Chapter 368 Why Do People Say My Wife Brings Good Fortune to Her?
"Hey, isn't that a loss of 70,000? Shouldn't we work hard to make up for it this year?"
Boss Qian patted the man's shoulder heavily.
"That's perfect. I need some sand and gravel. Come back and find me."
He looked at Zhang Yugui: "Boss Zhang, are you looking for anything?"
Zhang Yugui: “…”
Why do I have to pay for admission to listen to gossip?
"Leave me your contact information. I'll contact you if I need anything."
The man's bruised eyes suddenly widened, he quickly wiped his eyes, stood up and picked up the wine glass.
"Thank you, boss. Thank you, both bosses!"
He excitedly handed out his business cards, and after the crowd of people had left the box, he looked at Lao Xu curiously: "Who are these?"
Old Xu held his forehead.
"No, brother, how do you do business?"
"Boss Qian Laifu and Boss Zhang Yugui don't know each other? Boss Wu, who makes hardware, and Boss Zhou, who runs a steel mill, were standing behind us just now..."
After Lao Xu finished speaking, he pointed at the man, but didn't say anything harsh. He just sighed.
"Li Chao, this is a blessing in disguise!"
The man chuckled and nodded: "This beating is well deserved. Otherwise, why do they say my wife is a lucky charm for her husband? Isn't it, Brother Xu? Come, let me toast you a glass."
Lao Xu: “…”
Under the tungsten filament lamp, Su Chen, who had just returned from dinner with Zhang Qian and others, watched Old Man Su set up the stove and lit some firewood to test it out.
"Dad, are you going to buy a big iron pot tomorrow?"
Liu Chunhua had stood at the doorway at some point, her hands on her hips. "Don't bother with that. Let your dad go by himself."
Su Chen: “???”
"He went out to play today without the kids, and came back to tell me he's familiar with the place. Shouldn't we let him show off his skills?"
Old Man Su hesitated: "I don't see anyone selling iron pots!"
"If you don't see it, go out and look for it. Can't you ask?"
Old Man Su: “…”
Su Chen felt a little confused.
Honghong is still considerate and comes up to whisper in my ear.
"Dad, my aunt and uncle got lost on their way home from get off work today. They didn't come back until dark, so grandma went out to look for them."
No wonder~
This is a hint at them.
Su Chen turned his head to look at the couple who were fidgeting in the living room, and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Honghong's eyes shining, Su Chen leaned over and said, "Honghong, do you dare to ask for directions?"
Honghong nodded: "I dare!"
"So how's school been these past few days?"
When asked this question, Honghong pouted her lips so much that she almost looked like she was about to have a urinal hung on her mouth.
"Not used to it?"
Honghong shook her little head.
"Dad, they all laugh at my age."
Su Chen felt distressed when he heard this.
Because Honghong had never been to school, she enrolled in the first grade and was in the same class as Apeng.
Honghong, who is ten years old, should be in the fourth grade under normal circumstances. But she is still in the first grade, so she is inevitably laughed at.
"Honghong didn't have the opportunity to go to school because her family was poor. It's her father's fault that she's only in the first grade now."
Honghong waved her hands hurriedly.
"No no……"
The little guy lowered his head and said, "Dad, I'm very happy that I can study. It doesn't matter if they say that. Only a few classmates are like that. Others are not..."
Su Chen touched her head and said, "Honghong, do you want to try hard and skip a grade next semester?"
"Skip a grade?"
"Well, as long as your grades are good, you can apply to skip a grade. Dad, think about it, your sister Qiu is about the same age as you. Do you want to take tutoring classes together? Skip a grade together?"
"Can I?"
"If you don't try, who knows if it will work?"
Hong Hong clenched her fists and said, "Then I will work hard to skip a grade!"
Su Chen smiled and pinched her cheek: "Dad will ask your uncle Ayu to find a reliable tutor tomorrow. You will start tutoring on weekends. From now on, you won't be able to play with your younger brothers and sisters."
"Well, I know."
After convincing everyone, Su Chen went to Aqiu to ask her what she thought.
Aqiu had no opinion and just held her hands tightly without saying a word. Su Chen had no choice but to find Su Xiaozhu and Wu Siwang again.
"Ah Chen, how much does it cost to hire someone for tutoring? Is it expensive?"
"Sis, you don't have much money. If we split it in half, it will be even less."
Su Xiaozhu and Wu Siwang looked at each other, and when they looked up they saw Liu Chunhua and nodded subconsciously.
"Yes, it's okay."
Su Chen: "..."
Liu Chunhua snorted softly: "At least you're not that stupid."
"You two, if you can't remember the way, look back at the road signs. If there are no road signs, look at the shops nearby!"
"Mom, I understand~"
Liu Chunhua scolded him, "Why are you still standing there? Aren't you tired after a long day's work? Go back and rest."
As she spoke, she walked towards the basement, shouting as she walked: "Apeng, Acai, Aqiu, bring your brothers and sisters up, it's time to go to bed!"
There was a rumbling sound below.
Liu Chunhua put her hands on her hips and said, "Remember to turn off the lights."
"Bah!"
The basement went dark.
Su Chen hugged Yueyue, who rushed towards him with a blushing face, and then looked at the two paper figures of Qiyue and Ahao who were in the lead and nodded at them.
When Liu Chunhua saw July Ahao, she couldn't stop smiling.
"Qiyue, ok, you two have worked hard."
He turned around and asked Su Chen if he had anything to reward them.
"Qiyue Ah Hao is so sensible. Your dad went out and asked them to look after the children. They looked after the children very well. I didn't even call out when I was cooking. When they came out to look after the children, they even knew to protect Ah Cai from falling and just lay under him."
Su Chen nodded: "It's pretty good."
"It's more than good. Honghong and the others said they would come back to teach them how to write. When the old man picked them up from school, they all lay down on the big table downstairs to study. They were so serious!"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "It's only been a few days? Let's wait and see, there's no rush."
Liu Chunhua nodded: "Yes, there's no need to worry. By the way, your grandma said she wants to go home, and no matter how much I try to persuade her, it's useless..."
Su Chen subconsciously glanced towards the living room.
"Grandma is asleep?"
"Well, she's been watching TV for several days now, and I guess she's tired of it. Alas, I can't keep her." Liu Chunhua sighed, "Let's watch her tomorrow at noon. If she still wants to go back, Ah Chen, you can take her there."
"it is good."
"And Ah Hu and Ah Tang...it's been several days now, and I don't know if they've sold any paper figurines. Ah Chen, you have to pay more attention to them. They rely on this for a living. You can't just take them to the city and leave them there."
This really reminded Su Chen.
He nodded and said, "I'll go over and check the situation later. If it doesn't work, I'll ask them to take some of the paper figures and horses and put them in Uncle Zhong's shop for consignment."
"Hey," Liu Chunhua seemed to have thought of something, and hurried to the kitchen, quickly bringing out a pot, "Take this over to them as a snack!"
When Su Chen arrived at Fuming Street, almost all the houses on both sides of the street were out of light, leaving only the street lights.
Ahu and Atang's yard was also pitch black, but if you looked closely, you could see a little light inside.
When Su Chen went in, he saw that the fire was not from a candle, but from a small stove.
He laughed, "That's not the way you two save money... Turning on the lights doesn't cost much in electricity bills. On the contrary, when you're making paper figurines, you should try to avoid open flames."
Turning on the light, Su Chen put out the fire in the stove, looked at the paper figurines piled in the corner, and asked, "Has anyone come to buy them these days?"
Ah Hu and Ah Tang lowered their heads silently.
After a pause, Ah Hu said aggrievedly: "Uncle Ah Chen, we sold it at your price, but they thought it was too expensive!"
