Chen Chen didn't want to be like her sister, who had to think about others for everything. It was so tiring. It was best for him to be silly like this.
The aunt was just teasing Chen Chen. Hearing Chen Chen's words, she laughed and walked away.
Grandma Chen didn't expect that Jiujiu really came back with the first place in the country. Then, her future would be bright. Thinking that Jiujiu would get into a good school, get a good job, and make a lot of money, Grandma Chen looked at Jiujiu as if she were looking at a golden child.
Unfortunately, this golden child was not in love with her. Now, she could only maintain the superficial peace. She forced a smile and said, "Jiujiu, have you eaten? There is porridge in the pot. I'll get some for you. "
"I came here after having dinner with Chen Chen. Don't bother."
The family hadn't finished eating yet. They continued to eat after a few words of greeting.
The aunt's family was the most difficult, but she was the most good-tempered one. Jiujiu liked her and kept talking to her.
After dinner, other villagers who heard that Jiujiu and Chen Chen came back also came to the house to watch the fun.
It was already very impressive that Jiujiu got the first place in the country. In the summer, she sold a prescription for 30,000 yuan. Thirty thousand yuan! The whole family worked hard without eating or drinking to save so much money. She made so much money with only a few lines of words. She was really amazing.
The villagers looked at Jiujiu as if they were looking at a fairy. After a long time, someone asked, "Did you really sell the prescription for 30,000 yuan?"
Jiujiu nodded. "We did sell a lot, but my family borrowed the money to buy the shop. We've returned all of it."
The villagers were all jealous. If they didn't live well, they hoped that the whole world would be unlucky.
When they heard that Jiujiu sold a prescription for 30,000 yuan, they were a little jealous. Now that they heard that all the money was paid back, they felt much better.
Hearing that Jiujiu bought a shop, the aunt asked, "I heard that your father opened a shop in the county. What does he sell?"
"At the back door of the hospital, the people who sell food are just trying to earn some hard-earned money." Jiujiu said slowly, "Every day, we have to get up at six o 'clock in the morning to prepare the ingredients, and we can't go home until eight or nine o' clock in the evening. It's okay to have Chen Chen and me to help during the holidays, but we'll be busier when school starts."
When those who were jealous of Jiujiu's family for buying the shops heard that it was so hard, the last bit of unwillingness in their hearts completely disappeared.
So what if he had a shop? He was still going to have to work hard like them.
Little Aunt nodded in agreement. "How can business not be busy? Sigh, your parents are still doing well. Now that they have a shop, no matter how much they earn, it will all fall into their own hands. Unlike your uncle and I, who don't know the next meal. It's enough to worry us to death."
Obviously, he wanted Jiujiu to talk about business. Jiujiu was not stupid, so she did not say anything.
Little Aunt, "…"
The villagers watched for a while and then left. In order to benefit from Jiujiu in the future, Grandma Chen was very nice to Jiujiu now. As soon as the villagers left, she immediately went to cut the watermelon.
After eating the watermelon, Grandma Chen washed the grapes and put them in Jiujiu's hand for Jiujiu to eat.
Jiujiu ate a few grapes and then stopped, listening to Grandma Chen with a smile.
Grandma Chen restrained her temper and said a few polite words. Jiujiu gave her 100 yuan, saying that it was the prize money she won in the last competition. It was her filial piety to Grandma Chen.
Grandma Chen did not expect that Jiujiu would give her money. She was instantly happy, and her attitude towards Jiujiu and Chen Chen became better.
Jiujiu did not have a good impression of Grandma Chen, but after all, she was her grandmother. As long as Grandma Chen could behave, she would be happy to buy peace with money.
Jiujiu and Chen Chen did not like Grandma Chen very much, so they did not stay at Grandma Chen's house. After dinner, they went back in the afternoon.
But before leaving, Little Aunt said that she wanted to visit her parents' shop in two days.
Little Aunt said that, but she went directly to the shop the next day.
When she went there, it was exactly twelve o 'clock, the busiest time. Father Chen and Mother Chen were so busy that they did not have time to greet her.
Little Aunt could only stand aside and wait quietly. When it was past two o 'clock, she stepped forward and sighed. "Your business is really good."
Jiujiu had told Father Chen and Mother Chen in advance that Little Aunt was back, so they were not too surprised. After greeting her, Father Chen went to wash the dirty dishes, while Mother Chen said while preparing the things for the afternoon, "It's all hard-earned money. Sister, why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming?"
Little Aunt waved her hand. "We're all family, so I don't mind. I'm here today mainly to ask about your business."
After saying that, Little Aunt knew that her request was a little too much, so she sighed faintly and said, "You know my family's situation. Your brother-in-law and I are the only ones who can take care of our three children. Even if we work hard, we can't make much money, so we're wondering if we can do a small business like you."
Father Chen had the best impression of his second sister, and they had the best relationship.
Hearing his second sister talk about doing business, Father Chen thought for a while and said, "Second sister, I won't hide it from you. Our business is good because of your sister-in-law's good cooking. You know that she used to be a kitchen helper in a hotel. Between you and my brother-in-law, who can cook?"
Little Aunt was instantly stunned.
She was busy making a living every day. As long as she could fill her stomach, she did not care if it tasted good or not.
Now that Father Chen asked her this question, she suddenly realized that she had only thought about doing business to make money, but had forgotten that people nowadays weren't like the people of the past. There were so many stalls now, and if the food you cooked didn't taste good, why would people come to your place to eat?
Little Aunt wiped the sweat off her forehead and sighed. "Your brother-in-law and I aren't very good at cooking. According to what you're saying, we can't do business?"
"There are millions of businesses nowadays. You don't have to open a restaurant." Father Chen rinsed the clean bowls and chopsticks with water and set them aside to dry. Then he said, "Sister, since you're asking sincerely, I'll point you in the right direction. The restaurants on our street need this much food every day …"
Father Chen gave a number, then looked at Little Aunt and said, "There's a delivery man in this area who raises the price. The price he quoted is almost the same as the market price, and we've been dissatisfied with him for a long time. Sister, if you're not afraid of suffering and can get in touch with a wholesale supplier, as long as the price is reasonable, I'll let all the shops on our street buy from you."
"Although it's a small profit but quick turnover, if more people buy, you'll make money." Mother Chen smiled and said, "No matter how much you make, it's still better than you and brother-in-law staying at home all day with no income, right?"
Little Aunt had initially wanted to see if she could do business, but Father Chen and Mother Chen had pointed her in the right direction. She thought about how many people in her village grew vegetables in large sheds. If she could get in touch with the villagers, they would be able to sell the vegetables, and she would be able to receive the vegetables as well as make money. Why not?
She did as she said, and Little Aunt directly said, "I'll go back and discuss it with someone. When I'm ready, can you help me get in touch with a buyer?"
"You're my sister, why would I lie to you?"
