"Brother Niu, Simei is just joking. The two of us can go there alone with Qiqi."
Sanli saw Niu Ye's face full of reluctance and said.
"Qiao Yicheng won't go either?"
"My eldest brother, I am busy with school and have many things to do, so I don't have time to go there."
The reason Qiao Yicheng came up with was also quite perfunctory.
"Then when you're done, I'll pick you up."
The house and shop that Qiao Erqiang rented are quite far from here.
It's the exact opposite of the medical school. In order to take care of my son's schooling at a cheaper price, I chose the place near Yuhong Machinery Factory.
"Sister, the second sister-in-law is such a nice person."
"Yes, I also think the second sister-in-law is a good person."
"Well, my second sister-in-law, you have really made the house look like a home."
When Niu Ye came over the next day and took them back, Sanli and Simei had been completely captured by Ma Suqin, and they only got along with each other in private.
"Qiqi, what do you think of this second sister-in-law?"
Niu Ye asked, followed by Qiao Qiqi who was unable to interrupt the two people.
"Hello, brother."
Qiao Qiqi thought about it for a long time and gave an unexpected answer.
No matter how virtuous Ma Suqin is, she should be no more virtuous to Qiao Qiqi than Qiao Weimin.
Qiao Qiqi stood firmer and was not easily captured by Ma Suqin. Within one meal, the two started to speak for Ma Suqin.
"Qiao Simei, aren't you very proud now? You have made great contributions to Qiao Erqiang's ability to marry that woman. Your second brother and that woman's restaurant are also about to open, and you like it so much. Do you want to come over and follow me?
Let's work with that woman." Niu Ye asked with a bit of sarcasm.
"You think I don't want to. If my second brother hadn't opened a restaurant that was too small and couldn't use so many people, I would have come over to my second brother's place to work."
Looking at Qiao Simei's face, I don't know if I heard the sarcasm, but the idea of going to go is quite real. Among the children in the Qiao family, the only one who is closer to Qiao Erqiang and can speak his mind better is Qiao Simei.
.
"Brother Niu, you seemed to have said that your second brother was going to open a restaurant a long time ago. I asked you about this matter. How did you know about it so early?" Qiao Simei's memory is not bad, which fully shows that Qiao Simei did not study well in school.
It’s just that I don’t want to learn.
"At that time, I was going to break up with your second brother. Besides opening a restaurant, what else could your second brother do?" Niu Ye could only laugh and deal with it.
A few days later, Qiao Erqiang opened a new restaurant and won a lot of praise.
Even if the matter with Qiao Erqiang is over, the scale of Erqiang's newly opened restaurant is a little smaller.
It's impossible to make a fortune in a small restaurant with six tables, but if you run it well and live a well-off life, it won't be a big problem.
This is very consistent with the way that the top two usually show less ambition and no ambition.
After that, Qiao Erqiang and Ma Suqin lived a small life as a family of three.
We don’t have much time to go back to Qiao’s house in Shamao Lane, only a few times a month.
As for Qiao Erqiang, as long as Qiao Erqiang can successfully create a third generation for the Qiao family, Niu Ye is not prepared to take care of it anymore.
…
"Mom, didn't I just go home during the weekend? How come you're here just after a day?"
After New Year's Day, basically 90 years ago, Niu Ma suddenly came over to Niu Ye.
"Well, the house is quite clean. Sanli, I come here often to help you clean it up recently." Niu Ma first looked at the house and found that it was normal. When men and women tidy up the house, the details are still very different.
big.
"Why did I come here? Wasn't it because you asked me to come? You told me before that if there is any movement in the factory, you asked me to notify you as soon as possible."
"Mom, is there any news about contracting in your factory?"
"Yes, the efficiency of the factory is getting worse and worse. Even though many people have been laid off, the factory still can't pay wages, let alone New Year's benefits. The workers in the factory are very dissatisfied. I
I heard from the director of our workshop that the factory leaders are already studying and want to contract out the factory."
"That's a good thing." Niu Ye clapped his hands and said. Then he looked at Niu's mother. He was in a bad mood because the factory was about to disappear. He quickly saved it and said, "The contract is out. At least the wages of the workers in the factory can be paid. It's better than
It would be better if I could not pay my salary."
"Niu Ye, just say what you need to say. Mom is fine. Many factories are gone. Mom is also mentally prepared for this."
Niu Ma saw that Niu Ye was worried about speaking and it was inconvenient, so she spoke.
"Mom, let's stop talking about it. Let's go home now and cook some food together. When my dad comes back, we can talk about it together. This is also a big deal."
"Niu Ye, are you coming back now? Mom has just come here, and she is going to see if there is anything you can't do. Mom will help you clean up."
Niu Ye's ability to live independently is still very strong, that is, he cannot do some sewing, mending, and needlework.
I haven’t exercised in several lifetimes, and I don’t want to do these tasks.
"No, it's not important. Sanli comes here often, so don't worry about it, mom. Let's go to the vegetable market first, buy some good food, and then go home." Niu Ye pulled Niu Ma out of the door.
Buy groceries, go home, cook, and wait for Dad Niu to come back.
"What day is it today? Why did you cook so many dishes again?"
When Dad Niu came back, he was quite surprised.
"Today is not a special day, it's just that the things I want to talk about are a bit special. But don't worry, dad, you go and wash up first, sit down later, and let's talk together," Niu Ye said.
It would be a pity to have good food but not good wine, so I opened another bottle of wine.
"Niuye, if you have any questions, just talk to me first. It's so formal. If you don't explain it clearly, I won't even be able to eat this meal."
"Dad, how is your business doing recently?" Niu Ye asked directly.
"Business is okay. Niu Ye, do you need any money here? How much do you need? Dad will get it for you."
Niu Ye has not asked for money from home for a year or two, but Niu Ye's father still has this habit. When Niu Ye asked about business matters, Niu Ye's father thought that Niu Ye needed money.
"Dad, I don't need money this time. Please tell me the truth. Is the business still going well now?"
"There are more businesses now. Business is not as easy to do as it was in previous years. You can make money just by flipping something, and the profits are so high. But now our family has more capital and less profits, so we can make more money."
, making money is not less than before.”
Speaking of this, Niu Dad is quite proud. Whether it was before or after the reform, working as a sailor or doing business, Niu Dad made Niu Ma and Niu Ye live a prosperous life. He said it happily.
I had a drink myself.
However, the situation is not different from what Niu Ye expected. Although the money earned may be about the same, the money used to be valuable and the capital used was small. The buying and selling business is not as easy as before.
