While picking and choosing in the cloakroom, Zhou Xiang heard someone calling "Fifth Aunt". He answered and walked out of the room, only to see Liu Xiuying coming over with a dark and thin woman.
"Fifth Aunt." The woman shouted when she saw Zhou Xiang.
"Zhou Mei?" Zhou Xiang was surprised.
"Yes!" Zhou Mei grinned, "Don't you recognize me?"
"Yeah!" Zhou Xiang nodded. "It's changed so much that I wouldn't recognize it even if I walked across from it."
"It's enough for me to recognize Fifth Aunt! As long as you still remember me." Zhou Mei's eyes were moist.
"Come in, let's talk," Zhou Xiang took Zhou Mei's hand and called Liu Xiuying to join him. "I'm sorting out clothes. Many of them still have their tags on! It's not embarrassing for you to take them back."
"Look at what Fifth Aunt said, your clothes are all good, and everyone is going crazy for them. I saw the clothes my sister was wearing, and I got interested. I used my familiarity with Fifth Aunt to get them first, but I didn't expect to get them before Zhou Wang."
Zhou Mei spoke briskly, her eyes bright. The excitement she had just felt had subsided, leaving only a smile and tenacity.
Zhou Xiang was also relieved. It seemed that Zhou Wang was right when he said that Zhou Mei had become stronger. She looked like a straightforward rural woman.
"I picked out all these clothes. Take a look!" Zhou Xiang pointed at the pile on the massage bed. "Don't show off when you go back. I'm afraid everyone will come to me to ask for my old clothes. I really don't have that many."
"Haha, no, no," Zhou Mei laughed heartily, "Just keep quiet and make a fortune!"
The two of them picked for a while, but didn't take them all greedily. In case someone really came to ask for them, Fifth Aunt could leave some for others.
The two women each carried a snakeskin bag of clothes (the snakeskin bags were specially brought by Zhou Wang) and returned to the living room contentedly.
In the living room, there was a man and a boy of seven or eight years old. The man was also dark and thin, while the boy was only slightly darker, but he was quite strong. When he saw Zhou Xiang, he immediately stood up.
"Fifth Aunt."
"Fifth aunt."
"Hey, hey," Zhou Xiang raised his hand and pressed downwards, "Sit down, sit down, don't be so polite."
After the father and son sat down, they seemed very awkward. Zhou wanted to signal Ling Ran and the children to spend more time with the father and son, while he chatted with Zhou Mei and talked about some family matters.
Zhou Mei married into a village on the edge of Hao Town. Her parents-in-law were quite open-minded. She was the second of two brothers. Her eldest sister-in-law was a bit stingy. After the third brother got married, they divided the family property. She and her husband contracted several hundred acres of land and used machinery for harvesting. They were considered a relatively wealthy family in the village.
Zhou Xiang patted Zhou Mei on the shoulder and said, "I finally understand what Zhou Wang meant when he said you've become more powerful."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Mei asked, staring at Zhou Wang fiercely.
Zhou Xiang also looked at Zhou Wang, "He's just envious. He envies that you can endure hardships and make money."
Hahahaha, the three women laughed arrogantly.
Zhou Wang just touched his nose. He didn't dare to say much. One was the aunt who he couldn't afford to offend, one was the cousin who grew up with him and became aggressive, and one was his wife. He just had to be the one who was laughed at.
After lunch, they chatted until three o'clock, and then Zhou Mei reluctantly left with her husband and children.
The sixth and seventh days of the Lunar New Year are the time to return to work, and the streets of the town gradually become lively again.
Zhou Xiang started to tinker with the amusement park on the second floor of the mall. After more than ten years, not only was the decoration outdated, the bumper cars and carousels inside were worn out, and it also felt monotonous. So Guo Xuehua was replaced by Zhou Xiang.
At this moment, Zhou Xiang, Guo Xuehua, and Zhou Nian were standing at the entrance of the second floor. There were only about ten people playing in the amusement park.
"Auntie Guo, look at this floor. The income is the smallest. The children have some spare money, but there are very few customers. Renovating and adding more entertainment equipment is the most important thing at the moment.
I plan to give these to you and Zhou Nian. You can go to Beijing and Shencheng to see what other people's indoor amusement parks are like. By the way, you can also inquire about equipment manufacturers and companies that do this kind of special decoration. The cost is not a big deal, but you must achieve the effect, so that the place is full every day and reservations are required."
"Ah?" Guo Xuehua was surprised. "Can I, can I do this?"
She had been living in the kitchen for half her life, so why did Miss Zhou suddenly push her into a position that she was not familiar with?
"Yes!" Zhou Xiang nodded confidently. "Think about the first time you came to my house to recruit a worker, think about how you were bullied by the Zhu family, and think about your growth over the years, and your recent confrontation with Xia Cuilan, where you never lost. I believe you can do it.
You and Zhou Nian are both people I trust. You will be the chief manager and Zhou Nian will be the deputy manager. Together, you two managers will build the indoor amusement park for me. The subsequent recruitment will also be your responsibility. I will manage you two."
Manager? Guo Xuehua felt as if he heard thunder, his ears rumbling, his mind blank. Could she be a manager?
"Okay," Zhou Nian accepted it quickly. "Since you trust me and Aunt Guo, we can't let you down. We will definitely build this well.
To be honest, business has been getting worse over the past couple of years, and I'm getting anxious. The few hundred yuan I make every day isn't enough to cover the electricity bill and my salary, but I don't know how to boost it. Now that you've given us the direction, we just need to know where to focus our efforts."
"Nian Nian!" Guo Xuehua was surprised, "I don't have confidence. I don't understand this."
"I don't really understand it either! We learn by doing."
Zhou Xiang smiled. "Yes, Zhou Nian's idea is right. Who doesn't have a first time?"
