Chapter 231 Returning Home for the New Year
In fact, if it were an ordinary person, if the daughter-in-law had a job, this would have happened long ago. But the man in her family is too stubborn to think that a grown man cannot be supported by a woman.
But now, Sister Su's clothing store is short of staff, so he comes to work. They both have jobs, and the situation is different.
Besides, to be honest, this way she will have less pressure. Otherwise, as she is the only one in the family, she would be more or less under some pressure.
Wei Lan took a week off, and Su He happened to be on vacation, so there was no need to transfer anyone from the clothing store to look after the store. She could just do it.
The tobacco, alcohol and tea shop made a lot of money. In just three months, October, November and December, the net profit added up to nearly 7,000 yuan.
Su He sighed that there are still many rich people in this world. Customers who come to this store to buy things, such as cigarettes and alcohol, buy them by the carton or by the box.
The same goes for tea. The tea sold in her shop is relatively expensive, but there is still no shortage of people buying it.
However, tobacco, alcohol and tea shops do make money, but the costs are also high. But that's how business is done: make money, buy goods, sell them, and then buy more.
Having opened several stores this year, Suho has figured out some tricks.
They bought their first shop in 1979, the second and third in 1980, and the fourth and fifth in 1981.
Next year, I will continue to do well and buy two more shops.
It is January now, and the New Year of 1982 is on the 25th.
The Chinese New Year is coming again. This year, our parents have a different idea about taking care of us. They want to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.
The death of Zhang Xiuying this year served as a wake-up call to Gu’s mother. It was not that she was dying, but that her two brothers were both in their seventies and eighties.
He might pass away one day, and Gu's mother wanted to go and see him while she was still able to walk.
Another thing she wanted to show off to the women in the village. If she didn't go back, how could she tell them what she had seen and heard in Jing City and Dahai City?
In addition to Zhang Xiuying, her old enemy, Gu's mother also had bad relationships with several other women when she was young. For the same reason, those women laughed at her for not having a son.
Although so many years have passed, they have let go of what they should let go of and let go of what they should let go of, and these years have also slapped them in the face.
But this did not stop her from wanting to go back and show off to them.
If she didn't go back, how would they know whether she was living well in Beijing, so she wanted to go back and talk about it while she was still able to move around.
After being mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for twenty years, Gu's mother and Su He have a close relationship like mother and daughter. Gu's mother does not hide anything in her mind and tells Su He everything.
Su He felt a little helpless about the old lady's idea, but he understood it very well.
She said, "Then let me tell my second sister first."
The two houses in my hometown are being looked after by my second sister and her family. If they want to go back, it will be fine in the summer, but they will have to make a fire in advance to prepare for the winter.
"Okay, talk to your second sister."
When Gu's parents returned to their hometown, Su He and Gu Jianhua must accompany them. Su He asked her parents, and after hearing what they heard, Su's father and mother also wanted to go back.
The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh. The third and fourth brothers are both in Beijing. I see the fourth brother every day, and I see the third brother every now and then.
The eldest brother has a special job and I can’t see him for a while, and I haven’t seen the second brother for two years.
Su's father and mother missed them very much, and since their in-laws wanted to go back, they might as well go back with them.
All the adults have to go back home to celebrate the New Year.
So I asked four kids.
Changyi and Changan went back with them.
The two younger ones didn’t really want to go back.
Changjun said, "Mom, you promised us to go to Ice City in the summer. When are we going?"
Chang Huan, "Yes, we are on vacation now, mom, are you not going to take us with you?"
The two kids have been thinking about this matter all the time, especially after winter, when they bring it up every now and then.
"Go ahead. Wait until your Aunt Wei comes back. We can still make it. Today is only the 2nd. Your Aunt Wei will be back on the 10th. We can go and play for a week. There is still one week before the Chinese New Year."
Su He did not forget this and kept it in mind. She wanted to wait for Wei Lan to come back and arrange her husband's work before going.
When Su's father heard this, he said, "Why don't you take the third and fourth children to the Ice City to play first?"
Su's mother also said, "Yes, you guys go play for a week now and come back on the 10th, it's just a matter of one or two days. As for work, you can talk to Changyi and Changan and let them arrange it!"
Su He, "It's mainly because the tobacco and liquor store needs someone to look after it, and since it's almost the New Year, there are a lot of people in the stores, and I'm afraid you guys won't be able to handle it."
As the New Year is approaching, clothing stores, jewelry stores, tobacco, alcohol and tea shops are getting more and more crowded day by day.
If she leaves, the tobacco shop will have to be looked after by Changyi or Changan, and the pancake shop has many customers every day.
She thought that since Wei Lan was back, she would let the couple take care of the tobacco shop first, and since Chang Yi and Chang An would help with the pie shop, the four elders would be able to relax.
