Chapter 957 What gift do you want?
"Uncle."
Hearing her uncle's shouting, Zhou Anan took two quick steps and entered the other's house.
It has to be said that this newly built house is different from the old one. The windows are bright and clean, and if it weren't for the piles of messy goods, it would be quite comfortable to look at.
However, my uncle's new house is also the most fashionable house within a radius of 200 meters.
Most of the rest are old houses and brick houses built a few years ago. My uncle's new house with whitewashed exterior walls and bay windows stands out from the crowd.
"An An, what do you think of me opening a restaurant here?"
After taking a piece of watermelon from the refrigerator for his nephew, Zhou Youfa consulted the college student in his family about his future development.
My eldest brother's quarry is basically facing closure, and he doesn't have much work transporting stones anymore. Recently, he has been helping his wife with purchasing and shipping goods.
Fortunately, his wife's online store business is doing well, making a profit of tens of thousands of yuan a month. His son is also very hardworking and has even opened his own milk tea shop, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
However, as the head of the family, Zhou Youfa did not want to be said to be inferior to his wife, so he was eager to find a way to make a living. Looking at the street of old houses being renovated a few dozen meters away, he thought about finding a way to make a living.
He thought that if the old house attracted many customers after being renovated, then given its prime location, it would not be a loss to open a restaurant there.
"That's fine, but you can't cook, uncle. Also, if your house becomes a restaurant, what will happen to my goods?"
Zhou Anan didn't expect that her uncle, who was always idle, would have such a good idea. She naturally supported it, but she also raised some problems.
If nothing unexpected happens, the renovation of the old houses in the village will usher in a wave of popularity. Coupled with a series of subsequent developments in the village, opening a restaurant will definitely be a profitable business.
However, in his memory, his uncle first learned the iron gate business, then opened a tire repair shop, and then drove a car to transport stones, but he never had the skill to cook.
Also, my aunt's online store has been taking off, and the placement of goods is also a problem.
"I can't cook, but Zhou Shun's uncle can. We can open a restaurant together. We can rent three houses in the village for your aunt's goods. The rent is only a few thousand yuan a year."
Zhou Youfa, who had already thought about his nephew's question, quickly answered it and then looked at the other party with a puzzled expression.
From childhood to adulthood, his eldest brother helped him arrange everything for him. Even though he is almost forty years old now, there are not many important things that he really makes the decision on.
With verbal support from his eldest nephew, a college student in the family, he can feel more confident.
“I think it’s feasible.”
After listening to his uncle's plan, Zhou Anan voted in favor.
To be honest, Zhou Anan was surprised that her uncle, who usually lived a lazy life and spent money frugally, had such a high level of awareness. She felt that she would support whatever decision he made.
What's more, the family conditions are good. Even if the restaurant makes a loss, I don't have to pay rent for my uncle's house, so how much loss can I make?
When that time really comes, it will be easy for him to help arrange a job for his uncle.
"I told you I could do it. I'll talk to your aunt tonight. It's getting late. How about you have dinner at my house?"
Zhou Youfa was very excited to get the verbal support from his eldest nephew. He wanted to hold a family meeting with his wife right away to set the rules for opening the restaurant.
"No, my mother has cooked dinner at home."
After politely declining her uncle's kindness, Zhou Anan took a short stroll around the village and then walked slowly home. Before she got home, she received a call from her mother asking her to have dinner.
Although my mother's online store is booming, she has some free time because the logistics and express delivery company affiliated with JD Mall has improved its service and is now providing door-to-door delivery of goods.
"Mom, where's Dad?"
After returning home, Zhou Anan greeted her grandparents on the first floor and went upstairs. As a result, she did not see her father in the restaurant.
"He's been looking for a new investment project recently. He doesn't need to deliver goods anymore, so he's not home all day long."
Speaking of her husband, Wang Jingyu couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, but there was no hint of complaint in her words.
Before she opened her online store, her husband was the breadwinner of the family. Now that he wanted to find a new way to make a living, Wang Jingyu naturally had no objection.
"oh."
After hearing what her mother said, Zhou Anan subconsciously thought of the experience of her father being cheated out of 200,000 yuan in investment funds in her previous life. She opened her mouth, but in the end didn't say much.
There is no basis for such predictions.
After all, my dad's childhood friend disguised himself very well and was a celebrity in their village. Who would have thought that the freight station with an annual income of 500,000 yuan was just an empty shell.
It can't be said to be an empty shell, but that person had long ago changed the owner of the freight station to his own relatives, separating it from his own debts.
I still remember that after my father found out he was cheated, he went to the family's house and worked hard to collect the debt for several months. In the end, he only got back an old Honda to pay off the debt, which meant he only got back 100,000 yuan out of 200,000 yuan.
My dad’s childhood friend was even worse off. He lost all his 200,000 yuan investment and had to borrow money from his younger brother for his son’s wedding gift. He then worked for several years to pay off the debt. It was really…
At this point in time, I can only remind my father to ask my uncle, who is the deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, to check the other party's background, and leave the rest to fate.
At most, the loss would be only 200,000.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
The cell phone rang. Wang Jingyu wiped his hands, picked up the phone and said a few words. After hanging up, he said to his son, "Your father won't be home for dinner today, so let's eat together. By the way, I'll bring a bowl of soybean soup to your grandparents first."
"Mom, let me serve it."
How could Zhou Anan let her mother, who had worked hard all day, do something like this? She took the initiative to bring a big bowl of soybean and pork ribs soup downstairs to her grandparents, and received a lot of praise.
"Mom, I just went to the square and heard my uncle say that he wanted to open a restaurant. I think this is a good idea."
While eating the loving meal prepared by her mother, Zhou Anan casually talked about her uncle.
Compared to him as a college student, his mother, the 'richest' in the family, has more say. If she gives a helping hand, his uncle will most likely succeed in opening a restaurant.
However, my mother, who has always been more steady and seldom meddles in other people's affairs, has also avoided many unnecessary neighborhood conflicts.
"Well, I heard from your father that it's rare for your uncle to be so proactive in wanting to do business. Why, do you also think it's a good idea for your uncle to open a restaurant?"
After hearing what his son said, Wang Jingyu, who didn't want to meddle in his brother-in-law's family affairs, made a simple comment.
"According to Zhou Xiaoke's development plan, our village will definitely have a lot of tourists in the future. It would be perfect to open a restaurant at the location of my uncle's house."
"If the village can really develop, what you said is indeed true."
"Mom, what business is Dad going to invest in?"
Without talking much about his uncle's family, Zhou Anan changed the subject at the right time. This was all he could do.
"It's a shipping station, opened by a friend of your uncle Xinqi..."
Zhou Anan wanted to talk to her dad about his new investment, but she waited until ten o'clock and still didn't see him, so she went back to her room to sleep.
It was a rare occasion that Zhou Anan stayed quietly at home for two days, living the life of a stay-at-home. But on the third day, he couldn't stand it anymore and rushed back to Lucheng.
After talking about the fact that she had set up her own training department, Zhou Anan found that her freedom increased a lot. She didn't even need to make up a reason to go out. If she had known this, she should have confessed to her parents earlier.
"Happy birthday, Sister Hui."
In the small private room of Lucheng International Hotel, candlelight flickered. Zhou Anan raised the red wine glass in her hand and congratulated the other party on his 24th birthday.
Under the candlelight, the young lady in a black silk dress has the graceful temperament of a beautiful girl next door. The thin shoulder straps and V-neckline show her delicate collarbone well, and paired with her fair skin, it is breathtaking.
"Thanks."
Zhu Huihui raised her glass and clinked it with the other person. With a smile on her face, she happily drank the small glass of red wine.
This was her first time celebrating her birthday with the other person, so it was very memorable.
The sound of violin music echoed in the box. The temperature slowly rose as the man and woman were alone together.
"What gift did you prepare for me today?"
Given their relationship, Zhu Huihui was not polite at all when asking about gifts.
"For you."
Handing over a small box, Zhou Anan looked at the young lady with a blushing face and his heart beat faster.
"Can I have a present?"
Without opening the small box that was obviously jewelry, Zhu Huihui stood up, walked to the other person, leaned over and whispered in the other person's ear.
Feeling the gentle breeze by her ears and seeing the unobstructed view in front of her, Zhou Anan's eyes were burning with heat, and her voice became a little rough: "What gift do you want?"
