Chapter 202 Paralyzed

When the couple left, Second Sister Gu gave them 200 yuan. She told Xiaomei, "If you two encounter any problems, please discuss it with your sister, brother-in-law, uncle, aunt, and grandma."

Her sister-in-law was right. If there was anything going on, they should talk it out and discuss it together. They couldn't keep it to themselves.

"I know, Mom."

Xiaomei and Zhang Chen boarded the train to the capital, and there was another person going with them, that was Wu Sanfeng.

Her daughter's mother-in-law went home and there was no one to take care of the child, so she had to go over to take care of the child, otherwise it would affect her studies.

After these two years, she found out that it is not easy to get into university. Her daughter had worked so hard to get into university, and she couldn't give up her studies because of her child.

This opportunity is so rare.

So she had to go, even though her eldest daughter-in-law used this as an excuse to divide the family business.

Wu Sanfeng's daughters-in-law were also quite annoyed about this. Even though the second and third daughters-in-law did not say it openly, it did not mean that they had no opinions.

Not only do I have to serve my parents-in-law, I also have to serve my husband's grandmother, not to mention that my husband's grandmother fell and became paralyzed in bed.

Someone needs to take care of their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and this job naturally falls on the shoulders of their daughters-in-law.

The third daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she definitely can't be allowed to do it. The second daughter-in-law did something that the old lady didn't want to be served by, so she went to the eldest daughter-in-law.

So Wu Sanfeng's eldest daughter-in-law was very upset, almost to death, because even her own mother had never served her like this.

So when her mother-in-law was going to the capital to visit her grandson, she proposed to divide the family.

It’s so hard to live, with one generation oppressing another, and the mother-in-law is above the mother-in-law’s mother-in-law.

What a life!

At least after the separation, she doesn't have to take care of her husband's grandmother. Besides, after the separation, all the money earned will belong to their small family.

Chunqing and Shitou have made a lot of money in the past two years by raising chickens and pigs. Although others may not know, Wu Sanfeng, the eldest daughter-in-law, is very greedy.

But because we didn't live together before, no matter how many chickens we raised, the money was shared by everyone.

So she was not willing to have more children.

But it's different when the family splits up. The chickens she raises and the money she earns all belong to their small family.

The eldest daughter-in-law was eager to give it a try and planned to raise fifty chickens first.

Wu Sanfeng was also very troubled by her mother-in-law's paralysis. Old people are different from children. If you serve them in a way that does not satisfy her, she will beat and scold you.

Besides, what is the size of a child and what is the size of an adult.

Children's feces and urine don't stink, but the old people's do. So she would rather go back to Beijing to see her three grandchildren than take care of her mother-in-law.

Wu Sanfeng thought it would be best if her mother-in-law passed away before she returned.

Otherwise, she doesn't want to serve, and would let her three sons do the serving.

Come to think of it, Su He is more fortunate than her. She was taken care of by her mother-in-law when she was young, and her mother-in-law was able to help her open a shop when she was old.

He is a university teacher and she is a babysitter.

well!

This is the fate of man.

I don’t know what kind of luck the second family had. Not only did Su He and Gu Jianhua’s families disappear, but the families of Gu Yuncai and Gu Yunlan also disappeared.

The children went to the capital one after another.

They have all settled down in the capital. Mingyue's family of four actually opened a fruit and vegetable store in the capital, and Xue'er also opened a stationery store. Business is pretty good!

This is incredible.

There is also the couple Su He and Gu Jianhua, who actually opened a bakery and had their parents look after it.

Wu Sanfeng felt that the second branch was having too much luck, with both adults and children making rapid progress.

In their family, her mother-in-law fell and became paralyzed at the beginning of this year. She was usually in good health.

I just fell down, how could I be paralyzed?

The doctor asked her whether some nerve was injured or some nerve was compressed when she fell, but she didn't understand.

It can only be attributed to the fact that people are getting old and their bodies are no longer strong enough.

Gu's mother only learned about Zhang Xiuying's paralysis from Xiaomei and Zhang Chen.

Well, she wasn't very happy when she heard the news. If this happened forty years ago, she might be very happy, after all, she was severely bullied by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law at that time.

But ever since her son joined the army and married his daughter-in-law, her reputation has been raised by these two children. She is better than Zhang Xiuying in every way. Later on, they are not even in the same league.

So I just sighed a few times and didn't say anything funny.

Su's mother, an outsider, was curious and asked, "Your sister-in-law is paralyzed, and her daughter-in-law has come to Beijing. Who will take care of her? The grandson's wife?"

Xiaomei, "That's right, Grandma Su, it's my cousins ​​who are taking care of her."

I heard from her mother that her cousins-in-law were not very willing to take care of her and kept shirking the responsibility.

A paralyzed person cannot control his own movements. Eating is a minor problem, the most important issue is defecation and urination. Her second great uncle is also old and cannot do it by himself, so he has to ask others to help.

People urinate at least five or six times a day, so they need to change their pants five or six times.

The pants I took off need to be washed, which is also a problem.

Su's mother said, "Oh, we should pay more attention to our health when we get old."

Gu's mother was also a little scared. "Yes, yes, yes, let's let Jianhua open this store next year."

If an elderly person falls or bumps into something, it is best if they are not injured. However, if they are injured, they are doomed, with minor injuries ranging from fractures to paralysis.

Moreover, when people get old, they are like machines. Their parts also age, and they cannot recover as quickly as young people. Young people will be fine after a fracture in a hundred days, but old people will have to stay in bed for half a year.

How uncomfortable it is, someone needs to serve you when you eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

Gu's mother thought that it would be better to die than to live such a undignified life, but people are afraid of death, so she was just talking.

Zhang Chen also said, "I heard that several cousins ​​and their wives have split up because of this."

Mother Gu said, "It's hard not to split up the family. Wu Sanfeng doesn't even take care of her own mother-in-law, but she wants her daughters-in-law to do it. How ridiculous."

To be honest, her sister-in-law was very nice to Wu Sanfeng, her daughter-in-law.

But when something happens, the daughter-in-law doesn't care anymore and orders her three daughters-in-law to do things. Who would be willing to serve people in eating, drinking, defecating and urinating?

If it were her, she wouldn't be willing to do it either.

Gu's mother thought that when she died, it would be best for her to sleep and not wake up, so that she would not get sick or have any other illness, which would torment her body and mind, and also torment her children.

After chatting about my hometown for a while, I talked about Zhang Chen selling buns.

"When are you planning to sell it? Why not wait for a couple of days to get familiar with the environment?" asked Gu's mother.

Xiaomei shook her head, "No need, grandma, I'll take Zhang Chen out for a walk this afternoon and start selling tomorrow."

"I'm not on vacation now, so I'll help him sell."

Zhang Chen is not very familiar with the surroundings, but she is!

Mother Gu asked, "You guys have been driving for several days and didn't you take a break?"

"No need, grandma. I'm not tired." Zhang Chen shook his head.

He can't sleep until Baozi's matter is resolved.

Mother Gu said, "It's up to you. You can buy the seasonings today. It's best to buy the meat at the market tomorrow morning. It's fresh."

"Then go with your grandma and grandpa Su."

Of the four of them, Su's father and Gu's father would usually go to the market together in the morning. As a chef, Su's father had to select the ingredients himself, but since he couldn't carry it alone, he asked Gu's father to go with him.

"Yeah, I got it, grandma."

After the couple finished eating the pancakes, they went upstairs to sort out the luggage they had brought. Su He bought two beds on the second floor for the elders to rest.

But it is not usually used because the work starts at 11 o'clock and ends at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then the shop closes in another four hours.

"Is there a bed?" Zhang Chen thought he was going to sleep on the floor.

Xiaomei, "My aunt bought this for grandma and the others to rest. Let's put the beds together."

Zhang Chen, "We sleep together? Then where do grandma and the others rest?"

Xiaomei said, "They don't have a break at noon, and my aunt told us to use it. Hurry and move the bed over."

"Oh ok."

The couple put the beds together, put mattresses, quilts and pillows on them, and a double bed was ready.

Xiaomei muttered, "It's good to live in a bakery. Except for not being able to use the restroom, everything else is quite convenient."

"The sleeping area is spacious."

Her elder sister knew that Zhang Chen was coming this year, and told her that they could stay at her house, but they had to sleep in the living room because there were not enough rooms.

Besides, her eldest sister has two children, so it is inconvenient for them to live together.

It's more comfortable to live in a pie shop.

Once the store closed, there were only two of them left, it was so quiet.

The couple didn't take a rest after they finished cleaning up. They carried their things to Su He's place. Su He didn't go to the bakery today because she had her period. Although it didn't hurt, she still felt uncomfortable.

Su He, "Come on, you two. There's a young wife next door who makes 100 yuan a month by selling steamed buns."

Zhang Chen: "That's not bad." An income of one hundred yuan a month is not bad, which means about one thousand yuan a year.

His monthly salary in the commune was not high, less than thirty yuan.

If he could earn 100 yuan a month by selling buns, he would be satisfied.

Xiaomei, "Let's work hard too. We will try to earn 150 yuan a month."

At this moment, Xiaomei couldn't wait to make dough, chop stuffing, and sell buns to make money.

They also want to earn 100 yuan a month!

After leaving Su He's house, the couple took a walk outside and then went to the vegetable market.

Buy some seasonings, such as salt, soy sauce, and soybean paste.

After discussing it, they decided to make 50 braised pork buns and sell them tomorrow. If many people buy them and the business is good, they will make more the next day.

In the evening, Zhang Chen specially made some braised pork buns and asked everyone to give him their opinions.

I don't have any comments to make. The buns made by Zhang Chen are indeed delicious. There is enough oil in the buns and they taste especially fragrant.

Father Su raised his thumb and said, "Xiao Zhang, just sell your buns with confidence. Your customers will definitely like them."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Master Su, I feel much more at ease with your words."

Some people need to work hard, while others are the chosen ones.

Qian Sui'er was hit when she was selling things but then she got back on her feet, while Zhang Chen, who was selling steamed buns, had no idea what a hit was.

The next day.

He and Xiaomei went out with a pot of buns, feeling nervous.

Zhang Chen was a little nervous and didn't dare to shout, but Xiaomei was not afraid and directly asked the grandfather and mother who were passing by.

"Master, would you like to buy some buns? The braised pork buns are really delicious. If they don't taste good, I won't charge you for them!"

"Why don't you try it first?"

When the grandfather was returning home from morning exercise, he met a girl selling buns. He didn't want to buy any, but the girl let him try one first.

He tasted it and found that the bun was really delicious!

Bought ten on the spot.

What do you call this? A good start. With a successful case, Xiaomei became more proactive and bolder in asking passers-by.

The result was that all fifty buns were sold out in less than half an hour.

Some customers even asked, "You will still be selling tomorrow, right? Come over tomorrow too!"

One bun costs three cents, and fifty buns cost one dollar and fifty cents.

Xiaomei was excited, "Zhang Chen, let's make a hundred buns tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, I'll pack a hundred."

Customers can tell whether something is delicious just by eating it. Zhang Chen’s buns are delicious and made with good ingredients. Customers will buy them again next time.

On the first day, fifty buns were sold out. On the second day, one hundred buns were also sold out. On the third day, one hundred and fifty buns were made and sold out as well.

Xiaomei boldly asked Zhang Chen to pack 200 of them. They could be sold out in one morning, but it would be a bit tiring because they had to walk a long way.

But if you sell 200 buns, you can earn six yuan!

Six dollars a day, that's 180 dollars a month. People are greedy. Originally, the couple thought that it would be good to have an income of 100 dollars a month.

But if you can earn 180 yuan a month, why not? It's just a little tiring, which is nothing.

But carrying the pot around like this is not a good idea, I need to get a tricycle to sell it.

The savings from these years plus the money from Second Sister Gu amounted to about a thousand yuan. Since the steamed bun business was so good, he didn't feel bad about spending the hundred yuan and just bought a new tricycle.

With the tricycle, selling buns becomes more convenient. Xiaomei no longer has to go out with Zhang Chen and can take a nap.

The couple sells buns in the morning and helps out in the bakery the rest of the time.

Aunt Su He would not let their help go in vain and planned to pay Zhang Chen 15 yuan a month.

But the couple said no.

Xiaomei said, "Aunt, you don't have to give us money. We live and eat at the bakery. You didn't ask us for money, so why should you give us money? We should be the ones to give."

Zhang Chen: "Aunt, you don't have to give it to us, and we didn't do much work."

During the busy lunch period, I just serve dishes and pastries, and clear the tables, which are easy tasks.

Su He said, "Take it, both of you. This way your monthly income will be two hundred."

Ever since Zhang Chen came to the store, he has been doing all the heavy and dirty work, like emptying the swill and moving things up and down, and he is very diligent.

Besides, the couple works for her, so she should at least give them some salary.

Hearing Su He say this, the couple were moved again.

They think their aunt is such a nice person.

It’s not that the couple worked well before they got the salary, but since they got the salary, they have worked even harder.

The summer vacation passed quickly, school started again, and Su He returned to his working life.

Except for the first and second months, the bakery's turnover was basically set at more than 300 yuan.

Su He originally planned to buy a second and third shop. After June, he told Han Jiajia about it and asked her to keep an eye out for them.

In October, we found a suitable shop.

It's a storefront with two shops right next to each other.

"Teacher Su, what kind of business do you plan to do with this shop?"

Han Jiajia also admires Su He. She just bought a shop last year and is planning to buy the second and third one this year.

"Look, I want to open a clothing store and see what the market will be like next year."

She had read the history of clothing evolution in a book she bought from the system mall.

This year, people's clothing has not changed much from the previous two years, but it will be different starting next year. After the reform and opening up, the domestic situation has changed more and more every year.
