Chapter 599: Godfather
When Zhu Suisui heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.
Her health has always been a source of worry for the family.
Even though she says now that she is well and no longer needs to take medicine, even if she is a little tired, she doesn't feel anything, unlike before when she would easily get out of breath.
But considering my family's care, I am definitely still worried.
Zhu Suisui had no choice but to change the subject, "Mom, I see that you are in good spirits recently, and you seem to be much younger."
In fact, Xu Hui is very beautiful, just look at Zhu Suisui.
Among the three children, Zhu Suisui is the one who looks most like Xu Hui. Of course, they are not exactly alike, but there is some similarity in their eyebrows and eyes. She looks about 30% to 40% like Xu Hui. Zhu Suisui is prettier. After being raised in the Lu family for so long, her temperament has changed, but she doesn't feel out of place at all. On the contrary, Zhu Suisui seems like she should have been raised in such a family.
Of course, if Zhu Suisui didn't have his two brothers to protect him, he would have suffered a great loss if he lived in the countryside.
And if Xu Hui had not married Zhu Xingguo, who loved her so much and was with her all the time, Xu Hui's looks would have been taken advantage of.
Before she got married, Xu Hui was besieged by some hooligans in the village. If Zhu Xingguo had not intervened in time, she would have suffered.
After that, Xu Hui felt that being beautiful was not a good thing. In addition, there were a lot of rumors in the village. Even though she was married, there were always some dirty talk spread around her. So Xu Hui stopped dressing up.
Now that she has moved to Beijing and her family has made some money, Xu Hui no longer has to work as hard as when she ran the snack stand. Her energy and spirit are different, and she has also started to take care of her skin.
Zhu Suisui was not lying. Just looking at her like this, Xu Hui looked ten years younger.
When the two of them walked out, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were sisters, after all, Xu Hui gave birth to them early.
Hearing Zhu Suisui say this, Xu Hui glanced at Zhu Xingguo somewhat embarrassedly and blushed.
Old Lady Zhu smiled and said, "It was your dad who heard others talk about using skin care products, so he wanted to buy a set for your mom. A customer who came to eat in the store said that the Friendship Store sells them, but they need foreign exchange coupons. Your dad started a promotion, saying that you can get a 30% discount with foreign exchange coupons. After getting the foreign exchange coupons, he bought a set for your mom. To be honest, this thing is really useful. Your mom looks a lot younger after using it."
"Your dad also got a lot of clothes from your second brother for your mom to wear. He heard from others that perming hair is popular now, so he dragged your mom to get a perm. He didn't realize how much he was suffering. People who didn't know would think your mom was his sister."
Seeing what Old Lady Zhu said, Zhu Xingguo felt a little embarrassed in front of his daughter, and said helplessly: "Mom, why are you and Suibao talking about this? I just like to see Huihui looking pretty. I am a big man, why should I bother with this?"
Even when the family made money, Zhu Xingguo was very frugal. He would either buy something for Old Lady Zhu or give it to Xu Hui.
Zhu Suisui laughed after hearing this, "Dad, that's not true. Men also need to take care of themselves. You are about the same age as mom. Now mom looks radiant and getting younger and prettier. But you have become an old man without taking care of yourself. How can this be possible? Our family is not poor. If you are younger and prettier, mom will be happy too."
Hearing this.
Zhu Xingguo was actually somewhat tempted.
It’s not that he likes dressing up, but he is afraid that he will become an old man. What if his wife doesn’t like him anymore?
Xu Hui saw that the topic had finally come to her head. She couldn't stand the teasing any more and said quickly, "Don't talk about this anymore. It's embarrassing. You guys wait here. I think Sui Sui must be hungry. I'll ask the chef to make you some of the restaurant's specialties. We just happened to have developed some new dishes. I'll ask Guan Yu if there are any nourishing dishes for pregnant women."
Having said that, Xu Hui walked out, and Zhu Xingguo followed her out like a puppy.
Old Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Suisui talked about the matter.
"I have discussed it with your parents and decided to let your mother recognize your grandfather as her godfather. He is alone and helpless, and it would be difficult for him to find relatives. Your mother doesn't have any relatives to begin with. What do you think?"
Zhu Suisui naturally agreed, "This is a great idea. This way, we will be a family and can take care of Grandpa Shou more naturally."
Otherwise it would be neither justified nor justified.
Seeing that Zhu Suisui also agreed, Mrs. Zhu suggested holding the banquet tonight and inviting Grandpa Shou to dinner.
Lu Lanxu took the initiative and said, "Then I'll go get Grandpa Shou to come over. It's a good opportunity to test his opinion. If he agrees, we can have a comfortable meal. If he doesn't agree, we can just celebrate Sui Sui's pregnancy, and Grandpa Shou won't have to feel burdened."
Old Lady Zhu nodded and said, "Lan Xu, you are right. We can't just take the lead and be too enthusiastic. If someone really doesn't want to do something, we can't force him. We still have to ask him what he thinks."
After all, it is recognizing relatives, which is not a trivial matter.
This idea has not been around overnight. Old Mrs. Zhu and Old Man Shou have lived together for so long, and they have been helped a lot. When Zhu Suisui was not around, Old Man Shou helped to deal with any problems. They have been getting along like a family for a long time, but they just lack a legitimate name.
That’s when Mrs. Zhu came up with this idea.
Now, while Zhu Suisui is here, Old Lady Zhu brought it up so that everyone can have a warm and lively meal together.
Zhu Suisui also followed Lu Lanxu. She had a good relationship with Old Man Shou, so it was appropriate for her to ask some questions.
She is also the one who knows the old man's situation best. The search for his relatives is still going on, but Zhu Suisui is not sure whether he can be found or not. She can only leave it to fate.
Seeing that Zhu Suisui wanted to go together, Lu Lanxu took everyone with him.
Old Man Shou was not in Dazhalan, so he was probably in the jade carving factory. Zhu Suisui had never been there either, so he only found out about it after asking Yan Ziqing.
Old Man Shou was very concerned about the jewelry counter business. He was a gifted person with sufficient experience, so it was very easy for him to do well in this area.
Now the jewelry counter can have a monthly turnover of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. After deducting the cost, commission and basic salary, as well as the design fee and labor cost for Mr. Shou, the remaining profit is probably less than 200,000 yuan. If you add in 10% of the sales that goes to the Friendship Store, which will take 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, the remaining profit is estimated to be 140,000 to 150,000 yuan. Zhu Sui will take 70%, about 100,000 yuan, and the rest will be Yan Ziqing's.
All in all, Yan Ziqing's share was actually about the same as Old Man Shou's.
On the contrary, Zhu Suisui, who earned the most money, did not put in that much time and energy.
Zhu Suisui was thinking about whether he should make some adjustments.
Lu Lanxu said, "When the dividends are distributed at the end of the year, you can give out more original shares. This will make it easier for Yan Ziqing and Shou Ye to accept them."
Otherwise, if it was brought up suddenly, given their personalities, they would definitely not accept it.
Although Lu Lanxu didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Yan Ziqing was indeed a man of true integrity.
Lu Lanxu didn't care that much about other rivals, but when facing Yan Ziqing, he felt a sense of crisis.
The other party is not as shady and pretentious as him. He is a true gentleman who is consistent in his appearance and inner qualities.
Zhu Suisui thought about it and it was okay. He thought that he would continue to develop in the future. Once the jewelry market economy starts to develop, it will completely explode.
We can introduce gold jewelry in the future. Now we are in a planned economy and gold cannot be bought and sold. So Zhu Suisui will not consider this for the time being. However, according to the preferences of Chinese people, gold and jade will both be women's favorite jewelry.
Even when she was pregnant, Zhu Suisui was still thinking about how to make money.
Finally arrived.
When Old Man Shou came out, he saw the two of them coming together. He knew last night that Zhu Suisui was pregnant, so he was naturally very happy. As he got older, he would be particularly looking forward to the birth of a newborn.
It's like touching new hope.
No wonder children are called the flowers of the motherland. There is a reason for this.
Old Shou thought he was looking for something, so he said, "Why did you come all the way here? I'll be back in the evening. It's a pity for you to come all the way here."
"Grandpa Shou, I'm here on the orders of my grandmother. You need to set up a table in the store tonight." Zhu Suisui said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shou Ye shook his head and said, "This is your family dinner, I can just have a bite in the cafeteria."
Zhu Suisui quickly said, "This is a banquet specially prepared for you. You, as the host, cannot fail to attend."
This made Old Man Shou a little puzzled.
Why are you setting up a banquet for no reason?
Lu Lanxu, who was standing by, relayed what Old Lady Zhu had said.
Hearing this.
Old Man Shou fell silent.
