Lin Lu - a Kyoto University student with a promising future.
Song Chen - a military officer with a bright future.
Due to a life-saving grace, the two were forced to marry and have child...
Lin Lu asked: "Do you want to eat outside, or do you want to go home and eat?"
Lin Jingbei thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat skewers."
When they were in their hometown, the three of them would often go to that restaurant to eat barbecue when picking up Lin Lu from school. Now thinking about those days, it seems like a long time ago.
Although he is used to the food in Shanghai, Lin Jingbei still prefers the taste of his hometown.
Song Chen: "Let's go and look for it."
I'm not very familiar with the area around their school, so I wonder if there are any skewers for sale here.
Lin Jingbei: "I know where it is."
This shop is much better than the hastily built shed in my hometown. The shop is clean and tidy. Maybe it's too late now, there is no customer in the shop.
Experience tells Song Chen that even in places where there are no customers, the food might not be good.
He looked at his son and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lin Jingbei: "Well, my deskmate said their skewers are delicious."
The family of three sat down and the waiter came with the menu.
Song Chen also knew the preferences of his two ancestors, so he quickly ticked the boxes and handed the menu to the waiter after ordering.
"Please hurry up."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Lin Lu wiped the table with the paper towel on the table. She was being pretentious and had to wipe it again even if it was clean before she could feel at ease.
Song Chen was concerned about his son: "How are you? Are you tired?"
As he spoke, he poured each of the ancestors a cup of tea.
Lin Jingbei: "I'm not tired. Professor Han is very good. It's very interesting to listen to his lectures."
Song Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Lu, as if asking if this child was normal?
Lin Jingbei saw the amusement in his father's eyes.
"Just like you like to open a factory, there's nothing difficult to understand."
Song Chen: "Are you confident you can get a ranking?"
Lin Jingbei simply said, "No, there are many people from all over the country who are better than me participating. I might not even make it past the preliminary round."
"You're quite modest. But since you're attending the training camp and studying so late every day, don't you have time to learn stock trading from your master?"
Song Chen didn't care much about his studies, and didn't know how far he had progressed.
Lin Jingbei: "Yes, I will take lessons twice a week at my master's house on weekends."
Gu Yun has already started to train him, and Lin Jingbei's small treasury is already considerable.
Everyone in the family is busy with their own careers.
After the skewers were served, Song Chen first gave Lin Lu her favorite beef skewers.
Lin Jingbei felt that his father was deliberately showing off his affection in front of him, so he ordered three more drinks.
Because Lin Lu had to be careful about what she ate, she only took a bite of everything, and the rest was all eaten by Song Chen. The same went for the drinks. She only took a sip to satisfy her craving, and the rest went into Song Chen's stomach.
Lin Jingbei paid for the meal, and Song Chen didn't even think of arguing with him.
The three of them took the bus back. Seeing that Grandpa had also come over, Lin Jingbei happily offered them the skewers he had packed: "Grandpa and Grandma, I brought these for you."
Lin Changchun was still overwhelmed with emotion after learning from Li Xianglian about his family's sudden wealth, and he didn't even respond when his eldest grandson called him.
"What's wrong with my grandfather?" Lin Jingbei was curious.
Li Xianglian: "Don't worry about him, he's having too much fun."
The three of them, grandfather and grandson, were talking outside. Song Chen hadn't seen his wife for several days, so he quietly pulled her back to the room to talk intimately.
They were already an old married couple, but he still pressed Lin Lu: "Do you miss me?"
Lin Lu just wanted to roll her eyes at him.
"Brother, I really think you have a talent for acting. You act like you're in a TV drama all day long. Whether you love me or not, I love you so much. What old couple would act like this with you? How about I sign you up for a competition? You might actually get picked to act in a TV drama."
Song Chen clamped the back of her neck with his big hand and gritted his teeth: "You are making fun of me. Ah, this is called being passionate about life and always loving my lover deeply."
Lin Lu was tired from walking and yawned: "Honestly, aren't you tired after sitting in the car for so many days?"
Song Chen tilted his head and looked at her: "I'm tired, but didn't you say on the phone that you wanted me to warm the bed? I'm back now, let's start." He opened his arms towards Lin Lu.
Lin Lu hissed, "Keep your voice down, there are people outside. You don't care about your dignity."
Song Chen stared at her, squinting his eyes and smiling: "I haven't said anything yet, why are you speaking so quietly?"
The night is bright and the mood is ambiguous.
…
After Boss Song came back, he continued to check the progress of his supermarket.
The house is almost completely renovated, and the blueprints were drawn up by a design company. The location is in the city center, and the rent is shockingly high.
Song Chen planned to sell the house once the demolition money came in.
When Lin Lu was not in class, she would go with him to see the place. It was very large and spacious.
Of course, our boss Song has studied for so long, made some friends, and learned some business experience.
I heard that supermarkets for rich people now have a membership system, which means that when paying, you don’t just take out the money, but first load money into the card and then swipe the card after shopping.
Song Chen observed and analyzed this consumption method and felt that it could indeed stimulate consumption better than paying cash.
Counting money one by one makes people conceptualize money, while swiping a card only virtualizes money and regards it as a number.
Song Chen shared his discovery with Lin Lu.
Lin Lu praised: "You are really smart."
In addition, he often took Lin Lu to some high-consumption places, under the pretext of observing and understanding the market situation. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Consumers are God but also enemies that need to be conquered.
His main consumers are the middle class and wealthy people, so he needs to understand their consumption habits.
However, Boss Song's generosity and his desire to give his wife everything led to an increasing number of luxury goods in the house, and he spent money dozens of times faster than before.
You know what, after using things from big brands, Lin Lu really feels that their high prices have a reason.
At the same time, Li Xianglian's stall was also set up.
But Lin Lu still miscalculated, because she still had to get up early every day to buy ingredients, but now she had Lin Changchun by her side and could worry less.
She prepared breakfast for Lin Jingbei in the morning, watched him go to school, then went out to buy ingredients, and came back to start making snacks.
Now the kitchen at home has been completely occupied by her.
Lin Lu was also thinking about renovating the house over there as soon as possible and moving there. There were more rooms there, and she could even leave a room specifically for making snacks.
In order to make snacks, Li Xianglian opened up her own small treasury to buy all the equipment, but spent it all. It was so painful.
Lin Lu wanted to support her but she refused.
After the snacks were ready, she and Lin Changchun pushed a cart to the school gate to sell them in the afternoon.
Since it was difficult to get on the bus with the car, they walked there. It took about 40 minutes, which they thought was just right.
In the afternoon, Lin Jingbei came here to help serve for a few minutes after school and dinner. It was during these few minutes that a small advertisement was given and all the items were sold out in half an hour.
