“I have to be on duty during the Chinese New Year, and I’m thinking of not going back to my hometown. I’ll go back to visit relatives when I’m in my second year of junior high school. What do you think?” Ye Ning put down the dishes and asked.
Ye An didn’t say anything. There was no one at home anyway, so he could be anywhere. Ye Lan raised her head and glanced at Ye Ning, and said with a smile: “Anything is fine.”
Ye Ning frowned. After returning the money to Ye Lan, she was silent for a long time. In fact, she reflected on it afterwards and found that she was indeed too extreme at the time. Ye Lan looked strong, but in fact she was very insecure. She suddenly lost her father as a pillar of support, so she relied on Ye Ning as her sister. She meant well, afraid that she would lose money.
“I specially learned a skill from the chef in the cafeteria today. Xiao Lan, you will light the fire while I cook the braised pork.” Ye Ning called Ye Lan into the kitchen and said while cutting the meat: “Xiao Lan, that day… sister spoke too harshly. I know you are doing it for my own good. You are afraid that I will lose money and you can’t stop me. You can only remind me to be cautious. I know this.”
Ye Lan held the fire tongs and burst into tears. ” Sister, are you not angry with me anymore?”
Ye Ning was startled and said hurriedly: “Why would I be angry?” Ye Ning put down the knife and squatted next to Ye Lan, “We are sisters, now our parents are gone. Now, the three of us, siblings, are dependent on each other. Xiao Lan, don’t keep it in your heart. If you say it, I’ll know it.”
Ye Lan sniffed, “I thought you were angry, sister, I didn’t mean anything else, I just heard people around me saying that I would lose money if I bought that shop, so I was a little worried… I really didn’t mean anything else.”
“I know, I’m really not angry. I was under a lot of work pressure at that time, so I just turned on you. I’m sorry.” Ye Ning found an excuse.
Ye Lan burst into tears and laughed, “Then can you still help me manage the money?”
Are there any people who are rushing to ask for help to manage the money? Ye Ning smiled and said, “Okay, give me your bankbook later and I will give it to you when you go to college.”
Just after eating, Ye Lan took out the bankbook and gave it to Ye Ning, and said, “Sister, I was wrong too, you shouldn’t care so much. I… I asked someone yesterday and the price of the store increased by more than a thousand. I am short-sighted and thought I was smart. Sister, there is no use leaving my money. If you need it, just use it, it’s okay.”
It’s gone up by more than a thousand? Ye Ning really didn’t know that the factory was so busy during this period that she didn’t even have time to look at her own shop.
“Who did you listen to?” It’s only been more than a month since I bought the store, how could it go up so fast?
“That’s Aunt Wang Mei. Their family forced Uncle Wang to vacate the shop. Yesterday, Aunt Wang Mei cried until her eyes were swollen. She said that the duck in her mouth flew away.” Ye Lan was a little scared. If the eldest sister heard her advice, and quit the shop, she would regret it when she saw that the shop was covered with iron nails. She must also feel very guilty in her heart.
It seems that she has to go to the mall tomorrow to check the situation. Why has it suddenly increased by more than a thousand?
However, after this incident, Ye Lan suddenly felt a little confused. In her mind, money was saved little by little. It was no problem to buy furniture if she had money, but she shouldn’t spend anything else. If the eldest sister had bought a house at that time, she would never say anything more, after all, it was their place of residence, but the eldest sister spent so much money to buy a small shop of more than ten square meters. In her opinion, it was just throwing money into the water, but the result was short-term. In just over a month, she earned more than a thousand. Her eldest sister bought four stores, so she earned more than four thousand. It’s more than four thousand. How much is the monthly salary of today’s workers? If they don’t eat or drink, it will take ten years to save four thousand. She made that much money in over a month.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Ning came back from pouring the foot-washing water and saw Ye Lan in a daze, so she asked with a smile.
“It’s nothing, it’s just… sister, is it still too late to buy a shop?” Although she was embarrassed, she was really moved.
“Now?” Ye Ning shook her head, “Now everyone knows that the store has increased in price, and they must be holding it tightly in their hands. Who is willing to sell it? It’s not impossible to ask. I think this store still has room for growth.”
Ye Lan after pondering for a moment, still didn’t have the guts to buy. It used to be more than three thousand yuan for a room, but now it was more than four thousand yuan. She had to spend more than a thousand yuan more than a month ago, and she didn’t know whether it would rise or fall in the future. What if it fell? Ye Ning respected her choice. There were some things that you had to experience yourself to know. No matter what others said, it was useless.
“What do you think about what I asked you when I came back from work today?”
“Going home to celebrate the New Year?” Ye Lan thought of her relatives back home and shook her head, “Forget it, we have three people celebrating the New Year at home, and it’s the same here, sister. You have to go to work, so we will stay with you.” Ye Ning nodded, either not going back, or just going back to pay homage to Ye Qingshan and then visit some relatives.
The two sisters talked about it, and the atmosphere at home suddenly improved. The next day, Ye An almost thought he was dazzled. “Sister, I want to go play with my classmates.”
“Have you finished your homework?” Ye Lan asked lightly.
Ye An instantly blushed, making Ye Ning extremely happy, “Do your homework first, and then you can play whatever you want.” Everything was fine at home, so Ye Ning took Ye Lan to the mall together, and it had only been a few days, and many shops have been opened, with everything you need for food, clothing, and necessities. Ye Ning’s shop was closed. She had not thought about opening any shop. To be precise, she was not planning to open it. She only planned to rent it out. In the first half of the month, no one was interested yet, but now suddenly so many people opened a store here, she was also very surprised.
