Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 256 Number of Guests
Now, An Songxiang knew it was no time to be polite.

She thought for a moment, then raised one hand, saying somewhat guiltily:

"Could I have one spot, please?"

"Of course!" An Jianping agreed without hesitation.

Jiangcun has arranged large round tables. If there are many people, we can ask him to arrange a table for ten people.

Those were also some of the village committee's assets before Jiangcun was demolished.

In the past, this was done on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the second day of the second lunar month.

It can even be used for weddings and funerals in the village.

I never imagined that even after moving out of Jiangcun, it would still be useful one day.

An Songyu sighed as she counted the people on her side.

We can only invite three tables of guests, and the first table will definitely be for the uncles and aunts.

If you do the math, the couple alone, plus the grandmother, is enough to fill a table.

Therefore, An Songyu was not greedy. She said:

“Then I’ll also take five spots, so I can make a table with Xiao Xiang’s guests.”

We'll need to discuss the specific allocation of these five spots with Chien Tzu-yu tonight.

That evening, when An Songyu brought up the matter, Jian Ziyu immediately said:
"I'll call my parents later to tell them the exact time."

“It’s this Sunday,” An Songyu replied with a smile.

Sundays are the days when most people don't go to work and can easily go out and join in the fun.

“Okay, I’ll call in a bit.” Jian Ziyu nodded immediately, but he didn’t hang up right away.

An Songyu thought for a moment and asked:

"If other family members want to come and join in the fun, that's fine too."

“Our family has three seats available. They are the village’s large round tables, each seating ten people.”

“I have five guests available.”

"So who else were you originally planning to call?" Chien Tzu-yu asked with a smile.

An Songyu smiled sheepishly:

"I didn't originally plan to invite anyone!"

“We had just made arrangements at home when I called them right away.”

Chien Tzu-yu understood his girlfriend's feelings back then.

He quickly and gently continued to ask:

"If only three people from my family come, who are you going to give the other two spots to?"

“If the rest of your family doesn’t have time, then I should probably call He Nian and Ying Ying!” An Songyu answered without thinking.

"Then let's call them!" Chien Tzu-yu made the decision for his girlfriend without hesitation.

An Songyu hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure we don't need to call anyone else?"

“Yes!” Jian Ziyu nodded directly, and then explained:

"You know my family. Although I only have one brother and one sister, they are both married."

“That’s true!” An Songyu also realized.

It's not appropriate to call someone "brother" or "sister" on their own.

But if the two of them were to call together, the couple would have to be separated.

In such a setting, there's no point in discussing it.

After all, it was a housewarming banquet held by the entire Jiangcun village.

Aside from the people of Jiangcun themselves, there were far too many strangers.

With the guests decided, the young couple could finally relax and enjoy their time together.

An Songxiang had made all five phone calls, and she could still hear her sister's coquettish voice from time to time. She couldn't help but shake her head.

I bet her sister has never seen herself on the phone!
Otherwise, I would definitely despise myself to death!

An Songyu had no idea what her sister was thinking.

After reluctantly hanging up the phone with her boyfriend, she called her friends and Wang Henian one by one.

I heard they were going to attend the housewarming banquet for the entire Jiangcun village.

Having never witnessed such an occasion before, the two eagerly inquired about the timing of the banquet before An Songyu could even finish speaking.

However, after hearing the location, both of them were quite taken aback.

Both of them had been to Happiness Garden.

They never imagined that such a grand banquet could be held in such a neighborhood.

That's why the two of them were even more excited. Sunday was fast approaching.

On Saturday evening, An Songyu's family also packed their things and took the elderly back to Happiness Garden.

Meanwhile, An Jianguo and his brothers, along with their entire families, were also present.

Anshun and the elderly couple had their own household registration after their youngest son got married.

But An Jianmin called the two of them and used his spot to invite the two sisters.

Anshun and the elderly couple only used their own quota to invite their in-laws and relatives and friends from the previous generation, such as their great-aunt.

In addition, there's An Jian'an's side.

Like his younger brother, his two children are currently in different levels of education, one in college and the other in high school.

Besides their own relatives and friends.

With three tables of people, we only need to reserve a few spots for the two children to invite their friends.

Even so, the two sisters combined only invited about half a table of people.

Moreover, they all arrived at Happiness Garden a day early.

That's why all of them moved in.

An Songyu looked at her friend coming out of the shower room and asked:

Why aren't you out drying your hair?

Yu Yingying looked at the solid wood floor and smiled:

"I think it's more convenient to blow in the toilet."

An Songyu pointed helplessly to the dressing table:

"Look, there's a carpet over there!"

Therefore, the things she was worried about will not happen at all.

In addition, there were several other carpeted areas in the room.

Just like the large, soft carpet in front of the bed, it was so comfortable that the two of them didn't want to get up once they sat down.

"Your house is really nice!" Yu Yingying said with a hint of envy.

"It's mainly because it's large, so it looks comfortable," An Songyu explained with a smile, adding:

"Buying a house isn't that hard?"

"Your store has already opened its third branch this month, right?"

They're opening one almost every month!
Upon hearing An Songyu's words, Yu Yingying also smiled.

She gave a perfunctory bow:

"Thanks to your support!"

"I don't mind, it's you who have worked hard!" An Songyu shook her head indifferently.

She was involved in selecting the location for the first store.

Later, she didn't get involved in anything, whether it was running the store or opening branch stores.

An Songyu herself is not short of money. The continuous opening of these branches will at most mean that she will not receive any dividends.

For Yu Yingying and her master, it probably won't be so easy.

This is also why they didn't seize the opportunity to look for An Songyu again.

If we approach An Songyu again, she can indeed invest more money and expand the branches at a faster pace.

The share left for them will be greatly reduced.

The two of them naturally knew that each additional branch would bring even greater revenue.

Even if their share decreases, their total revenue will not decrease.

And it can capture the market in a much faster time.

However, given their combined energy and management skills...

After much thought and discussion, the two decided to abandon this tempting idea.

An Songyu only found out about this later when Yu Yingying mentioned it to him on the phone.

An Songyu didn't mind the two's thoughts.

She admired their composure even more.

She believed that their steady and reliable style would help.

The store will only get better!
And now, they're expanding at a rate of one new store per month.

As the number of established stores increases and their revenue-generating capacity grows stronger, the speed at which they open new branches can be accelerated.

They are the two who use all their income on expansion.

The cash I have on hand now seems to be almost as much as when I first started my business.
