 Chapter 331. Profit from the south

When Zhou Xuan brought Wu Ni and Zhou Yang over, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai had already accumulated enough stock of summer clothes for the clothing store.

As for the dumpling shop, there was nothing to worry about. The flour, pork, and other fillings were all provided by fixed suppliers. If it ran out, Zhou Xuan can go notify and get it delivered.

So, that day, Lin Qing He announced: "Tomorrow, your dad and I are going to travel. Maybe I can bring you some good things back this time. Watch the shop properly."

"Fourth Aunt, where are you going to travel?" Zhou Wu Ni asked curiously.

"Go to the south for a wander." Lin Qing He replied.

"Mom, can't I go with you? I'm this old now. I definitely don't need you to worry about me. If I actually go, it will be completely fine." Zhou Gui Lai said.

Although the stinky boy was only thirteen years old, he was 1.7 meters tall and monkey smart. But really, he would dare to go south if he got the money.

But Lin Qing He wouldn't let him: "Obediently stay at home. When you are as old as your eldest brother, I won't stop you then and go wherever you like to go."

Seeing that the naughty child was unwilling to submit, she began to sigh: "After raising you with much difficulty and I can finally order you around a bit. I want to go out with your dad and see the world. After working hard for half of life, we can have a good life now. You still refuse to let us. Your old mom's heart..."

"Okay. Go, go. I wish my parents all the best." Zhou Gui Lai said at once.

"Then it's settled. You guys watch the store." Lin Qing He stated and then took Zhou Qing Bai out.

"Where are Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt going?" Zhou Wu Ni asked.

"At this time, they must be going to the cinema." Zhou Gui Lai answered.

Hu Zi, Zhou Er Ni, and Xu Sheng Mei had been here for a long time, so they were almost used to it. While Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni were obviously dumbfounded.

"This couple is that carefree. Just get used to it." Zhou Gui Lai patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder and said.

Although there was the addition of Zhou Wu Ni and Zhou Yang, the place was still sufficient.

Zhou Wu Ni went to sleep with Zhou Er Ni and Xu Sheng Mei. Zhou Yang can camp on the floor at home. So, there was no problem at all.

Let Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai go sleep in their parents' room. Hu Zi and Zhou Yang can rest in their room. It was pretty spacious.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went south the next day, leaving the house to these half-grown boys and girls without any burden.

The accounts were left to Zhou Xuan, a prospective student of Bei University. Anyway, it was close to Bei University and he was already familiar with Bei University. Even if the study year start early, there would be no problem.

Besides, old Wang will be watching over them.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai headed down. On the road, Lin Qing He taught Zhou Qing Bai Cantonese.

Zhou Qing Bai studied hard, but he couldn't help it. He had no talent in language. He hadn't even mastered a few phrases after the journey.

Lin Qing He said, "Did you do it on purpose? Want me to bring you around?"

Zhou Qing Bai smirked. It wasn't intentional. He couldn't grasp it.

"Really. Without a wife like me covering you, what a big man like you to do?" Lin Qing He found a sense of existence and stated.

"En. Can't live without Wife." Zhou Qing Bai nodded seriously.

Lin Qing He extremely pleased, so she gave him a tomato to eat. She munched her own as she read her book. Zhou Qing Bai read the newspaper rest of the way.

Zhou Qing Bai received a lot of information from the newspaper. Many places had ten thousand yuan households springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

In the early 1980s, the ten-thousand-thousand households were also gold-letter signboards. As commendation, they could hit the headline. It was kind of like a matter of glory.

At this time last year, Zhou Qing Bai wanted to strive for ten-thousand-yuan households. But after being a profiteer last year, his household was regarded as several ten-thousand-yuan households.

So his ambition was weakened.

Not to mention what they earned from being a profiteer, his wife's clothing that opened this year had almost reached 10,000 yuan. Whatever short can be made up with his dumpling shop. Then they basically reached it.

In the second half of the year, the profit of the two shops can make another 10,000 yuan.

Zhou Qing Bai's idea was very simple. His wife said that in the future each piece of land in the capital will be like gold. There will be a lot of room for a price of one hundred and two hundred thousand yuan.

This was simply a sky-high price to this man. Something inconceivable to him.

Since the house price will be so expensive in the future, should they buy more? After all, they got three sons. Each gets one in the future and then, as his wife said, leave a few properties and a few shops to collect rent. If there was a shortage of money, sell one and use it as an expense fund.

This was also along his line of thought.

He didn't plan to work in the dumpling shop for a lifetime. He will leave it to his three sons in the future. Once his three sons get married and start their own careers, it is impossible for him to ask for money from his sons according to his personality.

So he had to listen to his wife. They still have to prepare their own pension money.

When they got to the south, the couple went to work.

TVs, watches, electric fans, radios, and other electrical appliances were collected in huge quantities. Then they were moved to other places.

After making a fortune, they came over and bought a batch of Yan brand sewing machines.

A Yan brand sewing machine cost 150 yuan in their hometown, but in the south, a sewing machine of this kind only cost 115 yuan. Because Lin Qing He needed a lot, she got ten sewing machines. So even one was 110 yuan, which Lin Qing He gained from bargaining.

The other party originally didn't plan to cut the price. However, he was overwhelmed by Lin Qing He's speech.

Zhou Qing Bai stood beside her. He looked at his wife as if he was looking at a beautiful fairy.

Finding a place with no one, they put away the ten sewing machines. Lin Qing He took Zhou Qing Bai on the journey back to their hometown. It was only mid-August now.

It was no problem to go back earlier.

"Let's keep a TV set and an electric fan for Father and Mother to use. The others aren't needed. Can't help Xiao Mei too much." Lin Qing He said.

When rising, it's gratitude. When fighting, it's hatred. Although she had been friends with Zhou Xiao Mei for many years, this was how relationships worked. One must have a sense of limit. No matter how strong the relationship, a limit was needed for a longer relationship.

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

The TV set and the electric fan was to be filial to his father and mother. As for his younger brother-in-law and younger sister, let them earn it for themselves.

They already helped them find a place to live and a shop to pave their path. There was really no need to do anything else.

The couple hopped onto the train to their hometown.

They were both tired these days, so both of them fell asleep. They felt more energetic when they woke up.

There was no one else in this carriage, so Lin Qing He began to count their income this time. The income was not very much. After buying ten sewing machines, they still had a profit of almost 20,000 yuan.
