Captain Zhao let out a long sigh, "Getting electricity might require the members to chip in some money."
"Still, we’ll go by the household."
Captain Zhao knew this as well.
"Need to have a meeting to ask."
Installing electricity is a good thing for the members.
We also need to organize the young and strong men in the team to build roads and ditches.
Over in Capital City.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, a new jewelry store has opened near us, and their stuff sells for quite a bit less," Zhao Xinxin informed Yun Xiaoxiao as soon as she heard the news.
A new jewelry store opened nearby?
Yun Xiaoxiao wasn’t surprised at all.
Many people are followers.
They think that because her jewelry store is doing well, they want to open one too.
"Little sister, the items I sell in my shop are unique, and the goods from Hong Kong are not so easy to get," she said.
Even though it might siphon off some customers, she couldn’t block the competition.
Without comparison, there’s no damage.
"Don’t worry, I plan to bring in some new stock in a couple of days."
Seeing that her sister-in-law wasn’t worried,
Zhao Xinxin knew her sister-in-law was very smart.
So, she wasn’t worried either.
Zhang Lanhua and Cao Dali moved out to live on their own, renting a single room that had enough space for a small living room. It cost six yuan a month, plus living expenses.
In the end, a subsidy of thirty yuan was settled on.
Now, just the family of four remained in the house, along with the Zhao Tianhe siblings.
Zhao Xinxin can cook, and under Yun Xiaoxiao’s guidance, her cooking skills have improved.
"We also plan to rent a shopfront," said Zhao Tianlei, who announced the idea.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at him, "Better to buy, otherwise, if the business is good and the landlord kicks us out, my shop would have been nearly lost to envy. Luckily, the landlord needed money so I could buy it."
When they heard this, Zhao Tianlei and the others looked towards Yun Xiaoxiao; they hadn’t known about this.
The sister-in-law was not in the shop but still knew about these things.
"I’ll invest a share too," said Zhao Tianhe.
Of course, Tianhe had no objections.
The sister-in-law had money on hand, and since they came to Capital City, they had been mostly staying and eating with her, and she hadn’t let them pay any living expenses.
Now that Dali had moved out, he had a room to himself.
"Also, if it’s cold, just plug in the electric blanket, which has high, medium, and low settings."
It was already November, and it had gotten colder.
"When it gets even colder, I’ll just go sleep next to Da Bao and Xiao Bao," he said.
Because Da Bao’s and Xiao Bao’s room had a heated brick bed.
Electricity isn’t cheap, after all.
Yun Xiaoxiao had no objections to letting Zhao Xinxin and Zhao Tianhe stay with her.
These two at her place didn’t consider themselves guests who didn’t need to do anything.
Because there was a washing machine, they both liked to keep clean.
They would cook, clean, manage the coal briquettes, and occasionally buy some groceries to bring back.
"Wife, we’re thinking of opening an electrical appliance store, but since the capital injection is not small, how much money can we take out for buying the property?" Cao Dali asked.
After all, appliances are really expensive.
"Did you forget the business in my store?" she replied.
"If we’re short on funds, we can also make and sell some braised eggs, meat, and pig’s trotters. We can make quick money with that, especially as we’re not afraid of hard work, and we can earn money."
Zhao Tianlei had studied machinery,
So, he planned to open an electrical store, where he could repair and improve appliances.
For example, the electric rice cooker could be redesigned, and if he produced a batch, he could make a big profit, even if someone else copied it; he would have already enjoyed the initial benefits.
Money is needed to do these things.
