Aunt Guihua sneered: "The Qing Dynasty has been overthrown, but you haven't cut your braids yet? Universities are open, followed by economic reforms, and our leaders encourage people across the country to actively build.
You are the one who talks too much. I think your thinking is backward and you can't keep up with us. You are still complaining. If you keep nagging, I will knock out your teeth. Look at my bulging wallet, it's full of money.
I've only been out for three hours, can't you see how good the business is? You are so narrow-minded, you deserve not to be able to eat three dishes in your life, don't stop me, let's go."
After saying that, she pushed the other person away and walked towards her home.
Her son came back early and was washing clothes. Her daughter-in-law was cooking in the kitchen and saw her come in.
The eldest brother wiped the water off his hands, took the cart from her, and asked happily, "Mom, you look so radiant, is today's opening a boom? Is business good? I know my mom must be doing well."
Aunt Guihua was delighted by these words and gave him an appreciative look.
She drank two sips of water to moisten her dry throat, and said slowly: "If it weren't for your Aunt Miao, how could my business be so good? I have also figured out some tricks. I will do this in the future and I won't worry about not being able to sell.
Come with me to the market tonight, let's buy some more pig offal, they are very popular, I regret not braising enough yesterday."
She went into the house and took out the money she had earned, 1.5 cents each, piled high. When her husband saw it, his jaw dropped.
"This... is all your earnings today? You didn't lie to me, did you? Don't tell me you used your own pocket money to make yourself look rich."
As a level 5 worker, she earns more than 50 yuan a month, while most other workers only earn 30 or 40 yuan, so her salary is considered high.
He didn't expect that Aunt Guihua's trip would bring him such a big surprise. If he could make so much money, he would like to sell his job in the factory, set up a stall with his wife, and save some money for his retirement.
What's the use of retirement salary? It's not even enough to support the family and grandchildren.
What's more, he is in good health and can still work for many more years. He can't just stay at home and retire.
It’s not a son, and the younger one is not married yet, so we have to make arrangements for them.
The eldest son's daughter-in-law heard the noise, bent down, took out some firewood from the stove, and hurried over.
Seeing the money, she was delighted. "Mom, this is what you earned, right? You are so capable. Tomorrow, I will go to the stall with you. You can't handle it alone."
When her husband goes to work, she is responsible for everything around the house, and the children are picked up and dropped off by Aunt Guihua.
Each job is individually assigned. Not only is it hard to pass the exam, but there is no way to buy a job either, so I can only stay at home and do nothing.
If business is feasible, why bother to take the factory exam? It's a waste of time.
Aunt Guihua said proudly, "All this was earned this morning. After deducting the cost, the rest is profit. Let me count, how much did you earn today?"
She wet her hand with some saliva and counted the pennies one by one. The others did not blink, and only heard Aunt Guihua chanting: "One, two, three, four."
At the end of the counting, the costs are put aside and what remains is the profit, which will be left until she has counted everything.
Her man asked first: "How much did you make?"
If Aunt Guihua had a tail, she would have shaken it off. She kept it a secret, "Look how much money this is?"
Her husband estimated it and said without hesitation, "Seven or eight dollars."
Aunt Guihua patted her and said, "You have a good eye. It's more than seven yuan. Oh my god, I can't even imagine it. Lao Miao sells dozens of kilograms a day, so he must make dozens of yuan.
No wonder she is getting more and more enthusiastic about her work. It seems that money is flowing into her pocket every day. I will sell 20 to 30 kilograms tomorrow and try to make more than ten yuan.
Calculated this way, it's about 100 to 200 yuan a month. You've worked in the factory for so many years and you've only managed to get to level 5. Being a self-employed person is equivalent to three or four months' salary. You'd be a fool not to make money."
Her husband clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Just go ahead and do it. Buy the pig offal and I'll wash it. The eldest daughter-in-law knows how to stew it, right? Let her do it. You are responsible for keeping your spirits up and open the stall the next day. Our family will work hard together. Are you afraid that we won't make any money?
When we have enough money, we can buy a bigger yard and a shop. I will stop working and help you. You can be your own boss. It will be so glorious and you don’t have to worry about other people’s faces. "
The eldest daughter-in-law nodded and said, "When Aunt Miao was teaching Mom, I was watching from the side. I can get started quickly. You let Mom have a good rest and leave these trivial matters to me."
Before they saw the money, everyone was very conservative in their opinions, fearing that she would lose all her capital.
Once everyone sees the money, their minds are moved. Who can resist money? Seven dollars is a huge sum of money.
This was the first time Aunt Guihua had received such treatment, and she felt that her status in the family had risen.
"Boss, didn't we buy White Rabbit candy? Find it out. They have helped us so much. We can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. We still have a way to go in the future."
The eldest son's wife raised her hand and said, "Mom, I know where it is. I'll find it for you right away. I'll go with you to deliver it. Let's go to the market to buy some pig offal. I'm strong and can carry it for you. Let's buy a lot and double our profit tomorrow."
She couldn't wait to set up the stall with Aunt Guihua.
"Okay, come with me and show some respect for others. Don't look down on them just because they are from another place. They have a stronger foundation than you and have bought several courtyards nearby. We have been running for decades, but we still live in such a small house. When I have money in the future, I will also live in a courtyard house."
Her husband's eyes were full of longing, "My dear, I will wait for you to support me. My salary can only support the family. I dare not think about more. Whether our family can become rich depends on you.
But you have a good face. Didn’t the fortune tellers say that you will get richer as you get older? If I had known earlier, I would have calculated it too.”
Aunt Guihua patted him and said speechlessly: "You have no way of keeping your mouth shut. Stop hanging around me and do your own thing."
She put the money in the cookie box and wondered what else she could give.
In the evening, Jiang Yan had just finished eating when she heard a knock on the door.
As she walked, she said, "Who is it? Here I come."
Aunt Guihua's voice was like a loud speaker, "Xiaoyan, it's me, please open the door for me."
Jiang Yan unlocked the door and saw Aunt Guihua's smiling face, followed by a woman in coarse linen clothes.
The woman had a simple and honest face and said in a familiar manner, "You must be Xiaoyan, right? I am the daughter-in-law of Aunt Guihua's eldest son. If you don't mind, you can call me sister-in-law."
She handed over the gift in her hand. Jiang Yan looked at it with a helpless expression, "Aunt, what are you doing with these? It's okay to come. We will be embarrassed to go to your house next time.
Aren't you being so polite to us? Come inside quickly. Have you eaten? If not, it's still warm on the stove."
