Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 92 The renter, Ah Jing!

Pingyang County.

Zhao Wenmu gave himself a few days off to concentrate on renting a house with Zhao Jing and Zhao Xin.

Rent a house out!

Zhao Jing and Zhao Xin hung a large bunch of keys on the handlebars of their bicycles, and walked through the streets and alleys of Pingyang County with jingling bells, trying to show off.

The long ponytail swayed in the wind, like a happy little butterfly.

"Third sister, are we getting rich?"

Little Butterfly squinted her crooked eyes, shaking the key chain in her hand, just like Zhao Jing was a money fanatic.

"No promise!"

Seeing Zhao Xin like this, Zhao Wenmu couldn't help blurting out.

However, Zhao Jing's hand shaking the key stopped in mid-air, and the complacent and excited expression on her small face froze there.

Uh, can you take back what you just said?

"Hmph! Of course Boss Zhao doesn't like this small amount of money!"

"Uh, I was wrong, daughter-in-law!"

"Oh, I smell the sour smell of love again."

Zhao Xin pinched the tip of her small nose exaggeratedly, and waved the air in front of her with her hand.

Zhao Jing reached out to poke her, and the two women fought happily.

"Comrade Zhao, you are here!"

At the door of the shop, the people who had been waiting here for a long time saw Zhao Jing coming, and immediately stood up to greet her.

After finally waiting for this shop to be rented out, you have to rent it out quickly!
The prices of shops all over Pingyang County are increasing. It is not so easy to find a location and a suitable size.

This old man who lives for a long time has a good skill in frying melon seeds. In the past, he could only secretly sell some at the factory gate and family area during the holidays.

Now that the policy has been relaxed, he immediately decided to open a store.

But after searching for several days, I felt that this shop was the most suitable.

The family managed to scrape together enough money to rent a storefront, decorate, and buy tools. The expenses are not small, and there is only one chance, so you must choose carefully!
When Zhao Wenmu heard this old man's name, he was also happy. Good guy, he has a long life, and you have a long life, or your melon seeds should be called Dashui melon seeds.

The rental price has already been negotiated by both parties, and the agreement can be signed directly at this moment.

"Brother, does your melon seed have a name?"

Nian Zhaijiu heard that the young man in front of him, who looked younger than his youngest son, was the owner of Zhao's Crayfish Restaurant.

That place is said to be more magnificent than the imperial palace!

He dare not neglect.

"Boss Zhao, I'm just a small handicraft. It's just frying melon seeds. Do I need a name?"

"Of course, Brother Nian, look at my Old Zhao's Crayfish Restaurant. With this signboard, when it comes to Old Zhao's, no one would know it's my place!"

"When you mention authentic crayfish, everyone knows where it is. This is the advantage of the signature!"

Zhao Wenmu was so relaxed that he chatted with Nian Zhaijiu with great interest.

Nian Zhaijiu's eyes lit up, although he didn't understand the meaning of the signboard, but Boss Zhao had to listen to what he said!

"Boss Zhao, why don't you help me think of a signboard? I haven't been to school, and I don't even know a few words."

Nian Zhai Jiuhan said with a smile, a little uneasy on his face.

"Brother Nian, how about calling it Big Smart Sweet Melon Seeds? The slogan is Big Smart Sweet Melon Seeds, the more you eat, the smarter you will be!"

"This is good! This is good!"

Nian Zhai happily said yes without even thinking about it, and asked Zhao Jing to write it down for him.

Nian Zhaijiu carefully put the little note Zhao Jing gave him into his pocket as if holding some treasure.

Zhao Wenmu suddenly felt a little guilty.

My precious and most important question is that frying melon seeds is the livelihood of the whole family. Is my joke a little out of date?
He frowned and thought about it.

The word "big smart" does not have any derogatory meaning now. Smartness is always good. There is nothing wrong with this sign and slogan.

"Brother Nian, the melon seeds and peanuts you fry are tasteless, right?"

He thought of a good idea, right to help the other party.

"That's impossible! Boss Zhao, the melon seeds I fried are delicious!"

Nian Zhaijiu came to the city for a long time and naturally brought a lot of melon seeds, which will be sold in the city later.

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful and handed it to Zhao Wenmu.

Zhao Wenmu took it, yes, his melon seeds were big and plump, and the heat was just right.

"Brother Nian, your melon seeds are really fragrant. I think you can also try frying melon seeds and peanuts with other flavors, such as salty, five-flavored, and milk-flavored."

"Everyone's life is getting better and better, and they will definitely like some new gadgets. Do you think this is the reason?"

Nian Zhaijiu thought about it for a while this time, yes, isn’t Boss Zhao’s crayfish restaurant just a novelty?

Who would have imagined that fishy and laborious crabs could be so delicious.

I heard people say that the old Zhao’s crayfish restaurant has crayfish and crabs of various flavors?
Nian Zhaijiu has decided to spend all his money to taste it today.

"Boss Zhao, you are really amazing!"

Nian Zhaijiu couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

At night, he tremblingly walked into the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant, looked at the various flavors of crayfish and crabs displayed in the window, smelled the attractive aroma, and had a deeper understanding of Zhao Wenmu's words during the day.

People want better goods and services!
Of course, the concept of goods and services is not in his mind.

But he understands that more delicious melon seeds and peanuts are what he wants to do!

In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: the main contradiction in the primary stage of socialism in our country is the contradiction between the people's ever-growing material and cultural needs and the backward social productive forces.

Whoever grasps this truth will grasp the pulse of the times!
Naturally, Nian Zhaijiu did not achieve as much as Nian Guangjiu, but a few years later, his great wisdom and fragrant melon seeds also made a breakthrough.

Nian Xiaotao, who inherited the family business, later said:

"My father's success originated from Mr. Zhao Wenmu's guidance."

A few years later, one after another reform pioneers and big men of the times stood up and told about Zhao Wenmu's guidance and help, which completely confirmed Zhao Wenmu's title of "mentor of the times".

"Okay, third brother, you can be a mentor to others!"

After leaving the shop, Zhao Xin laughed and teased Zhao Wenmu.

Zhao Jing looked at Zhao Wenmu with admiration in her eyes.

It took the three people more than two days to deal with all the shops.

Shops in Pingyang County can't directly collect a year's rent in advance like in Beijing, and all of them are deposits and payments.

"Third sister, let's see how much money we can make!"

Back home, Zhao Xin didn't avoid suspicion any more, pestered Zhao Jing and started to settle accounts.

"The rent of all the shops adds up to 23380 yuan a month, and our cost is 11050 yuan."

"I can earn 12330 yuan a month!"

Zhao Jing handed the notebook to Zhao Xin.

The two little girls looked at the numbers above and felt like they were dreaming.

Zhao Wenmu also couldn't help feeling that in the face of information advantages, other tricks are really just pediatrics!

"Two beautiful housekeepers, I will rely on you to support me from now on!"

Zhao Wenmu opened his arms, as if to hug left and right.

"Think beautifully!"

Zhao Xin ran away without a trace.

Finally scared away the [-]-watt light bulb!

After resting for several days, he thinks he has a great advantage now!
He took Zhao Jing into his arms and was about to do something bad when the little girl suddenly cried out.

"Well! Well!"

"Mom! Mom! The baby called me mom!"

Zhao Jing pushed Zhao Wenmu away involuntarily, and rushed to the little girl.

"Ninny, call mom again, call mom again!"

The little girl has been able to say "baba" and "baba" for a long time, but she still can't say "mother". Zhao Jing once cried because of this incident.

Seeing Zhao Wenmu felt distressed and funny at the same time.

Zhao Wenmu, who was pushed by his wife and staggered, walked over with a wry smile.

Who is more important to my daughter-in-law, me or my daughter-in-law, the result is clear at a glance!

After the little guy howled, he fell silent again.

Zhao Jing was so anxious that tears were about to roll in her eyes.

Zhao Wenmu patted her on the back and picked up the little guy.

"Come on, good baby, call mommy again, mommy!"

The little guy kept his mouth shut and only looked at his parents with big black eyes.

"Bah!"

"Call mom, mom!"

"Bah!"

Zhao Jing is really about to cry now.

While comforting his wife, Zhao Wenmu kept tugging at the little guy.

"mom!"

Finally, the little guy clearly called out the first mother.

"Mommy is here, Mommy is here!"

Zhao Jing held her in her arms, tears welling up in her eyes.

The little guy is her life. On the hardest and most difficult days, she would touch her stomach and say to her and herself:

"Baby, your father doesn't like us. Let's live a good life, okay?"

The existence of the little guy is the motivation for her to work hard to live.

Although Zhao Wenmu got better later on, her love for her little daughter will only grow more and more.

The little guy learned to say "Ba Ba" first, and she was both happy and a little bit wronged.

I can only keep telling myself that the little guy learned this first because he hugged his daughter and taught her "Daddy" every day.

Zhao Jing cried and laughed while hugging her little daughter.

Zhao Wenmu gently held the mother and daughter in his arms, feeling a little resentful in his heart.He knew that his daughter-in-law's gaffe was inseparable from the good things he did before.

Zhao Jing held the little girl in her arms all night and refused to let go, and even slept with the little girl next to her.

Zhao Wenmu was about to fall asleep in a daze when he heard Zhao Jing calling him.

"little brother"

"Well, what's the matter, daughter-in-law?"

Opening his eyes, he saw Zhao Jing stretching out a hand.

Zhao Wenmu stretched out his hand and took that slender hand.

"Little brother, I'm sorry for neglecting you during the day."

Zhao Jing felt a little embarrassed when she thought of how she pushed Zhao Wenmu away.

"it does not matter."

The big hand is holding the small hand, and under the two hands is the little girl who is sleeping on her back.

"Zhao Wenmu, do you want to..."

Only the first three words are needed, and Zhao Wenmu feels hot all over.

But look at the little guy between the two.

Such a young child should not understand anything, right?
Do you understand or not?

He hesitated.

It can't affect the physical and mental health of the girl.

Can't handle that much anymore.

Zhao Wenmu bullied himself.

Well, sure enough, I was still young, and I just played abnormally last time.
