Chapter 165 – Danhong, You Want to Have Another Baby?
With the help of the uncles and aunts, the business in the college town quickly established itself there.
Currently, Ji Jianyun makes a delivery once a day, or every other day. He would arrive at two o’clock in the afternoon, and go home at eight or nine o’clock in the evening with the day’s earnings.
The business had been very good in the past two weeks. In that time period, he collected nearly 1,000 yuan.
Aside from the 20% discount on the first day where more than 400 yuan was earned, the following days were more stable. There was about 40 yuan of income every day, which was not bad for the business.
However, after deducting gas for a round trip and the cost of producing the goods, the profit was actually relatively low.
But it would always be good to have a shop over in the college town, and since the shop had been bought, it couldn’t be empty, right?
And the reason why the earnings were not high was because there was not much to sell from the orchard. If the neighboring orchard was successful, and the chicken shed and sheep shed were built, then the supply of goods would be sufficient, and it would definitely be sold.
Of course, this was how Ji Jianyun explained it.
Su Danhong didn’t think that was acceptable. She asked Ji Jianyun, “When will second brother-in-law learn to drive?”
Every time her husband made a delivery from their home to the college town, it was two and a half hours. That was about three hours, and about six hours total.
Driving was not easy. It was so tiring. She didn’t want Ji Jianyun to work so hard, especially with such low earnings.
Ji Jianyun counted the days and said, “It will still take a few days.”
Learning to drive now was not as troublesome as learning in the future. It was very fast. Once a person learns it, they can take the exam.
As Ji Jianyun had expected, Ji Jianye came back three days later after learning to drive. Su Danhong saw her second brother-in-law and sensed a spirited energy from him.
Ji Jianyun asked him to take him around for a drive. Ji Jianye drove really well, so Ji Jianyun planned to take him to work tomorrow.
Su Danhong wasn’t too concerned anymore. The issue was over as soon as she cooked a meal and treated him.
The next day the brothers set out.
Su Danhong took Qiqi and Renren to the orchard.
“Did Jianyun and Jianye go to the college town?” Mother Ji asked with a smile.
When Ji Jianye came back yesterday from learning to drive, Ji Jianyun also came up the mountain and told her about it. She was very happy. Lao Er had a skill now.
Although she was not very satisfied with Lao Da’s family, especially after last New Year’s argument, she had a generally positive opinion of Feng Fangfang.
She hoped that Lao Da’s family would live well. The department store in the town had been renovated and rebuilt. They would be busy and both families had been given great opportunities.
As a mother, she naturally hoped that her children would live well.
Su Danhong replied, “Yes, Jianyun will take second brother-in-law to learn the roads. He will know it after going once or twice. Then he will let second brother-in-law go by himself.”
It was such hard work that she didn’t want to let Jianyun continue. It was not like supervising the work on the orchard.
“When he learns it, let him go by himself.” Mother Ji nodded. She then asked about Sun Dashen and Sister He’s situation with the shop. “Are they both keeping good financial accounts? I can ask father to take down clear receipts.”
The records must be good. At the end of the month, the account books were given to Danhong to check.
Su Danhong chuckled and said, “I will be very thorough.”
In terms of account books, it was necessary to be clear, since it was good for everyone involved.
“Mother, are the strawberries almost done growing now?” Su Danhong asked.
“The strawberries are almost done. The watermelons and cherries are almost ready and will need to be picked,” Mother Ji replied with a smile.
This year’s watermelons and cherries were as good as last year’s, and she can get half of the profits from the watermelon. She didn’t get any profits from the cherries, but it didn’t matter. Her son earned it anyway, so it was fine. It was still in the family.
“Yunyun called the other day and said that she would come back to help this year,” Mother Ji said at this time.
“Sister-in-law does not need to attend class?” Su Danhong asked to be polite.
She really had no idea about what was going on with Ji Yunyun.
“It will be vacation time. She said she won’t be working a summer job,” Mother Ji clarified.
“Then we will let sister-in-law come back to help, and I will also calculate her pay,” Su Danhong said.
Mother Ji said with a smile, “How is that money necessary? I don’t know how much fruit she will eat when she is in the mood for it.”
“Is that a problem? There’s so much fruit as far as the eye can see. Can she swallow it in one gulp? Just ask her to come,” Su Danhong said. Although she did not get along with Ji Yunyun, she had to tolerate Ji Yunyun. If she wanted to come back, she wouldn’t be living with her anyway.
Mother Ji nodded. She had nothing else to say to Lao San’s wife. Everything was up to her.
At this moment , Yan’er brought over a bowl of washed strawberries. “Third aunt, eat some strawberries.”
“Thank you Yan’er,” Su Danhong said to her with a smile.
Yan’er nodded and let her eat. Su Danhong ate one. “It’s sweet and delicious.”
Yan’er looked at Qiqi in the stroller and said, “My little brother still can’t eat yet.”
Renren came back with a small watering can. He heard what was just said, so he chimed, “My brother is still young. When he is as old as me, he will eat it.” Then he took a strawberry and ate it.
“Renren, you didn’t wash your hands,” Yan’er immediately said.
Renren was caught off guard and said, “I watered the plants.”
“Fine.” Yan’er looked at the small watering can in his hand and nodded. She also took one and ate it with him. She asked, “Why didn’t you come up this morning, Renren? Fatty was looking for you.”
“I was reading with my brother at home,” Renren responded.
“Third aunt is with younger brother. You can play with me now,” Yan’er said.
Renren looked at his mother.
Su Danhong smiled. “You can play, but you can’t be too naughty.”
“Okay.” Renren nodded, and his sister led him to play.
“Yan’er has been raised very well by mother. If I have a daughter, I will need your help,” Su Danhong complimented.
Mother Ji knew that she was honestly praising her. She laughed. “I didn’t take care of Yan’er. She grew up on her own. You bought her the clothes she is wearing right now.” She suddenly had a realization and asked, “Danhong, do you want to have another baby?”
“I plan on it.” Su Danhong nodded.
Mother Ji had to say, “You already have Renren and Qi. Two is enough.”
Two sons was pretty average, but there was family planning now. Two sons was enough. If they had a third child, the fine would be 4,000 yuan. WIth 4,000 yuan, an apartment could be bought.
When Ji Jianwen was buying a place, how much was it? It was 2,000 yuan. With 4,000 yuan, that was almost equal to two apartments!
After giving birth to a third child, they would be punished at the cost of two apartments. How could Mother Ji not feel stressed?
