Before going to bed at night, Xu Dong told his wife about Lele.
Yang Lina frowned and said, "Didn't I tell them both that study is the most important thing now. If you really want to make money, you can work in grandpa's company during the summer vacation."
"How can they do summer jobs when they are so young?" Xu Dong shook his head.
"I asked Dad. I can go to the office to clean, wipe the table, and mop the floor."
"This is too hard." Xu Dong said distressedly.
Yang Lina couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Do you really raise them as eldest ladies?"
"That's not what I meant. Mopping the floor is purely physical work. You won't learn anything. Setting up a stall can at least exercise your accounting skills." Xu Dong advised.
"What if they spend money randomly?"
"You can open a passbook and save it. At most, I can give them two hundred yuan every month. It will definitely be enough." Xu Dong suggested.
Yang Lina shook her head: "Can they both agree?"
"You leave your bankbook to them. Without your ID card and password, they won't be able to withdraw the money."
Xu Dong showed a "profiteer" face.
"This is a good idea, but if we put them together with Dabao and the others, will they fight?" Yang Lina asked worriedly.
"This is easy to handle, just separate them."
"How to separate?"
"Let Coco and the others go to the bakery to set up a stall. The bakery was originally named after them. Going there is like going home." Xu Dong replied with a smile.
Yang Lina hesitated: "There are cars coming and going in the bakery, what if we bump into each other?"
"It's definitely not possible at the main entrance. You can set up a stall inside the factory. We might as well ask mom to find a small private room for the two of them and open a canteen."
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. They only have time on weekends, how can they have time to open a canteen during the week?"
"Isn't there a vending machine?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I'll tell mom tomorrow and just find an open space for them. Don't worry about it." Yang Lina said firmly.
Xu Dong smiled helplessly, but at least the original goal was achieved.
A night of silence.
The next morning, the Coco sisters set out with a bucket of chrysanthemum tea, intending to test the market first.
The triplets could only watch the car leave.
The little guys looked depressed. If the eldest sister and the second sister learned how to make money, they would not be able to buy conches. This was a wake-up call.
"Grandma, I also want conch."
Dabao ran to his grandma to seek comfort.
Xu's mother knelt down and straightened her eldest grandson's collar: "When you save enough money, ask dad to buy you the same conch on the street."
"How long will it take?" Dabao's eyes lit up.
"When you reach first grade, grandma will ask your father to buy it." Xu's mother comforted her.
Dabao nodded with satisfaction, then ran to his brothers with excitement on his face and immediately shared the good news.
…
Time flies by so fast, and it’s October before we know it.
In a few days, the National Day will come again.
With the advent of winter, the chrysanthemum tea business has plummeted. Under the strong request of Xu Ma and Yang Lina, the children have stopped setting up a stall.
We can only wait until next year to fight again!
In the office area of the electric power company and security department.
Ren Li is accepting congratulations from his colleagues because yesterday he and Pei Yingai officially registered their marriage. From today on, he also has a wife.
"Xiao Ren, when will you and Xiao Pei get married?" Xiang Xin asked while holding her daughter.
"She hasn't recovered yet, so we plan to hold a wedding next year." Ren Li looked happy.
Lao Fang echoed: "Next year, you can apply for public rental housing. Only when you have a house can you have a real home."
"I think so too. When my parents come to attend the wedding next year, I can still have a place to live."
"Then will you go back to your hometown this year?"
Sister Feng asked.
Ren Li shook his head: "I won't go back. The round trip is too expensive and the distance is too far. Pei Ying'ai's body may not be able to bear it."
"Look, what I said, Xiao Ren is really a good man, he loves his wife so much." Xiang Xin joked.
"Sister Xiang, stop making fun of me."
Xiang Xin had not yet reached menopause, so for the sake of Ren Li calling her "sister", she let him go decisively, and then opened a new topic:
"The National Day is coming soon, where are you going to play?"
This year's National Day falls on a weekend, giving us a total of three days off. It's such a rare opportunity.
"My wife's due date is within these days. I have to stay with her in the hospital during the National Day and can't go anywhere."
Lao Fang was the first to speak.
Uncle Chen immediately sent his blessing: "Lao Fang, congratulations to you, you will be a father soon. You are thirty years later than me!"
Lao Fang didn't care: "If you have a good meal, don't be afraid of being late!"
"Our whole family is planning to go to the zoo, but the children nowadays are so pitiful that they have never even seen chickens or ducks." Sister Feng lamented.
Xiang Xin looked at Gu Haiyuan: "Lao Gu, where are you?"
Gu Hai had just been discharged from the hospital at the beginning of January. However, after being discharged from the hospital, he became much quieter and rarely saw a smile on his face, as if he had become a completely different person.
"Me? Well, I'll probably stay at home!"
"Our whole family plans to go to Jinmen to see the sea. How about our two families go together?" Xiang Xin invited.
In the past two years, as drought has gradually become the norm in people's lives, anyone who is surrounded by dust every day and rarely sees green will feel extremely irritable.
Depression is everywhere.
Over time, watching the sea became a fashion.
Gu Haiyuan shook his head: "Forget it, next time, I haven't been in the mood lately."
In fact, he was hesitating whether to take the opportunity to go to Jehol to meet Kim Tae-jung one last time, since he would be deported back to the country at the end of the month.
"You should go if you're not in the mood. Take a look at the sea and your worries will disappear." Xiang Xin advised again.
"Let's talk about it!" Gu Haiyuan quickly changed his attention, "Old Chen, what about you? How will you celebrate the National Day?"
"I have to be on duty, have you forgotten?"
Uncle Chen was quite helpless.
Gu Haiyuan patted his head: "What about the section chief, where are you going?"
"I haven't heard of it, Xiang Xin, do you know?"
"I asked yesterday, and the boss said he wanted to sleep at home and not go anywhere." Xiang Xin covered his mouth and laughed.
"Tsk tsk, that's really the section chief's style."
Lao Fang has long been accustomed to this.
Xiang Xin finally looked at Ren Li: "Xiao Ren, how do you two plan to celebrate the National Day?"
"Ying Ai wants to visit Yanjing City. It just so happens that I have been in Yanjing for several months and haven't visited much."
"Then you really should go shopping. You don't have to go anywhere else. You must go to the Summer Palace. I heard that after the National Day, the Summer Palace will begin comprehensive renovations. I don't know how long it will be closed!"
Ren Li nodded: "It seems that we both have good luck."
