Chapter 160: Ribbon Cutting
Huang Han's home now has three tables, twelve benches and two imperial chairs. There is no need for craftsmen to stand or squat to eat.
Because one bench can fit three adults who are not too fat.
Of course Huang Han, Huang Xin and Huang Qi sat on the same bench.
Zhang Yugen thought that Yu'er's coming to his sister's house would definitely increase the burden. Huang Daozhou promised to keep Yu'er, but he refused to agree.
He was considerate and thought it was his brother-in-law who wanted to take Yu'er back after the meal because of his face. Yu'er was so anxious that she burst into tears.
Huang Han couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Uncle, don't worry about keeping Sister Yu'er! As long as my restaurant opens, I won't have to worry about not being able to sell the two signature dishes of thirteen-spice crayfish and pickled fish."
As long as the two sisters help me, the business will definitely become more and more prosperous."
Huang Han knew that these two cousins were both hard-working people and had suffered a lot when they were young.
Now they are equivalent to becoming the first farmers to come to the city to work. I believe that in a few years they will have a different vision and may develop better than later generations.
At this time, they were not in a relationship, and they had not yet met their two cousins-in-law.
If they worked in the city for a year or two and saved a few hundred yuan, they would probably look down on those two.
The two cousins are both responsible people, and the idea of marrying a chicken and a dog is deeply ingrained. The two brothers-in-law are not very capable and are not bad people. They have also accumulated some wealth with the Zhang family who have become prosperous.
The two of them had been restless for a few years, and the fifth child, Zhang Qiusheng, was so angry that he encouraged his two sisters to divorce the two living treasures.
Both families had children, and the two cousins chose to swallow their anger for the sake of their sons, thus maintaining the integrity of the family. Fortunately, the sons were filial and both graduated from college.
This is actually the fundamental reason why there are fewer and fewer carpenters and bricklayers in Sanshui County.
Almost every household in Sanshui County attaches great importance to education, and many rural people crowd into cities just so that their children can attend better schools.
Even bricklayers and carpenters do not want their children to inherit their father's business and are determined to train their children to become college students.
My uncle's family has six children and seven grandchildren. Only the oldest one is not good at school and graduated from a vocational high school. The other six are all college graduates.
The two cousins-in-law didn't live a stable life until they got older and their needs in this area diminished, and their sons got married and started families.
How much relationship does my cousin have with them? I don’t know, I guess she just makes do with it! Or maybe it has become a habit!
Huang Han's idea is very simple. A husband with this standard can basically meet the standard. If he changes his lifestyle and meets him again, he may be a good match.
Emotions are something that cannot be seen through from the perspective of a time traveler, and one can only follow fate!
It's not that Zhang Yugen didn't want Yu'er to stay, but that he was considerate of others, worried about his sister and brother-in-law, and was really happy to see his nephew Huang Han say soothing words.
He saw that the craftsmen had all gone out to work and there were no outsiders here, so he said, "Dao Zhou, how about this? Xiu'er and Yu'er are both working at your house. You give them fifteen yuan a month." !”
Before Huang Daozhou could speak, Huang Han interrupted and said, "Uncle, you're welcome, the two sisters may have to work for more than ten hours a day!
Our family should pay thirty yuan a month. If the business is good and they work hard, they will receive a bonus at the end of the year!"
I asked Xiu'er and Yu'er to come here with the intention of helping them. It's outrageous to only give them fifteen yuan. It must not be lower than the average salary in Sanshui County!
Huang Han knew that although this year would be slightly difficult, next year, the family would not have to worry about money at all.
As a result, he took the initiative to express his position first.
"Ah?" Huang Daozhou, Zhang Fangfen, and Zhang Yugen were all extremely surprised!
Xiu'er and Yu'er immediately said seriously, "We are not afraid of hardship. How hard can it be to cook, cook, wash dishes, and wipe tables in the house? It is much better than working in a production team."
Huang Han said, "That's it! You can work with peace of mind, no matter how the business is, your salary of thirty yuan a month is indispensable!"
My son was talking nonsense, Huang Daozhou looked embarrassed, Zhang Yugen couldn't laugh or cry, but it was Zhang Fangfen who said, "My Huang Han has the best idea. If he hadn't figured it out, how could it be possible for my family to build a building and open a store?"
He said it was settled, and yet it was settled!"
Huang Han immediately flattered her and said, "Mom is so interesting, mom is wise and powerful, mom, I really love you!"
"Haha! He said 'fruity words' again, but I like to hear them!"
The whole family, including my uncle’s family, all laughed!
After ten years of smiling, Huang Han has a sense of accomplishment and is even happier than making some money.
Dad, if Mom is happy all day long, her physical condition should be very different from before, right?
After changing his lifestyle and living environment, he will try to have Huang Daozhou go to Shanghai for a physical examination every year. If he is not sick, thank God. If he is sick, he will be treated early. He will not die prematurely.
My uncle fell ill in 1983. In 1982, he tried to find a way for him and Huang Daozhou to go to the Shanghai University Hospital for a physical examination.
He must be unwilling to go because he is afraid of spending money. No matter how hard he thinks of it, it won't cost his family money.
Everyone in the room was talking and laughing. Huang Xin noticed that Huang Han was silent and asked, "Huang Han, are you thinking of something else?"
Huang Han said, "I'm thinking that I should hire a big cadre to do the tailoring on the day my 'Shi Jing Cheng Restaurant' opens!"
Huang Xin was surprised and said, "Wow! You are thinking about such a big thing!"
Yu'er was happy in her heart and was very grateful to Huang Han. At this time, she said kindly, "Huang Han is different. His words are more pleasant to listen to than adults. He thinks about what adults think!"
Huang Daozhou also thought about how to have a lively banquet at the opening. Seeing Huang Han mention it, he said, "I'm thinking about inviting Director Qin from the bureau and Manager Liu from the fuel company to have a drink. I can ask them to help cut the ribbon."
"There's no point in inviting them. I'm thinking of inviting the biggest cadre in our county to cut the ribbon!"
"Ah?" Everyone in the room was shocked.
Zhang Fangfen said, "Don't brag. Are the senior county officials our family can hire?"
Huang Daozhou was a little unhappy and reprimanded, "Humph! I don't know how high the sky is and how high the earth is!"
Huang Han said, "It all depends on people. In fact, I am already 50% sure. If I plan well, it may not be impossible to invite senior county officials."
Huang Daozhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said impatiently, "Go, go, let's play!"
"Dad, don't underestimate me, I can really talk to Secretary Shen."
"Okay, okay, I know you and Secretary Shen's daughter are classmates. This is an adult matter. Do you think it's just playing house?
You little brat, tell me, why would such a big official come to my small shop?"
"Dad, how about we make a bet. If I invite Secretary Shen to cut the ribbon for our family, you and your mother will have to ask me first if there are any major decisions to be made at home."
Zhang Fangfen said, "We have told you all the important things these days. If you have a good idea, we will definitely be willing to listen to it. There is no need to bet!"
Huang Daozhou threatened, "If you dare to make a bet with me, I can beat you..."
"Dad, tell the truth. Just wait. If I really invite Secretary Shen, you will definitely become a popular person in the bureau, the company, and the factory in the future.
Maybe the bureau will promote you to a cadre, and then you will have a chance to prove your talents."
Zhang Yugen is a farmer. Meeting the director of an agricultural machinery station is like meeting a senior official. Senior county officials are simply out of reach in his eyes.
He said, "Huang Han, can you really find high-ranking county officials? The gate of the county government is not easy to get in!"
"Uncle, officials are also human beings. Most of them are the sons of farmers. They should serve the people. The door of the county government has 'Serve the People' written on it!"
Uh! This makes sense! Zhang Yugen didn’t know how to continue.
Huang Daozhou had to find acquaintances to do things during this period, and he still found it difficult. He didn't know how many smiles he lost and how many disgusting words he said.
Seeing his son so confidently saying that "serving the people" is the right thing to do, he felt angry and funny.
"Okay! I'm waiting for you to invite senior county officials to come and 'serve the people'!"
"Hehe, dad, we have agreed that if Secretary Shen comes to cut the ribbon, you must tell me first what you decide in the future!"
"Go, go, I can get you!"
