After eating, Chen Xin and Zhou Hao walked home with two bottles of fruit vinegar, and told Tongtong that they wanted to live here for a week, so that she would come over to play if she had nothing to do.

"Sister Xin, my mother said that you went to Sister Tongtong's place for dinner, how is she now, is she going to give birth?"

Guo Jian was sitting at the gate of the courtyard drinking porridge, and when he saw Zhou Hao and Chen Xin coming back, he quickly stood up and greeted them.

"Why are you here alone?

"She didn't come over for something at home, so I helped my dad go to the unit today and get some things back. Guo Jian put down the bowl and ran out of it with a piece of stuff, "This is what I found in the utility room in my father's factory, my father can't remember clearly, saying that maybe a master made it earlier, but it was not done, there are flaws here, and then it was put on the scrap side." I took a look, Sister Xin, if you don't mind, I'll help you deal with it, let Sasha embroider a picture in the middle, and directly cut it and embedded it inside, it must be good. But I'm not very good at setting up seats, so I have to ask my father's brother Uncle Lin to do it. ”

It was a semi-finished piece, the wood was well used, and the carving was exquisite, but only the ornamental outline above, and the bracket seat below had to be rematched.

Chen Xin likes the ornament of the fan very much. The fan can be played with alone or placed on a stand as an ornament. The handle of the fan is carved with a vine entwined with branches.

"That's okay, I'm going to Uncle Lin's house tomorrow to play, and Xiaoxiao is going too, so I told her to embroider with this first. ”

His girlfriend Shan Xiao's embroidery craft passed down from the family, graduated from high school and did not continue to go to college, followed her mother and aunt to learn embroidery, and planned to work in a arts and crafts factory in the future.

"You don't plan to open your own store?" Zhou Hao took the handle of the fan and looked at it carefully.

He himself was not interested in this, but his grandmother used to like it very much, and there was not much in the house, so she had the most fans, and later his mother also fell in love with this, and she would inevitably take a fan when wearing a cheongsam. Although there are many cheongsams with sandalwood folding fans, this hand-carved fan also has its own special charm and taste.

November is my mother's birthday, and I want to make one for her. She likes to be plain and delicate, I don't know what kind of color it is, do you look at it?"

"Huh?" Guo Jian picked his head, he had never sold his works, usually gave them to relatives and friends, after all, in his father's opinion, his craft was far from the level of a teacher.

"I think it's okay, you all need materials to do this, and the burden of relying on family support will be very heavy, so it's better for you to pick up some customized small pieces, and the money you earn can also be used to buy some better materials." If you have been practicing with the worst materials, you will not dare to start easily when you get good materials in the future. ”

"That's right. Uncle Guo, who had been standing in the courtyard and listening for a while, came over and opened the door, "I don't know much about this, but your sister Xin is smarter than you, do you know if you want to ask for more advice?"

"Oh!" he smirked, rubbing his head, and stooped under his father's arm into the house.

"This kid. Uncle Guo scolded with a smile, "There is a lot of chaos at home today, so I won't invite you to come in and sit, if you need anything, tell me directly." Now I don't go to work, and I don't know what to do when I have so much time. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Guo smiled bitterly. He can't help it, there are children at home who spend money to study, just like Chen Xin said, learning crafts requires financial support, and you can still use the waste materials in the factory to practice your hands, but now you need to buy them yourself, and good wood is not a joke.

"Does Uncle Guo have any plans to take on some work?" Chen Xin suddenly asked, "I bought a small house, I need to redecorate it, maybe I have to make some doors and windows, I can't be sure of other people's craftsmanship, but Uncle Guo's craftsmanship is needless to say." If you can, Uncle Guo can go and take a look, and then give an estimate of how much it will cost, and whether you want to invite other masters or something. ”

Uncle Guo was stunned for a moment and nodded: "That's okay, it's my old job to make doors and windows, when you go, you can just say it in advance." ”

After talking for a while, Chen Xin took Zhou Hao back to his house.

"When did you buy a house?" Zhou Hao didn't want Chen Xin to disclose her finances, or he was worried that she was comforting Uncle Guo and then going to buy it or something.

"It's not bought, it's supposed to be paid for demolition, it's in the next town. Chen Xin said indifferently, "When I came here to buy a house before, I went on a trip and found a very cheap old yard in the next town. As a result, in the first half of this year, I called to say that the town was being renovated, and the old yard I bought was also in the scope of renovation. Then I was given two options, one was to move to the new city and pay for an elevator apartment, with an area of about 134. There are also two other yards in the local area, which add up to the same size as before. ”

Chen Xin is not stupid, she chose to replace two courtyards locally, one of which is near the river, and the area is not too large. The other is also in the town, but the location is not too good, it is more remote, the problem is that the area is too large, and there are more dilapidated places, not to mention the need to make up money, and some buildings have to be demolished to rebuild.

Chen Xin chose these two sets without saying a word and made up the money. This time, I actually wanted to find a suitable construction team to renovate the old yard, and then turn it into a homestay, and then hire someone to run it or rent it out, all of which are income.

"In the past two years, there have actually been signs, and the tourism economy of the ancient town has developed better and better. Although our area is not large, and the history is not as good as that town, the natural atmosphere here is stronger, so I am willing to gamble. ”

"So you fought so hard last year and in the first half of this year, just to make money?"

"Forget it, the economy has shown signs of taking off in recent years, you can just look at the data on the business side, I estimate that the real estate industry will also rise in two years, and if you don't take this opportunity to save some money, you can only watch people get rich in the future." ”

"In this way, I should also save some money, otherwise wouldn't I become a man who eats soft rice in the future?" Zhou Hao laughed. It's not that he doesn't have any money, his mother doesn't touch the money on his card every month. He has no concept of financial management, and basically loses it to the bank for escrow.

What Chen Xin said is probably the simplest investment, as long as you fancy the size of the location and then give money.

Before, he felt relatively simple in the army, there was no place to use money, and his family did not rely on him to support his family, but if he wanted to change jobs, he had to consider the future expenses of his family. It can be seen that Chen Xin is not a person who likes to treat himself badly, and he is not a person who likes to rely on his wife to support, so open source has become a thing that must be considered.
