In the room, Zhang's mother was whispering to her daughter.
"Yingying, how is your recovery now?" Zhang's mother asked while holding her little grandson.
Zhang Rongying touched the tight skin around her waist and said with satisfaction, "I'm almost fully recovered now!"
She is an obstetrician and gynecologist, and is much better at postpartum recovery than the average person. Plus, with the right living conditions, she did her best in everything from diet to daily routine to recovery training, so naturally she recovered quickly.
Mother Zhang said, "If you recover, you can consider having a second child. You know the customs of having children in Bailiang County. Your parents-in-law must also want to have many children and grandchildren. If you give the Jiang family two more big fat grandchildren, your position as the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family will be secure."
Zhang Rongying smiled and said, "Mom, look at what you said. Even if I don't have children, my position as the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family is as stable as it can be. After all, my marriage with Jiang Fei was arranged by my brother-in-law."
Mother Zhang smiled and said, "It's always a good thing to have an extra layer of insurance. Besides, you don't have to work hard to take care of the child after it's born. There will be a nanny to take good care of it. Under these conditions, wouldn't it be reasonable for you to have more children?"
Zhang Rongying said: "I know this. I will definitely have a second child. I will see how my body is doing then. If I recover well, I will consider having a third child. If I don't recover well enough, then I will stop here. After all, maintaining a good figure is the most important thing. I can't make myself bloated because of having a baby. That would be putting the cart before the horse."
Zhang's mother nodded and said, "That's true. Men all like their wives to have attractive figures. It's really not worth it to make your body bloated just for the sake of having children. Anyway, it's up to you. As long as you maintain your figure, have as many children as possible."
Zhang Rongying hummed and said, "I understand. I will take care of it myself."
…
After dinner, Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang went back to take a nap, leaving Jiang Fei and his father-in-law alone in the living room chatting.
Jiang Fei today is no longer the same as before.
Thinking back to when his wife brought him home to meet her parents for the first time, she found out that his future father-in-law was the director of a department in a Class-A hospital. It would be impossible for Jiang Fei, a high school graduate, not to have a sense of inferiority.
As time went by, in just less than two years, Jiang Fei had gone from being a small worker to a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions. And thanks to his younger brother, he had often dealt with those big bosses with extraordinary status, and his horizons had already been broadened.
Now facing his father-in-law who is the director of a department in a tertiary hospital, Jiang Fei already has a certain psychological advantage, and he can naturally express himself freely when chatting.
"Dad, do you have any ideas for progress in the hospital? I know the leader of the Health Department. If you have any ideas, I can help to make some connections. I'm sure the leader will give me some face." Jiang Fei said confidently.
Father Zhang looked dazed when he heard this. He didn't expect his son-in-law to have grown to this point. He was happy and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Fei, if I were ten or eight years younger, I would still have the idea of making progress, but now I'm not young anymore. It's good to be the head of a department. There's no need to make any more trouble."
Jiang Fei smiled and said, "That's fine. In fact, being a hospital leader may not be as comfortable as being a department head!"
Father Zhang smiled when he heard this. This statement does make sense. It is not necessarily true that a higher position is more comfortable than a lower position, especially in a hospital.
The father-in-law and son-in-law drank tea and chatted.
Because they met their father-in-law and mother-in-law often, Jiang Fei and his wife did not stay long. They took their children back home at around 2:00 p.m.
…
Qinghe Town.
Chen's mother was in a good mood as she helped the customer chop the freshly slaughtered chicken into pieces. She had chopped dozens of chickens and ducks a day on average over the years, and her knife skills had already been perfected.
With the flash of the knife, a chicken was chopped in just a few tens of seconds. The size of each piece of chicken looked as if it had been measured with a ruler, which made the guests very satisfied.
After the customer left with the chopped chicken, Chen's mother killed a chicken for the next customer. She had professional chicken-killing equipment. When she put the live chicken into the equipment, the chicken's neck was exposed. She could easily cut the neck without anyone's help to hold it.
Then wait until the chicken is completely dead, scald it in hot water for a while, and then you can pluck its feathers.
It may take an ordinary person half a day to pluck the feathers of a chicken.
But in Chen's mother's hands, she could easily remove large pieces of chicken feathers by just rubbing her hands on the chicken. In just three or five strokes, she could remove all the chicken feathers.
Then they cut open the stomach at a speed several times faster than that of an ordinary person.
This customer was obviously a regular customer. Seeing that Chen's mother had a smile on her face while she was killing the chicken, it was obvious that she had encountered some happy event, so he asked, "Madam, I see that you have a smile on your face all the time. Did you win the lottery or have some happy event?"
Mother Chen's hands kept moving, but she smiled and said, "It's really a happy event. My little son, who made me worry so much, is finally getting married!"
The familiar customer obviously knew what kind of person Chen's mother's youngest son was, and immediately laughed and said, "So you are going to marry a daughter-in-law. That is indeed worth celebrating. I wonder where your daughter-in-law is from?"
Mother Chen said happily: "My daughter-in-law is from the neighboring town of Tanjiang. She is a teacher at a middle school in the county. It is a great honor for our bastard to marry her!"
As she spoke, Chen's mother's knife flashed, and she chopped the chicken in no time.
The regular customer chatted for a few minutes and then left with the chopped chicken.
In the afternoon, Chen's father came back in his sports car and also came to help kill the chickens.
Mother Chen never forgets the well digger. She knows that her bastard son's success today is all thanks to Master Jiang from Longshan Village. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she asked, "Old Chen, did you buy the mooncakes I asked you to buy?"
Father Chen said, "I've already bought them. There are flavors like five-nut, red bean paste, lotus seed paste and egg yolk. They are all famous mooncake brands."
Mother Chen said, "Go back and get two of the biggest mooncakes, and remember to bring the invitation. I'll kill a chicken and send it to Master Jiang's house later. The change that our little brat has experienced today is all thanks to Master Jiang."
Father Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go back and get it."
…
5:30 pm.
In a residential area in Bailiang County, Chen Wensheng leaned against the kitchen door, watching his girlfriend Wang Xiumei cooking skillfully, his heart filled with love.
Soon, Wang Xiumei finished cooking the dishes. She turned around and saw her boyfriend's tender eyes. She couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you looking at? Come over and serve the dishes."
Chen Wensheng walked over, put his hand through her apron, hugged her from behind and said, "I was just thinking that I must have been a savior in my previous life, so I was lucky enough to meet you in this life."
Wang Xiumei felt sweet in her heart, but she snorted, "You are not necessarily lucky to meet me. From now on, you will be controlled by me. You may soon get tired of this life without freedom."
Chen Wensheng whispered in her ear: "This must be lucky. I like being controlled by you and I will never get tired of it."
Wang Xiumei spat, "Slippery tongue, hurry up and serve the dishes and go out to eat!"
Chen Wensheng kissed her on the face before letting her go.
Then two people served the dishes while one took the bowls and chopsticks.
While eating, Wang Xiumei picked up a piece of tofu for Chen Wensheng and said, "Tomorrow is your last day of work, and then you can resign!"
Chen Wensheng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Resign?"
Wang Xiumei smiled and said, "If you don't quit, do you really plan to be a security guard for the rest of your life?"
Chen Wensheng said sweet words without hesitation: "As long as you like it, I am willing to be a security guard for the rest of my life."
Wang Xiumei was pleased to hear this, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who would like a little security guard like you?"
Chen Wensheng blinked and said, "Don't slander me. Don't you know whether I am young or not?"
Wang Xiumei spat, "Lsp, you can even drive this."
Chen Wensheng chuckled and said, "You don't like security guards, so why did you keep stopping me when I wanted to resign?"
Wang Xiumei drank a mouthful of soup and snorted, "Don't you know what kind of person you were before?"
Chen Wensheng naturally knew what kind of person he was before, and said with emotion: "It's really not easy. I have persisted for so long, and finally I have picked up my lost reputation bit by bit."
Wang Xiumei glanced at him and said, "Think carefully about what you are going to do after you quit your job. You can't let me or your parents support you, right?"
If it was the previous Chen Wensheng, he would have felt at ease living off his parents, but after the guidance of Teacher Wang over the past six months, he has developed a certain level of ambition and it is impossible for him to be as lame as before.
After thinking for a while, Chen Wensheng asked, "Dear, what do you think I should do?"
Wang Xiumei asked back: "Which industry are you more interested in?"
Chen Wensheng said: "I thought about opening a fast food restaurant a long time ago, but I didn't know anything. I was afraid that I would work hard to open a fast food restaurant, but end up losing money. It would be better to stay at home and rely on my parents!"
Wang Xiumei said: "If the fast food restaurant is well run, it will make a lot of money, but if it is not run well, it will really lose money and my parents will not recognize it."
Chen Wensheng nodded and said, "So I thought about it, but I never took action because I felt that I was not cut out for business."
Wang Xiumei said: "I don't know much about fast food restaurants, so I can't give you any advice. But if you want to open a housekeeping service company, I might be able to give you some suggestions."
Chen Wensheng raised his eyebrows: "Housekeeping service company?"
Wang Xiumei took a bite of the food and said, "Yes, a housekeeping service company. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the widespread application of new technologies, the housekeeping service industry has developed rapidly and is thriving. There should be great potential for opening a housekeeping service company."
Chen Wensheng said: "If I open a housekeeping company, I know I have to recruit nannies to train them, and then find a way to sell them to clients. I don't know anything else."
Wang Xiumei began her long speech: "To open a housekeeping service company, you must first determine the target market, service scope, pricing strategy, marketing strategy, organizational structure and other aspects. In addition, you need to conduct market research to understand the local housekeeping service market demand, competition, consumer preferences and other information.
Once you have done this, you can register your company.
Once you have obtained a business license and other necessary documents, you can start recruiting employees.
Housekeeping companies need to recruit experienced housekeeping service personnel, such as family nannies, confinement nannies, childcare nannies, cleaners, etc., to ensure that they can provide high-quality services.
Another thing is to manage the supply chain, including purchasing daily necessities such as cleaning supplies, detergents, disinfectants, as well as items needed for services such as meals and medical care.
This requires building relationships with suppliers to obtain high-quality and reasonably priced supplies.
The last step is marketing and promotion. You can choose various channels for publicity, such as social media, home service platforms, advertising, etc. You can also attract word of mouth by providing high-quality services.
In addition, it is necessary to establish a clear service process and quality management system to ensure the provision of high-quality services. It is necessary to formulate service standards, train employees, establish a complaint handling mechanism, etc.
In conclusion, opening a housekeeping company requires many factors to be considered, patience and continuous effort. If you can develop a sound business plan, actively manage the company, provide high-quality services, and build a good reputation, then your housekeeping company will be successful.”
Chen Wensheng looked at his girlfriend with admiration and said in shock: "Dear, you are just a physical education teacher and have never done business. Why do you know so much? Is this the difference between college students and high school students?"
Wang Xiumei chuckled and said, "You think too much. This is not the difference between college students and high school students. The reason why I know so much about the housekeeping service industry is because I once thought about quitting my job and opening a housekeeping service company, and I put a lot of effort into it."
Chen Wensheng suddenly realized, "I see. Then why didn't you quit your job to do this? I think with your ability, if you really quit your job to do this, you would have already made a name for yourself!"
Wang Xiumei said: "The main reason why I chose to give up was that I didn't dare to take the risk, because opening a housekeeping service company, even if it is only a small scale, requires an investment of more than 100,000 yuan.
This amount of money may be easy for your family to come up with, but for our family, it would take all our efforts to come up with it. It would be too stressful to start a business with this money. If we fail, we would be ashamed to face our family. So after much thought, we finally gave up the idea of starting a business."
Chen Wensheng felt relieved after hearing this.
He is also from the countryside, so he naturally understands that for most rural families, coming up with more than 100,000 yuan at once is definitely a painful task.
After all, there are only a few rural people who can make as much money as his parents.
It's normal that his girlfriend doesn't have as good conditions as him and doesn't dare to gamble her entire fortune.
