Chapter 269 Chen Cuijuan Wants to Make Money
During the week of Tuan Tuan's competition, Gu Ye also happened to be going to the capital for a meeting.
When a father and son go out together, one can take care of the other.
Shen Zhiyou has a program recording tomorrow and can't leave. While packing their luggage, she reminded them: "Look after Tuantuan and don't let him be too stressed. Pay attention to Tuantuan's mood after the exam. If he's in a good mood, talk to him. If he's in a bad mood, say less."
Gu Ye is usually very smooth-talking when talking to her.
Talking to Tuantuan and the others, it's like having poisonous stings on your lips.
"I know. He's already grown up. Even if he doesn't do well in the exam, he still needs to be able to endure it. When I was his age, I got stabbed a lot."
Shen Zhiyou glared at him, "It's a different era now, shut up."
I don’t know what’s wrong with this person. He used to be very quiet, but now he’s talking more and more.
Gu Ye: “…I can’t close it.”
Shen Zhiyou: "........You are so annoying."
For no apparent reason, the two of them started laughing again.
The four children are very independent. Tuan Tuan and Gu Ye had already packed their own things before going out, so Shen Zhiyou just checked on them.
After making sure that they had everything, Shen Zhiyou helped them zip up their bags and asked, "Why do you bring so many things when you go to the capital recently?"
Gu Ye has been there twice this year.
Gu Ye was silent for a moment, then shared his observations and some rumors he had heard.
Now some adjustments and changes are being made everywhere, just like when he and Shen Guowang were transferred from the local area to the provincial capital.
But this time the scale is even bigger.
Now many of his comrades have also heard the news and started looking for ways to transfer to civilian jobs and secure a good position in advance.
Shen Zhiyou's eyes widened instantly, "Then you..."
"I may have to be transferred to the Capital Military Region."
Gu Ye paused, then continued, "But it hasn't been confirmed yet. Even if the transfer order comes, it will be a year later. By then, Tuan Tuan and the others will have finished their exams."
"Didn't Capital TV contact you before? Do you want to go?"
Gu Ye is really able to keep his composure.
Such a big thing, but you’ve kept it to yourself until now!
Shen Zhiyou couldn't help but glare at him again: "Why didn't you wait until you were going to the capital before telling me?"
The man smiled, took his wife's hand, and with a little force, Shen Zhiyou sat on his lap: "It's something that hasn't been confirmed yet. If I tell you, it will make you worry for a few more months. Now that things are almost settled, I told you right away."
"Do you need me to contact Capital TV for you?"
Shen Zhiyou pinched him and said, "Humph, you underestimate me. They have been trying to recruit me over there. Do they still need you?"
Gu Ye saw his wife's arrogant expression, and his heart moved slightly, "They are asleep, let's go take a shower too."
Shen Zhiyou: “….”
"How can you still be like this at your age?!"
"If I can't make it, you'll be the one crying."
Her face flushed, Shen Zhiyou pinched him again: "Bah! You filthy rascal!"
Before Gu Ye's matter was settled, a letter from home arrived.
It was written by Chen Cuijuan. Tiedan and Goudan graduated from a vocational and technical school this year. Both of them joined the largest transportation factory in their city. Wang Xiulan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Along with the letter came a huge package.
What was immediately put in was the bean shreds that I would usually spend time and effort to make during the Chinese New Year.
Chen Cuijuan said in the letter that this was what Wang Xiulan insisted on doing, and that Wang Xiulan was smiling every day with her mouth never closing.
His two sons have now entered such good units, and he said that the college students assigned there were all graduates from the best schools.
He is older than Tiedan and Goudan, but technically he doesn't know as much as Tiedan and Goudan. Now Tiedan and Goudan are more respected than those college students.
Wang Xiulan didn’t know how to thank them. She was so excited that she didn’t sleep all night and cooked bean shreds all night.
At the end, Chen Cuijuan asked about their current situation and said that everything was fine at home and that houses in the county could now be bought and sold freely.
Thinking that it was always very late when they returned to the county, Chen Cuijuan and her family wanted to buy a house in the county. Now that Shen Dahe had been transferred to the county, it would be convenient for him to work in the county. She could also try to do some small business. She also asked Shen Zhiyou to give her some advice on whether to start a food business or open a small convenience store.
When Shen Zhiyou saw this, she almost spit out the tea she had just drunk.
"Mom is still thinking about making money."
The first time Chen Cuijuan saw someone setting up a stall and collecting money, her eyes were almost blinded.
After I got home, I kept thinking about it and even took the vegetables from home to the market to sell.
Now that Shen Dahe has been transferred to the county, more and more people are opening shops in the county. Chen Cuijuan can't sit still anymore, she also wants to start a small business!
"fine."
Gu Ye picked up a handkerchief and wiped his wife's mouth. "Opening a store or a small shop, cooking is too tiring. Getting up early and working late is too much for the body. Opening a small shop will give you something to do at home and not be too bored."
That's true.
Shen Zhiyou nodded, "Then I'll write a letter back to mom."
"Well, you can ask Tiedan and Goudan to keep an eye on the source of goods. Their company is in the freight business, so they must be the most familiar with this area. I can also ask Lao Zou about applying for a business license."
In just a short while, Gu Ye had already thought of almost everything that needed to be done to open a convenience store.
As he spoke, Shen Zhiyou wrote, smiling: "Gu Ye, how come you are so amazing? You are amazing at everything you do."
Gu Ye's mouth curled up when he was praised by his wife, and he couldn't stop talking: "Buy a house facing the street, preferably near the school. Business will definitely be good with many students, and it will be quiet when dealing with students. Then I can also buy some stationery to sell..."
The more they talked, the more Gu Ye wished he could go back and help Chen Cuijuan write a business plan.
Shen Zhiyou's hands were tired from writing, so she just handed him the letter paper and pen and said, "You write it."
Gu Ye: ".........Okay."
Two months later, Tuantuan’s results for the Mathematical Olympiad came out, and she was in the top ten.
This result is already very impressive for someone who has not systematically studied Olympiad mathematics.
But Tuantuan has always ranked first in every exam since he was a child, and Shen Zhiyou was worried that he would be disappointed because he didn't get a good ranking this time.
I was thinking about how to comfort him, but when I got home, I found that Tuantuan was not depressed at all. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit. "I have been doing a lot of Olympiad math problems recently. The thinking behind Olympiad math problems is different from that of regular problems. You have to do it the other way around. It's very interesting. Mom, when is the next Olympiad math competition? Please keep an eye out for me. I want to sign up. It's very interesting."
Shen Zhiyou: “…Okay.”
Yuanyuan Niannian shouted again: "Ah! Mom and Dad! Tuantuan is really abnormal! He thinks such a difficult question is very interesting!"
Later, Tuantuan participated in two smaller-scale local mathematics Olympiad competitions.
His grades got better and better. Most recently, he won the first place in the Mathematical Olympiad organized by their province. The provincial university took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Tuantuan and offered to admit him in advance.
