Lin Yuan has been away at the training base for closed training for the past few days and hasn't been home for two weeks.

More than a month later, when he returned, he was overjoyed to hear that An'an had become Teacher Geng's student and had begun to formally study painting.

Teacher Geng was also very famous in the army. Two of his leaders were particularly fond of Teacher Geng's paintings, and they never expected that their own sons would become the teacher's last disciple.

Teacher Geng is actually known as a painter in the industry, but he is a low-key person and loves education, which is why he has been teaching at the Fifth Primary School.

Therefore, on Sunday, Lin Yuan personally accompanied his mother-in-law to take his son to painting class, and paid a visit to Teacher Geng as An An's father.

After learning that he was a soldier and An'an's father, Teacher Geng specially spent half an hour receiving him.

At the same time, he suggested to Lin Yuan that An An's name could be changed to Lin Hong An.

He said that An'an's talent deserves a future filled with lofty ambitions and a bright future, and that the name Yong'an is too plain for An'an.

Following Teacher Geng's advice, Lin Yuan went home and discussed it with Zhao Huanhuan and the four elders before going to the police station to change her son's name to Lin Hong'an.

In ancient times, many children were given names by their teachers after they started studying, based on their intelligence.

Therefore, the whole family was able to accept changing An'an's name.

An'an himself didn't care. After all, he used to hear people call him An'an. Almost no one ever called him Yong'an.

And so, from then on, An'an's name on her household registration became Lin Hong'an.

The school also helped him correct his records when he re-enrolled.

...

In the spring of 1980, Tao Gang, the village's brigade leader, came to Yuancheng and found the Zhao couple. He said that next month, the commune would be dividing the land among its members and implementing individual contracting, and asked if they could go back and get some land.

The current plan is for each person to be allocated one acre of land.

The Lin family now only has the elderly couple's household registration left. Lin Yuan, Zhao Huanhuan, and An'an's household registrations are no longer in the village, so they are not entitled to land.

Uncle Lin and Aunt Chu discussed it. Uncle Lin said he would go back and divide it up, but they wouldn't have time to go back and plant it. If anyone wanted to contract it, the brigade leader could help him inquire. It wouldn't cost money; they would just give them some of the sesame and other green plants grown in the fields in the fall.

Tao Gang agreed, knowing someone would definitely take care of it.

Some families are all adults and able-bodied, and the few acres allocated to them may not be enough to cultivate.

Tao Gang stayed at the Lin family's house for two days. Uncle Lin took him around Yuancheng for two days to see what Yuancheng looked like now.

Since the reform and opening up began last year, the original city has also started to move, with old houses on the streets being demolished or renovated.

Some houses were demolished to make way for shops, while others were built as apartment buildings.

With the policy in place, various departments are now more willing to let capable people start working hard, responding to the policy of letting some people get rich first!

Tao Gang also learned that the Lin couple had arrived, and with Zhao Huanhuan's help, he opened a small shop, praising Lin Yuan's wife for her ability.

The Zhao couple also invited Tao Gang to their home for a meal.

Lin Yuan even had a drink with him that night and inquired about the current situation in the village.

They also learned that the primary school was doing well, the educated youth had all gone back, and now Tao Shize had become the principal of the primary school. Lin Yuan said that Shize had the ability.

In the summer of 1980, Zhao Huanhuan took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Textile University as she wished.

During the summer vacation, she rented another shop and opened her first clothing store.

She bought the clothes wholesale in Shanghai. The money for her first purchase was pooled together by both sets of parents, plus two thousand yuan that Lin Yuan brought back for her. With her own savings, Zhao Huanhuan took more than six thousand yuan to Shanghai and brought back her first batch of goods.

Zhao Huanhuan had never been to a wholesale market in Shanghai before, but after going there, she realized how cheap clothes were when she bought them and how much profit she could make when she resold them.

Moreover, she sold it for two or three yuan less than the price in the department store.

In this era, denim clothing has begun to be fashionable, including tops with pants, overalls, denim skirts and denim shirts, and jeans are mostly straight-leg with flared jeans as a secondary option.

People who dare to wear bell-bottoms out are generally quite fashionable. A white shirt, flared jeans, and permed hair are the most stylish look at this time of year.

Zhao Huanhuan dressed like this when she started university, but she didn't perm her hair because the school didn't allow it.

They don't care what clothes you wear.

Zhao Huanhuan wears clothes sold in her own store. Whatever she wears becomes a hit at school, and her store's business has been exceptionally good since it opened.

Zhao Huanhuan's shop sells a wide variety of styles, and she only sources the most fashionable designs.

The store is called Fashion Circle Clothing Store. When she is in class, her mother, Zhang Jinhua, helps her look after the store, and she has also set a salary for her mother.

Zhang Jinhua was playing with her, so her mother accepted the gift. Later, she bought food, drinks, and toys for her grandson, and eventually they returned to their home.

She would even pay Zhao Huanhuan when she needed to purchase goods.

Zhao Huanhuan is a lucky person. Her husband is a soldier who is busy with his career all day. When he has free time, he goes home to be with his wife and children and unconditionally supports and loves his wife.

She has a smart son, Lin Hong'an, who is now a well-known young painter at the Fifth Elementary School. His teachers and classmates all know that he is Teacher Geng's last disciple.

When the National Day holiday came in the fall, Zhao Huanhuan went to Shanghai again to buy goods. This time, she brought back a lot of snow jackets and coats with lamb wool collars, as well as denim jackets with lamb wool linings, which looked very warm.

She also stocked up on a few leather jackets to test sales, but since they were relatively expensive, she didn't order many. Additionally, the first-generation down jackets had also appeared, and Zhao Huanhuan stocked up on some as well. She believed that once she wore them and walked around the school a few times, they would definitely sell out quickly in her store.

Zhao Huanhuan is quite confident in the results of her modeling.

She is beautiful, with fair skin, a good figure, and always dresses fashionably. She has even grown a little taller in the last two years. Every time she walks on campus, she gets a lot of attention.

If I didn't know her son was already in elementary school, I'd know that the boys pursuing her at school could form a whole football team.

It was when Lin Yuan, dressed in military uniform, picked her up from school that everyone realized she was really married and her husband was a soldier.

Military marriages, who dares to interfere?

By then, those suitors who didn't believe she was really married finally gave up completely.

National Day is also the busiest time for Lin Yuan, so her mother-in-law accompanied her to Shanghai to purchase goods, leaving the small shop to Lin's uncle to manage alone.

Zhao Huanhuan took the opportunity to spend two days in Shanghai with her before going to buy goods and returning home.
