Chapter 396: Good News at the Open Door
Diao Yulian hurried back to the west room and closed the door with a click.
Covering her chest, her mind was full of "Auntie".
He threw himself on the bed, unable to cry, and pounded the bed desperately.
"Wow, I'm so upset. He didn't even want to help with the slightest favor and even scolded me. I can't live like this anymore."
Wu Shengli rubbed his face and opened his mouth to make her angry to death.
"That's not right, Yulian, you don't live with Xiaotong.
You know Xiaotong's personality. She is the same as Gao Xiulan.
Besides, you’ve been scolded a lot before, right?
How come I could bear it before, but now I can’t?”
Diao Yulian's anger instantly shifted to Wu Shengli. She jumped up without even bothering to put on her shoes.
As soon as the door was closed, he slapped Wu Shengli in the face, making him scream.
Wu Shengli jumped onto the kang and bounced vigorously: "Why are you hitting me again? Am I not telling the truth?"
Diao Yulian gritted her teeth. The truth was harsh and it immediately exposed the little thoughts in her heart.
Outside, Lin Xiaotong rode her bicycle happily to class, while Gao Xiulan stood in the yard with her arms folded, listening to several conversations.
"Diao Yulian was just given a little color and she rushed to open a dyeing factory!
Oh, it’s already this late, Shujuan, why don’t you go to the vegetable market? I’ll take you on my bike!
He went back to the room, looked at the time, and slapped his thigh.
"Diao Yulian is really wasting time!"
Normally, she would have come back from shopping at this time. Fortunately, the store now has hired people, otherwise it would be really difficult.
Yang Shujuan responded from the east room next door: "I'm coming, wait for me to get a basket."
Gao Xiulan was riding a women's bicycle with Yang Shujuan on the back seat. She was not idle either, chattering all the way.
"Today I want to see if I can buy a chicken. Xiaotong loves it. She's been tired today, so I have to give her some good nourishment."
Yang Shujuan's cheeks were almost sore from laughing, and she echoed a few times.
"She should, because she uses her brain and mouth a lot in class. I'll buy one later, too. Zhou Zhou always asks for chicken stewed with mushrooms."
"I heard Dazui say the day before yesterday that there's a stall in the market selling very tender spring bamboo shoots, so I decided to go check it out today."
In spring, people pay attention to fresh and tender food. Roast chicken with spring bamboo shoots is also a good choice.
"My husband, Xia, really liked the spring rolls I made last time. By the way, Xiulan, do you think it's okay for me to set up a stall in Xiushui Street?"
Gao Xiulan didn't expect Yang Shujuan to come over and ask her, but after listening, she didn't make any promises.
"Zhou Zhou is older now, you can go out and find something to do to kill time.
There are quite a lot of people in Xiushui Street, and many foreigners go there.
Come back and discuss this matter with your husband, Lao Xia. The specifics of how to proceed should be discussed between yourselves behind closed doors."
In fact, every family in the compound has a different way of earning pocket money, and she was not the first one to start it.
Apart from anything else, Jin Qiaofeng's matchmaking business started a long time ago, and this small matchmaking agency has a history of more than 20 years.
The people in their alley are all smart.
Most people don’t look for a place specifically. They just drill a hole in the wall and start a food business.
Because of his good craftsmanship, all the neighbors come to visit him.
There is another good thing. When you see others making money, the first thing you do is not to be jealous, but to come back and sit together with your spouse to think about what you can do for yourself.
We all have two eyes and a mouth, so why can others make money?
Can't we do it at home?
Suffering? The older generation who have experienced hardship are not afraid!
Action was taken quickly, and everyone witnessed Xiushui Street develop from a few scattered stalls to a commercial street.
Those who make money will not brag about it. At the end of the 1970s, a family with an annual income of 10,000 yuan emerged in this alley.
The family was interviewed and featured in the newspaper.
Before the joy on his face faded, his house was robbed by a group of people within a week and he almost lost his life.
There are many people who voluntarily resign from the steel mill. They don't even want a stable job, and they just leave without any hesitation. They don't even care about being on unpaid leave.
Wave after wave of people flocked to the commercial streets across Beijing, eager to get a piece of the pie.
What's so shameful about making money through skill? It's only when you make a loss that you're embarrassed.
An ordinary aunt who sells tea eggs at the train station all year round has a wallet that is fatter than you can imagine.
Yang Shujuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Xiu Lan, you are right. I will talk to Lao Xia when he comes back at noon."
Having said that, she is also a successful person and has already figured out where to start.
"Hey, did the little girl from the old Tian family at the end of the alley really give up her assigned job and go to Pengcheng to work on her own?"
Gao Xiulan also heard about this: "I heard from Dazui that it was true. The person left by train a long time ago."
"This girl is really bold." Yang Shujuan felt that if it were her, she would not be willing to do this.
"The timid will die of starvation, and the bold will die of gluttony. That girl is obviously someone who can do great things."
In fact, this person is an acquaintance, Tian Wanxia, the little girl of Tian Caohua's family.
After graduating from university, he chose to start his own business, which caused a sensation in the alley.
Tian Caohua and her two daughters earned money by selling melon seeds and settled down in the alley.
After Boss Ye died, his three daughters changed their surname to Tian.
The house in Yingtaogou was completely sold to Laizi, and he would not return to the village unless necessary.
The Tian family still respects the little girl's decision.
After all, she has to walk the future path on her own.
After reading books, one’s vision and thinking are different, so the Tian family members are not worried that the most astute Wanxia will be deceived.
It's good enough that she doesn't lie.
Tian Caohua once said to Gao Xiulan, "Even if Wanxia brought back a young man from outside and said he wanted to marry into our family, she wouldn't be surprised."
Gao Xiulan had a hunch that her family's Orange might follow this path in the future, so she and Lao Xie prepared some start-up capital.
Xiaotong and Xie Yi have stable jobs, good company benefits, and will receive a lot of pensions when they retire.
Although Orange's family is not wealthy, it's okay for him to take a less stable path.
Orange also said that he would make a lot of money in the future to buy a car and take his family out for fun.
Have some fun at home, then take a plane to travel abroad.
By then, Gao Xiulan will be envied to death by her younger sisters.
Oh, I can’t think about it anymore. I laughed too much this morning and the corners of my mouth are twitching.
Yang Shujuan felt that what Xiaotong said before made sense.
"No wonder people say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If I don't have any children and grandchildren, I will enjoy the happiness."
"That's right, just eat and drink well."
…
During the Dragon Boat Festival, the west room started cleaning early in the morning. Diao Yulian and Wu Shengli were busy at home.
He passed by the door with his mouth wide open and choked.
"Ahem, Diao Yulian, what are you doing at home? It's not Chinese New Year."
I've never seen two of them so diligent before.
Diao Yulian came out with a newspaper hat on her head and a broom in her hand.
She had a happy look on her face and even gave Zhang Dazui a wink.
"Isn't this my Jiabao coming back? The house needs to be cleaned thoroughly."
Zhang Dazui stepped out of the hanging flower gate and went to the front yard, muttering to himself, "Is this like welcoming a new bride?
Could it be that Wu Jiabao has finally found a girlfriend? I haven't heard Diao Yulian tell anyone about it.
He was walking with his head down and almost bumped into Guan Lamei who came in hurriedly with her elbow in her hand.
"Oh my god, Lamei, you are so steady."
Zhang Dazui almost lost his balance, while Guan Lamei stood there motionless.
Guan Lamei chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, Big Mouth. I'll give you some of this pork elbow later."
Zhang Dazui was about to refuse when he heard Gao Xiulan exclaim outside the door: "Wu Jiabao, is that your girlfriend next to you?"
The two of them rushed out the door in a flash.
Diao Yulian also heard it and started jogging.
Lin Xiaotong, who was washing vegetables by the sink, felt a gust of wind and her hair swung forward.
All I could hear was Diao Yulian shouting, "Jiabao, damn Jiabao, you're finally back."
There was also Guan Lamei’s loud voice: “Oh my god, Diao Yulian, you are going to be a grandmother!
Hey, why is he dizzy? Xiulan, come over and give me a hand."
