Chapter 115 Motivation to Make Money
Last time Yanyan passed by a family in the alley who had a TV. That family had a 9-inch black and white TV. At that time, the cartoon "Havoc in Heaven" was playing. She watched from outside for a while, unable to move.
Oh, that's Wang Dexian's mother's house. He got the receipt and spent three or four hundred to buy it. Electrical appliances are really expensive nowadays.
Yanyan said that the grandmother of that family asked her to sit in and watch, and also gave her candies and fruits to eat.
The little girl came back and said proudly: "The grandmother told people that you and dad will both be college students and are worth dating."
She may not understand much. But she was quite complacent about being treated well by neighbors because her parents would be college students. After all, Grandma Wang never invited other children to watch TV in. After she came back from watching it, even her favorite radio was not popular during that period.
It seemed to be the first TV in this area. But people didn't seem to welcome neighbors to watch TV. Nowadays, everyone's house is not big, and it is very noisy when there are too many people in the house.
Fang Mingche and Lin Yan could only teach their daughter not to go to other people's doorsteps to watch TV. Mom and Dad will work hard to earn money and try to buy one as soon as possible.
A black and white, the smallest one costs three or four hundred. And you need a TV ticket! Well, even if you have a ticket, it's not enough, the department store must have stock. Every time the stock arrives, there is a long queue, the supply is too small.
And when she went to the Friendship Store before, Lin Yan saw a much larger color TV inside. Japanese imports, Toshiba, Hitachi.
That costs more than four thousand. If you haven't been there, you really don't know how big the gap is between people.
If someone nearby buys an imported color TV, it will cause a sensation. It's not for people of this class nearby.
Well, then in the remaining four months of this year, they have to buy a TV and a washing machine. This is less than a thousand!
The scrap yard invested a thousand, and they dare not buy either the TV or the washing machine for the time being.
Yanyan was taught several times, and she also understood that even college students are poor. A TV cannot be bought for the time being, but Mom and Dad will try.
I can't go to Grandma Wang's house to watch it anymore, that's not a good behavior. Even if Grandma Wang called her casually, she
can come back when she wants to watch it. The little girl doesn't go into that alley anymore, for fear that she will walk over if she goes in.
But as time goes by, she seems to have forgotten about watching TV. She just remembers not to go there.
But Fang Mingche and Lin Yan, the parents, still hope to satisfy their daughter if they try hard and still have hope of buying a TV that their daughter has always dreamed of.
Alas, human desires are really endless.
In the past, ordinary people were not allowed to go to the Friendship Store, so they didn't know anything.
Now that I know such a good life, and the country also encourages individual economy, I must work hard!
Lin Yan just started to scrub with clean water, and heard a familiar voice coming from the door of the small side courtyard, "Yes, it's here!"
She looked up and saw her mother walking in with a chubby boy of seventeen or eighteen and a middle-aged woman.
Yes, it's her aunt and cousin Zhu Qiming. These days everyone is malnourished and skinny.
Her cousin, who was the only son in three generations, was raised to be plump. It was estimated that both her family and her aunt's family had contributed to this.
Lin Yan quickly stood up and wiped her hands on the apron in front of her, "Mom, aunt, cousin, please take a seat--"
Guests are guests, and etiquette cannot be missed. Although it seemed that he did not come for no reason, he even brought an egg cake.
While Lin Yan was talking, she carried a few chairs out of the house and set them up. She quickly thought in her mind why her aunt and son came to ask for something from her.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me in advance that you brought my aunt and the others here? If I go out of town today, wouldn't you have made a wasted trip?"
If they want to stay for lunch, she should go buy vegetables and cook.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome to see their family eating out every day. She was actually a little tired in the past few days, and she wanted to take a break today.
However, you can't show off your wealth these days. Especially when facing her uncle's family. Lin Yi knew this in her heart.
I just don't know if I can still buy vegetables at the market now. If not, I can only go to Lao Cui to share some vegetables. It's a bit more expensive, but the vegetables in the black market are more abundant.
Lin's mother said, "Your aunt didn't say hello in advance."
The aunt sat down and said with a smile, "We are all relatives. Do we need to send visiting cards when we visit each other every day? I heard that your stall is over there in Dazhalan. It's quite close."
This small courtyard is pretty good! There are a few square rooms and a small flower bed. Yes, there is also a toilet. This is very convenient.
The dead girl is really lucky. Their family is still squeezed in a slum with others, and there are many chaotic things every day.
Lin Yan said, "I'm not going to Dashilar."
She took out a teacup and poured tea for them. Seeing the friendly attitude of her aunt, she had some idea in her mind.
Zhu Qiming looked over, "Cousin, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the suburbs."
Her aunt said, "Is your new business in the suburbs?"
"Yes."
The suburbs are fine, as long as Qiming can get a salary. It would be best if he could work there for more than ten years and wait until his father retires from the army before taking over. This is the most cost-effective!
She looked into the house, and then said, "This side is all yours?"
I heard from my second aunt that these two rooms, together with half of the courtyard, are all under Ayan's name.
At the beginning, my second aunt introduced a date to Ayan, but the dead girl refused.
My second aunt was very angry. It affected her promotion and salary increase. She also said that they would never have any contact in the future. But I heard that my nephew's husband was very capable, and all the money and house he earned belonged to Ayan. The key is that his college entrance examination score is very high, and he will definitely be able to go to college in the capital, so he went to her house to flatter her and resumed contact.
Lin Yan nodded, "These two rooms plus the small kitchen, the small flower bed behind, and the half-courtyard in front of the door belong to Mingche and me. This tea stall will soon be closed, and I still owe Uncle Gu 2,000 yuan, and I don't know when I can pay it back."
Uncle Gu has heard this many times. Standing under the eaves, he said in cooperation, "Anyway, the IOU says that it must be paid before New Year's Day 1980. If it's not enough, just return the big room to me."
Auntie said, "Oh, Uncle, our niece and niece-in-law are so capable, and they are going to be college students. They will definitely not owe debts that they can't pay back. Ah Yan, take me in for a tour, a tour."
Lin Yan had no choice but to take her in to see.
"This larger room is where our family of three live every day. The smaller one is currently used as a warehouse for storing things. When we close the stall in the afternoon, the room will be full. This small kitchen is actually separated from the small room, so just use it as it comes."
