Chapter 59: Qin Huairu, the Calculating One

He is the second largest shareholder who invested 30,000 yuan and has already received a dividend of 2,000 yuan in advance!
"Huai Ru, why didn't you wake me up earlier? Time is money!"

Li Zhiguo was a little anxious. He had to come up with a plan before Monday, otherwise he would be sorry for the shares.

"Brother, you said last night that I'd wake you up at 8:30. That's fine. If you go now, you can catch the second bus. The first one leaves at 7:00, and you won't be able to get up."

Qin Huairu said as she put an inner shirt on the person and helped him put on his coat. The weather was not so cold anymore, but one still had to be careful.

"Then let's hurry up. Oh, and you have a pen and a notebook at home, right?"

He planned to go to Lao Qin's house to catch up on some work and indulge himself in the mountains and rivers.

"Yes, I haven't written much in the notebooks I was given when I was studying at Guangming University, so I saved them up."

Although Qin Huairu felt strange, she didn't ask any more questions.

I made breakfast at home, but it was too late to eat it because the bus had to leave at 9:15.

Li Zhiguo quickly washed up, picked up his bicycle and went out, and also went to the courtyard on the Nanluoguxiang side to pick up his things.

"Oh, you are back to the countryside again."

Yan Bugui has become numb. It’s only been a short time since the Chinese New Year and the Lantern Festival. Can’t he give his father-in-law some time off?

"Something happened to Qin Huairu's brother. He asked someone to bring him the news yesterday. We have to go back and take a look.

Let my father-in-law raise more chickens. I’m not going to talk any more. We’re almost late for the bus.

Third uncle, wait for me to come back and tell me if there is any news from the hospital."

Li Zhiguo walked out of the courtyard gate carrying his bicycle.

"Slow down on the road!"

Yan Bugui sent him to the door, then rubbed his hands and went to Lao He's house.

There was an empty tricycle today, so Sha Zhu rode one out. He could borrow the other one to do some work and supplement the family income.

Li Zhiguo went to the courtyard, picked up his bag, and then went to the bus station, where he parked his bicycle at the toll booth.

Qin Huairu was pregnant, so it was not appropriate for her to ride a bicycle for such a long distance on the mountain road.

After getting off the bus, we were not far from the village.

"Brother, how about I carry the backpack? You are weak, don't get tired."

Qin Huairu wanted to get her bag but was stopped.

"That won't work. You're pregnant, so just do some housework. From now on, leave the heavy work to me. I just have a stomach problem, which won't have a big impact. I'm not weak in any way."

This requires a long-term process. The first child was conceived not long ago, and there will be at least two more to come.

"Brother, you are so good to me!"

Qin Huairu followed behind, holding up the backpack with her hand, always trying to relieve some of the weight on the man.

"Oh, Qin Huairu, you brought your uncle back again."

"The son-in-law of the old Qin family is here."

"The son-in-law of the old Qin family has returned with a big bag."

The villagers were all very enthusiastic. They had held a banquet in the village before, and last time the Qin family went to the city, they came back with all new clothes, even for little Qin Jingru. How much money must that have cost?

Coupled with the Qin couple's boasting and little Qin Jingru's innocent words, the image of Li Zhiguo as a young and wealthy man was once again created.

So when they came to the village again, it was like a celebrity coming to the countryside, and it caused an immediate sensation.

"Brother, you are so popular wherever you go."

Qin Huairu felt very proud and benefited from the man.

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's God's gift."

Li Zhiguo came this time with the lease contract, so as to finalize the matter as soon as possible to avoid people worrying about it.

This is not a simple trick, we must follow the process.

In order for Qin Guangming to separate from his father-in-law under witness, he also needs to register the separation of households in the village.

There won't be any problems if they're really investigated later. Let's not talk about anything else for now. As long as the three-story compound is preserved, he will be able to get rich even if he really lies down.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

Little Qin Jingru stepped and shouted, running faster than anyone else to come and greet them.

"Oh, do you miss your brother-in-law?"

Li Zhiguo immediately hugged little Qin Jingru, but just as he was holding her, Qin Huairu took her down.

"Jingru, your brother-in-law is carrying a bag, it's so heavy. Guangming, Guangyou, come quickly."

Qin Huairu screamed when she saw her two silly brothers, who were not as fast as little Qin Jingru.

"I'm coming."

The two brothers-in-law ran all the way. It was not that they were not active, but they were called to work in the fields.

"Hurry, help your brother-in-law get the bag."

"Got it!"

The two brothers rushed to take the bag. It was really heavy. Their brother-in-law must have brought some goodies again.

Seeing that many people in the village came to watch the fun, Qin Huairu couldn't help but show off, "Guangming, your brother-in-law has found a job for you in the city. You can go to the city with us in the afternoon, and your brother-in-law will take you to work tomorrow."

"Ah! Sister, brother-in-law, can I really go to the city to work and become a city dweller in the future?"

Qin Guangming was shaking with excitement. After his last trip to the city, he had been wondering every day when he could go there again.

I didn't expect good news so soon.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Of course not. Your brother-in-law has been very concerned about you and has found you a good job. You will live in his yard in the future.

When you get to the city, you must work hard and don’t embarrass your brother-in-law, or I will send you back to the countryside.”

"Sister, brother-in-law, I will work hard and never embarrass you."

Qin Guangming's face was filled with joy. He was really going to become a city dweller.

"I'll talk about it slowly when I get home."

Without his backpack, Li Zhiguo hugged little Qin Jingru and carried her to his father-in-law's house.

After walking a few steps, a group of children swarmed over. Li Zhiguo simply took out candy from his pocket and gave two to each child.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

"Brother-in-law, when will you come back next time?"

The children were all thinking about the candies and looked at Qin Jingru with envy, thinking she had a good brother-in-law.

When they arrived at old Qin's house, Li Zhiguo put little Qin Jingru down, gave her a handful of candy, and let her play by herself.

Then he took out a cigarette and walked around.

He waited until the onlookers had left before going to the main hall to discuss matters.

The three brothers of the Qin family were all waiting. After he sat down, Qin Guangming handed him a teacup with a flattering look on his face, and then sat on a small stool next to him and waited, looking much shorter than him.

"Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, let me tell you a good news first. Huairu is pregnant and the due date is in October."

As soon as the words fell, the father-in-law Qin Changchun was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, "Okay, okay!"

The second uncle and the third uncle also looked very happy. Their eldest niece had done a great job. It was just like what was said in the book, a mother is honored by her son. No wonder Guangming got a job so quickly.

“I have a good relationship with the director of the Qianmen Subdistrict Office over at Zhengyangmen.

Guangming will report to the street office with me tomorrow. He will be an intern first and then a street official, which is equivalent to the lowest administrative level. But if he does a good job, he can be promoted to a street cadre in the future. "

Li Zhiguo asked his wife to go to the kitchen to help, otherwise if she kept bragging here, his past would be exposed.

Although you don't have to worry about anything in the village, you still have to pay attention to the impact of some things.

"Oh, Guangming is going to work on the street. This position is so good."

The Qin family was shocked. They thought they were going to be a clerk, but they ended up going to the streets. How dare they think of that? "Brother-in-law, you are so good to me."

Qin Guangming's face was full of joy. Qin Guangyou was sitting next to him, but the young man had no intention of going to school anymore.

"Well, that's how it is with work. There's another problem. Guangming doesn't have a place to live in the city, but I have a three-story house in Qianmen Street, near Dongliulichang.

I plan to let Guangming live in the front yard. The monthly rent is five dollars. This is public, and the money does not need to be paid to me.

But a formal contract must be signed so that Guangming can register the household registration with the street office later."

Of course, Li Zhiguo would not mention it in order to save the compound.

"Son-in-law, you see, this is too unfair to you."

Qin Changchun was very satisfied with his son-in-law and cared a lot about their family.

"It's a small matter. We are all family. But Guangming must be separated. Otherwise, he is only seventeen and cannot rent a yard independently. He must go through the formalities in the village this afternoon."

He had prepared a draft before he came, and now he explained it all clearly.

"That's what I should do. After dinner, I'll ask someone from Murakami to come over and write a certificate and take fingerprints."

It is now easy to separate households. Just ask someone from the village to come and write three certificates by hand and put their fingerprints on them. Each party concerned keeps one copy, and the village keeps one copy for filing.

After the household division, you can apply for a residential plot to build a house.

If Qin Guangming wants to work in the city, it won’t be that troublesome. He just needs to divide the account.

"Dad, wait until Guangming has established himself in the first city, and you, mom, and Guangyou can also go to the city. I will rent the middle courtyard to you, just to make arrangements.

Mom will help Huairu and I take care of the children in the future. Guangyou will transfer to the city to study. As for you, I will find a temporary job for you. You can do it first.

From now on, our family will all live in the city. I have no elders to help me, so you all come and help me."

Li Zhiguo came with two contracts, trapping the Qin family as well.

"Oh, our whole family is going into town!"

Qin Changchun was shocked. What a great honor this was.

"Yes, everyone!"

After Li Zhiguo gave a positive answer, Uncle Qin's second and third uncles were jealous, thinking that the eldest brother's family really had a good daughter.

"This won't cause you any trouble, will it?"

Qin Changchun wanted to go.

"Why bother? My three-story courtyard has always been empty. I just sold all the furniture a while ago.

My two uncles used to smoke opium and lost all their money. They sold all the furniture they used because it was unlucky and then hired someone to make new furniture for them.

There is nothing wrong with this excuse. They were short of money at the time and couldn't afford the bride price unless they sold some furniture.

The methods used to preserve the compound then were different from those now.

"Son-in-law, if you want to make furniture, go find your third uncle. He knows how to make furniture and his craft is very good.

There were three brothers in our family. I went to a private school, but I had no talent and didn't learn well.

Your second uncle learned farming from others, and he is good at raising cattle and plowing the land.

Your third uncle studied carpentry and has very good skills.

There was not much good wood in the village, so he usually made windmills, farm tools and other things for the collective.

Find some wood and ask your uncle to make furniture for you to save money."

Qin Changchun blushes when talking about this. His father had high hopes for him, but he ended up failing in his studies and also impoverished his family.

But he was lucky to have a good daughter.

Uncle Qin Changqing then said, "Son-in-law, I can help you make furniture for free, just provide meals."

Uncle Qin Changhong was not to be outdone, "Son-in-law, since you like to eat chickens, my family will raise more and send you eggs when we have enough. We also have two old hens at home, which I will catch for you this afternoon."

"Uncle 2, Uncle 3, you are too polite. Let's do this. Wait for my parents, Guangming, and Guangyou to settle down in the city.

When there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will arrange for your two families to come to the city."

Li Zhiguo realized what it meant to be supported. The Qin family had forty or fifty relatives in the village, and even more relatives.

From now on, we will just wait for him to raise his hand and everyone will come to work for him?

"dinner time!"

Qin Huairu shouted, Guangming and Guangyou hurried over to serve the dishes, and little Qin Jingru also ran to work.

Li Zhiguo and the elders went straight to the table, poured the wine and started drinking, as a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.

After dinner, he wanted to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but because he got up early, he went to take a nap first.

He was resting, but the Qin family was busy.

Relatives also came to inquire about the situation. When they heard that Qin Huairu was pregnant and Qin Guangming was going to work in the street office, the whole Qin family would move into the city.

In the future, the second and third sons of the Qin family might also move to the city. Suddenly, the whole village was in an uproar and everyone came to give gifts.

Apart from anything else, at least when you go into the city you can find a place to stay without spending any money.

After Qin Guangming separated the households, he hurried to pack his luggage and also had to take time to say goodbye to his friends. If he didn't brag about it, he would be sorry for having a good brother-in-law.

"Guangming, when you become a Beijing resident in the future, don't forget us, your childhood friends."

"Guangming, your brother-in-law is so capable that he actually found you a job as a street official. But when you were in school, you even wrote your father's name wrong. Is your education level good enough?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Guangming quickly scolded, "Xiao Si, don't spread this around, or my brother-in-law will punish me if he hears it."

The guy next to him also said hurriedly, "Xiao Si, how can you talk to your brother Guangming like that? You will be a street cadre in the future, so you should pay attention to your influence."

Qin Guangming felt better. "My brother-in-law is very capable. When I become rich, I will invite you to visit the city. Let me tell you, the city is very big..."

……

I don’t know how long it was, but Li Zhiguo suddenly woke up and thought, damn, I almost forgot about the important business.

"Huai Ru, come here, Huai Ru..."

"Brother-in-law, I'm here."

Little Qin Jingru ran into the house and said, "My sister is busy collecting things. Other families have sent a lot of things. Brother-in-law, are you ready? I'll help you put on your shoes."

"Ahem... I can put it on by myself. Never mind. I'll go out and take a look."

Li Zhiguo wore the cloth shoes made by Jia Zhangshi. He changed into a new pair when he came back today.

He wanted paper and pen, preparing to study a plan for expanding the business and then take it to Chen Xueru. After all, he was also a shareholder!

When we got to the main room outside, we saw the table was piled with things. Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law were sorting mountain products in the dam.

My father-in-law and my brother-in-law were killing chickens, and my second uncle was also packing up carpentry tools in the dam.

He flipped through the books on the table. He didn't recognize many of the things, but the ones he did recognize were not bad.

If he comes to the countryside more often, wouldn't he be enriching himself and making the whole village poor?

He couldn't explain clearly how to bring the things back to the courtyard!

"Huai Ru, there are so many things here. They are all earned by the villagers with hard work. It would be a shame to just take them away!

Look how fat this chicken is. It takes a long time for others to raise it. And there are so many eggs. I can’t eat them all.”

Li Zhiguo is well-versed in classics and understands the principle of exhausting all resources and must take the path of sustainable development.

"I just killed three chickens and kept the rest for next time.

Also, these are dry goods and won’t go bad if they are kept for a long time.

Brother, if you eat five eggs a day, they will be gone in no time."

Qin Huairu has calculated everything so nothing will be wasted.
