Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 551 Chapter 551. Well, it's a bit strange

The renovation of Xiang Jin's brother's house was nearing completion. In order not to delay the progress and ensure the quality of the house decoration, Xiang Jin's grandfather returned to Shanghai immediately after the Mid-Autumn Festival to continue to follow up.

But before going back, Xiang Jin still asked her grandpa, "Grandpa, will you be back during the National Day?"

Her grandfather was playing with the little milk bag in his bosom, when he heard her question, he immediately said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day are only a few days apart. The Mid-Autumn Festival is back, and I won't be back on the National Day. Your brother’s house has been decorated, and I’ll come back after all the furniture has been moved in and arranged, what’s the matter, is there anything you want me to bring back?”

Xiang Jin said, "No, I mean my parents and my aunt will come to BJ during the National Day. You can meet up then."

Her grandfather was silent for a while, and then said, "I won't see you this time. I'll see you again during the Chinese New Year. Anyway, they are all in good health and have nothing to do with them. It doesn't matter if they don't see each other this time."

Xiang Jin nodded and followed him.

Her grandfather didn't come back for the National Day, but Yan Chen and his uncles and aunts did. It was the second day after Xiang Jin's parents arrived in Beijing, but the two old people didn't tell them in advance, so when they came back Xiang Jin and the others didn't go to pick up the plane, and the two old people took a taxi back by themselves.

But seeing Yan Chen's uncles and aunts this time, Xiang Jin clearly noticed that his uncles and aunts seemed to have looked haggard and aged a lot in the past year, especially Yan Chen's aunt, who had bruises on her head. I have gray hair.

"Uncle, aunt, why don't you call us and talk to us when you come back, so we can drive to the airport to pick you up, do you think you still take a taxi back?"

Uncle Yan Chen waved his hand, "It's also convenient to take a taxi back."

Yan Chen's aunt added, "We're afraid to trouble you."

Xiang Jin said, "What's the trouble with this? Are you still so polite to us?"

Yan Chen's aunt said, "We didn't catch a plane this time, we came back by train."

Xiang Jin and the others were surprised, and Xiang Jin blurted out, "Isn't it easy to buy air tickets?"

Yan Chen's aunt said, "That's not true, we bought the train tickets in the first place."

Several people nodded.

Grandma Mo looked at her son and daughter-in-law in front of her, and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of coming back?"

Yan Chen and his aunt said, "Come back to see you, we won't come back this year for Chinese New Year, so I will take advantage of this National Day to come back and see you, and Chen Chen and Jin girl, alas, Jin girl , Where is the child, where is the child, take it out and show us."

Grandma Mo said first, "Go and wash up first, to get rid of tiredness, the child is sleeping right now, and I will take it out for you to see when I wake up."

The two of them nodded when they heard that the child was sleeping.

Grandpa Zeng asked, "How long will you stay this time?"

Yan Chen's uncle said, "Plane No. [-]."

Grandpa Zeng nodded, and then fell silent. Uncle Yan Chen said to Yan Chen, "Chen Chen, girl Jin, follow me," said Uncle Yan Chen, who got up from his seat, Then he picked up the suitcase in front of him and Yan Chen's aunt's suitcase and headed towards Jin's study.

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen glanced at each other, and then heard Yan Chen's aunt say to them, "Go."

"Oh, good!" Xiang Jin and Yan Chen immediately turned around and followed.

When they arrived at the study room, Yan Chen's uncle had already opened one of the suitcases, and then Xiang Jin saw that there were several volumes of that painting in his suitcase, and a couple of thirty or forty. One centimeter high blue and white porcelain vase, and a pair of [-] to [-] centimeter high painted vases.

"Close the door."

The two turned sideways, and Yan Chen quickly walked over and closed the door.

"Uncle, what is this?" The two approached, Xiang Jin pointed to the things in his box, and Yan Chen also looked at his uncle.

His uncle said, "I'm going to retire next year, I discussed it with your aunt, that is, after I retire, I will sell the house over there, and then move back to live in the capital.

These are some antiques and calligraphy and paintings that I have collected over the years. Our house over there will be dealt with at that time, so I will bring these things back and store them here in advance. I heard from your grandma that you were renovating before. We dug a basement in another house, to see if we can temporarily put all our things in your basement? "

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, we plan to store some wine in the basement, and we plan to open a winery at that time."

His uncle nodded, and then opened another box. There were also some porcelains, calligraphy and paintings in this box, but the porcelains in this room were all single works, unlike the two boxes in the previous box. The money is in pairs.

He carefully took out the porcelain from the two boxes, and placed them on Yan Chen's desk, and asked them to pick two of them, and then pick two calligraphy and paintings, as if they were gifts for them. Wedding Gifts.

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen refused, saying that this was too expensive, and they had already given them a red envelope to seal the country.

Yan Chen's uncle said, "That is a full moon gift for Xi Baofeng, not for you, so it doesn't count? Choose, choose two, I still have them over there, and I haven't brought them back yet. I’ll wait until I find a chance to bring it back.”

Yan Chen frowned, "Uncle, why do you have so many antique calligraphy and paintings?"

His uncle seemed to see what he was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, they are all obtained from regular channels, and they are all very clean things. The wages of your uncle and me over the years have basically been invested in this." .

I, like girl Jin, just took a chance and got it from people who don't know much about antiques or bought it at a low price from my family. "

The two of them nodded, and then Yan Chen was impolite, and said to Xiang Jin, "Go ahead, choose two that you like."

Xiang Jin shook his head, "I don't know how to choose, why don't you just give us a slightly cheaper one, uncle?"

His uncle Yan Chen said, "The prices we brought back this time are not cheap."

Xiang Jin said "oh".

Yan Chen's uncle directly handed them the pair of painted vases, "Let's just take this pair of auspicious screens with rich and noble flowers blooming. This has a good meaning and looks festive."

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "Isn't this too expensive?"

Yan Chen directly reached out and took it, "Thank you uncle!"

Oh, are you really welcome? !
Xiang Jin clicked his tongue!
His uncle said, "Thank you for what? I'm the only nephew like you! As long as you and girl Jin are doing well, uncle will be very happy.

All these years, you have been taking care of your grandparents for us. Your aunt and I are very grateful to you. Back then you paid for them to buy a house in the provincial capital, and we were not polite to you," followed him He took two more scrolls and handed them to Xiang Jin.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Xiang Jin took it, "But we haven't taken care of grandpa and grandma, they have always been taking care of us. At most, they are living with us so that they are not so lonely. That's all, even if it is taken care of, that's what us juniors should do, so, uncle and aunt, don't feel sorry for you two, it's because of the nature of your work, and it's not like you didn't stay around grandpa, grandma and them on purpose , We all know and understand all of this.”

Their uncle nodded, "It's hard for you two children to be so sensible. Uncle is very pleased and happy!"

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen put the two things in their hands aside, and Yan Chen said to his uncle, "Then you register all your things and make a book, and I will store them for you when the time comes." stand up."

His uncle said, "What kind of record and what kind of book are made, no need, don't I worry about you two?"

Yan Chen said, "That's fine, then you can put the things on the table back into the box and lock them up. I'll put them away for you when the time comes."

His uncle nodded, and then put those porcelain vases back into the two boxes.

"Aren't your parents here? Why didn't you see them? Your grandparents aren't home either," Yan Chen's uncle said again suddenly.

Xiang Jin said, "During the National Day, many real estate properties are offering preferential policies. My brother and my aunt wanted to buy two more houses here during the National Day, so they went out to look at the houses together early in the morning.

My grandma is sleeping with Xi Bao. My grandpa came back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he didn’t come back for the National Day. He is staying in Shanghai. He plans to wait for my brother’s house to be completely renovated. I'll come back later, but it won't be long, maybe only half a month. "

Their uncle nodded, "Oh, that's right? Is there a big discount for buying a house here now?"

Yan Chen said, "It's okay, many properties offer [-]% or [-]% discount, [-]% discount for sales, and some other gifts, which are [-] or [-] or [-] per square meter cheaper than usual Hundreds."

Their uncle then asked again, "Are you still planning to buy it during the National Day?"

Yan Chen said, "We won't buy it."

Yan Chen's uncle was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect them to take advantage of it?

Xiang Jin explained to him, "Although the preferential policies are indeed very attractive, the wool still comes from the sheep. In fact, they just raised the price in disguise."

Besides, they already have enough properties in their hands. There are dozens of properties in Shanghai, dozens of properties in provincial capitals, and dozens of properties in BJ, so it’s almost the same. They will build their own houses next year. So there is really no need to hoard so many houses.

"Uncle, are you still planning to buy it?" Yan Chen asked his uncle.

His uncle said, "Your aunt and I also plan to buy two more properties."

Yan Chen nodded and said nothing more.

His uncle then asked again, "Didn't your grandfather say that he was going to resign on National Day? Has he resigned now?"

Yan Chen said, "He won't be back until a few days later."

His uncle nodded again, "Now he can finally be free for two days."

"Yes!"

After his uncle tidied up those porcelain vases, he moved them to a hidden corner of the study, and said to Yan Chen, "Can you take some time and put them away for me?"

Yan Chen nodded, "Yeah!"

The three of them came out of the study together, and saw their aunt and grandpa and grandma both had serious expressions on their faces, so Xiang Jin asked, "What's the matter? They all seemed unhappy. "

Their aunt said, "It's nothing," and then got up, "I'm going to wash up and change into clean clothes before I come out."

Yan Chen's uncle said that he also had to wash up, and then the two of them left.

Seeing their backs going away, Xiang Jin asked the two old people beside him, "Uncle, aunt, what's the matter with them?"

Their grandmother sighed and said to them, "I'll tell you later."

"Oh!"

Yan Chen immediately said to Xiang Jin, "I'll go and put the things away."

"Okay, let's go!"

After three o'clock, Xi Bao woke up. After Xiang Jin fed him, he took him out to show to his uncles and aunts. After seeing Xi Bao, both of them loved him very much. The expression, especially Yan Chen's aunt, could not wait to have her eyes on Xi Bao's body. She hugged Xi Bao and kept laughing, "Xi Bao, your name is Xi Bao? We Xi Bao woke up, It turns out that you look like this, you really look like your father, you were printed exactly like that? Xi Bao is also a very handsome young man!"

Xi Bao stared at Yan Chen's aunt with a pair of black phoenix eyes, then frowned, and Yan Chen's aunt said, "Why, don't you know me? Yes, you don't know me, I am Your aunt, this is your uncle, we are your parents' uncles and aunts, Xi Bao also has uncles, and there will be aunts in the future."

After staring at her for a while, the little guy yawned, and then began to squint his eyes, "Oh, it's time to sleep."

Xiang Jin reached out to take it, "Then give it to me, auntie?"

Their aunt said, "It's okay, I'll just hold it. I like this child. He looks like a smart and energetic master."

So Xiang Jin withdrew his hand back again.

Sure enough, the little guy fell asleep after a while.

Xiang Jin reached out to hug her again, but Yan Chen's aunt still refused to let go, "Let me hug a little longer, I haven't reported such a small child for decades, and I don't know if I will have a chance to hug her in the future." Yo?"

Xiang Jin was stunned, and then looked sideways at Yan Chen, who also had a puzzled look on his face.

Their grandmother interjected, "It's better to return the child to them and let them carry them back to sleep on the bed. If you hold on like that, be careful that the child will become used to being held by then, and it will not be easy to put the child to sleep on the bed in the future. "

After being stunned for a moment, Yan Chen's aunt carried Xi Bao back to Xiang Jin, "Take her back to sleep," but her eyes were still reluctant to part.

Xiang Jin took Xi Bao back to sleep, but Yan Chen stayed there talking to them.

At nearly five o'clock, Xiang Jin and her parents came back, and Yan Chen asked them, "How do you see it? Is there anything suitable?"

Ouyang Bo said, "The two real estates I saw today are average, not my ideal type. I'll go and see some other real estates tomorrow."

Xiang Jin asked, "What's the situation with those two buildings today?"

Ouyang Bo said, "One is that the elevator is too crowded. There are eight households in two elevators. What is the concept? There are eight households in one floor, but there are only two elevators. If there is an emergency, don't expect to be able to take the elevator." Go downstairs quickly, and the proportion of green area inside is also very small.

The other real estate is that the house type is not good, the layout of the rooms and living room and dining room inside is not good, the living room is long and narrow, and all the houses have no entrances, gardens, etc., and the free area is also very small. "

Their aunt added, "That's because the balcony is very small."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "That's right! Oh, today is a waste of time."

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, anyway, the National Day is still a few days away, you can take your time and see if it suits you."

Ouyang Bo said, "Sister, the National Day is for you office workers. People like us who have been dealing with the mud all the year round don't have such a long National Day holiday. My aunt and I will go back on the [-]th. It's time to go back and harvest the fruit again."

Yan Chen asked, "Oh, how is your fruit this year?"

Ouyang Bo said, "Because of the rainy weather for a period of time this year, a lot of seedlings have been flooded and a lot of fruits have been drenched, so the production of this year's seeds will be reduced by about [-]%. This year’s price is higher than last year’s, so overall it’s still the same as last year.”

Yan Chen said, "That's still possible!"

Ouyang Bo said, "But next year's seedlings don't know, because next year's seedlings don't know what the price is, and many of them are seedlings that were planted some time ago this year's seedlings. This growth requires a process, and some of them will grow in a year. It can grow out and bear fruit, and some will take three to five years to grow and bear fruit again."

Yan Chen said, "That can't be helped."

Ouyang Bo sighed, "Yes, there is no way!"

Xiang Jin's mother asked again, "Where's Xi Bao, fell asleep again?"

"Ah, I'm sleeping."

Ouyang Bo said, "Why does this kid doze off so much? I haven't seen Xi Bao open his eyes a few times since I came here?"

Xiang Jin said, "Children rely on sleep to grow up. Newborn babies like them usually sleep for more than [-] hours a day."

Ouyang Bo said, "Damn, I can really sleep!"

Xiang Jin's father said, "You were not so sleepy when you were young!"

"Can I sleep like that?" Ouyang Bo had an expression of disbelief.

Xiang Jin's father said, "Then there is still a fake?"

In the evening, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were lying on the bed, and Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "Do you feel that uncle and aunt are a little different this time, how should I put it, um, it's a bit strange, they look preoccupied ? Yes, it looks preoccupied."

Yan Chen said, "Well, I feel it."

Xiang Jin asked him, "Do you want to ask uncle in private?"

Yan Chen said, "I asked, and he said it's nothing, and told me not to think too much about it."

"Oh, forget it, since they don't want to tell us, let's pretend we don't know."

"Well, go to sleep," Yan Chen hugged her into his arms.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"

After several days of hard work, Xiang Jin's brother and her aunt finally bought two houses in Chaoyang District. Her brother bought two houses of more than 120 square meters, while her aunt bought two houses of 80 square meters. Multi-square-meter house.

Both of them are in the same community, but they are in different buildings and floors.

And on the second day, Yan Chen's uncles and aunts also followed Xiang Jin and his buddies to run some real estate, and finally bought two houses in the HD area, both of which were 97 square meters.

On October [-]th, Xiang Jin's brother and her aunt went back first, and her parents and Yan Chen's uncles and aunts left on September [-]th, and then the family returned to its previous tranquility.

Because Xi Bao doesn't eat milk powder, Xiang Jin can't go back to work in the company for the time being, so she can only continue to work at home.

After more than two hours of work, Xiang Jin got up to go outside to breathe, and then saw Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo coming in with a pot of flowers.

When she walked over, she saw that the two pots of flowers were blooming vigorously, and they were quite beautiful, "Grandpa and grandma, did you buy flowers back? What kind of flowers are these? They are pink in color, yellow in color, and there are clusters of them." A bunch of them, pretty nice?"

The two old people just smiled, and Grandma Mo showed the flower in her hand in front of her, "Do you think it looks pretty?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's pretty, I don't think I've seen this kind of flower before, in my impression, chrysanthemums, roses, hibiscus, and sweet-scented osmanthus are usually blooming this season. .”

Grandma Mo smiled and said, "I didn't buy this from outside, it was planted by your grandfather in the yard of your house over there."

Xiang Jin immediately remembered that the courtyard house not far from here dug a basement in the early summer, so all the soil was piled up in the yard at the beginning, and then they were all tiled. In the yard, their grandfather planted flowers and plants there, and said that they will be placed in her and Yan Chen's company, so that they don't have to go outside to buy another one.

She had been there once before, but at that time the basement was still being dug, and flowers and plants had not been planted yet. When her grandfather officially started planting flowers and plants, it was after the basement had been dug and decorated, and it was not long before now. It's like a month or two at most.

"Oh, are they all blooming now?" Her grandfather would occasionally go over there to take care of the flowers and plants, such as watering, fertilizing and so on, but he only went there every few days, and every time he went It was he and grandma who went shopping in the mall and came back to stop by there.

Grandpa Zeng nodded, "Well, open some."

Xiang Jin asked, "How many pots of this kind of flower have you planted?"

Grandpa Zeng said, "This flower is called beautiful evening primrose. It usually blooms in July, and the flowering period is two months. I don't plant many of these. There are only about twenty pots, and only two pots have come out so far." , just the two pots in the hands of me and your grandma, if you like them, why don't you take them and put them there?"

Xiang Jin waved his hand, "No, no, just leave it alone. Oh, grandpa, besides this evening primrose, what other flowers and plants have you planted?"

Her grandfather said, "A lot, there are still a dozen or so varieties, each of which looks like a dozen or twenty pots, but there are only seven or eight varieties that bloom. When is it convenient to let the two little Chen Come here and pick some flowers and plants and put them in the company."

Xiang Jin nodded and followed suit, "Grandpa, grandma, I have a proposal, what do you think? It's in our company, we don't need to put too many flowers and plants, just a few pots of indoor green plants to decorate Just one click, I suggest you sell the flowers and plants that are blooming or waiting to bloom."

"Sell it?!" The two elders had surprised expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they had never thought of selling it for money. Grandpa Zeng said, "Then I have to find a place to set up a stall then?"

Xiang Jin said, "You don't need to find a place, and you don't need to set up a stall. Don't we have two melon and fruit shops here? When the time comes, I will ask them to clean up a place for you. The place doesn't need to be too big, just one Two more square meters is fine.

At that time, let's put a shelf there, and then you will put your flowers and plants on the shelf, and the price will be clearly marked at that time. If the customer sees it and likes it, he will buy it for you directly there.

You don't need to go to the store to guard, you just need to remember how many flowers and plants you put in the store in total, how many pots of each kind, and the staff in the store will buy it for you. The money is given to you.

It's easy, and it can make money. The most important thing is that in winter, our store has heating, so we don't have to worry about those flowers and plants being frozen. "

The eyes of the two old people lit up, and they thought her idea was good, but Grandpa Zeng said, "Wouldn't that take up the place where your fruits are placed?"

Xiang Jin said, "No, we just need to adjust the placement of those fruits at that time. For example, the distance between the two fruit placement points before us was one meter, and now we shorten the distance between them. Make it ninety centimeters or eighty centimeters, and the remaining area will be for you to place flower and plant racks."

The two old people nodded after they understood, so Grandpa Zeng said, "Okay, those flowers and plants, I agree to sell them in your fruit shop, but you don't have to give us the money, you just keep it yourself." , Your grandma and I eat and live with you every day, and we don’t need any money, so we won’t charge that money.”

Grandma Mo also hurriedly expressed her opinion, "That's right, that's right, don't give us the money if you keep it."

Xiang Jin said, "How can that be done? That is the result of your labor. Besides, we are also making money. To put it bluntly, our daily income is many times higher than yours. That money , you should keep it for yourself, if you want Xi Bao to buy him a toy or something, then we will not refuse."

The two old people just laughed, and Grandpa Zeng said, "It must be bought. Even if we don't sell flowers, we still want to buy them for him. Those are our descendants."

Xiang Jin also laughed, "Alright, then I will call the managers of the two melon and fruit shops later and ask them to come to the house in the afternoon, and then I will explain to them, and grandpa, you When I saw it, how many floors would the flower stand have to be?"

"Oh, good!"

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the people in charge of the two melon and fruit shops came, and then Xiang Jin explained to them, and asked his grandfather to explain to them, both of them nodded after listening, and went back to start .

Within a few days, Grandpa Zeng moved some flowers and plants in the yard to the two melon and fruit shops. According to what Xiang Jin said, no more than two pots of each variety of flowers should be placed in one shop. Only then will things be rare and expensive.

And those flowers must be half-opened and half-closed, because others who have opened will see a real effect, and the part of the flower bone that others buy back can continue to bloom for a period of time.

He also followed Xiang Jin's other suggestion, that is to clearly mark the prices of those flowers and plants, so as to avoid bargaining. If you really like it, you won't care about the price he marked, and the other party will simply buy it. , those who don't like it, or those who are reluctant to part with the money, he will not ask again.

So on the day he placed those flowers and plants, he sold several pots in the melon and fruit shops on both sides, which made Grandpa Zeng and the others earn nearly 2000 yuan, mainly because he bought a few pots of orchids very well. The price is also high.

Like other ordinary flowers and plants, he only sold them at prices ranging from a few yuan to more than [-] yuan to more than [-] yuan, but there were two kinds of orchids, plus a few pots of the pink, white and purple Phalaenopsis. The ones are very good, and they are all sold at a price that is several times higher than those ordinary flowers and plants.

Especially the Phalaenopsis, which has many and delicate flowers, anyone who loves flowers and plants will like it when they see it, so he directly marked hundreds of dollars for a pot, but some people still don't even blink their eyes. I bought it and left.

So after that, Grandpa Zeng paid more and more attention to serving those flowers and plants. As long as there was nothing to do at home here, he would wander around to tend those flowers and plants in the yard over there.

Today it’s not divisions, tomorrow it’s cuttings, or it’s planting the day after tomorrow, or it’s watering flowers, fertilizing and weeding, and potting.

If the yard over there can't grow enough, he will move some back to the yard here. Now, even in the corridors on several sides of their house, there are pots of flowers and plants every one or two meters.

Now, even though it's late autumn, everywhere is a scene of bleak autumn wind, but Xiang Jin's house is still full of vigor and vitality, and all kinds of flowers are blooming one after another.
