◎Let's work together!◎
At that time, only the soft sleeper cars on the train had private rooms. Wei Xuan and her friends bought hard sleeper tickets. When they entered the car, the luggage was placed on the upper side near the window, and the tables and chairs were placed on the lower side. The sleeping area was on the other side of the aisle, with three beds facing each other, one above, one below, and dozens of seats in a car.
The four of them found their seats based on the tickets in their hands. Fortunately, the seats for six people were connected, otherwise they would have to ask someone to adjust their seats.
Wei Xuan and Fang Jing slept on the middle and upper bunks respectively, Jiang Che slept on the lower bunk, and Hong Zhen slept opposite them, also on the lower bunk.
The upper and middle bunks are very small, and I can't even straighten my back when sitting on them.
Wei Xuan and Fang Jing are not sleeping yet, they are sitting on the lower bunk chatting.
Even when the train started moving, the carriage was not full.
Fang Jing said, "There are so many empty seats, but it's hard to buy tickets."
"Just wait and see, someone will come over soon to buy a replacement ticket."
...
...
Sure enough, within ten minutes, Hong Zhen's words came true and someone came over with the luggage.
Jiang Che said, "Why bother with this?"
"This is class. For example, if all the tickets are sold out and a leader needs to go on a business trip, what should we do? We can't let the leader squeeze for a hard seat."
So, if you want to live a good life, it’s not enough to have money, you also need power.
Wei Xuan no longer wanted power, but she could still try hard in terms of money. In the economic era, as long as you have a certain amount of money, most of the time it is equivalent to power.
There were many people on the train, so the four of them did not continue to discuss the topic and instead talked about other things.
Wei Xuan asked Fang Jing: "You two are gone, where is your son?"
"We sent him to his grandmother's house. The old lady missed her grandson so much. She was very unhappy when we moved out before. Now, she hopes that we will never go to pick up the child."
The two families have lived next door to each other for some time, and Wei Xuan could probably tell from some words that Fang Jing and her mother-in-law didn't get along well.
But this is also normal. There are only a few mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world who can be as close as mother and daughter. Take herself as an example. Since she married Jiang Che, she has never had a quarrel with Jiang's mother. In her heart, Jiang's mother is really a very good mother-in-law. Not only did she find a job for her as soon as she got married, she also never found fault with her.
They moved out and lived on their own. The mother-in-law was worried that they would have a hard life, so she secretly gave them a lot of money and tickets. Although they didn't want most of it, the old woman really loved them.
She remembered all these good things in her heart, but there was always a difference compared to her biological mother, as if there was always a layer between the two of them, with more politeness but less closeness.
What's more, Fang Jing's situation is different from hers. There is an insurmountable conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, which is the child.
Jiang Che was favored in the Jiang family because he was the youngest, but Hong Zhen was the only son of the Hong family. From this, we can imagine that Fang Jing had not been pregnant for more than ten years after marriage, and her life in the Hong family must not have been very smooth.
Of course, from what Fang Jing meant, the Hong family would not dare to do anything too extreme to her on the surface. After all, her family was not easy to mess with. But being bullied and ridiculed by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law in private should be commonplace.
These past experiences will not be wiped out because of the birth of a child, so when Fang Jing mentions her mother-in-law, there is inevitably a bit of resentment in her tone.
Wei Xuan didn't want to comment too much on other people's private affairs, so she pretended not to hear her and continued talking about her own daughter.
"My daughter Yuanyuan was also sent to her grandmother's house by her father. I don't know what her father said to her. She wasn't unhappy at all when he left. Instead, I was the one who was more uncomfortable."
When it comes to children, the two mothers have a lot to say.
Fang Jing looked around halfway through the conversation, changed her seat, sat next to Wei Xuan, and whispered in her ear, "Don't you and Xiao Jiang plan to have another child? Yuanyuan is already this old, you can definitely have a second child while you are still young. One child is inevitably too weak. If I could get pregnant, I would still want to have another child at my age."
Wei Xuan turned to look at her in surprise. She was already 40 and still wanted to give birth? You know, women over 35 are considered to be elderly mothers, not to mention the current medical conditions. It was too dangerous.
Fang Jing felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, so she patted her lightly and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm telling you what's in my heart. All children will grow up and leave us. At that time, the benefits of having many children will be reflected. One child may only come back to see us once every ten days or half a month. If there are many children, one will come back today, and another will come back tomorrow. It will be so lively."
Well, Wei Xuan didn't actually want to have a baby, but her child was small in the past few years, and in recent years, family planning has started to become a problem. If she gave birth to a child at this time, Jiang Che would definitely lose his job immediately.
Fang Jing didn't expect that she was worried about this. She rolled her eyes and said, "If you can't keep it, just quit. I see your store is doing pretty well. It's just a job. If it's gone, it's gone."
Seeing that Wei Xuan was still hesitating, Fang Jing asked her, "Have you discussed this issue with your Xiao Jiang?"
Wei Xuan shook her head: "No."
Section 70
"Then find some time to ask him what he thinks."
That's fine. She's 25 years old this year, and Jiang Che is already 28. This age is indeed the best age for childbearing. But there's no rush. Let's wait until they return from the south.
It takes about a day and a night to travel from Beijing to Guangzhou by train. They sleep at night, get up the next day and have breakfast in the dining car, and the train will almost arrive at the station.
After packing up their things and getting off the train, the four of them found a nearby guesthouse to stay in.
It was not possible to take a shower on the train, so Wei Xuan asked Jiang Che to go to the front desk to ask for some hot water so that she could simply wash herself.
After they packed up and came out of the house, Fang Jing suggested that the two men go to the special zone first, while she and Wei Xuan went to the clothing market alone.
Jiang Che was a little worried.
Hong Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong, as it was not the first time his wife had come here.
Fang Jing said to Jiang Che, "You didn't ask for a few days off to begin with, and you'll have to waste two days on the road. If you don't go now, you won't have time. I'm here, and I promise your wife won't abandon you. Go now."
Wei Xuan also nodded to him, and Jiang Che reluctantly left with Hong Zhen.
After the two men left, Fang Jing said, "I'll take you to eat something delicious first, then you can take a nap and get some rest, then go shopping in the clothing market in the afternoon."
"Okay." Wei Xuan was not familiar with this place, so naturally she followed whatever Fang Jing said. Besides, she also wanted to try the special food of Guangzhou.
On the other side, the two men got on the train again. They decided to go to Pengcheng first to see the project invested by Hong Zhen.
Two hours later, the train arrived.
After leaving the train station, Jiang Che looked at the desolate place in front of him and turned to look at Hong Zhen in disbelief.
"Brother Hong, did you take us the wrong way? Is this the special economic zone with gold everywhere that you mentioned?" This is obviously a small county town that cannot be any smaller, and it even looks smaller than the county where her wife's hometown is.
Hong Zhen laughed twice and said, "Why would I lie to you? Come on, I'll take you to have a look."
Jiang Che followed behind Hong Zhen, listening to him introduce the changes in this small county town in recent years.
It wasn't until he saw several half-built high-rise buildings that Jiang Che felt a sense of reality. Finally, something matched the special zone he had imagined in his mind.
Hong Zhen gestured with his hands to show him: "This place will be replanned in the future. Don't underestimate this shabby fishing village. The people here are much richer than us. Whether it's foreign businessmen or the government, if they want to use the land here, they have to pay them. People who were originally so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat suddenly became rich because this place was established as a special zone. This luck is really enviable."
When Jiang Che heard this, he thought of the little savings left at home. When he looked up again, the look in his eyes when he looked at these people changed.
So jealous!
Wei Xuan didn’t know that Jiang Che envied others for being able to become big demolition households, but even if she knew, she wouldn’t tell him, and he would also be the object of others’ envy in the future.
Wait ten years, fifteen years, or maybe even less, and most of the houses she bought now will not be able to be kept, and by then she and her husband will be completely laid low just by the demolition.
But that's all in the future. You can't stop working hard now just because you know you'll become rich in the future.
On the contrary, Wei Xuan is trying very hard to squeeze out of the crowd.
The weather in Beijing in October is already cool enough, but in Guangzhou it is still very hot even wearing short sleeves, especially in crowded places like wholesale markets.
The two women were afraid of being unsafe, so they wore more clothes and finally squeezed into a store. It took them a long time to catch their breath.
The clothes in this store are quite in line with Fang Jing's taste. Fang Jing likes clothes with bright colors.
Wei Xuan also thought it looked nice, but it was not her favorite style.
Fang Jing was choosing enthusiastically, and Wei Xuan followed behind to watch and occasionally gave her some advice.
However, neither of them took action today. They just took a walk and returned to the guesthouse.
When they arrived at the guesthouse, Fang Jing did not return to her room, but followed Wei Xuan to her room.
When the door was closed by Wei Xuan, Fang Jing, who was sitting on the chair, asked, "Wei Xuan, do you also want to open a clothing store? I saw that you were very serious about comparing the prices and styles of several stores today."
Wei Xuan looked at her and admitted it generously. There was nothing to hide. Beijing was so big that there was no competition between the two.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jing stood up and said excitedly after hearing her say this: "Then let's work together!"
Ah? Partnership? Wei Xuan was stunned!
"Isn't it good? I see that you are usually the one who manages the stores your family opened, which shows that you have experience in running stores. As for me, I have a good eye for choosing clothes, and if we two become partners, we will definitely make the clothing store business flourish. To be honest, don't laugh at me. Although I am older than you, when it comes to doing business, I am actually very insecure and have no idea at all. It would be fine if you don't have this idea, but now you are also interested in this business, isn't it just right for us to become partners?"
Wei Xuan wanted to open a clothing store, but she wasn't ready to partner with anyone, especially a friend!
No matter how good friends are, as long as interests are involved, the relationship is no longer pure. If you fall out, you will no longer be friends and the loss will outweigh the gain.
Wei Xuan didn't want to do something that would hurt others and not benefit herself, but seeing Fang Jing looking at her pleadingly, she couldn't say no in the end, so she had to say, "This is not a small matter, give me some time to think about it."
