Chapter 43 Wei Yang’s family, relatives and friends
After a day's journey, Wei Yang was tired. After dinner and a conversation with his parents, he went back to the bedroom to rest.
Early the next morning, Wei Yang woke up and looked at the old posters of Manchester United's Beckham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hanging on the wall, as well as the familiar layout and facilities of the room, and felt indescribably at ease.
This might be the feeling of going home!
After putting on his clothes, Wei Yang walked out of the bedroom. There was no one in the living room upstairs, but there was some noise downstairs. He knew that his parents were open for business.
Wei Yang's home is neither a community nor a rural area, but a street storefront in a town.
There are two floors up and down + a courtyard. People live upstairs, and a shop is opened downstairs. The courtyard can be used as needed.
Wei Yang's family is in the curtain business, which includes hand-made customization and installation of curtains, sofa covers, bed sheets and quilt covers.
In the past two years, dry cleaning services have been added, mainly for curtains, sofa covers, and quilt covers, but we can also do dry cleaning of clothes if appropriate.
The curtain business is easy or difficult to do, and the profit margin is good. Most people these days do not have such high quality requirements. A few popular fabric types and curtain styles can satisfy most customers.
The key to business is the customer base. If you have more customers in the peak season, you will make more money. In the off-season, if the customer base is less, it often happens that you are not open for several days.
To put it bluntly, it is also a business of relying on the weather to make ends meet.
In just a few words, the landlady made him smile. She even went to the store to bring him pistachios and melon seeds bought for the Chinese New Year.
However, when Wei Yang was very young, the couple did not want to farm, so they came to do business on the street. Wei Yang lived with his grandparents in the village for several years.
Wang Yunping and Wei Shan knew that they were not smart enough, and their knowledge and abilities were not as good as their elder sister's/eldest aunt, so they liked to look to Wei Xia for advice on everything in the family.
Therefore, Wang Yunping respects her eldest sister very much. She is not jealous when her son buys things for Wei Xia, and she insists on making her son listen to Wei Xia's words.
The proprietress of the children's clothing store said "Sister Wang is blessed", but the smile on her face was so forced and her eyes were so angry that Wei Yang was afraid that she would suddenly scratch his mother.
"Sister is here."
I rarely go back to that old house in the countryside except for cleaning during holidays.
"Mom, hey, Aunt Sun, happy New Year."
Relying on this small shop, although Wei Yang's family is not rich, they are still relatively well-off and have no worries about food and clothing.
"Good boy, my aunt's love for you has not been in vain."
Wei Yang said hello happily. The visitor was Wei Yang's aunt Wei Xia.
After being happy for a while, Wei Xia began to educate Wei Yang, and Wang Yunping also belatedly agreed with Wei Xia.
In the past two years, the Weishan couple started dry cleaning services. In fact, they wanted to open up a new line of regular income, increase popularity, and tap potential customers.
Wei Xia also asked many questions about Wei Yang, and even complained about her younger brother.
Wang Yunping went to cook, and Wei Yang chatted with the proprietress of the children's clothing store.
"Go and have a look, your eldest nephew has bought you a lot of good things."
The two sisters went upstairs excitedly, and Wei Yang had no choice but to ask the proprietress of the children's clothing store to help look after the store, while he went to the kitchen to continue making breakfast.
"okay."
"Aunt."
"Yes, I'll get it for you. Your dad has gone back to the village to post Spring Festival couplets. You can look after the shop here. If anyone comes, call me."
"happy New Year."
"My eldest nephew is handsome again."
Wei Yang was actually born in a rural area, and his family still had an old house in the countryside. When Wei Shan and his wife first got married, they lived in the village with Wei Yang's grandparents.
The proprietress of the children's clothing store smiled more sincerely at Wei Yang: "I watched your TV series. It was really good. I will be a big star in the future."
At least in Wei Yang's heart, Wei Xia's aunt has always been on the same level as his parents...
Wei Xia is smart and strong, decisive and smooth in doing things. She is the master of the Wu family and more than half of the Wei family.
When he started eating in the store with a bowl of noodles, Wei Xia, who had changed into new clothes and put on a gold necklace, came downstairs happily, hugged Wei Yang and played with her.
In this day and age, with an annual income of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in a small city like Zaoshi, life is not so comfortable. The couple bought a house in the city a few years ago, and their two children are pampered.
Wei Xia had a hard life. A few years after her marriage, her husband had an accident and she became a widow. She returned to her parents' home alone. At that time, Wei Yang was living with her grandparents.
"Yangyang, listen to your aunt."
Wei Yang, who was a little hungry, checked the time, opened the door and went downstairs to have something to eat.
"My son bought this, it's several dozen grams. Hey, I don't want it. My child is filial and must buy it."
She opened a restaurant by herself, and her husband, Wu Jun, partnered with others to own a big car. The couple earned 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year.
"I know you are filial, but it is not easy for you to make some money, so don't be lavish. In the future, you will buy less of these things. If you have money, save it and buy a house in Shanghai later."
So instead of saying that Wei Yang was raised by his grandparents, it is better to say that he was raised by his aunt Wei Xia.
Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei have a daughter and a son. Wei Xia is the eldest daughter, a few years older than Wei Yang's father, Wei Shan.
Later, his grandparents passed away, and it was inconvenient for Wei Yang to go to school, so their family completely moved to the street and their household registration was also transferred.
Wei Yang said modestly, but when he saw that his mother was going to continue typing, he quickly changed the topic: "Mom, I'm hungry. Is there food at home?"
"What kind of star is this? You just have to make a living."
"Your dad, I don't know, just called me today, otherwise I would have come here long ago."
He is not like Wang Yunping who only cares about showing off. He likes to praise people when talking, praises people for their youth, and says that their sons who are in high school will be promising in the future.
"Yangyang also bought these clothes in Magic City. His father and I each wore one. Old Wei couldn't bear to wear it. He said he would only wear it during the New Year. I don't care about this. I will let my son buy it when it is worn out."
When Wei Yangyi was admitted to the theater, it was actually Wei Xia who helped inquire about the arrangements. Wang Yunping and his wife didn't even know where they were admitted to the theater.
"..."
As soon as he entered the store from the courtyard, Wei Yang saw Wang Yunping wearing new clothes, holding up a gold bracelet on her wrist, proudly showing off to the proprietress of the children's clothing store next door.
The area of his store is not large, only about 60 square meters on a single floor. There are three rooms upstairs, one large and two small, which are the living room and two bedrooms.
"I won't go. I heard that the food in Magic City is too sweet and I can't get used to it."
Wang Yunping heard the commotion, came over to check, and then immediately pulled Wei Xia upstairs.
Later, Wei Xia got married for the second time and settled down in the city. Wei Yang went to high school in the city and lived and ate at Wei Xia's house for the whole three years. He was called aunt and nephew, but he was no different from his mother-in-law.
While they were chatting happily, a woman with a delicate appearance and shrewd eyes rode an electric bicycle to the door of the store and rushed in. Wei Yang was happy when she saw her.
"Don't worry about them. They don't need anything."
"Don't worry, I've left the money. You don't have to worry. Just wait for me to buy a big house in Shanghai and take it over for retirement."
It's not that Wei Xia treats her children harshly, the conditions in her family are much better than those in Wei Yang's family.
"I also bought clothes and tea for my uncle. My brother and sister didn't buy any. I don't know what they like. I took them to the city later."
Several small bungalows were built in the yard downstairs, which were used as kitchens, bathrooms, and toilets. Sometimes we ate in the living room upstairs, and sometimes we set up a table directly in the shop or in the yard.
"It's true, I can't even understand what people in the magic city are saying."
Wei Xia and Wang Yunping said they were disgusted, but they couldn't stop smiling when they heard the filial piety pie painted by their nephew/son.
The proprietress of the children's clothing store next to her also looked envious.
No matter whether it can be realized or not, when parents and elders hear this and know that their children have this intention, they will be very happy...
