Chapter 79: Make a Lot of Money
After dinner in the evening, the family held a family meeting around the stove.
Bai Zhenzhu discussed with her elder and second brothers and decided to go home.
"My second sister-in-law is pregnant and definitely can't go home for the New Year this year. I want to bring my parents and the children to the city to celebrate the New Year. The children have just finished their exams."
Xu Yin was touched. She and Liu Fang really wanted to have a child.
Sorry to say:
"You guys should go back for the New Year. Your second brother and I will stay in the city and help you look after the store."
Bai Chengxiang meant the same thing.
Xu Yin's due date is around the tenth day of the first lunar month, so she cannot move.
Besides, it would be difficult for her to go back with her big belly. She couldn't hide it anymore and it would be terrible if someone found out.
Bai Chenglei and Liu Fang had nothing to say and just listened to the girl.
White Pearl said again:
"I was thinking that I might as well bring my parents to the city so that the children can go to school in the city after the New Year."
"Besides, Mom can come over to take care of my second sister-in-law during her confinement and help take care of the baby. Mom can't leave Dad alone when she comes."
"Also, my brother and sister-in-law can learn from my mother's skill of making ten bowls of rice. The dishes in our restaurant should be constantly changing so that we can continue to attract customers to eat here."
The brothers and sisters whispered for a while, and finally agreed with Bai Zhenzhu's decision.
The clothing store's business was about to pick up, so Bai Zhenzhu decided to get the payment the next day and leave without further ado.
This time, Bai Zhenzhu replenished some of its best-selling winter styles and mainly ordered spring clothes, which will be available for sale after the Chinese New Year.
The store is fully stocked with goods in preparation for the peak season before the Spring Festival.
The profit in December was over 30,000, with the clothing store alone accounting for the bulk of it.
Thirty thousand of it was deposited in the bank, and the rest, plus the cash flow from the clothing store this month, was enough to cover the payment for the goods.
Bai Chenglei was worried about Bai Zhenzhu driving back alone, so he insisted on following her.
Liu Fang also said that it would be okay to have two people in the store, at most they would just be a little busy.
Xu Yin said she wanted to help out at the restaurant, but Liu Fang did not agree and told her that if she really couldn't stay idle, she could go and watch the clothing store.
The clothes in the store are expensive. If someone steals one, it will cost hundreds of dollars.
In the end, Xu Yin went to take charge of the clothing store.
The next day, Bai Zhenzhu went to remit the payment as soon as the bank opened.
Then I packed some braised chicken and duck from the braised meat shop and went to the general store to buy canned candies and other things that were not available in town.
Finally, he found a place to fill up the gas and set off with Bai Chenglei and Shuo Shuo.
It hasn't rained recently, so the road is easier to walk on.
However, Bai Zhenzhu still drove relatively slowly. It took her four hours, while other buses took three hours to drive.
It was almost two o'clock when we arrived at Jinfeng Village.
The car couldn't reach the Bai family, so Bai Zhenzhu parked the car in front of the village chief's house. ×
The village chief has a tractor and his family built a road to his doorstep.
The village chief's wife happened to be tidying up the vegetable garden behind the house. When she saw a red car parked in front of her house, she quickly dropped the grass in her hand and ran over.
Seeing Bai Zhenzhu coming down from the cab, the village head's wife's eyes almost popped out:
"Isn't this Pearl? Oh, you bought such a beautiful car?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and greeted:
"Miss, are you pulling out weeds?"
Bai Chenglei and Shuo Shuo also got out of the car.
Shuo Shuo shouted "Hello, mother-in-law" to the village chief's wife, which made her very happy.
"Pearl, your son really looks more and more like you. He's so cute."
"Cheng Lei, you're back too? Where are Cheng Xiang and his wife?"
Bai Chenglei put it succinctly:
"Chengxiang and the others are at work, so we have something to do when we come back."
Bai Zhenzhu took a braised chicken, a bag of sugar and a can of milk powder from the car and handed them to the village chief's wife:
"Auntie, please take this as a small token of my appreciation. I parked my car in front of your house, but I don't know if it will block the road."
The village chief's wife couldn't stop smiling. Every time Zhenzhu came back, she would come to her house to greet her. She had never seen anyone so tactful.
Although she is divorced and has a child, in her opinion, no man in the village is worthy of her.
Look at her little face, she is getting more and more beautiful, and she is so rich.
It’s a pity that she is not their own daughter. Bai Dahai and Li Xiufen are so lucky.
He took the things and said:
"Don't block the road. Oh, your car is very expensive, right?"
"Pearl, you are amazing. You must have made a lot of money, right? Come on, come to my house and sit down. I'll make tea for you."
White Pearl declined:
"No, ma'am, go and do your thing."
The village head's wife knew that they were anxious to get home, so she stood at the edge of the courtyard and shouted to the other side:
"Xiufen! Xiufen, your Pearl is back."
Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Chenglei packed up the things in the car, locked the car, and took Shuo Shuo back to the Bai family.
Liu Xiufen and several children vaguely heard someone shouting "Pearl is back" and they were a little bit unbelieving.
The children had good eyesight and saw from afar that Bai Zhenzhu and the other two were walking home from the ridge of the field. They shouted excitedly:
"Grandma, it's my aunt who's back, along with my dad and Shuo Shuo."
After saying that, the children ran towards Bai Zhenzhu and the other two like crazy.
Shuo Shuo was like a little cannonball, shooting towards his brothers.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I'm back!"
Li Xiufen was weeding in the green onion field. She heard Shuo Shuo's voice and happily threw away her sickle.
"Why are you back?"
Shuo Shuo said in a crisp voice:
"My uncle and I came back in my mother's car. Mother-in-law, my mother can drive. My mother has a car. My mother is amazing."
"Look, mother-in-law, that red car belongs to my mother."
Li Xiufen looked in the direction where Shuo Shuo's little hand was holding and saw a red car parked next to the village chief's house.
My heart trembled:
"Pearl, is that car yours?"
Bai Zhenzhu said "hmm" and explained:
"I was doing business with someone and I traded the blueprints for it."
There is nothing wrong with that. Bai Chenglei nodded beside him:
"Yes mom, Pearl is amazing."
The eldest son has always been honest, so Li Xiufen believed what he said.
Then he said, "You haven't eaten yet? Come home and I'll make you some noodles."
I picked a handful of onions from the ground.
A few boys took Shuo Shuo to see the cars.
Li Xiufen lit a fire and boiled water, then went to cut a piece of bacon.
He kept on talking:
"This year your father and I killed both pigs. We didn't sell them, but made bacon out of them."
"Your eldest brother and second brother's families only killed one pig each and sold the rest."
"When the weather warms up in the spring, your father and I will catch two pigs and raise them for meat."
"By the way, Minmin's clothing store is doing pretty well. She even gave me and your dad two sets of clothes. They're so nice, we couldn't bear to wear them."
Bai Zhenzhu told the purpose of her return.
Li Xiufen was a little confused:
"Pearl, do you mean that your father and I will also live in the city from now on?"
Bai Zhenzhu knew what her mother was thinking.
Old people work hard all their lives and cannot rest.
They like to be needed by their children and are afraid that they will become a burden.
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Yes, my second sister-in-law wants to run a business, and the child needs someone to take care of him."
"And your older grandchildren are going to school in the city too, so they'll need someone to cook for them."
