Chapter 344 Two Thousand Yuan a Month
Although it was not a formal proposal, Su He and Gu Jianhua's visit to Guan's family to visit Guan's parents was prepared according to advance specifications.
Two bottles of white wine, two bottles of red wine, two cartons of cigarettes, two boxes of tea, two boxes of cakes, two boxes of candy, two boxes of bird's nests, two boxes each of sea cucumber and abalone, two boxes of dried fruits, two boxes of fruit, and two boxes of milk powder.
Plus a set of skin care products that Su He brought to Guan Mu.
Su He felt that her business acumen had been opened since she opened the shop. She noticed that many people were buying bird's nests, sea cucumbers and abalone.
I'm wondering if she should open one too.
Gu Jianhua meant, "If you want to open a shop, just open it. Don't we have two empty shops?"
I bought four shops the year before last, one of about 600 square meters, two of about 400 square meters, and one of more than 1,000 square meters.
The 600-square-meter and 1,000-square-meter properties are two-story properties with a second floor, while the two 400-square-meter properties do not have a second floor and are just storefronts.
Gu Jianhua originally thought that the hot pot restaurant did not need to be that big, about 400 square meters would be enough, but he still wanted a store with a second floor, and finally chose the 600 square meter shop with a second floor.
The beauty salon in Su He, which is over 1,000 square meters, is planned to be opened at the end of the year and has already been renovated and opened.
There are only two empty shops of 400 square meters left.
"You don't need to open such a big bird's nest shop. About 100 square meters will be enough. 400 square meters is too big!"
Even if we put products such as sea cucumber, bird's nest, abalone and fish maw in one store, it doesn't need to be that big.
Gu Jianhua, "It's not a good idea for our shop to remain empty. Let's think about what to open."
Su He, "You open the supermarket, and I will open a western restaurant next year."
"I want to open a big supermarket, probably about 5,000 to 10,000 square meters. You should decide what kind of store to open."
Gu Jianhua is proud of his large supermarkets and does not want to open a small supermarket.
Su He suddenly had an idea, "I've decided on Jianhua. I'll open a maternity and baby store there, specializing in selling products for pregnant women, postpartum women, infants, and children."
Gu Jianhua listened and said, "Sure, sure. From what you described, it seems like it would be great to open a store like this."
Pregnant women, postpartum women, infants, and children have demands in all aspects that are no less than those of ordinary people. For example, postpartum women must wear loose clothes.
There is basically nothing available on the market except buying large sizes or making them yourself.
I basically make all the baby clothes and quilts myself.
"Yeah, I think it's great too. Otherwise, I don't know what to do with a 400-square-meter store other than opening a restaurant or a supermarket."
Gu Jianhua, "So, your wife, when are you going to open your shop selling bird's nests, sea cucumbers and abalone?"
"This year, I'm going to go see the shop the day after tomorrow. It won't take too long to renovate the shop, and it will probably be open in early October." Su He calculated.
"Okay, go ahead."
Gu Jianhua strongly supports his wife's idea of opening a store. He doesn't have as many ideas as his wife, so he thought of opening a restaurant supermarket. It turns out that his wife is smart.
The next day, Saturday.
To visit their in-laws.
Go to Chang'an too.
At this time, Guan's father, Guan's mother, Guan Bolin and their family of three were also ready and got up early to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Before they arrived, Guan's mother said to her daughter, "They are probably here to discuss your marriage."
"Tell mom when you want to get married? What do you think about the dowry?"
Guan Bolin, "Talking about marriage? Can Mom do it so quickly?"
Guan's mother said, "This is not fast at all. It's a normal process. Chang'an has been to our house, and you have also been to their house to see him."
"Today our parents will meet, get to know each other, and then discuss your marriage."
"Looking at their family's situation, they will give a lot of betrothal gifts. But if you have any ideas, you can also mention them. You are our only daughter. Anyway, no matter how much betrothal gifts you ask for, your parents will give it back to you."
Guan Bolin, "Mom, I don't know how much is appropriate? You guys decide for me."
Guan's mother asked, "Look at you, what about the jewelry? What do you think?"
Guan Bolin shook her head, "I don't know, you want a gold ring?"
Guan's mother said, "Okay, we'll decide for you."
How come this girl has no idea about her marriage?
Driving is fast. After about ten minutes, Su He, Gu Jianhua and others arrived at Guan’s building.
Guan Bolin had been paying attention to the outside. When she heard the sound of a car, she looked out the window and said, "Mom and Dad, they are coming."
"Okay, got it."
Guan's father and mother were cooking in the kitchen. When they saw someone coming, they washed their hands, tidied their appearance, and went to greet the guest.
The two sides met and exchanged a few polite words.
Guan's father and mother served them tea. The dishes in the kitchen were almost finished. Guan's father stayed to chat while Guan's mother went to cook the remaining dishes. Chang'an, as the future son-in-law, went to the kitchen to help his mother-in-law.
Guan's father and Gu Jianhua were having a good chat. Su He got up and went to the kitchen to chat with Guan's mother.
Guan's mother is older than Su He. She is 50 years old this year, and Guan's father is 52 years older than Su He.
Guan's mother said, "After we get married, it will be too late to have a child."
Su He said, "That's normal, Sister Guan. You guys graduated from college at least at 24 years old. Jianhua and I didn't go to college. I took the entrance exam later."
"I started school late. Other children were in the second grade at the age of eight, but I was only in the first grade. I entered university at the age of 20, studied in university for four years, and graduated at the age of 24."
"I met her dad in college, we dated for about a year, and then got married. She was born at 27."
Su He listened and said, "It's good. I got married early. I got married at the age of 20, and had them the following year."
Guan's mother smiled and said, "It's good to get married early. You two are still young now, and your children are working and have families. You two can retire now."
"Hey, Sister Guan, we have two little ones at home, so it's too late for us to have a second child."
Su He felt that he was too arrogant when he was young and should have had a second child when Changyi and Changan were four or five years old. If he had done so, they would have been in college now.
Mother Guan, "How old is Changan's sister?"
"15. I will be a sophomore in high school starting September this year." Su He said.
When Guan's mother heard this, she said, "It will be soon. It will be great if the children go to college."
While chatting, Guan's mother cooked the dishes and set the table for dinner.
Su He took the initiative to talk about the two children. "My in-laws are like this. As for Changan, I bought him a car. It was newly bought this year. As for the house, I bought him a flat a few days ago. It hasn't been decorated yet."
"You two can decorate it according to your own preferences, and we will pay for it..."
Now that we have an RV, we can get married anytime.
Guan's father and mother also understand that as parents, they are very satisfied with their son-in-law. He has a good family background and he himself is also very outstanding, working as a doctor.
It seems that the in-laws are also very satisfied with their daughter.
The two children don’t have any objections, so let’s get married.
Guan's father said, "The house needs to be renovated first, otherwise they will have nowhere to live after they get married."
Gu Jianhua said, "Yes, it must be renovated first. I will find a craftsman for them tomorrow, but the decoration style is up to them to choose."
Guan's mother said, "Their wedding is scheduled for next year, and this house will need to be aired out for several months after it is renovated before people can move in."
"As for the betrothal gift, you can take 6,666 yuan, plus three golds. We have no other requirements."
"You guys bought the RV, and we bought the furniture and appliances for the two kids' new home."
...........
Both parties had a pleasant conversation.
Although Guan's parents asked for a dowry of 6666, Su He and Gu Jianhua prepared 11,000 yuan for their daughter-in-law.
A gold necklace, a pair of gold earrings, a gold ring, a pair of gold bracelets, and a pair of jade bracelets.
I'll give you the emerald bracelet after we get married.
When Su He and Gu Jianhua delivered the things to Guan's home, both Guan's father and mother were stunned.
The favorable impression towards the in-laws Su He and Gu Jianhua has been rising sharply.
Guan's mother said to Guan Bolin, "Your parents-in-law are indeed businessmen, they are generous."
"Just these two bracelets must cost hundreds of thousands."
Guan's mother picked up the pair of jade bracelets with icy patterns.
"You are so lucky to be their daughter-in-law. You will have a share of all the good things in the future."
Guan Bolin had never studied jade bracelets before, so she was puzzled.
"Is it that expensive, Mom? Hundreds of thousands. These two pairs of bracelets are more expensive than a car?"
Guan's mother said, "Of course, you should keep the good stuff and don't bump into it."
According to the date, the banquet will be held in March next year.
Chang'an and Guan Bolin went to get their marriage certificate first. Although it was approved by the state, they had not yet invited relatives to a wedding banquet, so it was not considered a marriage.
Therefore, the two of them cannot live together yet.
After Chang'an's marriage was discussed, Su Hema went straight to buy a shop. She was going to open her seafood and bird's nest shop.
I bought a store of over 100 square meters and spent tens of thousands of yuan.
The shop will be renovated after purchase and will be opened in early October as much as possible.
In addition to shops, Su He also visited small houses and villas.
Su He took a fancy to a villa that was similar to the one owned by Feng’s parents. The front and back yards together were 1,500 square meters. It was quite large and had three floors.
It costs more than 600,000 yuan, which is not cheap, so I went to discuss it with Gu Jianhua.
"Buy it, wife. Our house is too inconvenient. We don't even have a separate kitchen, bathroom, or washroom."
Gu Jianhua felt that the tube-shaped building was not as good as the brick house in his village. His brick house had an independent bathroom, but the one they lived in now was shared by several families.
It's not like they are short of money now. If the house is uncomfortable to live in, they should buy a new one.
Su He: "Okay, I'll go buy it."
It’s easy if you have money. Just discuss it with your family.
The villa is not new, so they need to renovate it before they can move in.
I just can't save this money.
Either buying a shop or buying a house.
School started on September 1st and Su He went to work.
I had been busy with the renovation of the shop and Chang'an's wedding.
By September, Gu Jianhua finally had some free time.
He is looking for a chef.
I asked relatives and friends and found a chef who had retired from a state-owned hotel.
