The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

She turned to them and asked, "What do you want to do today?"

"Grandpa and grandma said they would take us to the park to play," Xiaoyun's voice was full of anticipation, and her little hands clenched into fists with excitement.

"Then let's go find grandpa and grandma after breakfast," Xu Xiufang agreed, with tenderness in her eyes.

Her parents' love for Sanbao and Xiaoyun is beyond words. Xu Xiufang also hopes that the children can spend more time with their elders and enjoy the family happiness between generations.

"Okay!" Xiaoyun's voice was clear and loud, full of the cheerfulness that is unique to children.

After a hearty breakfast, everyone dressed neatly, and Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi took the two little ones back to the Xu family in the old city.

The air is filled with the unique freshness of the morning, and the streets in the early morning light appear particularly peaceful and beautiful.

In order to take care of Dabao and Erbao who lived far away in the suburbs, Xu's mother left home early.

Father Xu was waiting at home, ready to take Xiaobao and Xiaoyun to the park to enjoy a happy time between grandfather and grandchildren.

As soon as the children went out, Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi chose to walk home, walking through the ancient streets full of life.

The old locust trees on both sides cast mottled shadows, and the breeze brings a hint of coolness.

By the time they entered the house, it was almost noon. Xu Xiufang was a little tired from walking all the way. She fell on the bed and murmured, "Oh, I'm so tired."

Xie Yi poured her a glass of warm water with concern, and looked at his wife's slightly flushed cheeks with tenderness in his eyes.

Xu Xiufang took the cup of water, took two sips, and then slumped down on the bed again. She looked at Xie Yi and said seriously, "Brother Yi, do you have any ideas?"

Xie Yi drank the rest of the water, looked deep in his eyes, and asked, "What do you think?"

Xu Xiufang thought for a moment and slowly said, "I think setting up a stall may not be a good idea. It's too cumbersome, and it's hard work in the wind and sun, and the money you earn is all sweat money."

Xie Yi nodded in agreement. They all knew that the competition for street vendors in the market was extremely fierce, and most of them made a living by selling snacks. If they really wanted to get involved, they would probably just go with the flow.

Just now when they were strolling in the streets, they learned that the average daily net income of setting up stalls was only ten to thirty yuan, which might be a considerable extra income for those working class people with meager salaries, but it was not attractive to them, a couple with special spatial abilities.

"Yes, indeed," Xie Yi agreed, "What's more, we have the ingredients in the space, the cost is almost negligible, and the profit can naturally be multiplied several times. Moreover, the quality of those ingredients is impeccable, and the food made is definitely better than most products on the market. Coupled with our craftsmanship, it is not difficult to make money."

Xu Xiufang nodded, then changed the subject: "However, being able to do something doesn't mean you have to do it.

Setting up a stall means leaving home early and returning late, and the hard work is not proportional to the income.

Besides, we already have over 100,000 yuan in savings, which is not a small sum in this era.

Most of the daily expenses can be solved by the space, so this money can be completely ignored.

Therefore, there is no need to sacrifice the quality of life for a little hard-earned money. "

"We have to find a more efficient and valuable way," Xu Xiufang continued to think, "Setting up stalls and selling clothes are good methods, but they are not a long-term solution."

Xu Xiufang's eyes met Xie Yi's, and they both understood each other tacitly. A new idea emerged at the same time - waste recycling.

In the 1980s, the waste recycling industry was in its golden age, and many people took advantage of this opportunity to achieve a huge change in their lives.

At that time, people were more concerned about basic survival needs and had a weak awareness of resource recycling.

In addition, in the early days of reform, the public's pursuit of quick profits led to the loss of a large number of cultural relics, antiques and even precious prescriptions and cookbooks to the public.

"Recycling waste is not only a way to reintegrate resources, but also to discover potential cultural relics, antiques and precious materials," Xu Xiufang said with a gleam in her eyes. "In this way, the benefits are far greater than setting up a stall, right?"

Xie Yi pondered for a moment and raised his only concern: "This job may be dirty and tiring. I don't mind, but I feel sorry for you."

Xu Xiufang was well aware of her own weaknesses. As a clean person, she really couldn't stand living around garbage for a long time.

But she had a plan in mind: "We can ask for help and form a small team."

Xie Yi understood what he meant. They had both been studying business management books recently and had a preliminary understanding of teamwork.

"Wang Degui is unemployed, and so are several of his brothers. We can consider hiring them."

Xu Xiufang's eyes flashed with affirmation, "We provide the funds, they provide the labor, provide the venue, contact partners, solve the transportation problem, and they are responsible for the specific waste sorting and recycling. We only need to guide them in identifying value and sorting techniques, and pay their wages on time or by quantity."

"Let's go around in the afternoon and find a suitable venue," Xie Yi suggested.

"Okay, I'll talk to Wang Degui after the venue is confirmed."

Xu Xiufang readily agreed, and they believed that Wang Degui and the others would be happy to accept this stable source of income.

The couple is full of expectations for the future, and their plans seem to have seen the dawn of success.

However, the location of the waste recycling station needs to be independent to avoid affecting residents. The city is densely populated and the smell will inevitably affect the surrounding neighbors. They decided to look for a suitable place in the suburbs, hoping that there would be a suitable place there.

Although the search was not easy, they were full of hope. They believed that in the near future, this small space would be the starting point for their career to take off.

The key point is that both of them are dressed very elegantly, well-dressed, and have extraordinary demeanor. They don't look like ordinary renters or people who collect waste.

This image instead made the landlords feel suspicious, with their suspicious eyes hovering between their exquisite appearance and requests for rent, and ultimately they did not have the courage to hand over the keys.

After running around all day, when night fell, Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi sat face to face in a small restaurant, their eyes filled with helplessness but also determination.

After some discussion, they made a bold decision - since renting a house was not a good idea, they might as well skip this step and choose to buy a property.

The house buying and selling procedures in the city are complicated and the prices are prohibitive, but in comparison, the environment in the suburbs is much friendlier and there are more choices.

So, the next morning, the two drove to the suburbs, hoping to find a place to stay there.

The sun was shining and the breeze was not dry. After several comparisons and searches, they chose an old house with a small courtyard in a quiet suburban town. Although it was two slightly shabby houses, they had a warm atmosphere of life.
