Chapter 205. Can't stuff your mouth
Lin Qing He was clueless about this sister-in-law's plan.
Today a lot of meat buns were made. Cabbage & pork buns, pickled veg & pork buns, and BBQ pork buns.
Lin Qing He told Mother Zhou about the bun matter.
"Qingbai and I have eaten the steamed buns made by youngest brother-in-law. The taste is exceptional. I was thinking, if they are willing, they can open a steamed bun shop over there." Lin Qing He said.
Lin Qing He had never mentioned the matter of introducing the idea of opening a bun shop to Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin to Mother Zhou.
So Mother Zhou was delighted to hear this.
Actually, she didn't have any other thoughts. Youngest son opened a dumpling shop over there. But in the end, it was a sole family. If something happened, there was no help.
Wasn't this just a single branch bearing all difficulty?
That was why she wants to introduce some of her own family to go over. Which also meant having more support on the scene (through manpower).
It never came to this old lady. If Zhou Liu Ni goes over, she can't share much burden. She might even have the ability to ruin things.
Putting aside the rest, she responded to the matter of introducing her son-in-law to go over, Mother Zhou, “Once there, will the bun business do well?
"Buns at youngest brother-in-law's level usually won't do badly. The most important factor is how he manages it in the future. Opening a shop is almost like managing the relationships. And also, have to see if one have that fortune." Lin Qing He answered.
Not all cooks can open a restaurant by themselves. This can explain everything. Doing business wasn't a matter of a single sentence.
"When they're there, children's education is a problem." Mother Zhou continued.
"As for education. I still have some prestige, so it can be arranged." Lin Qing He replied.
The children's education wasn't a problem. The question was whether Su Da Lin has the courage to give up the current high-paying job.
This still required a certain amount of courage.
Su Da Lin's salary was now more than 60. Lin Qing He was around this level. Although it will increase in the next year, after all, her qualifications were still relatively low. Those with advanced qualifications can almost earn more than 100 yuan.
But in this kind of city, the income like Su Da Lin's was indeed quite good.
So whether Su Da Lin had the courage to abandon this job and go straight to the capital to start over, it was indeed a large decision.
Although Lin Qing He knew very well that Su Da Lin would never regret going to the capital to develop if he went. Since she knew the future direction. But Su Da Lin did not.
Can't use her standards to demand people.
But if Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei were to go, then she would definitely help. She'll take care of finding a shop and a place.
"Household registration is a real problem. If they live there for a long time, they can buy a house there in the future. If it's settled, it'll be easier," Lin Qing He said.
It wasn't that easy to settle the household registration at this time.
She had it easy because of Bei University's golden recruitment acceptance. The rest can only try?
Even if was Aunt Ma’s youngest son. He had to be tormented for a whole year and still hasn’t moved his household registration back.
"Can't the school help?" Mother Zhou asked.
"If they can help, I won't need Mother to bring it up? What friendship do I have with Xiao Mei." Lin Qing He laughed.
Mother Zhou was clear about it, so she said: "It's okay if they can't move their household registration temporarily. Have to go there first to see if it's suitable."
If they don't get used to it, it was fine to come back here. As least there was a way out.
Lin Qing He just smiled.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve. This year’s reunion dinner had Lin Qing He, Zhou Qing Bai, Father Zhou, and Mother Zhou.
"Da Wa and his brothers haven't come back. The house is quite deserted," remarked Mother Zhou.
"It's okay. Have you discussed this with Father? Do you want to go with us after the new year?" Lin Qing He asked.
"You father and I considered going over in summer." Mother Zhou responded unpon hearing this.
"How about during the summer vacation?" Lin Qing He glanced at Zhou Qing Bai and said, "At that time, Qing Bai and I will go around and travel. When we are finished, we will stop by at home to pick you up?"
"Where are you traveling in the summer? Is business bad then?" Mother Zhou asked.
"Reading ten thousand books isn't as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I am now an English teacher at Bei University. I have to have knowledge. Let Qing Bai will accompany me. If I go out alone, he will be worried." Lin Qing He casually answered.
"What about the dumpling shop?" Mother Zhou questioned.
"Let Er Wa and the others watch, it. Their god-grandfather is also there. So it won't be too busy." Lin Qing He said indifferently.
Next year eldest son won't have time. Wasn't there still second son and third son?
These two mischievous boys can run the place. 1.78 meter Zhou Xuan and 1.5 meter Zhou Gui Lai weren't vegetarians.
Yang Yang and Wu Ni will go over.
For adults, there was old Wang and Aunt Ma.
Also, Zhou Er Ni whom she wanted to take with her after the new year. Tonight, she will go talk with Eldest Sister-in-law. Eldest Sister-in-law had probably got it straight from Zhou Yang.
With so many people here, what can happen?
Mother Zhou assumed that Zhou Er Ni was going to watch the dumpling shop and thought since she was so big, it should be no problem. So she nodded and said nothing.
After the family ate, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came over to the old Zhou's house.
Zhou Qing Bai brought over some Mao Tai wine and chatted with his three brothers. Lin Qing He grabbed two packets of candies and gave them to her nephews and nieces to share.
Zhou Liu Ni got four pieces. She didn't forget to say, "Fourth Aunt, are there no red envelopes? This year, my uncle opened a dumpling shop and made a fortune, so you have to send us a red envelope."
"Sugar can't stuff your mouth." Third Sister-in-law reprimanded and then greeted Lin Qing He: "I've been waiting for you since I finished eating. Come over and chat with us. What good stuff have Fourth Brother eat this year? He's much fatter."
"I estimate he gained 30 jins." Eldest Sister-in-law grinned.
Simply putting Zhou Liu Ni's antic to the past.
"I don't know if Wu Ni mentioned it yet or not. I feel she and Yang Yang can’t keep up with the foundation, so let them go over to the capital when next year's summer vacation arrive. Er Wa just finished his entrance exam then. He can give them lessons." Lin Qing He said with a smile.
"Wu Ni told me when she came back. This girl is excited. But don't know if it'll be troublesome for them to go over?" Third Sister-in-law replied.
"Yang Yang was also thinking about going over. It's just if he goes over, accommodation is a problem." Eldest Sister-in-law pointed out.
"The place over there is a bit small but it's okay to camp on the floor. It's much more comfortable to sleep on a straw mat in the hall on a hot summer day." Lin Qing He responded.
They can sleep on the second floor of the dumpling shop. There were also two rooms in the apartment building.
Even if Er Ni, Wu Ni, and Yang Yang go over, it wasn't a problem.
