1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Business is to make money, and making money is to make life better. Life must be better than before." Lu Hao said.

"This house looks really big, much more spacious than the staff dormitory you two lived in before." Li Jinxiang said.

"This house is 85 square meters. The previous house was less than 30 square meters. It is nearly three times the size of that house." Lu Hao said, "There is a separate toilet and a separate kitchen in the room, which is very convenient."

"That's right. It was inconvenient to cook in that house before. I had to make room for myself in the house. It's crowded and unsafe. It's more troublesome than cooking in the countryside." Lu Liexing nodded, "Xiao Min is pregnant, cooking You have to do it yourself, don't let her do housework anymore."

"When I first came up, I saw that the stairs were quite narrow and steep, so you must be more careful."

"I know that." Lu Hao nodded, "I cook all the meals, and I will help her up the stairs."

"Then let's not sit still, let's go to the department store now? Is Xiao Min shopping in the department store? I should have known that you should not have come to pick us up. We can go directly to the department store. She is pregnant. , It’s not safe to be alone in a department store.” Li Jinxiang’s thoughts were all on his daughter-in-law.

I am afraid that the pregnant daughter-in-law will be harmed.

Lu Hao didn't explain, but took the old couple downstairs, drove Santana, and went to Wanjia Department Store.

When we arrived at the open space in front of Wanjia Department Store, the car was parked in the open space.

"Isn't there still some distance to the department store? What's the matter, you are not allowed to stop outside the department store?" After getting down, Lu Liexing asked.

"Stop, but this place has a better view, how about you take a look at this department store?" Lu Hao said with a smile.

Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang looked towards the department store.

The old couple didn't know that this department store was opened by their son, and the car was parked here just to let them take a good look at the overall situation of the department store.

"It's really lively. There are so many people. The business is very good." Lu Liexing said.

"That's right, people in the city are still rich, so many people buy things, like a small store in the village, how can there be so many people, even after a month, there are not so many people." Li Jinxiang said.

The two were shocked as they watched the people coming in and out of the department store.

Although I have been to Jiangcheng, the last time I came, it was a difficult journey, and I didn't have time to pay attention to the scenery when I arrived in the city, but this time, I have the leisure and mood to look a little more.

"The income in the village is definitely not comparable to the income in the city." Lu Hao said, "You can't make much money from farming, and we don't have more land than those. In places with a small population, the land is more than the population, and the family is tens of acres. Even hundreds of acres of land, even if there is not so much land, there are woodlands, there are hills, a family divides several hills, plant some economical trees, or pick some wild fruits and vegetables in the hills, including cash crops , and it’s much better than farming.”

"However, in the village there is at least a way out, there is a field, and no matter what, you can grow some food and have enough food and clothing. But in the city, if you are laid off and have no income, it will be very difficult. You can only pick up rubbish and rot Vegetable leaves."

The land is the way out.

Just like the role of the forest in flood control, the trees in the forest are a huge water reservoir, absorbing water from it and evaporating from the leaves. When the water in the soil is too large, the branches and leaves of the plants will absorb more water. More water plays a role of circulation and slow release.

Land can play a similar role when there are many laid-off workers and employment is very difficult.

"Don't just stand here, let's go and find Xiao Min." Li Jinxiang said.

She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be hit by someone, or something, so she didn't want to watch it outside for too long.

"Okay, let's go to the department store." Lu Hao said.

He led the two to the department store.

"Brother Ho."

"boss."

"Brother Hao, are these two your parents? Hello uncle, hello aunt."

Along the way, when I met the employees of the department store, I couldn't stop saying hello to Lu Hao. Knowing that they were Lu Hao's parents, I also greeted them kindly.

This made the old couple dumbfounded again.

The brain went down for a while, and I didn't react for a long time.

Why is my son greeted everywhere?

Following behind Lu Hao, when they arrived at Nini's breakfast shop, the old couple were still a little dazed and whispering.

"What's going on, why are so many people calling son the boss, Brother Hao?" Li Jinxiang asked his wife for his opinion.

"Is it a polite way of saying that people in the city call everyone the boss? Brother?" Lu Liexing was also a little puzzled.

"You didn't notice, it seems that these people are all employees of department stores, and they wear the same clothes. The young ones call their son the boss. Brother Hao, forget it for a long time, even the older ones also call them son Hao brother." Li Jinxiang said , "Is this department store opened by my son?"

"Don't talk nonsense, such a big department store is really opened by my son, so what's the deal? How much money do you have to make in a day? It's too exaggerated." Lu Liexing shook his head.

At this moment, Li Jinxiang and Lu Liexing also saw their daughter-in-law, Su Min, who was doing business in the breakfast shop.

"Xiao Min, why are you still picking up the plate, be careful." Li Jinxiang hurried over.

Lu Liexing also looked nervous.

"Mom and Dad, are you here today?" Su Min was surprised.

"In the morning, I received a call from Director Liu Fen of the Hanshuiqiao Sub-district Office, saying that my parents had arrived at our place and there was no one at home. Director Liu took them to the Sub-district Office to sit for a while. When I got the news, I drove there. , put the things in the house, and then drove to the department store together." Lu Hao said.

He simply told what happened.

"You baby, didn't I tell you? Xiao Min is pregnant, don't let her be busy, why do you let her work? This work should stop." Li Jinxiang said.

She looked at Su Min, "Your boss doesn't know you're pregnant? No matter how much money you have, your body is important, so you have to rest well. It's been a long time since I was pregnant with Nini, and you're so busy now. How can this be possible?"

"She is the boss." Lu Hao said with a smile, "She and Jiaojiao opened this breakfast shop together."

Lu Hao pointed to Chen Linjiao, "She is also an employee of a garment factory, she is a nice person and has good craftsmanship, so she opened a breakfast shop with Xiao Min and became the boss."

"It's amazing." Lu Liexing said, "The breakfast shop is pretty good."

Daughter-in-law became the boss!

Two female streamers partnered to open a breakfast shop.

"Xiao Min is pregnant, so you still have to pay more attention. If the breakfast shop is too busy, let Haozi help, don't let him be too idle." Li Jinxiang said.

She looked left and right at the breakfast shop.

Although the breakfast shop is not big, the tables and chairs are very clean, and in this short period of time, there are quite a few people who come to buy food.

I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law even more.

"If we knew about this situation, your father and I should have come here sooner." Li Jinxiang glared at his son.

Blame Lu Hao for not taking good care of Su Min.
