Chapter 289: Imported Semi-truck
Shitou was taken home by Su Danhong as a guest.
Shitou was very happy to come to his aunt's house. There were so many people to play with here, and there were also several mountains that belonged to his aunt to play at!
"Brother Shitou, you are here." When Qiqi came back with his dad, he saw his cousin, Shitou.
"Yeah, I will be staying here for a few days." Shitou said.
"Okay, I will be going to the reservoir with my dad tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?" Qiqi invited.
"Is it okay?" Shitou's eyes lit up.
"Yes, but you can't run around," Ji Jianyun said.
"I won’t run around, I will go to see ducks and goats!" Shitou said.
So the next day, Shitou went to the reservoir with his uncle, Renren and Qiqi.
During the few days he stayed over here, Shitou had a lot of fun. But he only stayed for five days before his father took him back.During that time, he ran out every day with Renren and Qiqi.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Danhong felt that Shitou was too sheltered by her second sister-in-law. If she didn’t let him play more when he was young, then he would have nothing and be boring when he grew up. People of different ages should do things appropriate for their own age. There was no need to interfere too much.
Shitou's eyes were shining everyday. He was very happy until he went back. He said he would come again.
Renren and Qiqi both expressed that he was welcomed. Shitou had a good personality. But Shitou had a big appetite and ate a lot of pastries and snacks.
He likes this food that Second sister-in-law Su didn’t know how to make. It would have to be bought. Second sister-in-law Su was reluctant to spend the money since it was not cheap.
Su Danhong made a few more pasties. She saw that he likes them, so when her second brother came to buy goods, she wrapped some up and asked him to bring it back to Shitou.
He was going to school next year, so Second sister-in-law Su started to ask Shitou to count and write his own name. Some basic things had to be taught at home first. When he went to school next year, he would be more willing and adaptable to school.
"Your aunt made pastries for you." Su Jindang took it back and gave it to his son.
Shitou was very happy and said, "Aunt's sesame snacks are delicious!"
"If you can learn everything I taught you, then I will let you stay there for three days!" Second Su Sister-in-law said.
"Really?" Shitou looked at his mother.
"Of course, when have I lied to you? But you have to learn all these words and count well," Second Su Sister-in-law said.
Shitou nodded and began to study hard.
It was fine for him to learn these, because his cousin knew all of these things and also told him to come back to learn.
Su Jindang privately said to his wife, "You don't have to be so controlling."
"How am I so controlling? Isn't this to help him learn more? Renren knows a lot of math already," Second Su Sister-in-law said. "And I'm counting on Shitou to go to college in the future."
"It doesn't matter if he goes to college. He can start working after high school." Su Jindang didn't have any requirements for his son.
"Go away." Second Su Sister-in-law dismissed him.
What kind of man was this? He wasn’t planning to send his son to college. What father was like this?
"I am going to open another shop. I don’t have any spare time. When Shitou grows up, I will have him share the burden," Su Jindang said.
This was his plan. Of course, this was based on the premise that his son didn’t want to study. If he wanted to study, he had to still be trained, right?
"Let's talk about it later." Second Su Sister-in-law waved her hand. She was going to have her son to go to college. As for the shop, it's okay for her family to run this shop now. As long as it was well managed, the business would not be bad.
Right now, with her family's savings, and apart from daily expenses, they had nearly 4,000 yuan saved. Profits were also increasing every month. She could save enough money for her son to go to college.
"Jianyun told me to open another shop if I have the money," Su Jindang said.
"Open another one? We already have Daya helping with this shop," Second Su Sister-in-law said after hearing this.
"That's what Jianyun said. He told me to open one in the county. If I don't have enough money, I can borrow some from him. If I don't do it myself, I can rent it out," Su Jindang said.
"Forget it. Let’s just stick with this shop," Second Su Sister-in-law said.
The shop was very profitable, especially this year.
After deducting expenses, the net earnings were more than 100 yuan and sometimes nearly 200 yuan a month. Before, it was almost 100 yuan, but now it has increased a lot.
Speaking of this, she was glad that Su Danhong lent her money to buy the shop. The rent has been rising these days, and many people had fights with the landlords. These matters have become quite a mess.
Her family did not have to do this because the shop belonged to them.
And the price now is different from a few years ago. She bought this shop for 2,500 yuan. If she were to buy it now, it would be at least 3,500 yuan, and the location might not be good and the shop might not be as spacious.
"We still need to build a house, and we will have to pay for it when the time comes," Second Su Sister-in-law said.
Su Jindang saw that she had no intention of buying another one, so he didn’t mention it again.
As for himself, he wanted to get another shop. He saw that Lao Qin had opened a second shop in the county town. He also knew from when he met Lao Qin while he was buying goods that the business of the second shop was also good.
Lao Qin's first shop was taken care of by his wife, Zhang Xueli, and his sons. As for the second shop, his parents were in charge. The monthly profit of the two shops was very high. The money he borrowed to buy the second shop was also paid off early.
Now the two shops had nearly 500 yuan in profits each month.
This was what Lao Qin saidwhen Ji Jianyun asked about the business. If he told anyone else, he would definitely cry about being poor. But he didn't need to do that with Ji Jianyun. Su Jindang estimated that his brother-in-law's monthly profit must be at least 1,500 yuan!
But he didn't ask. This kind of question was not easy to answer, and it was not his business to ask.
At home, Su Danhong looked at Ji Jianyun's summary again. Ji Jianyun tracked the accounts and calculated them in a military style. Everything was very clear.
Her family's profit every month was nearly 3,000 yuan a month when it was busy, and it was about 2,000 yuan when it was not.
This profit was after deducting the salaries paid, so it was very good.
But even then, Ji Jianyun did not pay Xiangxiang's 4,000 yuan fine, and did not register him yet.
Su Danhong mentioned it, "Let's register Xiangxiang."
"Huh? Let's do it when we sell the pigs at the end of the year. I'm buying a truck with Zhumao and the others tomorrow," Ji Jianyun said.
"Buying a truck?" Su Danhong looked at him in surprise.
Ji Jianyun explained immediately, "Wife, it's not that I can't pay it, but we have so many shops now, and one truck is not enough."
This year, they have been running tight on money, and they had to borrow from Lao Qin several times. Lao Qin had two shops of his own and was also very busy.
"Then you can just buy a bigger one. I heard last time that there are imported semi-trucks." Su Danhong didn't want to stop him.
