Chapter 5 Persuasion
Fang Mingyuan's immature voice was not loud in the small courtyard, but it sounded like thunder in the hearts of the two old men Fang. Grandma hugged Fang Mingyuan in her arms, and tears were already turning in her eyes. "This child, how filial he is. At a young age, how do you know that you have to earn money for your grandparents to support the elderly! Old man, the two of us didn't hurt him in vain! Isn't it? Old Man Fang couldn't help but have a sour nose, he didn't expect that his grandson would give such an answer that made his heart warm to the extreme.
"Have you thought about it, what kind of business are you going to do?" Old Man Fang's voice was also a little strange, although he was trying his best to keep himself in a normal tone.
"The teacher said that the people take food as the sky! Hunger is the hardest thing to eat! I think the steamed buns made by my grandmother are so delicious, as long as I teach my uncle him, and my uncle will go out to sell a cart, he will definitely be able to make money! Grandpa, you see that every morning, there are a lot of people at the roadside breakfast stalls, and I have to wait for half a day to buy a bowl of tofu brain. Fang Mingyuan vomited in his heart, he was thirty years old, but he had to speak in the tone of a six- or seven-year-old child, don't mention this awkwardness.
Old Man Fang's heart moved, although it was said that the old man's family ate three meals a day at home, but Fang Sheng's family was because Fang Sheng and his wife sometimes worked three shifts, and Fang Mingyuan could only go out for breakfast sometimes, which should be true. For his wife's craftsmanship, Mr. Fang is very confident, who doesn't know the skill of the Fang family's grandmother, although she can't make buns a few times a year, but the taste is not to mention, you want to eat a meal and want to eat. In this way, this is not a bad way to make money. And my wife is only in her early fifties this year, and she hasn't worked much, so she can't get tired of doing a small business.
"Then what is Weishenme going to do with Uncle Uncle?" Old Man Fang then asked.
"Just the uncle, aren't the grandparents worried about his work? And my father and aunt both have jobs, and my grandparents are old again, who will do it if my uncle doesn't do it? I want my uncle to earn money to help my grandparents, but I don't want my grandparents to earn money to support my uncle! Fang Mingyuan pretended not to understand, and asked with an innocent look, "I can help sell steamed buns, but I can't make steamed buns!" Old Man Fang and the others couldn't help laughing-this little guy really dared to say that there was a six-year-old child going out to sell steamed buns.
"Old man, what do you think of Xiaoyuan's idea?" Grandma was a little impressed. When she was young, because she had many children and many things at home, she was so busy that she hit the back of her head all day long. Now that the children are all older, they are all working, the old man has also retired, and there is only one grandson, Fang Mingyuan, who is still like a little adult, and he doesn't have to worry about adults, grandma feels that this day is so idle that her hands and feet are itchy. So when he heard Fang Mingyuan propose to do business, he could have something to do again, so he had some activities in his heart.
Old Man Fang was a little hesitant to let his wife make a food stall, which is nothing, anyway, he is idle at home, he can also help, and these children in the family can also help, but let his youngest son Fang Bin do this, he can't help but feel a little uncertain. After all, it is only the early stage of reform and opening up, and everyone still attaches great importance to eating public meals and latte rice bowls. Now that they are looking for their own way out, most of the self-employed people have come out of prison, and this has spread out, which will inevitably damage the face of the old Fang family. "It's nothing to be a food stall, and you can also give some subsidies to your family, but let Fang Bin go, okay?"
"Grandpa, Uncle doesn't have a job now, and you can't find him a job right away, can't he do something bad? Don't uncles and aunts often say, riding a donkey to find a horse? Fang Mingyuan broke out of his grandmother's arms, took Old Man Fang's hand and said, "If there is a suitable one, it's not too late to let Uncle go to work?" Fang Mingyuan had already made up his mind, at this time, it was obviously unrealistic to want his parents to go to the sea, and they who were used to holding iron rice bowls would not agree to anything before they saw the reality clearly and were desperate. And he intends to go to the sea, and there is no start-up capital at home at present, he has countless ideas in his heart to make money, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, not to mention that he is only a six-year-old child. But God gave him a chance, and the uncle has now become a jobless vagrant, just taking advantage of the time when everyone is still waiting and hesitating, to seize the market and earn the first pot of gold. By the time everyone realizes that they can make money by going to the sea, it's too late!
As long as the uncle works at this food stall, Fang Mingyuan is not afraid that he will still look at the dead wages in the factory at that time. As long as you get on your own boat, don't think about jumping off again. And this is also a life-changing event for the uncle. Fang Mingyuan remembers very well that his uncle's job was very unstable later, and when his parents moved to Yanjing, he didn't have an exact whereabouts, and he was always doing odd jobs.
"Riding a donkey looking for a horse?" Grandma's eyes lit up, and she said with joy, "Old man, listen, Xiao Yuan'er said how good, ride a donkey to find a horse, first find an errand for that bastard boy to do, don't care about earning more or less, at least he won't go to the town to wander around, and he won't have to mess around with those gangsters all day long!" If you have the right opportunity in the future, you can find a way to put him in the factory, and you will be successful. Old Man Fang looked at Fang Mingyuan, his eyes were simply shining, this little grandson of his is really not an ordinary person, if his eldest son said this, he would not be surprised at all, but a six-year-old child can think of this, it will be very different.
"Yes, grandpa!" Fang Mingyuan decided to give Old Man Fang some more ruthless information, Uncle is an indispensable person in his Jihua, so he has to make it happen this time. "The teacher told us a story about not putting all your eggs in one basket, so that if there is an accident, it will not all be broken. You see that my father and aunt all went to work in the factory, if the factory can't pay wages in the future, how can it be good? If Uncle can do this, our family will have a way out by then. ”
Old Man Fang opened his mouth in surprise, although he didn't think that such a big factory would one day not be able to make money, but the fact that a small child could have the insight to leave a way back for himself was completely stunned.
