The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 78 (Part 4)

That's right, if it was just a salary, how could Li Dayuan be interested in it? His appetite has been spoiled, even if he has lost his job, he still doesn't like jobs without money.

The monthly salary at the Ministry of Transport is just over 100 yuan, which is about the same as when I was in the county, and has not increased.

But they are also happy to do it, because they can make money out of it. They can make several thousand dollars every year, and sometimes as much as seven or eight thousand!

This is the big head and the key point.

Salary is not important.

Zhou Chuan also understood and said, "But there is no other way. Given the current situation, how about you go and buy the goods yourself and follow Guobin to sell home appliances?"

"Where do you sell insurance yourself? You'll be targeted by thieves. Guobin is working with others." Li Dayuan said.

Such a big business is indeed not something that can be opened casually. There are many thieves. Even though Han Guobin has people like Lao Si to keep an eye on it, there are still two or three people who take turns sleeping on the floor in the shop at night.

Zhou Chuan said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Go ask Guo Bin."

Li Dayuan naturally came to ask Han Guobin, to test the waters. Han Guobin smiled and said, "If you want to come, I definitely welcome you, but I don't believe you can afford the salary level here. There is no extra money."

Li Dayuan sighed and said, "I don't know what to do now. Do you have any good ideas? How about we work together?"

"I opened a new home appliance store over there and invested a lot of capital in it. Now you want to be a partner with me, but I can't come up with the money," said Han Guobin.

He didn't want to cooperate with Li Dayuan. They could be friends, but cooperation was out of the question.

He never gossips about Xu Yumei, but Han Guobin knows what kind of person she is. If they cooperate with each other, they might not even be friends with Li Dayuan in the future. So forget it.

Li Dayuan said, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"What can I say? Doing business is definitely risky. I was able to run my home appliance business because someone shared the risk with me. The rest are all food businesses." Han Guobin said, "I can't give you any advice on home appliance businesses, but for my own business, it's OK. Find a shop in a good location and the business will be OK."

Li Dayuan asked, "How much money can a grocery store like yours make in a month?"

"It depends on how you run it, but as long as you're not too bad at business, you can at least make more than 200 yuan a month," said Han Guobin.

The grocery store run by his wife can now earn about a thousand yuan a month, and it will be more by the end of the year.

But his wife did not go through any middlemen. For example, when she bought goods from Han Guoli and Song Xiaoyu, he paid them at wholesale prices, so the profit was naturally cut.

But Han Guobin didn't think it was a big deal. He built a granary in the suburbs and stored various goods in it. He also hired retired soldiers from other villages to raise and guard the dogs. Don't those things cost money?

Of course, it's not just about looking after the warehouse, as that would be a waste of talent. You have to do both buying and moving goods, and the salary is not that easy to get.

However, if you keep running a shop, you can still make 200 yuan a month. As for whether you can break through 300 yuan, that depends on your personal ability.

Compared with the current work level, this income is undoubtedly high, but Li Dayuan, who has earned a lot of money, is still not very satisfied.

Two hundred dollars a month, what's the point?

After Li Dayuan returned, he casually told his wife Xu Yumei about it. Xu Yumei was very anxious because a man would have no source of income if he lost his job!

What should she do? Although the family has saved some money, she has also lost a lot of money playing mahjong.

If I don’t have a source of income in the future, won’t I be able to play mahjong?

So when Xu Yumei heard Li Dayuan come back and talk about opening a shop and earning 200 yuan a month, she immediately agreed!

"You still like it?" Li Dayuan looked at her in surprise.

"Why wouldn't I look down on it? It's just two hundred yuan a month. If you work hard, you might even make three or four hundred!" Xu Yumei said, and then snorted in her heart. The main thing about opening a shop in the county is that if there really is any vixen in the county in the future, she will be cut off!

It's just that a philandering man will always be philandering no matter where he is. Since Xu Yumei strongly agreed, Li Dayuan opened a shop and got all the goods from Han Guobin.

Li Mei, who almost had a relationship with Han Guolin, happened to move here. After the last incident, she moved away. She still owed Han Guolin ten dollars, and when she saw that the shop was open, she came here to buy food.

After a few visits, they became familiar with each other. Li Dayuan knew that this was a poor divorced woman living alone with a child, so he gave her a discount with a wave of his hand.

Li Mei called him "Brother Da Yuan" all the time, and was very affectionate to him. From time to time, she would ask him to buy things on credit.

The summer vacation was almost over. In mid-August, Han Hang's Han Zhou and Chen Bing came back with their little brother.

They stayed at their cousin's house for about a month.

When the four of them came back, their skin was two degrees darker. Chen Bing's skin was not as good as theirs, and it turned into a piece of charcoal.

"Where have you been?" Ma Yuling couldn't help but ask after seeing this.

"Mom, you don't know how hard our life has been these days. My cousin gets up every morning for a run, and the four little tigers have to go with us. You don't know how tired we are." Chen Bing said with grievance.

"Come on, can a morning run get you tanned like this? I heard your aunt call and say that you go to the beach every day, that's why you are tanned like this!" Ma Yuling snorted coldly.

"That's how it was exposed to the sun." Chen Rou said.

The camp is close to the sea, and it only takes an hour and a half by bike to reach the beach. Su Mianmian said they went there to swim.

But everyone was careful to swim in that shallow sea.

It's clean over there, and there's the sea. It's different from here, where rivers are not rare, but the sea is extremely rare.

I go there to swim basically every day. With the sun like this, wouldn't I get tanned like this?

But it’s true, those little brats have all become much stronger. They were brought back in the hot summer and their bodies were all smelly, so we sent them directly to the bathhouse to take a bath.

Chen Rou came over and called Su Mianmian to let her know that she was safe.

If the four boys go there, Chen Rou will definitely not let Su Mianmian take care of their food and accommodation. How big will their appetites be?

Chen Rou knew that Su Mianmian would not accept money, so she told the eldest brother and the others to go there and buy the rice and carry it over. They carried two bags of rice, and she asked them to buy other dishes every now and then. She had told them all about it before they went.

Su Mianmian also knew Chen Rou's character, so she didn't push her too much. She just let her be and took care of other aspects.

When they were about to hang up the phone, Sanhu hurriedly said, "Mom, mom, I want to talk to Aunt Wu!"

"What do you want to talk about?" Su Mianmian said.

"Fifth Aunt, Fifth Aunt!" Sanhu shouted on the other end of the phone.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Let Sanhu come over and listen."

Sanhu came over to answer the phone and said, "Wugu, can I go to your place to study after I graduate from high school?"

"Ask your parents. If they agree, then there will be no problem on my side." Chen Rou laughed. "Your brother Hang is going to Beijing to attend university this year. By then, the bed will be empty."

When Sanhu heard that his fifth aunt agreed, he was extremely happy, but Su Mianmian had already grabbed the phone and told Sanhu to stop dreaming. She chatted with Chen Rou for a few more words before hanging up.

Chen Rou went home with a smile and prepared a delicious meal for the boys.

We let them eat a large plate of fried chicken, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs stewed with tomatoes, and a loofah soup. After eating, we sent them to sleep. They must be tired after sitting in the car for such a long time, and they couldn’t sleep well on the train.

"Mom, Sanhu said he wants to come here to attend high school in the future. Is that okay?" The fourth little boy yawned and asked his mother before walking into the house.

"As long as your cousin and aunt agree, our family will do it. But don't hold out hope. Going to school here will cost you extra living expenses and tuition. You won't be able to save much studying and living over there." Chen Rou said.

"Oh, I see." Little Lao Si felt a little regretful. During this summer vacation, he and his cousin Sanhu had established a very deep revolutionary friendship and was looking forward to coming here.

Sanhu himself was also very tempted, but now it seems that he probably can't come.
