Chapter 396 Pleasant Environment
Su Ming listened silently, with all kinds of emotions surging in his heart. He understood his mother's worries and his father's current situation. The family's financial situation was not optimistic. Although his father had found a new job, his income was not high, and he still needed to support the family's expenses. Now, what they needed most was not a loan to buy a house, but stability and hope for the future.
"Mom, I understand. Maybe I was too impulsive." Su Ming said softly, regretting his decision a little.
Wang Lin patted Su Ming's hand gently, her eyes full of warmth and understanding. "Ming'er, it's not that we don't support you buying a house, but now is not the right time. It's not too late to consider this matter when your work is more stable. What we hope most is that you can work hard and live a stable and happy life in the future, so that we can feel more at ease."
Su Ming nodded, and he understood. Perhaps, he was too impatient and did not consider the feelings and actual situation of his family. He decided not to take out a loan to buy a house, but to use his own strength to try to help his family solve some practical problems.
Sophora japonica flowers slowly fell from the branches outside the window, gently covering the ground in the yard. Su Ming's thoughts went back to his childhood, and the scene of his brother and sister playing under the Sophora japonica tree was still vivid in his mind. At that time, their parents had worked hard so that they could receive a better education, and now it was their turn.
The next day, Su Ming got up early and decided to go to the market to buy some ingredients to make a hearty dinner for the whole family in the evening. He walked through the bustling streets, bypassed the familiar vegetable stalls, and bought fresh vegetables and meat. He was good at cooking and often helped his mother with housework when he was a child. Although his skills were not very skilled, he always tried his best to make every dish fragrant.
Back home, Su Ming was busy preparing dinner while chatting with his parents about his recent life. His father, Su Qiang, chatted with his parents about interesting things at work and gossip about his colleagues as usual. His mother, Wang Lin, cared about Su Ming's life and work from time to time. Her warm words were like a spring breeze, blowing through their ordinary and happy life.
"Ming'er, you're back? The weather is so nice today, and the locust flowers are blooming so well." Su Qiang looked at his son with a smile, feeling extremely pleased with Su Ming's growth.
"Yes, Dad, the fragrance of the locust flowers is really nice. I bought some vegetables today, and I will make a delicious meal for everyone in the evening." Su Ming said while washing vegetables with a warm smile on his face.
Wang Lin looked at her son's focused look, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that no matter whether Su Ming could afford a house in the future, he was a filial and sensible son. Although the family was troubled by financial problems, they had the warmth of each other's company, and all this was enough.
During dinner, Su Ming's cooking skills were fully displayed. The dishes he carefully cooked were delicious and filled the entire table with tempting aromas. While serving the dishes, Su Ming chatted with his family about recent life trivia, making the atmosphere seem particularly warm and harmonious.
"Wow, brother, this dish you cooked is so delicious! I ate a lot in one go." Su Ting praised with a smile. She seemed to have forgotten her worries about studying and was fully immersed in the delicious dinner.
With the support and understanding of his family, Su Ming decided not to take out a loan to buy a house, but to focus his energy and resources on helping his family through the difficult times. He came up with a solution, hoping to increase the family's income by investing in some small businesses. Su Ming searched online and found several restaurants and a supermarket that were for sale nearby, and decided to take his sister Su Ting to investigate.
"Sister, let's go take a look at those restaurants and supermarkets that are to be transferred today. I think these businesses may be helpful to our family. Do you have any ideas?" Su Ming asked softly. He hoped that Su Ting could also participate. After all, this decision would affect the entire family.
Su Ting listened, and a hint of curiosity and excitement flashed in her eyes. "Brother, I think this is a good idea! If we can do it, it will not only help the family, but also allow us to learn a lot. Moreover, this way, mom and dad won't have to work so hard anymore."
Su Ming smiled slightly, looking at his sister's innocent smile, and his heart was filled with warmth. "Well, let's go and take a look first, and then decide what to do." He thought of his parents who had always supported them at home, and felt that he had a greater responsibility.
So, Su Ming and Su Ting set out to the city center to look at the businesses that were to be transferred. The first one was a restaurant located in a busy commercial district. The business was good, but the owner decided to transfer it for personal reasons. Su Ming carefully checked the decoration and equipment of the restaurant, asked about the business situation and rental costs, and then discussed it with Su Ting.
"Brother, this restaurant is in a good location, and business seems to be pretty good. However, the rent here is probably going to be quite high, right?" Su Ting asked with a frown. She knew that rent was one of the important factors affecting profits.
Su Ming nodded. They had already learned about the rent of this restaurant. "Yes, the rent is indeed high, and this business also requires a lot of manpower to manage. If we consider taking over, we need to think about how to arrange the manpower and how to reduce costs to increase profit margins."
They walked around the restaurant, carefully observing every corner. Although the equipment in the kitchen was a bit old, it was generally clean and tidy. Su Ming approached a corner and saw a photo hanging on the wall, which was a photo of several staff members smiling and taking a group photo. He couldn't help but imagine the scenes that he and Su Ting might face in the future, and his heart was full of anticipation and anxiety.
After leaving the restaurant, they went to another small restaurant that was relatively remote but still doing good business. This restaurant was not big, but the decoration was simple and generous, and the environment was pleasant. Su Ming and Su Ting sat at the table in the corner, ordered a few dishes, and discussed while tasting.
"Brother, the environment and taste of the dishes in this restaurant are really good, and the location is relatively quiet, and the business is also good. I think this one is more suitable for us than the previous one, and it can be operated well without too many people." Su Ting said as she tasted the shredded pork with fish flavor.
Su Ming also nodded. He felt that what Su Ting said made sense. "Yes, this restaurant is indeed more in line with our expectations. Moreover, if we decide to take over, I think we can make some minor adjustments, such as increasing publicity and improving service quality. It should have good room for development."
