After nine o'clock, only a few customers came to buy roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). Chu Yu and her second uncle pushed the cart to the municipal hospital.
Patients in the hospital are busy with surgery and examinations, so those accompanying them usually can't eat on time. There are always people coming out to buy food.
Sanmao's roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) isn't cheap, but none of the stalls and shops near the Municipal Hospital offer affordable options. Where can you find cheap things near a hospital?
If you don't eat the 30-cent roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), you can only eat the 40-cent set meal. The set meal is also poorly made. You can't find a single piece of meat after searching for a long time, so you have to eat in the store.
Unlike roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), which can be taken back to the ward immediately after preparation, allowing patients to eat without delaying their care, roujiamo smells really good. The bad mood I had while accompanying patients at the hospital disappeared completely after eating the delicious roujiamo.
On the first day of setting up their stall, Chu Yu came along to teach Deng Fangping and Shu Hui how to shout and how to get close to customers.
But this isn't her own business after all. She has to learn to let go and allow Deng Fangping and Shu Hui to grow, to take that first step, to greet customers, talk to them, and understand their preferences.
Chu Yu smiled as she pushed her bicycle, "Auntie, Second Uncle, I'm going to ride my bike around the neighborhood."
Shu Aiguo was watching people play chess when he heard this and came over. "Be careful, don't run around."
"Don't go to places with few people," Shu Hui advised.
"Okay!"
Chu Yu rode off on her bicycle. Passing a newspaper stand, she bought all the newspapers from the past few days, but didn't read them right away. She folded them and tucked them into the back seat.
Chu Yu has been coming to Deyang frequently lately and is now familiar with the city's streets and alleys, unlike before when she was completely clueless. She rides her bike around the city to get a feel for the area, to see where there's high foot traffic and many vendors, so she can find her way around.
Selling quail eggs is a good business. Old Zheng can give her a thousand quail eggs a week, and she can make twenty or thirty yuan a month by reselling them. By selling quail eggs, she can earn over a hundred yuan a month. Once Uncle Shu's quail farming reaches a certain scale, she can easily earn two hundred yuan a month.
What would be a good business for an ordinary person, Chu Yu felt was far from enough.
A hundred or two a month isn't enough! Earning a hundred or two a day is more like it! God gave her a chance to be reborn, to let her witness the era that her predecessors spoke of, where "everywhere is a golden opportunity" and "gold is everywhere," not to let her lie down and do nothing.
If you want to become famous early, you should also start making money early.
In a few years, when everyone knows that self-employed individuals can make a lot of money, more and more people will join the industry, and it will definitely not be as easy to make money as it is now.
With gold everywhere in front of him, Chu Yu was excited just thinking about it, so how could he stay idle?
Naturally, people would try every means to make money.
Bayi Road ahead is the first road in Deyang with traffic lights. People from the countryside have never seen traffic lights before, and when they come to the city, they all want to take a day trip to Bayi Road.
On Bayi Road, people were packed together, and as soon as the green light came on, the cyclists rushed forward in a swarm.
Chu Yu was a little thirsty after a busy morning, so she parked her bicycle by the roadside and bought an ice pop.
While eating popsicles, I unknowingly arrived at a spacious place. Looking up, I saw the signboard at the entrance with the seven large characters "Baoguo State-owned Button Factory".
Returning to the 1980s, Chu Yu witnessed various state-owned factories.
Pharmaceutical factory, rubber shoe factory, button factory, fertilizer factory...
The reform of state-owned enterprises in the 1990s led to the demise of most state-owned factories and brought about one of the most famous waves of layoffs in history.
Employees who had secured stable jobs and received government-subsidized grain rations were forced to lay off their employers after decades of service. They faced social changes with bewilderment and had no choice but to seek employment elsewhere.
Chu Yu used to think that the previous generation sacrificed themselves for the prosperity of the country, and we should not forget their sacrifices.
Who knew that a dream would take me back to the 1980s, and I would become the "previous generation" mentioned in my previous life, returning to a point of historical change.
The cicadas were chirping noisily. Chu Yu took a bite of her popsicle and heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Chu Yu!"
Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a woman wearing a white shirt, black pants, and flesh-colored sandals. Her outfit wasn't particularly fashionable, but she had a decent appearance, with her hair in a ponytail, and her eyebrows and eyes vaguely resembled Chu Yu's.
"Big Cousin?" It was Shu Lan, the eldest daughter of Uncle Shu.
This was the first time Chu Yu had met Shu Lan, but it wasn't the first time Shu Lan had met her. The cousins had a good relationship and there wasn't much formality between them.
Shulan pulled her to a shady spot, fanning herself with her hand because of the heat. "Why did you come to Deyang? Where's my aunt? Didn't she come with you?"
Uncle Shu was unhappy with Sister Shu Lan's boyfriend and forced them to break up.
Shulan couldn't let go of her boyfriend and kept avoiding her second uncle. She didn't go home after the New Year, so she naturally didn't know that Shu Hui had divorced Zhou Jian'an and that the four of them, mother and daughters, were living at her second uncle's house.
Chu Yu then told her what had happened, and Shu Lan's eyes widened in surprise.
She hasn't been home for six months, and she's missed so many things!
Her long-suffering aunt was actually able to stand up for herself and divorce her husband!
Shulan had the feeling that she was reading a book when she suddenly lost focus and the book suddenly ended.
"What's wrong with your dad? My aunt worked so hard to support his studies, and he finally made it through, and now he wants to divorce her. He's a heartless bastard!" Shulan said bitterly.
Chu Yu shrugged. "Sister, let's not talk about him. What are you doing in Deyang?"
Shulan pointed to the button factory ahead, "I'm an apprentice at a garment factory, right? A batch of buttons that our factory got from here had a problem, so they asked me to come and exchange them. The buttons were so heavy, it took me ages to drag them over after I got off the bus. Luckily, I ran into you."
Chu Yu naturally couldn't say anything else, so he helped her carry the two sacks of buttons onto the car, placing one sack on the crossbar and the other on the back seat.
