  Chapter 77 Life Circumstances and Choices

   "Young man is back, I have cooked supper for you, come and eat."

  Wang Jingyu, who heard the door opening, came down from the second floor, looked at his son's thinned face, and felt distressed.

   "Mom, is the cup business on Taobao very good?"

   Eating rice cakes cooked by his mother, Zhou Anan looked at the pile of express orders in the room where the computer was located, and asked with a smile.

  Sometimes asking questions knowingly is also a strategy, which can give people a sense of accomplishment.

   "That's right, your mother opened a Taobao store, and it's very popular, and there are people who come to pick up the courier."

   Zhou Youliang, who was drinking hot water, answered casually, his face full of emotion.

  Since the son helped his wife open this Taobao store, the wife has become more and more powerful at home.

  In addition to going to the quarry every day to keep accounts and collect accounts, the rest of the time, my wife has no time to cook.

  However, the income of the Taobao store still surprised Zhou Youliang.

  In the last month alone, my wife earned more than 6,000 yuan, and the business is getting better and better.

   Originally, he himself asked someone to borrow a small truck to deliver to the courier company, but now the courier company has taken the initiative to pick up the goods, which is really incomprehensible.

   "That's pretty cool."

   I didn't expect my mother to open up the situation so quickly, and Zhou An'an was relieved a lot, thinking that many things after coming here will not repeat the mistakes of the previous life.

   "It's not thanks to the young man in our family that he opened such a good shop for my mother."

   Speaking of this, Wang Jingyu pressed the shoulder of the biggest hero with a smile on his face.

  Originally, in addition to collecting accounts and keeping accounts, she also grew some vegetables. Even if she stayed at home and watched TV, Wang Jingyu's life was still very monotonous.

   Now that there is a Taobao store, Wang Jingyu seems to have found a backbone, and she is full of energy every day.

   Every increase in business added color to her life.

   "Don't look at whose son I am, by the way, Mom, don't sit in front of the computer often, you need to get up and walk around more to prevent lumbar disc herniation."

   Regarding this, Zhou Anan also boasted a little bit, and did not forget to care about his mother.

  Graduated from high school with a high school diploma, my mother gave up the opportunity to go to university because my grandparents had to pay for my uncle to study, and committed to marrying my father who was educated in elementary school.

  In terms of knowledge, a well-educated mother should not be like a rural woman, talking about her family's shortcomings when she has nothing to do.

  To be honest, Zhou Anan feels that the time of rebirth will be eighteen years ahead, and it is not certain whether he will be there or not.

   "Understood, I also bought a pillow online, put it on the chair, and sit in front of the computer without getting tired."

  Hearing his son's concern, Wang Jingyu smiled and introduced the "magic chair" he bought online.

  Wang Jingyu, who was originally not low-educated, quickly absorbed new things after being exposed to online shopping. These days, she has bought a lot of small household "artifacts" for her family.

   "Oh, that needs a little extra movement, too."

  Very satisfied with my mother's fashion concept, Zhou An'an is still worried.

  He didn't want his mother to be exhausted from earning a little money.

  With the rise of computers in recent years, many people who sit in front of computers for a long time suffer from some spondylosis, and my mother is not young anymore, so I have to guard against it.

  The best way is naturally to find a few customer service personnel who sit in front of the computer to take orders.

  But the scale of my mother’s small Taobao store nowadays, let alone customer service, is enough to hire a special package. I can only hope that my mother’s Taobao store will grow rapidly and recruit people earlier.

   I didn't think about it, I opened a Taobao store for my mother just to keep her from being too boring. Now that the Taobao store's business is good, there are more troubles.

  However, this kind of thing is too long-term, and it is better to let nature take its course.

"I know, I know."

   Smiling and tidying up the dishes, Wang Jingyu felt his son's concern and felt better.

  The night was dark, and Zhou Anan fell asleep comfortably, smelling the sunlight on the quilt.

   "Hoo, hoo."

  Running on the country road, Zhou Anan exhaled gently, constantly adjusting his breathing.

  After a long morning run, Zhou Anan's physical fitness is completely different from before. He can even run for five kilometers, and there are slight muscle marks on his arms and stomach.

  The only depressing thing is that Zhou An'an's height has not improved much.

  Thinking about the highest height of 166.5 in his previous life, Zhou Anan wiped away bitter tears. After running two laps around the village, he was motivated to continue running.

   "Grandpa, Grandma, have you had breakfast yet?"

   On the way home after running and walking, Zhou Anan stopped by to see his grandparents.

   "An'an is here, come, the corn that grandma just picked from the field is just ripe, eat one."

   Seeing the eldest grandson come back, Zhou Fugen greeted him enthusiastically, went to the pot and took a piece of warm corn and handed it over.

"Oh."

  I had already brushed my teeth when I woke up, and Zhou Anan didn't have any scruples, so he took it and ate it straight away.

  Grandma's own sweet corn is still very sweet.

  Especially looking at his grandpa who is still in good health, Zhou Anan felt infinite comfort in his heart.

  There is still time to change everything.

  After chatting with grandparents for half an hour, Zhou Anan returned home, ate the dried soup cooked by his mother, watched the news on TV, and started a leisurely day like this.

   "An'an, let's go to Feilong Mountain to climb, will you go?"

  Helping my mother's free customer service for an hour, Zhou An'an received a call from Ying Chengcheng, and answered when he was bored.

  Feilong Mountain is located on the edge of Tongxiang, where Zhoujia Village belongs, about four or five kilometers away from Zhoujia Village. Ying Chengcheng, Li Yuhan and other high school students came here by bicycle from the urban area.

   And Zhou Anan took advantage of the free Tongxiang bus, um, his little uncle drove the bus.

Sitting on the bus to Tongxiang, Zhou Anan thought of my uncle’s partner—my uncle’s sister. Two years ago, she had asked her father to buy a bus for the Lizhou-Wuzhou route. Their family had pooled the money. In the end, my uncle's younger sister repented and bought a bus for the Tongxiang route together with my uncle and a few others.

  Three years later, the Wuzhou bus worth 300,000 at the beginning has risen to 600,000, and the annual profit has reached 200,000. And the passenger car of the Tongxiang route has dropped from the original 200,000 to about 150,000, and the annual profit is only 60,000 to 70,000.

   In a few years, Wuzhou Bus will soar to 3 million, with an annual profit of 400,000 to 500,000.

  Tongxiang bus, with the increase of private cars, fewer and fewer people take the bus. When it was finally bought by the city government, it cost about 100,000 yuan.

  So, the circumstances and choices in life are really embarrassing.

   "An'an, we're here. Walk another two or three hundred meters and you'll be at the intersection of Feilong Mountain."

   Stopping at a fork in the road, Chen Wei explained it to his nephew in detail, for fear of going the wrong way.

   "Okay, goodbye, little uncle."

  Getting out of the car and waving his hands, Zhou Anan walked towards a country road.
