The move was on the next morning. Han Guobin didn't come back the previous night, so he drove home early the next morning just after dawn.
Chen Rou had also gotten up and was cooking in the kitchen.
Everyone in the village knows that we are going to move to the city today, so they all came here when they heard the news.
Chen Rou was busy, so she let Han Guobin entertain her.
But since I already knew that we were really going to move, I didn't say any more words of disobedience.
There was also a person from the same clan, also from the old Han family, who was of the same generation as Han Guobin. He smiled and said that if the business was profitable, he would introduce him to the company.
Han Guobin also agreed and said that if it was profitable, he would definitely introduce it to me.
But it was just a verbal response. Not only were they not familiar with each other, but there was also a bit of a festive atmosphere. The key point was that the other party had no capital.
Introducing such a past would require spending money and effort, and you might not get anything good in return.
Unless you can guarantee a profit by investing your money, or you will be blamed for the rest of your life, who would do such a stupid thing?
Chen Rou asked Han Guobin to eat first. After breakfast, they washed all the pots, bowls, and pans and put them in the car. That was it.
After a while, Brother Han, Sister-in-law Han, Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu also came over.
"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving this house to you. Please help me take a look around when you have time." Chen Rou said.
Mrs. Han took the key and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask your brother to come over and check every day."
Chen Rou nodded, and there was nothing else to explain.
The family got on the car and left the village under the gaze of the villagers.
The villagers are definitely not good-looking, but that is not their business. It is the couple’s own business.
But Han’s mother often spoke ill of him in the days that followed.
But Chen Rou could no longer hear these. When everyone went into the city, Han Guoli was already waiting here with Yaoyao.
"Third aunt, how long have you been waiting here?" Chen Rou asked with a smile.
"I just got here too, and there's nothing to do at home." Han Guoli said with a hearty laugh.
Ever since moving out, Han Guoli has been living an easy life.
The whole family depends on Zhang Jiang, which is indeed a lot of pressure. Zhang Jiang only earns 25 yuan a month, and there is not much left after all the calculation. After all, the children have grown up and are not the same as they were when they were little. Consumption in all aspects has increased.
But she can finally hold on, and when the harvest is in the countryside, she can make money again.
So even if life becomes difficult after moving out, the biggest benefit of moving out is that you don’t have to suffer as before.
"Have you eaten them all?" Chen Rou gave the fourth one to Han Guobin, then came down and took it from him, asking.
"We've already eaten. Zhang Jiang and Haohao have gone to work and school." Han Guoli said.
Korean Air went over and opened the door.
"Third aunt, does Yaoyao want to go to elementary school with me this year?" Han Zhou asked.
"Yaoyao, wait for two years before going up again." Han Guoli said.
"Should we take it to the shop?" Han Zhou asked.
"If you want to take them over, your mother, Chengzi and Lao Si and I are all there." Han Guoli said.
"That's great, let the two sisters play together." Han Zhou said.
This way he can go to school with peace of mind in the second half of the year without having to worry about his sister being bored.
However, Zhang Yaoyao was a shy and self-deprecating person. She didn't say anything and just lowered her head.
"Go take all your things back to your room and put them away." Chen Rou said.
Han Hang carried their belongings back to their room, and Chen Rou, Han Guobin, and Han Guoli also began to pack up their belongings.
I took a look at the chickens in the backyard and saw that they were all living well without any problems, so I didn't need to worry about them.
Zhang Yaoyao couldn't help but show envy in her eyes when she saw that her cousins actually had their own rooms.
"No one lives in this room." Zhang Yaoyao looked towards the next room.
"No one lives there now, but someone will live there in the future. When my sister grows up a little, she will go there by herself," said Han Zhou.
"Why?" Han Cheng was stunned.
"You are a girl." Han Zhou said, "When you grow up, you should sleep by yourself."
"I'm a girl." Han Cheng finally remembered and nodded.
When girls grow up, they have to sleep by themselves and can no longer sleep with their brothers.
"But what should I do if I'm scared?" Han Cheng remembered that she was afraid of the dark.
"Let the fourth child go over to accompany you. By then, he will be grown up and won't sleep with his parents anymore." Han Zhou said.
"Okay." Han Cheng nodded.
Zhang Yaoyao really wanted to come over here and sleep, but she didn't dare to say it.
Han Zhou held the fourth child in his arms and recited the lessons while holding him. He couldn't let himself be outdone by his classmates in the city, he had to work hard!
Chen Rouze and Han Guoli went to the warehouse. This warehouse was in the backyard. Han Guobin had someone build it and planned to use it to store sundries. But there was nothing to store at the moment, so it was used to store food and other supplies.
Just last night, Han Guobin did not return to the village, but he drove to her uncle's house. He did not enter the village, but was at the entrance of the village. Her eldest cousin and second cousin were already waiting there.
Now the house is full of supplies, including soybeans, flour, eggs and so on.
"When does second sister-in-law plan to open the shop?" Han Guoli said after looking at it.
"Let's not open it yet, let's set up a stall first." Chen Rou said, telling him her plan.
She planned to start with the steamed buns business. She would make the buns in the morning and put them into clean wooden boxes, which she would pad with oil paper. She would then take the buns out to see where there were many people, to test the market and see what the public’s tastes were.
"That's fine too." Han Guoli nodded and said, "What time should I come over?"
"You have to come around four in the morning." Chen Rou said.
Han Guoli agreed.
"Let your third uncle take you here." Chen Rou said.
"There's no need for that. It's only a ten-minute walk, and it's a straight road." Han Guoli said indifferently.
Chen Rou said, "You still have to let your third uncle take you there. It won't matter if he goes back to catch up on some sleep."
"Listen to your second sister-in-law." Han Guobin said.
"Okay then." Han Guoli nodded.
"Ten dollars a month, don't think it's too little, Third Aunt." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"No money required, just come and help." Han Guoli shook her head and said.
"If you don't want money, I wouldn't dare to ask you to come over." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Han Guobin went to work. The place was not far from the Transportation Department and it only took about ten minutes by bike.
Chen Rou first brought Han Hang to the school to register. This was considered a transfer, and there was a notification and a transcript, as well as a letter of introduction and a seal from the town's primary school principal. The school was happy to accept such a good student.
The enrollment went very smoothly and I went to class on the same day.
The school is a little far from here, about 40 minutes away, but there is no need to worry. Han Guoli went directly to Zhang Haohao's class and told him that Hanghang was here to attend the second grade, in Class 2, Grade 2. When he went back, he should remember to find him and go home together.
Zhang Haohao agreed and ran over to see his cousin after class.
The two brothers agreed to meet after school and go home together.
Chen Rou took Han Guoli and a few other little kids out to buy things.
We already have a wooden box at home, but we need to tear a piece of oil paper to use as a cushion, and we also need to buy oil paper bags to wrap dumplings for customers.
I bought some candies for the children to share, and then continued to stroll. Now that I live in the city, I always need to get familiar with the city.
Han Guoli is familiar with the city and has been married here for many years.
He even took me to the bathhouse and said, "This is the good thing about the city. In the future, you can go to the bathhouse to take a bath in the winter. It's a dime per person for adults and five cents per person for children."
"I heard from Guobin that he and his colleagues went to the provincial capital to wash it, and it was the third time." Chen Rou said.
"That's a bit more expensive than the county town." Han Guoli said.
There are other things in the county town, such as parks, so Chen Rou walked around and became familiar with the surroundings.
"The city is so big." said the Orange Girl.
"It's very big, so you can't run around, okay? Otherwise, we won't be able to find you even if we want to." Han Zhou said carefully.
He has to wait until September to start his grade and does not have to go to school yet.
"I know." Orange Girl nodded.
After walking around, I saw that it was about time so I went home to cook.
Han Guoli didn't stay, she took Yaoyao back.
Chen Rou soaked the mushrooms as soon as she got home.
I will make two kinds of buns tomorrow, one is mushroom and pork buns, and the other is pickled vegetable and pork buns.
We have some mushrooms at home. We started saving them last year when we planned to go to the city to do business this year.
There are also pickles, brought from my hometown. As for pork, there is none at home at the moment, but Han Guobin will go to Lao Yang to buy it after get off work in the evening.
Chen Rou came to the backyard to take a look again, took a hoe and started to hoe the ground. It was such a small piece of land, so she could just sow some cabbage seeds and plant them.
When I return to the village after a while, I will transplant some tomato and cucumber seedlings from the village.
Especially tomato seedlings, they can be seen everywhere in the village and there are plenty of them.
Han Hang came back at noon. He came back with Zhang Haohao, but he knew the way here, so he didn't need his cousin to lead the way. He came back by himself from his third aunt's house.
"Brother, how is your classmate?" Han Zhou asked.
"I don't know. I haven't taken the exam yet." Han Hang shook his head.
"Does the teacher have any questions?" Han Zhou asked.
"Yes, I was asked to recite a lesson in class." Han Hang nodded.
"Have you memorized it?" Han Zhou asked.
"I've memorized it." Han Hang nodded. This lesson established his position in the class and he made several friends in the morning.
After Chen Rou came back from working in the backyard, she started cooking and eating.
After arriving in the city, the eldest brother Hanhang was obviously under a lot of pressure. After eating and washing the dishes, he went back to study.
Ever since he was in upper grade, he has been helping to wash the dishes at home.
Similarly, the second child is going to school this year, and he will have to share the burden then. In addition, he has to help take care of the naughty fourth child.
It’s not enough to just study hard. The conditions are not that good.
Chen Rou had already started kneading the dough, and when she was halfway done Han Guoli brought Yaoyao over.
Let the children play by themselves while Chen Rou and Han Guoli were kneading dough in the kitchen. It was not much, just a few pounds of dough.
But Han Guoli is still a little worried whether it might be too much?
"Not much, just right." Chen Rou said, "If business is good, I'll have to buy two or three more pots in the future."
Han Guoli didn't say anything.
In the evening, Han Guobin did not go home directly after get off work. Instead, he went to the slaughterhouse. It was only half past ten when he got home after cutting some meat.
Chen Rou came out to open the door for him.
"Now that I don't have to go back to my hometown, I feel a little uncomfortable." Han Guobin said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work over the years." Chen Rou said sincerely.
She knew that before this, this man would ride his bicycle for two hours after work to go back to the village to be with his family.
"You know I'm working hard, so just be nice to me tonight." Han Guobin said, touching his wife's butt.
Chen Rou blushed and ignored him. She picked up the fourth child, helped him pee, fed him some food, and then let him continue to sleep.
The couple was not afraid of hard work and worked till the middle of the night before going to sleep.
Chen Rou got up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen to busy herself. Before long, Han Guoli came over and knocked on the door.
Chen Rou went out to open the door for her. Seeing Zhang Jiang, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Uncle."
"What's the big deal?" Zhang Jiang smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"Go back and sleep for a while." Han Guoli said.
"I know." Zhang Jiang nodded.
Chen Rou and her sister-in-law Han Guoli started to get busy, lighting the coal stove, chopping meat, mushrooms and pickles.
Especially lighting the coal stove, which is a technical job, but Han Guoli is very experienced and it is no problem for her.
I was busy until six o'clock and had packed half a box of buns.
"Third aunt, you cook first. There are salted eggs in the clay pot. When you are done cooking, scoop them out for Third Uncle and the others. I'll go out first." Chen Rou said to Han Guoli.
"Third sister-in-law, can you do it alone?" Han Guoli asked.
"Sure." Chen Rou nodded.
The kitchen was handed over to Han Guoli. Han Guoli cooked some food and served it in a pot.
"Hanghang, Third Aunt has gone back first. You should brush your teeth and eat first." Han Guoli came into the room and called her eldest nephew.
"Okay." Seeing that it was already light outside, Han Hang got up.
Han Guoli took a pickled egg and some porridge and went back first, leaving it to Zhang Jiang and his son and daughter to eat. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast before rushing to the place her second sister-in-law mentioned.
When I came over, I saw someone had just bought two buns.
"Why did you come here so quickly? Haven't you eaten yet?" Chen Rou was about to give her a bun.
"Keep it and sell it. I'll go back and eat it with you, my second sister-in-law. There's no rush." Han Guoli stopped him.
While they were talking, someone else came over to ask. There was no need to shout, because there was a sign selling buns hanging in front of Chen Rou's bicycle.
The price and food coupons were written on the label. If the price was right, the other party would take the money and food coupons and buy it.
Most of the boxes of buns were sold out in a short while after six o'clock. Not many people came to buy, just two or three. But they were all sold out in about half an hour.
"It's sold out so quickly?" Han Guoli looked at the empty bottom of the box and couldn't help but say with joy.
Today is the first day of making them, and we didn’t make many. However, since the buns are quite big, a pound of flour can only make fifteen buns, and we made more than fifty buns in total. How come all of them are sold out already?
She didn't know how much profit it was, but Chen Rou had an idea.
Excluding food coupons, each bun was sold for cents, with a profit of less than two cents. The profit from these buns this morning was about 70 cents.
"Let's go back and have breakfast. We'll make more tomorrow." Chen Rou said as she packed up her things.
"Okay!" Han Guoli was happier than her second sister-in-law. If she took her second sister-in-law's salary, then her second sister-in-law must have earned it, otherwise she would be embarrassed to take it.
It was not yet seven o'clock when I got home, and Han Guobin was just brushing his teeth.
When he saw their aunt and sister-in-law coming back, he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?" He spoke slurredly because there was toothpaste in his mouth.
"Brother, they are all sold out, more than fifty buns!" Han Guoli couldn't help but say.
Han Guobin was obviously quite surprised.
Needless to say, his wife's cooking skills are impeccable and are not inferior to those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants.
But after all, it is a state-owned restaurant and an old brand.
That's why he was worried that his wife would be frustrated, but today it seems that he was really worrying too much?
"Second sister-in-law left at six o'clock. How long has it been since then? When I went there, I would come here to buy one after another. She made less today. If she made more, I guess they would all be sold out." Han Guoli said.
"Wife, it's okay." Han Guobin rinsed his mouth and looked at his wife and said.
Chen Rou smiled, but also said: "Bring back more pork tonight."
"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.
Han Guoli went home to eat, and Han Hang also went with his third aunt to go to school with his cousin.
After Han Guoli finished eating, she brought Yaoyao here and also brought some food. The main reason was that she didn't have time to go back home to cook breakfast, so she just cooked it here and brought the food back home.
Chen Rou naturally had no objection. She let Han Guobin take care of the child at home, and Chen Rou brought Han Guoli to the vegetable market.
But the vegetable market at that time was really barren, with nothing available.
I wanted to buy some leeks and onions, but there was none.
"If the big guys in the city come to the city to sell vegetables, I think their business will be very good." Chen Rou said.
"We can't sell it. There's only a small amount of land on our own. How can we afford to sell it?" said Han Guoli.
Chen Rou nodded, but she was thinking that it should be soon. There might be news about the household contract responsibility system next year.
Han Guoli didn't ask her second sister-in-law how much she earned today, but after what happened today, it was obvious that Han Guoli was much more confident.
Today is the first day, and there will be returning customers in the future. I cannot say that business will get better and better, but it will definitely not be worse than today.
The two of them came across leeks at the black market and bought bundles of them. They were very cheap, just a dime for a big bundle.
So the number of buns increased from the original two to three.
That night, Han Guobin came back with two kilograms of pork. Chen Rou got up in the late night, and Han Guoli also came on time.
The aunt and sister-in-law got to work. Practice makes perfect, and they worked even faster than yesterday.
Two bowls of noodles were distributed today. After the wooden box was filled, there was still some left, so she covered the pot. Chen Rou took it out to sell first. After Han Guoli brought food back home, she came over to help her sister-in-law. Sure enough, business today was better than yesterday.
There were quite a few returning customers today.
After they were sold out, Chen Rou rode her bike back to get the rest. Han Guoli was waiting there with a sign, asking those who came to buy buns to wait. She went home to get them and then came over.
Chen Rou quickly came over with the remaining half wooden box of buns. It took her an hour to complete today's business.
The author has something to say: PS: It’s a little late, sorry
