Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing had been running around and making noises all day. After eating, they asked Chen Xingling to go and rest.
"If you feel hungry later, go make some rice porridge. Go and rest early, and we'll clean up here."
Gu Yi asked his sister to go with him, and Zhao Xiaoxing walked behind them.
Although the two have not started talking yet, the tense situation at the beginning has disappeared and both of them have calmed down. I believe they won't have to quarrel anymore in the future.
A couple quarrels at the head of the bed but makes up at the foot of the bed. Just lie down in the same bed and I believe they will make up soon.
Little Tiger poked his head out and muttered, "Mom, is there anything else to eat? I feel hungry again."
"Yes." Chen Xingling took out the thawed glutinous rice balls and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival, we still have to eat glutinous rice balls!"
Xiao Huzi's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow! I like sweet and round dumplings!"
"Hey." Chen Xingling said with a smile: "Wait until the water boils and then throw it in. Then add two spoonfuls of sugar and you can eat it. Wait a few more minutes!"
"Okay!" Little Tiger jumped and went to play.
Ma Dali cleaned up the charcoal stove and swept the area under the eaves.
"Lingling, I'm leaving first."
Chen Xingling poked his head out and said, "The water is almost boiling. Eat a few dumplings before going. Although the meat skewers are filling, they are a bit greasy, so you can't eat that much. Look! Little Tiger is starting to get hungry."
"I ate too much." Ma Dali laughed, "I'm still full now!"
Chen Xingling said: "Just treat it as dessert after dinner, let's eat it together."
Ma Dali didn't bother to be polite with her and stood by the window to accompany Xiao Huzi in throwing the plane.
"Lingling, I've discovered that you're omnipotent. You can easily resolve family issues that even an honest judge would have difficulty settling. I've noticed that Xiaoxing and Gu Yi seem to have had some issues lately, otherwise she wouldn't be so sad all day. Earlier I thought there was going to be a big fight."
Chen Xingling said "ah" and smiled calmly while stirring the sugar water.
"Family affairs are difficult to resolve because both parties have their own reasons and arguments. A judge wouldn't know where to start and whose side to stand on, so naturally he wouldn't be able to make a clear judgment. I'm different. I stand on everyone's side and can lend them money at a critical moment, so things are naturally easier to handle."
If a couple can quarrel, it is naturally because both of them have reasons and arguments, otherwise they would not quarrel so fiercely.
She could only support both sides and calm them down first.
When people are impulsive and angry, as long as there is a middleman who can say something of his own and stand from his own perspective, he will feel that someone supports him and his anger will subside unconsciously.
"Haha!" Ma Dali threw the paper airplane out and said with a smile: "The key is the last stroke!"
No matter what happened to her parents' family, the most worrying thing for Gu Yi and his wife was the money problem. As long as this most critical problem was solved, everything would be solved.
She grasped the key to the problem and was naturally able to solve it in one go!
Chen Xingling chuckled, "There are only two reasons why couples have conflicts - money and feelings. People who are really rich don't have to worry too much about their feelings, because many things can be solved with money. People who are extremely poor naturally have a lot of worries. In a situation like Ayi's, some people don't have enough money, so they quarrel to make up for it. If they quarrel too much, how can they not hurt their feelings? So, if they continue to quarrel like this, their little family will definitely break up, they will lose their money, and eventually their feelings will disappear."
"Do you-do you still have money?" Ma Dali couldn't help asking, "You spent so much on embroidery before, is it enough? Aqi is not here, if you need anything, just let me know."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "Don't worry. I'm in charge of Aqi's money. He still has a lot."
Since my mother-in-law was restricted from "high consumption", Aqi has been able to save most of his salary. He usually spends very little, and apart from eating, he hardly spends anything.
"He doesn't smoke or drink, doesn't need to buy things and never spends money recklessly. Plus, he has a high salary, so he can save a considerable amount of money in two or three months."
Ma Dali was relieved: "That's good."
Chen Xingling reminded: "It's spring now, you have to clean up the remaining greenery in Uncle Liao's garden when you have time. My dad has prepared the bamboo and banana saplings, you can go to my backyard to dig them when you want to plant them."
"Let's go when we are free these few days." Ma Dali explained: "When the school starts, there is not much homework, the students are lazy, and the teachers haven't started to get into shape yet. We can feel more relaxed if we skip classes during this period."
Chen Xingling echoed: "Ya!"
Ma Dali asked curiously, "When will your fourth brother go out to sea?"
"The day after tomorrow." Chen Xingling replied: "The goods are still here with me. When we are ready to go out to sea, we will use a motorcycle or tractor to transport them over."
She had persuaded her fourth sister-in-law to give her fourth brother another chance to explore the way. Her fourth brother had already made an agreement with the shipping company, and all that was left was for her fourth sister-in-law to nod.
Now that Fourth Sister-in-law has passed this hurdle, Fourth Brother can set off without any worries.
Ma Dali nodded.
Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and whispered, "I have discussed this with my fourth brother and his wife. If the embroidery factory is successful, I will ask you to invest some money and give you 10% of the shares."
"...Really?" Ma Dali was a little surprised, but also a little at a loss: "I don't really understand this."
Chen Xingling explained: "You don't have to feel any psychological pressure. You know a lot of people in the city, so you will only be responsible for finding workers and purchasing business, and let the fourth brother and his wife handle the rest. I will own 30%, you will own 10%, and they will own 60%."
If this batch of goods can be sold well, the embroidery factory will have to be set up immediately.
When it comes to recruiting workers for manual labor, you must have a local boss who is familiar with the city.
Ma Dali grew up in the city and is familiar with the streets and alleys of the city. He knows everything about what every household does and what they can do.
Because of this, she encouraged her fourth brother and his wife to add Ma Dali as a partner.
The reason is simple. Ma Dali will be a wealthy man in the future. Not to mention having a capable helper, just by benefiting from his fortune, even if the business will not become a big hit, at least you can make some money.
Fourth brother and his wife were still a little confused, but now they listened to her in everything and let her make all the arrangements.
After listening to her analysis, they all felt that it made sense and soon decided to add Ma Dali as their buddy.
"Then I'll give it a try!" Ma Dali smiled and said, "Most women know these traditional embroidery techniques. Almost every household has someone who can embroider. San Yue Si Fang learned to embroider after finishing her homework, and now she is an experienced embroiderer. I am more confident in finding workers."
"Ye." Chen Xingling said, "Then it's settled."
After eating the dumplings, Ma Dali said goodbye and left.
Chen Xingling stopped him and suggested, "Aqi is on a business trip, and there is another bicycle at home that is not being used. When he is not at home, it will just gather dust in the corner. You can ride it first, and he will ask you for it when he comes back."
Ma Dali smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "...Then I won't be polite."
Chen Xingling said: "It's better to make it look like brand new when you come here."
"That I can't do!" Ma Dali laughed.
"We have to do it even if we can't!"
Ma Dali got on his bicycle and left briskly.
Xiao Huzi waved goodbye and then closed the door.
Chen Xingling boiled water for her son to bathe and took a hot bath herself, then the two of them went to bed early.
The next morning, Chen Xingling rode her bike to take her son to school.
Little Tiger was not very motivated and pouted, "Mom, when will you start school?"
"Tomorrow." Chen Xingling replied: "Classes will start the day after tomorrow."
Little Tiger felt very aggrieved and muttered, "I have to learn from you for one more day."
Chen Xingling laughed in silence: "It's only one day. It's so boring to play alone at home. There are so many brothers and sisters in school. By the way, your classmates came to play with you during the New Year! It's a pity that you were not there, so they had to go disappointed."
He is the youngest student in the class, but has the best grades.
The little guy is sweet and talkative, very likable, and has become the favorite of teachers and classmates in just one semester. Even the principal is full of praise for him and likes him very much.
After hearing this, little Tiger finally perked up a little and ran into the school happily.
Chen Xingling rode his bike confidently and headed towards the construction site in the east of the city.
Ma Dali, who was sleeping on the construction site, was sweating profusely. Master Mo and Master Zhang were leading the workers in laying bricks. People were coming and going, and the work was in full swing.
Chen Xingling parked his car and looked around, only to find that none of his brothers had come.
I thought that he probably went out to sea in the morning and should come back in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw his own tractor rumbling towards him, but only his fourth brother and eldest brother were sitting in the driving seat.
