"Qin Zhiqing, Uncle Aiguo, you're going home so early? Is the shop closed?"
"Uncle Aiguo, I was just going to buy something, why are you closing so early? Are you still open in the evening?"
"Open, open. Let's go back and have a meal first, then open the restaurant. Come back at 8 o'clock. I'll be there all night." Tang Aiguo agreed with a smile.
"This business is really good." After Tang Aiguo returned home, he sat down and couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Zijin placed the cash box in front of him and said, "Dad, open it and take a look."
"What? Did you make a lot of money?" Tang Aiguo was a little curious and opened the cash box.
It was filled with money.
There are one or two yuan, one or two cents, and even one or two cents. Because there is no time to sort them out, they look a bit messy.
But that cash box was not small, it was 50 cm long, 35 cm wide and 35 cm high, and it was actually full.
"Yes, there are quite a few. You guys count and settle the bill first. I'll go cook." Qin Zijin nodded with a smile, then went to the kitchen.
Tang Can was there counting money with Tang Aiguo, and the two little guys came over to watch curiously.
Qin Zijin walked into the kitchen, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly slipped into his personal space to take out a few dishes that had been prepared earlier in the hut.
The huts have heat preservation and freshness preservation functions, so if you don’t eat the cooked food and leave it there, it won’t go bad.
Qin Zijin had done a lot when he was earning points before, and now it all came in handy.
Otherwise, she still has to cook after a busy day, wouldn’t she be exhausted to death?
After pretending to light a fire in the kitchen and putting water in the pot to boil, Qin Zijin sat in the kitchen in a daze.
Fortunately, the kitchen was far enough away from the main room that they couldn't hear any noise.
It was an hour later that Qin Zijin returned with the food.
"The money I earn in this day is really..." Tang Aiguo was stunned.
He and Tang Shen spent an hour together before they finally sorted out all the money.
He already knew it would be a lot of money, but the number still shocked Tang Aiguo.
He knew that he could make money by running this small shop, but he thought that making a hundred or eighty yuan a day was the limit.
But I never expected that on the first day, I would earn more than three thousand yuan?
"Is this more than 3,000 real? Did you earn that much?" Tang Aiguo looked at Qin Zijin in disbelief.
Qin Zijin put down the soup in her hand and smiled before answering, "Of course not that much. We started with 300 yuan in change, so we have to deduct 300 yuan to make a profit. We also have to consider the cost. This time we spent 3,000 yuan on purchasing goods, but we still have a lot of goods, which should be enough to sell for a while."
"This, this, this is too exaggerated." Tang Aiguo was still a little shocked.
Although this 3,000 yuan is not the net profit, it is a fact that the daily income is more than 3,000 yuan. Even after deducting the cost, the profit is estimated to be more than 1,000 yuan.
This is not a small amount.
He used to have a pretty good income from hunting, only making about a thousand a year.
Even if people in the village have a formal job, their monthly salary is only in the early 40s, and some of the worse off only make around 30.
As for those who farm in the village, their income is even less.
"Dad, it's actually not that exaggerated. It's mainly because today is the first day of opening and everyone wants to see something new, so many people come. There won't be so many people tomorrow." Qin Zijin asked the two children to wash their hands and explained.
"Then you should have a good rest at home tomorrow and don't get too tired." Tang Aiguo nodded thoughtfully and then said seriously.
Qin Zijin thought about it and didn't refuse.
After dinner, Tang Aiguo washed his feet and went to the store.
Qin Zijin and Tang Can took care of the two children, helping them wash and sleep.
"I'm going to visit Dad tonight and will be back around ten o'clock. You should go to bed early." Tang Can sent Qin Zijin back to the room, took his clothes and was about to go out.
"It's cold at night. Take this hot water bottle to Dad. There's no need to stay up too late. There won't be many people around. People in the village will go to bed at nine o'clock at the latest." Qin Zijin stopped Tang Can and stuffed another hot water bottle into his arms.
Tang Shen reached out and hugged Qin Zijin, "I'll be back soon."
"Go ahead." Qin Zijin pushed him unhappily.
The wind is strong at night and the temperature is much lower than during the day.
It hadn't snowed at this time of year and the weather was very dry. Tang Shen ran quickly to the store. When he got there, he saw Tang Aiguo sitting in the store and dozing off. No one was in the store.
"Dad, go and rest if you're tired. No one will come at night." Tang Can shouted and went over to hand the hot water bottle to Tang Aiguo.
"Oh, Asan, those people just said they would come. What time is it now?" Tang Aiguo suddenly woke up and asked in a daze.
"It's almost eight o'clock." Tang Can glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Oh, then I'll wait a little longer and go to bed at nine o'clock. You can go back. You don't have to stay here with me." Tang Aiguo waved his hand and was about to send Tang Can away.
"I'll stay with you for a while." Tang Can said and sat down next to Tang Aiguo without saying anything.
Tang Aiguo was old and a little sleepy, and he took out a cigarette and smoked it tremblingly.
"I'm really happy to see that you're living a good life." Tang Aiguo lit a cigarette and took a puff. A smile could be seen on his face amidst the smoke.
"Dad..." Tang Can spoke subconsciously.
Tang Aiguo just patted the back of his hand and said, "Dad knows what you want to say. Don't worry, I've figured it out now. If your mom were to see you living a good life in heaven, she would definitely be happy. My old bones are useless, so it's good to be able to use my remaining energy to help you do something. I won't think of anything else."
Tang Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The two of them sat there chatting.
There were no guests, and the entire Shangao Village fell into absolute silence, with only the occasional barking of dogs.
"Where do you get all these things from? When are you going to return this truck? Also, there are so many things at home, when do you plan to sell them?" Tang Aiguo stopped talking about his own affairs and started to care about Tang Can and the others.
"Once the business in the village stabilizes in the next two days, Ajin and I will go to the town to find a place to start selling goods." Tang Can whispered to Tang Aiguo about his and Qin Zijin's plan.
"That's good. You have to treat others well and don't do bad things when you have money in the future, okay?" Tang Aiguo nodded and reminded Tang Can seriously.
Tang Shen naturally nodded in agreement.
"Dad, this time we actually went to Qinghai, to Ajin's home, his parents..." Tang Can hesitated to speak.
He actually hoped that Qin Zijin could have a good relationship with her family, but Qin Zijin was no longer the same person she used to be. She had a stronger personality and could not accept the arrangements made by her family. Now that the relationship had become like this, he was a little at a loss for a moment.
"They don't like you?" Tang Aiguo looked at Tang Can with a smile.
Tang Shen nodded, looking a little depressed.
Seeing this, Tang Aiguo smiled again, and then simply asked Tang Can, "Then think carefully about it. Do you want to live with her parents or with her in this life?"
