Chapter 207 Buying a car, opening a dance hall

Yang Caiyun was also smart. Since they had broken up anyway, she could just put all the bad reputation on Xu Hongguang.

After dating for two years, if you ask her if she loves this guy, she definitely does, after all, they have slept together before. But compared to love, the clothing store and money are more important to her.

She wants the shop, not the people.

Yang Caiyun re-tidied the store, restocked a new batch of goods, explained the situation to her neighbors, and started crying as she spoke.

"I didn't even know he was married. If I had known I would never have talked about it."

“I talked to him for two years…”

Seeing the little girl crying and not sounding like she was lying, the neighbors all believed her. In fact, it didn’t matter whether they believed it or not, they just wanted to watch for fun.

The shop for the dance hall was rented, and Lin Shuyin and Salen hired someone to renovate it.

Their dance hall is quite big, over 3,000 square meters.

The renovation will take half a year, estimated to be completed around June next year.

Time soon came to the end of Leon.

The end of the year is approaching and the Chinese New Year is coming.

This year we didn’t have the New Year’s Eve dinner at home, but at a hotel, namely Shen’s Xiaochao, Big Brother Shen’s own restaurant. Because in addition to their own family’s New Year’s Eve dinner, Big Brother Shen and Yang Caijie also prepared a New Year’s Eve dinner for the employees.

Eat at noon.

After everyone finishes eating, they go home.

Lin Shuyin did not invite her employees to a New Year's Eve dinner because her family has too many stores and employees from each store were invited, so she just gave out red envelopes directly.

If they eat in a hotel, Lin Shuyin and others don't have to cook, as there are professionals in the kitchen.

She chatted with Yang Caijie, the proprietress.

"Boss lady, let me tell you something."

As they were chatting, an old lady came over. She must be the hotel's kitchen staff. Yang Caijie said to Lin Shuyin, "My dishwasher is Aunt Zhang."

Lin Shuyin nodded. Aunt Zhang glanced at Lin Shuyin. Yang Caijie asked, "What's wrong, Aunt Zhang?"

Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Shuyin and Yang Caijie, "This is my sister-in-law, tell her what you want to say."

Aunt Zhang considered her words carefully, "Boss lady, please pay attention to Feng Guilan."

Feng Guilan is another auntie who washes dishes.

You can’t call her aunt, because she is younger than her, around 30 years old, about the same age as her younger siblings.

Yang Caijie asked, "What's wrong? Is she not doing a good job?"

Feng Guilan is new here, she has only been here a month. She has been in the kitchen and she works very hard.

Aunt Zhang, "She chats too much with the boss."

Yang Caijie smiled, "There are only a few people in the kitchen, let's chat."

Aunt Zhang looked at Yang Caijie and said, "Boss, you didn't understand what I meant. I felt that the way she looked at the boss was not right. This era is not like the past."

"That man has some money, and the mistresses and concubines rely on him. Feng Guilan is divorced and has no man."

Lin Shuyin understood, and she said to Yang Caijie, "Sister-in-law, Aunt Zhang wants you to pay attention to her, and then you can also give Big Brother a lesson."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "As expected of a college student, you understood it as soon as you heard it. Your sister-in-law just thinks too simply of people."

"I have lived for so many years and I am very good at judging people."

She noticed that something was wrong with Feng Guilan. She put on makeup and lipstick every day. If you were working in the front hall, you could show it to the guests and look energetic. But if you are washing dishes in the back kitchen, who are you showing it to?

She also had intentional or unintentional contact with the boss, and the clothes she wore were all chest-wrapped and buttock-covering.

Those who don’t know her would think she is the boss’s wife because she is so charming.

Yang Caijie smiled and said, "I understand, Aunt Zhang, thank you for your reminder."

Aunt Zhang, "Well, you should be careful. Don't think that men won't look for women at this age. As long as a man wants to, he will look for a woman even when he is 80, unless he is hanging on the wall."

Yang Caijie burst into laughter after hearing this.

Aunt Zhang: "This is such a heartless person."

"Okay, I've warned you, just be more careful."

Aunt Zhang glanced at Yang Caijie and went into the kitchen.

Lin Shuyin reminded, "Sister-in-law, stop laughing. Aunt Zhang is right."

Although Brother Shen has acceptable character, he has been set up by a demon. Even if he fails to get promoted, he can still cause trouble for you.

Yang Caijie said, "Don't worry, my dear sister-in-law. Your elder brother is not that kind of person. He is not interested in these things."

Lin Shuyin, "Anyway, you should be more careful and have a sense of crisis. The situation is different now than before."

Yang Caijie, "I know, I know."

When having the New Year's Eve dinner at noon, Lin Shuyin saw Feng Guilan, the girl Aunt Zhang described as having a tight chest and a buttocks. Aunt Zhang was right.

She wore a blue tight sweater on her upper body and red tight pants on her lower body, the kind with slightly flared bottoms that outlined her figure very well.

Then she tied her hair behind her ears, put pearl powder on her face, which made it a little pale, so she should use less, and put bright red lipstick on her lips.

She seemed very enthusiastic. She talked to Shen Guannan, Lin Jianshe, and every man present. Of course, Lin Jianshe talked to Shen Guannan the most.

"Hey, sit on this stool."

I brought a chair with a backrest to Lin Jianshe. Lin Jianshe,

"Thank you, sis."

Feng Guilan exclaimed, "You're in your thirties and you call me sister. I feel like we're about the same age."

Sarin, "He is 35, how old are you?"

This woman is a bit annoying.

Feng Guilan heard this and said, "Then you shouldn't call me sister. I'm only 34 this year, and I won't be 35 until the Chinese New Year tomorrow."

Yang Caijie said, "Sister Feng, are you going to sit down or not? Are you still chatting? I don't want to eat anymore."

Feng Guilan, "Eat, boss lady, I am younger than you, why do you always call me sister?"

Yang Caijie smiled and said, "I'm used to it. Sit down and eat."

The main reason is that the aunties who used to wash dishes in the kitchen were older than her, so she always called them "sister", using surname + sister, that's it.

Salen pinched Lin Jianshe's waist and whispered,

"You seemed to be having a good time just now."

Lin Jianshe looked at him begging for mercy, "I am innocent, my wife!"

Sarin snorted.

Shen Guannan was sitting next to Lin Jianshe. After seeing the reactions of Salen and Lin Jianshe, he looked at Lin Shuyin. Lin Shuyin was showing off her meal because she was hungry.

He put it into his mouth one bite after another.

Seeing Shen Guannan looking at her, Lin Shuyin raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Guannan whispered, "Wife, you have never been jealous of me."

Lin Shuyin, "Jealous"

Shen Guannan nodded. Lin Shuyin took the vinegar bottle on the table and poured some into the spoon. She asked Shen Guannan to open his mouth and said, "Be jealous."

Shen Guannan was really nervous, and then drank the small spoonful of vinegar.

Lin Shuyin was stunned. She reached out and touched his forehead.

Shen Guannan took her hand away and took a sip of the drink.

Muttering, "It's so sour"

Lin Shuyin, "Yes, it is vinegar, why do you drink it?"

Shen Guannan, "You feed me."

Lin Shuyin, "Just drink it when I feed you, idiot."

Shen Guannan, "Wife, am I getting old?"

Lin Shuyin felt that Shen Guannan's uncle had come, and she was a little sensitive. She said, "Husband, everyone will get old. When you get old, I will get old too."

"What's the big deal?"

"Don't think too much."

Shen Guannan, "Don't dislike me when I'm old."

"How could that be? I love you the most."

Lin Shuyin held his hand with her left hand and picked up the chopsticks with her right hand to pick up the food. "Ah, open your mouth."

Shen Guannan opened his mouth and ate.

She didn't know when her staff officer Shen started to have age anxiety.

Brother Shen, who was sitting opposite Shen Guannan, saw this scene. He whispered to Yang Caijie, "Look at Shuyin Guannan."

Yang Caijie took a look and asked, "What's wrong?"

Brother Shen, "You've never fed me."

Yang Caijie, "Oh my god, you still need me to feed you. You are a child, and you can't move."

"I'll just give you a dish. Eat it quickly. I'm hungry."

Brother Shen: "...Okay."

We all drank some wine at the New Year's Eve dinner.

Shen Guannan was drunk and kept calling "wife-in-law" and "daughter-in-law" all the way.

Lin Shuyin and Siyu carried him along, Siyu muttered,

"Dad drank a little too much today."

Lin Shuyin, "Your dad is drunk."

Shen Guannan lowered his head and said, "I'm not drunk, wife."

Whatever the drunk man said, Lin Shuyin followed him.

"Yes, yes, you didn't."

Shen Guannan snorted, "You are so fierce."

"Ha ha ha ha. "

Siyu couldn't help laughing. Her father was a little funny. Shen Guannan tilted his head and said, "Are you my daughter?"

"How did you grow so big?"

Si Yu is already 1.7 meters tall.

"You used to be so small that Dad could hold you in one hand and your mom in the other."

Si Yu, "Dad, I'm already sixteen during the Chinese New Year."

Shen Guannan turned his head and said to Lin Shuyin, "Wife, our daughter is growing up too fast."

Lin Shuyin: "Yes, it has grown this big in the blink of an eye."

She didn't believe this before. Old people often said that children grow up quickly and grow up in the blink of an eye. Now she thinks it is true. Although she and her husband did not miss their daughter's childhood, it passed one year after another.

From kindergarten to elementary school, from elementary school to junior high school, now you are all high school students, and after graduating from high school you will go to college.

When children reach college age, they become adults.

"Si Yu, do you want any gift for your eighteenth birthday?" Lin Shuyin asked.

Si Yu, "I don't have a birthday party for my 18th birthday yet. Can I tell you when I think of one?"

Lin Shuyin, "Okay, but you have to tell me a year in advance so your dad and I can prepare for you."

Si Yu nodded, "I understand."

Lin Shuyin felt that men would trigger their emotional skills when they reached a certain age, especially after drinking. When they returned home and lay on the bed, Lin Shuyin wanted to sleep, but Shen Guannan would not let her.

He kept talking to her, starting from the time they met on the train, "Wife, time flies. When I think back to the days we spent in Hohhot, it feels like it was just yesterday, but it's already been ten years."

Yes, it’s been ten years. They came to Beijing in 1978.

This year is 1988, which is just ten years.

Lin Shuyin, "Your daughter is already in high school."

Shen Guannan smiled foolishly, "I can't hold you two anymore, my wife, I feel you have gained weight. I remember you were so thin before. When I held you before, I felt like I was holding a ball of cotton."

Lin Shuyin pinched his lips, "What's wrong now? You feel like a rock."

Shen Guannan took her hand away and smiled, "No, it's like silk, a little heavier."

Lin Shuyin exclaimed, "Counselor Shen is still quite sweet."

Shen Guannan tilted his head and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

Lin Shuyin smiled and said, "Then give it a try."

...........

The next day was New Year’s Day.

It was cold outside, so Lin Shuyin said to the father and daughter, "Let's buy a car this year."

"It's so cold in winter without a car."

Shen Guannan, "Buy it, wife, buy that Santana."

Si Yu, "How much does it cost?"

Lin Shuyin: "180,000."

Si Yu clicked his tongue, "Too expensive."

Lin Shuyin: "These are all imported from abroad, so they are expensive. Our domestic automobile industry has not yet developed."

"Once our country develops, it will probably be cheaper."

Si Yu asked, "How much cheaper can it be? At least tens of thousands, right?"

Lin Shuyin: "Probably. After all, a car is a big thing."

Shen Guannan, "My wife, before you buy a car, you have to get a driver's license."

Lin Shuyin, "I know. I will take the exam after the Chinese New Year."

She has passed the driving test and has driven a car, but so many years have passed and the cars nowadays are different from those in the future, so she needs to take the test seriously.

The group arrived at Mr. and Mrs. Shen's home, first wished them a happy new year, and then gave them red envelopes.

As the economy develops and grows, the red envelopes that Mr. and Mrs. Shen give to their grandchildren increase year by year.

One, two, ten, twenty.

This year, each of them is fifty.

There are more kinds of fruits on the table. In the past, there were apples and oranges, but this year there are bananas, grapes, apples, oranges, and raisins.

This is considered dried fruit.

Lin Shuyin loves to eat melon seeds, but to prevent her front teeth from becoming an inverted V shape like her sister-in-law Yang Caijie, she peels them by hand.

Lin Shuyin, "Brother and sister-in-law, are you planning to buy a car?"

"Buying a car"

Yang Caijie and Shen Hebin were both surprised.

Lin Shuyin, "Yes, buying a car will make it more convenient to go out."

Shen Hebin, "That car is not cheap, it costs hundreds of thousands."

Yang Caijie, "Why are you planning to buy it?"

Shen Guannan: "I have this idea."

Yang Caijie said, "You have a lot of savings, so you can buy a car. But if we want to buy a car, our savings will be exhausted."

Lin Shuyin laughed, "Sister-in-law, it's the same for everyone. My family is the same. We ran out of savings just by buying a car."

"So I'm still hesitating. I haven't made up my mind yet."

Shen Hebin smiled, "You two can buy it. Buying a car is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other."

Lin Shuyin thought for a moment and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, you can actually buy a car, one with a box in the back to carry goods. Your hotel will need it."

"That kind of truck is cheaper than a car. You can buy it for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan."

Shen Hebin exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, 70,000 or 80,000 is not cheap."

Lin Shuyin, "Brother, what I mean is that it is cheaper than a car, which costs hundreds of thousands."

Yang Caijie was moved by Lin Shuyin's words, "Boss, can we really buy a truck?"

"You see, when you go to the market to buy vegetables, you ride a tricycle."

Shen Hebin, "Why do you dislike my tricycle? My tricycle is pretty good, small and light."

Yang Caijie, "You should be obedient when it rains or snows."

That's right. It's more troublesome to use a tricycle on rainy or snowy days. It's okay on snowy days, but on rainy days, it becomes a chicken in the soup.

Shen Guannan, "Brother, you can buy a truck."

"A truck can be used to transport people and goods, so it is very useful."

Lin Shuyin, "I want to buy what you said, too. We need it for our western restaurant."

Their western-style restaurant is also run by a tricycle.

Shen Guannan, "You'll be so happy if you buy Li Xiangdong."

Lin Shuyin, "I'll wait until my dance hall opens to see how profitable it is. If it makes a lot of money, I'll buy one. If it doesn't, I'll just take it."

"What do you mean, sister-in-law, are you going to open another store?" Shen Hebin asked.

Lin Shuyin, "Saren and I are planning to open a dance hall together."

Yang Caijie, "What is a dance hall? A place for dancing?"

Lin Shuyin, "There are private rooms on the second floor for singing and dancing on the first floor. When it opens, you will know when you go and take a look, sister-in-law."

Yang Caijie said, "Okay."

The New Year passed quickly, and Lin Shuyin was going to take a driving test. He called Brother Shen, Lin Jianshe and Salin to come along, and the four of them took the test together.

Because Lin Shuyin had taken the test in her previous life, although there were some differences, it was basically the same, and she got her driver's license in two months.

The three of them were convinced. Shen Hebin said, "My sister-in-law is awesome!"

Sarin, "Shuyin, you are indeed the best. You are the best in everything you do."

Lin Jianshe, "That's right, my sister was born before me."

His sister is awesome!

Lin Shuyin waved the driver's license in her hand and said, "Come on, guys. I'm going to buy a car first."

Shen Guannan also thinks his wife is great!

Learning to drive can be this fast.

The two of them went to pick up a red Santana.

Lin Shuyin was heartbroken after losing 180,000 yuan, but she felt happy again when she saw the big group of people in front of her.

Siyu, "Mom, can you take me to school tomorrow?"

Lin Shuyin: “No problem.”

Shen Guannan, "Then my wife, send me to the army the day after tomorrow."

"OK."

These one by one.

Having a car is still very cool, especially if it is red. Driving on the road, you will get a lot of attention.

Today, Shen Siyu, this big friend, also earned enough return rate.

Lin Shuyin drove her to the school gate, then rolled down the window to say goodbye to her.

"Si Yu Si Yu, who was the person who sent you here just now?"

Classmate Si Yu asked.

They knew that Siyu's father was in the army, and sometimes Siyu would come over in a military vehicle, but today it was a private car.

Siyu looked at the school gate and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Classmate, "Your mother, did your family buy a car?"

Si Yu: "Yeah, I bought one."

My classmates were immediately envious.

Lin Shuyin drove to school and also attracted some attention.

"Oh my, who is this?"

Xu Yan was making a lot of noise.

Lin Shuyin wore sunglasses today to show off, turning into a fashion queen. She took off her glasses and smiled, "It's me!"

"Director Lin, have you bought a car?" other teachers in the office asked.

Lin Shuyin smiled and said, "I bought one."

"Oh my god, you are such a rich man, how much is that car?"

A teacher said, "A Santana costs 180,000 yuan."

Even if my colleagues don’t buy a car, they know the price of the car.

After hearing the price, everyone gasped. Director Lin’s family is rich. Not just ordinary rich.

I bought a car for 180,000 yuan just like that.

It's convenient to go anywhere with a car.

I send my daughter to school in the morning and pick her up from school at noon.

The next day, Staff Officer Shen was sent to the troops.

On the third weekend, I took my family for a ride.

It let Mr. and Mrs. Shen experience the feeling of riding in a sedan, which was really nice.

Father Shen and Mother Shen muttered, "The third son's wife is really amazing."

Shen's mother said, "I didn't expect that she could drive a car, and she drives very well and very steadily."

"I heard from Hebin that he, Shuyin, Jianshe, and Sarin went to take the driving test, and Shuyin was the first to get his license."

Father Shen, "The provincial champion has a good brain."

Shen's mother said, "This child is the one who does great things quietly."

The second daughter-in-law is not as noisy as the eldest daughter-in-law. She is steady, speaks steadily, her voice is neither too high nor too low, and does things steadily.

Do it quietly.

In mid-June, Lin Shuyin and Salen completed the renovation of their dance hall and planned to open it in early July.

Now we are tidying up and then trying to open the business.

Of course, we also did some publicity.

So much so that it was packed on the first day of trial operation.

On the first day of trial operation, Lin Shuyin took Shen Guannan to dance. Shen Guannan couldn't stand it, "Wife, the light is so bright that it hurts my eyes."

He doesn't like this environment.

Lin Shuyin brought him out, along with Lin Jianshe and Salin. Lin Jianshe said to Salin, "This place doesn't seem like a good place. So men and women, couples, that's fine."

"They are not married, but they dance like that."

Sarin, "That's how you dance. Your bodies aren't pressed together. There's a lot of space in between."

"Besides, those who come here must be couples or singles, or they are young couples. And women can dance too."

Lin Jianshe, "I can't dance. I went home. It's painful to watch."

Shen Guannan: "I feel bad too, so I'm going home too."

Lin Shuyin and Sarin said, "Then you go back first, we will be back later."

The two nodded, walked a few steps and then stepped back. Lin Jianshe said to Salen, "Wife, you are not allowed to dance with others."

Sarin nodded, "No, no, I will dance with Shuyin."

Lin Jianshe: “Yeah.”

Shen Guannan looked at Lin Shuyin, and his eyes expressed the same idea. Lin Shuyin walked over and said, "I won't dance with others. I want to dance with Sarin."

"Yeah," Shen Guannan nodded.

The two of them left.

As bosses, they had no time to dance. They adjusted the music for the customers and went upstairs to check on the situation in the store.

Early July.

The dance hall was officially opened. Looking at the room full of people and the people queuing outside the door, Saran felt as if RMB was pouring into her pocket. How much money did that cost?

The dance hall opened with great success, better than they had expected.

Just wait until the end of the month to calculate the final accounts.

It was this weekend, around 2pm.

Brother Shen came over. Lin Shuyin was a little surprised. "Brother, why are you here?"

Brother Shen glanced at Lin Shuyin and said, "Sister-in-law!"

Lin Shuyin, "Ah, what's wrong?"

He walked in, and Shen Guannan was there too, "Brother."

Brother Shen sat down and looked at Lin Shuyin, "Sister-in-law!"

Lin Shuyin, "What's up, brother?"

"Ever since your dance hall opened, your sister-in-law has been going there to dance every day. There is never a day that she misses." There was resentment in his tone.

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Sister-in-law likes dancing, so you can go after get off work, brother."

Brother Shen, "I don't like going there. The flashing lights make me uncomfortable."

Lin Shuyin: "My sister-in-law went with Yongjing and the others, right?"

Brother Shen, "Yes, they came at the appointed time, and they were all dressed up like peacocks spreading their feathers."

"I haven't seen them dress up so hard even during the Chinese New Year."

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Brother, is this what you came here to talk about today?"

Brother Shen didn't want to admit it, but that was why he came. Lin Shuyin said, "Brother, I run a shop and I can't close it."

Brother Shen, "I know."

"Shuyin, can you please talk to your sister-in-law and ask her not to go? She got angry when I told her about it."

Shen Guannan, "Brother, you have to speak for yourself. What do you want my wife to say?"

Lin Shuyin, "I think my sister-in-law is just a temporary novelty and won't go there in a few days."

Brother Shen, "She gets fresher and fresher as time goes by."

"Okay, I'll talk to my sister-in-law in the evening."

"Brother, let me get you a popsicle to help you calm down." Lin Shuyin stood up and got the popsicle.

Elder Brother Shen quietly asked Shen Guannan, "Your sister-in-law isn't going?"

Shen Guannan, "She didn't go there to dance, she went to inspect the store."

Shen Hebin, "How do you know not to jump?"

Shen Guannan, "I went to see it with Jianshe. She and Salin are the bosses. They didn't jump."

Shen Hebin, "Your sister-in-law is dancing. She said she's dancing with Yongjing or Lanying."

Shen Guannan, "Then what are you worried about?"

Shen Hebin, "When she goes to that dance hall, I get nervous and uncomfortable. I don't want her to go. What if she dances with a man?"

Shen Guannan, "Then talk to your sister-in-law."

Shen Hebin, "She won't listen to me no matter what I say."

Shen Guannan, "The tone you usually use when you speak"

Shen Hebin nodded. Shen Guannan said, "No, you have to... act coquettishly. Do you understand what I mean by acting coquettishly?"

Shen Hebin was shocked. "You want me, a grown man, to act like a spoiled child?"

Shen Guannan, "I am taller than you, and I can act coquettishly, why can't you?"

Brother Shen, "......"

Lin Shuyin took three popsicles, one for each of them.

It’s not easy to ask in front of his brother and sister-in-law. Big Brother Shen is a little anxious. Shen Guannan, “My wife Siyu said she wants to eat watermelon. Can you go buy some?”

Lin Shuyin stood up and said, "Okay, do you want to eat anything? I'll buy it all."

Shen Guannan, "Then bring me a roast chicken."

Lin Shuyin: “OK.”

Shen Guannan smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Lin."

Lin Shuyin smiled, took her wallet and went out.

Brother Shen was stunned. "Are you two always so polite when talking to each other?"

Shen Guannan, "How can I be polite?"

Brother Shen, "Can I buy that thing you just mentioned? You're just being polite."

Shen Guannan, "I wasn't being polite, I was just being coquettish."

Brother Shen was puzzled, "Do you mean being polite is acting coquettishly?"

Shen Guannan shook his head, "No, brother, if you hadn't said this, I would have hugged my wife and said it in a softer tone."

Brother Shen touched his nose and said, "So what you mean is, I told your sister-in-law not to go to the dance hall anymore."

Shen Guannan, "What do you usually say?"

Brother Shen, "I'm asking you to stop going there. I don't care if you go to the store every day!"

Shen Guannan, "You are so fierce. No wonder my sister-in-law wanted to go. She thought you didn't let her go so that she could run the store."

Brother Shen felt aggrieved. "She runs the store and does the work, but I am also busy. I cook in the kitchen every day."

"She can still dance to relieve her fatigue, but I can't do anything all day, so I was born in the kitchen."

Shen Guannan, "Do you listen to me or do it your own way?"

Brother Shen, "I'll listen to you."

Shen Guannan, "This is how you two usually talk. Are you sure you're going today?"

"Then the sister-in-law's answer was, go ahead."

"Are you angry again at this time?"

Brother Shen nodded. Shen Guannan said, "You are wrong. You should have said, can my wife not go today?"

"Remember, keep your tone soft."

Brother Shen, "Your sister-in-law will ask me what's the matter"
