Chapter XVII Decisions
Yu Ximei didn't speak, Yu Ximei might say a few words in other small things, but in this kind of big thing, it has always been Du Sicheng who decides.
Now that the other man in the family has grown up, the communication between the two men, Yu Ximei will not interject and say anything.
"Dad, I'll build yƬ, you might as well sell the repair shop."
In fact, this is also the answer that Du Chen has been thinking about for a long time.
"Oh? Tell me why? ā
Du Sicheng stopped Yu Ximei from wanting to speak with his eyes, turned over slightly, and listened carefully to Du Chen's story.
"First of all, Dad, you just said that since this year, a lot of repair shops have been opened. Let's not forget, what has been the situation in the past two years. ā
In 2002, SARS invaded the entire land of China, from the south to the north of China, taking the lives of countless patients and angels in white. This is also the biggest disaster since the founding of New China.
"You think, in this case, there are still a lot of repair shops. If this is over, how much do you think it will happen? ā
Until now, Du Chen still remembers the disaster vividly.
Although Dongshan Province was not one of the provinces with a large number of infected people, everyone was in a state of panic at that time. Schools are closed for a week, masks must be worn to school on the streets, and the first thing everyone does in the morning is to take their temperature.
Even the college entrance examination that year was almost canceled.
I heard that vinegar can be sterilized, and the vinegar in the hands of various vendors has reached the point where there is no stock at all. Put a bag of vinegar on the heating in the winter, and put a bucket of hot water in the classroom in the summer, and put vinegar in the hot water.
And this year, it is a year when China's economy is almost stagnant, as long as there is a person with a body temperature exceeding normal body temperature, then you must first go to the hospital for examination and isolation, and you can only come out when you are fine.
In this social environment, there are still so many enterprises that have broken ground, and the competitive pressure after stabilizing can also be imagined.
Du Sicheng nodded, although he is a party member, he is only a worker who has worked all his life, and he is really inferior to Du Chen in terms of knowledge.
Du Chen picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently, and the spicy alcohol flowed down his throat into his stomach, making Du Chen feel excited.
"I think it's better to sell it now while someone buys it. I'm just talking about a very simple experience, and you should be able to find out about it. Now we have to go to the market to buy food, buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, etc., not to mention the distance, and it also delays time. ā
"What if we open a larger supermarket? The decoration is a little better, usually clean, the price is a little cheaper, don't the people in the neighborhood come to us? ā
In Fengcheng City in 2003, daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea had to be bought in the corresponding market.
"Supermarket? What does supermarket mean? ā
Du Sicheng and Yu Ximei didn't understand the meaning of supermarkets at all, and in their consciousness, there was no concept or understanding of supermarkets at all.
"A supermarket is actually a supermarket, a form of store abroad. We can sell some fruits and vegetables, daily necessities and the like. You can also sell some snacks, children's stuff. ā
Du Chen hurriedly explained the meaning of the supermarket, in later generations, supermarkets can be said to be everywhere, but now, supermarkets are still an undeveloped form.
"Will this supermarket work?"
Yu Ximei was a little vague, although Du Chen was right, every time she went to buy groceries and daily necessities, she had to ride a bicycle for a long distance, and every time she brought the vegetables back, she was tired.
"Okay, why not. Think about it, you sell cheap here, and it's close to home, why should people go to a place far away from you and it's expensive? ā
Du Sicheng nodded, and he agreed with Du Chen's explanation. To be honest, Du Sicheng also has a certain vision, otherwise he would not have been laid off and would have opened a repair shop by himself.
"Good! That's it! In the past few days, I have asked the buyer of the repair shop to come out and discuss whether I can give more money. Then Chenchen, you and your mother go out to have a look these days, see where the environment is better, and we will act if you look at the store room! ā
Du Sicheng is not a forward-looking person, he actually has the idea of selling the repair shop in his heart, this time Du Chen proposed this construction to himself, it is absolutely feasible to think about it carefully, if he does it well, he will definitely earn more than his own repair shop!
"Come son, let's have a drink! It's really not in vain for you to study, you know more than you! ā
Under the excitement, Du Sicheng, who is usually gentle and elegant, also began to shout "Lao Tzu Lao Tzu", Yu Ximei glanced at Du Sicheng, obviously dissatisfied with Du Sicheng's foul language.
And Du Chen smiled knowingly, this kind of atmosphere is very common in his family. Although his family is not an intellectual family, his father also graduated from high school, but his family was poor and could not afford him to go to college.
Du Chen is very glad that his grandfather's family is relatively poor, if his father went to college, maybe he would not have met his mother in the factory, if he hadn't met his mother, maybe he wouldn't have appeared at all now.
He picked up his glass, clinked glasses with his father, and took a sip.
Maybe Du Chen's idea is particularly good, Du Sicheng at the dinner table does not have the usual habit of "eating without saying a word", but pulls Du Chen to talk about how good he was back then.
And Yu Ximei, who was next to her, was specifically responsible for dismantling the stage, as long as Du Sicheng's words began to be out of bounds, Yu Ximei immediately appeared to say the truth, and degraded Du Sicheng to worthless.
At this time, Du Sicheng never refuted Yu Ximei, and when he heard this, Du Chen also laughed. There are even some things that Du Chen never heard his father talk about in his previous life.
For example, in junior high school, I peeked at my homeroom teacher, and I went out to take a bath in the summer and met the class flower.
It's just that how many years have passed, and these embarrassing things have become a joke now, every time she talks about this, Yu Ximei also smiles at the corners of her mouth, and quietly looks at Du Sicheng (pretending to be better?). ļ¼ć
Maybe that's what a family really qualifies in! No matter who grows up in this relaxed and uninhibiting environment, the person's psychological state is different.
And Du Chen is very fortunate to be such a lucky person.
