Chapter 552: Chapter 552 Yun Xiaoxiao Learns That Second Brother Yun Has Been Laid Off Chapter 552: Chapter 552 Yun Xiaoxiao Learns That Second Brother Yun Has Been Laid Off “Now there are more and more individual businesses. If they don’t make money, those people won’t be able to continue selling.”
Mother Yun was an accountant, so she started to calculate the current price of a bowl of noodles outside and what the cost was likely to be.
“As long as the flavor is good, there’s no fear of not having business.”
With Laoer’s situation no longer a worry for her, Mother Yun then thought of her daughter, Xiaoxiao.
“Isn’t Xiaoxiao coming ho for sumr vacation?”
Wouldn’t she co to their place either?
Sumr vacation was nearly two months long.
Father Yun thought about the possibility of his son-in-law advising Laoer to buy a shop. Couldn’t they themselves have done sothing?
The doors to economic reform had been opened.
They were still in the Capital City, feeling the changes all the more.
“How can the daughter afford this? All four in her family are in school,” Father Yun said. Even though the daughter and son-in-law were in college and got subsidies from the school.
But were these subsidies enough for a family of four’s expenses?
Not nearly.
So they might look for so way to make money.
“Even state-run restaurants are laying off staff. Who knows if workers at other factories will also be laid off?”
As soon as these words were said, both Father Yun and Mother Yun turned quite serious.
If that were truly the case, how would they get by?
“Our factory’s performance is still quite good, so we probably won’t have to lay off workers to cut costs quickly, right?” asked Mother Yun, though she didn’t feel very certain inside.
“That’s hard to say.”
After the couple returned ho, it was almost midnight before they fell asleep.
Capital City.
When Xiaoxiao received the telegram from Second Brother Yun, she was a bit shocked.
Laid off and opening a shop?
Even chefs at state-run restaurants were being laid off.
It was clear that quite a number of restaurants had opened up.
Welco to the eighties.
A ti reputed to be an era where the streets were paved with gold.
As long as you were willing to endure hardship, you could make money.
There was competition, sure, but as long as the taste was good, one could still earn.
Xiaoxiao didn’t go to the factory today but went to the jewelry shop.
She didn’t stay at ho.
Now the mother-in-law had arrived.
If she stayed at ho, the mother-in-law would think she wasn’t working or earning money.
Another reason was that aside from reading books, she temporarily couldn’t find anything else to do at ho.
The kitchen didn’t need her attention.
It was too hot outside, but the shop was cool with the breeze from the fan.
“Sister-in-law, do you want to go and take a nap?”
Fang iyun saw her sister-in-law yawning. There was a recliner—brought over by Third Brother.
“I’ll take a quick snooze.”
The heat made her sleepy after a full al.
Once off work, Zhao Tianlei ca to pick up Xiaoxiao.
“My second brother has been laid off,” he said.
Laid off?
“It was inevitable. Does he plan to open a restaurant?”
Xiaoxiao shook her head, “He didn’t give details, but now that he’s laid off, and his father-in-law still isn’t, he probably can’t manage a restaurant alone and will likely start with sothing simpler to sell for now.”
To open a restaurant, at the very least, there had to be two people in the kitchen and another to handle paynts and clean tables.
Running a restaurant ant keeping it clean and having good flavors. It was also essential to obtain a business license.
Second Brother Yun probably had more experience than she did, having worked in a state-run restaurant for so many years.
The only concern was whether Big Brother and his wife would look down on Second Brother for being laid off.
So people thought owning an individual business was good, and others did not.
In these tis, having a worker in the family was still a thing of pride.
Especially in the countryside, if a family had a worker, it was equivalent to their ancestors’ graves sprouting green smoke.
Let them look down if they wanted.
In the end, running a shop could make more money than a worker could.
Workers received a fixed base salary each month, whereas for an individual business owner, regardless of earning more or less, it was all for themselves.
