"Our old man is going on family leave. We have bought our tickets today and we will go back to our hometown together tomorrow. I am here to wish my two sisters-in-law a prosperous business and a great success." Chen Lishu said suddenly with a smile.
"Are you going back to your hometown?" Lin Xiaoyue and Zhao Guiying suddenly became disappointed when they heard what she said.
Especially Zhao Guiying, she has not been in the military area for a long time, and she has only gotten along well with Chen Lishu in the past two years. The two families live across the street, and they have something to talk about. They finally took a vacation and only came back to stay for a few days. Now they have to go back to their hometown.
"When we make money, we'll treat you, the military advisor, to a big dinner together after the new year."
Chen Lishu smiled: "Keep your promise, then I'll be waiting."
The women were talking here, and the children were chatting together.
"Gu Rui, why don't you go back with Aunt Gu and the others? It's okay to celebrate the New Year at my house. If you don't like my mother's fried fish the most, she will definitely cook it during the Chinese New Year." Wang Yanhui tried to use food to stay
Live with your own good buddy.
Ruirui frowned: "There are many relatives at home. My mother said that the whole family should be reunited during the Chinese New Year."
"Did you get any new year's money from your visit to the elders? I'm telling you, I'm digging my breasts. You won't give me or my brother a penny, and you'll even curse people for nothing. Anyway, we don't want to go back."
Ruirui: "Then when I come back with the New Year's money, let's go buy marbles together."
"Brother, Zhuzhu, I want it." Wu Yan came over, grabbed Gu Rui's shoulder, and tilted his head.
"The beads are too small and easy to swallow. You can't play with them." Gu Rui frowned and said seriously: "But when I come back, I can buy you something delicious."
Hearing that there was delicious food, Wang Yanchun, the third eldest son of the Wang family, immediately put down the duck toy in his hand and rushed over. He pushed Wu Yan aside, then grinned and bared his teeth at Ruirui with a few rice grains in his mouth. The taste of flattery was extremely obvious.
Wu Yan was pushed accidentally and fell to the ground before he could stand up. However, he was very strong and he got up from the ground without crying or fussing. He stood there and looked at Wang Yanchun, and then he got up and gave it a try.
"Wow--"
The child's cry immediately interrupted what Chen Lishu and the others were saying. When they saw the two children starting to fight, Zhao Guiying and Lin Xiaoyue hurried over to break up the fight.
In the end, everyone was given a slap on the butt.
After Chen Lishu took Ruirui home, she began to pack her things. The three of them had a lot of clothes to change.
The next day, Xiao Sun, the driver in the camp, drove the family of three to the train station.
On the other side, Li Xiulan was extremely happy when she learned that Gu Xingdong was coming back to celebrate the New Year this year. She killed a chicken early in the morning, and she and Zhang Qin started planning what to eat tomorrow.
"Mom, there's a new product that just came out this morning, frozen mackerel. I finished delivering the goods to the supply and marketing cooperative and brought back a piece of it."
Gu Xingye came in from outside, holding a net bag of frozen fish in his hand. It weighed about four or five kilograms.
This year's grain harvest has been bumper, and farmers' lives have suddenly become much easier. They have some money in their hands, which they would be reluctant to spend at other times, but they must have a good New Year.
After all, it was too troublesome to go shopping in the town, so Gu Xingye drove to the farmer's market in the town every five days to buy some soy products and frozen fish that could last longer, and put them in the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time.
If you sell slowly and the price is not high, you can earn some shipping money, and the business will be good for a while.
Generally, when people go into a store to buy something, they don’t just buy the same thing. Gu Xingye did this, and the supply and marketing cooperative he led also sold a lot of things.
"Okay, you can go put it in the warehouse and put it on in the kitchen tomorrow morning." Li Xiulan was scalding the chicken feathers, and the hot water in the basin was still steaming.
"Your dad went to your second brother's shop and didn't say when he would be back?"
Gu Xingye drove to town early in the morning and took Gu Shoufu and Gu Xingmin with him. Near the end of the year, Gu Xingmin and Liu Yuemin's store was getting busy, so he asked Gu Shoufu to go over and help take care of it.
"I said I would come back after dinner, just in time to catch the train back to the village."
Li Xiulan nodded and continued busy with what she was doing.
On the train, Chen Lishu, who has never been prone to motion sickness, felt a little uncomfortable from the moment she got on the train, especially the smell of the car. It was clear that she was fine on the train for the two days after returning from Beijing.
"Are you feeling too bored? Drink some water first, and then go to bed and lie down for a while."
Gu Xingdong took out the thermos kettle from his bag, poured a cup of hot water for Chen Lishu, put it to his mouth and blew on it. When he felt that the temperature was almost the same, he handed it to her hand.
Chen Lishu sat by the bed and took a few sips from the water glass, finally feeling that her discomfort was a little better.
"Mom, I have some candy here. You can eat one and you won't get car sick." Rui Rui took out a fruit-flavored hard candy from her pocket and handed it over.
Normally, Chen Lishu was afraid that his teeth would be bad, so she basically wouldn't buy him candy. She was afraid that he would be uncomfortable in the car, so she prepared a few pieces, which came in handy now.
Chen Lishu took it, peeled off the plastic wrapper, and just put it in her mouth. A strong orange flavor suddenly filled her taste buds, and her whole body felt much better instantly.
Meeting Ruirui's concerned eyes, Chen Lishu smiled: "Thanks to my son's candy, my mother is much better."
"You go to sleep for a while first." Gu Xingdong said and asked her to take off her coat, covered her with the quilt, and then sat on the bed opposite with Ruirui.
…
"Dad, seeing that there are not that many customers, why don't I ask Master Tang to give you another order of noodles before you leave."
Gu Xingmin had just sent the plates and bowls on the table to the back. When he opened the curtain and came out, he saw Gu Shoufu putting on his coat and said.
Since the couple opened this store, business has been good. Especially as the New Year is approaching, more and more people come to the store. They are reluctant to pay for help, so the couple can only suffer a little.
Yesterday, my bicycle tire was punctured again, and it was already past 8pm when I got home.
There was no choice but to ask Gu Shoufu to help for a few days and wait until the store closed in two days.
"It's still early and I'm not very hungry. Let's wait until we get home to eat. You don't have to work on me. You two should take a rest when you have time."
Gu Shoufu said that he had already put on his clothes, put on his hat and turned around and went out of the store.
"Our dad is gone?"
Liu Yuemin was washing the dishes when she saw him coming in and kept moving her hands.
I originally thought that opening a store would be a great job, but who knew I would be so tired when I actually started working on it.
The couple works together from morning to night. Making money is definitely making money, but being tired is really tiring.
"Yeah." Gu Xingmin nodded: "Originally, I wanted Master Tang to give him a bowl of noodles, but he left after saying he wasn't hungry."
Liu Yuemin curled her lips and said nothing.
Nowadays, one person can't wait to work for eight people. How can he have time to cook noodles for him? Besides, a bowl of noodles in the store only costs 20 cents, so it is more cost-effective to eat at home.
"Is the boss here?"
Just as the couple said a few words, another person came into the store in front, and Gu Xingmin hurriedly responded and went out.
