Chapter 467 Troubles after coming back
"Hello, Momo. Are you going to have your final exams?" Aunt He asked with a smile. Her son was admitted to the University of Science and Technology and came to Donghai because he used the study notes and recommended materials that Qiao Mo gave him. This relieved her worries and made her more polite to Qiao Mo.
"Well, our school will have final exams next week." Qiao Mo nodded.
"The university exams should be around the same time, right? I don't know when my son He Lin will take the exams or when he will have the holidays." Aunt He sighed and said that when her son was not here, she was looking forward to his coming back, thinking that everything would be fine if he was admitted to university. She didn't expect that his coming would also bring her own worries.
She has three sons. The eldest and the second son are married, but they all live at home. The three-bedroom, one-living-room house is crowded, and the youngest son can only sleep in the living room during holidays, which is very inconvenient.
Moreover, when there are too many people, there will be too much gossip. Everyone is trying to stir up trouble with the same pot, and there are always bumps and bruises. In addition, the two daughters-in-law are afraid that their families will suffer losses. You are on guard against me and I am on guard against you. A trivial matter will cause a big fuss, and there is no peace at all.
At this time, she especially regretted not listening to Qiao Chengting's advice and buying a house. With a house, she would not have so many worries: at that time, the couple still had some money, and as long as they tightened their belts, they could afford to buy a house.
But at that time she felt that her home was still spacious enough, and she also thought that her sons were all grown up and would need money for their marriages, so she gave up the idea. By the time she really felt that her home was too crowded, she had already squandered most of her money, and the house prices had risen again, so she could no longer afford to buy a house even if she wanted to.
Thinking of this, she became even more dissatisfied with the eldest and second sons. If their Yue family had not asked for such a huge dowry, her family would not have ended up in this situation today.
"Well, the exam times of various universities are similar. The earlier one is no more than two days earlier, and the later one is not much later." Qiao Mo nodded. She didn't know about other places, but the start and end times of school in Donghai universities are similar.
"Momo, do you have any work to do during the summer vacation?" Aunt He asked.
"I only need people who can make clothes. Brother He Lin is a man, and there really isn't a suitable job for him." Qiao Mo said embarrassedly. As for the business of electronic watches and calculators, because the market has shrunk greatly, they have already sold these two items online, and they no longer wholesale them except to other places.
For this purpose, Shen Xue also prepared to work in the garment workshop. She would join in as soon as the holidays started. Wang Jiaqi and Wu Yitong had also learned how to operate the sewing machine. In the future, she would use them as seamstresses and let them sell clothes in school when school started.
Shen Xue's husband, on the other hand, planned to go to his hometown in the provincial capital to sell electronic watches, tape recorders and cassettes: the area was relatively isolated, electronic watches were not yet popular, and tape recorders were one of the three must-haves for a wedding, so the sales should be good.
"My He Lin also knows how to make clothes, and his skills are pretty good. If you don't mind, why not let him come to help you during the summer vacation?" Aunt He asked tentatively.
"Hey, we pay by the piece. If he's willing, let him come over during his vacation." Qiao Mo nodded, but still reminded him, "If he's willing, he can also wholesale some electronic watches and tape recorders from my cousin's shop and sell them outside the city. That way, the income might be higher."
"I'll have him come over to see you when the holidays come." Aunt He nodded happily when she saw that she agreed. "As for selling things outside of town, your aunt also mentioned it, but He Lin is too introverted, has no eloquence, and is not very willing to communicate with others. He is not cut out for this."
"Aunt He, you should ask Brother He Lin what he thinks and see what choice he makes." Qiao Mo thought that He Lin had been staying alone in the countryside for several days and seemed to be living a good life, so he couldn't be that honest.
