"Yeah, I know that too. I just worry about the eldest brother sometimes. He doesn't have as many ideas as the second brother. He's just as naive as you. I'm afraid he'll learn bad things from those bad kids."
Du Chen's mother is also aware of her own problems, but even though she knows it, she can't help but worry, so she can't help nagging her from time to time.
"Hehe, isn't being simple a bad thing? Simple and honest, the more simple, the more honest."
Comrade Lao Du argued with his wife with a smile.
"Tsk, you are so honest, but you haven't made any fortune. Oh, Lao Du, the old saying you said is quite reasonable. The first loyal minister and the second treacherous minister, look at the first one, then look at the second one."
Du Chen's mother suddenly felt emotional.
"That's right, who do you think the second brother looks like? You even said I was stupid, but I think he looks like you, or maybe his uncle."
Comrade Lao Du joked with a smile.
"Alas, brother-in-law, my brother is lucky to be half as smart as Chenchen. I need to let my Linlin play with his brother more often, and not be like his father and uncle."
Ren Suping was so happy listening to her sister and brother-in-law chatting, and then she sighed.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. How much can parents control them?"
Comrade Lao Du sighed.
"Tsk, you're being irresponsible. You're just lazy and don't want to take care of the kids."
Du Chen’s mother doesn’t believe these things. She believes that as Heaven moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!
In the later era when everyone was involved in gambling, Du Chen's mother was definitely a tiger mom.
"Yes, yes, you are here!"
Comrade Lao Du didn't dare to continue provoking his wife and quickly admitted his mistake.
Ren Suping and her husband Xiao Li were secretly amused while watching from the side, but Ren Suping felt that what her sister said made sense. It seemed that Du Chen's little cousin Lin Lin would inevitably suffer in the future.
"Oh, by the way, I've inquired about the storefronts. That row of storefronts is on the land of Yongxing Village next to our living area. The village brigade raised money to build the storefronts themselves."
"At first they were planning to rent it out, but there were no takers, so they sold it later."
Comrade Lao Du suddenly remembered the storefront next to the living area and changed the subject.
"Then let's take some time to go to the village brigade to talk and decide if we want to buy him."
Du Chen's mother has a very good vision.
"Is the money enough? If not, wait a few days. The repair shop will settle its accounts with the company in a few days, and I think we can get quite a bit of money."
"Have you calculated how much you can earn this time?"
Hearing this, Du Chen's mother also became serious. She had just contracted the repair shop last month, and the repair shop earned more than 1,760 yuan a month. Adding Comrade Lao Du's salary of more than 500 yuan, her income last month was about 2,300 yuan.
As for the store, it was about the same as usual, also more than 2,000. Adding up, the family income last month was about 4,500. Whenever Du Chen's mother thought about her family's income, she felt particularly at ease.
"It's been a busy month. I had someone referred by Mi Duan to come and modify the audio system, and we just did a concentrated repair last month. This month, most of the company's cars need to be inspected and maintained. I calculated that I can earn around 5,000 this month."
"But this month, including the salaries paid out, it's about four thousand."
Comrade Lao Du calculated it silently in his mind and said it directly to his wife. Ren Suping was envious when she heard it. When others were still earning 500, 600, 700 or 800 yuan, her brother-in-law was already earning 4,000 yuan a month.
Even after deducting expenses and contracting fees, the monthly income is still around 3,000 yuan. Looking around, this is also a top income.
"That's a lot. I think it's a good idea to contract the repair shop."
Du Chen's mother sighed happily.
"The money for buying a storefront is enough, and there's also money from Du Chen's book publishing."
Du Chen's mother then spoke to Comrade Lao Du.
"Then take some time to go and have a look."
Comrade Lao Du finally came to a conclusion.
…
Around six o'clock in the evening, the high temperature during the day finally subsided a little, and Lao Ding and his wife had already arrived at the store.
Comrade Lao Du was squatting in front of the oven and lighting a fire.
"Hey, Old Ding, have you decided on the director position? How long has it been?"
Comrade Lao Du was making a fire while chatting with Lao Ding. He hadn't chatted with Lao Ding for a long time.
"It's settled. The appointment was just made two days ago!"
Old Ding proudly answered Comrade Lao Du's questions, but it did take a while.
"You're such a great guy, Old Ding! You didn't even tell me about such a big undertaking! You didn't tell me until I asked you. What's the matter? Are you afraid that I'll take advantage of you?"
"No way, I just got the appointment, and I'm looking for you to drink today. Anyway, this matter has been quite complicated. If we hadn't caught those thieves last time, this time might have really failed!"
Old Ding sighed.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Comrade Lao Du was full of curiosity. He was still wondering why they had mentioned the promotion to director during our last outing, but it had been delayed until now.
"Hey, how could you not understand? Isn't it that someone has set their sights on this position? They must have used their connections. Fortunately, I just made a contribution, and this long-drawn-out issue has just been resolved."
Lao Ding didn't want to go into details, so he just gave a general account of what happened.
Comrade Lao Du understood what was going on as soon as he heard it and stopped asking questions.
"Who cares? You're the director now! Have a nice drink today. I'll treat you next time to celebrate your promotion and raise!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you!"
"Hey, Lao Du, is Miaomiao obedient every day? Has she caused you any trouble?"
"Be obedient, Miaomiao, how can you be obedient? If you say you are not obedient, it is those two naughty kids in my family who are disobedient..."
On this side, Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding were chatting, and on the other side, Jia Xiaomin and Du Chen's mother were also chatting.
