After a while, Mianmian, Luo Baobao and the others came back together.
"Mianmian, are you tired, my dear? Come here and sit down." Bao Suyun hurriedly came over to support Mianmian, and at the same time took the little granddaughter in Mianmian's hand to prevent her from tiresome her aunt.
After all, Mianmian is now more than eight months pregnant. If nothing goes wrong, she may give birth by the end of next month.
But the little granddaughter raised a bamboo sign in her hand and shook it proudly towards Bao Suyun, and her clear voice sounded like a silver bell: "Grandma, look, I have this wonderful treasure!"
Good baby?
Bao Suyun was stunned for a moment, and then he wanted to take the bamboo sign and take a look. Unexpectedly, his little granddaughter became naughty. She hid the sign behind her like lightning and ran back with a giggle.
"No, no, no, this is a treasure, a treasure given by my cousin!"
The little granddaughter giggled and ran outside to play in the yard.
In the hall, Bao Suyun looked at Mianmian, confused.
Others also looked at it with a smile and said, "This little girl is naughty and smart like Guiling. Dabao is an honest child."
Bao Suyun smiled and said: "Dabao is a wooden pile, Guiling is different. Fortunately, this child followed Guiling."
Dayun smiled and said: "Suyun, no wonder you have a good relationship with Guiling's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Others in our village don't understand, but we know it all. No wonder you have a good relationship with your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"
Bao Suyun was surprised, "Sister-in-law Dayun, how do you say this?"
Dayun glanced at Guihua, the Liu family, and the Sun family, and then said: "Who is a mother-in-law like us who doesn't say that her grandchildren look like their own sons? Even if they don't look like their own sons, they have to lie with their eyes open and say they look like them. The worst thing is I love hearing someone say that grandchildren are like daughters-in-law.”
"But you are good, but you are doing the opposite. No wonder your daughter-in-law Gui Ling likes you. She does have a reason to like you."
Everyone else nodded.
Even Yang Ruoqing feels the same way about this. Not to mention the mothers-in-law of these wealthy families, even the ladies from wealthy families in the towns who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable about etiquette cannot escape this fate after being promoted to become mothers-in-law.
Even in modern times, women who have received modern education often think that their wives are outsiders.
Grandchildren must follow their own sons, regardless of their surname, appearance, or habits.
If the grandchild is smart, he or she will say that he or she is like his or her father when he was a child.
If the grandson is not very smart, then he can be passed on to his wife, just like his (her) mother~
Hearing the compliments from Dayun and the others, Bao Suyun smiled a little sheepishly.
"What I said is the truth. Dabao is just a wooden stake. Gui Ling will have to make decisions on many things in the future."
"The little girl's character of talking and laughing is indeed following Gui Ling."
Everyone nodded, Bao Suyun was just telling the truth.
"That sign was given to us by Dabai. You guys left early. Many of the guests behind have gone to get the signs." After Mianmian sat down, she took a breath and explained to everyone with a smile.
Even though the little girl ran out to play with the sign, Mianmian was the person involved and she knew the origin of the sign.
"Why is he giving out signs to everyone?" Ms. Liu looked confused.
"If everyone gets a red envelope, that's not bad, hehe..." she continued.
But after saying that, when I thought about it, I felt that it was simply impossible. Dabai was not a money-loving boy, and he didn't have that much money.
Isn't half the reason for hosting a banquet just to get back the money that was given out before?
"Dabai said, if you take the sign to Baimeizhai from now on, no matter if it's morning tea or lunch or dinner, you'll get a 40% discount!"
“If you have an important event at home and don’t want to prepare a banquet in your own kitchen, you can go to Baimeizhai to book a banquet.”
"I said that the lobby and private rooms of Baimeizhai can accommodate thirty tables of banquets at the same time. They have all kinds of dishes and are cheap at discounts. Anyway, that's what I'm saying!"
Mianmian rubbed her belly gently and told everyone everything she had heard before.
Everyone looked at each other.
Yang Ruoqing's eyes flashed slightly.
It seems that Dabai still has some business acumen. In this era, many of the business ideas he has come up with are, it must be said, a bit ahead of his time.
For example, going to a restaurant to hold a banquet is even a bit of a break from the norm.
If you do it well and with good fortune, you may really take off.
However, in the final analysis, all this depends on his specific operations. The marketing idea is good, but when it comes to implementation, whether the specific operation can be done with a good grasp of the scale has to be said separately.
"Ha, I took one too." Luo Baobao suddenly laughed, holding a sign between his two slender fingers.
Then when Yang Ruoqing looked over, she waved her fingers lightly, and the sign fell into Yang Ruoqing's palm.
Yang Ruoqing turned it over and saw that it was an ordinary sign made of polished bamboo, with a white plum blossom carved on it and the name of Bai Meizhai and its address in the town.
Yang Ruoqing turned the sign over, and on the other side was a simple map, which should be the general terrain of Qingshui Town, and then highlighted the location of Baimeizhai.
"Dabai has really put in a lot of effort to attract business and build a reputation for their shop!"
After admiring the sign, Yang Ruoqing put it on the table and gave her evaluation.
Those who can read can know where Baimeizhai is by just reading the words.
If you are illiterate, you can find Baimeizhai by looking at the map to the north.
"Although Dabai and Xiao Hei were born to the same parents, the melon seeds in his head are so good that he can beat Xiao Hei eighteen blocks away!" Ms. Liu and the others also passed the signs around in their hands and finished reading. Everyone sighed like this.
Everyone nodded.
Mrs. Sun said: "Old Wang's family is now facing the exam. If Dabai manages his business well and follows the right path, Meier will be able to enjoy happiness in his later years, which is also a good thing."
Mrs. Liu said: "Hey, if the old Wang family really makes a lot of money, Mei'er's tail will probably be raised to the sky!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "I would rather she raise her tail to the sky than go back to her parents' house with a sad face every day to beat the autumn wind."
Everyone was stunned. Mrs. Liu was the first to laugh. She clapped her legs while laughing: "That's true. The biggest weakness of this old man and old lady in our family is Mei'er."
"Last year and the year before that, the old man and the old lady swore in front of us more than once that they would never subsidize Meier again."
"The results of it?"
"They are changing their ways, trying all kinds of excuses and using various guises to subsidize."
"Hey, let's take Xiao Hei's wedding as an example. The two of them may have already stuffed the coffin into it as a congratulatory gift, but we can see through it and won't tell you!"
"Fourth brother and sister, if you really think so, that would be great."
Mrs. Sun was very surprised by Mrs. Liu's awareness, and she also strongly agreed with Mrs. Liu's statement.
Mrs. Liu shook her head: "Third sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not stupid. In fact, everyone knows these things well."
"No one comes out to expose it, so I just jump out and yell. It's boring!"
Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly, "As long as the old man is happy, there are only so many coffins. Once they are posted, it will be over and it will stop."
