"Since you're opening a restaurant, I've found two cooks. One was the former canteen captain. He injured his leg during an exercise and returned to the village after being discharged. He can't do heavy work, and his wife ran away. He's been raising two children by himself, so life has been tough. However, he's a good person with a gentle personality. He hasn't lost his will to live because of his disability."
"There was also an artillery captain who, after retiring and returning to the village, learned to cook from his grandmother and often cooked for some red enterprises. He was missing a little finger."
"The other one is a scout, a battalion commander, only 27 years old, unmarried, and just retired two months ago. He used to be very capable, but he lost a hand during a mission, so he couldn't be demobilized. After returning home, the villagers talked about him a lot. He had a stepmother at home, and after he was discharged, she directly separated him from the family. As soon as I called him, he agreed to come."
"There are two more behind us, both are scouts, one is a company commander and the other is a platoon leader, both have some disabilities."
Qian Duoduo thought for a moment, "The captain's wife ran away? How old is she?"
"26 years old, married, with two children."
She nodded. "Then let the scout battalion commander and the canteen captain go to the small restaurant to help out. I plan to let my sister run the small restaurant and split the profits 50-50. She's definitely too busy to handle it by herself. I'll ask two people to help. We're married. It would be bad if the wife misunderstands."
Her sister is divorced, and she should consider her next husband. Shouldn't she make some arrangements?
The character of a soldier is still trustworthy. Let's put him close to us and observe him first. What if sparks fly?
Fu Junmo looked back at her but didn't point it out. Qian Xiaomi was having a hard time. If he could solve his personal problems, his wife would have to worry less.
"How do you arrange the other one?"
"Didn't you say he was an artilleryman? He must know some martial arts and can cook. When the time comes, he can go to the hot pot restaurant to be a chef, washing and cutting. My grandma will definitely be too busy to handle it. As for the other two, I will meet them when they arrive and see what positions they can be assigned to. The hot pot restaurant is short-staffed."
Fu Junmo nodded and said, "The plane's departure time is set. It's half past six the day after tomorrow morning."
Qian Duoduo smiled and nodded, "That's great. But, honey, when will your dad come back? I guess I'll be staying there for a while."
"He'll be there for three days at most. You'll have to stay for as long as you want."
"At least ten days."
She didn't dare tell him about her plan to go to Shanghai. What if this man was worried? What would happen to a lot of things?
"Then take the train back. It will be tiring."
Qian Duoduo nodded. "I want to tile the floor for the shop renovation. I need to buy some tiles. I also need toilets, washbasins, chandeliers, etc. Can you contact a truck to transport them back here?"
"How much is the stuff?"
“If you bring in clothes and fabrics, it’ll be a lot.”
"Okay, I'll contact them and see if we can hire a truck directly. It's not easy to get private trucks there right now."
Qian Duoduo said happily: "Thank you, husband."
She thought that the transport vehicles were still controlled by the state-owned transport team.
"Okay, the meal is ready, let's eat quickly."
"What are you holding?"
Qian Duoduo looked at the things in his hand and said with a smile: "I saw that there were no toys at home, and Xiaohan had nothing to play with, so I bought chess and Go. By the way, honey, do you know how to play chess and Go?"
"Um."
"Hey, that's great. You and your son can have some fun together when you're home with nothing to do. It's a good opportunity for you to teach Xiaohan how to play chess." He winked and chuckled softly, "It'll also help foster a bond."
Fu Junmo nodded, "Okay, go out and wash your hands first, I'll serve the food."
"Okay, then, husband, you should return the car to the army later. A lot of people saw me driving your car this afternoon, and they'll probably nag me again."
Qian Duoduo left the kitchen, knocked on Fu Yihan's door, and waved the things he had collected. "Xiaohan, I bought you some Go and chess. You can play when you have nothing to do."
Fu Yihan put down the book in his hand and stood up. In fact, he had already heard it just now and was excited for a while. "Thank you."
Qian Duoduo smiled and patted his head, "Put it away first, wash your hands and eat."
During the meal, Fu Junmo said, "Beijing Housing Construction Corporation started building commercial housing last year and set aside a community called Happy Home. They've built twelve buildings so far, but they may not have enough funds, so they've decided to start selling the houses now."
"Buy a house and get a Beijing hukou. Besides, the price will definitely be much cheaper than after it's built. Ask your family if they want to buy it."
"After this batch of buildings are built, housing prices will definitely continue to rise."
Qian Duoduo was surprised. Now there is a shop?
She really had no idea.
As far as I can remember, commercial housing only became popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
It seems that it already exists at this time, but it is just a test by the country and there are not many.
It is also possible that the reform and opening up had just begun, people's lives were not well-off, and buying a house was far away, so they did not build more houses and just tested the waters.
