1981.
However, two years have passed and the social landscape has changed dramatically.
Lesbians on the street started wearing all kinds of brightly colored skirts. Bell-bottom pants and frog-eye glasses became popular. With curly hair and a tape recorder on their shoulders, they looked like fashion icons just walking on the street.
Just as Qin Hanshu expected, Qin Feiyang had a good business sense.
He hasn't resigned yet, but he registered as a self-employed business owner under the name of Cao Jing and opened a store selling small electrical appliances, such as radios and electric fans.
Although business is now open, most people are very timid, fearing that they will be in trouble if the policy changes one day. Also, constrained by ideas, those with formal jobs look down on small vendors.
Therefore, most of the people doing business at this time were jobless vagrants who had no choice but to find a way to make a living.
Qin Feiyang didn't care. His salary after changing his job was not high to begin with, and he didn't have any benefits. Cao Jing's salary was not high either.
If you want to give your family a good life, you have to find a way to make extra money.
Now that the country is open, we can't miss this opportunity.
After hearing Qin Feiyang's idea, Qin Hanshu immediately decided to join.
She had been waiting for this day and had invested in Qin Feiyang's business from the very beginning.
Qin Feiyang naturally agreed readily. He had the capital, but if he took it all out, he would empty his family's savings. After all, doing business has risks, so it would be good to have one more person to share the burden.
He knew that his uncle had left a dividend for his sister. Although he didn't know the exact amount, it was definitely considerable.
And there is my brother-in-law, who has a high salary and a stable job, so he can provide a safety net.
Qin Hanshu felt a little guilty in her heart. She knew Qin Feiyang's abilities. Even without her, Qin Feiyang would succeed.
She had foresight and invested money to get a piece of the pie, and psychologically she felt like she was taking advantage of her brother.
So he planned to invest more money and give up some shares to reduce Qin Feiyang's burden as much as possible.
However, Qin Feiyang refused.
No matter what is dealt with, he can't take advantage of his sister!
After the store opened, business was not as booming as expected at first.
After thinking about it, Qin Feiyang felt that the problem lay with the product.
The things he sells aren't rare enough.
Although tickets were required for radio and electric fans, they were not hard to come by because they were produced in large quantities domestically.
The truly rare and hard-to-buy items are those with higher technological content, such as televisions and refrigerators, which are in short supply.
And to be honest, the quality of those produced abroad is indeed better at this time.
Even though the price is high, there are still many people rushing to buy it.
Qin Feiyang was able to find the source of goods, but this would require investing even more money.
When Qin Feiyang went to Qin Hanshu to discuss the matter, Qin Hanshu didn't think much about it and decided to support Qin Feiyang in doing it and gave him another 80,000 yuan.
After investing money in Qin Feiyang, Qin Hanshu still said something to Zhou Weiguang.
Although Zhou Weiguang had no interest in doing business, he trusted Qin Hanshu's character and knew that she would not do anything reckless, so he smiled and said, "All our family's money is under your control, so you can make the decision."
He just needs to work hard and make money. There is really no need to waste energy on other things.
Qin Hanshu said, "I didn't touch your salary. I gave a total of 90,000 to my brother. It was all left to me by my father."
Zhou Weiguang was drinking water and almost spit it out, "Ninety thousand??"
He has been in the army for all these years, but he hasn't earned more than 90,000 yuan in total.
Qin Hanshu then explained.
"...For such a large factory, the dividends from ten years or so add up to a lot."
Zhou Weiguang was stunned and didn't come to his senses.
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Are you scared? I won't tell you the exact amount of the dividend, so as not to scare you silly."
The "ten thousand yuan households" had just appeared in society. In the eyes of the public, having a deposit of ten thousand yuan was a symbol of wealth. The amount of money she had was indeed scary enough.
Zhou Weiguang didn't ask any more questions, because he already knew that his wife was a rich woman.
To be honest, Zhou Weiguang felt frustrated for the first time in his life. He thought he was a big man who supported the family and was the pillar of the family.
But now he realized that his salary was just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of others.
well......
This little thought lingered in my mind until I went to work the next day.
Fan Hongxia's lover, Lao Chen, was promoted to deputy regiment commander in the same year as Zhou Weiguang, but Zhou Weiguang has now become a full regiment commander, and Lao Chen has remained in the same position and has become Zhou Weiguang's subordinate.
However, the two of them have been friends for a long time, and usually the concept of superiors and subordinates is not too strong. After Lao Chen finished reporting his work, he saw that Zhou Weiguang was frowning, so he smiled and said:
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your wife?"
He also comforted her: "It's okay. It's common for couples to quarrel. Your sister-in-law and I quarrel every other day."
Zhou Weiguang shook his head and said nothing.
Old Chen asked again, "Are you worried about your superiors asking you to go to the Third Regiment?"
The district intended to transfer Zhou Weiguang to the Third Regiment, which was a combat unit stationed at a strategic location seven kilometers away.
Letting Zhou Weiguang go is undoubtedly a kind of training and cultivation.
Zhou Weiguang had indeed learned yesterday that his wife was very rich and had thought about this work matter.
He was a little hesitant at first, because he would not be able to go home every day after the transfer. It would be good if he could see his wife and children once a month, and such days would definitely last for several years.
He couldn't bear to do it.
But what happened yesterday...made Zhou Weiguang change his mind.
His wife is already richer than him. If he can't achieve something at work, what kind of man is he?
Zhou Weiguang sighed and said, "Yes, I am hesitating."
Lao Chen smiled and said, "Captain Zhou, we men should still put our careers first, especially in our special profession. It's a great thing that you can get the attention of the higher-ups. Look at me, I haven't even had this opportunity yet."
"Don't let your feelings get in the way and let this opportunity slip away. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it later."
I understand the reason.
Zhou Weiguang always thought that he was a very career-oriented person, so much so that it surpassed everything else in life. This was evidenced by the fact that he joined the army for ten years without returning home.
But after getting married, he found that he had something to rival his career.
While Zhou Weiguang was hesitating, Qin Hanshu also heard about this from Fan Hongxia.
She took the initiative to talk to Zhou Weiguang.
"You should go. Opportunities in life are limited. If you miss them, there may not be another chance."
Zhou Weiguang looked at her and said, "It will be hard for us to meet in the future."
The child is secondary. He feels uncomfortable when he thinks that he can no longer hold his wife to sleep every night.
Qin Hanshu said, "Seeing each other once a month, or once every two months, is very common for your profession. Think about those grassroots soldiers who can't go home for several years. They only get to see their partners for a few days every year. Our relationship is much stronger. You should be content."
These words made Zhou Weiguang feel ashamed.
However, Qin Hanshu was too rational and didn't seem to be reluctant to part with him at all, which made Zhou Weiguang, a grown man, feel a little aggrieved.
His wife's feelings for him are not as deep as his.
The night before leaving, Zhou Weiguang pestered Qin Hanshu until the middle of the night, not caring whether Gu Yan outside would hear it or not, and forced Qin Hanshu to say countless times - Hubby, I can't bear to leave you!
