"Mom, sister, I have something to discuss with you."
Mother Gu and Gu Yunchi were still in shock, that was 200 copies! It’s sold out so early!
"You, you say."
Jiang Yiyi told him about what she had agreed with the woman the day before and about the 40 servings of cold noodles she had ordered from the state-owned restaurant. "I plan to do wholesale in the future. The quantity will increase. It's too hard for me to do it alone, and I won't be able to handle it in the future. I want to rent a house in the county and ask my brother and sister-in-law to help. I'll pay them 30 yuan a month each."
"good."
Gu's mother agreed reluctantly, saying that her daughter was indeed working hard, getting up early in the morning every day to make cold noodles. It was ok for one or two days, but her body would not be able to bear it after a long time. Her daughter-in-law was tired from running around like this every day, so she rented a house in the county town so that she didn't have to run back and forth anymore.
Gu Yunchi's eyes lit up when she heard this. If the Jiang family's brother and sister-in-law helped, she would sell cold noodles. She was not afraid of being tired and would sell them from morning to night.
"Since you all agree, I'm going back to my parents' house now, and I might come back later in the evening."
Mother Gu thought she wanted to have a good talk with her family, so she nodded and asked Gu Yunchi to bring a bag of noodles for Jiang Yiyi to take back.
Jiang Yiyi put down the twenty kilograms of food she had bought, went back to the house to get three hundred yuan, and went back to her parents' home carrying the watermelon, five kilograms of meat, and a load of noodles.
The Jiang family was quite far away, about eight or nine miles away. The village was very quiet, and the villagers must have gone out to work.
The door of the Jiang family's house was closed but not locked, so there should be someone at home. Jiang Yiyi pushed the door open and went in. Jiang's mother was washing clothes. When she heard the door open, she looked up and saw that it was her daughter. She was stunned. This was the first time her daughter had returned to her parents' home since she got married.
"mother."
Mother Jiang stood up in a hurry, wiped her hands on her body, and walked forward quickly, "Yiyi, are you in trouble? The five hundred yuan you gave me hasn't been touched yet. I'll ask your father to get it out for you."
Compared to what I remembered, Mother Gu had aged a lot, and her hair had turned a lot whiter. Jiang Yiyi handed the watermelon to Jiang's mother, who hurriedly hugged it.
"I came here to ask for help from my brother and sister-in-law, where are they?"
"They are in there, go and call them from here."
As she was talking, Gu's mother wanted to put the watermelon on the ground and call for help, but Jiang Yiyi stopped her.
"I'll go find it. You put the watermelon in the well to dry. We'll come back and eat it later."
After saying that, he parked his bicycle, carried the meat and noodles into the kitchen, put the meat in a basin, and poured the noodles into the noodle jar.
Mother Gu stood there at a loss, opening her mouth several times as if wanting to say something, but no words came out.
"Where are they?"
“The one in the west of the village.”
Jiang Yiyi pushed her bicycle out of the house. Gu's mother hurried to the door and watched her ride away on her bicycle, still a little dazed.
There were people working in every household, and it was very strange to see someone riding a bicycle, so I couldn't help but take a closer look.
"Isn't this the daughter of the Jiang family? Is she finally willing to go back to her parents' home?"
"She even rides a bicycle. She really married into a rich family."
"How about marrying into a rich family? She hasn't returned to her parents' home for two years. It's obvious that she wants to sever ties with her parents' home. If I had a daughter like this, I would have gone to her house and made her restless."
"Isn't it? She's enjoying herself, but her family doesn't care about her at all. What's the point of having a daughter like this?"
"Looking at her anxious look, something must have happened. She couldn't think of her family when she was enjoying herself, but now she remembers them when something happened."
“No.”
…
Jiang Yiyi naturally couldn't hear these discussions. She found her home according to her memory.
Father Jiang and Jiang Jinfeng and his wife were working with their heads down.
"Dad, brother, sister-in-law."
Hearing the shout, the three looked up in disbelief.
Seeing that his daughter had not been home for almost two years, Jiang's father walked quickly to the edge of the field. He knew that his daughter was resentful, blaming them as incompetent parents for forcing her to get married early.
During countless sleepless nights, he and Gu's mother regretted more than once that they should not have firmly stopped their daughter from getting married. At that time, they only considered that the Gu family was well-off and Gu Yunze was a soldier who received an allowance every month, so their daughter would not suffer if she married into the family. They did not consider that Gu Yunze was away from home all year round and his father-in-law was in poor health, so the Gu family needed their daughter to support them inside and outside.
"Yiyi, is there something wrong?"
Father Gu has a lot of white hair.
"Nothing happened. I made some food to sell and was too busy to handle it, so I wanted to ask my brother and sister-in-law to come over and help."
"Jinfeng, you and your wife should follow your sister!"
Jiang Jinfeng responded and walked forward quickly with Zhou Fenxiao.
"No hurry, let's go home and talk."
Several people returned home.
Mother Gu took out the watermelon that had just been put in the well and cut it open. She put the biggest piece in front of Jiang Yiyi. Jiang Yiyi gave it to her, and then took a piece for Father Gu, and greeted Jiang Jinfeng and his wife, "Brother, sister-in-law, you two have some."
Jiang Jinfeng and his wife looked at each other, then each picked up a small piece and took a bite.
Jiang Yiyi picked up a small piece and ate it.
The watermelons were brought all the way from the county town to Gu's house. They were a little hot from the sun when they were brought here. Although they were cooled in the well for a while, it was short-lived and had little effect.
The Jiang family felt it was very sweet, the sweetness they had never felt before, especially Jiang's father and mother, who felt sweet to the heart.
"I need to sell enough food now, and my family is too busy to handle it. I want to rent a house in the county town and ask my brother and sister-in-law to come over to help, and give each of them 30 yuan a month."
Jiang Jinfeng could hardly hold the watermelon in his hand. Thirty yuan per person, and he and his wife made sixty yuan a month. He never dreamed that he would earn so much money.
Father Jiang swallowed the watermelon seeds and said, "What kind of salary does a family need? You can ask your brother and sister-in-law to help. The work at home is not busy now, so your mother and I can do it alone."
Mother Jiang nodded in agreement.
"I want to do this business. My brother and sister-in-law will live in the county in the future. Thirty yuan is just the starting point, and it will increase in the future."
It will continue to rise!
Father Jiang didn't know what kind of food Jiang Yiyi cooked, but no matter how expensive it was, it could still be more expensive than the food in state-owned restaurants. He had heard people say that the dishes in state-owned restaurants cost only a few yuan each, and the waiters there only earned thirty or forty yuan. If his daughter gave all the money she earned to her family, her husband's family would have objections.
"Thirty is fine for the two of them, but sixty is too much."
Jiang Yiyi would not allow any rebuttal. "It's settled, thirty each. If you agree, after eating the watermelon, you can go to the county with me to buy a bicycle. If you don't agree, I'll find someone else to do it."
Jiang Jinfeng looked at Jiang's father.
Seeing Jiang Yiyi's firm attitude, Jiang's father nodded for fear of upsetting her.
Jiang Jinfeng finished the watermelon in a few bites, wiped his mouth, went back to the house, changed into clean clothes, and went to the county with Jiang Yiyi.
