"Well, I have to be more careful then."

"Well, remember to be steady for a while."

"Okay, let go. I'm an experienced driver, and I'm very stable."

Xie Linan found a few experienced drivers with steady hands and the steadiest driving skills to move Ye Xiaozhen's equipment to her store.

The decoration of the store was done with space reserved specifically for this set of equipment, and it was just right.

They moved them over carefully and placed them in the designated locations according to Ye Xiaozhen's instructions. Then a group of grown men watched her install those strange machines.

Everyone was stunned.

How can the boss’s wife be so capable?

All foreign machines can be installed.

For a bunch of unsophisticated people like them, they couldn't understand anything at all, and after looking at it for a long time they still had no idea what it was about.

It took them a day to move everything over and install it.

In the evening, Xie Linan invited them to dinner. They had a simple meal and drank some wine.

He added, "It's too late today, so I'll just treat you to a simple meal. I'll move to a new house next day and set up a few tables at the restaurant next door, and treat everyone to a good meal."

"Okay, the boss is really generous. The restaurant next door is not cheap."

"I'm treating you guys to food and drinks, no money involved. Come on, let's go."

Ye Xiaozhen doesn't drink, so she came back after eating.

Then I cleaned the table with Xie Li.

It has been done, it has to be clean.

Ye Xiaozhen looked at the work going on upstairs and downstairs and said, "Sister, stop it. We'll find some cleaners to do it tomorrow."

"Huh?" It was just a small job. Xie Li had no idea of ​​hiring a cleaner to do it.

"No, it's just a small thing, not enough for me to do alone. Besides, where can I find it?"

"Is there a housekeeping service nearby?"

Housekeeping?

"What is housekeeping?" Xie Li looked confused.

This... really confused Ye Xiaozhen.

So is there a word called housekeeping in this era?

In other words, Xie Li just hadn't heard of it.

"They are the kind of people who help others clean tables and floors, do laundry and cook."

"You mean the servant? Oh, this kind of work is not worth it. It's better for us to do it ourselves than to let others make money. You and Lin An go back, and I promise that this place will be clean before you move in."

Xie Li insisted on doing it herself, saying that she had nothing to do and was free anyway.

And she is still waiting for Ye Xiaozhen to open.

The equipment is ready, all that’s left is to open the business and make money.

In the end, Ye Xiaozhen agreed.

There was actually a lot of furniture in the house, but they didn't spend any money on it.

They didn't spend any money on the furniture in their home because a nearby woodworking furniture factory made it for them free of charge.

Previously, Ye Xiaozhen suggested to Xie Linan that the school tables, chairs, cabinets, and other woodworking work could be customized directly from factories.

Bulk customization is cheap and saves money.

The whole school needed so many chair cabinets that it was possible to revitalize the woodworking furniture factory. The boss thanked Xie Lin An by giving him a whole house made of solid wood. What's that?

Ye Xiaozhen also helped them advertise.

There are many houses on this street that need renovation, and there are ready-made custom-made model houses.

Not only did the boss not lose money, he even made a profit.

Because after seeing their whole house customization model house, people will go to that furniture factory to customize it.

It's not far away, and if it breaks down, you can get a free replacement part, and it's covered by repairs. Isn't this more cost-effective than buying it yourself or hiring a carpenter to do it?

…

Half a month later, when they moved.

I first set up a few tables in my hometown and invited the villagers to have dinner.

After dinner they had to go into the city, and Xie Linan set up a dozen tables at the largest restaurant nearby, mainly to invite his business friends to dinner.

It was only after Ye Xiaozhen looked at the list of people he had invited that she realized how extensive his network of contacts was.

Bosses of various material suppliers, peers, local entrepreneurs, educators, politicians, financial (banking) people, etc.

It's true. It would be unacceptable if I don't get rich in the future.

"So many people?"

Xie Linan smiled faintly and said, "Is this a lot? We will have more people at the banquet next time."

That's right.

As he was speaking, he saw Lin Xinghua squatting at the door smoking.

He patted Ye Xiaozhen's shoulder and whispered, "I'm going to talk to Grandpa. This old man has lived here for decades and is reluctant to move away now."

Originally Lin Xinghua wanted to stay here, but Xie Lin An said that there was no one to take care of the child, so he asked him to go with him to take care of the child.

In fact, the main thing is that I still don't let him go.

He is old, if he stays here, no one will know what happened to him, he can't always rely on his neighbors.

And now that they are gone, what will we do with the housework?

He has worked all his life and he couldn't bear to see the land at home left empty and overgrown with grass, so he had to work hard.

At this age, if you work yourself into trouble, that would be a burden.

"Grandpa, what are you doing? You said you were going to take care of the kids, but you're not smoking. I've seen you smoke three times."

When he heard him say this, he put down his cigarette.

"No more, oh! No more."

"Why are you sighing again? We have a good life ahead of us. We can move into a big house in the city tomorrow."

Lin Xinghua was silent and depressed.

"Hey, you old man, didn't you always ask us to compete with you in the past, and then go to the city with us to enjoy life? Now that I'm asking you to go to the city to enjoy life, why are you still frowning? Are you deceiving me, old man?"

Lin Xinghua: “…”

"You must be lying to me. I shouldn't have listened to you. Why would I go to the city? I should have stayed in the countryside, planted crops, and raised ducks."

"You bastard, you're making fun of me again, you're asking for a beating."

He took his pipe and knocked on Lin An's door.

Xie Linan dodged and jumped away nimbly.

It was a hot day and he took off his shoes and sat under the eaves. He was limping and couldn't stand it, so he cursed a few times in anger.

The laughter and cursing of the grandfather and grandson made the three kids laugh too, with their mouths drooling.

…

The next morning they started moving. The country folk got up early and people from all over the country came to watch.

Occasionally lend a hand and help them load things onto the truck.

A group of old men and women envied Lin Xinghua, and one of them said that Lin was a lucky old man.

After a lifetime of hard work, I can finally enjoy my old age.

Grandpa was reluctant to leave the home where he had lived for most of his life, and he was very happy to hear these voices, as they were an affirmation of his eldest grandson.

Ye Xiaozhen once heard a fortune-teller friend say that in modern society, the lives of people who have smooth sailing from childhood to old age and those who have miserable lives from childhood to old age are just unlucky.

In fact, most people are not that lucky these years.

If we count from 2020 onwards, the majority of this generation suffered hardships when they were young but became luckier as they grew older.

Of course, there are also quite a few people who had a good childhood but are getting worse and worse.

There are also some people who suffer when they are young and enjoy happiness when they are old.
