si-mexico Chapter 446
Chapter 446
Zhou Yueshen had always wanted to return to his hometown, and the children were also more accustomed to life there. If the branch company could be opened there, he was confident he could make it big and successful. However, because some of their parts were imported, they were very expensive, and ordinary families simply couldn't afford them.Even here in Beijing, the only ones willing to buy them were families with better financial conditions.
Making money was indeed profitable, but Zhou Yueshen wanted more to build a business that ordinary people could afford.
In this world, the poor still made up the majority.
The rural areas back home still only used black-and-white televisions.
Most could only afford radios.
Simply because color TVs were too expensive.
But as long as the price was affordable, there would definitely be many people willing to buy them.
It was just that there were no channels over there; they were basically all out-of-town merchants, which was why they were so expensive.
Zhou Yueshen said, I always feel that according to this development model, in the future, every household will definitely be able to afford these things.
Since that day will come eventually, it might as well start with me.
After hearing this, Si Nian looked at him in astonishment.
In the past, back in their hometown, their knowledge was indeed limited.
But after Zhou Yueshen came here, saw foreign products, secured partnerships, and experienced the rapid development of the company, he also foresaw the changes of the future.
That was why he had such thoughts.
Si Nian really admired these business people.
Their vision and intuition truly surpassed those of ordinary people.
While ordinary people were still hesitating about whether to start a small business, they had already taken a big step forward into the future.
She looked at Zhou Yueshen with admiration, suddenly feeling that his achievements in the novel were not without reason.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhou Yueshen turned his head to glance at her.
He saw Si Nian looking at him with a mix of surprise and adoration in her eyes.
Such a gaze made him slightly stunned.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Si Nian hadn't expected him to suddenly turn around; she immediately withdrew her gaze, blushing a little.
Having been married for so long, it was still quite embarrassing for her to stare blankly at this man.
I think you are quite amazing.
Zhou Yueshen raised an eyebrow. Aren't you worried I'll go bankrupt? With this kind of investment, one careless move could cost us everything.
That was why Chen Nan had been so hesitant.
Si Nian shook her head and said affirmatively, No, I believe in you.
As long as you do it, you will definitely succeed.
It wasn't just because of the plot, but rather Zhou Yueshen's steadiness and capability that made her firmly believe he could definitely do it.
Zhou Yueshen reached out and patted her head. Actually, let alone Chen Nan, when this idea popped into his head, he too had a moment of hesitation.
Because Chen Nan had said, if he failed, had he thought about the consequences?
The consequence, of course, was that his family would suffer hardships alongside him.
Perhaps even worse than before.
But Zhou Yueshen didn't feel that their past life was that bad. The reason for his hesitation was Si Nian, because he didn't want her to live a hard life with him.
Therefore, Zhou Yueshen was only discussing this matter with Chen Nan and hadn't told Si Nian.
He was afraid she would worry.
But to his surprise, upon hearing about this, not only was she not afraid, but she also fully supported him.
So this was what it felt like to be supported.
In the past, no one supported anything Zhou Yueshen did. When he wanted to retire from the military, his superiors disagreed; when he started a breeding farm, everyone was pessimistic about it.
But no matter what others thought or how they laughed at him, he never cared.
But Si Nian was the only exception; he cared too much.
Having a bond made him less decisive.
But even if she didn't want to, it didn't matter, because everything he did was to give her and the children a better life.
The two brought the dishes to the table, and Si Nian went out to call everyone in to eat.
Chen Haoran, a grown adult, couldn't even beat a few children, and right now his head and body were covered in snow.
The children giggled happily as they walked into the house.
Si Nian told them to wash their hands and eat, and only then did they remember it was time for dinner, obediently lining up to wash their hands.
Chen Haoran awkwardly shook the snow off his body. He was about to pull out a chair and sit down, but seeing that the children were so particular, he rubbed his nose and followed them in.
Miao Chunhua stood up to help. Si Nian had the children bring out cola and liquor. Zhou Yueshen and Chen Nan drank liquor, while the little ones drank cola.
Everyone sat down together. Chen Nan asked curiously, Isn't Sister Si pregnant? Why doesn't it show at all? She doesn't look like she's changed much.
Not only was there no change, but he also noticed that Si Nian had become even prettier.
Thinking back to the months his wife was pregnant, she was so tormented by their son that she couldn't eat and lost so much weight she hardly looked like herself.
How could there be such a big difference when both were pregnancies?
Si Nian replied, Maybe it's because I'm wearing thick clothes, so you can't tell. Besides, I'm only three months along, so it's normal that it's not obvious.
Do you know if it's a son or a daughter? he asked curiously.
He also knew that none of these three children were Zhou Yueshen's biological children, so he found it quite a pity.
But now that his wife was finally pregnant, he was extremely happy for him.
After all, no matter how close other people's children were, they weren't one's own flesh and blood.
Chen Nan still believed it was better to have a child of one's own.
I don't know. Si Nian shook her head; she hadn't paid attention to this matter.
Dad, why are you asking this? Chen Haoran asked in confusion.
You don't understand. Back when your mom was pregnant with you, she suffered a lot and her body changed completely. I was very worried at the time, but your grandmother said that sons make mothers ugly, so she was definitely carrying a boy. And indeed, your mom gave birth to you.
Your grandmother knows how to read these signs; they can tell if it's a boy or a girl. But looking at your Auntie Si's reaction, it seems like a daughter.
After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yueshen.
Lao Chen? Are you serious? Nian Nian is pregnant with a daughter? Zhou Yueshen paused, his eyes showing a bit of pleasant surprise.
Mom, is there a little sister in your tummy?
The children looked over in pleasant surprise.
Chen Nan was dumbfounded.
In his opinion, having a son was essential for carrying on the family line and continuing the incense. Especially given Zhou Yueshen's age—he was already thirty-one or thirty-two—regardless of his capabilities, conceiving wasn't easy. Plus, with so many children already in the family, it would be best if the firstborn was a son, so there would be someone to inherit everything in the future. A woman giving birth to a son for her husband would also see her status rise and become more secure in their hometown.
If it was a daughter, she would eventually grow up and marry into another family.
Wouldn't all of Old Zhou's property go to these nephews then?
Although he was their adoptive father now, they weren't his biological children after all.
Chen Nan couldn't treat them as if they were his own flesh and blood.
Therefore, he assumed that Zhou Yueshen valued Si Nian so much because he wanted her to give him a son.
