Aunt Hu drank hot tea and said slowly, "I was taking care of their children in the city and just came back yesterday. As soon as I arrived, I heard that you were coming to the island to celebrate the New Year. I was so happy.
I haven't seen you for almost a year. How come you look younger and younger? Look at my face. There are so many wrinkles on it. It's all because of my children's anger."
Hu Xueer spread her hands, having no other choice. "Mom, there are so many people here, please stop insulting me. Let's save our face."
Her mother is also a person who doesn't know how to enjoy her blessings. She feels uncomfortable all over if she doesn't do anything for a day.
In the compound, I go to plow the soil every day and grow fruits and vegetables. When I come back, I cook for my father.
When she arrived in the city, she had free time except for picking up and dropping off the children. She was so bored that she bought cloth and made a lot of clothes.
It also combines the current popular styles and is made to look presentable.
Everything Hu Xueer wears every day is made by her. Her classmates are very envious of her. Her mother is really so clever and skillful.
Most of the people living near the island are fishermen. Those who have land are busy working in the fields, while those who don’t have land go out to sea to fish.
I don’t have the time to look at styles. I just have some cloth on hand and sew it a few times to cover my body.
No matter whether it looks good or not, it can't grow a flower and can't be eaten raw.
Rural people don’t care about these things.
Among college students, the proportion of those from cities is not large, and many of them are from villages, and their conditions are average.
Hu Xueer always dresses so brightly and beautifully in class. She used to be very low-key for fear of causing discomfort to others.
After spending a long time with Jiang Yan, she felt that young people should dress up and not care about what others think. If they don’t dress up now, will they wear it when they are old?
At that time, it was not appropriate, so I wore whatever looked good. Instead of wasting my time, I would rather waste time on others.
She wanted to be as beautiful as Jiang Yan's mental state. As a teacher, it is easy to sulk. She was afraid that if she suppressed her anger for too long, she would get breast nodules and would have to ask Jiang Yan to treat her.
Just do as Jiang Yan said, if you are angry, express it on the spot, don't keep it in overnight. If you swallow your anger, others will not think you are well-educated, but will think you are easy to bully and exploit.
Many people bully the weak and fear the strong.
Lu Yan has a good temper, but he cannot touch upon issues of principle, otherwise, his temper can be quite scary.
It seems that she is the only vulnerable person in the family.
My aunt is happy to see her change, but as parents, we are also afraid that our children will be bullied when they are outside.
It’s better to be fierce, so that people won’t point fingers at you. Like Jiang Yan, who dares to say anything about her?
As soon as you say that, she will bring a stool to your door, sit down and scold you. After she finishes scolding, her brother-in-law will take over and scold you until you are completely cursed.
Who among the aunts and sisters-in-law in the courtyard dared to provoke her? If you want to gossip, you have to look at the person first. You have to be so authoritative.
Aunt Hu glanced at her and said, "Why are you embarrassed? She's not a stranger, she's one of us. I haven't seen your Aunt Miao for a long time, and I miss her a lot."
Seeing that she's doing well in Beijing, I'm relieved. Let's not talk about your business. How is it going? Is it thriving? When you succeed, take us with you.
When the child grows up, they will take care of him by themselves. I have nothing else to do at home, so I might as well go out and make some money. If you leave me idle, I can't do it. I will work hard all my life."
Hu Xueer interjected, "Why don't you tell me? When my dad retires, are you going to go back to my hometown with him to raise chickens and farm? Why are you thinking of doing business? You have a new idea every day. Does my dad know?"
Aunt Hu said righteously, "So what if he knows? Can't I do what I like? Ever since I was young, I have been chasing after him.
I've been doing my best for him over the years. Now that I'm old, can't I make my own decisions? He has no say in that."
Miao Xiuying told her truthfully, "Business is pretty good. I've opened a few more shops, and everything is on track. I'm making several thousand yuan a day, and I've even bought a few small courtyards in Beijing.
I am not yet in my seventies or eighties, so I can’t just stay at home and wait for my children to take care of me in my old age.”
Aunt Hu was eager to do it after hearing this. If Miao Xiuying could do it, she could do it too. She was a hardworking person.
No matter how successful she is, she feels valuable just by making a living. The older generation has a very hard life.
Miao Xiuying: "It's not as hard as you think. Right now, it's a great time to make money. Even if you are a pig, you will take off. You can test the waters on the island.
If you do this and come to Beijing again, I will tell you in detail that it is no longer called speculation and profiteering, but called self-employed individuals. The country has fully implemented reform and opening up.
Right now, it's time to boost the economy. We're implementing national policies, and no one can tell us we're being intimidated by those old feudal ideologies."
Those who work in factories always feel that it is shameful to go out and become self-employed. Having a stable job means being superior.
At least, you don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun outside.
Miao Xiuying wasn't envious at all. Factories are mortal, but people are alive. How could one not strive for success? Who doesn't want a good life?
You earn thirty or forty yuan a month and you think your future is promising. But if she earns tens of millions a month, shouldn't she be on TV?
Well, I did.
Now, the men in the family work for her. Wherever she goes, everyone calls her Boss Miao, because they all know that her family’s braised food and marinade packets are the best.
Many people from other provinces heard of his reputation and came to him to purchase goods, spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars each time.
She wouldn't do any small business unless she had very good relationships with the people involved. She doesn't have the time for that.
She is a big boss after all. In addition to setting up a stall to sell braised food in the morning, she inspects the store at noon.
Or you can go around and see if there is a suitable courtyard house, buy it and put it away. You can do whatever you want with money, and it can be considered a disguised form of revenge consumption.
Having come from the famine years, when money was tight, how can the poor become rich? Those who understand will understand.
Miao Xiuying cannot be denied that having money is better than being poor forever. No one can scare her, right?
When they returned, they were very popular and even the captain had to flatter them.
Just sprinkle some water in your hands and repair the road in the village. Wouldn’t it be more convenient for everyone?
What's the saying? If you want to get rich, build roads first.
Aunt Hu said casually, "How could I be scared? I only scare others. The country says it's reforming and opening up, and encourages ordinary people to do business.
He's talking nonsense. Isn't that contrary to policy? I'm even suspicious of her motives.
"Okay, let's do this. Let's stick with it for a while."
He didn't think that success would be 100%. He just needed to learn more and sum up his experience, and he would succeed eventually.
How could someone eat a fat man in one breath? Miao Xiuying appreciated his attitude and suggested, "Why don't you also sell braised food and buy the marinade packets from me? Instead of giving others a discount, it's better to save yourself. I'll charge you a lower price."
Xiaoyan said that she had full authority over these matters and that even a penny less would be enough, and she was talking with great enthusiasm.
I just won't give in. As for Aunt Hu, I'll just give in a little. We're old sisters, how can we be the same as others?
