Chapter 591(1/2)
Except for the Zhang family, a relative of the in-law family, all other relatives of the Yu family in the provincial capital are in their hometown.
In the second year of junior high school, Zhang Chunli took her husband and children back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. During the Chinese New Year, she basically didn't visit any relatives. It was boring for her family to stay in the dormitory every day.
So the weather has been good these days, and Yu Dexian basically goes shopping with his children every day. He feels uneasy about wasting time like this, but it is not easy to find some odd jobs in the first month.
However, today he found something very interesting, that is, the ring game at the entrance of the park attracted him.
He stood nearby and observed for a long time, and finally figured out their regular gameplay.
When the family entered the park, he was still thinking about it.
Yu Dexian asked: "Chunli, what do you think of the... trap just now?"
"How about what?" Zhang Chunli was stunned when she was asked, and it took her a while to realize that he was asking about a park entrance game.
"It should be fun. I see a lot of people waiting there to play."
After receiving confirmation from his wife, Yu Qing Dexian said excitedly: "Let's go and prepare some things. Whether we can make a living today depends on the business later."
Zhang Chunli and her two sons reacted now.
"You want to imitate them and set up a stall?"
"Yes, I think their business is so good, there is no reason not to make money. Since there is money to be made, why can't we set up a stall?"
Zhang Chunli: "..."
Love the country and the party: "..."
This makes perfect sense.
...
Yu Dexian is a ruthless person. When Yu Qing and Xiang Yisen saw them in the park with their family, they had already paid one month's rent to the park. The person in charge of the park had promised them to let them stay in the open space in the park.
Set up stall for a month.
Xiang Yisen saw Yu Dexian standing in front of the set up stall and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Qingqing, if I remember correctly, that is your stepfather, right?"
"Stepfather?"
Han Xue's reaction was even greater than that of Yu Qing. She turned her head and looked at Yu Dexian intently. He was not as tall as the Ruan family, and his appearance was even less than that of the Ruan family. It seemed that her good daughter-in-law had inherited the good genes of the Zhang family and the Ruan family.
Yu Qing also turned her head and followed Xiang Yisen's line of sight. Not only Yu Dexian, but the entire Yu family came out.
The two half-brothers are thin and thin. The older boy may be in adolescence and has a lot of acne on his face.
The two of them are no longer what they were when they were children. If they met alone on the street, she would definitely not recognize them as the little ones they were back then.
As for her biological mother, compared with the previous two years, the skin on her face is worse and her face is much more haggard.
It can be seen that their family’s current life is not very satisfactory!
"He's quite smart."
Xiang Yisen smiled: "If you are poor, you want to change. They must have a lot of pressure in life and don't want to make money. The family's source of livelihood cannot be guaranteed."
Han Xue nodded: "If you know how to be self-reliant, your character will be good."
However, the character of her biological mother is questionable. She heard that her daughter-in-law was cruelly thrown away by her when she was a child.
Now that the Yu family had been discovered and there was no need to recognize each other, Yu Qing and his family took a detour.
Yu Dexian looked over here as if he was feeling something. What he saw were tourists in groups, and he didn't see anything special.
What a treat for tourists!
He cleared his throat and shouted.
The quiet park has such a place for ring games, which is very lively.
Seeing this situation, the family members living in the family building in the park immediately sensed business opportunities.
He quickly called people who were idle at home to pack the melon seeds and peanuts bought at home for the New Year into small bags in newspapers, then put them in baskets and carried them to the open space in the ring to sell them.
Some people make a pot of sweet wine, sprinkle a handful of wolfberries, and bring the pot to the open space. If there is business, everyone can do it together, and if there is money, everyone can make money together.
Not to mention, this will make this open space more lively. Tourists visiting the park will stop here to rest for a while, set traps, buy some snacks, and bask in the warm sun. It is quite pleasant!
After closing the stall at night and returning home, Yu Dexian entered the house and first sat at the table with his two sons and began to sort out and count the zero votes earned today.
Zhang Chunli stood in the corridor cooking without feeling at ease. From time to time, she craned her neck to look into the dormitory. She felt anxious, especially wanting to know how much money she made today.
"Love the country and the party, how much money have you counted?" Yu Dexian counted the money in his hand three times to confirm that it was correct, and then he asked his two sons.
Yu Aidang: "Dad, I counted six dollars and two in my hand."
Yu Aiguo saw the excitement on his father's face and reported it truthfully: "I have five yuan here."
"Oh, I just counted eight or nine dollars." Yu Dexian looked at his eldest son, "Aiguo, how much money did we make today?"
"Twenty-one dollars in total."
As Yu Dexian spoke, he calculated in his mind: "We spent eight yuan to buy these prizes and plastic rings today. The rent for renting the venue for a month is one yuan a day, which is thirty yuan a month."
Yu Aidang added: "We spent thirty-eight yuan today and earned twenty-one yuan back. In total, we still lost seventeen yuan."
Yu Dexian tied the zero ticket tightly with a rubber band and put it in his bag, "We just started today. If we make another day tomorrow, we should be able to make back the original cost. When we open the stall the day after tomorrow, it will be equal to profit."
No matter how you calculate it, this kind of income is much more cost-effective than working odd jobs outside.
People who love the country and the party are also happy. When their family's income increases, their lives will also improve.
When Zhang Chunli, who was cooking, heard about today's income, she happily brought out the meat she bought during the New Year. There was less than two kilograms left. She cut off half a kilogram and prepared to fry twice-cooked pork for her family.
If they had such a high income every day, their family would soon no longer be short of meat.
When the food was served, the patriotic and party-loving brothers looked at the twice-cooked pork on the table and cheered.
Yu Aiguo joked: "Can we temporarily achieve the freedom to eat meat?"
Yu Dexian nodded, and now he was not stingy: "It can be said that as long as you work harder when setting up the stall tomorrow, your mother will fry meat for you again tomorrow night."
Yu Aidang is the most thoughtful young comrade in the family besides the head of the family, Yu Dexian.
He picked up a piece of fat and thin pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well, it's so delicious. Dad, you and Mom will take care of the stall for trapping tomorrow. My brother and I will do other business tomorrow."
Yu Dexian glanced at his youngest son in surprise. He did not expect that he was a child with ideas and boldness.
"What business do you want to do tomorrow?"
"Eat."
Yu Aidang glanced at Yu Aiguo and talked about tomorrow's arrangements with everyone: "I know there is a candied haws maker near our school. Tomorrow we will go to his house to buy a batch of candied haws, and then my brother and I will sell them separately.
One person can sell it inside the park and the other person can sell it at the park entrance."
Yu Dexian looked at his son with approval: "You have a good idea. I will help you pay for it tomorrow, and I will give you a share of the money earned as pocket money."
"real?"
The brothers felt that the surprise came too suddenly.
"Of course it's true. Your father and I raised you. When did we lie to you?" As she said that, Zhang Chunli gave each of her two sons a piece of meat.
Facing the hopeful looks in his two sons' eyes, Yu Dexian smiled and nodded.
*
The diesel engine factory went to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the stores under Yu Qing's company were originally open for business on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but considering that they were celebrating the New Year in the provincial capital, they might not go back so early.
Before the year-end holiday, we decided to open on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Therefore, Yu Qing's family must rush back to Yicheng before then.
The train tickets were booked for a train at around 4pm on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. At noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone gathered at Ruan’s house for lunch.
Yu Qing handed a bunch of keys to the villa to Ruan Zheng, "Brother, after we return to Yicheng, please help us take care of the villa."
Ruan Zheng put the keys in his pocket and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll sleep at your house if I have nothing to do."
"It's better that way." Yu Qing joked: "If you have a partner, you can take your partner back to the villa to get along well with each other, and no one will disturb you."
Ruan Zheng's ears felt a little hot, and he glared at her in shame: "What you said may disappoint you."
Yu Qing chuckled, and then asked with a serious face: "Brother, you haven't been able to win any of the blind dates these days?"
Ruan Zheng glanced at her with a half-smile, pursed his lips and remained silent.
Yu Qing was not discouraged, her eyes were full of gossip: "Tell me honestly, how many girls have you dated in the past few days?"
Ruan Zheng still pursed his lips, glanced at Xiang Yisen, stretched out a finger, poked Yu Qing's forehead and pushed her gently towards Xiang Yisen.
Xiang Yisen caught her.
Yu Qing covered her forehead and turned around helplessly to complain to Xiang Yisen: "If he doesn't change his temper, he may risk his life."
Xiang Yisen rubbed Yu Qing's hair dotingly and glanced at Ruan Zheng, "The eldest brother is the tall, rich and handsome man you said. How could he be born alone? He was just temporarily dazzled. When he comes back to his senses,
, he doesn’t need you to urge him, he will take the girl home without any hesitation.”
"Is this really true?" Yu Qing stared at Ruan Zheng sideways, as if she didn't quite believe what she said.
Xiang Yisen responded softly, "Yeah."
