Farming and reading family

Gao E had just coaxed Xiao Wu to sleep when she saw Lian Xin carrying a large box in. She hurriedly signaled her to be gentler.

Lianxin gently put the box on the ground.

"What's the matter?" Gao E asked in a low voice.

Lianxin opened the box, the light in the room became brighter, and Xiaowu, who had just fallen asleep, woke up with a scream.

Gao E was speechless. She asked Lianxin to close the box and went to coax Xiaowu.

Maybe it was because of the big temperature difference between seasons, Xiaowu had a fever. Gao E didn't dare to give him any medicine and could only wait and see.

After coaxing Xiaowu to sleep again, Gao E signaled Lianxin to move the box out gently. Lianxin tiptoed and carried the box to the main room.

Gao E went to the main room and tried to move the box, but it didn't budge at all. "Who gave it to me?"

"Luo Dagang." Lianxin didn't expect Luo Dagang to give her a box of gold.

Gao E understood. It seemed that Luo Dagang's two thousand taels of gold were all here. "What did he say?"

"He asked me to help him move things, and then said he wanted to move to my room. I said he was giving it to me, so he moved to my room." Lianxin said simply.

Gao E heard Lian Xin say this and thought that these two people were a perfect match. "So do you really want it?"

"It's what he gave me, not what I wanted." Although Lianxin said this, she also felt that it was a bit too much, otherwise she would not have come to the boss.

Gao E knew that Lian Xin really believed this: "What if this is someone else's wife's original?"

Lian Xin thought for a moment: "He wants to marry me?"

The reaction is correct, but it doesn't have to be so direct.

Gao E nodded.

"Then he needs to find a matchmaker to propose marriage." Lianxin said seriously.

When He Jiabe brought it up before, Lianxin refused outright. When it came to Luo Dagang's turn, she just said she wanted to find a matchmaker.

"What if he asks a matchmaker to tell her?" Gao E looked at Lian Xin.

"That's fine." Lianxin nodded.

Gao E looked at Lian Xin and asked, "Have you already taken a fancy to him?"

Lian Xin thought for a moment and said, "This much gold is enough to keep me full for a long time, right?"

Gao E could only nod.

"That's good." Lianxin smiled, revealing her white teeth.

Gao E had nothing to say about these two people.

Lianxin put the gold in Gao'e's room and went to sleep, feeling safe leaving it with her employer.

Gao E lay in bed and thought for a while. Now that her life was better and more stable, she really needed to think about the lifelong events of these people.

It's impossible for her to have so many children and grandchildren while the people following her are just widows and widowers.

The key point is that these people are not ambitious enough. Can't they have free love or something?

Do you have to wait for the matchmaker's words?

Finally, someone came who was capable enough to do his job, but he was still unreliable.

This puts her in a difficult position as someone who respects personal choices.

She fell asleep thinking about these things. When she woke up in the morning and was dazed for a while, Gao E realized that she had to call the three brothers of the Chen family together to discuss what to do next.

Chen Jie was not at home, so Gao E sent someone to inform him, thinking that he would come back tomorrow to discuss it, but Chen Jie came back directly on horseback.

She felt that since her second sister-in-law spoke so formally this time, she must be planning something big.

Gao E had no choice but to ask someone to call her eldest brother and Chen Ke back to discuss the Chen family's affairs.

"Sister-in-law, just tell me what you have to say." Chen Jie said excitedly.

Gao E looked at her eldest brother and asked, "Does our family have a family tree?"

Chen Qing paused: "No."

They were originally from outside the area, and by his generation they didn't even know who their ancestors were. They only heard from his father that his grandfather came here to build Yutou Dam. Since he didn't go back, it was estimated that his family there wasn't doing well either.

"Family tree?" Chen Jie was a quick-witted person. "Now that our Chen family has grown to a large number, we do need to consider the issue of the family tree."

"I need to discuss this with Dad." Chen Ke said with a frown.

Suddenly I felt that discussing things with his father was a very difficult thing.

"I'll go discuss it." Chen Qing took on the job.

"Why don't you go together?" Gao E suggested.

After all, it is a matter concerning the Chen family, so it would be better to discuss it face to face to avoid any conflicts.

"I can't." Chen Jie didn't want to go. "If I go, Dad might not let me, an unfilial descendant, be included in the family tree."

"Not really." Gao E saw Chen Jie was so exaggerated.

I don’t know what’s going on, but the better Chen Jie and his wife live, the more distant they become from the old couple of the Chen family.

This kind of estrangement does not mean that we ignore them. On the contrary, we give them more and speak to them more nicely, but the feelings have faded.

"Why don't we let my eldest brother and dad bring it up first? If dad has the same idea, we can discuss it together." Chen Jie suggested.

Chen Qing nodded: "Okay."

Chen Jie was delighted when he heard this and immediately looked at his second sister-in-law: "What else?"

"I think we should do business together." Gao E said directly.

Now she has many businesses, and the third brother and his wife are also making money outside, so the eldest brother is left behind. If the gap becomes larger and larger, it will be difficult for the three brothers to get along.

"Okay." Chen Jie was just waiting for this question: "What good business is there?"

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't get involved. I can't help you."

"I really did this with my elder brother." Gao E said directly.

"You want me to do it together?" Chen Qing was puzzled.

He wanted to work with his two younger brothers, but he knew that he had his parents to take care of, Yang was paralyzed in bed, and he had such a young daughter at home, so he really couldn't get away.

"Well, I want to open a restaurant and sell the seasonings all over the country." Gao E said directly.

The three brothers opened their eyes wide in disbelief. It was already difficult to do business in He County, and now they had to sell it nationwide?

"Here I am." Lianxin came over with the pot.

The four people hurriedly made way to let Lianxin set up the pot.

"Why are we eating from the hot pot at this time?" Chen Jie sniffed twice and wanted to pick up the chopsticks.

"What I want to do is the hot pot business." Gao E said directly.

"In winter, there are many restaurants selling hot pots, and this business is not easy to do." Chen Jie now understands a lot about business.

"What do you think is the most important thing in running a restaurant?" Gao E looked at Chen Jie.

"The taste." Chen Jie blurted out, "I used to think it was easy for my wife to open a snack bar, but after getting to know her, I realized that it was because the food was delicious, otherwise it would have closed down long ago."

"Yes." Gao E nodded. "As long as our food tastes good, business will definitely pick up."

Chen Qing frowned: "It's impossible to open it nationwide."

"We are not going to open it ourselves, but we need to franchise it." Gao E said directly.

"Join?" Chen Ke had never heard of it.

"Well, we only open one or a few restaurants, and let people from various cities join the rest. They use my signboard, give us a certain amount of money every year, and buy seasonings from us, so that we can ensure the taste is the same." Gao E explained.

"Is this equivalent to short selling stocks?" Chen Qing analyzed.

"It's not completely empty stock. After all, we provided the signboard." Gao E didn't expect that her eldest brother would be the first to react.

"Is there anyone joining this?" Chen Jie felt that it was impossible, after all, he had never come across it before.

Gao E knew that under the current conditions, it was unrealistic to build a brand through media publicity, but she could do publicity in each place separately.

Chen Qing didn't deny it directly: "Even if that's the case, I can't help much."
