Chapter 615: Beautiful year
Chapter 615. Beautiful year
This year's dry good business was indeed very good. Much better than last year.
Zhou Gui Lai and Zhou Xuan work away from the early until noon, when they returned for lunch. Zhou Gui Lai spoke: "Mom, I feel that we should find a gift box manufacturer after this year is over. The bags aren't good enough."
"Sure. You can order a batch starting from next year. You will be responsible for finding one when that time comes." Lin Qing He responded.
"Tell Second Brother to find it." Zhou Gui Lai wanted to be lazy.
"You will be in business in the future. You have to learn these things. Your second brother isn't taking the path as you." Lin Qing He stated.
Zhou Gui Lai had nothing to retort and can only take it on.
Out of all the businesses under their name, only the beverage shop and the dry good shop were open. The others were closed.
Holidays that should given were given. The double wages that should paid were paid. They busied away until the New Year’s Eve before it was finished.
There was still some business in the morning, but after twelve o'clock, there was basically no business.
So Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni cleaned up and brought their son, Pang Pang over to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side for New Year's Eve dinner.
This year, Weng Guo Dong and Zhou Si Ni went to the countryside. There were only Father Weng, Mother Weng, and Weng Mei Jia at home. So they must come here to eat together.
The more people, the more lively. They came to the dumpling shop to eat.
Second was sent to his grandparent's side as this side's representative to go over to eat.
"We joined you last year and here we are again this year. This saved me the trouble." Mother Weng drank some beverage and merrily said.
"I hope to celebrate it like this every year. So much liveliness?" Lin Qing He remarked.
"If possible, I want to too." Mother Weng couldn't be any delighted.
"What are you saying, Auntie Weng? As long as you want to, then there's no problem at all." Zhou Gui Lai drank a little wine and smacked his lips in satisfaction before speaking.
He was eighteen after this New Year. So Lin Qing He didn't stop him and let him drink. After all, if he wants to do business in the future, he must socialize. Cheering and toasting won't be lacking.
"Third, don't drink too much." Mother Weng laughed.
"Of course, I won't drink too much. However, Uncle Weng, Auntie Weng, I got to toast you a cup first. Wish you all the best every year and live younger and younger." Zhou Gui Lai declared.
Father Weng jollily touched cup with him: "I also wish you on finding someone sooner."
Mother Weng used beverage and expressed the same thing before merrily drinking it.
Zhou Kai stated: "Dad, when Third graduates, let him go out and try other business by himself. Let him practice more."
"That's for sure. You don't need to say. When I graduate, I got to gather experience myself." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"What do you want to do in the future?" Father Weng asked.
"I want to make a dumpling factory." Zhou Gui Lai answered.
"Dumpling Factory? Does that have business? It's not something uncommon." Mother Weng couldn't help but utter.
"It isn't uncommon, so it's not easy to do it. Have to plan slowly. There is that plan. Got to see if there is something more suitable in the future. Nothing is certain." Zhou Gui Lai bragged.
"I think the clothing store business is quite good. Why not do this?" Mother Weng said.
"Auntie Weng, how's this year's earning?" Zhou Gui Lai smilingly said.
Mother Weng grinned: "It's pretty good. But I only got one. Can't compare with your mom's few."
"It's not good to do the same thing. If it doesn't make money, how much pressure it'll be. Got to develop more in other stuff. If this one doesn't work, there will be another two or so. Only, it got more stability." Zhou Gui Lai spoke.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qing He looked at her third child in surprise.
She couldn't tell that he had such thought and can consider this point.
"Don't listen to him. It's all brag. Eat more." Zhou Qing Bai had his little girl in his arms. He urged Father Weng and Mother Weng.
Father Weng smiled and toasted him a glass.
This meal was very satisfying. Halfway through, Second came back and joined the table.
The whole family reunited and had a New Year's Eve dinner.
After eating, Zhou Kai took Weng Mei Jia out for a stroll. Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai cleaned up. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai brought Father Weng and Mother Weng to the singled storey house to have tea and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Mother Weng held little Mi Mi and said, "I thought there are a lot of pressure when birthing again at forty. However, it seems like it's pretty nice to have a little girl."
"It is. It's a big responsibility. The rest can fly out of the nest, while this one just hatched." Lin Qing He replied.
Mother Weng smilingly commented: "Now the conditions are good and the era is open, it won't be too difficult to raise. Or you can find a babysitter. In my area, there are people who hired a babysitter for 60 yuan a month. The housework is all covered."
"Let Qing Bai handle it. He is happy to." Lin Qing He grinningly responded.
Zhou Qing Bai spoke: "It's not difficult. There's nothing busy with. I can watch her."
He also worried about leaving his little girl to the nanny. Besides, there was really nothing to be busy with. When the spring starts next year, it'll be when daughter become older and more sensible.
"Pang Pang has been well fed by you, Sister San Ni." Zhou Gui Lai held Pang Pang and remarked.
He looked so sturdy and cute. Li Ai Guo loved this son very much and smilingly said: "He has a big appetite. He's not happy about being fed less.
"He can go to kindergarten when he's three years old." Lin Qing He brought up.
"Isn't three-year-old a little young?" Zhou San Ni responded.
"Not young. However, you can wait until four years old before sending him there. Don't let it be over five years old." Lin Qing He advised.
Only after giving birth to a son did she knew what life was. There were concerns and expectations. And felt very motivated each day. Once she pay off her fourth aunt's money in the future, she and Ai Guo can try to open some of store of their own and see how the business is.
After staying here until nine o'clock or so, Zhou Xuan drove them all home.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai got ready to go to bed.
"Qing Bai, our family's life is getting better year after year. Do you have anything to say?" Lin Qing He spoke.
"Marry a good wife, bless three generations." Zhou Qing Bai responded.
Lin Qing H gave him an amused eye-roll: "Glib tongue. Don't think it's useful to make me happy. Stay away from me tonight."
"Can't. There's only one bed." Zhou Qing Bai placed little daughter in the crib made for her and began to undress.
In a short moment, he took his wife into his embrace. Lin Qing He gave him a light hammer: "Old uncultivated."
Zhou Qing Bai laughed and went to bed with his wife in his arms.
That was how the beautiful 1985 passed.
