Chapter 109 Investing in Feng Hongjuan
Everyone was having a meal, and there were more people setting off fireworks outside, and from time to time, fireworks were blooming. They were watching through the glass while eating.
Gu Xia felt very happy. She had been celebrating the New Year herself before traveling through time. This was the first time she watched fireworks with others. She hoped that someone would accompany her to celebrate the New Year next year.
After dinner, Feng Hongjuan took out her own firecrackers: "Let's go firecrackers, and they will be very prosperous next year!"
Feng Tiansheng lit firecrackers, which were igniting and exploded. A firelight on the ground was also roaring loudly. Gu Xia covered her ears, and her face was so cold that it hurt, but she was particularly happy.
The next day, Gu Xia and Feng Tiansheng were invited to Li Xiaodie's house for dinner.
Ma Bin and a few people who often help, came and were sitting next to the table playing poker. Ma Bin was also very busy and had no rest all year round. He was very happy to have two days off occasionally.
I was having a good time when I saw Gu Xia and the others coming in, they all smiled and said hello.
Ma Bin felt a little sad when he saw Feng Tiansheng and Gu Xia so close. No wonder he didn't choose me. However, he was not jealous and shook hands sincerely with Feng Tiansheng. Both of them were in uniforms and had a common language.
Li Xiaodie warmly welcomed everyone and took out peanuts, candy cubes and dates. She liked to eat spicy food, so the dishes prepared were all hot.
As the saying goes: satisfy your cravings, spicy and salty.
The men here all enjoyed their meals. Gu Xia then realized that Feng Tiansheng also liked spicy food, and his forehead was full of sweat. Gu Xia didn't know about it before, and thought to himself that he must have accommodated a lot for me. Yesterday's New Year's Eve dinner was not spicy, so I had to prepare a spiciness for him when I cook in the future.
Gu Xia was just thinking about it, but Li Xiaodie said to cook dumplings and took Gu Xia to the kitchen.
As soon as he got there, Li Xiaodie smiled and stuffed an envelope to Gu Xia: "You have worked so hard for more than a month. It's your credit for our family to survive. This is for you."
The thick envelope is full of money. Although I don’t know how much it is, there must be a lot of it.
Gu Xia quickly pushed back: "I don't want this anymore!"
"Just take it! You have been taking care of me all the time I lived in your house. Thanks to you, I would not be able to continue my business without you. I will tell you that our family has made a lot of money these days! It's all your credit, and you are also the little lucky star of our couple."
Li Xiaodie thought at first that this time was going to be completely finished. Without anyone helping, she wouldn't have enough food this month? But unexpectedly, Gu Xia helped them solve their big troubles and the business has been pretty good.
She stuffed the money into Gu Xia's hand tough: "Don't tear me up, take it! Go over and have a meal quickly! Don't worry, I'm not a big money either, I can't give you much money. Don't dislike you. Cook dumplings quickly!"
Gu Xia had to accept it after hearing this.
The meal was not over until dark. They wanted to play mahjong, but Gu Xia and Feng Tiansheng said goodbye.
When he got home, Gu Xia took out the money in the envelope and counted it to 200 yuan!
Gu Xia was a little dumbfounded at the time: "This is too much! I have to return it!"
"Just take it for you." Feng Tiansheng said.
Feng Hongjuan also smiled and said, "You have worked hard, and I haven't seen her mother-in-law not taking care of her confinement? If someone was willing to take care of me when I was pregnant, I would be willing to pay 200 yuan. This is already very cheap."
Gu Xia had no choice but to accept it. She would do something for her if she had the chance.
Feng Hongjuan asked her how she planned to deal with the 7,000 yuan: "If you can trust me, why not give me the early fund to do business. I plan to open a noodle shop. If I make money in the future, I will return the principal and interest to you."
Gu Xia laughed and said, "Okay. As long as the interest rate is higher than the bank, I will make a profit."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely high. Both of you have money in my hands, and I promise to let you both take advantage!" Feng Hongjuan smiled and said, "My family once did business in the city. Oil-splashing noodles and fried noodles are unique skills. The business is good, but that shop has no share, so I inherited it for my brothers. But I believe that my skills are good and I can definitely do it."
Feng Tiansheng also nodded: "No. Our store used to be so good, but it was not allowed to open it later."
After Feng Hongjuan got married, she thought about building a snack stall to make money, but at that time she regarded this as a speculative thing, and even the people in the city looked down on business, even if they made a lot of money, it would not work.
Her husband felt embarrassed and forced her to give up and had to go to work.
Later, her children became more and more busier and she had no choice. She had delayed her dream of opening a store for more than twenty years, which was also a pity.
Now she can finally live for herself, and there are more people doing business, and she doesn't care about her so-called reputation. She is determined to do it well.
Gu Xia said: "Okay, I believe you can succeed, aunt."
Feng Hongjuan wrote an IOU to her and Feng Tiansheng, which was lent to her, and she would definitely return it to him with all her capital and profits.
As for how much she could get back, Gu Xia didn't take it seriously. The money was an unexpected gain, and she never dreamed of it. She thought that if my aunt really started the store, she would definitely help.
In the next few days, Gu Xia was very happy. Feng Tiansheng took her to several places, watch fireworks, ice lantern exhibitions, skiing and skating in the mountains, and museums in the city for exhibitions. He had to go out for most of the day every day and study at home in the afternoon.
Feng Tiansheng treats her like his sister. Both of them grow up alone and both experience each other's warmth.
Good days always pass very quickly. It soon came on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. After eating dumplings made with leeks and eggs made by my aunt and Gu Xia, Feng Tiansheng set off back.
Gu Xia sent him to the train station, and the two of them said goodbye on the platform. She felt a little uncomfortable. But she still smiled and said, "Be careful and take good care of yourself!"
"Don't worry, the winter has passed over there, and life will be much better in the future. I will write to you."
Gu Xia nodded and said, "Okay!"
Feng Tiansheng suddenly plucked up the courage and said, "We don't have a name, so I'll call you a girl from now on, just call me brother."
"Okay!" Gu Xia simply agreed: "Brother, take care of yourself!"
Feng Tiansheng's eyes narrowed when he smiled, waved to her and jumped into the car.
Gu Xia followed the train for a few steps and watched the car leave. She watched the train disappear into the gray fog, and felt a faint sadness in her heart. When will the next time we meet?
