When Gu Shouxin finished washing the dishes and went to the main room, the mother and her two daughters were laughing heartily.
He knew that his little girl had this ability to make people feel happy.
I just made a spontaneous confession, so I hope my wife isn't embarrassed anymore, and that's normal now!
"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?" Gu Shouxin walked in, sat down by the fire, and asked with a smile.
The fire they're using now was drawn by Gu Nian and made by her fourth uncle.
At the bottom is still a brazier, and on top of the brazier is a small square table. Cover it with a layer, and you can put your feet inside it to warm your whole body.
You can do whatever you want with your hands on the table.
"They're talking badly about you!" Cai Xiaolian laughed.
"Oh? Talking bad things can make my wife so happy? Then if I'm even worse in the future, won't my wife be even happier?" Gu Shouxin was relieved to see Cai Xiaolian smile at him and joked.
"You're so unserious!" Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Come on, let's tally up this year's income and then draft a plan for next year!"
"Alright, my wife, you can say it now!" Gu Shouxin found it easier to call her "wife".
“Niannian, Xinxin, today we settled the accounts with Madam Cheng for Zuijianglou and the money from selling the toiletries. I just added up the daily income since we started selling New Year's goods, and the total is 3,007 taels, 5824 cash. Take a look, all the accounts for each item are here.” Cai Xiaolian pushed the account book to the three of them.
Gu Xin kept track of the daily accounts, and Cai Xiaolian had just finished calculating the total accounts.
After the father and daughters looked at it, they didn't say anything and all looked at Cai Xiaolian.
Cai Xiaolian said, "First of all, there's the matter of buying the estate. Your father has inquired, and the price of the estate is between 1,500 and 1,800 taels. So let's set aside 2,000 taels and finalize the deal in the first month of the lunar year."
"Then, our family needs a vehicle. Spring is coming and we'll be planting, and Grandpa and Grandma can't keep asking us to borrow their vehicles every day. So, what do you think we should buy: an oxcart, a horse-drawn cart, or a donkey cart?"
"Then there's Niannian's shampoo and conditioner set. If we open a shop, how should we cooperate with the Cheng family, or should we make it ourselves without cooperating?"
"Finally, back in the first year of junior high, none of us wrote a plan for the following year. I kept it, and we'll look at it again next year at this time to see if we've achieved it."
Gu Shouxin spoke first: "For now, we'll just buy a donkey cart. It'll be convenient for our family of four to travel and can also be used to haul goods. As for cooperation, my idea is that we'll do it ourselves and not cooperate."
Gu Nian nodded: "I don't know what kind of car we need, but regarding the cooperation, this is also what I'm thinking. We don't want to cooperate. We have the technology and the money. If we cooperate, what will Madam Cheng contribute? People? Actually, once we open the shop, we can hire people ourselves, and Mother can go check on it every other day. There are always some inconveniences in cooperating with others."
Cai Xiaolian sighed: "Of course, it's best to be in charge of your own business. However, Madam Cheng wants to cooperate with us. If we do it alone, she'll have some reservations. After all, she's the county magistrate's wife, and she still has a certain amount of influence in Taoyuan County."
Gu Shouxin smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll handle this. I guarantee they won't hold a grudge."
Cai Xiaolian asked curiously, "How do you plan to negotiate?"
