After Ergouzi left, the two brothers sat together and talked for a very long time. At that moment, they even forgot about their tiredness.
Fourth Brother An was a little too naive, but fortunately Third Brother An still had some brains and understood better that since the eldest and second brothers did not choose to come over at the beginning, Er Gouzi and Xiaomei must have been disappointed.
Just like Ergouzi said, everyone has opportunities, but if you don’t seize them, they will eventually be lost.
No one will always be ready for them and hold the money in their hands for them to take.
Especially when I knew that An Hongdou actually spent a huge sum of 20,000 yuan for these useless brothers.
Whether it was Brother An San or Brother An Si, they both felt a lot in their hearts.
But Ergouzi was right. They couldn't help their younger sister in any way. The only thing they could do was to live a good life and let her worry less about them.
An Hongdou didn't take things here too seriously.
It's also because she understands that, regardless of other aspects, her brothers are all very practical when it comes to work.
With the smart Er Gou leading the way, there is no need to worry about any problems happening on their side.
Of course, the reason why we could make so much money on the first trip was that the defective fabrics and clothes from the garment factory accounted for a large part of the profit.
But that is a limit after all, and there is no other garment factory behind them that can provide them with convenience.
Ergouzi really put a lot of thought and thought into this, and was very smart. He treated people to meals and built relationships, and the effect was very significant. He quickly established good relationships with the leaders of several major factories, creating a win-win situation.
He can help the factory deal with defective goods, and the food he gets back can also be consumed by the factory, so both sides benefit.
A few months later, when it was snowing outside, An Hongdou received a call from home.
What’s strange is that the person who called this time was not the eldest brother or the second brother, nor was it Old Lady An, but the eldest and second sisters-in-law.
Because the phone speaker was loud, she could hear the breathing of the two people on the other end.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, is there something wrong at home?" An Hongdou asked.
"No, no, everything is fine at home." Li Xiaomi's voice came from inside, but it was not very loud. She was not the one who should have picked up the phone. She was speaking from the side, "Little sister, we called just to ask, how are the third and fourth children doing over there? Are they doing well at work..."
After the two of them asked around, An Hongdou finally understood their purpose.
She pulled the corners of her mouth, her face was a little sarcastic, but her voice was still steady. "Third and fourth brothers are both good, but they all work with brother Ergou and are often out. I don't know much about their affairs, so I never asked them. But sometimes they don't come back for half a month, and they are very hard-working."
An Hongdou couldn't see through the phone line, and the two women on the other end looked at each other.
Li Xiaomi urged Lin Cuihua again, lip-syncing to her, asking her to ask quickly.
Lin Cuihua hesitated and said, "Little sister, it's like this. You see, the weather is cold now, and there is not much work in the fields. Can you help ask Ergou if he needs anyone else? Your eldest and second brothers are idle at home, so if they can go out and find a job, they can at least earn a living."
An Hongdou smiled and said, "Brother Ergou probably doesn't need any more people. The three of them are doing just fine right now. There's only one car, so even if we have more people, we won't be able to use up all the space."
"Didn't he say that all four of your brothers would go? Why doesn't he want anyone anymore?" Lin Cuihua's tone was a little urgent.
"My eldest sister-in-law also said that was the case at the beginning. Brother Ergou also said it a few days ago. It's a good thing that my eldest and second brothers didn't agree to come at the beginning, otherwise he would have to find a way to arrange for them." An Hongdou said.
After hanging up the phone, An Hongdou didn't take this matter to heart.
Even if she agrees to let the eldest and second brothers come over now, Ergouzi will still have objections.
He is now preparing to expand the scale. It's ok to hire ordinary workers, but he doesn't want two more people to share the money with him. Even if he doesn't have to pay for the money, it doesn't mean he doesn't have to worry about it.
The third and fourth brothers all get a share of the profits, and they can get a lot of money every month. Now, wouldn't she be making things uncomfortable by asking the eldest and second brothers to come and do a job that only pays 40 or 50 yuan a month?
It's true, what Ergouzi lacked was an opportunity, and if she gave him this opportunity, he would be able to rise rapidly.
Er Gouzi used his connections from Zhu Xinyi and was thinking about having his third and fourth brothers take a driving test.
An Hongdou heard him say that once they got their driver's licenses and could drive themselves, he would not drive with them anymore, but would stay in Jiangcheng to handle the procurement and supply relations in the factory.
Except for the first few times when they had no experience and connections and had to sell the grain themselves, they later supplied it directly to the factories. Although the price was higher, no grain coupons were required, so many factories were still willing to buy it.
After all, a garment factory like Zhu Xinyi's employs several thousand people, so the food consumption must be quite high. It is much easier to get food from Ergouzi than to purchase it from a grain station, and they are more willing to purchase food privately without food coupons.
However, Ergouzi is unable to supply such a large quantity for the time being, so he is preparing to expand the scale. Currently, he focuses on training his two older brothers, trying to make them able to drive themselves, and then recruit a few workers to do the work.
An Hongdou could almost foresee that as long as the third and fourth brothers followed Ergouzi honestly and didn't do anything naughty, they would definitely be able to make a fortune in the short term based on their relationship.
However, this kind of supply relationship also has great disadvantages. With the tide of reform and opening up, it will not last long. I don’t know how far Ergouzi can go in the future.
Lin Cuihua and Li Xiaomi returned disappointed, and were naturally unhappy.
In particular, after hearing about the things that the third and fourth brothers sent home, and considering the changes in the two families' food and clothing over the past few months, it is not difficult to guess that the third and fourth brothers' living conditions must be much better than those of their two families.
Lin Cuihua was still able to remain calm. After all, the several hundred yuan that Changyue gave to the family had not been touched. She still felt in her heart that the third and fourth sons' wives did not know how to live and just wanted to eat and wear as long as they had some money.
The most anxious person was Li Xiaomi. She didn't have a daughter who could give her money, and her husband couldn't make money either. She saw that her family had the worst life among the four brothers. This was something she couldn't accept at all as she was a little clever and secretly strong-willed.
This emotion directly or indirectly affects the lives of everyone in the family.
But An Hongdou didn't know all this.
A small restaurant opened at the corner of the street, which is very convenient for An Hongdou, a woman who doesn't like to cook.
On the day the winter vacation started, Shen Xiangzhi packed his luggage and went to Shenzhen City under Jiang Huai's urging.
She was sitting in the small restaurant waiting for food, and she saw Shen Wanhua and Li Jing coming in one after the other.
