Chapter 160 Can’t Help Much
"How is the child now?"
"It's all fine now, but the little savings the couple has saved aren't enough. I think she really wants to learn some skills to help support the family. But you just taught them, and if they're willing to work harder, they should be able to make some money."
Mrs. Qiu is not that kind-hearted. Deputy Battalion Commander He's family has a hard time, but whose family has an easy life?
Mrs. Wei owed more than two thousand yuan for her father years ago, and she and her husband took the responsibility themselves.
All she could do was help with the adjustment, she couldn't help much with other things.
Everyone has their own family, and no matter what time, they must take care of their own family first. Otherwise, if their family fails, how can they help everyone else?
"Selling braised meat may be smelly when you wash it, but it's still easy to sell. The sisters-in-law have mastered their craftsmanship and can make money selling it. They cook a small pot of spicy and non-spicy meat and sell them separately, and business is very good."
Su Wan also thought about opening a milk tea shop.
A milk tea shop from the 1980s should be a good choice. After all, she knew how to make milk tea in her previous life, and she is just replicating it in this life, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
Listening to Sister Wei's words, Su Wan also said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, if you want to make money, you still have to rely on yourself. The voices of reform and opening up are loud, which means that the country needs to promote these new policies. Although many people still look down on self-employed people, who would complain about having too much money?"
"You're right, that's what I meant. It's a pity that I still have to take care of the family affairs in the compound and can't go out to earn money. Otherwise, I would also like to be a self-employed person and earn some money."
Mrs. Qiu was not lying. She was quite envious of Su Wan now.
She has been through a lot and has never felt that being a self-employed person is shameful. Her husband, Mr. Qiu, told her that reform and opening up is in line with the trend of the times. Now Su Wan has caught the spring breeze of reform and opening up. Although she may not be rich in the future, she will definitely live a very good life.
In addition, seeing the electrical appliances Su Wan bought every time during this period, Mrs. Qiu was also very envious.
Unfortunately, she also received a salary in the army. Naturally, it was not as much as her man's monthly salary, but it was still 78 yuan. Compared with those people, her salary was undoubtedly very high, and she would also receive a pension when she retired.
If you calculate it now, it’s not even a thousand yuan a year. The things Su Wan’s family bought are at least enough for her salary for ten years.
Mrs. Qiu was also a little confused. What were those people in the compound still fighting about?
Su Wan has made a fortune by taking advantage of the reform and opening up, but they are still petty and scheming in the compound. They are really not worth helping.
The dinner in the evening was very sumptuous.
Since it was just a dinner party, the political commissar and regimental commanders chatted with her for a while and told these military families about their hard work before they sat down to eat.
Not only is the food in the compound good, but the soldiers are also eating good food tonight.
Even the girls in the art troupe, who always tried to maintain their figure, were given chicken soup.
Smelling the rich aroma, and the braised pork, and even two dumplings per person in the evening, everyone ate with their mouths drooling. Even the pigs raised in the army were fed with good pig broth today.
During the meal, Su Wan deliberately took out the Moutai she bought last time. After the children finished their meal, she brought down some fruit candies and milk candies from upstairs to share with them.
After they were finally done, the sisters-in-law packed up all their things and everyone left.
Su went upstairs in the evening and lay on the sofa, feeling extremely tired.
When Chen Yuan came in, he still smelled of alcohol.
He stood behind Su Wan and gently massaged her shoulders. "It must have been hard today. I see you did a lot of work today."
"I'm not really tired, but I just stood for a long time today and my feet are a little sore."
The main reason was that Chen Yuan lost his restraint as soon as he came back, causing Su Wan to suffer.
"I'm going to take a shower. We can go stay in the county later and drive back early tomorrow morning."
Glancing at the time, it was only a little after six-thirty, and the sun was still high in the sky. Su Wan thought for a moment before saying, "We might as well go out and buy some things. I can't sleep anyway, so why don't we just drive back in a bit?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan disagreed.
"You've just spent so much time doing chores and cleaning up, you must be very tired. We can go back later, it won't take a moment."
"I'm not really tired, and driving doesn't require much effort, so I think I'll be fine."
"Then let's drive back to the county first. If you feel you're okay after shopping, we can drive back. We can take turns driving on the way."
Su Wan said, then looked at Chen Yuan, "You look like you drank a lot, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Chen Yuan shook his head. "I've always had a good alcohol tolerance. I only drank half a bowl today. It's okay."
There was no concept of drunk driving in that era. As long as you were not drunk, you could drive.
The two of them quickly went into the bathroom and took a shower. Su Wan also washed her hair, wiped it casually, packed up her things and went home.
She took the car keys, put everything in place, and then went downstairs with Chen Yuan.
As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Mrs. Wei coming up.
"sister in law."
Su Wan called out, and Sister Wei looked at the two people carrying their things and asked, "Are you going back?"
"Well, it's still early. We want to go back to the county first, buy some things there, and then drive back."
"I was thinking about whether you would like to come to my house for dinner in a couple of days. Since you guys are going back, I'll wait until you get back and talk to you."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to treat us to a meal. We'll be back for a while. Besides, we all live in the same compound, so there's no need to be so polite."
Mrs. Wei didn't think much about it and followed them downstairs.
Su Wan and Chen Yuan got into the car with the car keys. Mrs. Wei looked at Su Wan sitting in the driver's seat and Chen Yuan sitting in the passenger seat, and she felt envious in her heart.
After the two men left, Mrs. Wei returned home.
Seeing her return so quickly, Captain Wei was surprised and asked, "Didn't I ask you to go find them? Why are they asleep?"
"They went back to the county."
As Mrs. Wei said this, she sat on a chair at home.
Captain Wei looked at his wife like that, and then thought about the bright and charming Su Wan today and her off-road vehicle, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
They are both battalion commanders, but why is his wife so useless, while Chen Yuan is so lucky that he can marry a wife who knows everything, even the car in the family was bought with her money.
Thinking of this, Captain Wei felt a little unbalanced.
He looked at his wife and said, "I don't care what method you use, you must get the position of store manager back. I don't know what you are thinking, but you don't want it."
