Chapter 3 Happiness

The year is tossing and turning, and it is gradually entering the New Year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Bei returned to his home where he hadn't been back for most of the year.

Gu's mother is at home, she hasn't seen her for a long time and hasn't changed much, when Gu Bei entered the door, she took Gu Bei's bag and touched Gu Bei's head again, with the doting of an ordinary mother in her eyes: "Silly boy, you've lost weight, isn't Qingchuan's food to taste?"

Gu Bei changed his slippers: "How is it possible, Qingchuan's food is good." ”

Gu's mother said, "Then why did you lose weight?"

Gu Bei smiled and said, "Think about what you think." ”

"Stinky boy, your mouth is so sweet. Gu's mother rubbed Gu Bei's head, and her heart was happy: "Is there such a coaxing of female classmates in school?"

Gu Beidao: "Of course, I have to try to let you hold your grandson as soon as possible." ”

Gu's mother came to the task: "Tell my mother, who is that female classmate? Cai Wei is right? My mother likes her very much, she is well-behaved and good-looking." You've got to have a snack!"

Gu Bei laughed: "Mom, I haven't eaten for a day, I'm hungry, let's talk about this kind of children's private affairs." ”

"That's what you said, go back and talk to your mother after dinner. ”

Gu's mother nagged in her mouth, put on a scarf and went into the kitchen to cook lunch with her father, Gu Bei, who had nothing to do, stood at the door, looking at the two most important people in his life in the kitchen, his mother chopping vegetables and peeling onions, and his father stir-fried in front of the stove to make his favorite black goat hot pot.

Life is the happiest, probably so.

Gu Bei thought so, said hello to his mother and went downstairs to buy drinks, and when he walked to the side of the road, he felt that someone was following him behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw a young man in black standing in the corner of the wall, it was Zhao Tuo, a thief he met on the train.

Gu Bei laughed, took out his ID card from his pocket and threw it to Zhao Tuo: "Young man, you are still young, it's better not to do the thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs." ”

Zhao Tuo glanced up at Gu Bei, his eyes were particularly bright: "Why didn't you call the police to arrest me?"

"Don't be funny, I don't have that energy. Gu Bei shook his head: "It's the New Year soon, go home early, don't let your family worry." With that, he turned around and went to the grocery store near the neighborhood.

After buying a drink and going home, the black goat hot pot was ready to be served, the hall was filled with a rich fragrance, Gu Bei set up the dishes and chopsticks and ate around the hot pot with his parents, and he filled his father and himself with a cup of sorghum wine brewed in Sanquankou Village, his hometown. Now that he is studying abroad, he rarely has the opportunity to drink with his father, but Gu Bei cherishes such an opportunity, because no matter how many fox friends and dog friends eat and drink spicy food, it is not as good as the time to chat with his father at home and drink wine.

When he was halfway through the wine, Gu Bei asked casually, "Mom, are you okay with your work?"

Gu's mother sandwiched the mutton's trotters and stuffed them into Gu Bei's bowl: "What's the matter, that's it." ”

"How did I hear that our cigarette factory will be reorganized and reformed next year, and there will be a large number of employees in our cigarette factory to be laid off at that time?" Gu Bei said that the reorganization and reform is actually light, in fact, it was merged by the Guirong Cigarette Factory, one of China's eight major cigarette bases, and almost became a small cigarette collection base of the Guirong Cigarette Factory, so it is inevitable that a large number of employees will be forcibly dismissed by buying out their seniority, and his mother is also among them.

Of course, only Gu Bei and the leaders of the cigarette factory know that it is impossible for ordinary employees like my mother to get this kind of inside information in advance, otherwise it will cause panic among the employees, so Gu's mother just heard a little rumor that the cigarette factory was going to be reformed, and she didn't take it to heart: "You just came back today from studying outside, where did you get the news, our cigarette factory is going to be rectified, but I didn't say that we want to dismiss employees." ”

Gu Beidao: "That being said, when I think I still have to be mentally prepared in advance, think about whether I can do something else, if I am really laid off at that time, there is also a way out; ”

"That's what you say, but your mother is illiterate, what can you do, go to the street to set up a stall?"

Gu's mother felt that her son was a little unrealistic, she had been working in a tobacco factory for half her life, dealing with tobacco for half her life, and always thought that she would work in a tobacco factory until she retired, and then received a meager pension for the rest of her life, and never had the idea of finding another way out.

This limitation is due to a lack of environment and vision.

Gu's mother doesn't read much, in addition to going to work, she has to work for housework, and the family is burdened with huge debts, every night and every day is worried about money, because the creditor will come to the door that day to force the debt and worry about being afraid, over time, Gu's mother learned to endure life with repression, but never thought of changing this life; Gu's mother can break a dollar in half to spend, but never think of using one piece to earn two yuan. This led to Gu's mother being dismissed from the cigarette factory and making a living by setting up a stall in the clothing market.

Gu Bei deeply understands his mother's hardship, and as a son, he needs to be patiently persuasive.

He proposed the following three entrepreneurial directions to his parents:

1. Open an Internet café.

2. Open a store.

3. Be an old bank and engage in real estate contract foremanship.

These three entrepreneurial directions are relatively promising in the next few years, not to mention Internet cafes and specialty stores, as for real estate, as long as there is a way, making a lot of money is not a problem, but Gu Bei does not want his father to return to his old business, because he is too tired, choose an entrepreneurial project that is easy to thank, do not need to make too much money, so that parents can reflect their own value and find a sense of accomplishment, so Internet cafes and specialty stores are more suitable.

Regarding Gu Bei's suggestion, Gu's father did not express his position, and Gu's mother only felt that Gu Bei was unreliable to discuss entrepreneurship with her seriously.

My son is older and capable, he became the editor-in-chief at a young age, earns money to go to school and start a business, and sends money home from time to time. The neighbors were very envious, and often gave her a thumbs up in front of her, saying that she had raised a good son and would have a great future in the future! At this time, the happiness on her face could not be concealed.

My son is a capable person.

Thinking like this, Gu's mother felt that all these years of hardship and tiredness were nothing, since her husband failed to engage in real estate, she felt that life was very depressed and hopeless, and her son gave her hope.

In the matter of resigning and starting a business, Gu's mother did not agree with Gu Bei's idea, she was old and couldn't afford the risk, and the tragic lesson of her husband's real estate last time made her feel palpitated, but her son was planning for this family after all, so Gu's mother said seriously: "Silly boy, your idea is good, but you know what the situation of our family is, don't say anything else, even if you open Internet cafes and specialty stores, where will we get the start-up capital?"

Gu Bei laughed, took out a bank card and put it on the table: "Mom, give you a New Year's gift." ”

Gu's mother was stunned: "Silly boy, you have learned to give me gifts, how much money is in it?"

Gu Bei said: "500,000." ”
