Chapter 24 Chapter 24 How can I not ask the children's opinions...
That night, Ning Shaoming came home from get off work and was stunned by this unexpected surprise.
When he made the plan to return to his hometown, he did think about making a living by relying on his skills.
But he never thought of going into the field of selling small commodities. After all, it was a field he had never touched before, and he was a little unconfident.
"We have never done this before. Can we really succeed if we do it rashly? What if we lose money?"
He started talking in a discouraging way, and Zhao Ruyue wanted to confront him.
But considering how good he was to her, she endured it for the time being: "How do you know it can't be done if you haven't tried? It's okay to lose money. If it doesn't work out in my hometown, I can still farm. I won't starve to death even if I lose money.
But I know you are not good at this, so you should just focus on your catering business and I will sell small commodities. ”
Ning Shaoming was still not happy: "Then don't we have to separate?"
He saw other people doing business, whether setting up a stall or opening a shop, and they found that when they first started out, they were always couples, with the whole family working together.
"I'm not moving out of town, so how come we're separated?" Zhao Ruyue felt like she had to confront this guy. "We used to work in a factory and a hotel, so far away from each other, but you didn't act like this. How come you act like a baby who's still breastfeeding when I mention my hometown? You're already so old, but you're still not weaned. Can't leave your new wife?"
Ning Shaoming couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He hugged Zhao Ruyue through the quilt and deliberately buried his head in her chest: "I just can't leave you."
He smiled so brightly even when being scolded. Zhao Ruyue realized that men are just being unreasonable and she should not tolerate being scolded in the future.
She stretched out her index finger, tapped Ning Shaoming's forehead, and pushed him to the other side of the bed: "Be quiet, we are both injured now, don't even think about doing anything inappropriate for children!"
Ning Shaoming lay down and looked at Zhao Ruyue sideways: "Have you really decided to sell small commodities? My family may not support us doing small business, and my brothers and sisters-in-law will definitely have objections to using the place at home, unless we turn this business into a public business, but you will definitely not be happy."
Zhao Ruyue said, "Of course. It seems that the family has not been officially separated yet, but the three of you brothers have already started your own families. According to the rules of your hometown, we are considered three families. If we mix them together, it will be difficult to explain this matter in the future."
"It's hard to find shops on the street. In recent years, everyone knows that doing business can make more money. People who live on the street or near houses have opened their own shops to do small business. Not many people are turning shops into shops, and there are few shops for rent.
If you can't find a suitable store and can't use your home to display your goods, you may really have to set up a stall at a street market. "This is what Ning Shaoming is really worried about.
It was only after he came out of the city that he discovered some very strange phenomena in his hometown.
Take doing business for example. If someone opens a store right from the start and successfully establishes himself and makes money, many people will think that this person is capable and can be a real boss.
If someone just sets up a small stall at the beginning and has no storefront, most people will call him boss with a smile on their face, but will talk about him behind their backs, thinking that setting up a stall is really shameful and that even if you can make money, you will be looked down upon.
In the eyes of the old folks, especially those living on the street, setting up a stall is like having a stain on one's life that prevents one from passing the civil service exam. It's outrageous.
When talking about who makes money by setting up a stall or who has brought good things to the family, some people always say: He is just a street vendor, what future does he have? He has brought shame to the whole family by setting up a stall on the street.
They also compare the pros and cons of opening a store right after starting a business and opening a store after making money from setting up stalls.
Even if the person who opens a shop at the beginning of his business makes a loss, they still think that he is better and more prestigious than the person who makes money by setting up a stall and then opens a shop.
In the end, a strange chain of contempt was formed. Those who kept setting up stalls and did not open stores even after earning money were at the bottom of the chain.
However, Ning Shaoming has seen a lot and knows very well that many people who maintain this chain of contempt are, to put it bluntly, just pretending to be poor and particular, and are jealous of others who can make money.
Ning Shaoming couldn't understand this, but if they were going to stay in their hometown for a long time in the future, and have to do the business of their hometown people, and their own children had to play with kids on the street, there were some things that could not be forced upon them by others.
He originally planned to build a small bungalow on the vacant residential land at home after returning. He would buy bricks and cement himself and build it simply, which would not cost much.
The empty residential land cannot be used for the time being, so they can use it temporarily for a period of time, and other people in the family will not have any objection.
After the small bungalow was built, he sold food there. Selling food required some skills, so no one else in the family could snatch the business away from him.
Moreover, to sell food, you don’t need a very big store at the beginning. You can just build a bungalow with a place for cooking and two small folding wooden tables.
If there are many guests, you can put a few more tables and chairs in the unused space on the homestead, and put up a tarpaulin to block the rain.
If the couple worked separately, they would have to build one more room, which he felt was not cost-effective.
Ning Shaoming told Zhao Ruyue about his previous plans.
Zhao Ruyue thought about it for a moment and understood why he felt it was not worth it: "Are you worried that it will be difficult to handle when the family is divided?"
Ning Shaoming smiled and said, "I knew you would understand what I meant. When I went to your house to propose marriage, my parents promised my father-in-law and mother-in-law that they would give us a house facing the street in the future. Only then did my father-in-law and mother-in-law agree to let you marry me. But so many years have passed, and I'm afraid there will be accidents."
After all, he is the youngest son in the family, and the division of the family property should take place after he gets married, or at the latest after he has children.
But this matter was delayed until his little daughter was old enough to go to school.
Zhao Ruyue thought for a while and said, "In fact, it's not impossible for us to separate the family when we go back and directly take the vacant land and build a house ourselves."
"Are you serious or joking?" Ning Shaoming sat up in shock, "Aren't you afraid that your parents-in-law will be angry?"
She was not afraid of her parents being angry, but she was afraid that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would come to her house and punish her!
Zhao Ruyue looked at him with amusement: "What are you afraid of? My parents are not unreasonable people. We will explain it to them and they will understand us."
"Anyway, we really chose that piece of vacant land to build our house. This is also a matter of my family going back on our word. Even if they can understand, they will still be a little unhappy." Ning Shaoming still had concerns in his heart, but what made him most unwilling was that the location of the old house was really good.
The door faces the street, and with a simple modification of the first floor, they can start doing business directly, which was originally something they could get.
Zhao Ruyue wanted to persuade him that the vacant residential land would be more suitable for doing business than the several streets in the town now.
She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She couldn't find a suitable excuse to tell him about the future she had predicted.
Because those local policies were not something she could know now, and she had no channels to source information.
She turned off the light dejectedly and lay down, staring at the dark top of the mosquito net for a long time, not feeling sleepy at all.
Ning Shaoming couldn't see Zhao Ruyue's expression. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he thought she was angry, so he said hurriedly: "It's too early to talk about this now. No matter what we want to do, we have to wait until after the New Year. There is still a lot of time to discuss it slowly."
Then he talked about the children again, trying to divert her attention with the children's affairs: "We should now think carefully about what we want to bring back for the New Year. Should we buy skateboards and bicycles for the children here and bring them back, or should we go back to our hometown and take the children to buy them?"
child?
Yes, and there are children!
Zhao Ruyue was blessed with a heart that children are also members of the family. When choosing a place for the whole family to live, how could she not ask the children's opinions!
