Chapter 230: Making Money
Sad days, happy years.
After New Year's Eve, the first and second days of the new year were spent eating and drinking. Chen Guilan tried to make delicious food every day, and Su Jiaojiao felt that she had gained several pounds.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my second uncle Chen Guisheng drove a tricycle with his whole family and half a tricycle of food to visit us. He planted Su Jiaojiao's land and sent some food to them every now and then. They never bought any of the various noodles they ate at home.
Chen Guisheng was very nice to his sister Chen Guilan. In his words, she was his only relative, so if he didn't treat her well, who else would he treat well?
As for Chen Guichang, he didn't know how to interact with this elder brother. Sometimes he even doubted whether Chen Guichang was his real elder brother?
Chen Guilan got up before dawn to prepare, and all the food was ready by 11 o'clock in the morning. The whole family came and ate.
Xiao Suisui was over one year old. She took off her cotton jacket in the house and ran around in the little skirt made for her by Chen Juan. It was impossible to catch her. Xu Yue'e followed her with a bowl and fed her.
Su Jiaojiao and Chen Juan ate some food and then went back to the bedroom to talk privately.
True sisters are those who, even if you haven’t seen or contacted each other for a year or two, can still be close to each other and have no barriers when they meet.
Chen Guilan and Chen Guisheng sat on the sofa and chatted. Xu Yue'e had not been hospitalized for two consecutive years. Chen Guisheng was in a good mood and had gained a lot of weight. He looked energetic and refreshed. "This year's apple harvest was good, the grain harvest was also good, and I saved some money. I won't have to worry about next year."
"That's good." Chen Guilan was very happy to hear this. She sincerely hoped that her second brother would live a good life. Looking at Xiao Suisui running around on the ground, she said, "This child is our family's lucky star. My second sister-in-law takes good care of him. He is white and plump, so adorable."
"Speaking of lucky stars, your Jiaojiao is the real one." Chen Guisheng drank by himself, picking up the glass and gulping it down. "If it weren't for her, Chen Juan wouldn't be able to make so much money. On New Year's Eve, she calculated that excluding the three busy farming months, she made a total of 5,000 yuan, which is better than any office worker."
"That's Juanjuan's own ability." Chen Guilan has been selling the long-sleeved shirts made by Chen Juan in Hualian Department Store. The quality is really good. You can tell at a glance that she is not lazy at all.
"If you don't help her, she won't be able to make any money no matter how capable she is." Chen Guisheng saw it clearly. "There are so many capable people in the village, but they work in the fields all year round and don't make much money."
The brother and sister praised each other's children.
"Brother, Jiaojiao is taking the college entrance exam this year and has been doing homework at home every day. Now that you're here and we've met, we won't go back," Chen Guilan said. "We'll come back to the village to see you after the exam is over."
"Okay, Jiaojiao's college entrance exam is more important." Chen Guisheng expressed his understanding. "When we were home, we told you that it would be inconvenient for you not to have a car, so we'll take you back to the village today. If you don't go back, we won't leave either. You can go back tomorrow."
"It would be great if you could stay here," Chen Guilan said happily. "We just happen to have room at home. If you could stay a few more days, we'd have some fun."
The other bedroom was originally used to store finished products. After Cai Ting came, she originally lived in Su Jiaojiao's room, but after Su Jiaojiao came back on weekends, she would go to bed very late.
Su Jiaojiao was worried that it would affect Cai Ting's sleep, so she bought another bed and turned that room into a bedroom.
After Su Jiaojiao had her winter vacation, Cai Ting moved back to the snack street and no longer lived here.
"How much does such a big house cost?" Chen Guisheng began to praise Su Jiaojiao again, "Guilan, you have a good daughter."
"Juanjuan is also a good girl." Chen Guilan also followed to praise Chen Juan. Speaking of making money, Chen Guilan felt so happy that she wanted to jump for joy, but she couldn't tell Chen Guisheng.
People happily told her that they made five or six thousand yuan, but she couldn't say, "We made even more, we made over 200,000 yuan just from selling leather jackets..."
Even siblings are not allowed!
Su Jiaojiao came out to pour water. After listening to the conversation, she returned to the house with a smile and said to Chen Juan, "This is the first time we've both been praised by our elders. It's not easy!"
As far as she could remember, she had never been praised by her elders.
In the eyes of the Su family, she is a rebellious child, rebellious, willful, and annoying.
"It's simple. We made money." Chen Juan spoke the truth. She lay on Su Jiaojiao's soft bed, reluctant to get up. "Oh, your bed is so comfortable. I don't want to leave."
"If you don't want to leave, then move to my house." Su Jiaojiao also lay down beside her and asked her, "I heard you made five or six thousand last year?"
"Yes, I have to thank you and Auntie. If you hadn't helped me find a market, I wouldn't have made so much money. This is the first time I've seen so much money in my life." Chen Juan didn't hide it from Su Jiaojiao, "My dad's orchard also had a good harvest, and we sold it for four or five thousand yuan, not counting the money from selling grain."
"Sure, you're a millionaire!" Su Jiaojiao was delighted to hear that and asked her, "Have you ever thought about buying a house in the city?"
House prices are relatively stable now, but the price of Century Jiayuan has increased by 100 yuan per square meter compared to when it was first launched.
In about a year or two, housing prices will rise sharply.
She also saved some money and planned to buy a house in the capital. To be precise, it was not until now that she could be considered to have made money.
"I haven't thought about it. It's too expensive and I can't afford it." Chen Juan heard that a house costs 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is scary. It's also more expensive than before.
"I think you should consider buying a house. Houses will become more and more expensive in the future." Su Jiaojiao'e didn't want to force Chen Juan to buy a house. "Anyway, it's a good thing to have a house in the city. When Sui Sui goes to school, you can move here."
Everyone has different cognition and considers issues differently.
In her previous life, she had not bought a house in Jiao County. Firstly, she had no money, and secondly, she had never thought about it, so she understood Chen Juan's thoughts at this time.
"If I had money, I might as well buy a house in our village." Chen Juan really hadn't thought about it. Her idea hadn't changed. She was determined to find a son-in-law to take care of her in her old age, so she would rather buy a house in the village than in the city.
She will not be separated from her parents.
"That's fine." Su Jiaojiao didn't persuade her anymore.
In her previous life, Chen Juan had been living in the village and had a prosperous life, so she didn't want to change the trajectory of Chen Juan's life.
As they were talking, Su Jiaojiao's phone rang. It was Lu Jingyou calling. He asked her, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." Su Jiaojiao replied. It was a bit noisy over there, not like he was at home. "Are you outside?"
"Yes, at the Guomao." Lu Jingyou said, "It's my birthday today, and a few friends came."
"Happy birthday to you, and may all your wishes come true." Su Jiaojiao sent her blessings readily. She was always at school on her birthdays, and sometimes she didn't even remember them.
As for Lu Jingyou's birthday, she didn't even know it.
"Thank you!" Lu Jingyou stood in front of the window, one hand in his pocket, his tone tinged with a smile. "How are you doing with the review materials I sent you?"
"I'm halfway done." Su Jiaojiao felt like the person on the other end of the phone was a teacher, and said hurriedly, "I finished it during the winter vacation. It's very useful for me. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lu Jingyou sounded in a good mood. "Just focus on your studies. I'll be back to Qingyuan after I finish dealing with things in Yangcheng. If you need anything, just call me."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed happily. After she finished the call, Chen Juan asked her, "Who called you?"
