Chapter 73 Big Brother's Canteen
Pu Fen quickly did some calculations in her mind. She thought it would be best to get a job so that she could get a salary every month.
But looking at Pu Xiang's expression, she is not going to give in at all. Besides, she has to look at people's faces when she comes to work here.
If Shen Xiaoyan was sent to Pu Xiang's care, it would be tantamount to letting Pu Xiang spend money in vain to raise a child for their family.
With this calculation, it seems like it’s a good idea to give Shen Xiaoyan to Pu Xiangguan?
When she returns to her husband's family, she will be able to stand up straight. Which relative can help raise a child like this?
Giving you a job and having to work is really like giving money for nothing.
"That's fine too."
Pu Fen clearly had an expression on his face that showed he had gotten a great deal, but he still looked forced.
Yu Gaozhu winked at Pu Xiang, who told her to be patient and not to be anxious, as she had a plan in mind.
Li Xiaocao jumped out and said, "Third sister, if you let Xiaoyan move to your place, will Mo Yang have any complaints? And if you open a shop, do you have time to come over?"
Pu Xiang had been thinking about this for a long time and said, "I definitely don't have time, so I'll let Xiaoyan's household registration be registered with me, and let Big Brother take care of her meals and let San
If we live with a child, I can let her come to my place at night. We live in the same neighborhood, so it’s convenient.”
In fact, Shen Xiaoyan is already so old, spends more than half of her time in school, and has a well-behaved personality, so it really doesn't take much time and effort to take care of her.
When Li Xiaocao heard this, she thought it was a good arrangement. She glanced at her daughter-in-law and saw that she nodded and did not look unhappy. She felt relieved.
Her third sister is a good person and is willing to support her elder sister, so she feels relieved.
After sending her mother and a bunch of other people away, Pu Xiang didn't take it seriously. She went home in the evening and talked about it with Mo Yang.
Pu Xiang said, "Jingjing is also going to transfer to the county this semester. It's perfect. Let her live with Xiaoyan. We have two houses. Let them choose one and we can live in the other. This way everyone has space and can live comfortably."
In fact, it’s opposite door, not far away.
Mo Yang thought about it and felt that this was fine.
He had no objection to Pu Xiang bringing her second sister's child home. Pu Xiang was always clear-headed and since she did it, she must have her reasons.
Besides, a child doesn’t need much for food, clothing and flowers.
They can fully afford it with their current financial capabilities.
After Pu Xiang finished talking to Mo Yang, she remembered something and reminded him, "By the way, if my second brother-in-law comes to you, you must not agree to let him into your factory. He is a die-hard drunkard."
The kind that never changes in a lifetime.
Fortunately, Mo Yang was not that kind of bad person. After Pu Xiang mentioned it, he agreed immediately.
There are advantages to the two of them becoming a family. They don't have so many relatives, which saves a lot of trouble.
But even so, some people still came to Puxiang.
Her mother's sisters, her aunts, relatives from her grandparents' generation, and even her father-in-law and mother-in-law's generation, people she wasn't very familiar with, all wanted to come and establish relationships with them and ask for a job for her child.
When Pu Xiang saw this situation, she didn't want any of them. She recommended all the little girls to the clothing factory, and the little boys to the construction site of Liu Xiaoyu's husband.
It's not a good job, but as long as you are willing to work hard, it is better than farming in the village. Besides, you can gain experience by going out, and if you want to start your own small business in the future, it will be fine.
It's not like they are asked to do the same thing for their whole lives.
Pu Xiang is a man of action. He does what he says and urges the transfer of Shen Xiaoyan's household registration.
Fortunately, the current basic household registration policy is still in place. As long as you spend money, you can change your agricultural to non-agricultural status. Otherwise, it would be impossible to change your household registration.
Change residence, transfer school.
After a series of operations, in less than a week, Shen Xiaoyan began to adapt to the new life in the county town.
Mo Jingjing also transferred to the same school as her. She stayed in the town's primary school for a longer period of time in order to skip a grade.
The management of schools in towns is not as strict as that in counties, so it is easier to skip grades.
It was also a coincidence that Mo Jingjing and Shen Xiaoyan transferred to the same school and the same class at about the same time.
Finally, the two lived in the same house.
Mo Jingjing strongly agreed with the idea of completely separating the rooms from the "parents".
"Let's choose Aunt Xiangxiang's house."
Shen Xiaoyan didn't dare to speak, but Mo Jingjing was not polite.
She had considered it very carefully. She could choose her own home, but Shen Xiaoyan would feel uncomfortable. It would be best to choose Puxiang, which is Shen Xiaoyan's aunt's home and also her stepmother's home, neither of which is her own home.
As for his father, he doesn't have to live in his wife's house like a live-in son-in-law.
Of course, she felt that her father was even worse than a live-in son-in-law. Although he was an official match with a certificate, he was always in the position of a "male pet" and was worried about being divorced no matter what.
Seeing him never forgetting to exercise his eight-pack abs, Mo Jingjing really felt uncomfortable watching it.
Because there were Shen Xiaoyan and Mo Jingjing, plus Pu Jun and Pu Li, there were four children in total. They had to take care of the meals. Everyone had breakfast at home, lunch at school, and Pu Jianguo was responsible for dinner.
After all, he has run a snack stand and a small restaurant. I'm not sure how delicious the food he cooks is, but he knows how to cook a few home-cooked dishes.
By the way, he also delivered lunch and dinner to his wife and his third sister.
He was good at this job and enjoyed it. After all, his wife was looking after his own dry goods store and he had hired other staff, so he didn't need to do much.
He is not very good at talking, so he can never come up with a clever way of speaking to sell things.
When Pu Xiang saw this, she simply talked to her brother and gave him some money every month so that he could take charge of the two meals a day for her three sales clerks in the store.
A meal consists of only three or four dishes and a soup, which are then packed in a large lunch box and delivered to the store.
He can make deliveries with just a bicycle.
After Pu Jianguo did the math, he found that he still had money to earn, so he was quite happy.
After he had been delivering meals for a month or two, he suddenly said he wanted to get a job delivering meals.
Because of this, Yu Gaozhu came over and complained to Pu Xiang.
"He brought me food every day, and the owners of the shops next door saw him and asked if he could be my partner. Your brother had to come over to deliver food anyway, so he agreed. Then, one person told another, and five or six people came to ask. Some of them had wives not around, some were not good at cooking, and some were too lazy to do it and wanted to make things easier. They were all willing to do it if I paid them some money to solve the problem... I never thought I could make so much money."
Pu Xiang thought, that’s not true, the takeout industry is so developed in later generations, there is a market only when there is demand.
"If my brother wants to do it, let him do it. Buy him a storefront and set up a small canteen to do food delivery. If the business doesn't work out, rent the storefront out. It won't be a loss."
Yu Gaozhu had the same idea. If there were too many people, how could they make it in time if they just fried the food on the gas stove at home?
If you do a lot, you still have to do it on a big scale.
Pu Jianguo, a man who can do nothing even with three sticks, finds it boring to work as a laborer under his wife's nose every day.
Finally we found something he can do, so we let him do it.
Men all want face. If they have their own job, they will feel they can hold their backs high and their family relationships will be more harmonious.
After talking about Pu Jianguo's accidental discovery of his "life path", Yu Gaozhu thought of Shen Xiaoyan, and then the couple Pu Fen and Shen Chengcai.
"Third sister, are you really going to keep Xiaoyan? I'm not trying to instigate you, but the child has a father and a mother, and you should just treat her as your aunt, and everything will fall into your hands..."
Pu Xiang looked at all these people and finally found that among these families, only her sister-in-law was a sensible person.
Put Shen Xiaoyan in her place. She spent money and effort on the child. Her parents, eldest brother, second sister, and that drunk second brother-in-law, none of them thought that this was wrong.
They all think that it is natural between relatives, especially sisters.
Pu Xiang said, "Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean. I am not doing this for the sake of my second sister and second brother-in-law. If it were for them, I would not care at all. I just want Xiaoyan to have a better life. It's not easy for her to be a little girl. I can afford to spend this money, don't worry. In fact, it's not just Xiaoyan, Pu Jun and Pu Li are the same. Sister-in-law, you are capable now, so I won't say more. If they are in the same situation as Xiaoyan, I will also take this money."
Because of their poor family background, these two children did not go to high school even after they were admitted, let alone go to college.
This is a thorn in the hearts of this family, and in fact, it is also a thorn in Pu Xiang's heart.
It's not that she was short of money at the time, but her sister-in-law said that if she didn't lend her the money, she would not continue to study. Although she felt it was a pity, she did not insist.
Now that she thinks about it, she should have been more assertive and paid for her nephews and nieces' schooling. What's the problem?
At that time, she set up a stall and sold fast food, and made a small profit.
At that time, she was still worried about not giving the money to her parents' home, fearing that her in-laws would be unhappy.
Come to think of it, she was really stupid. She had the ability to do it, and it didn't cost her husband's family money. Her sister-in-law was a sensible person, and her eldest brother was not the kind of person who would suck the blood of her, his own sister. Why did she shrink back?
When Yu Gaozhu heard Pu Xiang's words, he knew that she was telling the truth and was immediately moved.
It was the same when she was setting up the snack stand, and Pu Xiang was helping her sincerely.
That silly girl Pu Fen is the reason why she has such a good sister but she is not smart at all.
If she could just make some progress, she would have a better life.
But he just keeps a drunkard as his treasure.
"Your second sister... forget it."
Yu Gaozhu opened her mouth to complain a few words, but then she thought better of it. After all, they were sisters, and as their sister-in-law, she should just say less.
Pu Xiang didn't have that concern and said, "My second sister is a fool. After marrying Shen Chengcai, she became a lazy bum and didn't want to go out to work. You see, if I said I would take care of Shen Xiaoyan, these two people would definitely not look for a job again. They would probably give birth to a second child at home and try to have a son."
Yu Gaozhu's eyes widened: "No way? Life at home is already like this, and you still want to have a son?"
Is this crazy?
Pu Xiang said, "Sister-in-law, just wait and see if my guess is right."
Her second sister had complained to her countless times in the second half of her life, saying that Shen Chengcai was not making progress and always beat her because she didn't give birth to a son and it was all because of her failure to conceive.
If she had given birth to a son instead of a daughter, Shen Chengcai would definitely not be like that.
I have said this many times in front of Shen Xiaoyan, so it would be strange if Shen Xiaoyan was willing to go home later.
Now that Shen Xiaoyan is no longer a burden, Pu Xiang casually guessed that the couple no longer have to work or do anything, and they have plenty of time to focus on their son.
