Chapter 56: Calculation
Mei Lan didn't know what Deng Hongying said to Wang Ximei, anyway, when Mei Lan entered the house, Wang Ximei didn't scold Mei Lan anymore, of course, she didn't smile, she still frowned coldly.
After all, it is impossible for a person's preferences to change lightly.
Mei Lan didn't care, as long as she didn't find fault and scold, just ignore it, Mei Lan didn't bother to talk to her anyway.
Mei Lan returned to her room and saw that the bedding on the bed was all laid out, Mei Lan smelled it, and could smell a fragrance of laundry detergent, presumably Deng Hongying knew that she should go home these days, so she took advantage of the good weather to wash things for her these days.
Thinking of washing clothes, Mei Lan felt that she should still buy a washing machine, a semi-automatic washing machine that can be filled with water by herself, at least she doesn't have to rub it herself.
"What are you doing?" Mei Zhu carried Mei Lan's luggage and sent it up.
"No, I just thought I should buy a washing machine, so that my mother would have to wash the sheets and quilts too much trouble in the future."
"That's not the case, a few days ago, the weather was fine, my mother dismantled and washed all the sheets and quilts at home, you didn't catch up, but I was tired enough to choke, I went to the river to clean it by myself."
"You know, don't show credit. Oh, I'm talking, you can take this computer, there is a wireless network card in it, I have been in it for two months. ”
When Mei Zhu heard this, she immediately put down Mei Lan's luggage with a smile and went back to her own room with her computer bag.
Mei Lan couldn't help but shake her head when she looked at her eagerness.
In fact, Mei Zhu is slightly stronger than Mei Ju, because Mei Zhu is the boss, and she didn't do less things at home at the beginning, but later Mei Lan grew up and could replace her, so she began to be lazy and slippery, but when she was busy with farming, she also went to the field, and she could pick up the work outside the home, unlike Mei Ju, who pretended to be sick and coquettish at every turn to avoid labor.
And because Wang Ximei also doesn't like her, whatever is delicious is secretly given to Mei Ju and Mei Xin, and the two of them are also muttering bad things about Wang Ximei behind their backs, and the sisters' relationship is originally okay.
It's just that during the summer vacation of the previous year, she knew that the money Mei Lan earned from her part-time job was going to be used to pay for tuition, and she secretly took a thousand yuan to buy clothes, so Mei Lan showed this person's selfishness and willfulness.
But who doesn't have a problem? At least Mei Zhu is still much stronger than Mei Ju, at least she knows that she feels sorry for Deng Hongying and takes the initiative to help with some housework, which is already very content for Mei Lan.
The next day, Mei Lan planned to go back to Mei City to get the vehicle license plate and insurance, and by the way to buy something, when she came out of the room, Mei Zhu was watching Korean dramas in the room, Mei Lan didn't alarm her, and when she went downstairs, she heard Wang Ximei say in the yard that she was going to Mei Bao's house, because Mei Juan brought a boyfriend back.
Mei Lan saw Wang Ximei's back, she was wearing the rose-red down jacket that Mei Lan had just bought for Deng Hongying, and Mei Lan was a little unhappy.
Coincidentally, Deng Hongying was the only one washing vegetables by the well in the yard, and Mei Lan walked over and squatted down to help.
"Mom, why did you give her that dress? The dress was down, and it cost a thousand dollars a piece. ”
"Huh? So expensive? Deng Hongying obviously didn't expect it.
"That, what, your father said, said that you didn't buy anything for your mother-in-law when you went out, so I thought about picking one for her, and I wore the green one, and I saw that you spent more than seven hundred on that wool coat, and I didn't give up, so I took the down one, thinking that your mother-in-law was old and afraid of the cold, which was just right."
"She's the right fit?" Mei Lan sneered, "She didn't say that she bought it with my money, and she didn't wear it?" ”
"Not really, I, I specifically said, yes, you bought it for her, I, I ......"
"What do you two say?" Mei Baoping pushed the door in, and he also put on Mei Lan's newly bought dark green cotton jacket and jeans, but he looked two years younger than usual.
Mei Lan saw him carry a basket and enter the door, knowing that he had driven to the town early in the morning to buy groceries.
"Dad, Mom, you two come and sit down, I have something to tell you." Merlin said as she pulled two stools from the kitchen and placed them next to the stone table.
Mei Baoping and Deng Hongying rarely saw Mei Lan so strict and serious, the two glanced at each other, shook their heads, but quickly sat down.
"Dad, you're still so young, you don't want to do something?"
What does that mean? Didn't you ask me to come back? Mei Baoping thought that Mei Lan had repented, and his voice couldn't help but be a little higher.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm not going to let you go to work again. I mean, you have also been a chef for so many years, have you ever thought about opening a restaurant by yourself and taking my mother with you, anyway, Mei Xin also went to the county seat, and her mother-in-law can follow her father, of course, she really can't do without you, and she is willing to follow you, I have no opinion. ”
"Be your own boss? You're saying you paid me to be the boss? Mei Baoping said as he pinched himself hard.
It hurts, it's not a dream.
His daughter just bought him a new car, which will give him money to start a business, he always feels as if he is dreaming, in fact, since yesterday, he feels as if he is stepping on the clouds, this morning got up, I didn't expect a big pie to fall from the sky.
No, it didn't fall from the sky, it was given by her daughter.
"Lan Lan, how much can you give Dad?" Mei Baoping asked happily.
"One hundred thousand." Merlin reported a number.
Mei Lan is not very optimistic about Mei Baoping, because Mei Baoping is not the kind of person who can endure hardships very much, nor is he the kind of person who is shrewd and calculating, Mei Lan just thinks that he is only 44 years old, and he has worked for others all his life, if he has the opportunity to fulfill his dream of being a boss, he should fulfill a wish for him.
Of course, it would be better if he could hold it up, as if Merlin earned it.
"100,000 yuan?" Mei Baoping listened and began to ponder.
100,000 yuan is not much, he can only open a small restaurant in the countryside, this risk is a bit big, what he is worried about is that Mei Lan gave him money to open a restaurant, in case he puts forward the condition again that he doesn't care about the cost of Mei Zhu's three studies, he will have to weigh this matter.
The cost of studying for three people is 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a year, and it is still a bit difficult for a small restaurant in the countryside to earn 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a year.
He looked at Deng Hongying.
is worthy of being a husband and wife for more than 20 years, Deng Hongying knew her husband's mind at once.
"Lan Lan, what about the tuition fees for the three of them?" Deng Hongying asked for Mei Baoping.
"I'm still in charge of the tuition fees for the three of them, but I won't pay you anymore."
"This becomes. With this 100,000 yuan, I can open a small restaurant in the town first, and your mother can come out to help me, and your mother-in-law doesn't have to go anywhere else, we have our own car, and we can go home and live every day. ”
When Mei Baoping heard that he didn't have to bear the tuition fees of the three of them, it was equivalent to having no worries, and he immediately felt more confident.
A chef who doesn't want to be a boss is not a good chef, how many years has he wanted to open his own restaurant? I thought that there was no hope in this life, but I never thought that Mei Lan would fulfill this wish for him.
"It's good to be in the town, close to home, and the work in the field at home is not delayed." When Deng Hongying heard that her husband didn't have to go out, she opened a restaurant in front of her home, and she was immediately full of smiles.
"Why are you still thinking about farming?" Merlin was reluctant.
She is now fully capable of making her mother not work so hard, but if Deng Hongying is still busy in the fields and at home, plus a restaurant, wouldn't it be even busier?
"Then, instead of planting rice and peanuts, plant some vegetables and raise two more pigs." Deng Hongying hesitated for a moment and said.
Deng Hongying has Deng Hongying's calculations.
Mei Lan didn't have to worry about her.
But she still has three children, she can't pin all her hopes of raising a family on Mei Lan alone, what if one day Mei Lan is too busy to take care of herself or Mei Lan has other reasons to ignore them, what if she doesn't have any savings in her hand?
Taking a step back, even if Mei Lan can provide them with a college graduation, but Mei Lan gives them a thousand yuan a month, in addition to food and pocket money, it is still not enough to wear a beautiful dress, Mei Zhu is an example, and she has to reach out to her family to ask for money, not to mention that they will find a job and get married and start a family in the future, which one of these does not require money?
So Deng Hongying is very willing to Mei Baoping to open this restaurant, Mei Baoping's cooking skills are good, Qutang Town has traveled a lot of foreign tourists in recent years, this is one, second, Deng Hongying has a variety of dishes at home, so that the vegetables in the restaurant can be picked from their own fields, this can save a lot of money, and then take the swill of the hotel to feed a few pigs or something, inside and outside and make a fortune.
"That's good, it's a lot easier not to farm." Mei Lan knew that Deng Hongying had been busy all these years, and suddenly asked her not to do anything, but I was afraid that she would not be used to it, so it was okay to just grow some vegetables at home and feed some pigs or something, anyway, Mei Baoping could reach out at home.
"Cheng, then it's decided, I'll go to the town now and see if I can rent a storefront?" After Mei Baoping finished speaking, he got up to leave.
"Dad, you're too anxious. You go to the city with me first, get your driving license, license plate and insurance first, and then you will go back and get busy with yours. Merlin grabbed him.
"That's right, I forgot if you didn't say it."
Mei Baoping went into the house to get his ID card after speaking, because his name was written on the invoice.
Mei Lan also wants to take Deng Hongying with her, she wants to take Deng Hongying to cut her hair, and by the way, she goes to buy some things, such as washing machines, electric heaters, bed sheets and quilt covers, Mei Lan not only wants to buy one here, but also prepare one for her grandmother, because Mei Lan guesses that Wang Sisi and Hu Hu must not be used to living in this rural place, and Mei Lan can only help them create good conditions as much as possible.
In addition, Mei Lan also plans to buy some New Year's goods back, and these Deng Hongying are much more experienced than Mei Lan.
Thinking of buying New Year's goods, it is estimated that there must be a lot of things, Mei Lan opened her throat and shouted Mei Zhu, as soon as Mei Zhu heard that she went to Mei Market to buy something, she hurriedly changed her clothes and came down. R1152
