money."
Lu Sidi chuckled, "Brother, you are the best, sister-in-law is also very good, and all of you are good."
These are her relatives. As for those so-called parents, they should just stay away from her. They will only squeeze out her surplus value.
She was willing to be the consort of any of these people.
The triplets ran over. Mi Li gave them the White Rabbit candy in her hand and said softly, "Auntie, have some candy."
Lu Sidi took out the red envelopes he had prepared and gave one to each child.
The baby is not afraid of strangers and says thank you with a big smile.
Lu Sidi envied: "Sister-in-law, you are so good at giving birth. The boy is handsome and the girl is delicate. When they grow up, I wonder how many people will be fascinated by them?
Don’t you have plans for a second child? With excellent genes, three more wouldn’t be too many.”
Jiang Yan choked up: "Do you think I'm a sow? I'm not fertile, but I can't give birth this way. I have to worry about three children. Do you think raising a child is so easy?
When you become a mother, you will understand how much I would have been in trouble if it weren’t for Xiao Li.”
Lu Li said arrogantly, "Of course not. I'm a professional babysitter. I'm happy to let my sister-in-law take care of them. I can also take care of you if you have three more."
Jiang Yanni glanced at him, "You're not guilty of saying that? You're almost crying. Besides, you have to be busy with your studies and inspect the store after class. If I have a second child, will you stay up all night to take care of it for me?"
That is truly the best of the best, a far superior brother-in-law.
Lu Li said casually: "These things can be arranged. It's not necessary for me to be there in person. I just need to settle the accounts. Nothing is more important than taking care of the baby for my sister-in-law. It's an honor to take care of the baby."
This made the others laugh.
Lu Miaoyan joked: "Brother, you are really good at talking. Look how happy you made my sister-in-law."
Lu Li boasted proudly, "Being sweet-talking and good at handling things is an advantage for a man. Could it be that you like the honest and dull ones? If I really give it to you, you won't be happy.
When looking for a man, look for one who is smart and capable, and whom you can control. Don't look for one who is honest and docile. If you quarrel with him, others will say it is your problem. People like to stand on the side of honest men.
Your sister is married, so you're the only one left. Don't just find someone casually. We don't recognize anyone. If you need a partner, we can check it out for you. It's perfect since you're here."
Lu Miaoyan's face turned red after hearing what he said. She fanned herself to cool down and said shyly, "Brother, don't make fun of me. I'm just a kid. My sister said that I'm not allowed to date anyone now.
When I graduate from technical secondary school and have a stable job, I will find someone like-minded. There is no good one for me to choose from now. Otherwise, you can find one for me in Beijing and I will marry there, so that I can live next to you.
If I have two more children in the future, you can take care of them for me. You can't let your sister-in-law take care of them and not your sister, right?"
Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "Daidaidai, if you want to give birth, I will take care of it for you. People go to high places, and water flows to low places.
Beijing is more developed, and if you settle down there, your children will also have Beijing hukou. If not for yourself, you have to think about your children. "
Lu Miaoyan supported her chin with one hand and looked at him with a smile, "Brother, you have matured a lot after getting married. It seems that your sister-in-law taught you well."
Song Jingtian shook her head. "Your brother is so self-disciplined that I don't need to teach him. He can react to anything without me reminding him. I'm a loser at home and I still need him to take care of me."
