Grandma Liang came straight to the point. She valued Xiao Yi as a person and would not treat her woman badly in the future. Moreover, Xiao's parents seemed easy to get along with, and the sisters-in-law were also very sensible and capable. Anyway, Cuicui's life would not be difficult but would be better if she lived in their family.
To put it in the long run, their family's business is getting better and better, and they will definitely become richer and richer in the future. The key is that the younger generation in the family is good at studying, and their future is limitless. In short, Grandma Liang is satisfied with every aspect of the Xiao family.
The so-called competition for a son-in-law requires activeness. If you see one you like, you have to act quickly, otherwise he will become someone else's.
Xiao Yi nodded, which was considered as his agreement. He also wanted to spend more time with Liang Cuicui, and then talk about marriage, so that they could have a clearer understanding of each other.
What's more, he was thinking that his eldest brother and Madam Song haven't made up their minds yet. Would it be bad if he got there first?
But he didn't say these things, and that's a story for later.
After lunch, after resting in the yard for a while, Liang Cuicui suggested taking him around the farm and orchard.
Xiao Yi agreed, and the two of them began to stroll around the area. After spending half a day together, the tension and pressure they felt at the beginning were gone, and they were getting along more and more naturally.
The scenery of the farm is really beautiful, with picturesque mountains and clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers. It is very suitable for a date.
The two of them stayed on the farm for the whole day until dusk. Xiao Yi also helped Liang Cuicui's family with some work, picking vegetables and fruits for them. He was very diligent.
The two agreed to go to the theater to watch a play together tomorrow, and Xiao Yi would come to pick up Liang Cuicui early in the morning.
It was almost evening when Xiao Yi returned home. His face was beaming with joy and it looked like he had a very happy day.
He also got to know Cuicui better, a very capable and cheerful girl, who was straightforward and unpretentious, and who cared about him very much.
After closing the shop and returning home, Xiao's mother and others asked him how the talk went today. The child just nodded and smiled foolishly, and everyone understood what he meant.
It seems that the two young people are getting along well and are starting to get along with each other. He told his eldest and second brothers that he might have to take a leave of absence for the next few days and take Cuicui out to play.
This is a major event in his life, so his two brothers are of course very sensible. Not to mention a few days, even a few months would be fine.
However, Xiao Qin was thinking that it was time to put the matter between him and Madam Song on the agenda. The two of them had already expressed their feelings to each other, and all they had left was to give an explanation to their families.
The two children do not reject each other, and everything happens so naturally and smoothly.
However, Xiao Qin thought that he still wanted to save more money, and then take the mother and daughter and Brother Yuan to rent a small courtyard that could accommodate their family of four.
Their situations are different. Once they get together, it's impossible for four people to live in one room, right?
Therefore, it is necessary to move out when the time comes, but he doesn't want to let down Madam Song and her daughter, so he just finds an ordinary small courtyard to make do with. He hopes to improve his quality of life and live closer to his home.
He now had only a dozen taels of silver saved, which was not enough. Madam Song had also saved a little in the past six months and had already redeemed the bracelet. Her performance in the hairpin shop was still remarkable. She could earn several taels of silver every month, which was more than enough to support himself and his daughter. However, Xiao Qin wanted to show his attitude, so he was naturally unwilling to spend Madam Song's money.
The shop on North Street has been open for two months, with a monthly net profit of between sixty and seventy taels of silver. The shop has also added new cold noodles, which taste refreshing and appetizing, and sells especially well.
The fixed profit on West Street is about seventy taels every month. It has been open for four months and the invested capital has been fully earned back.
The total profit in the family account is now more than four hundred taels.
Xiao's mother made a plan. Seeing that the lease of the courtyard had expired, she had rented it for half a year and had renewed it for two months.
Now, the eldest son and the third son have shown signs of starting a family again, and the business of the two stores is very stable.
In a few months, there will be a new baby in the family. Zhou already has two children in her lifetime, so the yard they live in now is too small and they have to move to a bigger house.
She also thought about buying some people from the pawnshop, training them, and letting them take over the kitchen work. This way, her family would have some free time to take care of the front office and the counter, and they would only need to take care of the business and the accounts in the store.
She couldn't possibly let herself and the children stay in the kitchen for the rest of their lives, right? Isn't the purpose of earning money to make life easier, better, and more enjoyable?
So, as usual, Xiao's mother found Jiang Sui to discuss the matter.
"Sui Sui, I'm thinking that we should move to a bigger house. We are not short of money now, but we are going to have a few new members soon. Our current yard is definitely not big enough for us to live in. If we have too many people crowded together, it will be inconvenient for them to do anything. Seeing that your third brother is about to get married, and your second sister-in-law is going to give birth in a few months, I thought that you should talk to the guy at the dental shop and let us rent a small house to live in. At least it should be bigger than the current one, right?"
Xiao's mother's considerations are not unreasonable, and the problems she mentioned are indeed realistic.
In the past, due to limited conditions, we had no choice but to squeeze into one yard. It was really inconvenient. Sometimes, couples had to lower their voices when they wanted to whisper something to each other.
And every time after doing that, it’s not even convenient to take a shower.
Jiang Sui still had 1,500 taels of silver in her pocket. Several times she almost had the impulse to buy a house so that everyone could live in peace.
If Xiao Hechuan hadn't stopped her, she would have really gone to see the house on impulse.
Now, it’s good that Xiao’s mother has brought up this matter. If you make money, you can move into a bigger house. Everything should be based on your own comfort. Otherwise, what’s the point of working so hard to make money?
"Mom, I think you're right. It's too cramped to live in this small courtyard. Seeing that my eldest brother and third brother are getting married soon, we must have a big house so that our family can live together peacefully and happily. But we still have to discuss this with Dad and the others. I'll say hello to Hechuan in the evening, and then I'll go to the dental clinic with him, okay?"
Whenever Jiang Sui nodded in agreement, Xiao's mother felt relieved. She still relied on Jiang Sui for both big and small matters.
In the past, no one discussed things with her, so she could only figure it out on her own. Now that someone is asking her to discuss things with her, she naturally wants to discuss it with them.
Another thing is, all the money the Xiao family earns now is due to Jiang Sui’s contribution, right?
If I don’t discuss money with her, who else can I talk to?
