"The reactions of those two people just now were kind of funny."
Lin Yanwan couldn't help but laugh when she recalled Shen Ying and Wang Ming's embarrassed expressions earlier.
"It would be strange if two people who like each other weren't nervous on their first secret date," Jiang Xia said.
"For example, if someone asks me to go to the movies for the first time, and I get so nervous that my palms are sweaty?"
"Really? I seem to remember it was your sweat."
"Pah! It was clearly you!"
Lin Yanwan wrinkled her nose. She suddenly felt that Jiang Xia was more adorable back then. He would blush if she joked with him. Unlike now, even if she grabbed his weak spot, he would only shamelessly ask her to go faster.
"Do you think Wang Ming will confess to Shen Ying on the Ferris wheel?" Lin Yanwan looked up at the Ferris wheel not far away. At this moment, there were countless couples confessing their love and kissing on it.
"I don't know."
Jiang Xia sighed. Although he had been encouraging Lao Wang to confess bravely, it was hard to say what would happen to Wang Ming, especially after he had already been rejected by Shen Ying. He was even more afraid of failing.
"There's no need to rush their relationship; let things take their natural course," he said.
After all, ambiguity can't last forever. Just like with Lin Yanwan, two people who have feelings for each other will unknowingly end up together.
"That's true."
My sister-in-law, who was playing on the slide, suddenly ran over and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm thirsty during the Xiaoman solar term."
"What would you like to drink, Xiaoman?" Jiang Xia asked with a smile.
For some reason, the sister-in-law thought of the ice cream she had seen Wang Ming eat before, and her mouth started to water.
"Ice cream!"
"Xiaoman, eating ice cream in winter will give you diarrhea."
"No, no, Xiaoman wants ice cream!"
"Okay, let's go buy some. After we have ice cream, your brother-in-law will take you to do something exciting!"
"Huh? Is it fun?"
"Of course it's fun!"
Watching her brother-in-law and sister-in-law walk further and further away, Lin Yanwan's eyes revealed a deep sense of helplessness.
As the sun began to set, the young couple leisurely took Xiaoman home. Strangely enough, after encountering Wang Ming and Shen Ying on the Ferris wheel, they hadn't seen them again for the rest of the afternoon.
Jiang Xia strongly suspected that the two of them probably went straight to the movie after riding the Ferris wheel.
We can't possibly lose the ability to book a hotel room, can we?
Old Wang probably doesn't have the guts.
Back home, Ji Wanqiu was cooking a delicious meal in the kitchen. When she saw the three of them, she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Xiaoman, was the amusement park fun?"
"Mmm! There were so many people at the amusement park today, lots and lots of kids the same age as Xiaoman." Xiaoman nodded vigorously. "We rode the Ferris wheel, and my brother-in-law took me on the roller coaster. Lots of kids were crying, but Xiaoman didn't cry."
"Xiaoman is amazing," Ji Wanqiu praised.
"Mom, Xiaoman sweated a lot today. She needs to take a shower quickly so she doesn't catch a cold," Jiang Xia called out to the kitchen.
"Then hurry up and go." Ji Wanqiu nodded.
"Can I ask my brother-in-law to help me take a bath?" The sister-in-law looked at Jiang Xia with anticipation.
Lin Yanwan said with a dark face, "No, you're all grown up now. You have to take a bath yourself! I'll go find you some clothes."
We can't keep this little sister!
“Since you’re all grown up now, why do you still need your brother-in-law to help you with your washing?” Xiaoman argued vehemently.
Lin Yanwan quickly covered her sister's mouth. Her face instantly burned, and she subconsciously glanced into the kitchen, hoping that her mother hadn't heard what she had just said.
"If you keep talking nonsense, your brother-in-law and I will never speak to you again! And don't even think about going to the amusement park again!" she said, her face flushed.
"Waaah, my sister is threatening Xiaoman again. Xiaoman will just go wash herself." The sister-in-law pouted and cried.
"Don't you dare say such things again, do you hear me!" She tapped her sister's head.
"Waaah, Xiaoman knows."
"Go take a bath, I'll get you your clothes."
Lin Yanwan suddenly thought of something and continued with a smile, "If you really don't want to take a bath yourself, I can use a steel wool pad to help you. Don't worry, a steel wool pad can even scrub away stubborn stains, so scrubbing will definitely be a breeze~"
Lin Xiaoman: っД)っ
Using a steel wool pad would probably scrub off the skin, wouldn't it? At that moment, Lin Xiaoman suddenly felt that her sister was terrifying.
"No...no need, sister, Xiaoman can...can take a bath by herself." She swallowed nervously.
"Then why aren't you going yet?"
Xiaoman dashed into the bathroom in a flash.
"Why did you scare her on purpose?" Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"Hmph, let's teach her a lesson so she won't think she can say anything."
Lin Yanwan gave a soft hum and went to her sister's room to find her a change of clothes. Jiang Xia, having nothing better to do, took Yuyuan, who was sleeping in the cat's bed, out and made it do abdominal exercises.
Ji Wanqiu washed a few green dates and brought them out. Jiang Xia looked around and asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"
“Something came up at the factory, and he went to handle it,” Ji Wanqiu said.
"oh oh."
"Xiaxia, have dinner here tonight too. I'll call your mom later to let her know."
Jiang Xia hesitated slightly before nodding. He was willing to sleep there that night, let alone have dinner, as long as his mother-in-law said so. It would be best if he and Lin Yan could sleep together that night.
We ate leftovers from lunch for dinner. It was just past seven o'clock, and my sister-in-law ran to the TV to watch the latest episode of Tom and Jerry. (Reading...)
At the dinner table, Lin Gaoyuan asked Jiang Xia a question.
"What should I do first if I want to develop Gaoyuan Toys into Gaoyuan Group?"
Although he profited from the popularity of the Tom and Jerry cartoon and made a lot of money from related traffic, he is essentially still the owner of a small private factory. His vision may only be limited to a province or city. If he wants to look at the whole country, this level of knowledge may not be enough.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Dad, I don't understand the toy industry, but I do understand one thing: if you want to make big money, you have to invest first. In my opinion, the production lines of Gaoyuan Toys are still too few and cannot meet the needs of the national market at all. Even if they operate in three shifts, running at full capacity 24 hours a day, the production capacity cannot be increased in a short period of time."
"So, you want me to add a few more production lines?" Lin Gaoyuan frowned.
"That's a reasonable understanding for now, but in the later stages, product diversification is essential. For example, I want my dad's toy factory to be able to make racing cars and robots. No matter what kind of peripheral products I release later, Gaoyuan Toys can produce the finished product immediately."
Jiang Xia thought for two seconds and said seriously, "Of course, a toy factory doesn't need to be able to handle the entire industry. Many things can be outsourced. Let me take toy racing cars as an example. Components like motors can be directly supplied by downstream manufacturers. In any case, as long as the final product is made by Takahara Toys, it can be considered our own product."
Upon hearing this, Lin Gaoyuan's eyes lit up immediately.
