"Because he is too soft-hearted and not decisive enough in his actions. Such a character will be very detrimental to his future development."

"Uh!" Ye Ziqing was stunned for a moment. After thinking about what her brother had done over the years, it seemed that this was indeed what happened.

My younger brother is indeed very good at handling many things, but he is a bit indecisive.

Just like this time, if it were her, she would probably be wiped out in minutes, but so far, her brother seems to have done nothing.

If this was put into business, she would definitely suffer a big loss. She seemed to understand why her father did this.

"Dad, when do you plan to let him go home?"

"Wait until he matures! Not yet."

"Then I understand, but Dad, can I go see my brother?"

Hearing Ye Ziqing's question, Ye Lin glanced at her and asked: "What do you want to do? I tell you, you can never help him, let him find his own way."

"I know, don't worry about this, I will definitely not do anything, just go and take a look."

"It's okay if you just go and have a look, but you can't reveal his identity."

"Understood, don't worry about this, it will never happen."

"Um!"

Ye Ziqing came out of her father's study and went directly to Xu Manli. She shook her head and said, "Mom, I tried my best."

"Uh! Why, your dad still doesn't agree?"

"Yeah!" Ye Ziqing nodded, and then said, "But Mom, I think my dad did the right thing."

"You kid, where are you standing?" Xu Manli asked, tapping Ye Ziqing on the head.

Ye Ziqing rubbed her head and said, "Of course I am on the right side. My dad is trying to temper my brother!"

“Keep grinding, grind, grind, it’s been grinding for so many years.”

Hearing what Xu Manli said, Ye Ziqing smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

However, my younger brother has indeed been working hard outside for a long time, but there is no way. If such a big family business is to be handed over to him, of course he will have to work hard for a few more years.

To be honest, according to my brother's current ability, he is not qualified to inherit the family business.

This does not mean that she, her eldest sister, and several younger sisters want to compete with her younger brothers, because they will not compete at all.

"Forget it, I guess I can't count on you anymore." Xu Manli shook her head and said.

"Mom, I'm sorry!" Ye Ziqing went up and hugged Xu Manli's arm and started acting coquettishly.

"Go, go, go." Xu Manli smiled.

At the same time, over in Tangjialing, Dabao is also preparing new year's goods.

This year they will celebrate the Chinese New Year here in the apartment. The reason for this decision is that most of the people living in the apartment will not go home.

Originally, Dabao thought that the New Year was coming and these tenants would go back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year, but after asking, he found out that six or seven out of ten would not go back.

To be honest, Dabao didn't know what they thought and why they didn't go home to reunite with their families. If possible, he would like to go home.

With so many people not going home, Dabao had to express his disapproval, so he bought a lot of peanuts and melon seeds and planned to give some to each family.

It’s not much, just one pound of melon seeds and one pound of peanuts per family, but don’t underestimate it, and don’t think about how many families there are.

Not counting those in the village, there are nearly 20,000 apartment houses alone that have not returned home.

Fortunately, there are no shared rooms in the apartment. They are all shared by families of three, two or one person.

If it's the same as those who rent shops in the village, then there are too many.

Of course, there are them here in the apartment, and of course they are also available in the village. Dabao calculated that he needs about 25,000 kilograms of melon seeds and 25,000 kilograms of peanuts.

If melon seeds cost four yuan per catty and peanuts cost five yuan per catty, these alone would cost two hundred and twenty-five thousand yuan.

"Third brother, are you ready?" Dabao called inside.

"I'm coming."

"Hurry up, I have to buy things today." Dabao shouted outside while holding a bag.

Soon the bald man ran out from inside, holding on to his tie as he ran.

Seeing him like this, Dabao was helpless.

"Third brother, we are going shopping, not on a blind date. Why are you dressed so well?"

"Hey hey hey."

"Okay, let's go."

He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and it looked like Dabao was a follower. Of course, it would be more like that if he had hair on his head.

The two people first took a bus to Shangdi and took a taxi from Shangdi.

Because I bought a lot, of course I couldn't go to the dried fruit store to buy it, they were going to wholesale.

There are two places where you can wholesale in Imperial City, one is the Central Market, which is the Xinfadi Wholesale Market, and the other is the Dazhong Temple Wholesale Market, which is Sidaokou.

Although Dazhong Temple is relatively close, Dabao still plans to go to Xinfadi, which is bigger and cheaper.

The two of them took a taxi and arrived at the entrance of Xinfadi Market.

Then I paid the fare and went straight in. Xinfadi market is relatively large and divided into several areas.

The two of us went directly to the dried fruit section, maybe it was the Chinese New Year! There were many people in the market.

It can be said that there are crowds of people everywhere. Dabao owns a supermarket and sometimes comes here to buy goods, so he is no stranger to this place.

"Boss, how do you sell these melon seeds?"

"Five dollars."

"This is too expensive for you!"

During the Chinese New Year, prices of essential items like peanuts and melon seeds basically increase.

But it’s not such an exaggeration! Normally, the retail price is only four yuan at most. Of course, this is talking about Xinfadi.

"It's so expensive! Look how much other people pay for it."

"I'll get the goods."

"Uh! Oh! Sorry, sorry, I thought you bought it for zero."

"I would come all the way here to buy something for nothing."

"How much?" the boss asked, scratching his head.

"Twenty-five thousand catties."

"How much...how much?"

Hearing the boss ask again, the bald man shouted: "What's the matter with you? I didn't hear you clearly! Twenty-five thousand catties."

"Three dollars and a pound."

"I don't want this, I want the original, the good."

"What do you think of this?" the boss said to Dabao, pointing to a bag.

Dabao went over and took a look. The bag of melon seeds was quite big and full. Dabao tasted it and found that it was indeed good.

"how much is this?"

"Four yuan per catty."

"Cheaper."

"This is really not cheap. It's a big melon seed from Northeast China, so it's expensive to buy."

Hearing what the boss said, Dabao looked at the others and found that there was really nothing better than this, so he nodded and said: "Okay! This is the one, but you can't get me anything else to mix it in."

"Don't worry about this, it will never happen."

"Okay, by the way, do you have any better peanuts? I want the original flavor too."

"What do you think of this?" the boss said, pointing to a bag containing peanuts.

Dabao went over to take a look, then took a piece and said, "This one won't work. I want something good."

What Dabao needs is the kind with four peanuts, but the two kind is not delicious.

One peanut has four to five peanut kernels, which are red-skinned peanuts, and two of these are white-skinned peanuts. There is a big price difference.

"This is expensive!" the boss said, pointing to a bag.

"Yeah! This is what I want. How much does it cost per pound?"

"This will give you at least five yuan."

"Okay, I'll bring you twenty-five thousand catties."

"OK."

Then the boss issues an invoice to Dabao. Dabao does not need to pay all the money, but only pays part of the deposit.
