Chapter 186 Buying a Shop

Gu Li was not filial, but she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be tired from coming over, and she was not used to being served by her mother-in-law.

During the confinement period, it is better for her mother to take care of the child.

Wu Sanfeng: She is really a good lady.

Wu Sanfeng wanted his daughter to give birth at full term, and Gu Li lived up to her expectations and gave birth in mid-November.

It's almost full term, 37 weeks.

Wu Sanfeng came half a month earlier because she calculated her daughter's due date.

As Su He guessed, Gu Li gave birth to three sons.

Wu Sanfeng told everyone he met that his daughter had given birth prematurely.

No one cares whether the birth is early or not.

Grandma Gu, Ding Xiurong, also came over and was overwhelmed by the sight of her three older grandchildren.

Originally, my son brought his girlfriend back home during the Chinese New Year last year. She was also from Peking University. She was very happy. This girl is also very filial. She brought a lot of things to their house.

She even helped pay for the old man's hospitalization. She had a good impression of Gu Li.

But later she got pregnant.

This made her feel that this girl had no self-respect at all and might have slept with someone else before.

He gritted his teeth and said that his family had no money and could not afford the bride price.

What she thought was that if a son was born, she would help, but if a girl was born, she would not care.

Later she wrote back to say that she was pregnant with triplets, and she thought that at least one of them was a son.

She sewed a lot of diapers, quilts, blankets and other things in her hometown, and did her best as a grandmother.

Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law was so successful and gave birth to three sons.

"Gu Li, you gave birth to three grandsons for our Zhou family. You are a great contributor to our Zhou family." Mother-in-law Ding Xiurong quickly expressed her opinion.

Gu Li and Wu Sanfeng found these words very useful.

"Mom, please give the children some names." Gu Li lay weakly on the bed.

Ding Xiurong waved his hands when he heard this, "I am not as educated as you. You parents should raise the children."

Gu Li, "Then I'll call him Zhou Chen, Zhou Ting, or Zhou Yi."

..........

When Gu Li gave birth to her baby, Su He and Gu Jianhua went to see her symbolically, but Mingyue and Xueer did not go.

Because they were having a baby, no one from the second room came to visit, so it was normal for them not to go.

Gu Li's baby was one month old. Gu Jianhua went but Su He did not. She has been busy looking for houses these days.

Her third sister-in-law, Han Jiajia, found one for her.

Next year will be her 80th birthday. She will first buy a shop and a yard.

"The shop has two floors. You can do business on the first floor and use the second floor as a warehouse or a place to sleep." Han Jiajia introduced it to her as they walked.

Su He, "I'll go take a look and buy it if it looks suitable."

Han Jiajia: "Okay."

The two of us went to see it, and Suho felt pretty good, with spacious spaces both upstairs and downstairs.

Just say that the lease on their house has expired and they can all move into the store since it is close to the school anyway.

"Jia Jia, this is all I have. How much is it?"

Han Jiajia, "Are you sure? Didn't you discuss it with your Jianhua?"

Su He, "Yeah, you're right, I'll bring him over to see you at noon."

"How much is this?"

Han Jiajia, "2800 is a bit expensive, but I negotiated for you and they said it can't be any lower."

"If you don't have enough money, you can borrow from me first."

Su He, "Jia Jia, thank you first, but we have enough money at home. If not, I will borrow from you."

Han Jiajia is really worth making a friend.

"Okay, then give me an answer after you finish reading it at noon."

Su He: “No problem.”

She could have made the decision to buy the shop, but as a family, it would be better for them to discuss the purchase of such big items as a house, a shop, or a car.

At noon, Su He dragged Gu Jianhua over to see it. Gu Jianhua liked it very much and said, "You can marry me."

"How much is this shop?"

Su He, "Jia Jia said 2800."

2800, it is a bit expensive, but it is just a shop, it is definitely more expensive than a residential house.

Gu Jianhua said, "Come on, wife, let's buy it. After we buy the shop, we will still have more than 4,000 yuan in savings, which is enough for us to use."

Su He, "Then I will go to pay the money and transfer the ownership this afternoon."

"Well, we must have some assets in the capital."

Having decided to buy it, Su He took the money and various documents to transfer the ownership in the afternoon.

The book says that the number of shops in the capital will increase dozens or even hundreds of times in the next few decades.

Su He decided to buy two shops every year, at least ten. There were four children in her family, two for each of them, and one for her and Gu Jianhua.

Even if you don't do business in the future, you can still make money by renting it out.

Su He was in a good mood after buying a shop she liked, and she thought it was something that should be celebrated.

Just go to the vegetable market. The vegetable market in the north in winter is not as rich as in summer. In summer, fish and shrimp are all fresh, but in winter they are frozen.

It's frozen hard, the kind that can kill someone with.

Su He bought two hairtail fish, two pounds of shrimp, a lamb chop, a few pounds of pork, and some vegetables.

It's the end of December now and schools are on vacation.

Before cooking, I went to the school to find Changyi and Changan and asked them to come home for dinner.

"Mom, why did you buy so many vegetables today? Is there any happy event in our family?" Changan asked with a smile.

Su He, "Yes, you are right, there is a happy event."

Changan, "What's the good news, Mom?"

Su He: "Guess what."

Changan, "Um...Did Dad get a raise?"

Su He, "No, guess again."

Apart from Chang'an, I can't think of any other happy events in their family.

"Mom, I can't guess. Tell me."

Su He didn't keep silent any more, "I went with your sister Jia Jia to buy a shop this afternoon."

Changan was a little slow to react, "bought a shop"

Su He: “Yeah.”

"Mom, you mean, you bought a shop!" Chang'an finally reacted.

Su He, "Yes, it's near Peking University."

"Where is it, Mom? Take me to see it." Chang'an was eager to see the shop his mother bought.

Su He, "I'll go see her later. Go to Peking University first to pick up your sister."

"How much is that shop, Mom?"

"2800."

Changan, "It's a bit expensive."

Changan was thinking, after his parents bought the shop, would they have any money left? He knew that they had savings, which were quite a lot compared to other families.

The estimate is several thousand.

This can be seen from the fact that their parents do not accept any age-specific money from their children.

But now that I've bought the shop and spent $2,800, I guess there won't be much left in my savings.

Soho, "It's a bit expensive, but the shop is a two-story duplex. The first floor is for business, and the second floor can also be used for living. The space is quite large."

Changan, "Mom, what should we sell in this shop?"

To be honest, Su He hasn't decided what to sell yet.

In her opinion, this kind of duplex shop is best used for catering or selling clothes. If there is no one living upstairs in the catering business, then it can be built on two floors.

If you sell clothes, you can use the upstairs as a warehouse.

All in all this shop is great for anything.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's discuss it together later."

Su He said.

Changan can't think of a good business to do right now, let's discuss it later.

The mother and son went to Peking University to pick up Chang Yi. Chang An said to his sister, "Sister, there is a happy event in our family. Guess what it is."

Chang Yiyu was determined to shock people and asked, "Is our mother pregnant with her third child?"

“Ahem.”

Su He, "Your mother and I are already so old, why do we need a third child? The four of you are enough."

Chang Yi smiled and said, "What kind of happy event is that?"

Chang'an, "We bought a shop in Beijing!"

"That's indeed a happy event." Chang Yi said calmly.

I heard about this from my parents earlier this year.

Su He, "So I bought some meat and vegetables from the market. Let's celebrate together and discuss what kind of business we can do with this shop."

Chang Yi asked, "Mom, what does the shop look like? Where is it?"

Changan replied on behalf of Su He, "Sister, it's near Peking University, it's a duplex with a second floor."
