Lin Qing teased Zhao Xi with a smile, her eyes full of laughter.

"We've almost finished packing up already. Yunfeng and I are quick on our feet! We don't plan to do the rest yet. We'll take our time when school starts. Anyway, there's no rush to move now."

Zhao Xi smiled a little shyly, then changed the subject, "By the way, Qingqing, why are you so happy today? Did something good happen?"

Lin Qing looked around to make sure the children were playing and wouldn't notice their conversation, then lowered her voice and said excitedly, "We bought two shops today, and Nanxun and I also went to see a house in Xiaotangshan. It's amazing! The house is huge, and there's a mountain on it, plus the price is just right. Nanxun and I have already bought it."

"Wow, that's great!"

Zhao Xi was also very happy to hear this. Although she didn't know why Qingqing was so obsessed with the house, she was still happy for Qingqing.

"Yes, I've already started imagining what it will be like for my family to soak in a hot spring in winter." Lin Qing's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Then can we go there more often? I haven't been up the mountain in ages."

Zhao Xi asked excitedly. She had been in Beijing for more than half a year, and she still missed the mountains of Heilongjiang Province. When she heard Lin Qing say that there were mountains in Xiaotangshan, she couldn't help but be tempted.

"Going up the mountain should be fine, but the house probably won't work. It's been uninhabited for a long time, so it would need to be cleaned up properly before anyone could stay there. But if you want to go up the mountain, we can go together for a day another time."

Lin Qing answered with a smile.

"Great! Let's go play tomorrow!" Zhao Xi said eagerly.

"Pfft..."

Hearing Zhao Xi's words, Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Why do you always jump to conclusions? We still have to build the playground for the children tomorrow! Let's do it later! I want to get the shops ready first! If I have time, I'd like to take a trip to the South during the summer vacation."

"The South? What are you going to the South for?"

Zhao Xi asked, puzzled.

"Didn't I buy two shops today? I can't just let them sit idle. I'm going to the south to take a look and buy some wholesale goods to sell back home."

Lin Qing explained with a smile.

"Hmm, that's good, but are there any in the south?"

After hearing Lin Qing's words, Zhao Xi nodded in agreement, but then asked with concern.

"There probably is! They're developing much faster than we are here. Even if there isn't, we should still go and see for ourselves. Even if there isn't, it'll be a good opportunity to broaden our horizons!"

Lin Qing said with a smile that she knew there must be some in the south, but she couldn't say.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The children are hungry, let's go eat."

Lin Qing glanced at the sky and reminded Zhao Xi.

"Yes, yes, Mom asked me to call you for dinner, but I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot."

Zhao Xi nodded quickly, then turned and called out to the children, "Kids, dinner's ready!"

Upon hearing Zhao Xi's call, the children stopped playing their games and excitedly ran towards the restaurant.

Lin Qing and Zhao Xi followed the children toward the dining room. The table was already laden with a sumptuous feast, and Dong Xiulan and Gu Bei were setting out the bowls and chopsticks.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Qing said, seeing Dong Xiulan's busy figure.

"It's alright, please sit down, you must be hungry!" Dong Xiulan replied with a smile.

"We're back just in time for dinner!"

Just as everyone was about to sit down, they heard Lin Yunfeng's voice. Turning around, they saw Lin Yunfeng and Lin Jianguo walking in from outside.

"Hmm, perfect timing. Quick... go wash your hands and eat."

Dong Xiulan replied with a smile.

After washing their hands, the two of them sat down at the dining table with everyone to eat.

"Grandma, Grandma... Daddy said he's going to build us an amusement park tomorrow!"

At the dinner table, Gu Ziyao couldn't help but boast to Dong Xiulan.

"Build an amusement park? What kind of amusement park? What is that?"

After hearing Gu Ziyao's words, Dong Xiulan asked in confusion.

"It's swings, slides... things that little kids play on."

Lin Qing explained with a smile.

Dong Xiulan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Then Nanxun doesn't need to go to the factory tomorrow. I'll take care of things there!"

Lin Jianguo suggested with a smile.

Gu Nanxun nodded upon hearing this, "Then I'll trouble you, Dad. I'll have Gu Bei go with you tomorrow."

Gu Nanxun suggested that Gu Bei go along. It wasn't that he didn't trust Lin Jianguo, but that it would be easier for him to understand the progress if Gu Bei went.

"OK!"

Lin Jianguo nodded in agreement.

The children excitedly discussed the upcoming amusement park, while the adults chatted about everyday things, creating a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.

During the meal, Lin Qing told Dong Xiulan and Lin Jianguo about the two shops she had bought that day and the house in Xiaotangshan.

"Qingqing, why did you buy so many houses?"

Dong Xiulan asked in confusion.

"Investing! Money just sits around and loses value over time. Buying a house is a form of investment, since houses are bound to appreciate in value in the future. I'm also planning to buy some shops, rent them all out, and then I won't need to work; the rent alone will be enough to live on every month!"

Lin Qing explained with a smile.

"You're just daydreaming! Whether you can actually rent it out is another matter!"

Dong Xiulan shook her head, disagreeing, but she was too old to keep up with the times and there were some things she didn't understand, so she wouldn't offer any opinions.

After the meal, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun cleaned up the dishes together, while Zhao Xi took the children for a walk in the garden to help them digest.

As night fell, the family ate fruit and enjoyed the cool air in the yard until the children got sleepy, at which point they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Gu Nanxun got up early and began preparing materials for building the amusement park.

He ordered ready-made materials directly from Taobao and started assembling them in the backyard. By the time Lin Qing, Zhao Xi, and Lin Yunfeng got up, he had already assembled half of them.

"Nanxun, when did you get up?! You're so fast!"

Seeing Gu Nanxun engrossed in his work, Lin Qing stepped forward in surprise and said.

Gu Nanxun smiled but didn't say anything. With Zhao Xi and Lin Yunfeng present, it wasn't convenient for him to tell Lin Qing that he hadn't actually gotten up very early. It was just that the materials were readily available, so the assembly would be quick.

Lin Yunfeng, Lin Qing, and Zhao Xi quickly joined in the assembly. With many hands making light work, the slide was soon assembled.
