Jiang Mei was not feeling well, so she didn't plan to continue talking about this, she got up and stood up: "I'm a little uncomfortable, go to sleep first."

Lin Qi nodded.

He also doesn't think he can solve the problem with just a few words.

When Jiang Mei left, Lin Qi followed the memory of the original body and figured out how much money they had left in exchange.

Their small shop has been in operation for many years. The original couple is actually quite frugal. Jiejie's grades are also good, and they don't spend much money on learning.

But the family savings is not much, only 100,000.

Mainly, they bought the property right of the current commissary in the first two years.

In a previous life, Yuan Shen and Jiang Mei planned to give the canteen to their younger daughter.

The reason is very simple. They say that they are old and will not be able to help the younger daughter's marriage in the future, and the family will not despise her if they set up a shop for her.

As for Jiejie?

Jiejie is good-looking and smart. The days will definitely get better and they won't make them worry.

So they feel they are not biased.

The younger daughter is not as smart and well-behaved as the eldest daughter, so she should take care of her more. This is not partiality, but it is because of this kind of 'people only have common feelings' that it drives Lin Jiejie into a desperate situation.

One hundred thousand cash looks like a lot.

But for an elderly mother who is about to give birth, it is really not much.

At that time, it will cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for production, and 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in exchange for some follow-up recuperation. When it stabilizes, milk powder and other necessary things will be a huge expense every month.

In fact, in the previous life, Yuan Shen and Jiang Mei had a hard time.

They would ask Lin Jiejie for money, and it was true that apart from real estate, they didn't have any cash they could use. They didn't treat their little daughter badly.

I can't buy a new dress all year round, and I eat very simply. I use less if I can. Finally, I find that if I don't wear it, I don't have enough money to exchange it.

Between buying a house and asking their daughter for money, they chose the latter.

At first, I asked for money from my daughter who was in college, and I felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

But as the number of openings increases.

All the uncomfortable emotions were gone, but it was taken for granted.

Not to mention these.

Lin Qi felt that it was necessary for him to make more money before Jiang Mei gave birth.

In exchange for Lin Jiejie, she must not tell Jiang Mei after she gave birth, then Lin Jiejie would definitely consider it a betrayal.

Speaking now, it's actually a bit late, and Lin Jiejie is only a few months away from the college entrance examination. If one is not good, it will affect her study. She has to grasp the degree.

Lin Qi thought that it would be better if it were a few months earlier.

In fact, Lin Jiejie is not disgusted with having one more sister. She is sad that her parents did not tell her in time, and that after her sister was born, her parents were biased and oppressed.

If I told her earlier, maybe she would be looking forward to the birth of her sister together.

And this time.

During the school's inter-class exercise, several students huddled together and chatted.

In the third year of high school, there is a lot of pressure to study. It is rare to have such a break and chat. A group of students gather around, and they can't wait to chat about all the gossip they have accumulated these days.

Some people talk about celebrity scandals.

Some people say where to travel after the college entrance examination.

Someone else said that when there is time in the future, they must follow up on the hit dramas that were broadcast some time ago.

At this time, one person whispered: "Do you know that our school's school flower has an additional younger brother."

"School flower? You're talking about Zhu Xinman. She's already eighteen, and her parents are changing?" Someone asked curiously.

"What's so strange, the second-child policy is open, and many parents are planning to have another child." A short and thin girl pouted: "My parents would have given birth secretly. Now that they can give birth to a second child in an upright manner, many people must be moved. thought."

"I just envy Zhu Xinman. How good is a single woman, my parents will love one, and I won't be partial at all."

"It's not certain in the future. With a younger brother so young, it's not her responsibility to change her parents when they get old? Besides, if it's a boy, she's not allowed to prefer sons to daughters."

One after another, Lin Jiejie couldn't listen anymore, she said softly, "If you don't talk about other people's family affairs, that's because her parents won't treat her badly."

"Who knows." The short and thin girl glanced at Lin Jiejie, "You're good, uncles and aunts are your only child, and I will definitely support you with all my heart in the future, unlike my older sister and lower brother, my parents' thoughts Put it all on my brother, and even took the initiative to tell me that my sister and I are not allowed to worry about the things at home, and it will be given to my brother in the future."

"No way?"

"Aren't you also the child of your uncle and aunt? How can you be so partial?"

"That's too much."

Lin Jiejie didn't say anything, but she felt a little fortunate in her heart.

Thankfully, her parents treated her well.

They have been classmates for several years, but it was her best best friend. She knew too much about Jingjing's original family life. If Jingjing hadn't studied well and was admitted to this high school, her parents would have wanted her to drop out of school. Work to earn money.

This is more than a change, because the family has fined a lot of money for having three children in a row.

Not to mention that life was difficult, but he was very fond of his younger son. He wanted anything, but when Jingjing's shoes were broken, if she wanted to buy a new pair, she would be scolded.

Some sympathy.

At the same time, I miss my parents very much.

She can only go back a month and a half after school starts. Every time she goes back, her father is at home. She hasn't seen her mother for a long time. She really misses them.

Lin Jiejie thought about calling her parents in the evening and telling her to stay at home and not go out, so that she could stay together in a few days when she returned.

At this time, Chen Jingjing came over, and she whispered: "Jie, can you accompany me to do something during the holiday this month?"

"what's up?"

Chen Jingjing said: "I want to go to the bank to ask about college loans. My family can't count on it. They just want me to work and earn money, and they don't want me to continue studying. I think I can get into a good school instead. , they don’t pay tuition fees, the big deal is that I will take out a loan myself, and I will find some part-time jobs and change it later.”

Lin Jiejie admired Jingjing.

Not all students are so courageous, then she may not be able to take out a loan to go to college, and she always feels that the burden is too great.

Nodding his head, "Okay, then after the holiday, you can go home with me for lunch. After dinner, we will ask questions together in the afternoon."

Chen Jingjing was not polite.

Anyway, it's not the first time for me to go to a good best friend's house for dinner. Every time I go, I envy my best friend's good parents. She is unlucky. She will never meet her parents who love her wholeheartedly in her life, but she can look at her best friend's parents. Yeah, every time I see the way they get along, I feel happy for my girlfriend.

At night.

Lin Jiejie called her home. She first told her what had happened recently, and then told her mother not to go out this month. In other words, Jingjing would come to their house for dinner after the holiday.

Lin Qi responded mildly and promised her to make her favorite braised pork on the day of the holiday.

After waiting for half an hour, hang up the phone.

Jiang Mei, who was sitting next to her, frowned: "What kind of braised pork to eat, how expensive is the meat now."

I read it in my mouth, but I was thinking in my heart, which one has the best pork belly, and then cook it with a pot of high melon, my daughter will definitely like it.

Lin Qi asked her, "Did you stay at home that day?"

"Of course I can't stay at home." Jiang Mei answered without thinking about it. Wouldn't she reveal her secrets if she stayed at home? Of course she had to hide it, "I'll stay with my parents and call me if you have anything. ."

Lin Qi looked at her with disapproval in her eyes.

Jiang Mei didn't like the look in his eyes, "Don't look at me like that, Jiejie is about to take the college entrance examination, but she can't be distracted at this time. If you delay her exam, can you afford it?"

Lin Qi was not talking. Since Jiang Mei had this attitude, forget it. Anyway, he would definitely say it, but he would not say it so directly, it was very euphemistic.

He said, "Then you should go earlier, and stay there for a few more days."

Jiang Mei also means this, her husband's family and her family's family are naturally comfortable to stay at her family's house. She often runs to her family's house on weekdays.

I want to complain to my relatives about Lin Qi, but I said it well before, but now I hide it from Jiejie, what can I do? The children are all pregnant, so I can't just say no now.

Lin Qi probably knew what she was thinking.

In the original memory, I was most afraid that my daughter-in-law would go to her mother's house and chat with those talkative relatives of her mother's house, and some nonsensical thoughts would always pop up.

Even about the second child, Jiang Mei heard from those relatives, saying that raising more children is good, but not mentioning the difficulty of raising children at all.

Especially for them, who don't have much income and are old enough to have a daughter who is in a critical period, it is really unwise to have children at this time.

But Jiang Mei didn't think that, she only thought that having a second child was a very wise decision.

In exchange, it can even reduce the burden of her daughter's retirement in the future. If the eldest daughter is not doing well in the future, in exchange for having a younger brother and sister to support her, see how wonderful it is.

The original body also felt good, and as soon as the two agreed, they made preparations for pregnancy.

Lin Qi can imagine how many things Jiang Mei will hear when she goes back this time, but he didn't plan to stop it, just listen, anyway, it won't be him who will be upset in the end.

The next day, Lin Qi was about to go to the small shop after breakfast, but Jiang Mei stopped him and said, "I'll go buy meat later, I'll take a ride to the country after I'm done, go there for a week and then come back, My stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't walk if I want to."

Lin Qi nodded as an answer, "If you want, just stay for a few more days."

Jiang Mei responded.

Lin Qi went out.

Their commissary is not too far from the house, and can be reached in ten minutes or so on foot. The commissary is not small in size, with an area of ​​more than 80 square meters. It happens to be located on the street between the gates of the two communities. On weekdays, the business is good, but The profit is low, except for the holidays, which is two to three thousand a month. If you encounter the days of the New Year and the festival, the income will be much higher.

Otherwise, when people come to buy for the New Year, in addition to making a fortune from customers, they can also get a commission from the dealer, and the income from both ends will not be small.

However, this happens only once or twice a year, and it is really difficult to rely on the canteen to make money to support two children.

Unless, expand the business model.

Expanded from a commissary to a small supermarket.

But in this way, the investment will be much larger, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover the cost. Jiang Mei has to produce in three months, which is not enough time.

If you want to make money, get another idea.

However, the canteen Lin Qi did not intend to continue.

In fact, the original body does not know how to calculate an account.

Because this street is at the gate of two communities, it is not bad for customers.

However, because they are all home-based businesses, except for the canteen, all other shops are restaurants and restaurants, and the business is also good.

In other words, the houses here are not worried about renting out at all.

More than 80 square meters, separated into two rooms.

The monthly rent alone can be compared to the monthly income of the commissary.

In other words, if he stays at home and waits to collect the money, he can earn two or three thousand back, which is better than running a grocery store by himself.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need for him to run this commissary.

After going to the store, he dug out a few pieces of white paper from the warehouse, and then used a brush to write the words “clearing goods and sublease” on it, striving to clear the contents of the store before Jiang Mei came back. , and then determine the tenant.

The goods in the store cleared faster than expected.

Lin Qi didn't think about earning back the cost, starting from ten items, all 50% off.

Within two days, most of the goods in the store were cleared out. During this period, several people also came to ask about the subletting of the store.

One of the steamed buns shop plans to wait for the shop to be converted into two compartments and then take a look. There is quite the idea of ​​leasing.

this day.

Lin Qi didn't plan to go to the shop, but stewed braised pork at home. Jiang Mei only bought a small piece of pork belly, which was not enough for the three of them.

He bought two more ribs and stewed them together.

Became braised pork ribs, the taste is still good.

At noon, Lin Jiejie brought Chen Jingjing home together. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled the smell of meat, which made their saliva almost drool.

Lin Jiejie took off her shoes and ran to the kitchen immediately, "Dad, the braised pork is delicious, when can we eat it."

Lin Qi turned back, "You go and put on your slippers first."

Lin Jiejie stuck out the tip of her tongue, and then jumped out of the kitchen. After a while, Lin Qihuan could hear Lin Jiejie cheerfully telling her friends that she would be able to eat something delicious later.

Chen Jingjing came over, "Uncle, I'm coming to your house for dinner again."

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Welcome, you must eat more later."

Chen Jingjing responded quickly.

Lin's house is not big, just two bedrooms and one living room. Lin Jiejie didn't see her mother at home, so she asked, "Dad, is your mother in the supermarket? How about I bring her some food later?"

I haven't seen my mother for months, she really misses it.

Lin Qi said, "She went to your grandfather's house."

Lin Jiejie pouted, "Why did you go to Grandpa's house again? No, I want to call her. I haven't seen each other for so long. Why doesn't she miss me at all?"

While holding Jingjing's room, he made a phone call, but the phone rang a few times and no one answered.

Lin Jiejie could only regretfully throw her phone on the bed.

Chen Jingjing looked at it and asked strangely, "You haven't seen Auntie for a long time?"

Lin Jiejie nodded, "It's been more than three months, and every time she comes back from vacation, she's not there, either to play with friends or to go to grandparents' house."

Chen Jingjing couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Is the phone still unable to get through?"

"Is that so? I talked to her on the phone two days ago, and I asked her to stay at home and wait for me. I didn't think about it, and went out again." Lin Jiejie regretted, if it wasn't for the grandfather's house that was some way from here, Then promise Jingjing to go to the bank together in the afternoon, otherwise she will go directly to her grandfather's house.

Chen Jingjing opened her mouth.

I wanted to say something but didn't say a word, and finally thought about closing my mouth instead. Saying something would hurt people.

And in the kitchen.

While Lin Qi was cooking, he thought about the girl who greeted him just now.

In a previous life, Lin Jiejie had a very good best friend, who would accompany and help her when she was at a low point. Similarly, Chen Jingjing's original family, Lin Jiejie, was in trouble, but Chen Jingjing knew how to resist.

She would never agree to the family asking her to pay for her younger brother to study, to buy a house and a car for his younger brother to get married.

You can be filial to your parents, but the big deal is to send back some money every month as a pension for your parents.

But let her dedicate herself to raising her younger brother's family, then she will never do it.

Chen Jingjing persuaded Lin Jiejie more than once or twice not to be sucked by her family all the time, and she had to live for herself no matter what.

Ke Lin Jiejie and Chen Jingjing are two completely different personalities.

According to Chen Jingjing's words, she is too bun, not her own responsibility, but she has to carry it on her own.

It's okay to be filial to your parents.

Do as much as you can.

Originally, the salary was not high, but in the end, he ignored himself and spent it all on his parents and sister. Do you really think that you should be dedicated when you were born?

Unfortunately, in the end, Chen Jingjing still failed to persuade her.

After Lin Jiejie disappeared, Chen Jingjing has been helping to find her, but she has her own family.

Yuanshen and Jiang Mei were reluctant to admit what happened to Lin Jiejie, but Chen Jingjing didn't want to admit it, but had to admit that she would burn extra incense sticks at Qingming to talk to her best friend.
