Just as Du Chen was explaining things to his mother and Jia Xiaomin in a clear and logical manner like a member of a pyramid scheme, Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding, two little drunkards, were already leaning back in their chairs and snoring.
"Oh, how much did these two drink? They're drunk."
Jia Xiaomin said helplessly as she looked at the two unconscious men.
Du Bin glanced at the wine bottle and found that the two of them only drank one bottle of Fenjiu.
"Mom, Auntie, my dad and Uncle Ding only drank one bottle."
"I guess they were having a good time today, they drank a little fast. It looked like they didn't eat much either, so it looked like they were drinking in a hurry."
Hearing that the two of them only drank a bottle of wine, Du Chen's mother and Jia Xiaomin were a little amused. Normally, they wouldn't drink like this for just a bottle of wine.
"Come here, Du Bin and Du Chen, the two of you come and help me help your Uncle Ding and your dad lie down on the bed so they can get some sleep."
Looking at the unconscious Lao Du and Lao Ding, Du Chen's mother could only pause the previous topic and deal with the two drunkards first.
It just so happened that the inner room was originally used for the whole family to rest, and later Du Chen's fourth aunt also moved in here. There were two bunk beds in the room, and several people worked together to help Lao Du and Lao Ding lie on the lower bunk of a bed.
After Lao Du and Lao Ding lay down, Du Chen asked Du Bin for help and helped them to lie on their sides.
"Chenchen, just let them lie down. No need to lie on their side. It's so heavy. Don't waste your energy."
Looking at Du Chen's actions, Jia Xiaomin couldn't help but speak to Du Chen.
"Auntie, when people are drunk they are sometimes unconscious. If they lie flat, it would be very dangerous if they vomit. The vomit could easily get stuck in the trachea, causing the risk of suffocation."
Du Chen positioned the two of them and explained to Jia Xiaomin.
"What you said does make sense! Chenchen, you really understand a lot!"
Jia Xiaomin sighed sincerely.
Du Chen looked at the two drunkards lying on the bed, then at his fourth uncle, still sipping wine at the dinner table. He'd already drunk 700-800 grams each. There was no harm without comparison. Meanwhile, his father and Old Ding were both playful and inexperienced.
"Second brother, continue to come over and talk about the glasses store."
Ren Surong called Du Chen over and continued talking about the eyewear store.
"Mom, that's it for the glasses store. The only thing left is to choose a location. I think the neighborhood where our new house is located is a good one. I wonder if there are any shops outside the neighborhood."
Du Chen thinks that the community near his new home is pretty good. After all, it is one of the earliest commercial housing communities in Yuncheng City. The residents there cannot be said to be rich or expensive, but they can be considered relatively wealthy. Setting up a few shops in the community is generally a sure win, and the shops also have investment properties.
"That's easy. I'm going to the new house with your dad in the next couple of days. I'll ask about it then."
"Mom, if you have a chance, ask Manager Liu if he wants to sell the shop. If he does, we can consider it."
Du Chen persuaded his mother.
"But I'm worried about not having enough money. We just bought two houses. Even though we took out loans, we still have the down payment for renovations, which is quite expensive."
Du Chen's mother also wanted to buy a shop. After all, the shops in the living area were enough to make her a lot of money, not to mention the shops in the city.
"Keep taking out the loan, Mom. Besides, the repair shop and cram school are always bringing in income. We're not living off our savings."
Du Chen strongly suggested that his mother buy a shop. Even if he and his brother Du Bin would not be able to make it big in the future, they should take advantage of the opportunity to acquire some real estate and shops so that they could become landlords in the future.
Thinking of this, Du Chen suddenly thought of gold. If he had the chance in the future, he would ask his mother to buy more gold. He probably wouldn't object.
"Forget it, it's useless to say anything now. Let's go and ask when we get to the new house. Xiao Jia, what do you think?"
"Sister, I don't understand this either, but I think buying a shop would be a good idea, right? Even if I don't run it myself, I can still rent it out and collect rent."
"Xiao Jia, let's go together when we go to the new house. Let's go look at some shops together. If you think it's suitable for you, why not buy one too!"
Du Chen's mother bewitched Jia Xiaomin.
"Let's go and have a look when the time comes. I'll also discuss it with Lao Ding."
One afternoon, Du Chen's mother and Jia Xiaomin chatted about family matters, Du Chen went to school, and Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao continued to fiddle with the camera.
"Wife, what time is it?"
Towards evening, Lao Ding finally woke up.
"It's past five o'clock. Come on, stop lying down and go home! I'll be waiting for you to come home!"
Jia Xiaomin looked at the confused Old Ding and said angrily, "Not only did he drink too much at noon, but he also slept at someone else's house for the whole afternoon. It's a good thing he didn't vomit, otherwise he would have lost face."
"Xiao Min, why are you replying? It's already late. Heat up your lunch and eat it first!"
Ren Surong held Jia Xiaomin and refused to let her leave no matter what.
Old Ding now realized what he had done at noon. He didn't say a word and just followed Jia Xiaomin's instructions, doing whatever his wife asked him to do. If he didn't calm down now, it would cause more trouble when he got home in the evening.
"Lao Du, wake up, Lao Ding is leaving!"
Du Chen's mother looked at the embarrassed Jia Xiaomin and immediately went to call Comrade Lao Du, preparing to ask Comrade Lao Du to keep Lao Ding and his wife.
"Huh? Old Ding is leaving? What time is it?"
Comrade Lao Du woke up in a daze and asked his wife.
"It's past five o'clock, hurry up and get up, you won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Du Chen's mother urged Comrade Lao Du to get up quickly.
Comrade Lao Du stood up, rubbed his face and woke up a little, then began to try to persuade Lao Ding and his wife to stay.
"Okay, Xiao Min, come back after dinner! By the way, talk to Lao Ding about the shop tonight and see what he thinks."
"All right then."
After repeated requests, Jia Xiaomin finally agreed to have dinner before leaving.
"Lao Ding, try drinking again tonight!"
After Jia Xiaomin finished talking to Du Chen's mother, she turned around and whispered threats in Lao Ding's ear.
"Yeah, no! I'm having fun at noon!"
Old Ding said to Jia Xiaomin with a bitter face.
Jia Xiaomin glared at Lao Ding again and said nothing.
"Wife, what shop did you just mention?"
Comrade Lao Du looked at Lao Ding with a bitter face, so he asked his wife to help Lao Ding out.
"I talked with Xiao Min at noon. When I go to my new house, I will see if there are any shops for sale outside the community. If all aspects are suitable, I would like to buy another shop."
"A shop? Sure, I can run it myself or rent it out."
When Comrade Lao Du heard this, he thought it was a good idea and nodded.
"Wife, are you planning to open a shop too?"
Old Ding asked Jia Xiaomin quietly from the side.
"Let's go and take a look together when the time comes. There will definitely be no problem if we follow Sister Ren and the others."
"Shops are not cheap, what should I do with the money? After renovating our house, there won't be much left. I think buying a shop will be difficult."
"When the time comes, I'll borrow some from my parents, and then borrow some from your parents. I'm not afraid of not being able to buy a shop!"
Jia Xiaomin now dislikes Lao Ding more and more, so she speaks to him in a very aggressive tone.
