Chapter 674: Get the certificate first
Chapter 674: Get the certificate first
At home, dinner was already getting prepared.
Gang Zi had came back from his stall. In the cold weather of December, Gang Zi still went out to set up a stall. Have to say that he was a man who could endure hardship.
“Is this stove used to bake sweet potatoes?” Zhou Kai was surprised when he saw Gang Zi setting up a stove when he got home.
Gang Zi grinned and said, “Elder Brother Kai, would you like to try it?”
He stopped selling clothes this winter this year. Instead, he sold sweet potatoes and steamed buns.
This steamed bun were sourced from his maternal aunt and maternal uncle. The roasted sweet potatoes depended on himself. After putting out the stall for a day, basically they could not keep track of the profit. The business was pretty good.
Office workers couldn’t keep up with what he made.
Zhou Kai tasted one of his leftovers products. It was pretty decent and commented: “I heard Third said that you have bought a shop.”
Gang Zi grinned: “That’s just a small shop.”
Now it was rented out. It was a good idea to get some rental income every month.
“How’s Hu Zi’s side?” Zhou Kai asked.
“My elder brother is fine. He opened a clothing store. Definitely made more money than me.” Gang Zi answered.
“Why don’t you open a shop by yourself?” Zhou Kai accepted the orange that Weng Mei Jia had peeled for him and said while eating.
“The shop isn’t big. It’s not very suitable for selling clothes there. As for me, I don’t know how to do the rest. So just rented it out. It’s not a bad idea to set up a street stall at the moment.” Gang Zi responded.
“It’s too cold.” Zhou Kai pointed out.
“Dress warmly and it’ll be fine.” Gang Zi grinned.
“It’s not so easy to make money.” Third spoke.
“Yes, especially like us. There is no iron rice bowl. If you don’t work harder, you can’t afford to eat.” Gang Zi seconded.
“What you earned this month is one year of my allowance. So don’t cry poverty.” Zhou Kai waved his hand.
His allowance wasn’t low. He had 400 yuan with his current position. This was considered to be top salary level.
“Elder Brother Kai, what are you saying. I’m really poor! Don’t think I am so rich!” Gang Zi exclaimed.
“I don’t care. In short, you got to give me the biggest red envelope.” Zhou Kai openly demanded for a red envelope.
Weng Mei Jia helped bring the food over to the table over and jollily spoke: “How can you act like that? It’s time to eat.” Then she called Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai to have dinner.
“Eldest Sister-in-law, why are you still calling them Uncle and Aunt? You should call Dad and Mom.” Zhou Gui Lai said.
“What’s the hurry? It’s like not I’m going to run?” Weng Mei Jia gave him an eye-roll.
Zhou Kai asked about Zhou Xuan: “Is Second that busy now?”
“Busy. From what I heard from him, he’ll be even busier next year. He will be dispatched.” Lin Qing He told.
“Call He Family later.” Zhou Qing Bai stated. Eldest was back and he was about to get married. Second will definitely come back.
Lin Qing He agreed.
The family ate together as they chatted. It was very lively.
Only after dinner did Zhou Kai send Weng Mei Jia back. Zhou Gui Lai teased: “Eldest Brother, how about not coming back tonight and stay there?”
“Okay. Then I’ll be back early tomorrow morning.” Zhou Kai told his parents.
He drove Weng Mei Jia back. Zhou Gui Lai grinned and said, “My eldest brother is in a hurry. He urgently want to get married.”
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai had smiles in their eyes.
How long had Eldest waited to getting married? He got engaged at the age of twenty-one and when he reached the age of twenty-two, he planned to get married.
However, at 22, Weng Guo Dong got married. While at 23, Weng Guo Liang got married. The marriage had been delayed until this year. If they didn’t get married this year, it’ll have to the year after at 26.
Because at 25, it’ll be his birth year. Can’t get married.
But good things takes effort. It was pretty good to get married at the age of twenty-four now. Neither too late or early.Zhou Kai really stayed at his in-law’s house that night. There were vacant rooms. After all, Weng Guo Dong had moved out.
Mother Weng liked this son-in-law very much. The son-in-law she fancied back then will change his addressing to ‘Mom’ in a few days.
Aiya, the thought felt beautiful even just thinking about it.
“Mom can’t give anything else, so I prepared a gold ring each of you.” Mother Weng smilingly took out the gold rings. One for the male, one for the female.
In addition, there were two gold necklaces for her daughter. One heavier and the other lighter. Still, the weight was obviously enough.
“This must have cost a lot of money. Auntie, you can bear to.” Zhou Kai smiled.
“It’s not a lot. However, whether it’s the wedding gift or the rest, Auntie won’t keep it. You two can keep it for yourself.” Mother Weng said.
This was the gold jewelry she brought out in front of Zhou Kai. She had called her daughter back to the room to give personal possession.
She gave her daughter five thousand yuan in deposit book for her private use. It was also considered as her fund box.
“Mom, what need is there to give me so much. Back then, my elder sister only received 200.” Weng Mei Jia said.
“How can it be compared?” Mother Weng responded. She had an eldest daughter. The eldest child. She had married a long time ago: “Back then, two hundred yuan was a huge sum of money. Now the prices have risen so much. Our family’s conditions are also good. You caught up to a good time.”
Weng Mei Jia grinned, “We are relying on getting married to become rich.”
She and Zhou Kai’s salary wasn’t low. Of course, hers wasn’t as high as Zhou Kai. Zhou Kai was basically 400. When there was a mission or anything, there will be rewards. Most of the time, it was 500 to 600 yuan.
Her salary was only more than 100 yuan. The two’s expenses weren’t that much. In a month, 50 to 60 was the highest. The rest was saved.
Since Zhou Kai confirmed the relationship with her, the money had been controlled by her. The two of them got a small saving.
Now her mom gave her another five thousand. Which was quite a sum.
“This is true. I guess your mother-in-law had prepared something for you. That’s the truly the big piece.” Mother Weng merrily remarked.
Regarding Lin Qing He, this in-law, Mother Weng had no complaints. She had a so-so relationship with her eldest daughter’s mother-in-law. However, with her youngest daughter’s mother-in-law, Lin Qing He, they were like good sisters.
Weng Mei Jia smiled, but didn’t pay it much heed.
But the next day, the wedding gift was delivered.
11,000! It represent represents one out of countless. In addition, there were three golds and one silver.
After Zhou Kai sent these, he took Weng Mei Jia to get the marriage certificate first because the staff was about to go on vacation.
Marriage certificate first. Then official wedding was later.
Because they brought this marriage certificate over and showed it to Lin Qing He, Lin Qing He gave Zhou Kai another deposit book, which contained one hundred and one thousand yuan.
One hundred thousand was for the settling into a home allowance. One thousand yuan was to buy furniture for the young couple. As for one thousand not being enough for the furniture, then they can pool in their own money.
When Weng Mei Jia received this sum, she became stooped.
