Chapter 30 Chapter 30 The boss lady knows whether she has the ability or not once she makes a move.

They had already met most of the neighbors in their building when they moved in that morning.

After all, it was such a big commotion, and it was common people's nature to watch the fun. During the day, some people would stick their heads out of their windows to greet their new neighbors, while some of the more outgoing ones would follow the guests into the house to take a look.

Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang also gave a warm welcome.

The neighbors she was talking about now mainly referred to the shops outside the community that had public telephones.

During the time Lin Nanjiang was renovating, he'd become quite familiar with many of the nearby businesses. When Liu Suqin mentioned wanting to go to the door and make a phone call to let people back home know they'd successfully moved to their new home so they could share in the fun, he confidently said, "I have a boss I know, and I'll take you there shortly."

As he spoke, Lin Nanjiang, still pushing his daughter, leisurely walked out of the community gate. He then chose a tobacco and liquor store whose owner and wife looked quite welcoming and friendly. He walked in and greeted them familiarly, "Brother Wang, sister-in-law, I'm bringing my family to make a phone call."

The boss, known as Brother Wang, had a naturally smiling face. He stood up and greeted, "Boss Lin, welcome, welcome. I haven't congratulated you on your new house yet."

"You're welcome. You're the big boss. I'm just running a small business to make ends meet," Lin Nanjiang said, repeatedly waving his hands to refuse the cigarettes offered by Boss Wang. "We have children at home, so my brother and I have quit smoking."

Lin Nanjiang and Lin Quansheng do not smoke now, but when they go out and interact with people, they always have to carry a pack or two of cigarettes in their pockets. Just like when decorating, they need to build closer relationships with the workers and make them work more diligently and meticulously, so they have to buy cigarettes and water as rewards from time to time.

Today, when we were moving, Lin Nanjiang was not stingy and gave each of the moving team workers and friends who helped with the moving a pack of cigarettes as a thank you. When a neighbor came over to say hello, he also gave them two as a token of appreciation.

He had spent a lot of money at the tobacco and liquor store in the past few months, so Boss Wang didn't get angry when he was rejected. He smiled and took his hand back, "Brother, you don't smoke or drink, you'd be hard to find even with a lantern. Is this your sister-in-law? You're so lucky."

Several men gathered together to chat. The proprietress was no stranger to it. She squatted down and teased Fangfang for a while. She really liked this beautiful child with white skin, big eyes and a princess dress. After that, she asked Liu Suqin where to buy a baby stroller. "I didn't expect there are strollers like this now. They are so light and convenient. I don't have to carry them up and down when I live in an apartment. It's a pity that my children are older. The youngest is in junior high school and can't use it. I can give it to my eldest niece who just got married. She should be having a baby soon."

After a brief exchange of names, the proprietress, Yingjie, took the initiative to lead Liu Suqin to the phone and asked, "Aqin, who are you calling? Do you want me to help you dial the number?"

"I just moved and have been busy packing and entertaining guests all day. My hometown doesn't know the details yet, so I thought of calling and letting them know now." Liu Suqin thanked Sister Ying for her kindness and first gave her mother's home area code and phone number.

"Inter-provincial long-distance calls are a bit expensive." Sister Ying kindly reminded as she dialed the number skillfully.

She knew that the young couple would not be short of this little money if they could buy a house in this community, but she believed in clearly marked prices in her business, so she still stated the charging standards in advance.

Liu Suqin was indeed very calm after hearing this. She just sighed, "It's really not easy to live in the city. Eating, drinking water, and making phone calls are all more expensive than outside the Great Wall."

But she was just expressing her feelings and didn't have much resentment. These were all things she had prepared for, and besides, this was just the beginning.

After sighing, Liu Suqin took the phone without changing her expression. The familiar loud voice of the store lady soon rang out from the other end. She also greeted her skillfully and was about to hang up and wait ten minutes before calling back, but she didn't expect the other party to directly tell her not to hang up. "Your parents are playing cards in front of my house, enjoying the cool air. Wait, I'll call them over to answer the phone."

The next second, Liu Suqin could clearly hear the old lady's voice yelling for her parents. After a few breaths, a more friendly and familiar voice came from the other end, "Third brother, are you finally done? I thought you were moving today and must have been very busy during the day, but there are so many people over there, you should be able to finish packing in a day. You should be free to call us in the evening, so I dragged your father to wait at the village entrance, and sure enough, we are waiting here."

Liu Suqin thought it was possible but unnecessary, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised high, "Yes, you are still as predictable as a god."

"What's with the gods..." Mother Liu was full of pride and wanted to say a few more words, but Father Liu, who had always been honest and only knew how to bury his head in work, couldn't help but hurried over and asked, "Xiaomei, tell us how your move went? Is the house in the city comfortable?"

Liu Suqin is the only daughter raised by her parents. Before her younger brother was born, she was the youngest child in the family, so everyone called her Ximei. Even after she had an even younger brother, she could not completely get rid of the nickname "Ximei".

Her father was so anxious that he started to interrupt her, which showed how curious he was. Liu Suqin did not keep her in suspense and briefly introduced the new house. It was a second-hand house that was a bit old and was on the third floor. Fortunately, she took the trouble to spruce it up, painted the walls white, laid the floors, and added a few simple pieces of furniture. It didn't look so shabby anymore. It was quite comfortable to live in and had just the right number of rooms. However, it was definitely not as spacious and bright as the house in her hometown.

Liu Suqin didn't have to hide the secret from her biological parents, but she heard a lot of noise on the other end of the phone. Besides her parents, brother and sister-in-law, there were many familiar voices whose names she couldn't remember for the time being. She thought that there might be a dozen or so people gathered in the store.

The content of this phone call will be known to the whole village without having to wait until tomorrow.

Then she definitely couldn't tell the truth and should just talk about some of the house's shortcomings.

When there were really no more shortcomings to talk about, he decisively changed the subject and talked about the stress of life in big cities. Not only did he have to spend money on food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but even if he wanted to take a bath, he had to pay for water and fire. Then he asked about his parents' recent busy farming season and whether they were well enough to handle it and how the harvest was going.

While Liu Suqin was getting the rhythm of the conversation going, Lin Nanjiang came to her aid in time, taking his daughter out of the stroller. The father and daughter huddled over to the phone, "Fangfang, come here. Let's say hello to our grandparents over there. It's been a while."

It was not the first time that little Lin Weizhen saw her mother "talking to herself" about this strange thing, but she still maintained full curiosity. While cooperating with her father in babbling, she reached out to hook the telephone wire.

Unfortunately, the little fat boy's hands were a little short, and he couldn't hook the phone line. Even the little guy himself was distracted because he heard the exaggerated voice of Liu's mother coming from the other end of the phone, "Oh, grandma's darling grandson, this soft and sweet little voice makes grandma's heart melt."

Liu Suqin: ...

The little guy was quite curious about the sound, waving his little fists and responding with “Ahhh”, while the other side was calling out for help.

After chatting for a while, Liu's mother reluctantly said to Liu Suqin, "That's enough. We're relieved to know that everything is going well for you in your new home. You should take good care of the children in the city, and don't neglect Nanjiang's health. Making money is important, don't overwork yourself. That's it for now, I'm hanging up."

After finishing the call with her parents, Liu Suqin immediately called the phone number in her husband's village and said almost the same words again, but in half the time. Then she gave the microphone to Lin Quansheng and asked him to say a few words to his family.

The last call was to Aunt Zhang in the village. Liu Suqin first talked to Aunt Jin about business, and then gave the microphone to Aunt Zhang, asking her to personally report her safety to her old sisters. By the way, she also told her that she could call this number directly in case of emergency in the future, and asked the boss to notify the residents of XX floor, Building XX to answer the phone.

After several rounds of phone calls, it was still early. The city was bustling with traffic at night, and neat rows of street lights illuminated the streets as bright as day, but it was a completely different scene from the daytime.

Except for Liu Suqin, who was already quite ordinary, everyone else, including Aunt Zhang, a local, felt that the night view of the Special Administrative Region was unique and very different from the crowded and chaotic night markets outside the customs. The spacious and clean streets and the endless flow of pedestrians and vehicles intertwined to create a prosperous urban scene. Lin Nanjiang and his companions, who were country people visiting the city for the first time, felt that it was particularly grand and elegant, and they wanted to see more of such a high-end night view.

So the group continued to stroll along the busy street, seemingly aimlessly, but before they knew it they had arrived at the door of their shop.

Since I'm here, I must go in and take a look. Lin Nanjiang happens to carry the key to the store with him at all times.

Lin Nanjiang had been holding onto the stroller's handle tightly that night, as if someone would snatch his treasure away if he let go, so Lin Quansheng took the key and opened the door. He then expertly switched on the light, revealing the simple yet clean and bright noodle shop. He pushed open the glass door and bowed politely, "Welcome, Madam, to come and inspect it."

Lin Nanjiang also joined in, "Boss lady, come in and check it out and give us some advice?"

Liu Suqin walked around the shop and actually offered a few suggestions. "Everything else is nice, and the facilities are very complete. But the wall across the street is empty anyway. Why not print a large menu and put it up there? It doesn't have to be too complicated. Just list the items we sell and the prices. Use a larger font so people can see it at a glance."

Lin Nanjiang nodded thoughtfully. "It would indeed be much more convenient to put a menu on the wall, but if it takes up an entire wall, wouldn't it make it seem like we have too few varieties?"

As he spoke, he began to count on his fingers, "Now that we've opened a shop, we can have more flavors of fried noodles. Vegetarian fried noodles, or fried noodles with eggs, meat, and ham, or any two of them, that's only six or seven. And there's only one flavor of wontons, so we can add fried rice..."

Liu Suqin thought for a moment and said, "We already have fried noodles and fried rice, so let's add fried noodles, as well as mixed noodles and mixed noodles. But the noodles should be a little particular, choose the ones with the right hardness so that the fried noodles will be smooth and chewy."

Lin Nanjiang thought that he could tell whether his wife was capable or not just by looking at her actions. She had been at home giving birth and taking care of the children and had not worried about the business for more than half a year. She was just taking a walk and came across the noodle restaurant that was about to open. On a whim, she came in to take a look. Seeing the eloquent manner in which she talked, there was no trace of what she said: pregnancy makes people stupid for three years.

Listening to his wife's detailed and thoughtful arrangements, Lin Nanjiang admired her intelligence and cleverness from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, a long-lost sense of security came over him. This is the happiness of being dominated by his wife!

He sighed with emotion, carefully taking note of every word his wife said, and gave positive feedback. "Okay, then I'll go to the nearby big vegetable market early tomorrow morning and look around. I'll try to buy all the ingredients and go home to practice for a few more days."

Lin Quansheng was willing to hang out with his good friends from the bottom of his heart, just to not have to worry about anything. Everything was arranged clearly by the couple, and he could just focus on his work and get a high salary without having to worry. So when Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang were racking their brains to perfect the preparations before the opening, he was just heartlessly teasing his niece, as if the excitement here had nothing to do with him.

It wasn't until Lin Nanjiang was ready to put his plan into action that he followed his boss's lead. "Okay, I'll go to the market with you tomorrow morning. But with Suqin's arrangement, our store will have a much richer selection from now on, catering to a wider range of tastes. Business is definitely going to be good."

"Yes, yes." Lin Nanjiang nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with pride and satisfaction of "My wife is so great."

Now that she was here, Liu Suqin felt like something was missing. She paced back and forth in the store, brainstorming, and finally stopped by the cashier. "I think we could put a freezer here. They say Shenzhen only has summer and winter, and winter only lasts a month at most, so sugary drinks and herbal tea are very popular here. We could also sell some cold drinks to go with them. Imagine eating steaming hot fried noodles and fried rice while having a sip of iced soda or herbal tea. Wouldn't it be very refreshing? I could even eat half a bowl of rice."

At this point, Liu Suqin recalled a classic pairing in Cantonese tea restaurants, which later became popular all over the country as tea restaurants proliferated - dry fried beef noodles with ice cola. She decided to add fried rice noodles to the mix if she had the chance.

Well, let’s go to the market with them tomorrow to see if there is any place selling pho.

When Aunt Zhang heard that the store was going to sell herbal tea, she realized that she could be useful and immediately said happily, "I can make herbal tea. I'll teach you when the time comes."

Although Lin Nanjiang and Aunt Zhang didn't spend as much time together as his wife, they were still together day and night. They had already developed feelings for each other, and they were like family. He didn't hesitate and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Aunt Zhang. Let our boss give you a big red envelope tomorrow."

Aunt Zhang smiled happily, but still waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's not a big deal."

The lady boss said generously, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days. Once we open successfully, everyone will receive a big red envelope."

After joking, she took the lead in getting the topic back to business. "The weather is hot, and not everyone likes to drink herbal tea. You can also make some mung bean soup, red bean paste, and white fungus soup yourself, then chill it and sell it in the store. It's simple, delicious, and not expensive."

Lin Nanjiang almost turned into a ruthless nodding machine, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Liu Suqin glanced at the time and finally said, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

It is very convenient to have two bathrooms at home. Although their schedules overlap tonight, there was no fight for the bathroom. While the two men went to wash up, Liu Suqin and Aunt Zhang were wiping Fangfang's body with hot water in the living room. They used a warm towel to wipe the little guy from head to toe, including the spaces between her toes, and then carefully applied powder on her buttocks, armpits, neck and other parts. Finally, she put on clean and soft pajamas, and she became a fresh and fragrant baby again.

The little guy was cleaned up and almost as soon as he was put on the bed, his chubby little face pressed against his beloved lamb doll, and he soon closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, the bathroom was also empty. Liu Suqin said goodbye to Aunt Zhang, "You've been busy all day. You should go back to your room early to take a shower and go to bed. Have a good dream."

When talking about this, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but say happily, "I must have slept very well. Ah Ming's mother said that I was enjoying myself by coming to the city with her. Living in such a nice and spacious room by myself, even the mattress is a Simmons mattress worth hundreds of dollars. I must have sweet dreams every day."

Liu Suqin smiled and said, "It's good to have sweet dreams every day. It means we didn't waste our money."

"No, no, you get what you pay for." Aunt Zhang comforted them, said hello to Lin Nanjiang who had just finished taking a shower, and hurried back to her room. Before leaving, she did not forget to help them close the door. Liu Suqin also took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.

She turned on the shower, took off her clothes, and got ready. The hot water came out. She adjusted the water temperature to a suitable temperature. Then Liu Suqin stood under the shower, feeling the gentle water washing over her body. She couldn't help but sigh with comfort. After more than a year of hard work, she finally lived a modern life.

This day came so slowly, so slowly but so unforgettable that the whole day's experience gave her a feeling of being in another world.

But it doesn't matter. She has already completed the most important goal after her rebirth. From now on, she doesn't have to be so anxious or hard-working. She can work hard to create a better life while slowly enjoying the results of her current life.

So Liu Suqin was not in a hurry at all. She let herself be immersed in the misty water vapor, feeling the warm water flowing down her body, her pores opened, and the lazy and comfortable electric current sliding through her limbs. She put aside all worldly troubles and worries, and just enjoyed the relaxation and pleasure from mind to body at this moment.

It was a long time before Liu Suqin felt it was about time. She turned off the shower, slowly dried her body, and put on the nightgown she had bought to celebrate her move.

She used to live in a rental house, which was small and crowded, with people coming in and out all the time. Liu Suqin wanted to dress herself up, but in the end she only wore loose and casual home clothes, which covered herself tightly while making it convenient to unbutton buttons to breastfeed. The new pajamas she bought later were also long-sleeved and trouser-length, which was a classic suit style. It looked good and looked elegant and generous, but it had nothing to do with femininity.

This time when we moved to a new house, everyone had their own independent space. No one would come to their room for no reason. Even if we needed to find them for something, we had to knock on the door first instead of just pushing the door open at any time.

Liu Suqin can finally wear whatever she wants in her bedroom.

She prepared a black silk suspender nightgown. If she had to leave the bedroom for something and didn't have time to change clothes, she also had a shawl of the same color to cover herself up.

However, in their own master bedroom, there was naturally no need to cover up. Liu Suqin was dressed coolly, with her long, inky hair draped behind her. She came out of the bathroom quietly and lightly, her light and soft slippers making almost no sound as she stepped on the floor.

But Lin Nanjiang had been leaning against the bedside waiting for a long time, from being energetic to drowsy. He wanted to prick up his ears to pay attention to the movement in the bathroom, and the slight click of the door handle did not escape his eyes at all.

When Lin Nanjiang saw his wife coming out, he immediately looked up. The next second, his sleepy eyes opened as wide as possible, his pupils trembling, "Wife..."

Liu Suqin raised her eyebrows. In her heart, she was actually very satisfied with his reaction, but she refused to say anything. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why don't you go to bed first?"

Lin Nanjiang only saw his wife's red lips opening and closing in a black halter dress that made her skin look even whiter than snow. His soul almost ran away with her, and his eyes wanted to stick to her. As for what his wife said?

I can't hear it at all.

His gaze followed her like a shadow, watching Liu Suqin gently lift her waist-length hair, sit in front of the dressing table, open various bottles and jars and start applying makeup.

The dressing table is next to the balcony, on the same level as the bed. From Lin Nanjiang's perspective, he can appreciate her carefully maintained profile and the beautiful unobstructed part of her chest, from a perspective that seems to be about to be revealed but not yet, and sometimes appears and disappears.

So Lin Nanjiang could see that as she skillfully tilted her head back and smeared the cream, her chest swayed with the movement, as if she had a pair of naughty big white rabbits, swaying and jumping there. The person involved seemed unaware, but the pair of big white rabbits jumped straight into his heart.

Lin Nanjiang suddenly straightened his body, and his lower abdomen tightened.

He didn't intend to do anything at first. He leaned against the head of the bed and waited for his wife to take a shower. He was not sleepy yet and thought that it was late at night and it was a good time for the couple to snuggle together and talk, expressing their excitement about finally living in their own house in the big city. If they were in love, they could also kiss and be affectionate, and then there would be nothing else.

It’s so late today and I’m so tired. I have to get up early tomorrow. Lin Nanjiang really doesn’t plan to exercise anymore.

But if you don’t react at all in this situation, you are not a normal man.

Lin Nanjiang believes that he is not only normal, but also young and strong. At this moment, the arrow is on the string. Not to mention that he just needs to get up early tomorrow, even if he has to get stabbed tomorrow, it will not affect his ability to fight with his wife who exudes an alluring scent for three hundred rounds tonight.

The unprecedented visual stimulation, coupled with the excessive excitement he had been experiencing today, made Lin Nanjiang seem to have turned back into that inexperienced young man. He was easily ignited and could not even wait for Liu Suqin to finish her skin care. He could no longer restrain himself and got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked forward, putting his arms around the slender waist that had been haunting him. Then he bent down and covered her soft and slender back, like two pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly. His furry head also arched restlessly against her slender neck, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Wife, you smell so good."

Liu Suqin: ...

Yes, but not necessary.

They weren't newlyweds anymore, so why were they still so vulnerable to teasing? Liu Suqin felt disgusted in her heart, but her body was honest and didn't show any sign of rejection. She just wanted to welcome him but refused him. "Why are you suddenly so sticky? Get away. I just took a shower, don't cover me up with sweat... Ugh, what are you doing? You have to get up early tomorrow, stop messing around..."

After that, Liu Suqin's mouth was blocked tightly and she couldn't make any sound.

Lin Nanjiang said nothing, but just went straight ahead. The dressing table he carefully selected for his wife became part of their play. Of course, the Simmons bed he bought at a huge expense was not neglected either. Every aspect was taken care of.
