Chapter 103 Han's Restaurant
Han Jianwu took his son to the bathroom, and his seat became vacant. The two men tried to chat with Huo Qingqing again, but Huo Qingqing fell asleep with her daughter in her arms. "While dad and brother are in the bathroom, let's stretch our legs."
The man still asked Huo Qingqing where she worked.
Huo Qingqing glanced at the man, not knowing what was going on, but that look made the man feel a chill on his back, and the smile on his face became awkward. Huo Qingqing said calmly, "Doctor."
The two of them agreed with each other, saying how good the doctor was. Huo Qingqing didn't even look at them again. She just hugged her daughter and closed her eyes to rest.
They soon arrived at Kyoto Airport. After they got off the plane, Han Jianwu went to pick up the luggage, while Huo Qingqing and Luo Anning waited for him with the children. The two people did not check in their luggage and separated from them on their own accord.
Jiang Zian and Baojuan drove to the airport to pick them up. They hadn't seen the two kids for many years, and they were extremely enthusiastic when they saw them. But the two kids didn't seem to remember them very well. It has been more than four years since Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu left Hanjiagou. During these four years, Huo Qingqing and the two children have never returned, but Han Jianwu has returned several times.
Baojuan hugged Niu'er and said, "Niu'er, don't you remember your sister at all?"
The girl nodded and said, "I remember a little bit."
Zhuangzhuang was very outgoing and quickly became familiar with his sister and brother-in-law. He said, "I can remember it."
They rented a large three-bedroom house on the third floor in the family quarters of the Army Hospital. It was arranged with the help of Gu Shaohui and the director. It was actually a staff house, but Huo Qingqing had just started working and was not eligible to live in the staff house. So she had to pay the water, electricity and some other expenses herself every month, so it was very cheap.
The house has been newly renovated and is fully furnished and equipped with appliances. The large room has been divided into two rooms, one for each of the two children, with a bed and a desk underneath, as well as a wardrobe and everything else.
The living room and balcony are both very stylish, and the master bedroom and guest bedroom are well furnished.
The two kids visited the new home side by side and commented, "This home may look shabby on the outside, but it's actually pretty good on the inside!"
This old-style half-building has a long single-sided shared corridor as soon as you go up the stairs. There are four households in total, two on each side of the stairs, and all of them are large apartments, and they are all occupied by people with seniority.
This kind of house is a paradise in the eyes of Baojuan and Zi'an, but it is not good enough in Luo Anning's eyes.
Han Jianwu observed his mother-in-law's expression and said, "Mom, you have to live here for now. Things will be a little better when the new house is built."
Luo Anning said, "Very good, very good, compact and well tidied. It's easy to tidy up since you two are usually busy. When I get home, let your Aunt Wang come over to help take care of the two children and cook and clean! You two are so busy, you can't be careless with the children."
Han Jianwu said, "Then let Aunt Wang come over. Aren't you and my dad just short of someone?"
Luo An Ning, "We are not at the stage where we need someone to serve us. There are people to cook and clean the house. It won't be a big problem if we don't have your Aunt Wang."
Huo Qingqing was waiting for her mother to say this. She had been thinking about asking her parents for Aunt Wang. It was easy to find employees in the store, but finding a reliable and trustworthy aunt at home was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Huo Qingqing, "Then when my eldest brother gets married and has a baby, you are not allowed to take Aunt Wang back with him?"
Luo An Ning glared at her daughter and said, "I knew you were just waiting for me to speak."
Han Jianwu smiled and secretly gave his wife a thumbs up.
At the same time, the two fellow villagers who Han Jianwu met by chance on the plane had already met up with their boss Gao Yunxia.
With Zhang Guohua's investment, Gao Yunxia also rented a shop in Kyoto's Hongmen Market, mainly wholesale skin care products and detergents. These two people went to work for Gao Yunxia, but they could not appear in the Hongmen Market because they had other tasks.
Han Jianwu prepared a sumptuous meal for his wife, children and mother-in-law, and then took Huo Qingqing to the market.
Huo Qingqing said, "I think the two people who chatted with you on the plane today were a little weird."
Han Jianwu also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong. However, he felt that the two of them were strange. Asked, "What do you think is weird?"
Huo Qingqing, "I can't explain it, but I just feel like it's either a traitor or a thief. You should still be careful. If you run into it again, it will definitely not be a coincidence. No matter what the circumstances, there will be problems."
Han Jianwu, okay.
Han Jianwu's wholesale shop occupies an absolute location advantage, and he has Huo Qingqing to advise him. The quality, workmanship, and styles of the clothes he chooses every time are very unique. His old customers are loyal and they also help introduce new customers. His business is really booming, making many of his peers jealous.
Not to mention the restaurant business, but as the market gradually expanded and planned and rectified, restaurants were not allowed to open in the clothing wholesale market, and the market management office specially planned a street for them to do catering.
Han Jianwu's snack bar also meant that he would have to move away.
Han Jianwu directly turned the restaurant into a wholesale shop. The two stores were merged and the storefront was redecorated. The Qingqing Clothing Wholesale Store looked very grand and more attractive.
The newly planned restaurant street is full of very short and small storefronts, some of which are even simple houses. There are many tricycle stalls in the morning and evening. Huo Qingqing's suggestion was to find a better building nearby and open a larger and more upscale restaurant with a cash register and a telephone. The restaurant should still focus on the snacks from the previous store, and add fried dishes, rice, and boxed lunches. Since there are many people in the store, they can arrange two people to deliver food to the neighborhood, and get ordering cards and hand them out to every store.
Han Jianwu never doubted his wife's strategy. After all, it was his wife's suggestion to do women's clothing wholesale. All his good luck started from that women's clothing wholesale business. Moreover, every time at the critical moment, as long as Huo Qingqing stepped in, all problems would be solved. This time was no exception, Han Jianwu went to find the storefront in person.
There is a residential compound nearby. With the opening up of the economy, the first-floor houses facing the road are rented out as shops.
Han Jianwu took Huo Qingqing to see if the house he found was okay.
Huo Qingqing, "We need to sign a contract with them for at least ten years, and they are not allowed to raise the rent within ten years."
Han Jianwu, "I said, the person in charge said that the maximum contract is five years, and the rent won't increase within five years. Ten years is simply impossible. At first, they said it was only three years, and I said that's not the point. Their house is big and usually no one rents it. Seeing that I really wanted it, they said they would go back and discuss it with the leader. Now they called and said that the rent won't increase for five years."
Huo Qingqing, "It's all a trick."
This is the residential quarters for the staff of a large machinery factory. The first floor now belongs entirely to the factory. The factory’s performance is not good right now, and the leaders are also trying to find ways to make money. Renting out storefronts is the fastest way to make money, and everyone is now starting to follow suit.
Huo Qingqing fell in love with the house at first sight. It was a very large suite. The layout of an old house was like that, with corners everywhere. But after the renovation, some of the non-load-bearing walls were knocked down, and those that could not be knocked down were made into private rooms. Only one door is needed for the windows and doors facing the road, and the others can be made into floor-to-ceiling windows. From the dining table to the chairs and the tablecloth, everything was personally selected by Huo Qingqing.
This time the name of the store is also very high-sounding, Han Ji Restaurant.
