Chapter 250
When Jiang Meishu heard this, she subconsciously refused, "Mom, how can this be possible? Uncle Lin is taking care of you. What will you do if he follows us?"
Liang's mother said, "I still have Lanxiang's here."
She was talking about the nanny at home.
Jiang Meishu still shook her head. "No, Lanxiang wants to follow you. Besides, she's not familiar with your taste, so you won't like what she makes."
"Besides, Lao Liang and I don't eat at home every day. We often eat out after being out for a long time, and letting Uncle Lin wait with us is a complete waste of time."
Seeing that she refused straightforwardly.
Liang's mother didn't know what to say. "Then I'll ask Lao Lin to make some half-cooked food, and you can bring it over?"
"For example, frying some crispy pork, making some peach cakes, almond cakes, etc., can all be put into a lot of things."
These things that are difficult for others are not difficult for Lao Lin.
This time, Jiang Meishu did not refuse. She was really greedy for Uncle Lin's cooking skills. If she was not reluctant to be separated from Liang Qiurun, she would have returned to Guangzhou long ago.
Seeing that she had no objection, Liang's mother immediately asked Uncle Lin to do it, and watched Uncle Lin agree to it.
Jiang Meishu whispered, "Mom, have you paid Uncle Lin yet?"
When asked this question, Liang's mother was stunned for a moment, "No."
Money had never been a concern between her and Lao Lin; she hadn't even given him living expenses. It was only after Jiang Meishu mentioned it to her that she realized, "It was Lao Lin who had always been supporting the family, and me."
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun only paid for Liang Lanxiang's salary, and they never thought about her living expenses.
"After you leave, Lao Lin and I will discuss this matter. Not only will we not only pay you a salary, but we'll also at least provide you with living expenses."
Mother Liang murmured, "Old Lin has always been the one who suffered the loss."
Jiang Meishu hummed, "If it's not convenient for you to talk, I can talk to him."
Mother Liang shook her head and said, "I can do it myself."
Jiang Meishu thought about it and decided that she and Uncle Lin had a better relationship, so she didn't say anything. Since it was a rare trip back home, she stayed at the Little White House to accompany Mother Liang.
Of course, we were also waiting for Uncle Lin to prepare delicious food. It was only around seven o'clock and it was not dark yet, but Uncle Lin was busy preparing a lot of delicious food.
There were quite a lot of fried crispy pork and lotus root cakes, each in a big bag, plus a bag of almond crisps, wrapped in kraft paper. The mottled oil marks on them could be seen through the bag.
Looking at the pile of things, Jiang Meishu was silent for a moment, then she adjusted her mood and walked forward to take it. "Thank you, Uncle Lin."
Uncle Lin shook his head, "Family doesn't talk about this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Meishu subconsciously glanced at Liang's mother. Liang's mother rarely objected, which surprised Jiang Meishu.
“It smells really good.”
"Qiu Run and I are so happy to have you and mom here."
This is the truth. Every time she returned to the Little White House, they would prepare a bunch of things, and in the end she basically had to eat and take everything.
Uncle Lin softened his tone for once, "Then if you and Qiu Run have time, try to come back once a week. I'll prepare some delicious food for you to take to Pengcheng."
"Uncle Lin, you're being partial. You're only preparing for Qiurun and Xiaojiang, but not for Mingying and me?"
The person who asked this question was Liang Qiusong. He and Shen Mingying had finished their work and came to visit Liang's mother with things as they did before.
After Liang's mother came to Guangzhou, she lived in Liang Qiurun's house, while Liang Qiusong and Shen Mingying went out to look for a house alone.
However, it is not very far from here and is all in Yangcheng, so Liang Qiusong and Shen Mingying will often come to Xiaobailou to visit Liang's mother if they are free.
Today is no exception.
Hearing about this business, Uncle Lin said with a smile, "If you and Mingying want to eat, you can come back every day."
"Qiu Run and Xiao Jiang are different. They live farther away." He actually hopes that these children can come back every day to visit and accompany Wanru.
Liang Qiusong said, "That won't do. If we come back to eat every day, wouldn't that make us dependent on our parents?"
"Besides, I'm a very busy person now and I don't have time."
Liang Qiusong had been idle for half his life, but after coming to Guangzhou with Shen Mingying, he became more ambitious and became a rare and unique flower.
It is really too easy to make money in Guangzhou. For example, Liang Qiusong used to work in the capital, and even if he worked full time for a month, he only earned 55 yuan.
But in Guangzhou, his daily income is more than fifty-five, so the difference is naturally different.
All I can say is that money is positive energy that can make people move from laziness to diligence.
After hearing what her son said, Liang's mother was amazed. "How can you, a lazy person like you, be so busy every day?"
Liang Qiu raised his chin and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Mingying. Am I busy from morning till night now?"
Shen Mingying nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Mom, you don't know how powerful Qiu Song is now."
She handed over the two chickens in her hand and said, "Qiu Song bought these two chickens with his own money."
This really made Liang's mother look at her with new eyes.
She pulled Liang Qiusong over to chat, while Jiang Meishu asked Shen Mingying, "Second sister-in-law, is everything going well for you?"
At that time, Jiang Meishu suggested that Liang Qiurun take Shen Mingying with him, as he happened to be short of people, but this condition was rejected by Liang Qiurun.
Liang Qiurun only said one thing: he would not do business with his relatives, nor would he treat them as superiors or subordinates.
Because once you intervene in the relationship between the two parties, in the end you may not even be able to be relatives anymore.
Jiang Meishu agreed and gave up the recommendation. Shen Mingying also had her own concerns. Compared to the shabby Pengcheng, she obviously preferred the rich and profound Yangcheng.
So, I stayed like this.
When Jiang Meishu asked, Shen Mingying immediately said, "It wasn't smooth at the beginning, but it turned out well in the end."
"The product is selling very well," she whispered. "Aren't your second brother and I making the tin frog product? We're pretty familiar with it now, so we'd like to add a few more items."
"I'll give you a report, and you can help me with some reference."
Jiang Meishu hummed.
"My idea is to make money from children." Shen Mingying, who worked in a department store, knew that children's money was easier to earn than any other money. So when she arrived in Guangzhou, she set a clear goal: to produce only one product, the Tin Frog.
It started with selling a few a day, then dozens, then hundreds, and finally thousands.
After just over half a year, they have become one of the top three customers of the Tin Frog Toy Factory.
"Before, I sold tin frogs, and now I want to add glass marbles. I see that many children in the capital like this, and the same goes for children in Guangzhou. Glass marbles are played with in the streets and alleys."
"In addition to this, there are also catwalks and skipping ropes, which I would also like to add, but these two products don't seem as good as glass marbles, so I'm still hesitant."
After listening to Shen Mingying's words, Jiang Meishu thought to herself that she was worthy of coming from a department store, as her product selection was truly first-class.
Whether it is a tin frog or glass marbles, these were once the toy memories of a generation and were popular all over the country.
Thinking of this, Jiang Meishu said bluntly, "Second sister-in-law, there's nothing wrong with your product selection. Take them one by one. Since you've taken over the tin frog market, keep doing that. Then take over the glass marble market. Don't underestimate this thing. Adults can be frugal, but you really have to spend a lot on children. When glass marbles become popular all over the country, if you are the largest supplier, or to be frank, if you run a toy factory, you will be the one who makes the most money."
Shen Mingying didn't expect Jiang Meishu to have the same idea as her. "I think so too. I used to work as a buyer in a department store. There were purchase limits on candies, but toys were fine. Generally speaking, these small toys are the best sellers. They are easy to break and lose, so they have a high repurchase rate."
Jiang Meishu, "Then you can rest assured to make this product. It's just that there are too many types of products at once, so as not to bite off more than you can chew."
“If you have accumulated capital later and are able to open a toy factory like this, that’s where you can make the big bucks.”
"Of course, there's more to it than that. There are also those snacks sold at the school gate, like bubble gum, fruit leather, and spicy leather."
"Second sister-in-law, don't underestimate this thing. It may look insignificant, but in fact, its profit margin is higher than that of toys. You have to know that it is normal to play with toys for a month, half a year, or even a year or two, but what about these bubble gums, fruit leather, and spicy leather?"
"Basically, they finish the food in no time after buying it, and they will keep buying more."
"So, compared to toys, these snacks have a higher repurchase rate and higher profits."
What Jiang Meishu said was something Shen Mingying had never thought of. She stood there as if everything had suddenly dawned on her.
"Xiao Jiang, I was saying that although this selection is not bad, Qiu Song and I always say that it's always a little bit off. I thought about it for half a year and never thought that the difference here is from toys to snacks."
"And it has to be a snack that kids love to eat."
"You gave me an idea. After Qiusong and I save some money, we will definitely open a small snack factory and a toy factory."
Shen Mingying has only been in Guangzhou for half a year, but she has already become ambitious. Compared to a stagnant department store, she is obviously more suitable for a lively and competitive city like Guangzhou.
Jiang Meishu was somewhat envious of Shen Mingying's sense of smell and decisiveness. She also had a very clear goal.
Maybe this is the direct difference between her and a strong woman.
She smiled and congratulated, “Then I’ll wait for Second Sister-in-law, you will become the female factory manager in the future.”
This is the highest honor for women in this era.
Jiang Meishu didn't stay in Yangcheng for too long. At around eight o'clock, she had almost finished her conversation with Shen Mingying, and then she remembered that she had to go back to Pengcheng.
But it was dark at this time, and it might be unsafe for her to go back.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, Liang's mother called Liang Qiurun and asked him to come and pick up Jiang Meishu. As soon as Liang Qiurun finished work, he and Qiao Jiahui borrowed a car and drove all the way from Pengcheng to Guangzhou.
It was already half past nine when he arrived, which was not early at all.
When someone knocked on the door and came in, Jiang Meishu was still chatting enthusiastically with Shen Mingying, so Uncle Lin went to open the door.
The moment Jiang Meishu saw Liang Qiurun, she was delighted and immediately ran over, "Old Liang."
Liang Qiurun looked at her carefully and found that she was fine. He breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "I'll take you home."
Obviously, in Liang Qiurun's eyes, that small house of dozens of square meters is his and Jiang Meishu's home, a small home that belongs only to the two of them.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang's mother came out to persuade him to stay, "It's too late, why don't you two rest here tonight and go home tomorrow?"
Liang Qiurun shook his head. "I have to go to the construction site early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid it will be too late to go there from Yangcheng."
Liang's mother wanted to say something else.
Jiang Meishu tried to smooth things over, "Mom, Qiurun is not only going to the construction site now, but also to various units in Pengcheng, and he has to go early."
Now, Liang's mother couldn't persuade them to stay. She went over to help carry their things and sent them out, carefully advising them, "Be careful on your journey."
Jiang Meishu uttered a sigh and held Liang's mother's hand reluctantly.
Even after they got in the car and drove away, I could still see Liang's mother standing at the door in the rearview mirror.
Jiang Meishu sighed, "Lao Liang, if we have time in the future, we should go back to Yangcheng more often to visit our elders."
Not only her mother-in-law, but also Uncle Lin, her mother from her natal family, and her sister, Shen Xiaoju and others.
Liang Qiurun held the steering wheel and looked ahead. "Okay, once the project is on the road, we'll come back often."
The road from Guangzhou to Shenzhen is not easy to travel on, with potholes everywhere, making the journey extremely bumpy.
In the end, Jiang Meishu tilted her head and fell asleep in the passenger seat.
Looking at her sleeping form, Liang Qiurun tilted his head and looked at her for a long time. He smiled slightly and said, "Jiang Jiang, let's buy a car."
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
Jiang Meishu had no idea that Liang Qiurun was so cunning and actually asked her while she was asleep.
How could she answer this?
It took two hours to drive from Yangcheng to Shenzhen before we finally arrived. It was past eleven o'clock, and the China Merchants Bank's family compound was completely dark.
Liang Qiurun parked the car at the door and then touched Jiang Meishu's face, "Jiang Jiang, we're here."
Jiang Meishu was a little dazed and wanted to get up. She had been lying there for too long, and her legs and feet were a little numb when she stood up. She whispered, "My feet are numb, hold me."
Liang Qiurun naturally would not refuse. He stretched out his arms and picked up Jiang Meishu horizontally.
Jiang Meishu exclaimed, and turned back to look at the parking space. "Is it okay for us to park here?"
The entrance to the alley of the family compound is not wide. If you stop here, others may not be able to get out.
Liang Qiurun held her in his arms, taking each step steadily. "No one in the entire family compound got up earlier than me. I drove away before they could block my way."
Jiang Meishu uttered an "oh" and grabbed Liang Qiurun's neck with both hands, "You must have had a hard time."
She couldn't do it anyway. Getting up at four or five o'clock every morning was tantamount to torture for someone like Jiang Meishu.
Liang Qiurun lowered his head and pecked her forehead, "Not bad."
"What do you think about the matter I discussed with you before?"
Once they entered the family compound, they had to go up the stairs. Jiang Meishu had gained some weight now, weighing over 100 pounds, but when she got to Liang Qiurun, he carried her up the stairs, and it was surprisingly easy for him.
"What?"
Jiang Meishu was still a little confused.
"Let's buy a car so that it will be more convenient to go out." For example, today they went to Guangzhou to pick up Jiang Meishu. If he hadn't borrowed a car from Qiao Jiahui, he would probably have to wait until the early morning to ride to Guangzhou.
Jiang Meishu frowned, "I do have this idea, but we don't have enough money here."
They still owe a lot of foreign debts.
Liang Qiurun said, "Hongtai has dividends. I want to use the dividends to buy a car first. I want Jiahui and Director Li to help us go through the customs and see if there are any cars intercepted by the customs. This way, we can buy it at a cheaper price."
This is not a bad idea.
Jiang Meishu agreed immediately, "Okay."
"Wait for the opportunity first."
Liang Qiurun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she agreed. Buying a car was a big deal and would cost a lot of money. He had always been worried that Jiang Meishu was too frugal and would refuse him.
I didn't expect her to agree.
After sending Jiang Meishu upstairs, Liang Qiurun went downstairs again and took out all the food from the trunk.
Shenzhen in July is like a furnace. Although these fried crispy meats will not go bad, they cannot be kept covered, otherwise they will turn sour.
Jiang Meishu had no choice but to open the crispy pork and place it near the window to let it breathe.
Because there was so much food, in the end the entire window was filled with food and there was no room for more. She had no choice but to get a basin of cold water and put the food in the basin to cool it down.
There is an effect, but not much.
Jiang Meishu sighed, "Lao Liang, I think our family needs a refrigerator more than a car."
With a refrigerator, we don’t have to worry about the food at home going bad.
Liang Qiurun thought for a moment and said, "Then let's buy the refrigerator as well."
Jiang Meishu hesitated a little, "Lao Liang, there is still money owed outside."
Liang Qiurun whispered, "Yes, we owe money, but with our family's current income, we can pay off these debts in one year."
"There's no need to lower your quality of life because of debt."
Because whether it is a refrigerator or a car, these are things that their family urgently needs.
Jiang Meishu said, "But if Director Chen and the others knew that we spent money but didn't pay it back, it would be too inappropriate."
Still feeling guilty.
After all, she is just an honest child.
Liang Qiurun, "Give interest, according to the market price, and friends can also provide each other with business opportunities, Jiang Jiang."
He hugged her and whispered, "There's no need to have such high moral standards. We are just ordinary people."
Jiang Meishu lowered her head and nodded.
Liang Qiurun was very quick. After finishing his work the next day, he called Secretary Chen.
There are refrigerator factories in the south, but one is in Yangcheng and one is in Zhuzhou. There is none in Shenzhen.
Secretary Chen is now the factory director of Yangcheng Hongtai, and can be considered a local boss. Having reached this level, he naturally knows the factory director and salesmen of the refrigerator factory.
Secretary Chen was very quick and got a refrigerator that afternoon. He asked the salesperson to deliver it to the China Merchants Bank staff housing complex in Yangcheng.
For this reason, Liang Qiurun even took a two-hour leave and returned to the family compound. The weather was too hot, and the temperature in Shenzhen in July was almost 40 degrees Celsius.
Even if there were mountains of gold and silver outside, Jiang Meishu couldn't bear the hardship and simply stayed at home to escape the summer heat. Hearing the movement outside, Jiang Meishu was a little surprised and waited to stick her head out the window to take a look.
Wow, it turned out to be her husband Liang and a man she didn’t know. The other party was also very capable and carried a green refrigerator.
It has a single door and two sections. It’s not too high, but it’s quite heavy.
You can see that the other person's legs are being pressed so hard that they almost bend.
"Lao Liang."
Jiang Meishu shouted, put on her slippers, and ran downstairs quickly. Her shout attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
"Hey, Director Liang, Sister Jiang, are you buying a refrigerator?"
China Merchants Group is a good company, so there are many people who know the goods and can recognize the refrigerator almost at a glance.
Everyone came out to join in the fun.
Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "Yes, the weather is too hot. Let's buy a refrigerator to cool down." As soon as she said this, more neighbors came down to see the refrigerator.
Before Jiang Meishu could even touch the refrigerator, she was pushed to the side by everyone and started to touch it.
"This refrigerator is really nice. I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?"
"Not only is it not cheap, but the most important thing is that it's hard to get a ticket for the refrigerator."
"Director Liang, how much did you pay for this?"
Liang Qiurun didn't hide it either, but before answering, he pulled Jiang Meishu in to inspect the goods. Seeing her touch the refrigerator, he slowly said, "I bought it in Yangcheng and spent two thousand four."
As soon as these words fell, everyone around took a breath. Although they lived in the family compound of the China Merchants Group, for ordinary clerks.
If they don't be greedy, they will basically have a fixed salary, and the price of this refrigerator is probably enough for their family to spend without food or drink for almost two years.
“That’s not cheap.”
"Sister Jiang, you are so lucky. You can buy such an expensive item just like Director Liang said you would."
Jiang Meishu said, although Liang Qiurun was the one who arranged the goods, she was the one who paid for it, okay?
Liang Qiurun handed all the money over to her. Wasn’t it given by her?
However, these neighbors of the China Merchants Group are all noble people, so Jiang Meishu naturally would not offend them easily. She smiled and said, "Yes, my Lao Liang is good to me."
She glanced at Liang Qiurun, who nodded. Then she said to her neighbor, "Sister-in-law, if you want to buy a refrigerator, you can find Lao Liang."
“He can get a refrigerator for free.”
Everyone suddenly became lively.
"real?"
"Sister Jiang, you didn't lie to me?"
Jiang Meishu said, "That's natural."
Now, Meng Juan and the others were happy, but they were too happy. Thinking about the price of the refrigerator, they suddenly became hesitant.
"Forget it, this refrigerator is too expensive. I'll have to save up for several years to afford it."
Jiang Meishu knew that wealth should not be shown off, so she immediately said, "It's the same in our family. We borrowed the money to buy the refrigerator from Lao Liang's friends. If not, we wouldn't be able to afford it."
"No way?"
"Sister Jiang, your family is so well-off, how can you not afford a refrigerator?"
Jiang Meishu shook her head. "What's so good about it? I'm in debt. If it weren't for my husband Liang saying, 'Buy it early and enjoy it early,' I really wouldn't have been willing to borrow money to buy a refrigerator."
"Don't you agree, Lao Liang?"
