Chapter 319 The More You Earn, the More You Spend

With that 180,000 yuan, they could open several stores.

That's what Xiaomei and Zhang Chen thought. If they had 180,000 yuan, they would use it to open a store. They would save 100,000 yuan and use 80,000 yuan to open a store.

It’s a pity that they don’t have it, their savings are less than 100,000.

Xiaomei said to Zhang Chen, "When we have enough savings of 100,000, we will open a second store. The profit for the whole year next year should be enough for 100,000!"

Her bun shop business is doing very well, with a profit of more than three thousand yuan every month.

For an ordinary family, earning 3,000 yuan a month is quite impressive. It is enough to spend on anything. After all, the average monthly salary of people is still around 40, 50 or 50 or 60 yuan.

But the more money you make, the more you spend.

In the past, when she was in her hometown, any clothes she wore, as long as they were not patched, were good clothes. She had a pair of small leather shoes, which she only wore during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

After coming to Beijing, the couple opened a steamed buns shop, made some money, bought a house and a shop, and so on.

With her son now born, Xiaomei felt that her consumption concept suddenly changed.

A piece of clothing sold in her aunt's shop cost dozens of dollars, but she bought it without blinking an eye. Her shoe cabinet was full of leather shoes. She felt that she had suddenly become particular and wanted to wear good clothes, eat good food and use good things.

She thought that this might be the confidence that comes from having money. When they had no money before, she and Zhang Chen in their hometown had a combined salary of 30 yuan a month, and they could still save 20 yuan.

Now their monthly expenses are at least 200, sometimes 500 or even 1,000.

During the Chinese New Year, she bought some clothes for her family and asked her aunt to help her order some sea cucumbers, abalone and other things, and she spent 1,500 yuan in total!

In short, when you are poor, you can still get by by frugal, but when you have money, you don't want to frugal anymore and you don't want to put yourself in a difficult position.

She thought about it and decided that the reason they didn't want to buy a car now was probably because they didn't have enough money.

If you save up one or two hundred thousand, buying a small car is not an easy thing.

Zhang Chen, "You can open a second store now. We have enough money."

Xiaomei shook her head, "No, no, no, let's save up 100,000 yuan first, and then put it in the bank. Normally, we won't take it out. This 100,000 yuan is our retreat, our family assets, and our confidence!"

She must save one hundred thousand yuan.

"Okay, in fact, even if we don't open a second one, this bun shop is enough for our family to live on." Zhang Chen said.

Xiaomei said, "No, if we just rely on a shop, how can we save enough money to buy a car?"

You must buy a car, but not now. Let's see what you will get in ten or eight years.

"If my aunt hadn't opened other shops and just relied on my uncle's pie shop, I don't think she would have saved up 100,000 yuan, let alone a car, just like us!"

“You can’t rely on just one store.”

Zhang Chen admired Su He very much, "How many stores has your aunt opened?"

"About ten or so. Anyway, you're calculating based on the frequency of two stores a year." Xiaomei didn't know exactly how many stores her aunt had opened.

Anyway, the minimum is two stores a year.

To be honest, Xiaomei admires her aunt's courage. She opens stores one after another without worrying about losing money due to bad business. She just keeps opening stores.

This year, we opened a coffee shop and a cake shop.

She went to a coffee shop to drink coffee that day, and the shop was full of people.

And that cake shop, I guess it makes a lot of money every month!

A box of birthday cakes, the cheapest one, costs dozens of dollars.

Zhang Chen sighed, "We can't compare with my aunt. My aunt has a backer, but we don't."

"That's true." Xiaomei nodded.

When she opened the clothing store, my aunt borrowed money from her brothers, nearly several thousand yuan.

The couple sighed for a while, and Xiaomei stood up, "I'm going to the cake shop, do you have any cake you want to eat?"

Zhang Chen, "I want egg fritters and strawberry rolls."

"Okay, you only eat these two a day."

As for why the couple's monthly consumption is so high, in addition to daily eating and drinking out, they also love to eat cakes and desserts.

I fell in love with it after trying it once. It's a little expensive, but it's okay to reward myself by eating it once a week.

Time quickly came to November.

It's winter.

The advantages of a small car become apparent in winter, especially when Changyi and Han Shuyan are taking care of a baby. It’s okay in summer, but in winter they dare not go out without wrapping themselves tightly.

It’s cold!

Now that we have a car, it is convenient to go back and forth and do anything.

It's the end of the year and this year is almost over.

Su He discussed with Gu Jianhua about going to Hohhot during the winter vacation. They were planning to open a hotpot restaurant serving ice-cooked lamb next year and needed to go and have some reference.

There's just no one to take care of the little girl because her parents are both working.

In fact, the four elders can take care of the baby without any problem, but Su He thought that her parents and parents-in-law are old after all, and it would be very dangerous if they accidentally bumped into something while holding the baby.

Changan responded thoughtfully, "Mom and Dad, just go and rest assured. I have graduated from graduate school."

"Sui Sui, I'll just watch over you."

Changjun Changhuan, "Mom and Dad, we can watch it too."

They, the uncles and aunts, will take good care of the baby.

Su He, "You two are not going to Hohhot with us? Are you going to stay?"

Changjun and Changhuan looked at each other and said, "Let's go."

They thought their parents didn't plan to take them.

Changan, "Go, all of you go, it's okay, I can take good care of Sui Sui, don't we still have grandma and grandpa to take care of them?"

"Besides, my brother-in-law and his wife come back every morning, noon and evening!"

Suisui is still young and needs to sleep twice a day. He is very easy to take care of.

Su He nodded, "Okay, at worst we can just let them take a few days off."

Changan, "Hey, Mom and Dad will wait for you to leave, let me drive our car."

"Go ahead and drive. You have a driver's license anyway. Just be careful and drive carefully so as not to bump into anything."

"Yeah, I will definitely drive well!"

He had only driven the car two or three times before when he was studying at school. Now that he has graduated from graduate school and his parents are not around, he can drive the car every day, hehe.

End of December.

After the final exams, all schools are closed for the holidays.

Su He and Gu Jianhua planned to go to Hohhot, taking their two children with them. The round trip and the inspection and travel time would take a total of half a month.

If all goes well, I'll be back in ten days.

Gu Jianhua followed him and the halal restaurant prepared to close for a few days.

"Uncle, there's no need to close the door. If you trust me, I can open it." Lu Jincheng said.

As the manager and driver of the billiard hall, he would walk around the billiard hall in the morning, take a look around the store, and then come back to help his uncle to prepare the meat, vegetables and so on.

When I was learning how to make halogen, he helped me and now I have learned how to make halogen.

Gu Jianhua thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then don't go to the billiard hall these days. Just let your sister Wei keep an eye on it."

"Yes, uncle, you can go without any worries."
