The next day, He Wenlin and the others got up at 6:30.

Yang Gangyong arrived by car at 7:30 after having breakfast.

Several people loaded the things they needed to prepare for setting up a stall onto the car, and before eight o'clock, they all went into the city together.

At this time, the county town wasn't crowded, and He Wenlin led everyone to quickly set up their stall.

"Then, Mr. He, I'll head back now?"

Yang Gangyong has to go back to Shaoxing today, and he will go back to his hometown tomorrow.

"Okay, drive carefully on the road, and call us when you arrive to let us know you've arrived safely."

"Thank you, and I wish Mr. He all the best in his business. See you next year."

See you next year.

When they heard Yang Gangyong call He Wenlin "Little Boss He", Luo Guodong and Luo Yumei thought their younger sister was amazing and so cool!

"Linlin, you're amazing! I want to be CEO Luo someday!" Luo Yumei said.

He Wenlin smiled and said, "Is it possible that you will become Director Luo, Bureau Chief Luo, or County Magistrate Luo in the future?"

Luo Yumei's father is a government employee, and her second uncle is even more powerful—he's currently the Minister of the United Front Work Department and a future county magistrate!

So in their past lives, after graduating from university, the brother went to the Labor Bureau and the sister went to the Transportation Bureau, and they did quite well.

Luo Yumei thought about it carefully: "It seems like calling me Director Luo wouldn't be bad."

"Get to work, Director Sister."

"Okay, rich lady."

...

By 9:30, there were noticeably more people on the street.

He Wenlin's stall was packed with people before the Lunar New Year.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, everyone worked more smoothly and cooperated better today.

Around 1:30 pm, they finally relaxed a little, as it was lunchtime.

He Wenlin also went to a nearby stall and bought five servings of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), five servings of steamed dumplings, and a dozen bottles of Taizi milk.

There were six of them, but considering that the boys had bigger appetites, they bought extra food so that everyone would be full.

"Everyone, just grab a quick bite for lunch. Once we've sold out, we'll have a proper celebration," He Wenlin said as she handed out the food.

It was already late, and everyone was starving, so they started wolfing down their food.

"Linlin, Shanshan."

While they were eating, He Wenlin unexpectedly ran into He Qian.

Because of He Xing, He Wenlin's relationship with He Qian became somewhat complicated. Later, He Qian returned to her hometown after the summer vacation, while He Wenlin stayed in Shaoxing. The two never contacted each other again.

"Long time no see, shopping."

"Hmm, is this your stall?"

“Yes, do you want to buy anything? It’s very cheap. Socks here are five yuan a pair, buy one get one free. Undershirts are thirty-one pieces, buy one get one free. Camisoles are fifteen yuan for two pieces…” He Wenlin introduced to her.

He Qian was also surprised when she heard the price, and then she started picking out items at the stall.

In the end, I chose four pairs of socks, four camisoles, and two base layers, which cost me eighty yuan.

He Wenlin was surprised that He Qian had so much pocket money now. In this day and age, if a rural child had ten yuan on him, he was considered a tycoon. She spent eighty yuan without batting an eye, which could only mean that her family was making money!

He Wenlin packed her things and said, "Here's a pack of perfume and a pair of socks for you."

He Qian was flattered: "Thank you, I thought... I thought we weren't friends anymore."

But He Shan was unhappy.

She wasn't afraid of offending anyone, and said directly to He Qian's face, "Linlin, why did you give her perfume and socks?"

"She bought a lot, and we grew up together. It's just a pair of socks. It's an adult matter, it has nothing to do with her. Alright, alright, get back to work, we have guests."

He Qian was still young. Her father didn't let her work, so what could a little girl like her do?

She might even be unhappy, as she's missing out on a chance to earn pocket money.

At this point, the number of people increased again.

Everyone was too busy to care about these things, and they started working like they were fighting a war again.

This afternoon, I also met several villagers who saw He Wenlin and others setting up a stall here. The goods were of good quality and inexpensive, so they spent money to buy some.

However, today these two deliberately gave me a dollar or two less, saying they didn't have any change.

This behavior is really unpleasant, but since they're all from the same village, He Wenlin really can't go after him for a dollar or two.

However, He Wenlin didn't give these two people anything. When other villagers came to buy things, He Wenlin would give them a bag of perfume or something. Since they deliberately paid less, He Wenlin would never give them anything again.

Business was exceptionally good today; we've sold almost all the goods we brought, except for the old-fashioned coats.

Today I brought twelve men's and twelve women's coats for seniors, and I still have half left.

The best-selling items are socks and base layers. We only have a few pairs of socks left today, base layers are sold out, but we still have about twenty tank tops and a few thermal underwear left.

Yang Gangyong drove the car back to Shaocheng, but He's father hadn't brought the van back yet, so He Wenlin and the others had to take the bus back to their hometown.

“We won’t take the stools and bed boards back with us. I have a big brother in my hometown who runs a wholesale business in the market. We’ll leave the stools at his place.”

Originally, He Wenlin had a car to pick her up and drop her off, so Luo Yumei didn't suggest leaving the things there. Now that she doesn't have a car, it's more convenient to leave them here.

Luo Yumei, along with He Wenlin and others, carried the remaining goods, benches, and other items toward her neighbor's large shop.

"Sir, we have some things here with you. We'll come pick them up around eight o'clock tomorrow morning," Luo Yumei said.

"Okay, put it in that corner over there."

"Thank you so much, sir."

"Thank you so much, sir."

"Thank you for your help, sir. I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth."

...

He Wenlin and the others were all incredibly sweet-talking, making the man beam with delight.

This man runs a wholesale store; the small shops in the villages basically get their goods from him.

He Wenlin took out fifty yuan and led them to buy a bunch of snacks, such as spicy strips, sachima, spicy chips, milk candy, cat ears, jelly, etc.

They're still kids, how can they not crave snacks?

The market was crowded, and He Wenlin was suddenly touched: "What are you doing?"

The young, blond-haired guy, feeling guilty, asked, "What? What do you mean?"

Then he turned and left.

"Linlin, what's wrong?" Luo Guodong asked.

He Wenlin sensed something was wrong, as if someone was watching them. She lowered her voice and said to everyone, "Keep an eye on the bags around your waists, buy what you need, and let's go quickly."

He Wenlin felt that the blond-haired man wasn't touching her because he was lustful, but because he wanted to touch the mobile phone in her pocket!

There are many people in the market, and a lot of pickpockets.

He Wenlin had heard many stories of people having their wallets stolen here, so she was very cautious when doing business here.

They sold goods all afternoon yesterday and have been selling here all day today. It's impossible for them not to be watched, especially since they're so young—they're the easiest targets!
