Once the new year is over, Zhao Qinglan doesn't plan to have any leisure time.
Her husband goes to work, the children go to school, and she stays at home, except for housework and reading books.
For this reason, she made a special trip back to the area.
As time entered 1983, the atmosphere for self-employed businesses became more relaxed, and she also had the idea of opening a new store.
This time she did not need to be in the name of a so-called public entity, but could obtain an individual industrial and commercial business license in her own name.
In fact, this policy has been implemented in many places two years ago, but the spring breeze has finally come to their side.
She had heard some rumors at the end of last year, but had been waiting and watching. Now that the policy was implemented, she immediately took action.
The main store of the Military-Civilian Union is still affiliated with the army, and she has no plans to spin it off.
After all, when the military-civilian cooperation first started, it benefited a lot from it.
It's just a new store, and she can finally show off her skills.
The people in the military-civilian cooperative are all old people. When opening a new store, people can be transferred from them.
She also started decorating the store and expanding it non-stop.
When it comes to recruiting workers, although she will transfer people from old stores to manage them, she still gives priority to military wives for new hires.
When they learned that she was recruiting workers, the military wives in the regiment were very proactive.
Fortunately, she doesn't live here anymore, so she doesn't have to face these interpersonal troubles.
Thanks to those previous experiences, the decoration and layout of the new store and the recruitment and training of employees went very smoothly.
In just three months, the second branch of Military and Civilian Union in the region was grandly opened.
The scale is not smaller than the main store at all, and even exceeds it in some aspects.
The business of her main store was so good, and she opened a new store on the other side of the city. The people in charge of several state-owned hotels in the city felt very unhappy.
But how could Zhao Qinglan care about this? This is also normal business competition, and whether the results are good or not all depends on their own abilities.
Her new store was not affiliated with her this time, so naturally some people were unhappy.
But this is her personal freedom. Now that there are more and more self-employed businesses, Zhao Qinglan is no longer conspicuous.
After the new store opened, she paid attention to it for a few days and found that everything was running smoothly, so she let the store manager manage it. She was only responsible for regular inspections and reading the accounts.
After finishing her work here, she hurried to the capital.
My younger sister’s wedding is scheduled for mid-June, and as an older sister, she has to go early to help prepare.
Their whole family is not in the capital, only their uncle is in the capital, and their parents' family is far away, so they are more careful in preparing for the wedding, not wanting their sister to be looked down upon by her husband's family after the marriage.
Zhao Qingzhu was going to get married in her courtyard in the capital.
Mrs. Sun went to the capital before and walked around with Mr. Dou for a few days before choosing a house in the capital for her little girl. This was also the most expensive part of Zhao Qingzhu's dowry.
Zhao Qinglan came over after finishing work on the new store, but her mother, Sun, had been in the capital for two months.
That was to decorate the courtyard in the capital bit by bit. After Zhao Qinglan came over, there wasn't much to do.
Sun Guangming was also very interested in the niece's partner because he introduced him to her and he had no children.
Thanks to him, it is easier for Mr. Sun to do many things.
There were people in Zhao Qingzhu's husband's family who looked down on her because Zhao Qingzhu was from out of town. But when they learned that Zhao Qingzhu actually had a courtyard house in Beijing under her name, they really looked at her with admiration.
With the convenience of reform and opening up, many things are now less in short supply, and some do not require tickets.
Mrs. Sun bought a lot of things for her little girl, and Zhao Qingzhu felt embarrassed. After all, when the two sisters got married, they didn't have so many things.
However, neither Zhao Qinglan nor Zhao Qingzhu cared about this. They both added a lot of things to their sister's dowry, either gold or silver, which made Zhao Qingju's dowry even richer.
Zhao Qingzhu was pregnant, and now her belly was too big to move easily. Sun didn't ask her to come over early to add makeup to her sister. Zhao Qingzhu asked her eldest sister Zhao Qinglan to bring them over first.
There are many things that need to be communicated before marriage. Sun Guangming is busy with work and cannot follow up all the time. Fortunately, Mr. Dou and the Zhang family can help.
Zhang Yu and his wife Song Yi returned to Beijing to celebrate the New Year and then returned to Shenzhen.
But when Song Yi's belly became pregnant, the Zhang family's parents urged their son to let their daughter-in-law come back to wait for the birth. They would be there to worry about her, and her daughter-in-law would also have someone to take care of her.
In fact, Song Yi has no shortage of people to take care of her in Shenzhen City. Their company's real estate business is progressing smoothly. The house was almost sold out in a few months, and a large amount of cash was withdrawn. Not only did she repay the bank loan, he and Zhao Qinglan also received
A big dividend has arrived.
Zhang Yu hired a nanny early on to do housework and take care of his wife, but outsiders are always not as considerate as his family members.
Song Yi didn't want her father-in-law and mother-in-law to worry all the time, so she returned to the capital in May. It was almost the due date and she would give birth in a few days.
Having a large amount of dividends gives Zhao Qinglan the confidence to expand aggressively and open new stores.
After the new store in the area runs for a while, she will continue to open stores in the provincial capital.
The career ambition that has been suppressed for a long time can be expanded, and from now on she will be completely released.
But all this has to wait until she is finished with her little sister's marriage.
His wife was about to give birth, and Zhang Yu put down his business in Shenzhen and returned to the capital.
Knowing that Zhao Qinglan's sister was getting married, he was such a warm-hearted person that he followed her and tried to help her. He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.
Not to mention, with him around, Zhao Qingju's husband's family also valued Zhao Qingju more and more.
Although Zhang Yu did not follow the wishes of his elders in the family to enter official career and develop in the army, he was still a member of the Zhang family.
Although Zhao Qingju's husband's family is not considered an upper-class family in Beijing, it can still be considered a middle-class family. The relatives in the family live in different public institutions and large state-owned factories.
This is also the reason why some people in her husband's family looked down on Zhao Qingju at first.
Fortunately, Zhao Qingju, her partner and her family members are generally pretty good, so Zhao Qingju and her partner can continue to develop.
If this family hadn't been so good, Sun Guangming wouldn't have introduced her to his niece in the first place.
When Zhao Qingju's wedding was coming in a few days, Song Yi gave birth.
Song Yi didn't notice much when she was pregnant, but she gave birth to two twins, a boy and a girl. This made the Zhang family extremely happy.
When the news reached Song Yi's former husband's family, the family became more complicated and regretful.
Back then, they embarrassed Song Yi when she got married. Zhang Yu was very vindictive and took some revenge after that.
Now that Song Yi has only two friends in her life, she regrets it even more.
As soon as Zhao Qinglan learned that Song Yi had given birth successfully, she ran to the hospital to visit her.
Seeing Zhao Qinglan, Zhang's mother was also very happy and held her in her arms and talked for a long time.
After seeing Song Yi and Zhang Yu's children, the rest of Zhao Qinglan's family also came.
Li Huai and Zhou Jinsheng came by train with their children who had just gone on summer vacation and pregnant woman Zhao Qingzhu.
The courtyard where Zhao Qingju got married suddenly became lively.
