"This is the house you were allocated?"

Lin Yu was taken by her parents to see the house they were going to live in, a courtyard house with one entrance, covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters.

The main hall, side rooms, east and west wing rooms, and rear room together comprise more than a dozen rooms.

This house is even bigger than Oumanqingna.

Lin Yu found it hard to believe that the higher-ups would allocate such a house to them.

Shouldn't apartments generally be allocated to different buildings?

Lin Shengli raised his chin and said, "That's the place your father wanted himself. I didn't like the apartment building, so I even paid extra to live here."

Shen Zhinian added, "It's practically a buy-one-get-one-free deal. It already has my and your dad's names on it. It'll be left for you and Xiao Yi in the future."

She added, "I will also buy you the house as part of your promised dowry."

This courtyard is where their family lives. After they pass away, it will be divided between the siblings.

The house that was promised to be bought for Lin Yu belongs to her alone, for her, her husband, and her children to live in.

Lin Shengli and Shen Zhinian made things clear to avoid future arguments between the siblings.

Lin Yu understood her parents' meaning, and she said generously, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

Sure enough, seeing that she treated them as if they were old friends, Lin Shengli and Shen Zhinian were both happy.

"When are we going to move in?" Lin Yu loved this courtyard and couldn't wait to move in.

Lin Shengli touched the door frame and said, "This place still needs some repairs. We're going to find someone to do it. We'll take this time to go back to Lianhua Brigade."

Shen Zhinian nodded and said, "We can move when we come back, and you can get married from here."

Lin Yu's parents had thought all this out; all she needed to do was follow along.

She had no objection to this; sometimes she actually enjoyed having someone arrange everything for her.

Not long after they viewed the house, Lin Shengli and Shen Zhinian boarded the train back to Lianhua Brigade.

They had just left when Li Dahui returned.

Upon hearing about the two, Li Dahui was still regretful: "If I had known, I would have come back earlier and been able to see Brother Shengli."

Lin Yu said nonchalantly, "They'll be settling down in Beicheng in the future, so there will be plenty of opportunities to meet."

Ou Manqing nodded and said, "Yes, they also bought a house and will stay here for a long time."

Li Dahui's eyes lit up: "You bought a house? Where is it? How much did it cost?"

Seeing his expression, Lin Yu knew he had similar thoughts: "What, you want to buy a house too?"

Li Dahui glanced at Ou Manqing, scratched his head and said, "Of course I want to stay. Living in a big city is good for the child and for Manqing."

As for himself, he can earn money to support his wife and children wherever he goes.

He gradually became familiar with the place, and it would be even better if he could stay.

He hadn't mentioned this idea to Ou Manqing yet, but he knew she wouldn't object, as she also really liked life here.

He then asked Lin Yu, "How much did your parents pay for their house? Where is it located?"

Lin Yu spoke frankly: "That was a gift from their work unit, which was essentially a comprador. It's a courtyard similar to yours, and they only gave us a few hundred yuan. It shouldn't be of much reference value."

Li Dahui looked somewhat disappointed. Lin Yu then said, "I've already asked around. A house like yours would probably cost several thousand yuan to buy, but such houses are rare and hard to come by."

Li Dahui thought for a moment. They had a few thousand yuan on hand, enough to buy a house even if they set aside money for their business.

"Manqing, then we..."

Ou Manqing naturally understood what he meant and said without hesitation, "Let's ask the current landlord whether he wants to sell the house or not."

Li Dahui's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, yes, yes, if we can buy it, we won't have to move."

What Ou Manqing didn't say was that such a courtyard isn't like cabbage; you can't just buy it whenever you want.

Many people will not sell their own houses.

Their current landlord is a special case; he was exonerated and returned to live there. This house holds many unpleasant memories for him, so he has no intention of moving back in.

In such a situation, the other party might be willing to sell the house to them.

After discussing the house, the group began to pay attention to the things Li Dahui had brought back.

This time he set up his own stall, so he didn't bring hair accessories or stockings, which are typically women's items.

He was afraid that he would be arrested as a hooligan because the current social atmosphere was not very open.

However, he did take some more socks and scarves.

The rest were mostly handbags, shoes, and belts.

This time he also brought a lot of men's t-shirts and shorts.

Lin Yu couldn't help but admire his business acumen; these were all things that were popular in this era.

There's no worry about a lack of market demand.

Moreover, Li Dahui not only got the right goods, but he also obtained the contact information of several bosses.

The extra few days I spent in Zhejiang Province were spent contacting train staff.

He will contact the boss directly and have them send the goods onto the train, where he will pick them up at the train station.

This saves people the trouble of going back and forth between the two locations.

Lin Yu didn't know how he persuaded the train staff and those bosses. Logically speaking, doing so was very risky, and no matter how many benefits he offered, they might not be tempted.

But Li Dahui actually managed to get it done.

The day before Li Dahui returned, Ou Manqing, along with Song Meili and Lin Jing, sold out all the remaining stock.

Therefore, Li Dahui dared not rest and went out to set up a stall the day after he returned home.

Lin Yu had to go to the hospital to see Gu Yunze, so she didn't go back to setting up her stall.

Ou Manqing, Song Meili, and Lin Jing all went over to help.

Li Dahui said he would pay them wages.

Song Meili and Lin Jing didn't have many days left of their holiday, so they thought it would be good to earn more money and actively went to sell goods.

With the popularity they had built up from their previous stall, many customers gathered as soon as they put their goods out.

A mother came over with her little girl and asked Song Meili, "Why don't you sell hair accessories anymore?"

Song Meili told her with a smile, "School is about to start, and this guy will be the only one running the stall. He'll be too busy to handle everything."

The woman looked at her in surprise: "School's starting? You're still in school?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The woman glanced at her age and asked, "You didn't go to university, did you?"

Song Meili immediately understood; this was yet another person who didn't believe college students would set up a stall.

So she smiled and said, "I'm a university student, is there anything else you want to buy?"

Since she was being used anyway, Song Meili wasn't embarrassed at all.

The woman felt embarrassed when she heard what she said. She had only intended to spend a few cents to buy a hair accessory for the child, but in the end, she had no choice but to buy ten pairs of socks instead.

Before leaving, he said, "College students really know how to do business."

Song Meili and Lin Jing exchanged a smile and shook their heads, taking it as a compliment.

After that, many more customers came, all asking why they weren't selling hair accessories anymore.

Few people were not surprised after hearing Song Meili's answer.

Later, word spread quickly, and everyone knew that the girls running the stall were college students...
