Chapter 155: Expanding Operations
When it was almost four o'clock, the group returned to Renyi District, and Yu Zhiqing took Yu Mingyue to visit Kong Mingying as usual, and then returned to Caiyun Village in a hurry.
As soon as they got home and had dinner, Yu Zhiqing and Yu Mingyue hurriedly went to the field to do some scattered work in the field, and the next morning, they went to the city to sell vegetables without moving.
Although there is Pu Xiaoqiang at home to help every day, Pu Xiaoqiang is only 13 years old after all, after all, Yu Mingyue took him to get familiar with the work at home for a while, but there was no adult with him in the field, he was still a little blind, so Yu Zhiqing's burden now is really not light, Kong Mingying was hospitalized for a few days, and his mouth was so anxious that he had two bubbles.
Kong Xiaoyu watched Yu Zhiqing busy in the city and fields every day, and felt sorry for Yu Zhiqing, so he listened to Yu Mingyue's construction and hired the Liu and Wang families who had been set earlier to help with a series of farm work in the fields, which made Yu Zhiqing a lot easier.
At the beginning, Kong Xiaoyu was afraid that the hired people would help with the work, so as soon as she finished the housework every day, she took her two children and went to the field to supervise the work.
Yu Mingyue said this is well-founded, since the people in the village knew that Yu Mingyue's family was hiring people to do farm work and paid a high salary of 6 yuan a day, many people had already come to the door to recommend themselves. Therefore, Yu Mingyue knows that her family is not afraid of not being able to hire the right person.
After hearing this, Kong Xiaoyu thought about it reasonably, so when she hired Liu Wang's family to work later, in addition to arranging the work to be done for them that day every morning, she asked Pu Xiaoqiang to follow her to the field to do the work, and give her an eyeliner or something. And Kong Xiaoyu only occasionally went to the field to check the quality, so Kong Xiaoyu was a lot more relaxed, and the two children who were still nursing also suffered a lot less from the wind and sun.
However, Kong Mingying's vision is good, the Liu and Wang families she invited are real people, and it goes without saying that Liu Xuegao, who is recognized as a fool in Caiyun Village, has always worked hard, and he doesn't know how to cheat and play tricks at all. And Wang Changzheng's family is also a family that is really responsible, Kong Xiaoyu called his family to work and time, whether it was Wang Changzheng himself or someone in his family to help, they were all doing their best.
After hiring these two families a few times, Kong Xiaoyu saw that they were all reliable, so when he hired them again when there was farm work in the field, in addition to arranging the work to be done that day for them every morning, he no longer liked to go to the field to supervise or inspect, and when the field work was not much, even Pu Xiaoqiang was no longer sent to the field as an eyeliner, but was left at home by Kong Xiaoyu to help with some housework.
Since then, Yu Zhiqing has come back from selling vegetables every day, although he will also go to the field, except for occasionally helping the handle, by the way to see how the work is doing, basically no need to take care of the work in the field.
For this reason, Yu Zhiqing, who seemed to be very idle, also made fun of Kong Xiaoyu, saying that Kong Xiaoyu now calls others to work so smoothly, and he is born with all kinds of exploitation techniques of the old landlord Kong.
When Yu Mingyue heard about it, she couldn't laugh, to put it bluntly, doesn't it mean that her mother inherited the landlord's gene. In fact, according to her thoughts, the landlord gene inherited by her grandmother is called genuine, and the vision of hiring people is so accurate and poisonous, it is really the life of the local housewife.
It just so happened that Kong Mingying, who was living in the hospital, was worried that there was a job at home, so every time Yu Zhiqing and Yu Mingyue went to the hospital, Kong Mingying wanted to go home early, and didn't want to spend more money in the hospital.
Kong Mingying has only been hospitalized for more than ten days, and even if the sky falls, he can't be discharged from the hospital, for the sake of Kong Mingying's heart, so Yu Mingyue persuaded Kong Mingying to be hospitalized with peace of mind, so she told Kong Mingying what Yu Zhiqing teased Kong Xiaoyu, and also told Kong Mingying about the fact that she felt that Kong Mingying was born with a landlord's mother-in-law.
Kong Mingying was amused and laughed and scolded, but when she learned that the work in the fields was lagging behind, she stopped talking about going home, and recuperated in the hospital with peace of mind. And the three old ladies living in the government compound have also been taking turns to deliver delicious and nutritious meals to the hospital, and sometimes the three of them have made an appointment to talk to Kong Mingying together.
And when Yu Mingyue and Yu Zhiqing go to the city to sell vegetables every day, even if they don't necessarily bring poultry and meat or something, they will send some vegetables to the government compound to the three old heavens. Sometimes I would go to the hospital early in the morning to send Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying some change of clothes or something, and when I turned around from the city in the afternoon, I went to the hospital to see the situation of Kong Mingying and Yu Tianzhou, and asked the two old people if they had any new needs, and then returned home.
In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, and it had been eighteen days since Kong Mingying was admitted to the hospital.
Since the work in the field has been backward, Yu Mingyue's family has actually lived a leisurely life, the father and daughter come home at three or four o'clock in the afternoon every day, if they don't have to go to the field, Yu Zhiqing will either take Yu Mingyue up the mountain to see the traps set up, or stay at home, manage the fruit tree saplings in the yard, or accompany Kong Xiaoyu to bring the two little ones who are more than two months old.
At such a time, Yu Zhiqing likes to find wood to come out and make some small toys that Yu Mingyue told him that he has never seen, such as a small wooden horse that allows children to ride and play, and seesaws for two children to play together.
Yu Zhiqing originally knew the simple carpenter's craftsmanship, plus he has always been ingenious, as long as Yu Mingyue described the use and style of any toy, he could basically think of a way to make it, so after the family was relaxed, the father and daughter often stayed together to develop toys for the little twins who had not yet grown up.
At this time, Kong Xiaoyu likes to hold her twin sons to the side, pointing to the toys that are being made, and telling her the names of the two little twin toys and how to have fun. Even Yu Mingyue and Yu Zhiqing like to tease the two little guys like this, and the three of them don't care if the two little guys understand these words, but when they see the two little guys staring at those toys curiously, or being amused to giggle, the three of them will laugh happier than the two little guys, and Yu Mingyue will sometimes even be amused by the two little guys to hold their stomachs and laugh wildly.
In the past few years, there have not been many times when the family has to get together, and now although Kong Mingying is hospitalized and Yu Tianzhou is not at home, because there are more little twins, the family has added a lot of fun.
Every time she accompanies her parents to play with the two little ones, Yu Mingyue feels very happy, very happy, and the sense of happiness seems to have filled her body and mind, so that she can no longer remember the painful memories of her previous life, and she can't feel the slightest emotion.
So at this time, when Yu Mingyue was amused by the cute appearance of the two little twins and hugged her belly and laughed happily, how indecent the smile was, not to mention, in the loud and exaggerated happy laughter, there was only pure sweetness and happiness, without a trace of sadness, just like a real child, expressing her happiness and pleasure at will.
In the eyes of the husband and wife, although their daughter is born without contact with outsiders, and she has been sensible like a little adult since she was a child, she is a little old-fashioned, but their daughter is a child who loves to laugh.
On weekdays, no matter which adult in the family is talking to, or when talking to someone close to them, they will naturally grin the corners of their mouths, so that the big smile on their faces looks sweet, and they have always felt that the unchanged smile is very cute and polite.
can see Yu Mingyue laughing regardless of holding her stomach now, and even sometimes smiling and slumping on the stool and rubbing her stomach vigorously because she laughed for too long, they felt that this kind of Yu Mingyue was more like a carefree and happy child.
Regarding Yu Mingyue's difference, Yu Zhiqing only thought about it casually in his heart, and concluded that the life of the family is getting better and better now, and Yu Mingyue, who has always been sensible and likes to worry about things, has less to worry about, and she also likes the expression of her two little brothers very much.
But Kong Xiaoyu didn't dare to know more about outsiders because she knew more about Yu Mingyue, so when she found out that Yu Mingyue was different, after thinking about it carefully, she came up with more guesses, but it also made her have more doubts in her heart.
Although the husband and wife thought differently when they saw Yu Mingyue's changes, the husband and wife were very happy about Yu Mingyue's change, so in the later days, Yu Zhiqing liked to stay at home and take Yu Mingyue to make toys whenever he was free, Kong Xiaoyu also held the two little ones next to him every time, and the family teased the children, talking and laughing, and life seemed very peaceful and happy.
This made Yu Mingyue very happy every day, and she thought for a moment that if she could get together as a family every day and live a quiet life like this, even if the family earned less money and lived a poorer life, she would be willing.
But after thinking about it, when she saw Kong Xiaoyu and Yu Zhiqing holding a little guy alone, such thoughts were dispelled by Yu Mingyue in an instant. Not to mention that she and a few adults can't live a poor life, she still has two younger brothers who are still breastfeeding.
As time goes by, raising children is very expensive, elementary school, junior high school, high school, college, 16 years of tuition costs not to mention, in the 21st century, if a young man wants to start a family and marry a satisfactory daughter-in-law, he is not ready to get on the car and house, and few girls are willing to take care of it.
Speaking of the future social development, Yu Mingyue, who lived to 2014 and was killed by lightning, is considered to be a person from the past, she knows very well that with the development of social economy, the social atmosphere is becoming more and more different, and the competition of study, work, and life pressure will become more and more intense, and any competition is cruel.
The economic conditions of the family sometimes even determine whether the children in the family will lose at the starting line of life. So when the motivation in her heart, because of the daily happy and leisurely life, just wanted to relax, Yu Mingyue immediately dispelled that thought.
Since there are more little twins in the family, Yu Mingyue unconsciously treats her two little brothers as juniors, considering the problems just now, as if she herself is the parent of the two little ones, thinking of the various cruel competition that the two little ones will face in the future, Yu Mingyue also has a greater sense of urgency in her heart.
So on June 12, Yu Mingyue took advantage of the fact that the vegetable business was not busy, and when she looked around the four turns, and saw that the business of each shop was very hot, she began to plan to expand her business and make more money.
Since ten days ago, the effect of hanging that kind of rental revelation on the door of the shop has been very good, and in more than half a month, the 25 shops built by her family outside the hospital have been rented out 11 large and 2 small, a total of 13 rooms. Of the 10 shops in her grandfather's house, 3 large, 3 small, and 6 were rented out, and her father's house originally only had 4 big shops and 4 small shops, and now they have also rented out 2 large shops and 3 small shops.
At this time, some people who came to rent shops with them opened grocery stores, some people opened shops selling pork or fish, some people opened clothing stores, some people opened sewing shops, some people opened fruit shops, and many people opened vegetable shops like her family
Anyway, all kinds of shops are open in a variety of ways, and the business of each shop is very hot, not to mention, even those small stalls in the open air, the business is also very good.
It's just that because the three of them had agreed earlier that tenants were not allowed to light fires in the shop, so up to now, the merchants who rented their three shops to sell food, except for one cold snack bar that specialized in cold and noodles, there was only one shop specializing in cold and braised vegetables.
The owner of the cold braised vegetable shop is a retired old couple living in the community, and they are the original old customers of Yu Mingyue's family, among which the old man's surname is Mei, the old lady's surname is Luo, and the name of the shop is "Mei Ji Liang Lu". Because the old lady has good skills in making braised vegetables, and the skills of mixing all kinds of cold dishes are also good, the old couple saw that several shops in the community had rented shops here and opened various small shops, and after the two of them combined, they came to rent one of the small shops near the community, and marinated the vegetables at home every day, and then brought them to the store to sell.
When "Mei Ji Lianglu" opened on the first day, Yu Mingyue ran to cheer up, and saw that it was not expensive to sell 3 jiao of braised chicken feet, so she bought 10 in one go, and Mrs. Luo also gave Yu Mingyue 1, Yu Mingyue tasted it at the moment, and the taste was so good that Yu Mingyue almost swallowed her tongue into her stomach. A few days ago, when Yu Mingyue went to buy the old lady's best braised chicken feet, she found that the business of the old couple was very good.
In addition to helping Yu Zhiqing sell vegetables every day, when she is not busy and bored, she likes to carry a newly bought broom and garbage pinch to look along the rows of shops in front of her house, while sweeping the garbage discarded by pedestrians on the ground.
If you see tenants or stall owners in the open air littering, Yu Mingyue will come forward to remind: We are all doing business in this area, if this garbage is everywhere, not to mention the impact on the environment, it will not affect the business, right?
At the beginning, there were many tenants and stall owners who were used to littering, Yu Mingyue reminded him of this, and he helped to sweep it, and over time, everyone slowly developed a good habit of consciously cleaning up the garbage caused by their stalls.
So even though this area is very busy with people coming and going, the environment is still consciously maintained by everyone, and there is no garbage, flies flying, and Xiaoqiang scurrying around.
I don't know who started it, anyway, after a while, when the tenants of this piece greeted Yu Mingyue, who often set up stalls in the open air, they all liked to make fun of Yu Mingyue, saying that she was a small sanitation worker in this area.
After hearing this, Yu Mingyue was a little stunned, and thought to herself: But, I'm obviously more like a chengguan! How can sanitation workers have the right to collect fees?
After the belly slander, Yu Mingyue suddenly had an idea: At present, it is okay to maintain hygiene every day, but after she goes to school, who will take over this matter? You can't let the environment fill the streets in the future, right? You have to find someone to replace you.
After having this idea, Yu Mingyue discussed it with Yu Zhiqing, and that afternoon, after Yu Mingyue's house closed the stall, she hung up a recruitment revelation outside the door of her vegetable stall.
On the top of a piece of cardboard, there is a big word recruitment, and the bottom is written in detail (recruiting a street cleaner, monthly salary of 150 yuan, age, gender is not limited, and those who think they have the ability to maintain the daily environmental sanitation of Changshou Road Street can come to apply.) )
Early the next morning after the recruitment notice was posted, an old couple living in the Changshou Road community came to apply, saying that the two could take turns to maintain the sanitation of this area, and the salary was still 150 yuan per person. Seeing that the other party was still an old acquaintance who often took care of his business, and the old couple was also in good health, Yu Zhiqing immediately hired an old couple.
Since then, Yu Mingyue doesn't have to spend time sweeping the highway every day, so that Yu Mingyue is still a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and when the vegetable business is not busy, she is a little helpless.
But what Yu Mingyue didn't expect the most was that on the second day of the cleaning, a middle-aged man came to rent a shop, and recently there are people who rent shops every day, and it is not strange to come again, but seeing that the man is a little hesitant, Yu Mingyue asked the other party a little uneasy about what shop he wanted to open, and only then did he know that the person designated to rent the big shop opposite the hospital in front of her house, which was ready to sell funeral supplies such as wreaths and shrouds.
After Yu Zhiqing heard this, he was really a little taboo in his heart, so he was a little reluctant to rent, and Zhang Qiang saw that the situation was not good, so he took the initiative to say that he could pay more rent, and asked Yu Zhiqing if he was willing to rent 350 yuan a month to him.
But Yu Mingyue's thinking is not so old-fashioned, in his previous life, which big hospital did not have a few shops specializing in funeral business at the door? Seeing that Zhang Qiang offered to pay more rent, Yu Mingyue pulled Yu Zhiqing and muttered a few words, Yu Zhiqing rented a lease with Zhang Qiang for a period of 3 months in accordance with the same lease agreement as other tenants, and the lease agreement also stated that after the expiration of the lease in March, Zhang Qiang could give priority to renewing the contract, but the rent had to be adjusted up and down according to the market price at that time.
Yu Mingyue is very clear that this was originally just the only road leading to the hospital, but now it is called "Changshou Road Street", which will only become more and more lively in the future, and her shops will become more and more popular, and the rent increase is only a matter of time.
Her family now only uses a big shop to sell vegetables, and the left and right sides of the vegetable shop are also big shops, and the location is also very good, several people have proposed to rent it for a while, and Yu Zhiqing is also ready to agree, but Yu Mingyue has plans to expand her business, so she privately told Yu Zhiqing what she wanted, Yu Zhiqing's mind has always been flexible, although he has not thought about expanding any business at the moment, but he has not rented the two shops on the left and right of his vegetable shop to others.
Yu Mingyue had thought about the expansion earlier, and now she had a sense of urgency in her heart, so on June 12, after Yu Mingyue helped Yu Zhiqing set up the dishes, she began to look around and look around, trying to find a business that no one had yet involved and that was suitable for her family.
