"Sister Wang, don't worry about it. Xiao Jin and I are doing fine!"

"I didn't let her down, so don't spread rumors!"

Lin Yifeng certainly did not let Bai Yejin down. He was a seasoned veteran, not a naive 20-year-old who didn't know how to cherish the person in front of him.

How could Lin Yifeng possibly let down such a good girl as Bai Yejin?

If nothing unexpected happens.

He and Bai Yejin will have at least two children.

even...

When Lin Yifeng thought of the child, he couldn't help but think of Bai Yejin's obsession with having children.

If she didn't refuse, Bai Yejin might give birth to four, five, or even six or seven children for her.

"Two or three children are enough."

"Any more and I'll get mentally exhausted."

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng had only two children.

Educating children is a very tiring task, especially for families with some assets.

Lin Yifeng felt that having two or three children would be enough for him.

Seeing that Lin Yifeng hadn't had a conflict with Bai Yejin, Sister Wang breathed a sigh of relief. She then warmly invited Lin Yifeng to dinner, and Lin Yifeng didn't stand on ceremony, smiling as he ate a bowl of rice porridge, cabbage, and steamed buns.

Back in Hebei Vocational University, Lin Yifeng had given Wang Jie and others many favors, so he felt perfectly justified in having a meal with them now.

Prices in 1993 were indeed much higher than in 1992.

A bowl of porridge used to cost five cents, but now it costs eight cents.

Don't underestimate these three cents; for vocational school students, this is already an extra expense.

"Prices have risen, but subsidies for vocational school students have been canceled."

"So, vocational school students, who were once the pride of the 1980s, will soon fall from grace and become dust in history."

"Vocational school students will gradually become synonymous with poor students."

After leaving the cafeteria, Lin Yifeng strode into the Mixue Ice Cream shop at Hebei Vocational University.

It's getting late, and there aren't many customers in the Mixue Ice Cream store.

Hello, what would you like to drink?

The Mixue Ice Cream store has three employees, all of whom are under 25 years old.

Lin Yifeng didn't have much of an impression of the Mixue Ice Cream shop at Hebei Vocational University.

He had already graduated from Hebei Vocational University when the Mixue Ice Cream shop was being renovated.

Later, when Mixue Ice Cream opened, Lin Yifeng didn't even come. He was in his hometown of Paishi Village, where he was in charge of building the Paishi Village Primary School.

If we really want to be precise...

This was his first time visiting the Mixue Ice Cream shop at Hebei Vocational University.

"Give me a bubble tea, please!"

The employees at the Mixue Ice Cream store did not recognize Lin Yifeng; they mistook him for an ordinary college student.

"Would you prefer the instant or boiled type?"

"Boiled or simmered."

"Okay, we only have large cups of our boiled milk tea here, and it's three yuan a cup!"

"OK!"

Would you like any additional ingredients?

"No, thank you!"

The price of milk tea remains the same as it was a year and a half ago, still 3 yuan.

This price is not cheap, and given the current economic situation, Lin Yifeng is unlikely to change the price in the short term.

Lin Yifeng will gradually increase this price after the turn of the millennium.

The staff at Mixue Ice Cream shops are very efficient; a hot bubble tea can be made in less than five minutes.

Holding the milk tea in his hands, Lin Yifeng felt as if the cold winter had been dispelled. Instead of opening the milk tea immediately, he chatted with the employees of the Mixue Ice Cream store.

Why is our shop so quiet lately?

"I remember that at this time of day, the store would never be this empty, if not packed!"

"Yes, the number of customers is obviously not as high as before."

A girl dressed in a Mixue Ice Cream special outfit, with her hair tied in two small braids, answered Lin Yifeng's question while cleaning up the water stains on the table:

"At this time last year, the number of customers was so high that there were long queues outside."

"But since September of this year, the number of students has decreased significantly!"

Another shop assistant sighed softly and chimed in, "Isn't this all because of the subsidies?"

“In the past, vocational school students received a subsidy of 20 yuan per month, which was enough to buy 10 cups of milk tea at our Mixue Ice Cream.”

"As a result, the subsidy was canceled starting in September."

"It's only 20 yuan a month, tell me, how big of an impact is that!"

"I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. This is seriously affecting our profits."

The Mixue Ice Cream shop assistants knew the situation, and Lin Yifeng nodded knowingly as he listened to their conversation.

The subsidy for vocational school students was cancelled this September!

Analyzing this timing, it's clear that the government has introduced a new policy.

"We need to go and ask about it."

Lin Yifeng kept this in mind. He chatted with the staff at Mixue Ice Cream for a few more minutes before leaving Mixue Ice Cream with his milk tea.

Night began to fall.

The sky gradually darkened.

The weather has been terrible lately, and Lin Yifeng can't even see the twinkling stars in the night sky when he walks down the street.

"This winter is a bit too cold!"

Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, Lin Yifeng recalled the Mixue Ice Cream shop at Hebei Vocational College and felt that he needed to add a stove for the employees.

In 1993, Makino City did not have centralized heating.

To ward off the cold, you either need to wear more clothes or light a stove.
