MTL - Transmigrate to the ’80s to Be a Stepmother-Chapter 51

The dinner was extremely sumptuous, full of color and fragrance. After the meal, Lu Yao directly became Qin Shi's little fan girl, sticking to her and chatting with her all the time.

Lu's mother also treated Qin Shi like her own daughter, pulling her to ask her how she was, and caring for her very much.

The sister-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very well, and the family atmosphere is very relaxed. In the evening, the whole family happily sat together, eating fruit and chatting with each other.

Lu Zetian and Papa Lu were playing poker, while Gu Qinghai was watching seriously.

There is a small square table on the kang, on which there are a plate of melon seeds and peanuts, as well as a plate of oranges and apples. The twins lay on the table, cracking the melon seeds one by one, and eating an orange peeled by Mother Lu from time to time.

And Qin Shi and Lu Yao sat on the kang, leaning against the wall and listening to Lu's mother talking about the big events and gossip that happened in the village.

Qin Shi really liked this kind of atmosphere, her whole body relaxed, with a smile on her lips all the time.

While chatting, the topic turned to Qin Shi. Mother Lu suddenly asked: "Shishi, you make money by making those clothes, no one reported you, right?"

Qin Shi didn't know why Lu's mother suddenly asked, "No, now that the reform and opening up, the country allows self-employed people to do business, it's fine to report me, it's not breaking the law."

"Hey~" Mother Lu clicked her tongue and said, "What's the matter? Some of us bought goods from the city and returned to sell them. They were reported as speculators, and all the goods were confiscated and fined!"

Mother Lu frowned, and said, "That man has a sick baby at home. This time, he didn't make any money, and even lost all his belongings."

Qin Shi asked: "What did he buy and sell? Where did he sell it?"

"Just cups, toothpaste, shoes, messy daily necessities, and a stall in front of the school." Mother Lu replied.

"I didn't go to the black market either, and the things they sold were normal things, so it's not speculative." Qin Shi suddenly started conspiracy theories, guessing that this matter might not be that simple.

"It doesn't count?" Lu's mother opened her eyes wide, "But he was fined, and the police went there!"

"Public security?" Qin Shi shook her head slightly, "Even if the speculators are really screwed up, it will be under the supervision of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Who will the public security arrest?"

"Really?" Mother Lu asked in disbelief.

"Really," Qin Shi said, "After the reform and opening up, the industrial and commercial bureaus were restored. They are in charge of all these things. The public security is in charge of law and order. Why do they still care about other people's speculation?"

When Mother Lu heard this, she slapped her thigh vigorously, "Hey! Then this is really screwed up!"

Lu Yao was a little curious, "Mom, tell me carefully."

Lu's mother said, "I also heard from others that that person had nothing to do with selling things before, but he was reported within two days after he came back and started selling shoes. Isn't this just someone acting like a monster!"

"Ah? Why?" Lu Yao didn't understand, "I was reported by the same shoe seller?"

"It's still possible!" Lu's mother nodded vigorously, her face full of concern.

"Although everyone is proud of being in the factory and earning a job, those who are in business earn much more than those workers." Mother Lu ate a melon seed and continued, "There are still few people in business now, just enter as you please. Small goods can make money by setting up a stall, if the same goods are sold, isn’t there competition and less money.”

Lu Yao laughed, "Mom, I didn't expect you to know a lot and be so open-minded. Now most people look down on people who are in business."

Qin Shi also laughed, she didn't expect Mother Lu to be so open-minded.

Mother Lu laughed and said, "I went to the county to look at those stalls. If the business is good, there are people coming and going. I'll ask the boss of your second uncle's house. He said that the wholesale price is very cheap, but it takes time. It takes a lot of effort to bring back trouble, but it’s actually very profitable.”

"It's only been less than a year, and your second uncle's TV has been added. A while ago, the old house was going to be demolished and rebuilt. Take a look at this, isn't it just to make money!"

Lu's mother glanced at Lu's father who was playing cards below, and snorted, "If your father is not in good health, you need to rest and take care of yourself, I will also go to buy goods and set up a stall!"

Lu Yao laughed straight at the words, and praised her: "Mom, you are really a heroine, amazing."

Qin Shi followed suit, and the three laughed together.

Qin Shi paused for a moment, and said, "Actually, if you can find a purchase channel and someone can bring your things back to you, Mom, you can open a small shop at home."

Mother Lu's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

"But there is no one, and the cargo won't come back." Lu Yao thought about it.

Qin Shi asked: "Mom, what kind of business does the eldest son of the second uncle's family do? Where do you buy the goods? Do you get the goods yourself or someone else delivers them?"

"He went to Shenzhen City to buy clothes, and he sold them in the county. The clothes seemed to be brought back by himself. He went there for a few days, and every time he came back, he lost a few pounds, but it was not easy." Mother Lu sighed slightly. , It's not easy to do anything.

Qin Shi frowned slightly. In this era, transportation and logistics are too backward, and highways are not repaired. It is really difficult.

She hadn't thought of this before, but now she suddenly remembered it.

Originally, she said that she would establish a good relationship with Sun Lili's family to see if she could order fabrics at a cheaper price. Thinking about it this way, even if she could buy fabrics cheaply, it would be difficult to transport them to the military compound.

After all, it takes a long time to mail something, and the cost is not cheap.

Qin Shi was sighing slightly, and temporarily gave up on the matter, "It's really difficult if the freight doesn't come back."

Lu's mother was also full of regret and pity, "If Xiaotian is not in the army and he is in business, I can still spread the small shop."

"Then I'll be back from the army?" Lu Zetian interrupted abruptly, which shocked everyone.

Lu's mother stared at Lu Zetian with a hard look, "This scared me a lot!"

Lu Zetian sat on the edge of the kang with an innocent expression. He reached out for an orange and said, "I've been sitting here for a long time. You guys are talking too seriously."

Qin Shi and the three looked at each other, but they really didn't notice.

"Mom, what do you think of me returning from the army to start a business?" Lu Zetian said while peeling oranges.

Several people were taken aback by his words, and they didn't know whether he was serious or joking.

Qin Shi blinked her eyes, thinking that the house in the military compound was just renovated, if she really came back like this, wouldn't it be a loss? It must be a joke...

Mother Lu is actually a little bit moved. Her son joined the army at the age of eighteen. It has been ten years now. She hasn't seen him for several years. She really misses him.

After having a child, Lu's mother went to the army to take care of the child, regardless of whether it was Lu Yao or Lu's father. Especially after Lu Yao went to university and went to other places, she only went back home twice a year. Father Lu was alone at home, and Mother Lu was very upset.

If Lu Ze is innocent and comes back from the army, then... Mother Lu will be really moved.

She hesitated for a while, then sighed suddenly, "If you really think about the consequences, it's not impossible to start a business, but Mom still advises you to wait, the current environment is still not very friendly, in case the policy changes again What if you don’t have a regular job?”

"Mom, the business license is down, all kinds of rules and regulations are being improved, and the state is encouraging self-employed people to do business." Lu Yao is very optimistic about this aspect.

"Mom knows," Lu's mother was still worried, "but no matter what, I'm still worried about losing money. After all, your brother has three children."

Something is really going to happen, the three children are not easy to raise, and it will be Lu Zetian and Qin Shi who will be the ones who will work hard at that time, and Lu's mother thinks it is better to be more stable.

After all, Lu Zetian is the head of the regiment, and he has a lot of allowance for a month, so he can live well.

Everyone knows that after all, it has only been two years since the reform and opening up, and everyone is used to it. Not everyone has the courage to quit their jobs and go into business.

Although Qin Shi dared to, and believed that Lu Zetian or herself really went into the sea, they would definitely make a fortune with their abilities, but she still didn't say anything.

It is possible to get rich in this era, but it is not easy, it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of experience.

Qin Shi really wanted to be a salted fish, and she didn't want to become a dog anymore. She felt that Xiao Fu was enough, and that was enough.

Thinking about it, Qin Shi turned to look at Lu Zetian, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

If he really wanted to go into business, then she had no choice but to follow him.

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't want to.

Lu's father also stared at Lu Zetian, wanting to hear what he wanted to do.

Under the attention of everyone, Lu Zetian peeled another orange calmly and said, "I'll just say it casually. If I really want to leave the army and come back to do business, I'll have to wait another two years."

"I have been a soldier for ten years now, and it will be twelve years in two years. When I change careers, the army will make good arrangements for me, and I will be assigned jobs in the same way when I am retired. Even if I don't leave and stay in the army, the benefits will be raised. Yes." Lu Zetian stuffed several pieces of oranges into his mouth.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes, there's no rush."

Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "Okay, we'll talk about it later." There is still time to think about choices, so there is no rush.

Lu's father warned: "No matter what, you have to think carefully and make complete preparations in advance."

Lu Zetian nodded, "Well, don't worry."

Lu Zetian is not an unreliable person, Father Lu knew it in his heart, so he didn't say any more.

This topic came to an end, and everyone talked about other things.

After coming back for a while, the twins started yawning, they were too sleepy to open their eyes, and everyone was going to sleep.

There are three bungalows in the Lu family, all of which are kangs without beds.

Mother Lu saw that the twins were too sleepy, so she let them sleep here, and she and Lu Yao accompanied them to sleep.

And Lu's father took Gu Qinghai to sleep in one room, and left the other room for Lu Zetian and Qin Shi.

"Are you tired of taking care of the baby? Now that we're back, we'll take the baby to sleep. You two have a good rest." Lu's mother laughed, pushed Lu Zetian out of the door, and squeezed her eyes.

Lu Yao also sniggered, and then told Mother Lu to close the door quickly, "Come back quickly, don't delay the big brother and sister-in-law's two-person world."

"A world for two? That's a good description." Mother Lu closed the door with a smile.

Outside the door, Lu Zetian and Qin Shi looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Seeing Qin Shi's embarrassed eyes, Lu Zetian took the initiative to say, "I'll go sleep with my dad, and you sleep with Xiao Hai."

Qin Shi looked at the second bungalow where the lights had been turned off, and sighed slightly, "They all lie down, forget it."

"And if that's the case, they'll have to suspect us."

Lu Zetian's eyelashes trembled, and his heartbeat suddenly started to speed up, "Okay."

The author has something to say:

Lu Zetian: Random thoughts.jpg, shy heart.jpg

Qin Shi:? You're overthinking it. In my last life, I saw a male model in a nightclub wearing only big underpants... Covered with two quilts and sleeping in pajamas, what's there to be shy about?

Today's heroine is also a day without feelings.
