Chapter 219 Died

It's like this every year.

There was no one in the yard. Qingmu, Zhang Ning and Hongjun went to work every day. Little girl Zhao Sitian was bored staying at home during the holiday. She would either go to the pancake shop with Changyi and Changan, or go to the clothing store to stay with her parents.

After get off work, Zhang Ning and Qingmu set up a stall in the square until around 8 or 9 in the evening. They sell both men's and women's clothing, and can sell a lot of clothes in a few hours.

The income from these days of street stalls varies, but it's around 20 yuan a day. Even if business is bad, I can still make 20 yuan a day.

That’s 600 yuan in one month. Zhang Ning feels a little sorry, “I can’t put it up in winter.”

Having tasted the joy of making money, they were not willing to give up easily. If there was no one around after 9pm, they would have wanted to keep going until midnight.

They are not afraid of being tired, they just want to make money!

Aoki: "That's not bad. We can put it on until mid-October, which is about five months."

"If we calculate it as 600 yuan a month, we can earn 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. We have enough money to buy a shop, and this does not include our wages."

"Next year we will buy a shop and open a clothing store."

When the time comes, they will transfer their household registration here, buy a house, and finally take root in Beijing.

Zhang Ning, "We bought the shop before the New Year. What kind of shop do you think we should buy? Should we buy a second floor like a pie shop or a storefront?"

If they buy a shop with a second floor, their family of three can live there, but a shop with a second floor is more expensive than a storefront.

"No, we can just buy a storefront, like my aunt's clothing store. Stores with a second floor are usually used for catering, and we don't need it to sell clothes."

Aoki knew what his wife was thinking. They could buy a house on the second floor and live there, but they would only be living there temporarily and not long term. Besides, they ran a clothing store and it was not like a restaurant where they could decorate and install faucets, so it would not be convenient for them to live there.

So it’s better to buy a storefront and then save money to buy a house.

Zhang Ning thought about it and agreed. "Then should we continue to live in my aunt's house before buying a house?"

She felt embarrassed to stay in someone else's house for a long time.

Aoki: "Well, we'll pay auntie for rent and food expenses when the time comes."

They don't have to pay now because they work in my aunt's clothing store, but next year they will open their own store and will definitely have to pay rent and food expenses.

After coming to Beijing, the food they eat every day is much better than in their hometown. They eat fine grains and meat every day.

Of course, the accommodation was good too. My aunt gave them a fan in their room, which made them feel cool when they slept at night.

"That's for sure."

Zhang Ning felt that it was only her aunt, otherwise what boss would care about the employees' families? Usually, when Changyun and Changhuan had popsicles or other delicious food, her daughter would have a share.

She knew before that her husband's uncle and aunt were very nice. Now that they have been in contact for a long time, Zhang Ning feels even more so. She doesn't know why her sister-in-law said bad things about her aunt before.

And her sister-in-law also said that she was being stingy. Where was she stingy? She only felt that she shouldn't be stingy if people had to give her all the money? I really don't understand their train of thought.

Thinking of his family back home, Zhang Ning said, "We have been in Beijing for more than half a year, and we haven't seen parents write to ask about us."

Although she had no hope for her in-laws, it was just too cold. Wasn't Aoki their son? Their family had been in Beijing for more than half a year, and there was not a single letter from them.

Aoki has long been immune to his parents' favoritism. Among their three children, his parents like his sister the most, followed by his brother, and finally him.

He said, "Don't worry about them, let's just live our own lives."

Speaking of my family, there was no letter from the eldest sister Gu, but there was one from the second sister Gu, asking about how the Red Army was doing in Suzhou and Hohhot.

I came here during the summer vacation, and Su He wrote back.

But not long after, another letter arrived, saying that Zhang Xiuying, also known as Aunt Gu, had passed away.

Su He was quite surprised. Last year, she heard that Aunt Gu was paralyzed and Wu Sanfeng was unwilling to take care of her, so she came directly to Beijing to take care of her grandchildren. She didn't know whether she went back for the New Year, so she probably didn't go back.

She thought Aunt Gu would lie in bed for several years before dying, but she didn't expect that she passed away in just one year.

It seems that the children are not well taken care of.

"Jianhua, your aunt passed away. Do we need to go back?" Su He asked.

Normally, when their aunt passed away, they should go back to attend the funeral, but the relationship between their two families was not that close.

Gu Jianhua shook his head and said, "If I don't go back, I can just ask my second sister to give me a gift at the funeral."

"That's fine."

"You said that since her grandmother passed away, Gu Li should go back, right?" It was not Su He who was questioning, but the girl Gu Li was very different from the image in the book.

"Teacher Su, has a relative of yours passed away?" Aunt Xu was a gossipy person. After hearing them chatting, she came over and asked.

Su He told her the story, and Aunt Xu listened.

"This girl is confused."

Su He, "That's right." She felt that Gu Li was not simply confused, but had lost her mind. She had been reborn, yet she was still doing those things.

She just doesn't believe that there are no other good men in the world besides Zhou Yinghuai?

Aunt Xu, "Then her grandmother has passed away, so she has to go back."

My grandma passed away, so I have to go back and see her.

Su He shook his head, "I'm not sure, but my cousin's wife will definitely go back."

After Aunt Gu passed away, she wrote a letter to Wu Sanfeng and Gu Li from her hometown.

The mother and daughter also received it.

In this situation, they had to go back. Not only Wu Sanfeng, but also Gu Li, Zhou Yinghuai and their family of five had to go back together.

Wu Sanfeng came to Beijing to avoid taking care of her paralyzed mother-in-law. Now that her mother-in-law has passed away, she doesn't have to come anymore.

She told the young couple, "I'm going back this time, so I won't come over. The children are not little anymore, so you two should send them to a nursery."

She is dissatisfied with taking care of her mother-in-law, but taking care of children is not easy either.

Now that her mother-in-law has passed away and her grandchildren have grown up, she can finally enjoy her later years.

Wu Sanfeng felt that she was about the same age as Su He, but neither of them lived as well as Gu's mother.

She has been to the bakery and clothing store owned by Gu Jianhua and his wife in Suhe. A few days ago, she went there for a stroll and heard that a few old men and women went for a stroll in Haishi.

How can people live such a leisurely life and even have time to stroll around the city?
