We simply let them rent a large hill in the suburbs, so they could get some harvest from planting fruit trees and raising chickens and ducks.
The cost of leasing the land is extremely low, which allows them to do it without any burden.
Jiang Dongmei had originally planned to pass the job on to her daughter, but who could have imagined that the college entrance examination would be resumed.
Although Chen Xiaoyun didn't pass the exam this year, her score was barely enough to get into a junior college.
But how could she possibly accept that? Seeing some of her classmates getting into college, they were so excited.
She always felt that she was outdone and was unwilling to accept it.
It just so happened that Chen Xiaowei also failed the exam, so Jiang Dongmei simply forced them to repeat the year for another half a year and take the college entrance examination in the summer of 1977 or 1978.
This time, Chen Xiaoyun was admitted to the university as she wished, and Chen Xiaowei also barely made it to a second-tier university. Both the brother and sister were very happy.
Chen Xiaowei was happy that he finally didn’t have to review anymore. If he continued like this, he would go crazy.
Not to mention getting into a second-tier university, he would even go to a junior college. If he failed to get into a junior college, he would give up. It would be better for him to follow his father to work in a furniture factory. At least it wouldn't be so brain-consuming.
However, the brother and sister's grades were not good enough to get into a university in Beijing, so they had to stay in Northeast China to study. But being closer to home was also a good thing, at least it would be convenient for them to go home.
Jiang Dongmei saw that her retirement was hopeless, and at her age she would have to wait for several more years.
Who would have thought that before Cheng Xiaoyun and others graduated from university, the supply and marketing cooperative where Jiang Dongmei worked was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Society is developing very fast. Small shops and large shopping malls are opening up like snowflakes near the supply and marketing cooperatives. Some are even next to each other or adjacent to each other.
The biggest difference between privately owned shops or shopping malls and state-owned ones is the attitude of the waiters.
The staff of state-owned stores don't care whether anyone comes to buy things or not. They will get paid regardless of whether the goods can be sold or not.
It is also impossible for their wages to increase just because they sell more things, so everyone is not very enthusiastic about the service.
When they are in a bad mood, they will turn their backs on customers. If customers want to buy things, they can only come to state-owned stores. Even if their attitude is bad, they can only endure it and try to please them.
But now another phenomenon has suddenly emerged: the prices are not much different, the variety is even richer, and the service attitude is incredibly friendly. Over time, it will be obvious which one the public will choose.
If the state-owned stores can no longer operate, they will have to close down.
Fortunately, it was a state-owned unit, and those like Jiang Dongmei who had worked there for many years were given early retirement and some financial compensation.
This made Jiang Dongmei feel at a loss. Her iron rice bowl was gone. Although she received a monthly pension, she still felt very uncomfortable.
I complained about this to Jiang Mengxue while on the phone.
Jiang Mengxue's sports allowed her to run a small business on her own. She could also sell small items from the wholesale market. As long as she didn't lose money, she could just treat it as something to do every day.
But Jiang Dongmei felt bad. Her two children had been admitted to university, so how could a mother set up a stall to do business? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for the children?
Although everyone knows that doing business can make money, they still look down on people like this around them.
I feel that doing business is not a serious matter, so it is better to find a serious job in a factory.
Jiang Mengxue really couldn't understand why she had such an idea.
People who do business live a much better life than those who work in factories.
After just a few months, I built a house and bought a TV and a washing machine.
In the 1980s, there were even more people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan.
If I work in a factory and earn only a few dozen yuan a month, how long will it take me to save up ten thousand yuan?
Even if you have such an idea, it will change in a few years at most.
There are many opportunities now, and you can make money no matter what you do.
If several men in the family had not joined the army, Gu Yanchen would have planned to go into politics, and his daughter Gu Cheng'an was determined to become an outstanding diplomat.
In fact, Jiang Mengxue herself was planning to quit her job and go into business, but her family background made her give up this plan.
However, although I can't do anything, I can still invest.
Moreover, as the only person in the family who had no interest in joining the military or politics, Gu Anjin started his own business while still in college.
He knew that the economy in the south was developing rapidly, so he always went there during holidays.
He went home and borrowed some money from Jiang Mengxue, saying that it would be considered as her investment and he would give her dividends when he made money in the future.
Jiang Mengxue naturally supported it, and even gave him a portion of the property that was going to be distributed to him in the future in advance.
Part of it is gold. This gold is made using ancient craftsmanship, and its purity is definitely not as good as later ones. It doesn’t matter if it is used now.
Gu Anjin didn't expect that there were so many good things in the house. He had never seen them at home before, but he didn't hesitate.
He took his things and left that day. Jiang Mengxue didn't care what kind of business he was doing.
As long as he doesn't break the law or do anything that is detrimental to one's virtue, leave everything to him. There's no need to have such a strong desire to control and have to say something about everything.
Children will have their own secrets when they grow up, and there is no need to explain everything to them.
In fact, Jiang Mengxue herself did not have a strong desire to ask further questions. She would just listen when the other party mentioned many things, and she was too lazy to ask if the other party did not say anything.
The other party will always tell her what she needs to know, and there is no need for her to ask if she doesn't need to know.
Of course, apart from funny and lively things, she is usually willing to join in the fun at times like this.
In a few years, everyone seems to have changed a lot.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
