Zhang Xiaoju: "Third sister-in-law said that there is a kindergarten where you can play games and learn knowledge, and you can also take care of lunch. Ruirui went to kindergarten for a year before."
Liu Yuemin: "That's a lot of money, right?"
Chen Lishu raised her head: "Ruirui was cheaper at that time, but it should go up a bit now, but it won't cost more than ten yuan a month at most."
"Just ten yuan to look after a child? This is too shameful." Liu Yuemin was speechless: "Why would you spend that wasted money? I think it's better to take it with you."
Zhang Xiaoju: "You can't say that. We have to take care of lunch. Besides, if we get busy, we have to purchase goods. It's not convenient to take care of children in the market with so many people coming and going."
Liu Yuemin rolled her eyes: "I discussed it with Xingmin and decided to go to the city after the Chinese New Year. It's not a problem to stay at home all the time. The children will need money when they are older, so earn more while they are young."
Li Xiulan paused when she heard what she said. Although it felt quite sudden, she still said: "It's okay for you two to think so. People still have to work hard on the ground. This time, don't be like last time. Do it well."
Your business has been ruined, have you figured out what to do?"
Liu Yuemin: "Even if we have a plan, Xingmin and I don't have that much money. I think we can go to the vegetable market with the fourth brother and sister to sell vegetables. The fourth brother is usually busy at work, and there is a man at home, so we can do this
It’s good to have someone to take care of you when you’re doing hard work or something.”
It was rare for Liu Yuemin to be so considerate, and these words sounded like she was a sister-in-law. Li Xiulan nodded happily.
"That's pretty good, and the rent of the store is also okay. The monthly rent for the store we bought is 20 yuan. The third sister-in-law's house is bigger, and it costs five yuan more than us."
Liu Yuemin was surprised: "So expensive? That doesn't mean you have to spend money before you make money."
"The price is not bad." Zhang Xiaoju explained: "I heard from Xingye that the rent will go up in the spring. What is it called? There is a lot of traffic. There are several floors and everything is sold, so I don't have to worry about selling."
Especially since they are located in the north, they can only sell vegetables indoors in winter. There is only one large vegetable market in the city with a full range of dishes, so business will naturally not be bad.
"You own your own shop, so you can save the rent, but the two of us will have to worry about it." Liu Yuemin said and looked at Chen Lishu: "Third brother and sister, your second brother and I have just started, and our eyes are dark, and the rent is too high.
It’s too expensive, why don’t you let us use your shop? We are all family members, so we can help each other.”
Chen Lishu was a little funny. They helped each other and had to help each other. It would be fine if the two of them were really poor. Gu Xingmin could earn at least several hundred just by collecting and selling grain years ago, but now he came to cry out about poverty with her.
"We are all one family. Second sister-in-law, if you speak, I should give it to you first no matter what."
Liu Yuemin didn't expect that she would be so easy to talk to this time, and she was overjoyed. But before the smile on her face spread, she heard Chen Lishu continue: "It's just that I signed a three-year contract with someone else for the convenience of taking care of me. Now I
If the shop is taken back, you will have to pay double the liquidated damages, but fortunately it has already been a year, otherwise you and my second brother will wait a little longer, and we will give it to you as soon as three years are up."
The smile at the corner of Liu Yuemin's mouth froze directly on her face.
Nowadays, whether it is wages, consumption or rent, they are increasing every year. Chen Lishu will not be stupid enough to rent it out for three years at once. But Liu Yuemin is embarrassed to ask, so she is naturally embarrassed to refuse.
Not long after, brothers Gu Xingdong and Gu Xingye came back with three large fish weighing three to four kilograms in the bucket.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of this fish? Can you make pickled fish?" Thinking of the taste of the pickled fish made by Chen Lishu, Gu Xingye couldn't help but make a swallowing motion.
Chen Lishu glanced at it and said with a smile: "Okay, I can make a big pot full of it."
Gu Xingdong: "I want to eat quite a lot, so you can take care of this fish." Although the fish was not frozen, it was fishy when fished out of the ice, so naturally he was reluctant to let Chen Lishu take care of it.
"Third brother, don't you want to eat?" Gu Xingye said unwillingly, "How about you clean it up with me?"
Gu Xingdong turned around and said, "I don't want to eat it. Lishu, please don't do it."
Gu Xingye hurriedly shouted: "No, you are my third brother. I will take care of it and leave it all to me. I will worry about whoever helps."
As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and started working.
The lunch is very rich, including chicken and fish, which indicates that there will be plenty every year.
The vegetables are bean sprouts and garlic sprouts grown at home, as well as cabbage and radishes stored for the winter. There are eight vegetables in total, filling a large table.
The happiest thing about the New Year is undoubtedly the children. They have new clothes to wear, delicious snacks and a sumptuous lunch. There are also meat dumplings in the evening. Each of the children eats them like little hamsters, with bulging cheeks.
The Spring Festival Gala will not be held until next year, and now it is only in the form of a "tea party", but everyone is watching it with great interest.
It was obviously a New Year's Eve dinner for the whole family at He's house, but what the old couple ate was not very tasty.
He Ziyu made such a fuss, and He Zinian felt very uncomfortable.
Although he has a good relationship with the He family, and they lived in the He family for a while when they were in Xiangjiang, it is painful for both parties to force themselves to be together without any affection. Besides, He Wenxin has already left the He family. I really don’t understand.
He Ziyu was just an outsider, so what was he insisting on?
Even though Zhu Shasha was a well-rounded person, she felt that it was better to lower her sense of presence when faced with such an atmosphere, but she already hated He Ziyu in her heart. She had worked hard for so long just to be truly accepted by the old couple, but in the end she
This happened.
Just after dinner, He's mother looked at He Zinian: "You are all busy, and your father and I won't keep you here."
Zhu Shasha smiled and answered: "Aunt, Zi Nian and I have nothing to do. Today is New Year's Eve. Otherwise, let the elder brother, sister-in-law and others go back first, and we will stay and chat with you."
No one at the table answered her, and Zhu Shasha felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Dad, today is New Year's Eve. There is a cultural performance in the army that night, so An Jing and I will go back first." He Zifeng stood up and said to his daughter, "Qiqi, please stay here for now. Your parents will come to pick you up in two days."
He Mingqi was about to refuse, but He Zifeng glared back.
"Hegemonism can bully a weak and helpless poor person like me."
Ignoring their daughter's resistance, He Zifeng and his wife got up and went out.
"Mom, Shasha and I are going back first." He Zinian also stood up.
"I want to go home with my parents." Qingqing shouted when she saw the two of them were leaving.
"Qingqing, what did mom tell you? Mom and dad are busy at work, and there are only two grandparents at home. You have to fulfill your filial piety for your parents and stay with them, do you know?"
Zhu Shasha knelt down and patiently comforted her son.
She also wanted to spend more time with her children, but she had not yet entered the He family. For the sake of the future, she could only make a choice.
