"What are you thinking about, wife?" Yang Zi looked at me with amusement. "I do value money, but that's because I'm afraid that we will spend all our money lavishly and then have to tighten our belts to live."
He hugged me and said, "Although I often cheated on my work before we separated, when did I ever let you and the two children suffer any injustice?"
"The reason why I value money is simply because I'm afraid that you will starve after you run out of money. But what do we have to be afraid of now? Following Lao Si and Nian Nian, are we still afraid of not making money?"
So that's why.
I knew it, he is so tight on money, but he never restricts me from spending money.
For a moment, I was so touched that I snuggled in his arms, hooked my finger around his, and said to him, "Let's buy this house. At worst, we can make money again after buying it."
We discussed it and decided to buy it.
Originally, I was thinking that Zhang Xiangyun would also go with us, and for the sake of the two children, I could let her stay in our house.
Who knew that she would borrow money from Nian Nian to buy a house.
Fortunately, Yang Zi and I decided to buy a house, otherwise we would not be as courageous as her. I was relieved.
We were all very satisfied with the house that Nian Nian's father chose for us, but we were troubled about which yard to choose.
I have to say that houses in the city are really expensive. A yard this big could be bought in our commune for a maximum of three or four hundred yuan.
After buying the house, we only had a few hundred dollars left.
We are all very optimistic and don’t feel that we are going to have hard times. On the contrary, we are full of hope for the future.
While Nian Nian was in school, she did not forget to quickly build her career. We no longer run the breakfast shop as a store, but instead made it a restaurant where customers can dine in or take out.
You need to bring your own lunch box for takeout.
A ready-to-wear clothing store also opened on the other side. The store only hung some carefully designed handmade clothes. It only accepted pre-orders and did not sell directly.
Regular customers of the clothing store in Xi County also occasionally place orders by phone.
Zhang Xiangyun is not good at communicating with others, so I have to run between the two. I am responsible for the operation of the breakfast shop and the external contacts of the garment store. I was so busy that I felt dizzy.
Being busy has its benefits. In Suicheng, a month's income is five or six times or even more than that in Xi County.
Not only me, but also our Yangzi's income has increased, with the work experience in Xi County and what we have learned together.
For things we knew before, we became proficient at them; for things we didn’t know before, we turned book knowledge into practical experience, and little by little, we transformed ourselves into experienced businessmen.
Lao Si and Nian Nian both looked at my husband and me with new eyes. I was so proud of myself during that time that my tail was almost sticking up in the air.
Because she was too busy and there was no one she could trust in Suicheng, she called Gou Yanshun over to share some of the burden with me.
Although the income is a little less, if I focus on one thing, it is still much more than half of what I earned before.
The income is only about two-thirds of what it was before, but it’s much easier now.
The biggest shock to me finally happened.
Zhang Xiangyun became an external teacher at Suicheng University!
I felt like the sky had fallen on me. I had studied really hard, but I couldn't sew as many clothes as she could, even though the clothes she sewed were really pretty.
How come I am so good at business, but Suicheng University doesn't hire me as a teacher? I can teach them how to do business, and I can also teach them how to learn to manage talents.
But then I thought, forget it. They can't reach my level, so there's no point in learning them.
Soon, a turning point in my life came.
Zhang Xiangyun was laughed at by students because of some inaccurate characters in her calligraphy. It was Nian Nian who came to her aid and calmed the situation down, thus avoiding a big joke.
Nian Nian said that she had to start learning literacy, and she was not confident that others could teach her, so she finally found me since I had some free time during this period.
"Third sister-in-law, you must help this time. Second sister-in-law will definitely not be free to go to the literacy class. You should be more attentive and try your best to bring her out."
When Nian Nian handed Zhang Xiangyun to me, she gave me a task: to teach her to write her own name within three days, and to teach her to recognize and write some common characters proficiently within a month.
Oh, it takes three days to write my own name? When I first started learning, I was much faster than her. I learned to recognize my own name in a short while.
I could finish writing it on the same day, even though it wasn’t very good.
In just one month, I can recognize many, many characters, let alone the commonly used characters.
It's not that I look down on her, but there's no comparison between her and me.
So what if I became a teacher at Suicheng University? I still have to teach her how to read.
I feel completely balanced.
Although I didn't like her very much, I still tried my best to teach her. After all, we were a family, and it would be embarrassing for us if she was ridiculed outside.
It's just that during the teaching process, I would still say a few words to her from time to time: "I asked you to learn to read before, your Jianhui's academic performance is so good, why didn't you learn it? Now you are at the last minute and you are cramming."
She was very humble. Not only did she not refute me, she also kept agreeing with what I said. Her words almost praised me to the sky.
Okay, okay, since she is so self-aware, I can hate her less.
Zhang Xiangyun is a little stupid, but she is willing to learn. Except for the time she makes clothes and teaches at school, she spends the rest of the time learning from me.
