"What are you laughing at? Speak properly."

Suddenly, Xu Fengjiao glanced at Wang Haoran with displeasure and said.

"You guys don't know this! There's only one in the entire department store. The sales assistant said it's the JC-01 slim pocket radio, a new model developed by Nantong Radio Factory this year. It's still a trial sale sample, and there's only one in the whole department store. It's probably because the price is too high, so I managed to snag it."

After hearing Lin Yunfeng and Lin Qing's questions, Wang Haoran proudly introduced that he could already imagine how everyone would be envious if he took out his radio when school started.

"How much did you buy it for?"

Lu Xianghong asked curiously.

"It's not too much, 270 yuan."

Wang Haoran said proudly.

"This isn't even expensive! It's six or seven times more expensive."

Lu Xianghong clicked her tongue and said with a reluctant expression, "Haoran is really willing to spend money. Fengjiao is the same. She doesn't even say anything to him. With that money, she might as well save it to buy a house!"

"Sister Xiang Hong, don't mind him, he just loves to be taken advantage of."

Lu Xianghong was feeling the pinch of the money when Xu Fengjiao suddenly patted her shoulder and said with a smile.

"That's right. In a few months, when this thing becomes more common, it definitely won't be so expensive!"

Lin Qing smiled and echoed.

“You all don’t understand. In a few months, it will be cheaper. Can it compare to now? Right now, this is the only one of its kind.”

Wang Haoran shook his head helplessly. "Sigh, these people don't understand my thoughts at all."

"Yes, we don't understand. Is it worth spending so much more money just for a little vanity?"

Suddenly, Chen Bin made a pointed remark.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. Chen Bin was right; to put it bluntly, Wang Haoran was just vain and wanted to show off.

"You...you...really, I'm not talking to you anymore."

"Hahaha……"

"By the way, Qingqing, didn't you say you wanted to study fashion design? I saw you bought a lot of books today, are there any related to that?" Xu Fengjiao turned to ask Lin Qing.

"No, these books are basically unavailable on the market now. I bought some basic drawing books and plan to learn by myself first."

Lin Qing shook her head and said with a smile.

"Okay, then study hard. Once you've learned it, I can help you with it."

Lu Xianghong added with a smile that although she can't design, she is very good at making clothes! And she also enjoys making clothes.

"That's great! To be honest, I do have some ideas. Maybe we can even cooperate in the future."

Lin Qing said excitedly that she originally wanted to do skincare, but doing clothing would be nice too, since she is quite interested in clothing now, and maybe they could create their own brand!

"What kind of collaboration?" Gu Nanxun asked curiously.

"Xiang Hong and I plan to collaborate on clothing design; I will design, and she will make."

Lin Qing explained with a smile.

"That's a good idea, you can give it a try," Gu Nanxun suggested.

"The food is here, the food is here." The waiter's voice interrupted everyone's conversation, and one after another, fragrant dishes were brought to the table.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Zhao Xi's eyes lit up, and she reached out to grab the roast duck roll.

"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you." Lin Yunfeng smiled and put a piece of roast duck on Zhao Xi's plate.

Everyone started eating, savoring Bianyifang's signature roast duck and other snacks. The roast duck had crispy skin and tender meat, with a rich, savory sauce. Paired with the salty and savory Beijing-style shredded pork and the smooth texture of the fried sauce noodles, everyone enjoyed the meal immensely.

"It's so delicious, it truly lives up to its reputation." Xu Fengjiao praised as she ate.

"Right? Right? I told you this roast duck was especially delicious!"

Zhao Xi excitedly echoed, a dark soy sauce stain still visible around her mouth.

"Yes, you're right. We'll pack a few more to take back later so that Mom and Dad and the kids can try them too."

Lin Yunfeng reached out and wiped the sauce stains from Zhao Xi's mouth, then smiled and echoed his sentiment.

"Didn't we say we were going to get Quanjude food to go?" Zhao Xi's mouth was full of food. She nodded hurriedly, but then asked in confusion.

"There are so many people in your family! You can pack food for both families."

Lin Qing said with a smile.

"Third Brother, you can drive back after dinner! Qingqing and I have some things to do, so we won't be going back with you."

Gu Nanxun finally seized the opportunity and quickly spoke.

Lin Qing glanced at Gu Nanxun with a puzzled look, but did not refute his words and nodded in agreement.

"How about we leave the car with you and Xixi and I take the bus back?"

Lin Yunfeng suggested.

"No need, Third Brother, you drive back. There's plenty of stuff in the car, including food. Qingqing and I won't take anything; we'll just take the bus."

Gu Nanxun shook his head and said with a smile.

"Oh, Fourth Brother, you should just drive! It's more convenient to drive wherever you're going. I'll take you back in a bit."

Wang Haoran mumbled incoherently as he ate the roast duck in his mouth.

"Can your car fit six people?

Lin Qing said doubtfully.

"Oh, what's the big deal? Just squeeze in. There are two in front and four in the back. It'll be fine if you squeeze in. If not, let Third Brother carry Third Sister-in-law."

Wang Haoran waved his hand confidently and said, "Let alone six people, adding two more wouldn't be a problem. We can just hug each other."

"Alright! It's settled then."

Gu Nanxun nodded in agreement.

Lin Qing smiled and nodded upon hearing this. She had misunderstood. There was no such thing as overloading now. As long as the car could fit, no one cared how many people were in it.

As lunch was nearing its end, Gu Nanxun went out to settle the bill and ordered two roast ducks to go from another restaurant.

"I've already paid for the meal. I've packed two roast ducks for each of you. Enjoy your meal. Qingqing and I will be leaving now."

As soon as Gu Nanxun returned, he addressed everyone.

"Alright, Fourth Brother, you guys go ahead! Be careful on the road!"

Chen Chen nodded, then said seriously.

The others also nodded and said goodbye to Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun.

"Brother Nanxun, where are you taking me?"

As soon as Lin Qing stepped out of Bianyifang, she asked Gu Nanxun curiously.

"Shh...it's a secret, don't ask, come with me!"

After saying that, Gu Nanxun took Lin Qing's hand, opened the car door, and invited Lin Qing to get in.

Lin Qing smiled and shook her head, not asking any further questions, and simply sat in the passenger seat.

The capital city at this time was completely different from that of later generations. Lin Qing had not been to the capital city much in his later years, so he was not familiar with it.

The car swayed and bumped along for about an hour before finally coming to a stop in front of a vermilion gate.
