Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

"I'm not your sister!" Han Meimei looked at Chen Yan blankly.

Chen Yan quickly said, "Don't we have that kind of custom here? The kind called Bao Die! Sister Han, do you know about it?"

"Huh? I know that! My uncle's child was afraid that he couldn't be raised when he was young, so he found an old man in the village to take care of him and recognized him as his godfather and godmother!" Han Meimei nodded.

This is a local custom. If a child suffers from many diseases and is difficult to raise when he is young, the local people will look for a family with many children, find a godfather or godmother for the child, and pray that the child can grow up healthy.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "I am an educated youth from another place. It makes sense for me to find a godfather or godmother here. Doesn't that make you my sister?"

"This... I think so! Oh! Chen Zhiqing, you are an intellectual, but you have a very active brain!" Han Meimei said to Chen Yan excitedly, and then she chirped to Chen Yan, "My father is the director of a brick factory, and my mother is a worker in a meat processing factory! I told them about this, and they will definitely agree! Hehe!"

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment. His father was the director of a tile factory and his mother was a worker in a meat processing factory!

This is a nice family!

Then he felt relieved!

No wonder Han Meimei was arranged to work as a ticket collector in the cinema. This job is so leisurely and the income is not bad. I don’t know how many people are eyeing her. If she didn’t have some background, she really wouldn’t have been arranged here.

"Then it's settled! But, Sister Han, you can't tell your parents about this. Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Yan's heart moved, and he whispered to Han Meimei.

Han Meimei asked why.

"Just think about it! If your parents knew that I accepted them as my godparents just to do business secretly, I would feel so uncomfortable."

"That's right! How do we explain this?" Han Meimei said a little worriedly.

Chen Yan said, "When you get off work this afternoon, I'll go home with you and tell them about this. I'll say that I'm alone here, helpless, and I don't have any family. Sister Han, you and I have a good relationship, and you feel sorry for me, so..."

When Chen Yan said this, Han Meimei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's a good idea! Hehe!"

"That's fine! Sister Han, I..." Chen Yan nodded and was about to say something.

Han Meimei glared at Chen Yan and said, "You're still calling me Sister Han?"

"Well, sister!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

Han Meimei said happily, "That's right, brother!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Chen Yan said, "Sister! Just call me by my name! It feels weird to call me brother alone!"

Han Meimei hummed, then asked, "I remember you said before that you seemed to be married? Is my sister-in-law the husband's wife?"

When Chen Yan heard Han Meimei's question, he nodded. The image of Qin Yurou appeared in his mind, and his eyes suddenly softened.

"Yes! My wife's name is Qin Yurou! I'll bring her to the county town someday and bring her over for you to see!"

"That's great! I'll treat you to a meal then!" Han Meimei quickly adapted to the role of Chen Yan's sister and said generously.

Even at this moment, she forgot that she recognized Chen Yan as her brother, and her ultimate goal was to do business with Chen Yan and make money!

Han Meimei forgot, but Chen Yan did not.

However, seeing Han Meimei like this, Chen Yan was also very moved.

He could see that this adopted sister was not a mean person!

"Sister! That's settled then! But with this relationship, we won't be afraid even if the police come to investigate! They'll just give us a warning or confiscate our things! We're not afraid of that! But there's one thing we need to be careful about!"

"Chen Yan, you say!" Han Meimei came back to her senses and stared at Chen Yan, obviously wanting Chen Yan to pay attention.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment and whispered, "We can do this popcorn business in the short term! But if we keep doing it, there will be people who will get jealous. If they report it to the cinema's leaders, I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you!"

"Are you talking about this? It's okay, it's okay!" Han Meimei was a little nervous at first because Chen Yan was talking seriously, but after hearing the question Chen Yan asked, she immediately waved her hand and smiled carelessly and indifferently.

"Everything is okay? Sister, do you have a good relationship with the leaders?" Chen Yan asked curiously.

Han Meimei chuckled, "You don't know this, do you? Your brother-in-law is the captain of the projection team! He is also considered an employee of the cinema! Usually, it is your brother-in-law who arranges the screenings for the various teams! He still has a say in the cinema!"

"This... So that's how it is! I thought so! Then there's no problem!" Chen Yan was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile.

"Don't worry! Although your brother-in-law doesn't make much money from his job, he makes a living from it after all, and he has some connections in the cinema. Don't look down on me as just a ticket collector in the cinema, but I can still make a living in the whole cinema!" Han Meimei looked like a big sister.

"Sister, you are so awesome!" Chen Yan gave a thumbs up.

"It's okay! I'm not as good as you. By the way, Chen Yan, if you have something to do, just go and do it! I'll sell you this popcorn! From now on, don't talk about money! We are brother and sister, and I won't hide it from you! I actually just like the braised pork in the state-owned restaurant! You gave me one dollar a day before, and I saved it up and on Sunday, I took your brother-in-law and others to have a meal of braised pork! I didn't enjoy it at that time, so this happened today! I'm telling you the truth, don't laugh at me!" Han Meimei said embarrassedly.

"How can I do that! You're my sister, if I laugh at you, I'm just laughing at myself!" Chen Yan smiled, and then something came to his mind, "Sister! If I continue to sell this popcorn like before, to be honest, I'll definitely make 20 to 30 yuan a day. And as everyone eats it and gets tired of it, I think it'll be even harder to sell!"

Han Meimei nodded immediately. "Actually, I discovered it too! In the first two days, they were sold out in a short time, but these days it's taking a while! I was planning to wait a few days and tell you if it doesn't work. I didn't expect you to discover it too! What should I do?"

"We have to change our sales ideas! In the case of market saturation, we must change product varieties, provide better services, and..." Chen Yan had already predicted this situation and now directly expressed his ideas.

But after saying a few words, he realized that Han Meimei was looking at him with a confused expression.

"Chen Yan, what are you talking about sales, market saturation, service and so on? What are all these? I don't understand a word you said!" Han Meimei said to Chen Yan with embarrassment, blushing.

Chen Yan was speechless!

He actually forgot!

In this era, under the planning of the planned economy, these words from the market economy are nowhere to be seen!

Forget about Han Meimei. Even if you bring the director of the Lanshan County Revolutionary Committee over, he won’t understand!

"Sister! These are not important! I have a way to solve this problem, but I need your cooperation in some areas! When we make money, we will split it equally!"
