There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Do you have enough money? Do you want mom to support you?

Wuyi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, Mom, what do you mean, the more the merrier?

I didn't say that.

Wuyi put down the book, stood up and poured her a cup of tea, Some time ago, a buddy asked me if I wanted to buy Blue Army Mail, and the price I gave him increased a lot.

Zhou Jiao took the cup and glanced at him with a half-smile.

Of course, we don't care about this small amount of money, so there is no way we will take action. Wuyi moved a stool, sat down next to her, and looked at her, Mom, my brother Shitou asked me to give him an idea?

oh?

I went to visit him before I came back. He said that one of his classmates went to the south during the summer vacation and bought a lot of jeans and watches. I heard that he made a lot of money. He asked me if I could do it.

Zhou Jiao took a sip of tea and nodded thoughtfully.

I see that he has a child, so he must be tight on money. But if he goes to the south to compete with others for food, I guess he will not be able to bear it.

Zhou Jiao pressed on to his words, So?

Wu Yi chuckled twice, How about asking him to buy more stamps from me?

Zhou Jiao suddenly laughed and slapped him on the forehead, Stop being so mean-spirited to your mother!

Wuyi rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: It's not that it's inconvenient to squeeze into the train to go to the south in the cold weather. Let alone the frequent speculation on the train, who can take responsibility if something happens to him, right?

How can Zhou Jiao not understand her son? She squinted at him and said, You are kind!

Wu Yi spread his hands and said, I can't help it. My grandma asked us three brothers to look after Brother Shitou when we went back during the summer vacation. My second uncle is also very kind to us three brothers.

Zhou Jiao pondered for a while, then raised her right hand on the armrest and tapped her fingers a few times, and then said: His situation is different from yours. It doesn't hurt to buy some stamps as an investment if you have spare money.

Wuji nodded.

Stone should have told you more than this, right?

Wu Yi raised his thumbs up and said, As expected of my mother, she is so smart!

Zhou Jiao glared at him angrily. This kid has imitated his father so much that he always praises himself at every opportunity. She doesn’t want sugar-coated bullets!

Wuyi laughed happily, Actually, what Brother Shitou means is that he wants to be a second-rate dealer but is afraid of taking political risks. He has confidence in the county, but here he is afraid that he will not be able to keep it.

Zhou Jiao: ...

So it's hard for me to come up with any ideas, right? I said I'd come back and discuss it with you and my dad, but I haven't replied to him yet. But I thought that if my second aunt is going to stay in the capital for a long time, it would be good to open a bookstore near the school.

There is no risk involved in this, the quality is not bad, and of course the profit will not be low. We will sell old and new books together, set up a rental reading room, and sell some steamed buns, tea and so on.

Zhou Jiao patted his arm and said with a smile: No matter how good you think, it's useless. Your second uncle is at home, and she must go back. Also, opening a bookstore is not that simple. Houses near the school are even more tense. Looking for someone It may not be possible, especially if I owe this favor, I might as well do something bigger for him.

Wuyi's eyes lit up, For example?

Zhou Jiao saw that her son was interested, so she didn't mind talking more, For example, if I find a small clothing factory in the street that stocks fabrics, wouldn't it be better than if I go to school to find someone?

Another example is asking your Uncle Dayi to contact his relatives and bring a cart of electrical appliances and clothes from the south, following your aunt's path. With your Uncle Geng's connections, this business shouldn't be too profitable!

Another example is your Uncle Heizi. He has been in the printing factory for so many years and has many connections. He designed several Spring Festival couplets and printed a large number...

Wuyi immediately grabbed her arm, Mom, wait!

Zhou Jiao looked at him with a smile.

I know what you mean. There's too much other movement, Uncle Heizi, hehe... hmm?

Zhou Jiao smiled noncommittally, It's up to you.

Oh, my mother, you're so good. Wuyi hit his fist, Then Brother Shitou's matter will be solved, and I can still make some money to buy stamps.

as long as you are happy.

Haha...come on, mom, design some Spring Festival couplets for your son.

Zhou Jiao was pulled by him, and she happily followed his strength to stand up, I will serve you with pen and ink!

Okay~

She didn't mind letting Shitou follow her son to make a little money, so as not to sneak away to the south alone. If something happened, she would be ashamed of Zhang Laoer.

money? There are plenty of opportunities to make money.

It’s just that the time hasn’t come yet.

From her point of view, as for Shitou, he should strive to get good grades in school so that he can be assigned to a good unit in the future.

But he wasn't her biological son. As an aunt, she didn't want to say anything. With Zuo Lin here, he probably wouldn't let his grandson-in-law take risks.

But if Lin Juhua really returns to her hometown, it would be a pity to be stuck at home.

After so many years, what Zhou Jiao has never forgotten about Lin Juhua is her skillful hands and her talent in learning anything.

After Zhang Guoqing heard Zhou Jiao's idea, he couldn't help but be startled and asked again: What do you mean, let the second sister-in-law help the chef of the private restaurant and let her learn to cook?

Zhou Jiao touched her nose and said, Isn't it good? Forget it, I'll just mention it casually. If she learns a few tricks and opens her own private restaurant in two years, she won't have to worry about running out of money.

Zhang Guoqing waved his hand, No, it's a good idea. With a craft in hand and her second brother in the police station, she has a talisman.

That's what it means. She also has a son and a daughter at home. Relying on the second brother's salary will be very stressful. We can help them when they have difficulties, but after all, we are not as good as them making money on their own.

Zhang Guoqing nodded, That's the truth.

The most critical point is that the family's foundation was too weak after the second son bought a yard for Shitou, otherwise he would not have brought his brothers to make money this time.

The eldest brother has been like this for the rest of his life. The only promising sibling is his second brother, and he doesn't want him to be the only one in the old Zhang family.

As for the nephews?

After all, that is a matter for the next generation. He can't control so much, and he doesn't want to care so much. Their generation is a matter of the three Ping An brothers.

Then I'll contact my second brother tomorrow and see what he says. If my second sister-in-law wants to learn, she doesn't have to be in the capital. The lotus banquet we had before was made by a master with good skills.

Can people pass on their craftsmanship?

That's the second brother's business. If it doesn't work out, I'll look for another restaurant. The main thing is to get to know more master chefs and get involved in this circle. Once the business opens in two years, I can't just rely on my second sister-in-law to cook alone.

After hearing what he said, it seemed that he had a plan, so Zhou Jiao didn't say much.

She didn't pay much attention to how the Zhang Guoqing brothers discussed the arrangements afterwards. She only knew that Zhang Laoer was very excited about the plan.

Since Shitou was on winter vacation and was too busy after May Day, Lin Juhua postponed her return to her hometown and was already planning to spend the New Year first.
