Shi Suifeng returned ho that evening and knew about soone trying to set him up with a partner.
But this was not surprising.
Over all these years, he was considered a promising young man in the military, from leaders to comrades, there were many introductions made. It’s just that his attitude was tough before, rejecting all of them, which is why it gradually quieted down.
And now with five kids at ho, maybe so people think that there must be a woman to manage the household!
However, are there not enough chaotic families in the military? Families disrupting peace and leading to missed promotions... are they few?
Looking at those around him, marriage... seems completely unnecessary!
With Little He around, with five kids around, she hardly has to worry about her rear, life is more serene instead.
However, he had no thoughts, but Chu River did have thoughts.
While shoveling food, he discussed with Shi Suifeng: "I think the sisters-in-law have a point, this Teacher Xiao Zhou isn’t without any advantages—otherwise, I might marry her, then there’d be one more person to work at ho?"
Shi Suifeng didn’t show any expression on the surface, but felt uneasy inside — this is the wealthy Little He now, probably forgot about borrowing 80 bucks for a bride price from him back then!
He looked at a table-full of dishes in front of him and gently asked: "Is there any work at ho that’s unfinished?"
...
Chu River thought for a mont — seems there really isn’t!
Five kids, except for Gu An who’s not very mobile, each one is diligent and proactive, and they are all used to doing farm work.
Take Da Dan for example, his stance in the kitchen is becoming more and more proficient. After so years of practice, he probably won’t be worse than Shi Suifeng.
The clothes Chu River changes every day are washed spotlessly clean...
She thought about it, maybe there really isn’t a need to bring soone else since there’s too little work at ho.
But she was unwilling!
"Having one more person ans earning an extra salary, as long as Teacher Xiao Zhou eats a bit less, we’re sure to profit without loss."
This ti Shi Suifeng didn’t say anything, but gave Da Dan a look.
Da Dan touched the 5-cent coin in his pocket, and solemnly said: "Aunt, how can you think like this?"
"Teacher Xiao Zhou indeed makes money, sure to profit without loss. But don’t forget, she has relatives and friends. Generally, after marrying a wife, not only do you have to provide a bride price, but also invite people over for als, and when her maiden family visits, you have to entertain them well... going back and forth, even if there’s a 28-buck salary, how much can you actually earn? It’s really not worth it."
Chu River thought so too.
Bla the sisters-in-law for being too persuasive, laying out all the details so intricately, that made her head spin for a mont, thinking 28 bucks was a huge amount.
But thinking about how she could earn a few hundred bucks by flipping a car, there’s really no necessity!
Rather than going through the trouble of marrying a wife, it would be better to discuss properly with the speculative trading guy, and quickly get all the needed materials ready.
...
Poor speculative trading guy carrying a heavy burden, now already boarded the train, traveling a long distance to another material wholesale site.
Of course, it isn’t truly wholesale, it’s just that there’s a corresponding factory there, with connections, and asking the transport team to bring a load back for him... If not, why is the car cost so high, all the expense is on this.
But thinking of the large wooden box he carries, and imagining the prosperity of Shanghai, his heart fills with ambition!
—If he doesn’t get 8-10 orders this ti, he’d be unworthy of his na, Chen Changhai!
Thinking further, the Shi Family must have such good feng shui to have such a golden opportunity, so lucrative!
He couldn’t help but feel his own weathered old face—actually, his own family wasn’t without so background.
If Captain Shi doesn’t mind him not having a stable job, speculative trading having risks, being a bit older, looking worldly, and appearance being just average...
Would he consider letting him marry Comrade Chu River ho?
By then he would sell goods while she carried them, she made cars while he handled orders... a strong alliance, a perfect match, this is just too perfect!
At this mont, with a bumpy ride on the train, Chen Changhai stumbled, his lips bumping into an elder lady’s backpack in the aisle.
He reacted instantly, reminded of the prior sweet pain at the center of his face, quickly dismissing the thought—
An old man, how can he marry a wife he can’t win over in a fight? Wouldn’t that an he can’t maintain authority?
No way, no way.
...
And at the Zhou Family, unsurprisingly, Sister-in-law Li ca over to discuss this matter.
Aunt Zhou sighed heavily in her heart, her entire face turning distressed. Right at noon, Teacher Xiao Zhou ca off work, pushing the door in with joy, only to see her mother sitting there and looking at her, couldn’t help but ask:
