Chapter 305 Buy a Car

After visiting Su Yue, Lu Qingya, Lu's father and mother, Shen Chaoyang followed Chang'an to the pancake shop.

On the way, Changan explained, "Our family is usually not at home, we stay in the bakery."

"I'll learn more from Auntie later." Shen Chaoyang said with a smile

Changan, "You've asked the right person, my mom. She's even planned what kind of store to open next year."

Shen Chaoyang was curious, "What kind of store?"

“A cafe and a cake shop.”

"Open two?"

Changan, "Yes, my mother opens two stores every year, one in the first half of the year and one in the second half of the year. This year, she opened an eyeglass store in the first half of the year and a grocery store in the second half of the year."

"As for the coffee shop and cake shop next year, I think she will open them at the same time, because the shop has already been bought, and we are just waiting for the masters to return after completing their training."

“My mother sent three employees to Haishi to learn about roasting and coffee.”

Shen Chaoyang listened and said, "Auntie is amazing. She can run a shop and work at the same time."

He heard that Changan's mother was a teacher at Peking University.

Changan, "So when it comes to business matters, you should just ask my mom."

"Uh-huh."

"By the way, your sister is married, right?"

In the summer of 1976, a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, came to my neighbor’s sister’s house. They said they were my aunt’s children. Later, they played together and Shen Chaoyang was deeply impressed.

Changan, "I got married in May this year. If I don't get married soon, my brother-in-law will be impatient."

"Who is your brother-in-law? Is he your sister's classmate?"

"Yes, classmate. I have liked my sister since my freshman year. I have liked her for four years. We started dating when I was in my first year of graduate school. We have been dating for two years now. My sister graduated from graduate school at the end of last year."

"They started planning their marriage."

"They will come over after get off work, and you will see them then."

As his mother said, after his sister and her husband got married, they didn't come over for dinner in the first few days of their wedding. Later, they came to the bakery to eat every morning, noon and night, and they didn't cook for themselves.

Shen Chaoyang smiled, "Okay."

Of course Gu Jianhua and his wife in Suhe welcomed their son's friends as visitors.

I cooked a table full of dishes for the entertaining.

We also talked about some business matters.

Su He was thinking, could this young man Shen Chaoyang be the Mr. Shen who started a company with Changan in the book?

When she was watching, she didn't pay attention to these unimportant things and was focusing on Gu Li. Now that she thinks about it, it is very possible. At present, apart from him, there seems to be no one else with the surname Shen.

But I don’t know whether Chang’an will give up medicine and go into business in this life.

"Jianhua, I'm going to Haishi in a few days. Are you going?"

Su He wanted to go and see how her three children were doing with their studies.

Gu Jianhua was helpless, "Wife, if I go there, no one will visit the bakery."

The pie shop is not like other shops. It doesn’t matter whether the boss is there or not. He is both the boss and the chef.

"If you want to go, we can close the shop for a few days," Su He said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Jianhua's expression turned serious, "Comrade Su He, you have become corrupt. How much money will you lose if you close the shop for a few days? Hundreds of dollars."

Things are different nowadays. Today's bakery shops are doing very good business, with a daily turnover of more than 100 yuan.

We lost hundreds of dollars by closing the shop for a few days!

Su He, "What should we do? Your eldest son doesn't know how to cook, so let our dad cook. He's already that old."

"Well, if you don't want to go, then I'll go alone."

"Let me think about it."

Gu Jianhua still wants to go.

After thinking it over all night, he finally decided to close the shop, but the four elders disagreed with this decision.

"Go away, why are you closing the shop? Let's fire you." Father Su was the first to object.

Gu's mother also said, "How much money will be lost if the business closes?"

"You two can go with peace of mind. We are fine."

Qinglin, "Uncle, don't you still have me? I can also make pancakes and stir-fry some simple dishes."

Zhao Qinglin was learning cooking seriously, and in more than a month, he really learned a lot.

Gu Jianhua saw that even if he closed the shop and left, the gang would open the pancake shop right after him, so he said, "When I'm not around, you can sell pancakes and cold dishes, and don't sell stir-fried dishes."

"Okay, okay, just go with peace of mind."

Chen Juan didn't know why Su He and Gu Jianhua were going to Hai City, so she asked Gu's mother.

Gu's mother said, "Your aunt is going to open a cake shop and has sent employees to learn for a year. I guess I'm going back to see how they've done."

Chen Juan was envious when she heard this, "Aunt is going to open a store?"

Mother Gu raised her eyes and said, "Open it."

She said that her daughter-in-law is outstanding in all aspects, and Gu's mother thinks that no one is better than her daughter-in-law.

"How many stores has your aunt opened?"

Mother Gu said, “Not many.”

"If you don't open a shop, how can you support your cousins ​​with just that little salary?"

"Children today are different from those in the past. They need to be taken care of in all aspects. It is not enough to just have enough food and clothing and go to school."

Gu's mother was sitting at the front desk, writing with a pair of reading glasses on. She wrote a whole page with just one word: "太".

Last year, she still thought that when people get old, they should live a good retirement life and not waste time, but this year, for some reason, her idea suddenly changed.

She wanted to learn to read, so that she could at least know how to write her name before she died.

So she asked her mother-in-law to teach her how to read.

She can write her name now, and she can also write her husband's name, Gu Daniu, Zhao Jinzhi, both of their names.

Gu's mother thinks that the last name Gu is more difficult to write, but Daniu's given name is quite easy to write. Her last name and given name are okay, neither difficult nor easy.

Chen Juan didn't quite understand why Gu's mother wanted to learn to read and write. She thought it was a waste of time. She was so old, and it was okay for young people to learn to read, as it might be useful in the future.

But Gu's mother is so old now, her days are numbered and she is buried up to her neck in the dirt. What's the point of learning those characters? Will they be useful to her in the underworld?

But she is willing to do it, and she has the time, so her grandson's wife can't say anything, after all, they are not closely related.

She said, "What else do you want, grandma? Just feed him, clothe him, and send him to school. That's enough. We didn't even have enough to eat back then."

"Now the child has enough food and meat to eat every day."

Chen Juan feels that the children’s current lives are much better than the lives they had when they were children.

She even came to Beijing to go to school, her clothes had no patches, and she ate grains and meat every day. She would never have dared to think about this in the past.

Mother Gu said, "Times have changed. We need to look forward and not dwell on the past. Bicycles were so precious in the past, but now almost everyone has one."

"Cars are so expensive now, costing hundreds of thousands to buy one, but in the future every family may have one."

"Times are changing, and we humans must change with them."

Chen Juan didn't want to listen to Gu's mother's talk. She felt that the life she provided for her son now was already good enough, and as for the future, she would talk about it later.

Besides, everyone is different, and every family has different conditions. She can't compare.

However, Chen Juan grasped a key point that Gu's mother said.

"What's up, grandma? Are your uncle and aunt going to buy a car?"
