Chapter 36 Choice
When men and women work together, the work becomes less tiring.
This statement is indeed correct.
Wang Xiuren climbed up to sweep the dust, sweep the floor and mop the floor. Lin Qiu wiped the doors, windows and furniture clean. Maybe the previous tenant rarely used the kitchen, so the two of them cleaned it up quickly together.
Lin Qiu left a window open for ventilation. Wang Xiuren held Lin Shan, who began to yawn, in his arms, locked the door and went back to the rented house.
After helping Wang Shan take a bath and putting her to bed, Lin Qiu began to clear his mind.
Although she had experiences from her previous life, she only had a vague understanding of many things or had only heard them from others. I myself have a low level of education, and I spent most of the 1990s in the countryside raising children. I only know that there were many opportunities at that time, but I can’t really say what exactly they were. The only thing she is sure of is that the value of the house she buys will appreciate, and she is working towards this goal.
Now that the landlord suddenly mentioned the newsstand to his family and gave him that last reminder, Lin Qiu believed that the landlord would not be making a fuss and was most likely giving him directions.
When Wang Xiuren came out of the shower, he saw Lin Qiu sitting on the edge of the bed, frowning, thinking about something, and the sheets were wrinkled.
"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed!"
Wang Xiuren patted Lin Qiu's shoulder gently, which frightened Lin Qiu so much that he shivered.
"Snap"
Lin Qiu angrily knocked his hand away, "You're scaring me, you're scaring me to death! Don't you know that?"
"You can't blame me for this!" Wang Xiuren said innocently, "I called you several times but you didn't respond. What were you thinking?"
"Think about what the landlord said!"
"What's there to think about?" Wang Xiuren didn't quite understand. "We're not from the post office!"
"You're stupid!" Lin Qiu cursed, "Why would the landlord tell us if we only needed people from the post office!"
"A newsstand should be opened through the post office, and it should be a good way. Think about it, we have a relationship with the landlord, not an enemy. Seeing how he is taking care of us now, he can't possibly harm us, right?"
"That's right!" Wang Xiuren thought that this was probably the landlord returning the favor, "but we both have to go to work, so we can't do this!"
"You are so stubborn!" Lin Qiu felt that Wang Xiuren's brain was a one-way street that never turned.
"Can't I quit my job at the garment factory?"
"Yes!" Wang Xiuren suddenly realized, "I just don't know if I can earn a lot?"
"It should make more money than the garment factory, otherwise the landlord wouldn't have to do this favor."
Lin Qiu was actually not sure in her heart, but she remembered a saying from her previous life: In this era, even a pig can fly if it stands on the vent of the wind. So she decided to seize this opportunity.
The salary at the garment factory seems high, but if you want to buy a house in Pengcheng now, this amount of money is far from enough. Ever since the old man visited Pengcheng this spring, the housing prices in Pengcheng have doubled. Even if Wang Xiuren and he skipped food and drink, they couldn't even afford two square meters with their monthly salary, not to mention that housing prices will only get higher in the future. Lin Qiu wanted to earn more money and buy the house as soon as possible.
She took this opportunity to tell Wang Xiuren about the idea of buying a house.
"Why do we need to buy a house? We are not from here, so there is no point in buying a house here!" Wang Xiuren refused without even thinking.
Lin Qiu guessed that Wang Xiuren would think so, took a deep breath, and planned to break the matter down and explain it to him clearly to avoid any unpleasantness between the two of them because of this matter in the future.
"Think about it, if you buy a house instead of renting one, won't you save on rent every month?"
"Also, after we buy a house, we can transfer our household registration here so that Shanshan can go to a public school here. You don't know how expensive private school tuition is! After we buy a house, our Shanshan can stay in Shenzhen to study and not have to pay the exorbitant tuition!"
"Besides, we will probably work in Shenzhen in the future. We can buy a house here and sell it when we are old, and then use the money to go back to our hometown for retirement."
"What do you think? The interest earned from putting the money in the bank is not even enough to cover one month's rent."
Lin Qiu's words made Wang Xiuren nod repeatedly.
"But we don't have money to buy a house. Houses are so expensive, we can't afford it!"
"That's why we want to try other ways. What if we can make more money than now?" Lin Qiu said to Wang Xiuren, which made him more and more determined. "Anyway, I want to give it a try. Selling popsicles can make money. I believe that newsstands can make more money. After all, not everyone can open a newsstand!"
"It's up to you! I don't understand what you're talking about." Wang Xiuren still felt that it was better to work honestly. After all, the cost of running a newsstand was not small, and he couldn't afford to lose money.
As soon as Lin Qiu saw Wang Xiuren's behavior, he knew that he still disagreed.
"How about this, we'll do this for three months. If we don't make any money in three months, I'll never do anything else and will just stay in the garment factory and sew on the sewing machine."
"Okay, let's try it for three months!" Wang Xiuren thought about it and felt that it was useless for him to object. According to Lin Qiu's personality, he would definitely tinker with this matter. He could just consider it as earning less money for a few months to avoid a quarrel between the two of them over this matter.
"Then let's talk to the landlord tomorrow and settle it as soon as possible and see what other procedures need to be completed," Lin Qiu was somewhat satisfied to see that Wang Xiuren had compromised. After all, he didn't want the two of them to be unhappy because of this matter.
"Okay, go to bed early, you have to go to work tomorrow!"
"Go to sleep!"
…
The next day, Lin Qiu was as energetic as a chicken, and he worked on the sewing machine until it was almost smoking.
"Sister Lin, what good news is this? Why are you so excited?" Li Li came over curiously.
"What good thing is there? I just want to make a few more dollars!" Lin Qiu didn't plan to tell anyone at the moment, "I'm not as relaxed as you are. I have a heavy burden!"
"Who doesn't have a heavy burden?" Li Li didn't quite believe it and curled her lips.
Lin Qiu ignored him and continued to work with his head down.
We don’t know what the situation will be like in the future, so make as much money as you can now.
Wang Xiuren was originally worried about not being able to make money, but when he saw that the mailboxes on the first floor of almost every building in the community were stuffed with newspapers and magazines, he felt a little more at ease. People in the city love to read newspapers, so the newspapers should be able to sell.
After dinner in the evening, Lin Qiu rushed to the landlord's house. Seeing some fresh persimmons on the road, they were bright red and very pleasing to the eye, he picked eight and went over.
After all, you can't come empty-handed.
Lin Qiu explained his purpose to the landlord. The landlord's daughter-in-law happened to be at home. She said that she would help with the application, but Lin Qiu had to handle the other procedures himself.
Lin Qiu could fully understand and agreed readily, and thanked the landlord's daughter-in-law again and again.
Before leaving, the landlord told them that the 20th of this month, which was the 24th day of the eighth lunar month, would be a good date for moving.
The couple thanked the landlord again and said they would definitely clean up their current rental house and move in.
The decision, which concerns the fate of the entire family, has been made and is only waiting to bear fruit.
