Chapter 619: Enjoy a good and prosperous life
It was only when they were about to eat, Gang Zi came back on a tricycle.
“Wash your face and hands. Then eat.” Lin Qing He said.
“Okay.” Gang Zi grinned.
The family ate together. Occasionally guests came in to eat dumplings. Zhou Gui Lai went to cook it for them.
“This rooster is really delicious.” Jiang Geng commented.
“It’s really delicious. Uncle fried it?” Gang Zi asked.
“I did.” Zhou Gui Lai responded, “You two drink?”
Jiang Geng expressed his desire for a bit. Zhou Gui Lai poured him a small shot glass of it. He poured it for himself as well as a shot glass for his dad.
Paired with the rooster, it was so refreshing.
“Not drinking. I will go to set up the stall later.” When he was about to pour a little bit for Gang Zi, Gang Zi shook his head.
“Why are you working so hard?” Zhou Gui Lai said.
It wasn’t only Hu Zi going all out. Gang Zi too. They worked from morning to night.
“Not resting today?” Lin Qing He chipped in. Whether it was Hu Zi or Gang Zi, these two nephews were really motivated.
“Not very tired. It’s just watching a stall. No need to rest.” Gang Zi smiled.
His elder brother has already settled down here in the capital. He had a house, a wife, and a daughter. Can’t describe how happy he was.
While he still didn’t have anything. Of course, he had asked his fourth cousin-in-law to transfer his household registration for him. So he had spent a lot of money. Now it was time to settle the house. It won’t be as small as his elder brother’s. Everything else costed a lot of money.
Except for those sent to his parents, he currently accumulated more than 10,000 in saving.
Although it was quite a lot, his elder brother’s mother-in-law had found him a house last time and had costed from ten thousand. It wasn’t very big and was also relatively shabby. He didn’t take a fancy to it.
His aunt told him to continue to save. There was no rush. The commercial houses were already getting rebuilt. She told him to wait for the sale of commercial houses.
However, a lot of money was needed. Gang Zi didn’t mind. He felt listening to his aunt can’t go wrong. So he planned to buy this commercial house.
So it was time to work hard now.
Now the business was better than before. Just work hard and one can get over a thousand each month.
For now, got to wait until the spring starts. The new season clothes will come out. When the time comes, they will be very popular.
Lin Qing He didn’t dissuade him. Just said: “There is still a pot of chicken soup. Drink more later.”
“Okay.” Gang Zi grinned. Twenty yuan a month for living expenses. There was really nothing to complain about this food. Extremely wonderful.
Accommodation cost nothing. He now lived on the second floor of the dumpling shop. All by himself.
“I heard that Brother Hu Zi is looking for a shop recently.” Zhou Gui Lai chatted.
“Yes.” Gang Zi nodded.
“Have he found one? The shops aren’t cheap now.” Zhou Gui Lai said.
A shop started from ten thousand. If the location was good and area was spacious, it would cost more.
“Found one. The location is okay, but it costs 18 hundred. My third brother said forget it.” Gang Zi responded.
Eighteen hundred! That was truly expensive.
“If the location is good, tell Hu Zi to buy it.” Lin Qing He advised after hearing these words.
“Too expensive.” Gang Zi remarked.
“The price isn’t too expensive for a good location. Recently, it has risen rapidly in the past two years.” Lin Qing He told.
In fact, the house price wasn’t growing too fast right now. What was truly fast is later on. It can double overnight. That is the real increase. It had increased by a bit in the past two years. Still, not too expensive.
Of course, for the salary earner, it was undoubtedly sky-high price. The dead expensive kind.
Nowadays, the salary had increased a lot, but it was around 100 or so. For example, Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni, who worked in the dry good shop. Lin Qing He paid the couple 300 yuan. Minus the living expenses, there was only so much that can be saved in a year.
This was considered a dual-income family. Many were single-income.
However, when this year is over, Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni will be able to pay off their debts. The debt from buying the shop. Now the shop was still rented out. They haven’t started their business yet. Still their lives weren’t bad.
It was just they weren’t developing as fast ast Hu Zi and Gang Zi.
Lin Qing He had asked. However, Zhou San Ni’s response was no rush. Take their time. There will be more opportunities in the future, so don’t be anxious for now.
There were indeed many opportunities behind. Certainly no need to worry too much. So Lin Qing He didn’t say anything.
The shop was bought. A house will be bought in the future. Then it’ll be enjoying a good and prosperous life. There were plenty of opportunities.
Putting aside Zhou San Ni and Li Ai Guo’s matter, Lin Qing He felt the shop that Hu Zi liked could be bought.
When Gang Zi set up the stall, he told his elder brother about this: “We talked about this when we were eating. Aunt said, if the location is good, buy it. Don’t hesitate.”
When he went home at night, Hu Zi brought it up to Chen Shan Shan.
At present, Hu Zi had a lot saved. However, 18 hundred was a high price. This was almost enough to empty the family.
Of course, there will be some left. The two of them got a daughter. They gave Chen Shan Shan’s mom, Li Yu Feng 30 yuan a month for the hard work of minding the child.
What was left was from Hu Zi’s hawking and Chen Shan Shan’s own salary. Of course he would send some home for his parents, which needn’t be much. So a lot was saved.
Still, 18 hundred was very expensive.
“How about buying it? Aunt’s eyesight is the best. Listening to Aunt’s opinion is the right way.” Chen Shan Shan said.
Hu Zi smiled bitterly: “I know that it can’t be wrong to listen to Aunt, but it’s too expensive.”
“Though it is expensive, you can’t keep setting up a stall like this. It’s more important to have your own shop in the future,” Chen Shan Shan persuaded.
She helped Lin Qing He watched the shop. Once she had her own shop, she could open the door to do business. Then she could ask her two cousins to watch it. She’ll be the manager. Then she’ll mind Aunt’s shop too. It isn’t a big problem.
“Buy the shop. We’ll do our own business in the future. When the business is good, the money would be returned.” Chen Shan Shan continued.
Finally, Hu Zi gave the nod and went to find the landlord of the shop the next day. 18 hundred. Not a penny less was given.
Hu Zi transferred the deed with gritted teeth. This time, the original saving had shrunk by nearly 90%. Especially when the shop had to be refurbished by himself. It cost two to three hundred yuan.
Hu Zi and Chen Shan Shan bought the shop and came over to let them know.
Lin Qing He beamed: “It’s right to buy it. You can help keep an eye out for Gang Zi. If there is a suitable one, Gang Zi buy one too.”
“I don’t want to. I want to buy a house. Don’t have a house yet. Must save and buy a commercial house.” Gang Zi stated.
He had heard his aunt’s description and felt that the commercial house was like a presidential suite.
So there was no rush for a shop. However, he wanted to buy this commercial house first!
