Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Lin Nanjiang’s changes.

At the end of the week-long vacation, both adults and children were still very satisfied.

The night before leaving the island, Xiao Fangfang completed her daily task of making phone calls as usual. She was so sleepy that her eyes were filled with tears, but she refused to go to sleep. She snuggled up to her mother, dancing and talking all kinds of childish words.

The children's topics were all over the place, without much logic or meaning. Liu Suqin skillfully responded with "um" and "ah" sounds, occasionally asking two seemingly serious but actually meaningless questions. She tried her best to accommodate the child's desire to share, hoping to coax her into saying she had had enough so she could go to bed.

Unexpectedly, the little guy kept talking non-stop, and even revealed his true intentions. He blinked his big misty eyes and started to act coquettishly, "Mom, can we come here to play again next year during the Spring Festival?"

Liu Suqin raised her eyebrows, instinctively feeling that there was something wrong with what she said. It was normal for Xiao Fangfang to be reluctant to leave this place, and it was normal for her to want to come and play again next time, but could her little brain really accurately predict the time of next year's Chinese New Year?

Suspicious, Liu Suqin calmly began to ask, "Why next year's New Year?"

"Dad said so." The little girl sold out her old father without even a second's hesitation.

Facing his wife's questioning gaze, which seemed to indicate "it was you," Lin Nanjiang, who was watching the intimacy between mother and daughter with a smile, was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the bed. "I didn't, I didn't..."

Lin Nanjiang quickly explained the whole story, "That evening, I took her to the small garden downstairs to play on the swings. After playing for a while, the little one actually started sighing like an adult. I asked her why she was unhappy, and she said we were leaving on a plane the next day and she couldn't bear to leave everything here. I told her that if she liked it so much, she could talk to her mother about it and try to come back next year for Chinese New Year."

Good boy, the little guy just said "Dad said so" and put all the blame on him, causing him to almost get a grudge from his wife. Lin Nanjiang couldn't help but doubt his life in his heart. Is this the power of a little cotton-padded jacket? It warms the heart and lungs when it is caring, but it snows in June when it leaks?

It turned out that the little guy was trying to drug her today. Not to mention, her daughter looked so cute when she was clumsy.

But Liu Suqin didn't let Lin Nanjiang go so easily. "Don't think I can't tell just because you said it so quickly. You're the one who wants to come and play next year, right?"

Being seen through, Lin Nanjiang was a little discouraged, but he also felt that it was just as he expected, so he just licked his face and pretended to be stupid, "You are worthy of being you, Suqin. No matter what little tricks we have, they can't escape your discerning eyes, hehe——"

He rubbed his hands unconsciously while speaking, trying to get away with it, but he didn't notice the unbearable look in his wife's eyes.

Liu Suqin also couldn't understand how hard-working Lin Nanjiang was in his life. He was able to endure hardships, make money, deal with people, and manage business. Even if he couldn't do everything right away, he would hone himself through years of training and make himself grow and improve. In this respect, Lin Quansheng was far inferior to him.

Lin Quansheng's hard work and diligence are limited to his own small piece of land. He does not have a strong career ambition, so he does not have the urgent desire to become stronger.

In fact, when they first started their business, even if you count from the time they moved into the city, the gap between them was not that big. Lin Nanjiang took the initiative to pull Lin Quansheng to set up a stall together. If he had this idea, he could definitely catch up. However, after a few years, the situations of their two families were not very different, but it would be difficult for the other party to surpass them in this life. At most, he could just follow behind them and drink some meat soup.

Of course, this is exactly what Lin Quansheng wanted. He worked wholeheartedly for them, and while contributing to the boss's family's purchase of a car and a house, his own treatment was also good, and he was satisfied.

Liu Suqin even felt that as long as they didn't treat him unfairly in the future, Lin Quansheng would be able to live a stable life with Lin Nanjiang.

After all, I have only worked for my boss for three years, and he already owns a second house in Shenzhen. I am looking forward to these days more and more.

Yes, Lin Quansheng bought another house and finally fulfilled his wish of moving back to be neighbors with his good brother and boss. Unfortunately, he couldn't live in the same building with them. Li Liang helped him look for a long time and finally found a house with a similar layout and area, which was right behind them in the row.

Having waited for so long, Lin Quansheng didn't dare to be picky anymore. He decided on it immediately after he felt it was about right. The total price was much more expensive than what Liu Suqin and her friends had paid back then.

Lin Quansheng had just got the key to his new house when he heard that Liu Suqin had resigned from her job and was planning to open her own shop after the New Year. He hurried back to discuss it with his wife, and then the couple came to Liu Suqin's house with a smile and handed the key to her, asking her to find someone to renovate the shop after the New Year, and to do some renovations for them as well. After all, it's better to herd one sheep than to let two sheep go.

Of course, the decoration costs of their own homes are what they should be, and they won’t take advantage of this.

The two men's scoundrelly behavior made Liu Suqin laugh. Were they trying to get her to pay? But seeing Lin Quansheng's trusting expression, as if he had nothing to worry about, and Li Xiaoqing's slightly protruding belly, with a look of innocence and childishness on her face, Liu Suqin didn't refuse. She accepted the key and said something harsh, "For the last time, you two are married and have children. You can't let me decorate your children's wedding room too?"

Lin Quansheng almost blurted out, "Is there any problem?"

He watched little Fangfang being born, and said without a guilty conscience that he loved her like half his own daughter, giving her at least one heavy pure gold necklace every year. By the time Fangfang grew up to be married, the gold he, as an uncle, gave her would be enough for her to go out with a dignified dowry. Judging from himself, Lin Quansheng believed that Nanjiang Suqin had the same feelings for his unborn child. If the child was really a big fat boy, there would be no need for Nanjiang and his family to prepare a dowry. The parents would prepare the house for the daughter-in-law. Then, as the uncle and aunt who had watched him grow up, wouldn't it be natural for them to help decorate the wedding house?

The more Lin Quansheng thought about it, the more he felt justified. Fortunately, Li Xiaoqing had a change of heart. The house they were living in was originally arranged by Liu Suqin, and the newly bought house was going to be sold to someone else. It was already very presumptuous for him to be a hands-off boss. Li Xiaoqing repeatedly assured him, "No, if there is such a thing again in the future, we will try to do it ourselves and will not trouble you again."

"That's good." Liu Suqin thought that verbal promises weren't enough. If she remembered correctly, Lin Quansheng had been so grateful last time. This time, she couldn't let him get away with it. So she made another request, "After the New Year, I'll start preparing. One of you should go with me to find a decoration company, decide on the plan and materials, and supervise the construction. At least we need to have an understanding of the process, so we don't get caught in the dark later."

Lin Quansheng agreed with a bitter face, "Xiaoqing will be almost six or seven months old after the New Year. It will be inconvenient for her to run around. I'll do it."

There is no choice at all.

Liu Suqin realized it at that time. He was not even proactive in decorating his new house, and his wife was content with what she had. As long as they could make a decent living, they had no ambition to seize power and become the boss.

Lin Nanjiang is fundamentally different.

He used to live a life of mediocrity, without any goals or direction, but once he found a career he was good at, he was able to burst out with unprecedented energy. He had the motivation and courage to strive for progress and become a successful man. He would overcome all difficulties and strive to be the best. Even if he didn't know something, he would find a way to learn it instead of just lying down because he didn't understand it.

It has to be said that this part of Lin Nanjiang's characteristics gave Liu Suqin a great surprise. In his previous life, he was also responsible and worked hard to make money to support his family and try his best to provide good conditions for her and the children. However, because he had no academic qualifications and skills and his personality was honest, when the children grew up, he could only go to the construction site to move bricks to support his two children to go to college.

So when he was reborn, Liu Suqin's only request to him was that he should not be a burden and should do things within his ability. She had to take on the responsibility of making money to buy a house herself.

As a result, she could have retired right where she is before she could even start to exert her strength.

Today, Lin Nanjiang is still very impressive when he goes out. He is successful in his career and has become a businessman in his words and deeds. The confidence and courage brought by money have made him accustomed to going out with his head held high. His originally broad-shouldered and long-legged figure has become even taller and straighter, and his face, which he has been constantly maintaining, is also very handsome. He is completely different from the image in her memory, and he is a hundred streets ahead of him in every aspect in his previous life.

Except for being stupid in front of her from time to time.

Just like now, Lin Nanjiang was grinning foolishly at her with such a handsome face, rubbing his hands like a fly. He thought he was playing dumb, but in fact, if he drooled a little more he could cosplay as the stupid kid of a landlord. He was simply born stupid.

In his previous life, he would never have been able to do this. Is this the price of becoming stronger?

Liu Suqin couldn't bear to watch, so she chose to look away, out of sight, out of mind. "Isn't it easy enough to just come out and play? Why do you have to beat around the bush like this and even encourage your daughter to charge into battle?"

Lin Nanjiang didn't hear her sarcasm at all. He just felt that his wife's unconditional fulfillment of his wish meant that she had him in her heart! He immediately stopped laughing and looked at her expectantly, "Really? Will we come to the island to celebrate the New Year next year?"

Liu Suqin nodded. "Of course it's true. Since we all like to travel, we don't have to wait until the Chinese New Year. We can arrange it during the children's winter and summer vacations. Isn't this what we work hard to make money for?"

"That's great, Fangfang, did you hear that? Mom agreed to us!" Lin Nanjiang was very happy and immediately stretched out his big hand and gave his daughter a happy high five to celebrate.

Other fathers and daughters don’t hold grudges overnight, but for them, the grudge can’t last more than three seconds, and they become affectionate again in no time.

Seeing the father and daughter's joyful expressions, Liu Suqin curled her lips and asked kindly, "But are you sure you want to come to the island next time? Our country is vast, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and there are still many beautiful scenery to enjoy."

She then briefly listed some famous attractions: the capital, Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Four Great Mountains, the Mountain City of Spring, and so on. "These places have different scenery and have been developing tourism for a long time. I think there will be no shortage of villas for short-term rentals. In the capital, you might even be able to stay in a courtyard house. Suzhou and Hangzhou have exquisite gardens, and Shanghai has old Western-style houses..."

Just a few simple descriptions piqued the interest of both the father and daughter, and they began to think about the possibility of visiting different cities. Little did they know that the person who said this had already made up his mind to buy a house here if he had the chance.

However, the island is currently experiencing a real estate bubble. Liu Suqin doesn't know which year the housing prices hit their lowest point, but it is definitely not in the past two years. If she reveals this idea now, it will be bad if Lin Nanjiang wants to satisfy her too early. She might as well divert their attention so that she can wait and see in private and take action when the time comes.
