Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 45 The Zhou family’s plan to make money (1)

Zhao Yuzhen was counting what Zhou Guoqiang was thinking. Seeing her husband sighing, Zhao Yuzhen regretted mentioning this:

"His father, don't worry too much. I'm just saying it. I don't mean to blame you. We have many children, so it's inevitable that our life will be difficult. We can just wait a few years and wait until the children grow up. There are no buildings in our village. There are many families with tile-roofed houses, and ours is not the only one.”

Zhou Guoqiang knew that Zhao Yuzhen was saying something nice to comfort him, and the look on his face looked better:

"Damn it, several houses in our village have built houses again this year. You are right, we have many children, and it is precisely because we have more children that we should find ways to save money to build houses. Otherwise, we will wait until Erya in two years She's grown up, where will she sleep? Besides, Dabao is a girl, so she can't always live in the same room as Dabao and Xiaobao! If we build several tile-roofed houses, let Dabao and Xiaobao live in one room. Let’s live in one room, how nice that would be!”

Zhao Yuzhen never thought that building a house is the first important thing for rural people. You can tell which family is doing well just by looking at the house.

Every family in the village who had some ability to make money had built tile-roofed houses. When she was chatting with other women, she heard that many families were buying bricks and saving them to build houses later.

Apart from being envious, Zhao Yuzhen was also worried about her family. If things continued like this, her own house would still be a thatched house, no matter how many houses in the village became tile-roofed houses.

She has thought about building a house countless times in her mind, but she has never mentioned it in front of her husband. Since this topic was brought up today, Zhao Yuzhen said what she had been thinking about for a long time:

"His father, we are neither lazy nor lacking in energy. We are busy at home every day. These few acres of land are enough for both of us to work every year, but the food cannot be sold for much except for the family. The eggs laid by chickens and ducks It’s just enough to buy some oil, salt and household expenses. You can save a lot by selling the pigs at the end of the year, but it’s only once a year. You work hard and don’t earn much. I think, let’s do it. You have to find a way to make money.”

Zhou Guoqiang agreed: "Damn, what you said has touched my heart. There are many people in our village who go out to work for others and earn cash. How about I follow suit and do some work?"

Zhao Yuzhen thought for a while: "We don't have work every day. Besides, we have a big stall outside our house and you can't do it even if you're not at home. Otherwise, let's do some business!"

 Doing business?

 Zhou Guoqiang hesitated after hearing Zhao Yuzhen's proposal: "What business should we do?"

Zhao Yuzhen had already thought about it in her mind, and had to admit that Zhao Yuzhen was a smart rural woman, more flexible than her husband: "I have already thought about it, we will sell things at the market. Every three days, The market only lasts for one morning, so I can make some money without delaying my work at home. "

Zhou Guoqiang thought this idea was a good one and nodded in agreement: "It's a good idea. I think it can work. Dabao and Daya have gone to school. You can take Xiaobao and Erya with you. We will go to the market to sell things together and take turns taking care of them. Children. It’s only half a day, so it won’t delay the family affairs. But what can we sell?”

"I haven't thought about this in detail," Zhao Yuzhen said, "How about we discuss it carefully."

The two discussed this issue for a long time, but it was not feasible to sell vegetables. At that time, every family had a small vegetable plot, and most of them could make enough food for themselves before taking it to the market to exchange for some money. If you want to sell some cloth or something, it would be best to have a car as the cost is a bit high. If you sell some small groceries, the profit will be small and the capital will be recovered slowly. If I were selling some tofu, I would have to work from dawn to dusk to make the tofu. It would be too hard, and I would be too busy raising children.

The two people here were discussing what kind of business they should do. Zhou Xiaoyun, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore: "Dad, you often kill pigs for others to earn some manual labor. It's too little money. You might as well buy pigs and kill them at home." Let’s sell pork again. Selling pork is more profitable than selling other things.”

In fact, it is not eavesdropping. Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen were talking in their own room. Zhou Xiaoyun walked from his own room, passed through the small main room, and then to his parents' house, which was only a few steps away.

Zhou Xiaoyun originally wanted to come over and talk to Zhao Yuzhen about Dabao, but she felt deeply after hearing her parents' conversation.

 In my previous life, my family had always been a relatively poor family in the village, and was almost the last one to build a tile-roofed house in the village. She had secretly complained before that her parents were incompetent and even their children lived a frugal life.

 But overhearing the conversation between her parents gave her a new understanding of her parents. Maybe her parents were not particularly smart and capable people, but their love for their children was unquestionable.

 Can I blame my parents entirely for my alienation and indifference from my parents in my previous life? Don’t you have any responsibility if you refuse to communicate with your parents, refuse to consider your parents, and only consider yourself?

Since both Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen have the idea of ​​making money to build a house so that their children can live a better life, she naturally cannot stand idly by. She has no money and no ability, at least she can give advice to her parents!

 Zhou Guoqiang fell into thinking after hearing Zhou Xiaoyun's words, and did not bother to ask why she appeared in the room.

Zhou Guoqiang kills pigs every meal for others, and the labor cost is very small. It would be a good idea to buy the pigs, kill them and then sell them in the market. The cost is not too big, he still has enough money to buy a pig, and when it is sold out, he can buy another one. Everyone raises pigs and sells pigs, so he doesn't have to worry about the supply.

Usually, the pigs collected by pig dealers from the countryside are sold to slaughterhouses in the city. Some pork sellers in the countryside kill their own pigs and sell them. There are very few people who specialize in selling pork in the market.

Furthermore, although the price of pork is a bit high at this time, everyone who has guests during the holidays will buy it. If you set up a regular stall to sell pork, the business will definitely not be too bad.

The more Zhou Guoqiang thought about it, the more he thought this was a good idea and looked towards Zhao Yuzhen.

 Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang had similar thoughts. She thought more carefully, and even thought that by selling pork at home, she could satisfy her children's cravings from time to time. She didn't make much money, but at least she could make a few children eat better.
