Chapter 250: Earn and spend at the same time?
After hanging up the phone, Guan Youshuang glanced at the desk calendar.
Today is already Thursday.
At most it will take three days to clean up.
The key is that they haven't found a place to live yet.
Before, when the two people were discussing the plan, Guan Youshuang had asked if they could have two rooms left for them to live in. Her idea was that the building should be located at the position of the main house, but originally, there were four rooms on both sides of the main house, to the south and north.
However, as Liu Fuzhou said just now, they have carefully considered it and all the houses have to be demolished.
Firstly, this would allow them to maintain the consistency and integrity of the entire house starting from the foundation, and secondly, the people they normally work with would work with stones and tiles, so it would not be safe for their family to stay here.
Liu Fuzhou also said that if they hadn't found a place to live yet, the time could be postponed for a few days, and Guan Youshuang could call him then.
Guan Youshuang didn't want to postpone the start date.
It is now midsummer, the best time to repair a house. After a month's completion, there will be just enough time for it to dry in the sun for a few months.
It's best if they move in after the fall.
As for where to live, she immediately thought of a solution.
Xiaoyun is going to the county town tomorrow, and then go south to work with other girls.
My parents-in-law can live in my sister-in-law Huang Chunyan's house.
Huang Chunyan and her family are currently staying in the old courtyard that was previously home to Peng Xiaoling. It has three rooms and a kitchen.
As for herself, she could just make do with the embroidery factory.
There was no time to lose. It was still early, so she thought of going to tell her sister-in-law first.
As soon as she stepped out of the main room, Wang Huiying came out of the kitchen with food.
"Youshuang, where are you going?"
"Mom, I'm going to my sister-in-law's house to discuss something with her."
"You haven't eaten yet, eat first."
"I'm not hungry yet. I'll come back and eat later."

When Huang Chunyan heard what Guan Youshuang said, she started to feel uneasy.
It's okay for her to stay for a few days temporarily, but the key is, what if she just pushes the two elderly people to her?
She couldn't say it directly, so she said, "They are our parents, so of course I have no objection. It's just that the two rooms on the side are not cleaned up, the roof is full of cobwebs, and the house is very damp. My parents are old, and I'm afraid it will be bad for their joints."
Gu Ruyi said sullenly, "We must live in the side room. How can we let our parents live there?"
Huang Chunyan blushed and said quickly: "Of course I know, and I still need you to tell me. What I mean is that this main room is also very damp."
Guan Youshuang certainly understood Huang Chunyan's thoughts, but at the moment, there were no other idle yards in the village.
She did think about taking the two old people to the county town and letting them enjoy themselves for a few days, but they were reluctant to leave this place and were unwilling to go.
Moreover, Gu Yunliang also said that he had to supervise the work, otherwise he was afraid that these people would cut corners.
"Sister-in-law, my parents will only stay for a month. It's summer now, so it won't be too damp." She took out a hundred yuan and said, "No matter how hard you work, you can bring some for us when you cook."
Huang Chunyan quickly extended her hand, then shyly withdrew it a little, saying, "We are all family, why are you being so polite?"
"It's my duty, sister-in-law. You've worked hard during this period, but don't worry, I've already informed the construction team, and I'll help you repair our house when ours is finished."
"Ah? Us?" Huang Chunyan sneered, "We haven't saved enough money yet, who knows when we can complete the repair."
As she said this, she glared at Gu Ruyi fiercely.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. You don't have to pay for the work. Manager Liu is very nice. He saw that we have built the factory and the yard, and said that we can waive your wages. You only need to prepare the cost of materials such as steel bars, bricks and tiles."
Huang Chunyan's eyes lit up.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Youshuang." She looked around the shabby house and said, "We are finally going to have our own new house."
At this time, Yuanyuan came back.
Yuanyuan has been very excited since the study notes were printed out. He goes around selling them after dinner every day. Not to mention, he has already sold more than a dozen copies.
"Aunt, you're here? I have good news for you. I sold two more Chinese notebooks."
As he spoke, Yuanyuan took out a dollar from his trouser pocket.
Guan Youshuang touched Yuanyuan's head and said with a smile, "Good, very good. Hmm? Shouldn't it be two servings? Why is it only one yuan?"
"I have already spent the one dollar."
"Hey, didn't I tell you to save your money? Why don't you listen?" Huang Chunyan scolded angrily, "You sell for two dollars, and only spend one dollar. If your father and I were like you, then our whole family would have to tie our mouths and not have any food."
"It's not like I can't make it back." Yuan Yuan pouted, "I still have a lot of notes, right? Each one can be exchanged for one dollar."
"It's all your grandma who spoiled you." Huang Chunyan sighed.
"Yuanyuan, look at me." Guan Youshuang said, half squatting.
"What's the matter, aunt?"
"Yuanyuan, after these notebooks are sold out, do you plan to sell more?"
Yuan Yuan nodded and said, "Sell it."
"Where are you going to print the notes?"
Yuan Yuan was stunned, touched his head, and said, "It's the photo studio at the market. Didn't the uncle say that the photo studio will have a printer next time we go to print our notes?"
Guan Youshuang nodded and said, "But printing the notes requires money. This time, your aunt paid for it, but next time, you will need to pay for it yourself."
Yuanyuan lowered his head.
“How many notes have you sold in total in the past few days?”
"Fifteen, 9 for Chinese and 6 for Mathematics."
"Okay, how much money do you have left?"
Yuanyuan bit her lip and said, "One yuan."
"So, you actually spend as you earn, right? This way, you won't have money to print out notes next time."
"Aunt, I understand. I will save the money from selling notebooks in the future."
"It's not that you have to save all of it, but we should have a saving plan, such as how much money to save a week. If you reach the goal, you can reward yourself with the amount you spend. Only in this way can you really save money."
Yuanyuan nodded.
"How about this? Yuanyuan's family is going to renovate their house soon. Can Yuanyuan use the money she has saved to buy a small piece of furniture for the family?"
"Ah, w-what furniture?"
"As long as it's within Yuanyuan's means, anything is fine, such as a bed sheet or a curtain. Of course, the more money Yuanyuan saves, the wider the range of choices will be."
Yuanyuan is happy.
"Okay, I must save a lot of money and buy a big sofa for my family."
"Just keep bragging." Huang Chunyan smiled and glared at her son.
Guan Youshuang smiled and took Yuanyuan's hand, saying, "Okay, then Yuanyuan, come on, auntie believes in you."
