Chapter 557 No saving for this daughter-con
Hu Zi sighed. It was no wonder Aunt told him to study. No matter what it was, as long as one was lacking in an area, they can learn.
He had learned a lot from the time when he watching the shops. Now the hawking business was getting better and better. This was because of the foundation laid by serving people in the past.
If not, letting him, a country boy, set up a stall? He didn't have the guts and the ability.
Business was about being social skills. This was what his aunt taught him. If people didn't do a good job as a person, then they were looking for trouble when they want to do business.
Hu Zi watched Xu Sheng Qiang's situation today and really wanted to say a few words. However, the other party didn't wish to talk with him, especially when seeing his business was so good and his side had no business.
Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows and spoke, "Is his business not as good as you?"
Xu Sheng Qiang had a temper. He hadn't learned how to be a decent person when he came to the capital. She wasn't optimistic about him setting up a stall like this.
Putting it more seriously, if he offended someone he shouldn't, then he was going to take a fall.
Hu Zi didn't find it anything to be proud of and said, "I was taught by you and had went to school and opened my eyes. My uncle taught me to be polite when doing business. No one on Sheng Qiang's side taught him. It's normal if it's not as good as my side."
"This explanation is wrong. It's not that no one taught him. There are people wanting to teach. The problem is that whether he want to be taught." Lin Qing He responded.
Lin Qing He was pitted by Xu Sheng Mei before, so she never gave Xu Sheng Qiang any good attitude. But her Qing Bai was kind.
He also want to hope for the best for him and even sent him to study. And what did Xu Sheng Qiang do?
She won't mention the old history but the five fingers were still long and short. So if he wasn't promising, there was nothing to say.
It wasn't like they owe him.
After Lin Qing He finished speaking, she reminded Hu Zi: "Doing business is doing business. Don't get involved in the rest. If you want to say a few words, he may not want to listen to you. Just do your own thing, understand?"
"Listen to your aunt." Zhou Qing Bai opened his mouth.
Hu Zi nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Go and set the table." Lin Qing He ordered.
This year, she didn't hold back. The food cost had risen to ten yuan for everyone. Still, ten yuan wasn't really much. One definitely can't eat such a meal when they go out.
A plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of stewed pork belly with potatoes, fried pork slices with pickle veg, and two plates of cabbage. The rest was a pot of seaweed and pork ribs soup.
The staple food was mantou. White flour ones and cornmeal ones.
The corn buns were requested by Lin Qing He. She liked to eat whole grains since her pregnancy started.
Those who came to eat were Second, Third, Gang Zi, and Hu Zi. The others weren't present. Si Ni will get back to work in April. She was still helping with Zhou Er Ni's babies.
"I heard that this is how Uncle's family ate many years ago." During the meal, Gang Zi commented while biting the mantou and eating slices of meat and pickled veg.
"Exaggeration." Lin Qing He laughed.
"That's right. How could there be so many dishes back then." Zhou Gui Lai rolled his eyes.
"Isn't there? Yang Yang came over during the summer vacation and said so." Gang Zi said.
"There wasn't this many dishes. Just two or three dishes." Lin Qing He spoke.
At that time, she was still in the countryside. Zhou Qing Bai had to work in the field every day. She was unwilling to work, so she didn't earn work points. She had to keep up with the food, right?
So the amount of eggs and meat weren't much, but basically they can be eaten every day. After all, she brought so many supplies over.
Because of difference in norms, Lin Qing He was naturally unwilling to save that little money and make Zhou Qing Bai work all day without enough warm food to eat.
Even if she didn't make anything delicious, he didn't dare to have any opinions. Still, her conscience wouldn't let her do that.
"Yang Yang must have saw it occasionally and remembered. Our family had a lot of dishes during the New Year." Zhou Gui Lai still remembered.
In fact, when it comes to food at home, the eldest, Zhou Kai, had the clearest memory.
He still remembered that when he was in high school, he went to eat at the home of one of his good classmates. The conditions in his home were pretty good.
It can be regarded as a warm hospitality to him, but the dishes at his home were worse than what he usually ate. No need to mention how bad it was. All in all, it lacked bit oil content.
When sleeping at night, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai chatted about this: "Now I am pregnant with this one, I keep remembering the days in the countryside for some reason?"
She reached what age? Already reminiscing the bitter and sweet matters.
But there was nothing bitter before. She was profiting from reselling food. With the materials in the space, her life was lively and vivid.
Even now, she didn't know what's going on.
"Maybe because we are going to have our own children?" Zhou Qing Bai pondered for a long time and forced out such a sentence?
Lin Qing He almost jumped up and scolded, "What do you mean? You mean, the boys aren't my son?"
Zhou Qing Bai got a scare from her and quickly coaxed: "No. I didn't mean that."
Lin Qing He snorted: "I forgive you for not having that meaning!"
When she first arrived, it was undeniable that she wanted to raise them up and teach them not to harm their surrounding. Then her mission would be completed.
But people's hearts were made with flesh. The three children were all brought up by her. Wasn't saying this piercing heart?
"Be careful. Don't stretch." Zhou Qing Bai urged.
Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll: "You haven't turned in the accounts for the past few months. How many shops have you bought?"
Zhou Qing Bai went to the cabinet and took all the land deeds. There were only two more land deeds and related documents. Lin Qing He was shocked when she saw the documents. My, my, the two land deeds were for factories?
"There's a lot of abandoned factory buildings. I went to inquire and see if they wanted to sell them. I bought them for 30,000 yuan each." Zhou Qing Bai explained.
Lin Qing He nodded and said, "Where's the money for this month?"
"I have booked two shops in excellent locations. One is worth 10,000 yuan. I plan to buy it at that time." Zhou Qing Bai told.
"I'm telling you beforehand. You're not allowed to mention to the boys that they don't have any share in the future. Including the one in my stomach. When we are old in the future, they will all be treated equally without any favoritism. You hear?" Lin Qing He looked at him as she stated.
It was no wonder that there was a saying that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather. Her man's heart was completely biased toward the one in her stomach.
But she wasn't a stepmother, she was a biological mother!
"That's impossible." Zhou Qing Bai bluntly shook his head.
Lin Qing He stared at him.
"The boys has grown up. We were still young when they were young. We can help no matter what. When Third comes out and wants to open a dumpling factory, we can support him because we are still young now. But once our daughter grow up, how old will we be? At that time, we don't have the ability to work at that time." Zhou Qing Bai flatly stated.
Lin Qing He glared at him.
"What should be given to them won't be shorted. However, I want to leave more for my daughter. They dare not have any opinions. Otherwise, I will break their dog leg and forget about having a penny!" Zhou Qing Bai declared.
Lin Qing He had only one thought. No saving for this daughter-con!
