Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs Chapter 349 Together time

Chapter 349. Together time

Zhou Xiao Mei started her career as a street seller.

She knew to be contented. Not all of her clothes would be sold every day. Sometimes she sold a lot and sometimes less. Whether she earned a few dimes or a yuan or so, she was deeply pleased.

Hu Zi and Zhou Er Ni had to go to evening cla.s.ses every night.

In comparison, Xu Sheng Mei was a lot more idle. She came over to her grandparents' to watch TV every day.

"Grandma, how much money does Aunt (Xiao Mei) make by selling clothes on the street?" Xu Sheng Mei asked.

"It's about a yuan." Mother Zhou knew the answer as she had heard her daughter say.

She still felt that Fourth Daughter-in-law knew how to take care of her sister-in-law, Xiao Mei. Not too much and not too little. Even if she earned a dollar a day, it'll be 30 yuan a month.

This was also an income.

"Grandma, really can't let my brother come over? Even if he doesn't work at the shop, it would be fine for him to sell clothes like Aunt (Xiao Mei)." Xu Sheng Mei said.

Mother Zhou said: "It's not a bad idea. However, whether your brother can come over, don't ask Grandma about this. Go to find your Aunt." Then she continued: "That's right. Both Er Ni and Hu Zi are attending evening cla.s.ses. Why didn’t you go, Sheng Mei?"

"I can't read." Xu Sheng Mei said.

"Then, ask Er Ni. Learn from her. Your aunt is very busy. She has no time to teach you this. You learn from Er Ni and Hu Zi and listen to your aunt. Nothing can go wrong by studying." Zhou Mu Said.

"You have to study more!" Father Zhou also agreed and said.

Both of them were taken around the Bei University by old w.a.n.g.

For the two of them, rural old people of the older generation, being able to stroll around the country's best university had them walking like they were floating.

Old w.a.n.g’s original words were: "Knowledge changes destiny. Studying and progress are required. Society is developing. Other things are not known yet. But what you learn is your own and you will never lose it for a lifetime."

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, who had attended literacy cla.s.s for a few days, deeply agreed.

The rest they can't understand, but they did understand the sentence 'what you learn is your own and you will never lose it for a lifetime'.

So knowing that Four Daughter-in-law had arranged for their grandson and granddaughter to go to evening cla.s.ses, both Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were delighted.

Xu Sheng Mei responded: "I know I have to study but I had been delayed by my mother. Hu Zi and Er Ni both went to school before. I don't understand anything now."

"Take your time studying and you'll get." Mother Zhou said: "Your aunt had also attended a literacy cla.s.s before. Now, look how brilliant she is? She entered a place like Bei University as a teacher."

W

hen she and her old partner followed old w.a.n.g around Bei University, they had gone to the lecture room to see Fourth Daughter-in-law. She stood on the podium and spoke in a foreign language. That sight was pleasing to the eye.

Mother Zhou felt that she had never gained so much face in her life.

"Grandma, you think of me too highly. How many miles does it take to find someone like Aunt?" Although Xu Sheng Mei was a little afraid of her aunt, she had to admit that her aunt was really the most capable among the women she had ever seen.

She created another small workshop clothe shop and hired workers as well as starting a small clothing factory. And she was still teaching at Bei University. How many things can one person do?

"Your uncle is lucky." Mother Zhou grinned.

Her youngest son was indeed blessed. By marrying such a wife, he basically had nothing to worry about.

Xu Sheng Mei didn't want to talk about this. She still wanted to introduce her brother. And her younger sisters too.

After all, life here was so good. The countryside couldn't compare.

What's more, her mother knew how to make clothes. If she comes here, she can also help out in the small workshop.

But these words can only be held in her heart. She dared not say them.

Before nine o'clock, Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin both returned.

Mother Zhou asked, "It's getting colder and colder here. Is business starting to decline?"

"My fourth sister-in-law said that she had arranged for a batch of men's cotton-padded clothes. Business shouldn't be bad then." Zhou Xiao Mei replied in a good mood.

Sure enough, it was right to follow her fourth sister-in-law.

Business was better tonight. She made more than a yuan.

"Da Lin, let's not go hawking ware tomorrow. Instead, take my parents to the bathhouse to take a wash." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"Okay." Su Da Lin nodded with a smile.

"Aunt, can I go with you and grandma tomorrow?" Xu Sheng Mei asked.

"Sure. Come here to eat and we will leave after six o'clock. While you're at it, ask Fourth Sister-in-law if she is going." Zhou Xiao Mei responded.

Xu Sheng Mei nodded.

Most of the time, Xu Sheng Mei stayed here to sleep. There are a few rooms here. She slept in the study room alone.

The next morning, she returned.

In other words, there was only Zhou Er Ni in the dumpling shop. Zhou Er Ni wasn't afraid at all. There was nothing to be afraid of. The door was firmly locked.

If she had to admit the apologetic truth, sleeping on her own was more peaceful. Nevermind that Xu Sheng Mei had stinky feet as she didn't like to wash her feet frequently, she also yelled and talked in her sleep.

Lin Qing He's men's clothing store was completely renovated in only three days. Although it was agreed with w.a.n.g Yuan that the order will be ready in half a month, Lin Qing He still went ahead and took some back to open the store.

The subsequent goods will be received later.

The menswear's business wasn't as good as that as womenswear. Still, it wasn't bad. On the first day it opened, 13 cotton-padded clothes were sold. On the second day, they sold a little more, almost 20 pieces.

The way it was, was pretty good. However, it was far away from womenswear's explosive business model.

It won't lose money. Just manage it as it was.

Zhou Xiao Mei knew that the cotton-padded clothes had arrived. She came over and took some of them out to sell on the street. Fourth Sister-in-law allowed her five dimes profit.

It was sold until November. It snowed, so no more street selling.

At this time, she can saw the benefits of self-employment.

The snow had more or less affected business. The few store's businesses had dropped a little, but it was still okay.

Lin Qing He had a rare opportunity to finished cla.s.s early that afternoon, so she came to see Zhou Qing Bai: "Want to go to the bathhouse?"

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his wife. Seeing her deep smile, the corner of his mouth also raised and said, "Wait for Second to get out of cla.s.s first."

When Zhou Xuan came over after cla.s.s, Zhou Qing Bai pa.s.sed the work in the shop to him and said that they would eat by themselves at night.

Then he went home with his wife to get clothes and go to the bathhouse.

After taking a wash, the two of them came to the restaurant to eat roast duck and enjoyed their together time.

"We filled our stomach, now it's time to go home." Lin Qing He looked at her Qing Bai.

Zhou Qing Bai nodded. He settled the bill and went home with his wife. The couple went to bed early that night.

When Zhou Kai, Hu Zi, and the others closed the shops and went home to watch TV until ten o'clock, they saw Zhou Qing Bai coming out to pour a cup of water and mix it with honey before bringing it back to the room.

All three half-grown lads were clueless.
