Chapter 126 Stable
"Don't talk nonsense, what do you know?"
“I understand…”
From a distance, Zhou Anan could still hear the little boy's unconvinced voice and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
If he remembered correctly, Li Yan would get married at the end of 2017. As for the object, it seemed to be a tall and slightly fat civil servant.
Anyway, Zhou Anan sang alone in a KTV in Lizhou until dawn that day. When she went out, she bumped into a flexible personal trainer and began her rapid journey of improving her emotional intelligence.
"This feeling can be turned into a memory."
Putting her hands on the car window, Zhou Anan whispered as she watched the scenery quickly flash by behind her.
It takes four and a half hours from Lucheng to Lizhou, and more than five hours from Luqiao to Lizhou. By the time Zhou Anan set foot in Lizhou, it was already 10:30 in the evening.
When she got in the taxi, Zhou Anan called home.
It’s so cold. If I had told my family in advance, my dad would definitely be waiting here.
There is no car at home, and Zhou Anan doesn't want his father to be exposed to the cold wind.
Acting first and reporting later is the style.
"Kid, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming back today? Why didn't you let your dad pick you up?"
At night, the house was brightly lit. Wang Jingyu looked his son up and down when he saw him coming back, and couldn't help but blame him.
"Your mother has been nagging about it for over half an hour."
Zhou Youliang originally wanted to help his son pick up the luggage, but when he saw that his son had nothing in his hands, he paused and agreed.
"It's so cold on a cold day. It's so cold to ride a motorcycle."
Zhou Anan answered with a smile while drinking the hot water handed to her by her mother.
"You kid, your dad could have borrowed a van to pick you up. It's all your fault. I asked you to buy a car, but you refused."
After replying to her son, Wang Jingyu turned around and blamed her husband.
Her online store has been doing good business recently, and she has earned no less than 20,000 yuan in just one month. She wanted her husband to buy a van so that he could use it on rainy days and sometimes help her deliver goods.
"I'll buy it in two days."
After listening to his wife's nagging again and thinking about the reason why his son didn't call home, Zhou Youliang felt that he really needed to buy a van to shelter from the wind and rain.
"Dad, buy a better car. Safety comes first."
Speaking of this topic, Zhou Anan couldn't help but interject.
My family currently runs a quarry. Although it is a partnership between several people, the annual profit is still good and we can definitely afford to buy a car.
Of course, if Zhou Anan were to suggest, buying several houses in the city would be the way to get rich.
Unfortunately, he was a person of low status and his words were ignored.
"Why buy something so good? If you buy it, everyone will come to borrow it."
Zhou Youliang, who has always been strong, directly refuted his son's proposal.
If the friends who work with Dan's family at the quarry bought a better car, they would probably have to borrow it from us whenever they had time, which would cause a lot of trouble.
It would be a good idea to buy a van, and no one will lend it to you to save face.
"oh."
After hearing his father's reason, Zhou Anan subconsciously shut up.
This is indeed a problem, but my dad and his family have no use for the money.
Even if Zhou Anan said now that housing prices in the city would skyrocket in the next two years, even increasing by ten or twenty times, I guess my dad wouldn't believe it.
This confidence was established through Zhou Anan's years of fighting wits and courage with his father.
His father was an ordinary man born in the 1960s who pursued "stability". He was so stable that he missed many opportunities to get rich and become a first-generation wealthy man.
However, precisely because of this stability, Zhou Anan's life will not be full of ups and downs, and she will live peacefully until graduation.
Do not seek great wealth, as small wealth will be lost. A stable life is enough.
This is also the reason why Zhou Anan never dared to tell her father that she made money. Otherwise, all the money would go into their pockets in minutes.
They say that they are saving the money for you to marry, and I just want to ask you if you accept it.
"The rice cake is ready. Your father and I went to Zhu Town yesterday to make it. Eat it while it's hot."
The rice cake in the pot was cooked, and Wang Jingyu quickly brought it to his son.
"Mom, how's the TB store business going lately?"
While eating the warm rice cake, Zhou Anan asked.
"This, you won't believe it, the business these past two days..."
The business situation in the past was discussed over the phone. When Wang Jingyu talked about the business in the past two days, his face was full of excitement.
In the beginning, he could only make one or two thousand yuan a month, but in just half a year, Wang Jingyu's TB store had sold thousands of thermos cups and made a profit of over 70,000 yuan.
Especially in the past two days, as the year is coming to an end and the express delivery services are about to close, the online orders are more than ten times more than usual.
More than 300 were sold yesterday, and nearly 400 were sold today. The profit is definitely considerable. Even Zhou Youliang found it hard to believe when he saw it.
"Since business is so good, Mom, let's hire an extra customer service representative to take orders."
Putting down the bowl in his hand, Zhou Anan made a suggestion.
Compared to her terribly stubborn father, Zhou Anan was able to discuss things with her mother, and her suggestions were quite targeted.
"I've already recruited someone. The daughter of your uncle Wencai next door just quit her job a few days ago and came to work yesterday. If you get home early, you can still see her."
Talking about this recruitment matter, Wang Jingyu feels quite proud.
The nephew who came to help her pack a few days ago can only be considered a temporary worker. The customer service representative who was hired in the past two days is the first formal employee.
"Zhou Mengjia? Oh, I know."
Zhou Anan still has some impression of the girl next door.
She was a person who looked like a goddess after putting on makeup and like a passerby after taking off makeup. Zhou Anan was amazed by her one evening when the lights were dim.
The contrast between before and after, in Xiao Qiaoqiao's words, is simply too terrifying.
We chatted about daily life, and then it was too late, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Smelling the scent of sunlight, Zhou Anan fell into a deep sleep.
"An An, when did you come back?"
"I just arrived last night, uncle. Are you going to work so early?"
"Well, I left some work behind yesterday. Let's go and finish it early today."
"Uncle, please take care of yourself."
"An An has grown up."
On the first morning after returning home, Zhou Anan came back from a run and saw her sturdy uncle pushing a bicycle out of the door. He stopped and said a few words.
Looking at her uncle's back, Zhou Anan couldn't help but frown.
My uncle in the previous life was completely exhausted from going out early and coming back late just for a little salary.
According to the time point, cousin Cheng Jie who was serving in the army should have returned, and he also brought back a wife who was five months pregnant from Guangzhou.
After the annoying argument, my aunt's husband and wife acquiesced to their daughter-in-law.
However, my uncle's family was not well off, and for the sake of his two unborn grandsons, my uncle worked hard to make money.
Even when working overtime in the factory, he was the most diligent. However, my uncle suffered a cerebral hemorrhage during one of his overtime jobs and died after failed rescue efforts.
Zhou Anan learned all this from his mother in his previous life. In the following years, he often dreamed of his uncle, and he felt so regretful when he thought about it.
In this life, Zhou Anan must rewrite the fate of her uncle.
"An An, come here for a moment."
“Here I come.”
On the first day back home, Zhou Anan helped her mother act as a customer service representative and packer, and became very familiar with the girl next door whose skin had not yet deteriorated due to excessive makeup.
"Your uncle said that he will host a dinner at Ziwei tomorrow night. It will be their family's early New Year's greeting."
After returning from the quarry, Zhou Youliang talked to his son while having dinner, so that his son wouldn't be delayed because he had to go out to play the next day.
"oh."
When it comes to the topic of her father, Zhou Anan is always concise and to the point.
There's no way. Talking too much will cause a conflict of ideas. Both father and son have very stubborn tempers.
"Mom, have you ever thought about selling our own brand trademark?"
Zhou Anan asked while helping her mother organize the thermos.
