"What, you want to go to Pengcheng?" Shen Anning looked at his little cousin. Although he was not surprised that he had such an idea, it was surprising when he said it out loud.
"Sister, the whole country is talking about reform and opening up, but the most advanced place is still in Pengcheng. There are many ports there, and it's close to the port city. Look at the things sold in Beijing, every stall owner says they are from the south."
He's already a grown-up boy, full of drive, so of course Shen An Ning supports him. "As for me, I definitely support you going. There's still some time between the final exams and the New Year, but grandparents are definitely worried about you being alone. If you really want to go, think about bringing a few more skilled people with you."
Before the final exams were over, Peng Zhe didn't dare to bring up his idea at home. Even though his parents saw his talent for business through the private dishes, although it was easy to make money in the south now, it was also really chaotic!
The winter vacation lasted only one month. Shen Anning discussed with the teachers of the tutoring class and decided to stay for an extra week to concentrate on making up for the lessons. Then, ten sets of examination papers were given to the students for each subject. This year's tutoring class was as popular as usual. The teachers taught with all their heart and the students studied hard. It was hard not to see their grades improve.
As a boss who went to tutoring classes no more than ten times a semester, Shen Anning was a little embarrassed by her own behavior as a hands-off boss.
In mid-January, after the final exams, Peng Zhe, along with two of his high school classmates and four veterans, went to Shenzhen with the help of his grandparents.
These soldiers were found with the help of Cao Jingheng. In recent years, there have been many veterans and the country is under great pressure. Some of them have been given retirement benefits but have not been given jobs. If Peng Zhe succeeds in the business world in the future, there will probably be many jobs left for these people's soldiers who have made contributions to the country.
Thinking of his uncle's changing expression at the dinner table, Shen An Ning boldly guessed that Peng Zhe had been the one who cheated his father before, and it would be the other way around in the future.
After deducting the 20% from the Chen family's profit from the private restaurant over the past month, Peng Zhe still had less than 20,000 yuan in his hands. Shen Anning secretly stuffed ten gold bars into his pocket. Now there was no way to withdraw money from the passbook in other places, so it was better to bring gold bars than cash.
Peng Zhe was almost moved to death, "Sister, you are so kind, I don't know what to say."
"Alright, be careful on the road. Keep your money and gold bars close to you. Don't be too cheap when you get there. Stay in a proper guesthouse. Watch more and talk less. After all, you're unfamiliar with the place, so be cautious in everything you do."
On the third day after Peng Zhe left, my uncle and aunt finally came back from the northwest after seven years of separation. This time, my uncle was promoted, and my brother-in-law was finally on the same level as my uncle after working for so many years.
When Shen's mother and aunt saw each other, they hugged each other tightly, tears falling again and again. These two sisters-in-law have never had a quarrel or a red face since they entered the Shen family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are sisters. Even though they haven't seen each other for so many years, their feelings for each other have not diminished at all.
Aunt Shen looked at the two people who had forgotten her again, and complained: "Hey, Mom and Dad, look at my two sisters-in-law. They have squeezed me out again. They must have something against me as their sister-in-law."
Grandma Shen looked at her little daughter who was still acting like a child at such a big age, and nodded her head with her finger. "You, you, when your two sisters-in-law came into the house, you were about the same age as An Xuan. They loved you even more than I do."
In the past few years, the eldest aunt has been in the northwest with the tonic given by Shen Anning. There is a lot of meat there, and her health looks much better than before. She also likes to joke. She pulled Aunt Shen over and rubbed her face hard, "Come, come to the eldest sister-in-law's arms and let the eldest sister-in-law hug you well."
The children sitting on the sofa couldn't stop laughing as they looked at their elders who were different from usual.
Seven years later, Shen Yixing and Lin Junqi saw their granddaughter for the first time and held her tightly in their arms, refusing to let go. "Xixi baby, do you know who I am?"
"Of course I know, they are Xixi's grandparents, photos, and phone numbers, right?" Shen Zixi was not unfamiliar with them. When she was a child and couldn't speak, Shen Anning took her to see photos every day, and after returning to Beijing, she would call every few days.
The family is missing Shen Anchen, who has not yet taken a vacation.
When uncle and aunt came back, Xixi was like a little mouse that fell into a rice jar. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do. It had been so many years since she saw her little granddaughter. Uncle Shen and aunt were so happy that they bought her whatever she wanted. The little girl's favorite people list also changed from aunt to parents and now to grandparents.
Without the sticky leg pendant, Shen Anning's work became much easier. He would go out for a stroll in the vegetable market every morning, bring back some meat, vegetables, snacks and dried goods, and go to the police station in the evening to have dinner with someone and take advantage of that person.
On January 26th, at 5 pm, the last day of cram school ended.
Cao Jingheng drove with Shen Anning to deliver New Year's benefits and red envelopes to the teachers. Seven days' salary plus the New Year's red envelopes were 60 yuan per person. The New Year's goods for those at home in Beijing were three pounds of pork and two boxes of snacks. It was difficult to get meat from other places, so Shen Anning gave them meat coupons, which were the kind that were valid nationwide.
The cook’s New Year’s goods were the same as the teacher’s, except that her salary and New Year’s red envelope were only thirty yuan.
After cleaning the courtyard, Dahei and Xiaohei were temporarily sent to the Cao family's courtyard. Another matter was settled, and the next step was to prepare New Year's goods and wait for the New Year.
Peng Zhe arrived home on the 24th day of the lunar year. He had spent all the money and gold bars he brought with him to Pengcheng. This guy was also very bold. He bought home appliances and watches that were shipped by private ships.
Color TVs take up a lot of space, so they directly booked two sleeper cars. They also bought a whole sack of watches, including both steel and electronic ones.
It was already quite late when the train arrived at the station, so the items were transported to the empty courtyard house of the Cao family. There was no need to worry about the veterans living there.
When Peng Zhe returned home, it was already past dinner time. Everyone was sitting in the living room chatting. When they heard a knock on the door, Shen Yipei stood up and said, "That's our debt collector back."
When Shen Zixi heard this, he also stood up and ran to open the door, "Uncle Xiaozhe, you're back!"
Seeing that it was Xixi who opened the door, Peng Zhe felt a sense of certainty. "Xixi baby still loves uncle the most. Come in and close the door. It's very cold outside."
Peng Zhe suffered a lot during this trip. It seems that he has lost at least five or six kilograms, but he is in very good spirits and it is obvious that he has gained a lot.
He placed the box in his hand on the table and opened it, "Ding, ding, ding, look what I brought you!"
"Watches, oh my god, all watches." Shen Anyu was no longer calm. There was a box of watches of all kinds.
"Hurry up and pick some out. I haven't put them out for sale yet. One piece per person. Take what you like."
Looking at Peng Zhe's wealthy appearance, Shen Anning couldn't help but sigh that her brother really had the talent to be a local tycoon.
