Chapter 31 Arrangements for the Coming Year
When I returned to the Binhai Industrial Area, it was already dark. It's just that when the two siblings went upstairs, the house still seemed very quiet. At this time, Xu Haibao's parents have not yet gotten off work, and naturally there is no one at home.
The brother and sister, who had made a lot of purchases in the East China Sea, also began to carry the purchased New Year's goods into their homes in large packages. Such a large purchase of New Year's goods also made Xu Qingya truly feel the charm of 'shopping'.
When shopping, Xu Haibao is often the one who carries things and digs out his wallet. But for Xu Haibao, this is the first year he spent with his family after he was discharged from the army, and it is natural that he should reduce some of the burden on his family and buy some things for his family.
At least Xu Haibao knows that every time the Chinese New Year comes, his parents will never forget to buy new clothes for the brothers and sisters. But according to my parents, the clothes I wear during the Spring Festival every year look new, but most of them are clothes I bought in the early years.
A lot of clothes are even worn only for New Year's time. And this kind of situation is common in many families with limited conditions in China. For many parents in China, they will always find ways to give their children the best.
Looking at the big bags piled up in her living room, Xu Qingya was a little dumbfounded and said, "Brother, are we all buying this?"
"yes, what's wrong? What did you buy yourself, don't you know?"
Facing Xu Qingya's somewhat unconscious confusion, Xu Haibao also replied with a smile. It's just that for Xu Haibao, these things that Xiaomei bought can be used by her family. What's more, a lot of things are used by parents.
Among them, there are two sets of clothes for each of them from the inside out. Even if her mother rarely uses cosmetics, this time Xu Qingya also bought a set of expensive ones for her mother. This kind of expense is unlikely to be spent by the Xu family in the past.
Xu Qingya, who finally came to her senses, said a little cautiously: "Brother, how much did we spend today?"
"What's wrong? I'm afraid that my parents will discipline you! Don't worry, if your parents can say it, you will say that I paid for it. My parents have worked hard all their lives, and they are very frugal every year. This year, it's our turn to buy them New Year's goods.
You don't have to worry too much about money, it's nothing. What's more, none of these things are expensive. If you really want to calculate it, it is estimated that even the rich people spend less money to buy a bag and a piece of clothing, what are you afraid of?"
With Xu Haibao's words, Xu Qingya immediately smiled and said: "Then say it! If your parents can say it, I'll say that you instigated it." I can't say that I bought all these things!"
"Dead girl, you want me to take the blame for you, right?"
"That's okay! I'm not wrong, I'll help you be a staff officer at most, and all you have to pay for it. So, I'm right! You bought all these things, am I telling a lie?"
Regarding Xu Qingya's cunning, Xu Haibao didn't say much. Looking at the time, Xu Haibao, whose parents were about to get off work, said: "Qingya, clean up these things, I'll prepare to cook first!"
"Okay, okay, brother, you kept the fish for me, right?"
"Keep it! No matter how old you are, you can't get rid of your gluttony. Don't worry, I promise that tonight's fish will make you eat with chopsticks that won't stop. However, if you really want to eat delicious seafood, you should go back to the island and eat it, it is even more delicious there!"
"Brother, shall we go back to the island for the New Year this year?"
Compared with Xu Haibao's time in the village, Xu Qingya's time in the village is naturally shorter. For Xu Qingya, the village was a little too boring. When I go back to the village, I can only stay at home and watch TV many times.
"What do you think yourself? The last time I came back, the third uncle and the third aunt wanted us to go back to the village for the New Year. Even if our family has moved into the city, the village is our roots, and we must never forget it!"
Knowing that my little sister doesn't feel good about Fulin Island, she still likes to stay in the city more during the New Year. In fact, Xu Haibao can understand this situation, if he is not reborn, I am afraid that Xu Haibao also prefers the feeling of staying in the city.
Facing Xu Haibao's slightly serious advice, Xu Qingya said a little cautiously: "Brother, do you want to go back to the village for the New Year?"
"I'm going back to the village for the New Year! Although the city is lively for the New Year, sometimes I can't sleep if I want to. Now that there are so many residents in the community, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, you should be able to experience the feeling of firecrackers at every turn, right?
Although the village is not as lively as the city, it is better to be quiet. The most important thing is that if you are really bored, you can stay at home and surf the Internet! The last time I went back to my hometown, I had already turned on the Internet. If you want to go back to the city, it's actually very convenient. ”
"Where's Mom and Dad?"
"The most important thing is what you think! If you want to stay in the city for the New Year, we will naturally accompany you. But if you are willing to go back to your hometown for the New Year, your parents will definitely be willing to go back to the village for the New Year. After all, there they are more familiar.
After a hard year, it is rare to have a New Year's holiday, and if they go back to the village, they can also contact the people in the village. At least in my opinion, if you go back to the village for the New Year, you can also make it really easy for your parents to celebrate the New Year.
Not to mention anything else, Dongling Town has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are also pedestrian streets and large supermarkets in the town. If you want to go shopping, borrow the third uncle's boat at that time, and as long as the weather permits, you can go to the street whenever you want.
I have even planned to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to simply decorate the old house. Renovate the bathroom and install a water heater. After the Chinese New Year, I plan to renovate the old house.
In these years, many people yearn for a house facing the sea in spring. If we have such conditions, why can't we enjoy it? If others want to have such a house, I'm afraid it's impossible!"
Hearing that Xu Haibao planned to renovate the old house and get the bathroom and water heater in place, Xu Qingya quickly said: "If you renovate the old house, it should cost a lot of money, right?
"Why don't you agree? Don't you like to go back to your old house because you don't think it's convenient to go back to your hometown? If you renovate your old house and put on everything you have in the city, what's the difference between living in the city and living in the city?
In the past few years, you should have felt that many people living in the city go out with their families to celebrate the New Year in order to find a quiet place to celebrate the New Year. And we have such conditions, why not cherish them?
In my opinion, as the easternmost island in the East China Sea, Phuoc Rindo Island is a great place for leisure and tourism. I already have plans to open a company engaged in island tourism next year, and I will do some reception of individual tourists first.
I believe that as long as the reputation of Plin Island is spread, it will attract many young people and families. With the arrival of tourists, I believe that the village will also have more income and will not gradually fall into disuse. ”
"Brother, you start a company, do your parents know?"
"I haven't told them yet! There are some things that I just have an idea for the time being, and I need to plan it carefully. Most importantly, if you want to open an island tourism development company, money is also a big problem.
However, you don't have to worry about money, I have a way to solve it. I even have plans to hand over the company's publicity to you in the future. You are responsible for attracting tourists, and I am responsible for receiving tourists, and the income should not be low.
In the past two years, Baohai has begun to pay attention to the development of marine tourism, and the number of tourists who come to Baohai every year is also rising. But you should know what those beaches around Baohai look like, and what the beaches in our hometown look like.
For many tourists, the waters near the sea are muddy, while the waters open are turquoise. As long as we take care of food and accommodation, I believe that there will be tourists who are willing to travel to our village. ”
For the first time, he discussed the arrangements for the coming year with Xu Qingya, and Xu Haibao also hoped to obtain his sister's consent first. Under normal circumstances, as long as the two siblings have the same opinion, their parents will not object much.
No matter how bad it is, this is also a kind of entrepreneurship. Whether it works or not, at least parents shouldn't be too opposed!
Even in Xu Haibao's view, he plans to engage in island tourism development, more to relieve his parents from heavy work. In the future, having parents receive tourists at home may not be lower than going to work.
After listening to Xu Haibao's idea of starting a business, Xu Qingya thought for a while and said, "Brother, your idea is good. But you should know that if you want to do such a thing, you are afraid that you will not be able to do anything without funds.
I heard some about fisherman's pleasure last year. However, the infrastructure of the fishing villages around Baohai was invested and repaired by the city. We want to do this, unless the city is willing to invest. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this. ”
"If you are a tourist, do you like to experience the pristine island tourism, or is it an unrecognizable island? As long as you do a good job of eating, living, traveling, and playing, I believe that island tourism has a lot to offer!"
When the two siblings discussed the feasibility of starting a business, Xu Haibao processed the fresh fish and shrimp and put them in the steamer. Looking at this fish and shrimp, Xu Qingya is also looking forward to finally being able to eat authentic seafood after the fish and shrimp are cooked!
