This Shen family is open and bright. The villagers ate well and spared no effort. A large group of people worked from morning to night, with a lot of strength, and it took only three or four days to build the house.
Old man Shen immediately took the children to see the newly built house, which was a two-story Kuanmen courtyard. He asked Fubao, "Nannan, how does this house look like? You can open a big shop. There are still a few rooms inside, which can be used as warehouses, utility rooms, toilets, places for cooking and sleeping, which is very convenient."
"It's very good, Grandpa. When you put the cabinet, it will be the same as the store in the county. If you put a few more tables and chairs, it can be used as a small dining room. When someone comes to buy food, they can sit down and eat it, such as instant noodles or something."
Mrs. Shen thought it was a good idea and nodded quickly, "That's right, let's order a few sets of tables and chairs, and then hang a few paintings on the walls like the hotel in Guangcheng, in short, make it look better."
The next step is to install water and electricity, and when the wholesale items that Shen Jiaming helped bring back, the canteen can open.
The shelves are ready, and they are all solid wood with carved patterns, which looks magnificent.
Old man Shen went to the county to buy an ice drink machine, which was a foreign brand. Before it officially opened, a large group of villagers gathered outside the canteen, including those from the same village and those from neighboring villages, all of whom were stunned by the Shen family's generosity.
Although it is already the 1990s and the economy is developing rapidly, there are not many people in the ten miles and eight villages who are as rich as the Shen family now. It is a luxury to go to the county town to go to the market on weekdays, let alone open such a large small shop.
There were some gossiping women in the neighboring village who didn't know the Shen family very well, so they gathered together and whispered behind their backs, "Have you heard that? The Shen family opened this store for their girl, and the old man told everyone that all the money he earned went to his granddaughter. You think it's strange for the Shen family to treat a girl so well."
People in this village have long been used to it. When a man in his 30s or 40s heard this, he couldn't be surprised and said, "What's wrong? Can't it? The Shen family gave birth to a bunch of boys, and there was only one girl like this. Of course, their family is in pain. Everyone in our village knows that the son of the Shen family is worthless, and the girl is rare. She is the heart of the whole family. If my family is like this, I will love the girl even more."
An old woman cast a disdainful look, "Oh, it sounds like you don't want to have a son."
"That's right, it's only the Shen family who is so good to someone who loses money. It's just weird."
It was Aunt Zhao from the village who was talking. She hated Fu Bao and the Shen family in the first place. Over the years, she saw that their life was getting better and better. The large fishpond contracted by old man Shen alone could make a lot of money in a year.
Now that she has opened a canteen again, she knows that the business will be good without even thinking about it, which makes her feel sore.
In addition, whenever the old couple chatted with others, they said that the good luck in the family was brought by their daughter. Every time they heard this, Aunt Zhao wanted to roll her eyes.
It can really be said.
If girls are so useful, every household would want to have girls, why would they want boys
Aunt Zhao glanced at the canteen and saw that Fubao was introducing the ice drink machine to the villagers and making ice water and ice drinks for them to drink. The villagers all showed expressions as if they had drunk some nectar and jade dew, praised her vigorously, walked around her, and could not help but sneer.
