Chapter Seventy-Three: Improving the Second Uncle's Family
An hour later, Yan's mother took Yan Guoping back to the bookstore, and there was no special expression on their faces. Yan Jing didn't ask the result at this time, and went upstairs to help.
When she went back in the evening, Yan's mother called Yan Jing and Yan's father to go to the room and told them the results of his talk with Yan Guoping this afternoon. Because this matter was originally brought up by Yan Jing, Yan's mother also called her daughter.
Yan's mother said to Yan's father: "In the afternoon, Guoping came to the store with his child, and I asked him to come to the house to talk about it. I said we don't have any know-how, you can see it yourself in the store and know what's going on. Then he was silent, and I said, "We'll pick up their shop." He probably thought we still had a knack for not telling them, so he didn't agree. I asked him to go back and talk to Guoying. ”
After hearing this, Dad Yan said: "Forget it, in fact, it's a troublesome thing for us to take over, if you want to invest in a small restaurant for the second family, it's better to find a new one nearby." Or you can find one near us, I see that you don't have to queue up for people who read books, and the shops next to it that were not in business before are on fire. If you are cheaper than others, it is better to cheapen your own people. ”
Mother Yan said: "You're right, it's just that Xiao Jing said that she wanted to help Ruoshu Ruowu's two children, they are really husband and wife, I don't know what to say." Forget it, they don't appreciate it, and we can't help it, we can't tell them to change the restaurant. If they lose money again after that, they think they did it on purpose. If we take over and make money, and we want to say that we have a way to make money, and deliberately don't sue them, it will be embarrassing for people to do anything. ”
Yan Jing thought about it, and felt that what Yan's father and mother said was very reasonable, and she really took it for granted, what is most difficult to see through in this world is the human heart. Although she wants to help people, she can't make her family unhappy in the end, maybe she will end up with a dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off.
After that, everyone didn't talk about it anymore, and the opportunity was left to them to choose. It has been more than a month since the start of school, and the eleventh long holiday is about to pass, and classes will start tomorrow.
The World Wushu Championships, which were supposed to be held in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, on October 1 this year have been postponed.
Because after the "9.11" incident that shocked the world, the international situation was confusing, and the United States deployed troops around Afghanistan to arrest Ben ****, the mastermind behind the 9.11 tragedy. Central Asia and West Asia, where Armenia is located, where the Sixth World Wushu Championships were held, became a "sensitive area" for a while. The members of the IWUF Executive Board voted by means of a telecommunication vote to postpone the 6th World Wushu Championships, which was originally scheduled to be held in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, on October 1. Because Afghanistan borders Iran to the east and Armenia to the north, the world is speculating about the extent of the war. - "Chinese Martial Arts"
Yu Zhengde also took her to see the Asian Youth Wushu Championships in May. Originally, I said to sign her up and let him participate. But Yan Jing said to go and see it first, and then go next time.
In her previous life, she was a martial arts idiot~ idiot, if it weren't for the fact that she was tricked by Yu Zhengde into learning some martial arts for self-defense, she really didn't want to compete in any competition and become famous.
But there is no way, who told her to get on the thief ship, in order to fulfill the master's wish, it can be regarded as a traditional martial art of our country, she can only sacrifice one, but she doesn't want to go stupidly, let's see what other people's competitions compare and how to compare.
As a result, what Yan Jing saw completely left her speechless, she always thought that in a martial arts competition, of course, it was two opponents fighting, and then challenged, and then the winner was the champion. Forgive her for reading too many martial arts novels.
However, the real martial arts competitions are all individual competitions, that is, one person performs there, or several people or a group of people perform there, and she has no idea what it is. It's not close to the martial arts dream I was looking forward to.
In the end, she asked Yu Zhengde why it was not a challenge system, what can be seen in this performance, no matter what moves are practiced well, if you can't win a little hooligan in actual combat, what is this to learn martial arts, to strengthen your body, it is better to go running more directly.
Yu Zhengde was almost choked to death by his apprentice's words, how could he not find that his seemingly quiet apprentice was so violent. He can only tell her that this is an era of peace, and learning martial arts is to strengthen the body, not to be brave and ruthless.
Yan Jing was speechless, she didn't say that learning martial arts is to be brave and ruthless, she also knew that it was a cultivation of life and physical fitness, but she felt that she didn't want to participate in the competition in the future, so she played monkey on it alone.
So she said: "Master, I don't want to participate in martial arts competitions, no matter how good a person is playing on it, it's not interesting, senior brother can not participate, and there are so many students in your martial arts hall, and you also know that I have made moves with you, all of them are freewheeling, where there are so many routines and rules." Why don't we go to a kickboxing tournament? ”
Yu Zhengde stared at his apprentice for a long time and sighed: "Hey, forget it, I'm too persistent, all the martial arts competitions now have indeed made those traditional martial arts lose their original power and taste, it is no longer our era of war, and we don't need the power of those martial arts themselves." There are few people who can calm down and practice what kind of mental method we have, and there are a few in the world with qualifications like yours, so let's just follow the fate, I can be regarded as finding a successor, and when you are old in the future, you can also find a successor, as long as it is not lost. He shook his head and sighed.
Yan Jing was also said to be silent, she didn't understand this in her previous life, she was just an otaku, look at boring online novels and gossip, what martial arts are far away from her, so she really doesn't know what martial arts competitions are like like this, and it's not the same thing as the blood boiling in the martial arts novels she reads.
She had been thinking about fulfilling her master's wish and participating in the competition to win the championship, in fact, she could also participate in this competition, but she felt that it was really boring. It's a show, if it's easy to get up early every day to run in order to keep fit.
After thinking about it, he said: "Master, didn't you just say that when you taught me Tai Chi, don't you have to stick to the form, everyone's comprehension of Tai Chi is different, and the moves are different. Therefore, if it is just a pure exhibition match, and the advantages of this martial art cannot be brought into full play, I think that you can participate in the free martial arts finals to give full play to its characteristics and power. But is there such a fight, but I watched the TV show all the boxing championships, and it was a fight, but they were all men, and I don't know if my women can participate. But don't worry, Master, I will help you achieve your wishes. ”
Yu Zhengde nodded with relief, but still said: "I'm very happy that you have this heart, but you are still young now, don't worry about this, wait until you are an adult, let's study hard." ”
Then he said: "Originally, I said that I would take you to Yerevan in October to watch this World Wushu Championships, but since you won't participate in the future, forget it, don't go." ”
Yan Jing was dumbfounded, she didn't want to participate, but she still wanted to see the opportunity to go abroad for the first time in her previous life and this life. Busy said: "Master, that, although I won't participate in martial arts competitions in the future, it's okay to go and have a look." ”
Woo, she wants to go abroad to see, her English was too bad in her previous life, and she has no money. Now my English is very good, and I have money. Although I can go when I grow up in the future, I still have four or five years to become an adult.
In the end, the master finally agreed to her and let her follow his friend's participating martial arts group to have a look, but she was blocked by the 9.11 incident, and she still couldn't go, so Yan Jing was depressed and scolded the ** who had been a summer vacation.
But on October 20th, Yu Zhengde said that the event was resumed, and from November 3rd, he asked her if she was still going. You have to prepare early, and in the end, Yan Jing thought about it and said, don't go. Hey, I want to go to class, it's not good to ask for leave, before the October 1st game, there are eleven can be 7 days off, no need to ask for leave, now there is no such a long holiday, the family will definitely disagree, can only cry in their hearts.
Yan Guoping's bookstore was finally put out, but I don't know how much the price is, if he believes Yan Jing and their family, they will definitely not let them lose money, but they don't believe them, it is estimated that the price will not be too high, and the backlog of books must be handled casually.
However, their store was transferred out, and Yan's father said that he would invest in the second uncle's family to open a store, and the other two uncles also said that they would also invest in the second uncle's store together, so they called the second uncle and the second aunt to come over and discuss the matter of investing in opening a small restaurant near the Yanjia bookstore.
At that time, Grandma Yan's family was very poor, there were so many brothers, and there was no food to eat, so Yan's father enlisted in the army, and he could at least eat enough to eat as a soldier, but the second uncle was not selected, and was finally favored by the second aunt's family and recruited.
If the family conditions are so good now, Grandma Yan and Grandpa Yan will definitely not agree, but the relationship between the brothers is not bad, so everyone still cares about him.
No, now there are four brothers in the Yan family, plus the sister-in-law's family, of course, the sister-in-law does not participate in the shares, after all, they are the daughters of foreign marriage.
Father Yan looked at the second uncle and said: "Guoquan, you can't make a lot of money a year from farming at home, and the children are all going to school now, and they will need more money in the future, several of us have opened stores in this county, you know." So a few of us want to invest in opening a store for you, of course, don't refuse first, we don't give you handouts, you open it first, and when you make money later, just pay us back, you see. ”
The second uncle Guoquan and the second aunt Pan Fengyu were a little embarrassed at first, and now they are indeed the worst among the brothers. I was even more embarrassed when I heard that they had invested in him to open a store, and finally I heard that it was a loan and had to be repaid in the future, so I was relieved.
Yan Guoquan said: "Big brother, I know you want to help me, but I don't have any skills, I can't read all the words, what store do you say I can open, if I lose money, won't let your money be in vain, besides, the third brother and the younger brother don't have to decorate the house, your store hasn't been open for a long time, I'm afraid the capital has not been recovered yet, where is the money for me to invest." ”
The second aunt Pan Fengyu wanted to speak and stopped, on this occasion, she was not easy to speak.
The third uncle and the uncle were also a little speechless, they were decorating the house, although the business in the store was very good, and it had almost returned to the capital, but the deposit was not much, after all, they still had to keep money to buy it, and they couldn't divide it every month, and they would only divide it once a year in the future, which was because they had to decorate the house, and they only shared a part of it every month.
They used to speak impulsively, but now they are a little embarrassed to be said.
