Since Wang Jian settled in Jiangcheng and found a job, he naturally wanted his mother to come to Jiangcheng, and the two mothers "shared blessings and difficulties" from then on, and they would never be separated in this life.

Zeng Yu really missed his son, and after feeling that it was boring to stay in his hometown, he resolutely closed the "Jianjian Bun Shop" that had been open for six years, with luggage, thousands of yuan, and unpaid debts of fifty or sixty thousand yuan, as well as the remains of his "dead ghost father", came to Jiangcheng to join Wang Jian.

My mother is almost fifty years old, and her diploma only has a junior Chinese certificate, so it is impossible to be an office worker like him, and no one invites her, so after arriving in Jiangcheng, she naturally has to do her old business and open the familiar "Jianjian Bun Shop".

The two mothers searched around near the company where Wang Jian worked, and finally rented a two-bedroom house in an old community called "Changjiang Village", about half an hour away from his commute.

Although this Yangtze River Village is very dilapidated, it is not far from the nearby bustling Shanghai City, Nanping Pedestrian Street opposite Shanghai City, and Qianda Plaza. In the other direction, it is adjacent to the convention and exhibition center. Wang Jian accompanied his mother around, but he didn't feel anything, but Jian's mother was quite satisfied, and immediately made a decision and rented a two-bedroom apartment on the first floor at a "high" rent of 121 months.

Less than a week after the house was rented, Zeng Yu's "Jianjian Bun Shop" reopened.

Because she couldn't figure out the situation and was afraid of the urban management in the big city, Jian's mother only dared to interview for water in the community at first, or more precisely, just set up a stall at her own door.

Later, after the ground was hot and the surrounding environment was also clarified by Jian's mother, Jianmu's "Jianjian Bun Shop" moved from her own door to the entrance of the community.

Because she has six years of "practical experience" in her hometown, and Jian's mother is not the kind of black-hearted businessman who ignores her conscience for money, she has sold steamed buns for six years, and has never used gutter oil, rat meat, and flour of poor quality.

Of course, although Jian's mother used the real materials that she and her son ate every day, it was impossible to buy any seventy or eighty yuan a barrel of "Arowana" plant blended oil, what kind of lean meat, and what kind of special flour. Oil, meat, vegetables, flour, and other materials are all discounted and cheap goods bought by Jian's mother at the farmers' market at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

Jianmu is kind, but she is not a fool, and she still has to reduce costs when it is time to reduce them.

Because it was just selling breakfast, the time was only one or two hours, although the business was good, and Jian's mother tried her best to keep the cost down, but after a busy day, in addition to doing dry and clean, she couldn't make two dollars, probably only seventy or eighty yuan.

Therefore, in addition to selling steamed buns, Jian's mother saw that there was a convention and exhibition center near the community, and there were many people selling boxed lunches at the back door of the convention and exhibition center, so she started the idea of selling boxed lunches again.

Of course, because the convention and exhibition center does not have exhibitions every day, Jianmu's lunch business can only sell for two or three days a week at most, three or four days.

The profit of the lunch box is higher, and if you are lucky, it is possible to earn three or four hundred a day.

But bad luck, no one eats, and it's not impossible to fold the book.

Because Jian's mother's lunch box is made in advance, it is pushed to the back door of the convention and exhibition center with a cart to sell, if it cannot be sold on the same day, the rest, except for the two mothers who "die and eat rotten" at night, can only be poured into the trash can.

This is especially true in the summer. Meals at noon in the summer may not wait until the next day, and may turn bad that night.

Therefore, on average, selling boxed lunches can currently bring about 2,000 yuan of income to Jian's mother every month. Coupled with selling early, Jianmu can now earn four to five thousand yuan a month.

This figure is much higher than in the small county town of his hometown, and it is higher than Wang Jian's salary now. Because Wang Jian now only has a dead salary of 3,500 a month, and because his son is now just a merchandiser and has no business, he has no commission to get.

However, although he earns more than his hometown, Jiangcheng's consumption is also "scared to death", and it costs more than a dozen yuan to eat a bowl of noodles.

And the hometown only costs five or six yuan.

Therefore, although the current income is much higher than when he was in his hometown, Zeng Yu still feels that the money is not enough, especially when he thinks that his son will buy a house in Jiangcheng and settle down in the future, and the housing price in Jiangcheng is almost 10,000 square meters for the broken house without an elevator that their mother is renting now. As for the better elevator apartment, unless you go to a very remote place to buy, it is generally more than 10,000 or 20,000.

As soon as he thought of the house, Zeng Yu was worried and couldn't sleep at night, but there was no other way except for the usual careful calculations and the two mothers' efforts to save money.

After staying in Jiangcheng for half a year, she already knew that if she wanted to settle down in Jiangcheng, a house was necessary, otherwise, with her son's current conditions, she would not be able to find her mother-in-law at all! In the community, she also knew a few old women, and when she was fine, she often chatted with these old women, asking them if there were any unmarried female dolls to be married around, and if so, they could have a blind date with her family.

Of course, the old ladies know a lot of "unmarried" female dolls, and I heard that Jian's mother wants to introduce her son to each other, and she is also willing, but almost everyone has to ask her family in advance if she has bought a house or a car.

Jian's mother smiled and said that she was watching.

The old ladies are also human spirits, and when they saw the expression of Jian's mother, they knew that the new neighbor who moved over a few months ago was still renting a house from all over the world, so they shook their heads one by one, saying that in this era, there is no house and car, and it is impossible to find a mother-in-law, and the blind date is also in vain, wasting her money in vain. The old ladies asked Jian Ma to buy a house and a car for the car first, and then they came to be the matchmaker.

This is the current living situation of Wang Jian and his mother Zeng Yu.

———————

When Wang Jian was tired and sweaty and helped his mother knead the dough, arrange it into strips, and cut it, it was already half past seven, and it was almost time for him to go to work.

So, Wang Jian washed his hands, ate pickles, and quickly drank three bowls of lukewarm porridge (he usually only drinks one bowl, but today he didn't know why he felt particularly hungry so he drank two more bowls), and took two more sauce meat buns that his mother left for him yesterday and steamed hot for him with a steamer just now, stepped on a canvas bag, and said to his mother, "Mom, I went to work", and then went out and went to work.

Employees of Yingxiang Group can take free transportation buses to work, and the parking spot in Nanping is at the Changjiang Village Station, which is 100 meters away from the community where he now lives, which is just convenient for Wang Jian to commute to work every day.

As usual, when Wang Jian took the company's bus to Caoxi Industrial Park, where the Eagle Xiang Group is located, more than ten kilometers away, the time was exactly a quarter past eight o'clock.

Yingxiang Group is going to work at half past eight, and it is still a little early, in order to save a few yuan in fare, Wang Jian is the first to come to work as usual.

Now that cars are commonplace, most of my colleagues in the company have bought them.

For people who have a car, they naturally don't need to be in a hurry like Wang Jian, not late, or not often late. Wang Jian's department is the "export division" of Yingxiang Group, which is a foreigner with a time difference, and does not need to go to work on time like a front-line factory worker.

Therefore, those colleagues who have a car will basically be stuck at the time of nine o'clock.

Only, except for one person, his colleague Leaf Green.

Despite having a car, Leaf Green is never late for work.

Not only are they not late, but they are often early.

If Wang Jian is thunderous, in his department, he is the first to come to the company every day, and Ye Lu is the second!

On this day, less than five minutes after Wang Jian arrived at the company, he was dusting off the desk with a feather duster, and Ye Lu came.

"Morning, Brother Jian!" Ye Lu smiled sweetly, greeted Wang Jian gently, and prepared to go to his desk next to Wang Jian. The desks of both of them are located closest to the front hallway, side by side, with only a glass partition in between, so they can be said to be both colleagues and neighbors.

"Morning, Green. Wang Jian also responded with a smile.

The little beauty Ye Lu's active question every day is one of the two things that Wang Jian looks forward to at work every day.

The other thing is naturally to wait for the time when you get off work and eat at noon.

However, at this moment, Ye Lu, who had already walked to his desk, suddenly retreated, walked straight to Wang Jian, stared at Wang Jian's face with wide eyes, and exclaimed with an incredible expression:

"Ah, Brother Jian, you ...... Your face...... The pimples on your face have disappeared a lot. You...... Did you use any miracle acne cream?"
