Chapter 236 Time Flows Like Water

After Jiang Yueying heard what her mother said, the imbalance in her heart completely disappeared.

She apologized, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong."

Jiang's mother shook her head. "It's not your fault. I thought before that since you don't have to spend money on food and lodging, five yuan a month is enough. I forgot that you've grown up and it's time to dress up."

"I'll give you twenty dollars to save as your dowry, and you can spend the ten dollars on buying some nice clothes or something."

"Yeah." Jiang Yueying nodded.

Mother Jiang looked at the two children and continued, "You two are siblings, born of the same parents. Yueying, you only have one brother, Siqi, in this world, and Siqi, you also only have one sister."

"Yueying, you are going to get married in the future. If your in-laws bully you, your brother will be the first one to come to you to support you. The same is true for Siqi. If she encounters difficulties in the future, she will definitely look for you first. After all, you are the only sister in the world."

"You two should help each other in the future..."

After Jiang's mother's nagging, Jiang Yueying now realized what she had been thinking before. Parents are all made of flesh and blood, and there is no parent who does not love their children.

She used to do more housework at home, but if there was anything heavy, her brother had to move it!

It's just that the division of labor is different due to the difference in physical strength between men and women.

Her parents never treated her badly in terms of food and drink. Her brother ate meat, and she also ate meat!

She really judges others by her own mean standards.

Thinking back, it was the same at Xu Ying's house. Xu Ying was the one doing all the housework since she was a child. Isn't she the same?

After Jiang's mother finished speaking, she looked at her daughter's expression and knew that she was no longer thinking about those trivial things.

She said, "What Yueying's mother just told you was a joke, asking you to find a partner with your boss's son, but I'm telling you the truth. When we get married in the future, we must marry a young man from a wealthy family."

"Like your brother said just now, your boss looks much younger than mom. That's because your family is rich and you don't have to worry about anything. Otherwise, if you go to a poor family, you will just have to work hard."

Jiang Yueying nodded, "Mom, I understand."

It would have been better if she didn't mention it, but as soon as she mentioned the boss's eldest son Gu Changan, the smiling face appeared in Jiang Yue's mind again.

How strange...

That night Jiang Yueying had a dream about Gu Changan...

After closing the store, the Su He family counted the money earned by several stores in January.

Although several stores were only open for 20 days in January, their sales were almost the same as the previous month because many people were buying things as the New Year was approaching.

The combined net profit of these stores exceeds 10,000 yuan a month.

In their time, earning 10,000 a month was a lot, but people are greedy. In the past, Gu Jianhua and his wife from Suhe thought that if they opened a shop, let's take a bakery for example, they could make 100 a month, which would be good.

Later I wanted to earn three hundred, five hundred, one thousand, two thousand, and more and more.

Now Su He is thinking, "Jianhua, when we open a store in the future, if we take the monthly turnover of all the stores and deduct the cost, we can make 50,000 a month."

"I'll be satisfied if I can earn 50,000 yuan."

Gu Jianhua, "Then we need to open a few more shops."

Gu Jianhua was not that interested in the business before. He thought it was not bad to run a pancake shop, which also made a lot of money.

But after seeing his daughter-in-law open one shop after another this year, he felt that opening a shop and doing business was really good!

Earning 10,000 yuan a month was something he would never have dared to dream of in the past.

And now he has done it, and he found that he was making more money and seemed to be bolder. He opened a bakery two years ago. Although his father-in-law, mother-in-law and parents were in charge of it at that time, he was afraid that he would not be able to run it.

I was afraid of losing money, after all, I spent nearly three thousand dollars to buy that shop.

If I couldn't open the shop, what would I do in the future? I was terrified for a day, but fortunately the business of the bakery was good on the first day, and it got better and better afterwards.

Needless to say, the several stores opened by his wife afterwards were the best businesses in the whole Beijing city, except for the department stores.

Now that we have these few companies to support us, we don’t have to worry even if the business is not good when we open stores in the future. At worst, we can just close the store and rent it out to others.

So he was very courageous. He thought it was because of money. His family had enough money to support them in opening a shop and starting a business without worrying about bad business.

If the couple had no money, he probably would not have changed his career and would have stayed in the Public Security Bureau until retirement.

"Of course. When I get back from my hometown, I'll go to the Housing Authority to see if there's a suitable shop. If there is, I'll buy it."

Gu Jianhua, "Okay, leave 10,000 yuan for your family, and use the rest to buy a shop."

Su He said, "How can we use so much? Let's buy from each store. I will think about the next store to do business with."

"What are you two thinking about?"

However, the couple didn't figure it out that night and fell asleep directly because they were too tired.

Early the next morning.

Su He, Gu Jianhua, Chang Yi and Chang An's family of four packed their luggage and came directly to the courtyard.

Had breakfast with everyone.

After helping Gu's father and his family pack their luggage, they handed the courtyard over to Zhang Ning and Qingmu, and then went to the train station.

"Aunt, I don't know why, but I feel like I'm returning home in glory." Hongjun was wearing the latest clothes from the clothing store, his hair was styled, and he had a scarf around his neck.

He feels like he is something, how do I put it, oh, now I remember it’s called trend.

I am very fashionable.

He thought that if he returned to the village like this, it would shock everyone in the village, including his colleagues in the commune.

Haha, the Red Army feels great.

Su He smiled, "You have returned home in splendor. Your attire is very fashionable not only in the village but also in Beijing."

Although the country has undergone reform and opening up, people's clothing is different from before, but it's still okay. The changes are not that big, and the changes are gradual and conservative.

But there were also a few young girls and boys who dressed very boldly and exaggeratedly.

When she was watching the shop in the hotel, a girl came over to buy something. Her hair was curled and she had bright red lips, which was quite visually impactful.

Su He thinks it is very beautiful and young people should try it more often.

She would like to try it, but as a teacher, this idea can only be thought about and cannot be put into practice.

"Hehe, I'm going to go back and shock them." Hongjun snorted.

Hongjun thought that if he brought Yingzi back with him, it would shock them even more, but he didn't tell Yingzi because he felt that since they were not married yet, or it was time to get married, it would be inappropriate to bring someone else's girl home.

You can take it back when you get married.

Mingyue Xueer and the others did not go with them and returned a few days ago.

The group arrived at the train station, bought tickets and boarded the train.

Because the Red Army's attire was so eye-catching, many people on the train looked at him and some even talked to him.

"Hey boy, your clothes are so nice. Where did you buy them from?"

"Kyoto."

"Oh no wonder..."

The Red Army should not be too complacent along the way.

On the morning of the 22nd, the group arrived in the city of Meng Province and then took a bus to their county.

They were picked up by my second brother and his wife.

Pei Chu smiled and said, "Your second brother and I were calculating the time. We heard that you will be here soon."

"Oh my, you have changed a lot in the past few years in Beijing. Dad, mom, uncle, aunt, how come you are all so white?"

"Jianhua, you've become so strong!"

"Changyi and Changan, you two have grown up into adults now."

Su Xiao looked for a long time, but didn't see the two children, so he asked,

"Where are Changjun and Changhuan? They haven't come back yet?"

Su He shook his head, "They said they didn't want to come back, so they sent me to my third brother's house."

The two of them wanted to watch TV and play with Cheng Wang and the others.

Besides, my third brother’s house has a lot of new and fresh things from abroad or other places.

Su Xiao: "These two kids."

The group walked and talked as they went to Pei's house.

Everyone had been together for several years and had a lot to talk about. Several elders were chatting together, Su He and Gu Jianhua were chatting with their second brother and his wife, and Chang Yi and Chang An were chatting with Xing Ran.

Changan asked, "Xingran, you graduated today, right?"

Xing Ran, "I've graduated, but I have to go to graduate school, which will take a few more years."

“We also study for graduate school.”

"Anyway, we are not very old. We will only be 22 or 23 years old after completing graduate school," said Xingran.

Changyi and Changan agreed. The brother and sister were very grateful to their parents. If their parents had not sent them to school early, they would have been the same as their classmates in school.

Especially this class, there are people of all ages.

Changan asked with a smile, "Xingran, do you have a partner?"

It was just a casual question, but Xingran stopped talking.

"You have it?" the two kids asked.

Xing Ran touched his nose and said, "I talked about one."

"Where are you from? From Haishi?"

My cousin is studying in Haishi.

Xingran nodded, "Yes, my classmate."

The two kids were curious, "Do you have a photo? Is he good-looking? What's his major?"

Xing Ran: "Like me, law."

"You two come with me, the photo is in the bedroom."

The two kids looked at each other, and Changan said, "Good boy, there really are photos."

Chang Yi, "How normal."

Changan looked at him directly and asked, "You brought it too."

Chang Yi said, "It was stuck in the book. I didn't bring it with me on purpose."

Changan: "I don't believe it."

The two of them followed Xingran to the bedroom. Perhaps the photo was suitable to be tucked inside a book, so Xingran also tucked it inside a book.

"look."

"Is she pretty?"

Xingran showed the photos to her family. Her mother and grandmother said the boy was fine, and her father and grandmother said he was okay.

Her brother said, "Brother is so handsome."

Chang Yi finished reading it and said, "It's good."

Changan, "Indeed, it's true. What's his name?"

"Xu Jianian."

“It’s a nice name, too.”

"Xingran, do you want to show it to your grandpa and aunt?"

It is about Su's father and mother, Su He and Gu Jianhua.

Xing Ran, "I'm sorry."

Show everyone a photo of the subject.

Changan, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We have not only seen photos of my sister's boyfriend, but we have also met him in person."

"Ah, Sister Changyi, are you dating someone too?"

"She's been dating for a long time." Chang'an said.

"Are there any photos? I want to see them." Xingran asked curiously.

In the living room, a few elders were talking about the children.

Su Xiao said, "Xingran is also studying for a master's degree, and it's good to study for a master's degree. They are not that old either."

Women tend to pay more attention to details, so Pei Chuwei asked Su He, "Hey, Xiao He, have Chang Yi and Chang An found a date? My Xing Ran has found one."

"Changan doesn't know, Changyi talked about it."

"It's been a long talk. Have you met her partner?"

"I have met him before. We are very familiar with each other. He is Hong Xing's brother-in-law."

"Two of us are professionals."

Hongxing's second brother and second sister-in-law know him. His father works in the factory. "How is the young man?"

Su He: "I think it's pretty good."

"Are there any photos? Xingran brought the photos, I'll ask her to show them to you."

A few leftover kids were looking at each other when they heard their elders calling them. When they went over to ask, they found out that they were looking at photos of their future sons-in-law.

So the photo of Han Shuyan and Xu Jianian was circulated among the elders.

All in all, Su Xingran and Gu Changyi are a very capable couple.

I am a college student myself, so I can do it at home.

Xu Jianian has an older sister. Both of her parents work in government departments. Her sister is in the art troupe, and her brother-in-law is in the army.

A perfect match.

We haven't seen each other for a long time and we are all drunk.

When people drink too much, they talk a lot and like to reminisce about the past.

"Xiao He, time has passed so quickly. It feels like I just met your second brother yesterday."

"And the matter about your second brother..."

Su He, "What's the matter?" What did her second brother do?

Pei Chu whispered, "It's about Xu Honglian."

"When I think about it now, I feel that we were both stupid people who were fooled by others."

Pei Chuwei felt that if that incident had not happened and she had really married Chen Aimin, her life would definitely not be as good as it is now.

She heard that Chen Aimin and Xu Honglian got divorced, then got back together, and then got divorced again, just a few years ago.

She felt that for a woman to divorce him twice, Chen Aimin must have a lot of problems.
