Mr. He quickly put the money away. It wasn't easy for him to save up his money.

We arrived in town at 9:45. My family was celebrating the early New Year, so we left a little late.

But it's no use being too early, there won't be many people on the street.

They set up their stall at the busiest intersection, and once the stall was set up, Mr. He went home.

He Wenlin, along with He Wenhua and He Wenjun, started selling goods.

He Wenlin and He Wenjun have a wealth of experience in setting up stalls and promoting their products, but business was only so-so in the morning.

Business was pretty good starting at noon, but by 4:30 pm, the stock was running low, so He Wenlin simply packed up and went home.

They didn't have He's father pick them up when they got back; they took a minibus home by themselves.

It was already 5:45 when we got off the bus.

"Linlin, boss, you're always so busy, you don't even get a proper rest during the New Year."

When I got off the bus, I ran into He Wenqin, the child of He Wenlin's cousin. She was also the older sister who came to pay New Year's visits last year and said she wanted to go out with her, but she didn't end up going out with her.

I heard that he went to the north to work with his classmates.

"Sister Qin, when did you get back?" He Wenlin asked her.

“I came back at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month,” He Wenqin said. “I heard that everyone who went out with you in the first lunar month this year has made a fortune. They all bought houses and cars. After the New Year, I’m going out with you too. Boss Linlin, take me to make money and fly high!”

"It's all just hearsay. How could he have bought a house or a car?" He Wenlin laughed. "Ask my older brother if he owns a house or a car."

He Wenhua laughed: "I wish I could. I can't even afford a motorcycle, let alone a house. If I prop my pillow up a bit tonight, maybe I can even afford a plane."

"Don't be modest, I'm not borrowing money from you." He Wenqin joked, "It's all over the village, saying that Linlin, you're making a fortune, making money hand over fist, buying more than a dozen houses, and your brother, Shanshan and Lingzi, are also getting rich. Lingzi has opened a shop and earns several thousand a day."

"More than a dozen houses? The rumors are getting more and more outrageous." He Wenlin laughed. "I don't know how much Lingzi earns a day from her night market stall, but it's definitely not as exaggerated as several thousand."

"Then I'll go with you, will you take me?"

“If you’re willing, then go ahead. There’s work to be had. Of course, if you want to make a lot of money and get rich, I don’t have that ability,” He Wenlin said. “It’s getting late, we should go back first. We’ll talk again when you come to visit us for the New Year tomorrow.”

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."
