"Is it so profitable to be a self-employed person now?" Qian's mother couldn't believe her ears.
"It's indeed profitable, but it's a pity that we didn't have enough money at the time. Otherwise, we could have bought those three shops and become our own bosses!" said Luo Yanqiu.
She is regretting it so much now. She didn't expect that the clothing store business would be so good.
"It's easy for you to say that, sister-in-law. More than 30,000 yuan is not a small amount! Besides, we have just opened and it is the National Day holiday, otherwise we would not have such a high turnover." Qian Qian said.
After returning to the room after dinner, Qian Shen asked his wife about the store today.
"Yan Qiu, what do you think if we open our own clothing store?" Qian Shen asked.
"The idea is good, but we don't have the capital! From finding a store to decorating and purchasing goods, it will cost at least 10,000 yuan. We don't have that much money." Luo Yanqiu said.
In the past, she wouldn't even blink an eye at taking out 10,000 yuan! But now all her money had been confiscated, and she couldn't even find a hundred yuan on her body.
This time, Yun Yan paid for all the food, accommodation and transportation for our trip to Guangzhou. How could we have the money to open a shop?
After hearing what his wife said, Qian Shen had no choice but to give up the idea.
"But don't worry, maybe in a year or two we will be able to open our own clothing store!" Luo Yanqiu said.
"It's not easy for you to sell clothes as a store manager." Qian Shen said with a wry smile.
"Don't underestimate me. Based on today's net profit, Qianqian and I can get a commission of about one hundred yuan!" Luo Yanqiu said.
"The commission for a day is more than 100 yuan. This is too much!" Qian Shen said in disbelief.
You have to know that the monthly salary of a director is only more than 60 yuan now, and they can earn more than 100 yuan in commission a day. It's really incredible.
The next day, Qian Qian and Luo Yanqiu thought that there wouldn't be so many profitable customers today, but they found it even busier than yesterday!
After closing the store at six in the afternoon, Qian Qian was counting the money at the counter while Luo Yanqiu was counting the goods.
"Qianqian, I think we should ask Guangzhou City to deliver the goods to us in advance. A quarter of the clothes we brought back have been sold in the past two days. If we don't replenish the stock in advance, I'm afraid there will be no clothes to sell later!" Luo Yanqiu said.
"I'll call Yang Qian early tomorrow morning and ask her to send more clothes over," Qian Qian said.
The next few days were very busy for them, while Yun Yan was quite relaxed. Originally, Shen Ye had planned to return to Beijing for the National Day holiday, but Grandpa Shen said that he had already taken a lot of leave this year and was worried about the negative impact, so he asked him not to come back until the Chinese New Year.
Yun Yan had no objection to Grandpa Shen’s arrangement. After all, she had long been accustomed to the days when Shen Ye was not around!
Time flew by, and soon it was the eve of the Spring Festival in 1985. Yunyan was now almost eight months pregnant, and her belly was frighteningly large.
Chen Ye returned to Beijing early, went to the Ministry of Trade to report on his work, and then stayed at home with Yun Yan and her grandparents.
The three clothing stores in Jing City have closed down, and Qian Qian sent the last payment to Yun Yan.
"Qian Qian, have you ever thought about opening a clothing store in Hai City?" Yun Yan asked.
She knew that Qian Qian and her sister-in-law had earned a lot of money in the past six months. Even if they couldn't afford to buy a shop, it was enough to rent one.
"Open a branch in Hai City? Yunyan, I want to go." Qian Qian said.
In the past few months, she and her sister-in-law's combined salary and bonuses have probably earned more than 3,000 yuan. This is something she never dared to think about before, but now it has actually come true!
"You can leave after the Chinese New Year. Xia Garment Factory will provide you with goods." Yun Yan said.
"But Yunyan, I may not have enough money. Can you lend me some first?" Qian Qian asked embarrassedly.
"That's no problem. Just write an IOU for how much you want to borrow." Yun Yan said.
As the saying goes, treat the villain first and the gentleman later. No matter how good the relationship is, we must be careful with each other.
"Okay, I understand! I'll go back and discuss it with my family, and then we'll talk about it after the New Year." Qian Qian said.
After finishing her business, she left. She knew that Yunyan and her husband had not seen each other for a long time, and she couldn't be a light bulb here!
"Wife, have you finished your business?" Seeing Qian Qian leave, Chen Ye came out of the bedroom.
"Yes, the New Year is coming soon. Qian Qian brought the last payment for goods at the end of the year, and by the way, we discussed the matter of opening a branch in Hai City." Yun Yan said.
"I won't interfere in your business, but you have to be careful and don't get too tired!" Shen Ye said.
"I understand!" Yun Yan agreed with a smile.
New Year's Eve soon arrived, and Chen Ye took Yun Yan to the military compound to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
"By next Chinese New Year, our family will have a new member!" Grandpa Shen said with a smile.
"Yes, our Shen family hasn't had any new children in almost 30 years." Grandma Liang said happily.
"Then grandparents must have prepared a lot of good things for this little guy in my belly. He is so lucky that he has great-grandparents who love him so much before he is even born!" Yun Yan said with a smile.
"That's natural. Your grandfather and I will definitely hold this child in the palm of our hands and cherish him." Grandma Liang said.
"Grandpa and grandma, please don't spoil this child too much, otherwise he will be spoiled." Shen Ye said.
Of course he was happy that his grandparents doted on his child, but he was also afraid that his grandparents would spoil the child too much.
"It's okay. Grandpa and grandma are responsible for pampering the child, and I am responsible for teaching him. I will never let him learn bad things!" Yun Yan said.
"Look how good Yanyan is at talking, not like you, a bad boy." Grandma Liang said.
Chen Ye felt helpless. This child hadn't even been born yet, but his status in his grandparents' hearts had already dropped a lot!
They chatted and laughed until ten o'clock. Yun Yan felt a little sleepy, so Grandpa Shen asked her to go back to her room and sleep first, and they would take care of the night watch.
Yun Yan didn't force it. After all, she was pregnant and couldn't stay up late.
Chen Ye helped her back to her room upstairs and only went back downstairs after seeing that she fell asleep.
"Xiaoye, is Yanyan asleep?" asked Grandma Liang.
"He fell asleep. I guess he was really sleepy. He fell asleep not long after he went up there." Shen Ye said.
"Pregnant women tend to be sleepy. It's a good thing to be able to eat and sleep, and it's also good for the baby in the belly!" Grandpa Shen said.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren chatted until twelve o'clock. After setting off firecrackers and fireworks, the year was completely over!
Chen Ye carefully returned to the room and saw Yun Yan still sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but walk up to her and kiss her cheek.
He took out a ruby bracelet from his pocket and carefully put it on her.
"Wife, Happy New Year!" Chen Ye said to the sleeping Yun Yan.
