Chapter 77 Life Circumstances and Choices
"Young man, you are back. I have prepared a midnight snack for you. Come and eat it."
Wang Jingyu came down from the second floor upon hearing the door open. He looked at his son's thin face and felt distressed.
"Mom, is the cup business on Taobao good?"
While eating the rice cakes cooked by her mother, Zhou Anan looked at the pile of express delivery slips in the room where the computer was and asked with a smile.
Sometimes asking questions even though you already know the answer is a strategy that can give people a sense of accomplishment.
"That's right. Your mother opened a Taobao store and it became very popular. Some people even came to her house to collect the parcels."
Zhou Youliang, who was drinking hot water, responded with emotion on his face.
Ever since my son helped his wife open this Taobao store, his wife has become more and more powerful at home.
Apart from going to the quarry every day to keep accounts and collect debts, my wife doesn't even have time to cook.
However, the revenue from that Taobao store still surprised Zhou Youliang.
Last month alone, my wife earned more than 6,000 yuan, and business is getting better and better.
Originally, he had asked someone to borrow a small truck to help him deliver the goods to the courier company, but now some courier companies have taken the initiative to come to his door to collect the goods. It is really confusing.
“That’s great.”
I didn't expect my mother to resolve the situation so quickly. Zhou Anan felt relieved and thought that many things in the future would not repeat the mistakes of the previous life.
"It's all thanks to our young man who opened such a good shop for mom."
Speaking of this, Wang Jingyu smiled and patted the shoulder of the greatest contributor.
Originally, apart from collecting bills and keeping accounts, growing some vegetables, and staying at home watching TV, Wang Jingyu's life was still very monotonous.
Now that he has a Taobao store, Wang Jingyu seems to have found his backbone and is full of energy every day.
Every increase in business adds color to her life.
"Don't you see whose son I am? Oh, Mom, don't sit in front of the computer all the time. You need to get up and walk around more to prevent a herniated disc."
In response to this, Zhou Anan boasted a little bit and did not forget to care about her mother.
After graduating from high school, my mother gave up the opportunity to go to college and married my father, who only had primary school education, because my grandparents had to support my eldest uncle's education.
In terms of knowledge, my well-educated mother should not be like rural women who gossip about family matters for no reason.
To be honest, Zhou Anan felt that if he was reborn eighteen years earlier, it would not be certain whether he would exist or not.
"I see. I even bought a pillow online and put it on the chair so I don't feel tired when sitting in front of the computer."
Hearing his son's concern, Wang Jingyu smiled and introduced the "recliner magic tool" he bought online.
Wang Jingyu, who originally had a high level of education, quickly absorbed new things after being exposed to online shopping. He has bought quite a few small household "artifacts" for his home these days.
"Oh, that requires more movement as well."
Although Zhou Anan was very satisfied with her mother's fashion sense, she still gave her some worried reminder.
He doesn't want his mother to ruin her body just to make a little money.
With the rise of computers in recent years, many people who sit in front of computers for a long time have developed some spinal diseases. In addition, my mother is not young anymore, so I have to be on guard.
The best way, naturally, is to find a few customer service representatives to sit in front of the computer and take orders.
But nowadays, given the scale of my mother's small Taobao store, it is difficult to hire a customer service representative, let alone a packer. I can only hope that my mother's Taobao store can grow quickly and she can hire people sooner.
Unexpectedly, I opened a Taobao store for my mother just to keep her from being too bored. Now that the Taobao store business is doing well, I have more troubles.
However, this kind of thing is too far-sighted, it is better to let nature take its course.
"I know, I know."
Wang Jingyu cleaned up the dishes with a smile, and felt better as he felt his son's care.
It was late at night, and smelling the sunlight on the quilt, Zhou Anan fell into a comfortable sleep.
“Hoo, hoo.”
Running on the country road, Zhou Anan exhaled gently, constantly adjusting her breathing.
After a long morning run, Zhou Anan's physical condition is now completely different from before. She can even run five kilometers, and there are slight traces of muscle on her arms and stomach.
The only depressing thing is that Zhou Anan’s height, which worries her, has not improved much.
Thinking about his maximum height of 166.5cm in his previous life, Zhou Anan wiped away tears of sadness. He had originally run two circles around the village, but now he felt endless motivation and continued running.
"Grandpa, grandma, have you had breakfast?"
On the way home from running, Zhou Anan stopped by to visit her grandparents.
"An An is here. Come here. Grandma just picked some corn from the field. It's ripe. Have one."
Seeing his eldest grandson coming back, Zhou Fugen greeted him warmly and took a hot corn from the pot and handed it to him.
"oh."
Zhou Anan had already brushed her teeth before getting up, so she didn't have any scruples and just took it and started eating.
The sweet corn that grandma grows herself is still very sweet.
Especially when looking at his grandfather who was still in good health, Zhou Anan felt infinitely comforted.
There is still time for everything to change.
After chatting with her grandparents for about half an hour, Zhou Anan returned home, ate the vermicelli soup her mother had prepared, and watched the news on TV. A leisurely day began.
"An An, let's go hiking in Feilong Mountain, do you want to go?"
After helping her mother as a free customer service for an hour, Zhou Anan received a call from Ying Chengcheng. She accepted the call out of boredom.
Feilong Mountain is located on the edge of Tongxiang, to which Zhoujia Village belongs, about four or five kilometers away from Zhoujia Village. Ying Chengcheng, Li Yuhan and more than a dozen other high school classmates came here by bicycle from the city.
Zhou Anan took advantage of the free Tongxiang bus, and the driver was his uncle-in-law.
Sitting on the bus to Tongxiang, Zhou Anan thought of her uncle-in-law's partner - her uncle-in-law's sister. Two years ago, she had asked her father to partner with her to buy a bus for the Lizhou-Wuzhou route. Their family had pooled the money, but at the last minute her uncle-in-law's sister changed her mind and bought a bus for the Tongxiang route together with her uncle-in-law and several others.
Now, three years later, the price of the Wuzhou bus, which was originally worth 300,000 yuan, has risen to 600,000 yuan, with an annual profit of 200,000 yuan. The price of the Tongxiang bus has dropped from 200,000 yuan to about 150,000 yuan, and the annual profit is only 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
In a few years, Wuzhou Bus will soar to three million, with annual profits of four or five hundred thousand.
As for the Tongxiang buses, with the increase in the number of private cars, fewer and fewer people took the buses. When they were finally bought back by the city government, they cost more than 100,000 yuan. The three buses on the entire line cost more than 100,000 yuan in total.
Therefore, the circumstances and choices in life are really sad.
"An An, we're here. Just two or three hundred meters from here you'll reach the intersection of Feilong Mountain."
Stopping at a fork in the road, Chen Wei explained everything in detail to his nephew, fearing that he might take the wrong path.
"Okay, goodbye, uncle."
After getting off the car and waving goodbye, Zhou Anan walked towards a country road.
