One adult and two children went in, and Xu Xiangjuan talked about other things with Ding Li's parents outside.
It is now mid-March. I will continue to run the business at home for another half month and notify my customers to move. They will move in around early April.
I'll discuss with my parents when I get home, whether they want to come over to help or stay at home to run the steamed bun business, or just live a leisurely life.
It may still be difficult for her to live a leisurely life. After all, her parents spent a lot of money on last year's typhoon, and her mother is not completely calm yet. She wipes away tears every time she thinks about it.
Compared to Malatang, my parents prefer steamed buns and steamed bread.
If her parents make buns and steamed buns at home, she can hire someone to do the work in town.
The town is quite far from the village. If no one in the village is willing, just look in the town.
The room was empty, but the adult and two children were fascinated by the sight.
Xu Xiangjuan came in and called them, and saw them working on the stove inside.
Stoves are very useful in rural areas and almost every household has one. The stoves here can also hold two pots, and it is not the first time for adults and children to see a stove.
The main reason is that the house is too empty, and Gua Gua can only watch the stove with his father.
After viewing and negotiating, the family left first, agreeing to move the tables and chairs and pay half a year's rent on the first of next month.
The rent for half a year was only 60 yuan, so Xu Xiangjuan could still afford half the money for a watch.
Zhou Chengning rode a tricycle on the way, "Juan, it's only a five-minute walk from the school. I pass by there on my way to work. It only takes five minutes to walk, but a bicycle is even faster."
"We are lucky. We don't even need dad to use favors." Xu Xiangjuan told her father that they should confirm it in April. There is no need to rush and they should ask around first.
Her father asked her about several places, but she was not satisfied with any of them. Either the location was not good, or the price was too high, and there were not many places available.
Sister Ding settled on 10 yuan because her father told her that the rent would be 20 yuan per month.
20 yuan. Not to mention how much she earns in a month from her business, her son Aning only earns 37 yuan a month now. This will take away half of Aning's salary for a month. It's too expensive. From what her father described, the place isn't that big.
Guagua: "Mom, when I'm hungry in the future, I'll go to a small restaurant to eat. Can I bring other children to eat with me?"
Zhou Chengning: "Guagua, if you want to invite other children, you have to pay for it yourself. You have to pay to sit at the table to eat. If you don't pay, you have to eat outside."
Children should be influenced by correct ideas from an early age. Bringing other children over to eat all day long will encourage unhealthy trends.
It is obvious that neither of them has that kind of personality, so how could they raise a child with Guagua's personality?
"I paid for it!" Guagua said, thinking about the money in his purse, and felt that he should be able to invite Miaomiao, Xiaojiang, and Xixi to come over for dinner.
For lunch, Sister Xixi and Sister Xiaojiang, who are in elementary school, can also come over to eat.
She remembered that she needed meal tickets to eat in elementary school, and Sister Xixi said that they were bought with money, and treating everyone could save meal tickets for Sister Xixi and Sister Xiaojiang.
She and Miaomiao’s lunch in kindergarten is distributed by the teacher. After receiving the lunch distributed by the teacher, they come to Mama’s Restaurant.
Zhou Cheng would rather not know that his daughter had so many thoughts and continued to educate her.
Xu Xiangjuan just listened on the side and did not interfere with her father's education of his daughter.
...
Wu Caifeng: "Did you find a good place so quickly?"
Xu Xiangjuan was feeding Niu Niu. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. She had just finished her own work and was preparing to eat. "Mom, what are your and Dad's plans? Do you want to live a leisurely life at home or sell steamed buns here, or come to town with me. It's a bit far, but it's not bad to ride a bike."
Wu Caifeng couldn't make a decision right away. "It's not like we haven't walked before. It's not that far... Juan, let your dad and I think about it."
"Mom, you and Dad think about it. I was originally planning to open a business in the county town because I can make more money there. But Aning works in a school in town, and Guagua and Niu Niu still have kindergarten and elementary school to go to. So I thought it would be better to save money for a year or two first, and then go to Huadu after a year or two." Xu Xiangjuan had not hidden the idea of going to Huadu from her parents and had already mentioned it.
She left home in her previous life, but not far away, just in the county town. She was quite familiar with the county town. She didn't stop until her children were able to take care of themselves. She usually kept spinning like a top. Although she was not far from her parents, she basically never went home.
She still couldn't take care of her daughter and son, so she asked them to go to their grandparents' house to eat and stay for a few days, and she herself rarely went back.
If she goes to Huadu, teachers and students will have winter and summer vacations. She can still run her own small business. When she has money to hire people and expand the scale, she will be the boss. The boss always has free time, and she can go home with Aning and the children to spend the winter and summer vacations.
If it is still on a small scale, it goes without saying that she can close the business whenever she wants.
I did a lot of jobs in my previous life, and the highest I could achieve was a workshop director. I didn’t have much free time, so I just want to spend more time with my family in this life.
Wu Caifeng: "Huadu is so far away, and I don't have any relatives there."
Wu Caifeng felt uncomfortable when she thought of her daughter going to Huadu, but since the eldest, second and third daughters were all out, she had no reason to stop her youngest daughter.
Xu Xiangjuan: "There are relatives, mom. Aunt Aning is in Huadu. We also write to her once a month to tell her about grandpa's situation and other things."
Xu Gensheng still didn't quite believe it: "Can the son-in-law's relatives be trusted?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Dad, my aunt came here on the first day of the Lunar New Year last year. It's not like you didn't see her."
Wu Caifeng was still very impressed. "I saw her. She seemed very reliable, but would she care about you?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, we are not going to live in someone else's house. If we were to live in someone else's house, why would I work so hard to make money? Basically, I won't bother them. Just ask if you have any questions. I may be busy in the first one or two years. I will definitely come back during the Chinese New Year. After that, I will be free and go home for the winter and summer vacations... Niu Niu, wait, mom will scoop some porridge for you now."
As Xu Xiangjuan was talking, she ignored Niu Niu. Niu Niu clapped his mother's hand and asked her to feed him porridge.
Wu Caifeng: "You have your own ideas, and your parents can't control you. You have paid for half a year. Will the price increase in the future?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, let's do it for half a year to get a feel for it. Some things may look good, but they may not be good. We have to try them first. If they are really good, I can discuss the price increase with them. Their family is pretty easy to talk to."
You still need to get a feel for it for half a year.
Wu Caifeng: "Your father and I will think about it. Next time we go to the market, Juan, you can take mom to see which house is there."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Okay, I know, Mom. I'll take you to see it when the time comes."
...
April arrived quickly, and Xu Xiangjuan had already told her customers that the business was moving to the town. Some customers had complaints, but most of the occasional customers had little impact and said they would come back when the market was open.
Xu Xiangjuan also told her old guests about the new address, so if they really want to come, they will definitely be able to find it.
On the first day of officially moving things, Zhou Chengning had to go to work, so he got up early. Before Gua Gua even got up, he went to move things.
Yesterday, Xu Xiangjuan went there in her husband's car, paid the money and got the keys, put up a plaque for the restaurant, and officially moved in today.
All the tables, cabinets and chairs had to be moved, and it was impossible to finish them in one trip, so Zhou Chengning got up early and decided to ride two trips.
Two trips still couldn't finish the moving, so Xu Xiangjuan planned to have her husband ride a tricycle to carry some furniture over, and she would do the rest. She could make more trips anyway, as she was busy cleaning up these days and not doing business, so she had a lot of free time.
But her son Aning insisted on getting up early in the morning for a ride, so she had no choice but to give in to him, handing him the keys, and she stayed at home to make breakfast.
Guagua smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the kitchen, "Mom, it smells so good."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom made egg pancakes, and Guagua ate them before going to kindergarten."
Guagua took his own egg pancake, drank a mouthful of porridge, and then began to eat the egg pancake. After taking a bite, he realized that his father was not there, "Mom, where is Dad?"
Usually when mom is there, dad is definitely there too.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Dad is out and will be back soon."
Some people come back without even having to say it.
Zhou Chengning smelled the food and asked, "Why does breakfast smell so good today?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "It's been a long time since I last had an omelet, so I think it's delicious. Here's a freshly made omelet. Eat it."
Ever since the family started selling steamed buns and steamed buns, breakfast has basically been steamed buns and steamed buns. No wonder the father and daughter think that egg pancakes are more delicious. No matter how delicious the steamed buns and steamed buns are, it is difficult to smell the fragrance of the filling inside.
Zhou Chengning had just gone out and was hungry, so he ate an omelet with big mouthfuls.
After breakfast, Guagua saw his father stuffing tables and chairs into the tricycle and asked his mother, "Mom, are we moving?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "We are going to open a small restaurant in the town. We can move the tables and chairs over there. Dad will be ready soon. This morning, mom rode her bicycle to deliver melons, and dad rode his tricycle to deliver the tables and chairs."
Guagua: "I know, Mom, can you take me to the restaurant first and then to the kindergarten?"
Xu Xiangjuan was not in charge of picking up the children, so she was not very clear about the specific schedule of the kindergarten: "Won't you be late?"
Guagua: "I am the first one to arrive every day! I will never be late."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Okay then, let's go to the restaurant first, Guagua. Our restaurant is called Chengxiang Restaurant. Remember that? Guagua, you can learn to read when the time comes."
The small restaurant asked Carpenter Chen to make a plaque. Aning wrote the calligraphy with a brush, and Carpenter Chen was responsible for the later polishing. It was hung up yesterday. Carpenter Chen's home is in Maodong Village. He opened a store in the town at the beginning of this year, which was convenient for hanging the plaque.
Urban and rural areas, towns and villages, there is cheng and xiang, which indirectly includes their names.
It turns out that her daughter Aning had thought of many poetic names, but she felt that they were too literary and inappropriate, and preferred to be more down-to-earth in urban and rural areas.
Aning was quite resistant at first, but when she told him that their names were in the book, he gave in and said that the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was and the more suitable it seemed.
Guagua: “I remember it!”
...
"Gua Gua, come with daddy quickly, or you'll be late for kindergarten." Xu Xiangjuan urged Gua Gua, who was sitting on a chair and swinging his short legs.
Guagua still hadn’t sat long enough: “Mom, I’ll sit for a while longer.”
Zhou Chengning looked at the time on his watch, "Gua Gua, it's already eight o'clock. Dad has to go to school. Dad is going to be late."
Xu Xiangjuan continued, "Mom has to go back quickly. My brother is still sleeping at home. He will wake up soon. We are about to close here."
Gua Gua also wanted her mother to send her off and her father to leave first.
Since her mother had said so, she had no choice but to follow her father.
After asking the little ancestor to leave, Xu Xiangjuan did not clean up the tables and chairs. She locked the door, rode her tricycle home first, and left the bicycle to the father and daughter.
When they got home, Niu Niu was still sleeping, so Xu Xiangjuan continued to pack other things. In addition to the furniture, she also had to pack all the kitchen utensils.
Her parents agreed to come over, but she didn't want to trouble them to move their things, so she said they would come after the store officially opened.
The role of the tricycle is quite obvious. Her parents said they wanted to buy a tricycle. The bicycle at home has been rusted and can't be used. They want to buy a small tricycle so that it will be convenient for them to go home and transport vegetables.
Xu Xiangjuan thought that the space at the entrance was spacious enough and two tricycles would not be crowded, so she agreed to go look at tricycles next time and buy one for her parents.
It turned out that she thought it was not very decent for Aning to buy a tricycle, but later she really discovered how useful the tricycle was.
Especially when buying food, she could just put several kilograms of vegetables in the bike and ride it.
When Xu Xiangjuan went to see if Niu Niu had woken up, she remembered that she should send Niu Niu's chair over as well.
She still had to move a few things today, and she couldn't let Aning get up early in the morning and ride the bike twice.
