Chapter 486 Chen Xiumei wants to celebrate
That's right.
Wang Meili agreed with this point of view: If you want to blame someone, blame that girl named Qi, she is the only one who talks too much!
But what's the use of blaming her?
The most important thing right now is to solve the whereabouts of the mother and daughter.
"Mom, you have to make a decision. What should we do now?"
Old Lady Wang looked distressed: "I have nowhere to go and I can't make up my mind. If it doesn't work out, let's go back home."
Go back to hometown?
No!
Wang Meili refused to go back!
After taking a look at the military compound, she had an idea.
"Mom, I'm not leaving. Let's go to town and find something to do."
"If there is a suitable one, mother, you can find another one and we can settle down first."
ah?
Old Lady Wang was dumbfounded: "I...I am getting married at my age?"
Wang Meili rolled her eyes and said, "You are only in your early fifties, what's wrong with getting married?"
"Besides, you're not bad looking. Are you afraid that you won't find a suitable one after you sort them out?"
"As long as you are not picky, you will definitely find it. Mother, think about our situation."
"We just need to find a place to land."
"When I fall down, I'll find a good family. Are you still worried that no one will take care of you?"
What he said made sense, but Old Lady Wang was a little hesitant: "Where can I find it now?"
Wang Meili knew that her mother was tempted: "First find a job. I don't ask for much salary, just provide food and accommodation."
"I heard someone opened a shop in this town, let's go look for it."
Really?
Old Lady Wang had no confidence at all, but there was no other way, so the mother and daughter left.
The mother and daughter left with hatred in their hearts, and Chen Xiumei was so happy that she was spinning around.
"We must celebrate today, Zijin, our three families will have dinner together tonight!"
"puff"
Xu Zijin was happy: "No problem! Tea eggs and steamed buns for dinner."
"Hahaha...Okay! I'll go buy some eggs."
Chen Xiumei patted her sleeves and was about to go out.
Xu Zijin held her back and said, "Have you forgotten that I have eggs at home? Come on, the ones in the pot are almost cooked. Let's have another pot."
"Um."
The two women left, and Lu Hanzhou looked at Wang Jianqiang: "Are you still sad?"
"In fact, one's birth is not something that can be determined by oneself, and your mother was able to give birth to you secretly, which was already a favor."
"If she had refused to give birth, there would be no you now."
"You should report this to the regiment commander and political commissar immediately, to avoid being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."
Wang Jianqiang knew that his life experience was now a mystery in the eyes of everyone.
People are like this, the more curious they are, the more they want to know.
And as a soldier, it is important to have a clean identity.
He nodded: "Well, I'll go now."
Women don't care what men do.
Qi Hong was called over, and the three sisters happily started making tea eggs and buns.
When it comes to making buns, Chen Xiumei is an expert.
The two fillings tasted very good with the help of Xu Zijin's seasonings.
The only drawback is that the buns made from local flour do not have the fluffy and soft feeling of later generations.
"Zijin, how do you feel?"
Xu Zijin pursed his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, wait a few days. I'll have someone send you some Fuqiang flour."
ah?
Chen Xiumei opened her mouth and said, "This...this cost, isn't it too high?"
Xu Zijin smiled and shook his head: "I have an acquaintance in a flour mill in the north. I'll ask him for the internal price."
"Well, let's try some good flour first."
"For good things, even if the price can't be raised, you can still get rich by selling them at a low profit and in large quantities."
That makes sense.
If the food is good, many people will eat it.
Even if you make two cents on each bun, you can still make two dollars if you sell hundreds of buns a day.
Not to mention tea eggs and soy milk.
Chen Xiumei gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's try it. Qi Hong, let's do it together."
Qi Hong was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this bad?"
Chen Xiumei glared: "What's wrong with this? How much can I do alone?"
But Xu Zijin had other ideas.
"Sister Chen, please ask for help. Qiu Aihong is a good person. Ask her for help."
“If business is good, you can also make pancakes.”
"Sister Qi, go open a clothing store in town. I'll find someone to buy the goods for you from Guangdong Province."
"But the cost is a bit high, are you afraid?"
Selling clothes?
Qi Hong is a city dweller and is well-educated.
She said with a firm face: "Zijin, I'm not afraid."
"I will follow you even if I lose everything!"
Xu Zijin smiled: "Don't worry, I guarantee you won't lose anything."
"Sister Chen, don't worry about your business. I'll call my friend in a moment."
"Just prepare two coal stoves. I'll ask my cousin to send you a tricycle from Guang Province."
"Sister Qi, go to town first and see if there is a suitable shop."
When the two sisters heard this, they instantly became full of fighting spirit!
That night, Chen Xiumei's steamed buns were popular among everyone.
Of course, tea eggs are more popular.
After hearing their wives' plan, Wang Jianqiang and Ding Hongyang looked at Xu Zijin with even greater admiration and kept saying thank you.
"Sister-in-law, can you really do business now?"
Lu Yulan didn't say a word the whole time, and only asked after the other two families had left.
Xu Zijin looked at her and laughed: "Of course, there are many people selling things in the town now."
"Yulan, when your legs are fully healed, I will help you make money."
Lu Yulan was so excited that she nodded vigorously: "Sister-in-law, I will try my best!"
But after Chen Xiumei and Wang Jianqiang returned home and put the child to sleep, she sat down and asked him.
"Has the regiment reported this?"
Wang Jianqiang nodded: "I have reported it, and the political commissar said that it is nothing."
That's good.
Chen Xiumei breathed a sigh of relief: "Jianqiang, ask for leave and go back."
Wang Jianqiang was very confused.
He was five years old when his aunt got married.
When he was a child, he was raised by his aunt, and he disliked his "biological mother" very much.
At that time, he felt that his aunt treated him better than his own mother, and all the delicious food belonged to him.
On the day his aunt got married, he cried heart-wrenchingly, just for his aunt.
But grandma said that if my aunt didn’t get married, she would never be able to get married.
He also said that his aunt would come back to see him in the future.
But for a long time, his aunt never came back to see him.
She didn't come back until her grandfather died.
Looking at him, aunt just cried.
She is less than 40 years old, but her hair is already full of white. The once beautiful aunt has become a complete old woman.
Wang Jianqiang remembered that his feelings for his aunt had long faded by then.
Watching his aunt crying, he felt nothing but a little sad.
Three years after my grandfather's death, he joined the army.
When my grandmother passed away, I was on a mission and did not return.
When he returned after completing his mission, his grandmother had been buried for several months.
So, after his aunt got married, he only saw her once.
"I... don't have any leave for the time being... let's talk about it later."
Is he scared?
Chen Xiumei feels sorry for her man.
The two of them are from the same town, and Wang Jianqiang and Chen Xiumei's second brother were classmates in elementary school.
She married him because of her second brother's arrangement.
