Although it has been many years since the reform and opening up, some old rules are still preserved.

In most areas of Quyang County, there is still a custom of men and women sitting at different tables.

Especially when there is a banquet, basically men drink at one table and women do not drink at another.

If there are men who do not drink, they will be chased to the women's side.

But there are not so many rules for family banquets.

The whole family sits together to eat happily.

The reason why Li Guixiang is like this is all because of Liang Xiaocui.

Liang Xiaocui has been oppressed by Grandma Meng for so many years, and finally waited for the new daughter-in-law to come in, so she had to show off her face as a mother-in-law.

Liang Xiaocui tormented Li Guixiang for many years, until Li Guixiang's family used their connections to get her to work in a textile factory, and her miserable life ended.

It's just that after being tormented by Liang Xiaocui for so many years, some life customs have been deeply rooted in her bones, which is why she didn't eat lunch at the same table with Meng Haisheng today.

Li Guixiang, who was a little embarrassed, glanced at Meng Jincheng.

"Hurry up and sit down to eat. We are all brothers. There is no need to be so particular."

Li Guixiang finally sat down after repeated invitations from everyone and ate lunch with everyone.

While chatting, Meng Haisheng asked about Meng Kun and Meng Qingqing going to elementary school.

"Sister-in-law, if I set up a small daycare center at the textile factory to help everyone pick up their children after school, do you think it is feasible?"

Li Guixiang didn't expect Meng Haisheng to ask her on his own initiative.

"Is the small daycare you mentioned the same as a kindergarten?"

"Almost, but mine only accepts elementary school students."

"There should be a lot of dual-income families around the textile factory. Everyone is busy at work and has no time to pick up their children."

"My small daycare has teachers who help pick up students and can also watch elementary school students do their homework."

"After get off work, parents don't have to rush to pick up their children. Go home and cook first. When the parents finish cooking, go to the small daycare to pick up the children and go home. You can eat directly without watching the children do their homework."

At present, whether in the county or the village, elementary school students who are close to school basically walk home by themselves after school, and parents will pick up those who are a little farther away.

Meng Haisheng still has a very high risk in opening this small daycare.

"If you really run such a small daycare, I will immediately take Xiaokun and Qingqing back to the county to attend elementary school."

Li Guixiang knows better than anyone that Liang Xiaocui will definitely not be able to take care of two children.

But if both children are taken back to the county, she will work three shifts and will not be able to take care of two children.

If there is a daycare center, give her some buffer time.

Even if she has no time to take care of the children during the middle shift, Meng Jincheng can go to the daycare center after get off work to pick up the two of them.

"Are all the workers in the textile factory of Dasao working in three shifts?"

"Not only the textile factory, but also the machinery factory, if there is a big order, will work in three shifts, and the machines will run 24 hours a day."

Meng Haisheng was secretly happy, so his risk would be much lower. For a dual-income family working in three shifts, picking up and dropping off children is probably their biggest concern.

If both of them work in the middle shift, the children can only stay at home alone.

Meng Haisheng estimated that there were a total of 20 to 30 children who signed up for the textile factory and the machinery factory, and his daycare center could be run.

If Meng Xuan was allowed to open a math and Chinese cram school, he might make more money.

Meng Haisheng told everyone about his idea and listened to everyone's opinions.

"Haisheng, how much do you charge for each child in this small daycare? If it's too much, I'm afraid people won't be able to accept it. If it's too little, you have to rent a house and buy tables and chairs. Don't lose money."

"It's relatively cheap at the beginning, three yuan per person per month."

"That's okay. Although my two children have to spend an extra six yuan per month, as long as I have the children around, I'm willing to do it."

Meng Haisheng's confidence doubled after hearing Li Guixiang's words.

In his previous life, Meng Haisheng had seen many examples of various cram schools and small daycares making money.

If he could expand the daycare and cram schools, it would definitely not be difficult to make money.

"Brother, I'll leave the matter of renting a house to you. I'm not very familiar with this area, so I can only ask you to help me with it."

"Okay, I'll write to you in the next few days."

Meng Jincheng also hoped very much that his two children would go back to the county to go to school, and he was very positive about this matter.

After get off work in the afternoon, he rode his bicycle around, wanting to quickly get Meng Haisheng to set up the nursery class.

On the other hand, after Meng Haisheng returned home, he immediately went to Grandpa Meng's house to talk to his aunt Meng Xuan about setting up the nursery class.

He had just stepped into the yard and hadn't spoken yet when he heard Liang Xiaocui's scream from the house.

"Meng Xuan, what a good marriage you said, why don't you agree?""Your cousin is not someone else, how can she harm you?"

"The man is quite capable in Anxin City, and seems to be a minor official. If you marry him, you will be the wife of an official. Such a good thing is something that others want but cannot get."

"Sister-in-law, if you like him so much, then you can marry him."

Meng Xuan's voice was already filled with tears.

"Why are you talking like that? I am doing this for your own good."

"The man is already over 30, divorced and has a child. If I marry him, I will be a stepmother. That's why I don't want to."

Listening to the conversation in the room, Meng Haisheng thought of his aunt, who seemed to have started dating in the past two years.

In the end, she couldn't stand the persuasion of her distant cousin and really married to Anxin City.

Her husband is more than 10 years older than her, and they lived happily in the first few years.

However, Meng Xuan gave birth to two girls, and various conflicts often broke out in the family.

Later, his stepson's academic performance was always poor in school, and her husband blamed everything on Meng Xuan, and the conflict between her and her husband became more and more serious.

Later, her stepson married and had children, and took away almost half of their family property. When Meng Xuan was sick, Meng Haisheng paid for a nurse.

Her husband didn't care at all. When Meng Haisheng died, Meng Xuan and her husband had been separated for many years.

Meng Xuan's marriage in her previous life was really unhappy.

She had been a stepmother and a nanny for a lifetime, and in the end, her stepson accused her of abusing him.

Meng Haisheng didn't want Meng Xuan to do such a thankless job again.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? I heard you yelling in the alley."

Meng Haisheng entered the house with some stewed food.

Grandpa Meng and Grandma Meng were at home. Meng Xuan sat cross-legged on the kang with red eyes, and Liang Xiaocui, who was talking and spitting, was opposite her.

"Haisheng is here. I heard that you went to the county to deliver earthworms again today."

When Liang Xiaocui saw Meng Haisheng carrying something into the house, she quickly got off the kang and took the things in Meng Haisheng's hand.

When she saw that there was braised meat in it, the smile on her face instantly deepened.

"I went to the county today, and I also went to Brother Jincheng's house for lunch."

Grandpa Meng sat in the innermost window seat on the kang. The dry tobacco he smoked was a bit choking.

He knocked on the pipe in his hand and said, "Brothers should walk around more."

"Jincheng is busy and tired at work, and he only has a break at noon. If you go, he won't have a lunch break."

Liang Xiaocui's mouth, as long as she opens her mouth, there is nothing good to say.

In the past, the relationship between the brothers of the Meng family was cold, and she often made a lot of nonsense.
