Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

Gu Chun continued, "There are many people setting up stalls on the street now, selling vegetables and food.

Food is the best to sell, because everyone is a factory worker. Sometimes they are too busy and have no time to cook, so they want to buy ready-made food. "

He Ling listened and gradually became a little shaken...

Gu Chun just came up with it as soon as she thought about it, and she just fooled her around. The more she talked about it, the more she thought it was a good idea.

"Moreover, auntie, think about it. If we go to the city, we won't work in the food factory, so that they won't be angry with you all day long.

If you make money from selling steamed buns, you can buy a house in Beicheng. From now on, Pearl will have a house. "

He Ling was only slightly shaken by the previous reasons, but when it came to buying a house for Gu Zhenzhu, her mind immediately changed.

The couple also had this idea when they saw Gu Chun buying a house before.

Gu Zhenzhu is now in college. No matter what, she will never return to the village in the future.

If you're in the city, you need a place to stay.

There is only one daughter in their family, and the couple will definitely want to get closer to her daughter in the future.

The best thing is to have a house in the city.

The dividends from the food factory, plus the two people's salaries, now have a thousand yuan saved.

Not enough to buy a house.

If it was really possible to set up a stall and sell steamed buns in the city...

Gu Chun saw the two of them deep in thought and said nothing.

Let them think about it themselves before making a decision.

People are humble when they leave their hometown. They have lived in the countryside for decades. If they want to leave suddenly, it will definitely be difficult for them to make up their minds.

Gu Zhenzhu actually wanted her parents to go to the city. She was usually very busy with school and could only go home during long holidays.

If her parents came to the city, she could see them more often.

Gu Zhenzhen is the only child in the family. Her parents are still young now. If she is not at home when they get old in the future, she will be worried that they will get sick and have no one to take care of them.

But she didn't rush her parents to make a decision. This kind of thing had to be done slowly.

It is unrealistic to ask them to leave the village all at once.

……

Gu Chun was ready to go home, and Uncle Gu's family sent them to the entrance of the village to wait for the bus.

When we got on the bus, there were still many people.

The family was still crowded together, and a car full of people drove towards the city.

Xiao Zhuzi met his uncle today and spent another day playing with Qinghai. He was very satisfied.

I was not tired even standing on the bus, looking at the scenery outside the window and chattering.

Only Gu Dong talked to him.

The other people were not as energetic as the two children, so they leaned on the car and let go...

The car drove for more than an hour and finally arrived at the station.

Gu Chun took a few people out of the car and walked home.

It’s almost Chinese New Year and the streets are very lively.

Many stalls are still set up, and every household lights up red lanterns, creating a lively and festive atmosphere that will be difficult to see in later generations.

……

The next day, Gu Chun got up early and explained to several children,

"Let's do some general cleaning in the morning. In the afternoon, Xiaoqiu and Yun Zheng will write couplets together. Write more. We need to post them on many doors in our house."

"Axia will go to Master Zhang's with Xiao Zhuzi in the afternoon to see if he can help with the cleaning.

Master Xiao plans to celebrate the New Year at Master Zhang’s place. The two old men don’t know if they have prepared the New Year’s goods. As apprentices, you two should take care of them. "

Both brothers nodded obediently.

After making arrangements, they started cleaning.

Their courtyard house is very large, with less than half of the rooms occupied by regular residents.

So cleaning only these rooms and the living room is enough.

It didn't take long after I moved in, and it's still very clean.

Five people worked together to clean everything by noon.

Gu Chun also went to check out the unused rooms at the back.

It's a pity to leave it like this. After the new year, we should think about how to arrange it and make use of this space.

It's really sad to think about it. She once thought that the house in the courtyard was too crowded and worried that there was no room for people to live there.

Now I think the house is too big.

But that's just what she was thinking about. If she had to choose, she would definitely want a big house, and it would be such a high-end house.

In the afternoon, Gu Xia took Xiao Zhuzi out.

Gu Chun took Gu Dong and watched Gu Qiu write couplets in the yard.

Song Yunzheng also came to help.

The two of them stood in a row, with their heads lowered and their hands raised, writing.

Gu Chun doesn't quite understand, but she thinks her sister's handwriting is very beautiful now.

Although he is still a little behind Song Yunzheng, Song Yunzheng has been practicing since childhood and is at the level of a master.

What Gu Qiu wrote was more beautiful than what he saw posted on other people's doors yesterday.

Gu Chun and Gu Dong sat there eating melon seeds and making comments.

Gu Dong agreed, "My third sister's writing is really good. Can we go sell the couplets?"

Gu Dong saw his two sisters setting up stalls a while ago, and she wanted to come too.

But Gu Chun's stall was too busy to take care of her.

She was young and there were many people on the street. They were afraid that she would be lost, so they didn't let her go.

It seems like it would be good to go out and sell couplets. It doesn't matter how much money you make, but it would also be good to let Gu Qiu practice his writing?

Gu Qiu also thought it would work. She already had experience setting up a stall some time ago, so it would be good to make some money by selling couplets.

But she was a little doubtful, could anyone really buy it at her level?

"Don't worry, I think your writing is very good, better than the average person anyway.

We don’t sell them very expensively. The red paper used for a pair of couplets costs about 30 cents, plus the pen and ink, the cost is 50 cents.

Let's sell them for 80 cents each. "

Song Yunzheng also wanted to go together. He had wanted to experience setting up a stall with Gu Qiu before, but they were selling clothes and he didn't understand, so he didn't bother.

Writing couplets this time is his strong point.

Professor Song and Teacher Shen were highly educated people, and Gu Chun was afraid that they wouldn't like the smell of copper.

Let Song Yunzheng go home and ask his parents for their opinion.

Song Yunzheng felt that his father must have agreed, but he still went back and asked obediently.

Sure enough, Professor Song not only did not object, but also found it very interesting.

He is not a pedantic person to begin with. Now that there are so many people setting up stalls outside, he does not discriminate. They just have different professions.

What's more, setting up a stall can also exercise your children.

Professor Song even brought Song Yunzheng here personally, intending to help them.

So there was another table in the yard.

The three of them wrote all afternoon, and only chose three types of words and sentences for the couplets. The few sentences that they often write,

"Every year will be smooth sailing, and everything goes well every year."

"Prosperity, wealth, luck, family prosperity, people prosperity, career prosperity."

"Celebrating the New Year with laughter and cheering, and gathering together to welcome the New Year."

I wrote more than thirty paintings, totaling a hundred.

I also wrote dozens of blessing characters.

Gu Qiu was a little worried that so many would not be sold out.

Gu Chun disagreed, "With only a hundred pairs, why can't we sell them all? A family may have to buy two or three pairs."

Gu Dong was also very confident, "Third sister, if you, Brother Yunzheng, and Uncle Song write so beautifully, they will definitely be sold out."

She assured, patting her chest.

"Dong'er has so much confidence in us?" Professor Song doesn't have a daughter. He has always liked the little guy Gu Dong and teases her from time to time.

Gu Dong nodded, "Of course, you are all super powerful, and my eldest sister knows how to sell things, so don't worry."

Gu Dong is still a big sister, she thinks that her eldest sister can succeed in anything she does.

Gu Chun was also helpless, "You have let me know all your lies. If I can't sell it, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"

Professor Song smiled gently and said, "Gu Chun, it's okay. We can sell as much as we can. The main thing is to let the children experience the hard work of making money."
