Since the opening of my parents' stationery store, business has been getting better and better as students have started school. Fill in the neighborhood there is no dedicated store selling student supplies,

And students are becoming more and more expensive, the children of the post-80s have begun to go to school, there are a lot of only children, parents spend money for their children to spend some of their surprise, some good-looking but no special functions of stationery than the same type of stationery is twice as expensive, but it is expensive to sell better, in fact, the reason is needless to say, think carefully to understand, not young parents pamper the only child, that is, grandparents are also more pampered, the little ones have a bad face, a classmate has a reason, let adults often buy the most expensive, practical stationery。

Small toys are very attractive to boys, and trinkets are also very attractive to girls, and there are comparisons between children, and soon a purchase will bring a large number of purchases, often to buy stationery but buy more unplanned things.

No matter how hard it is for parents, the idea that they can't and don't want to suffer their children is still very common. Parents find that what is good often does not sell enough, and what does not seem to be sold will never be cared for. Most of the profits come from things other than stationery, and there are often people who come to buy small gifts that are not available in the store. Parents also began to add some small categories of goods, and the small store became more and more perfect.

Learning to do business in the process of doing business is the characteristic of this era, and the first private enterprises have slowly developed in this way.

Parents have grown up under the red flag for most of their lives, living in a planned economic society, information is blocked, what the outside world is like, don't say they have seen it, they have never heard of it, they have been taught to live in capitalism since they were children, they are cruelly exploited and oppressed, and they live under the sunshine of communism. In fact, until his brothers and sisters Zhao Hong himself was the same when he was a child, study hard, work hard, and other countries will arrange it. It's only with the development of the country and the experience that I know that it is a beautiful past.

Zhao Hong knows that in the future, the society will gradually turn to the market economy, which is a market economy with characteristics, but it is also a market economy, so it is understandable that later people do not understand.

Sometimes when I go home, I will proudly talk about their harvest, and my family sighs that the times are different, the society and their cognition are very different, and this change is ongoing, accumulating day by day. Life is getting better and better, but I also feel more lack of knowledge, backwardness in information, and backwardness in thinking. In the past few months, the businessmen have made them feel a lot, stimulated a lot, the father's spirit of learning has played a great role, maybe not innovative, but there is no problem to do a good job, the mother is becoming less and less stingy, at least the diet level has been improved, the father often eats meat and drinks a little wine, there are no economic problems, and the family is more and more happy in the busy.

Zhao Hong and Guo Yi's weekend date is also continuing, but Guo Yi is urging Zhao Hong to study more and more, and Guo Yi himself has begun to prepare for further study, often paying attention to turning a good date into a study meeting and a discussion meeting.

During the May Day holiday, it was rare for the whole family to be there and had a simple family meeting. First of all, my father said that the increase in family income has also increased my sister's college living expenses, my brother's salary does not have to be paid to the family, and Zhao Hong's pocket money has also increased.

In addition to expanding the business, with the accumulation of time, the cash in the hands of the parents began to increase again, and they hoped to deposit it in the bank for Zhao Hong's older brothers and sisters to start a family, as well as Zhao Hong's study expenses, and the university also began to charge, it is said that it is still a lot, and the cost of living also needs to increase a lot. My brother and sister are very happy.

Zhao Hong suggested that they should not keep their money in the bank, it is very uneconomical to do so, look at the speed of rising prices in recent years, it is scary to death, even if the bank price subsidy, is the money saved the same as before?

Parents are also thinking carefully, as their children grow up, no one's house is enough, Zhao Hong is not there because there are always people going to college, and he usually doesn't feel it, once the whole family is there, he will immediately feel very crowded and inconvenient.

There is no big reason, the biggest problem for my brothers and sisters and even Zhao Hong to get married and start a family in the future is housing, and it is time to buy a house. This is also the most urgent goal at present, it has been almost a year since my brother graduated from college, instead of urging him to fall in love and go on a blind date, it is better to give him a house to get married to first, and the conditions for my brother to find a partner will be greatly improved.

Zhao Hong also quietly underestimated in his heart, "If you have the opportunity, you should buy more, the house in this era is outrageously cheap, even according to the ratio of housing prices and income, it is also very cost-effective, because there are few outsiders in the city, and most of the units who work are allocated housing, not to mention speculation, and even buy a house is very rare." So the price is absolutely reasonable and a little low. ”

History proves that there is nothing more cost-effective in this era than buying a house. After 30 years, it will increase in value at least 100 times. A thousandfold and a thousand times is not uncommon. Zhao Hong also suddenly found that he felt that he should buy a house of his own. You can treasure some things and items that you don't want or are inconvenient for others to know.

Although Zhao Hong's city is the provincial capital, but the house price is still very low, due to the bad economy, everyone has no money in their hands, tepid, it has risen a lot more than before, and it is only about 200 square meters, or a building, and the bungalow is a set of sales.

Zhao Hong has a chess friend in the courtyard who has intersected for many years and is more than ten years older than his father, since the age of 8 or 9, Zhao Hong and the old man began to interact with chess friends, and it is a good relationship with the old man.

It is said that the experience is also very complicated and bumpy. The old man has almost no hobbies except for his love of chess, and he is very frugal, and can even be said to be stingy.

There have been two marriages, both of which cannot last long, and according to the latter divorced woman, the old man is too stingy. This is true for family members.

Legend has it that Mr. Liu went on a blind date back then, went shopping with the woman and didn't buy anything, no snacks, no tea, and no money for a few hours, but the woman directly refused. This was normal, but then the old man went to the woman's house and took away the gift that his father had given him to his old friend during the visit. said that since it didn't work out, the gift must be taken back. To say that the family was quite wealthy at that time, the old man's father was a college student revolutionary cadre, and the old man's grandfather's family opened a store, and the family was not short of money.

It may be that the father of the college student left home to join the revolution and suffered a lot in that chaotic era, and developed such a habit.

But the old man is also one of the few people in the compound who started business at the earliest, children's food, toys, since retirement for many years, people speculate that the old man has long been tens of thousands of yuan. But the old man still went out every day to do the business of a peddler.

Occasionally, the old man also chatted with Zhao Hong while playing chess. The old man was born as a craftsman, although he later went to work in a state-owned enterprise.

Since the reform and opening up, the old man has rejuvenated the second spring, and his daughter is against it, disgusted and loses face, but the only son is very supportive, saying that the old man can do whatever he wants, as long as he is happy.

Later, Zhao Hong learned that in the silent era, the old man had saved many houses, and they were all façade houses. When you are old, you are also very wealthy, not a dead person who saves money. Unlike most workers in this era, the wages are basically spent, and if they are not spent, they will be saved together at the end of the year.

Instead, he quietly saved money to buy a house. I chatted with the old man later. The old man said something that Zhao Hong will never forget.

"Accumulate gold in troubled times, and save assets in prosperous times. Assets used to be about land, and without land, you would save a façade house. ”

There is an old family like a treasure!

Zhao Hong's first thought of buying a house in his life was to consult the old man. Although aware of the development trend of the city. Know where the house has the most room to appreciate in the future. But the specific copy is a blind eye. Don't know what to do best.

The old man was stunned when he heard it, but then he began to talk about some channels for finding a house and buying a house, there is no real estate agency at present, and he can only inquire around, mainly two kinds of people are selling houses, one is that the former overseas relatives have found it, and the whole family is leaving; Commercial housing is not yet available in this city, so it is important to inquire about the news.

The old man also promised to inquire and pay attention when he went out to do the business of merchants. I'll talk about it when I have news. As for the old man himself quietly buying a house by himself, he didn't say anything, and if it weren't for Zhao Hong's parents who had made money by opening a store in the past year, he wouldn't even say this, thinking that Zhao Hong had inquired about his parents.

Less than a month later, the old man asked Zhao Hong to go to him to play chess, and Zhao Hong knew that there was news. After talking to my parents, I passed after dark, and brought a bag of good tea from my brother from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the old man.

The old man looked at the tea brought by Zhao Hong and did not speak, but there was a smile on his face. It doesn't matter how much something is, what matters is respect for him. The old man actually understands that everyone is talking about him, but no one will understand how difficult it is to survive in that chaotic era of war. And as long as the habit is formed, it is not easy to change. Just live your life. Let him be. The stubborn old man who admits death is very free, and he has brought up a son and a daughter by himself, and he is used to hard work. When the child is older, he can live for himself.

The old man found two houses, one is in the city center, but there is only a bungalow of less than 30 square meters, which is a policy return, but because of poor conditions and a bit of chaos, he went to buy a unit building. It's next to a side street with the road just outside the back wall. The asking price is not high, only 5,000 yuan.

The other is a few years ago the urban village to rebuild the house, because there are children who graduated from college and went to work in the sea market, hoping to sell this house to the child to raise money to sell another set in the sea market, the building is a bit big, about 80 square meters to ask for 15,000 yuan, a bit high, but the decoration is good.

After understanding the situation, Zhao Hong wanted to buy the bungalow, and the family's money was estimated to be able to buy the building, but he didn't know if the money was enough.

thanked him, and told the old man that he bought the small one himself, and went home to discuss it with his family. I don't think it's a big problem.
