Chapter 190 Zhou Yinghuai is troubled
Su He continued, "I'm thinking of letting my parents run the business first. Even if the business is not good, we are all family members and won't lose too much."
"Otherwise, hire a professional chef. If the business is good, I won't say anything, but if the business is bad, won't you lose a lot of money? The main thing is that the shop is really not big, it's just a small shop."
"Okay, my parents, uncle and aunt are all in good health, let them go."
"It won't be too late to hire someone when business picks up."
Second Sister Gu felt that Su He had considered everything very carefully, and indeed he had. The hotel was decorated, the chef was hired, and everything was in place. However, if the business was not good after it opened, wouldn't that mean they would lose a lot of money?
At least the labor costs can be saved by letting my parents go there.
Besides, my parents are free when they go to the capital, so it would be great if I could open a restaurant and make money, at least I could earn enough to pay for the rent.
I heard from Mingyue that Xiao He Jianhua rented a large courtyard in the capital specifically for his parents to live in.
As the second daughter, she doesn't have the ability to ask her parents to go to the capital to live in retirement, so it would be best if she could take her younger brother and sister with her for now.
Su He said, "Yes, second sister, that's what I thought. I thought the store would be empty anyway, so why not let my parents run it?"
Second Sister Gu smiled and said, "During the summer vacation, Xiaomei wanted Zhang Chen to go over there to sell buns, but he didn't go in the end."
Among the children who went to study in the capital, only Xiaomei and Zhang Chen were separated in two places, while the rest were reunited with their families.
"The couple discussed it and decided that it was not realistic for Zhang Chen to quit his job and go to the capital to sell steamed buns. Zhang Chen would have no place to live in the capital, so he would have to rent a house. The rent in the capital is not cheap, more than ten yuan a month. And it was still unknown whether the steamed buns could be sold. They did not dare to take the risk."
Su He nodded and understood Zhang Chen and Xiaomei very well. "But Zhang Chen can go this year. Our shop has an attic. He can sleep in the attic at night and doesn't need to rent a house."
"When Xiaomei graduates and starts working, she'll be allocated a house. It'll only be two to three years."
Hearing this, Second Sister Gu smiled and said, "Xiao He, let me thank you on behalf of Xiao Mei and her husband."
Second Sister Gu had felt more than once that her younger siblings were broad-minded. Unless it was a particularly big deal, they didn't care much.
Recalling that when she had given birth and was in confinement, she ate chicken. Her mother sent her several chickens, along with butter and other things, and her siblings didn't say a word.
And there are all kinds of things that happened later.
She found that her brother and sister never seemed to care about those things. If it were someone else, they would have thought about it a long time ago. After all, there were more than just their family in the capital. Xiaomei's sister and her family were also in the capital.
Logically, it is Mingyue who takes care of me, and it is Mingyue's house where I live.
But my sister-in-law talked about her shop first.
Su He waved his hand nonchalantly, "What are you thanking me for?" Then he asked, "Are the buns Zhang Chen made good? Are they delicious?"
"The Red Army said it was OK."
Second sister Gu has never eaten the buns made by the third son-in-law, but her fourth sister has lunch with her third brother-in-law every day at noon and told her that his brother-in-law is a good cook.
It’s delicious, better than what she cooks.
Su He heard this and said, "You can try selling it in the capital. I haven't seen any buns for sale yet, but your buns are delicious, so there will definitely be people who will buy them."
In the past two years, people's economic level is different from that of ten years ago and has improved.
Sister Gu said, "I'm thinking about the meat filling in the white bread. Even if it's bad, how bad can it be?"
As for meat and fine grains, Sister Gu felt that even if the cook added a lot of salt or something, these two things would not taste too bad.
Su He thought so too. She thought that white bread, meat and grains could not be that unpalatable.
"That's right, they're all fun."
Second Sister Gu said, "They didn't mention this when they came back this year. I'll mention it to them when they come back in two days. If they want to go, they can go. If they don't want to, forget it and wait until Xiaomei graduates."
It doesn’t take long, just two more years, it will be over if we just persevere.
For example, after this year, there is still one year left. It’s hard to say what the last year will be like, it will just pass by.
"OK."
Su He chatted with Second Sister Gu for a while, and seeing that it was still early, she went to Chun Qing's house.
Chunqing was very surprised to see her, and immediately put down the sweater she was knitting, "Aunt, when will you guys come over?"
"Arrived yesterday."
Bai Shitou was lying on the kang. When he saw Su He come in, he immediately stood up to make tea for him. Su He waved his hand and said, "Shitou, stop working. I just had a few cups of tea at your mother-in-law's house. I'm still tired."
But the white stone was still brewed by Su He.
When guests come to your home, making hot tea is the most basic etiquette.
Chunqing also took out orange, apple, milk tofu and other treats from the cupboard.
"Have you sold all the chickens and ducks? Why can't I see them?" Su He asked after taking a sip of hot tea.
I used to raise it in the front yard, but I didn't see it when I came in just now.
Chunqing peeled an orange for Su He, "Well, I sold everything to my aunt, and only kept a few old hens. I kept them in the backyard."
Hearing this, Su He smiled and said, "Then you must have made a lot of money this year."
The couple smiled innocently, "It's not a lot, just about a thousand yuan."
Su He was shocked when he heard this. "You two are so stupid. How can a rural person make 1,000 yuan a year? No, even in the capital, it's very little."
Gu's mother told her that Chunqing and Shitou had raised more than 400 chickens and ducks this year just as they had said last year, and then they sold them all one after another.
If one costs five dollars, four hundred would cost two thousand dollars, not counting the eggs they lay.
Of course, we have to consider the cost of raising chickens, but no matter how high the cost is, it will not exceed five hundred.
The young couple earned at least fifteen hundred this year.
It’s really awesome.
Su He, "Are you still planning to raise chickens next year?"
Chunqing and Bai Shitou said, "Yes, but next year we plan to raise some pigs along with chickens."
I don’t plan to raise cows anymore, so I’ll just raise chickens and pigs, and farm.
When the land was distributed this year, their family of four received nearly 60 acres of land.
The couple will do this well.
Su He said, "Okay, but you have to pay attention to the hygiene of the chicken and pig pens at all times. You have to disinfect them more often. Pigs still need to be vaccinated. Don't save the money."
These animals are raised in large numbers and will get sick if hygiene is not maintained. If one gets sick, the whole group will be unable to escape and will all be infected and die.
Bai Shitou said, "Yes, aunt, we are keeping an eye on it."
These are the couple's assets, they will not neglect them and must take good care of them.
This year, he cleaned the chicken coop twice a day, no matter what time it was. He got up at four in the morning to clean it, and then sprinkled lime on it. Then he came back from working in the fields in the evening, cleaned it again, and sprinkled lime on it.
The same goes for the pigs. The pig pens are kept very clean, and their poop is cleaned and disinfected every day.
Su He said, "Okay, that's what we should do. You two should work hard. I estimate that in a few years you two will become millionaires."
The book did not elaborate on whether Chunqing's husband in her previous life was Bai Shitou. It simply said that the couple had no great prospects and were just farming in the countryside.
Su He felt that if they continued on this path, the couple would become a millionaire in just a few years.
And they are not just farming peacefully. They earn more than a thousand yuan a year just by raising chickens. This is more than what the workers in the city earn.
But never mind her, in this life, all of them are different from those in the book, even the male and female protagonists.
Hey, they got together early and now they have a baby.
Su He sincerely wishes them a long and happy life together.
I don’t know if they can live together forever, but couples are bound to quarrel, especially in Gu Li and Zhou Yinghuai’s current situation.
His wife gave birth to three sons for him. Zhou Yinghuai was very happy at first. Although he had no house and little money in the capital, these were not problems. He just had to suffer for two years.
It's the same thing. He is a student of Peking University and his wife is also a student of Peking University. After graduation, they have jobs and a house and money.
Zhou Yinghuai even thought it was a good idea for them to have children now while they were in college, because by the time they graduated and started working, the children would be in kindergarten.
Otherwise, after graduation and work, someone will have to stay at home to take care of the children.
So this is clearly the best of both worlds.
It's just that he's been a little annoyed lately. He's annoyed with his mother-in-law, who talks too much and never stops. He's also annoyed with his three children, who cry all day long. One cries and then another cries, one after another, and sometimes all three cry at the same time.
He was so upset from crying that he couldn't even sleep well.
He had never thought that children could be so troublesome or that raising a child could be so difficult.
He felt overwhelmed.
And his wife Gu Li asks him whether he loves it or not all day long.
He couldn't understand it. They were married and had a child, but he still asked this question. How could he sleep with her if he didn't love her?
Can marry her
Don't you have any other questions? You keep asking this all day.
The question annoys him.
The most important thing is his mother-in-law. She is too nagging and can nag for days about a trivial matter.
For example, last time, he used water that was a little hotter than usual to mix milk powder for his child, and his mother-in-law kept talking about this for several days.
He felt that it was unnecessary, he knew he was wrong and he would pay attention next time. It was enough to say it once, why keep saying it.
Zhou Yinghuai was looking forward to school starting soon so that he wouldn't have to stay here anymore.
Wu Sanfeng was also speechless about his daughter and son-in-law.
From the time Gu Li gave birth to the baby, to now, the child is already 100 days old.
The three little grandchildren have grown from being tiny little kids to the big babies they are now.
In other words, I finally look like a human being.
The child will laugh and talk to you in babbling voice.
While Wu Sanfeng was happy, she also felt exhausted. From the time her daughter gave birth to now, three months later, she had never slept a full night's sleep.
To be honest, I basically wake up once every two hours at night to feed three babies. My daughter doesn't have enough milk, so I just feed them all with formula.
Her daughter and son-in-law sleep in one room, and she and her three little grandchildren sleep in another room.
Her daughter didn't breastfeed, and she felt sorry for her, so she came alone to make milk and change diapers at night.
It's okay for a day or two, but no one can stand it for three months straight.
Wu Sanfeng felt that she was about to die. She had never been so tired even when working in the fields.
