After buying the van, the motorcycle was put on hold for the time being.
He Wenlin told her father to take the van out for a drive whenever he had free time, as the Lunar New Year was approaching and he would be driving it home for the holiday.
However, He's father is a novice driver and cannot drive on the highway alone. He Wenlin plans to have He Shan's father come along. He's father has had his driver's license for a year and is quite skilled at driving in the road maintenance team. They can take turns driving together, which will be perfect.
Having just bought a car, He's father was in high spirits. Without He Wenlin even having to say anything, he would drive around everywhere, picking up and dropping off He Wenlin and He's mother every day.
Mr. He is smart and has a good mentality. When he first bought the car and drove it home, he drove very slowly. After driving Mrs. He and He Wenlin to and from school for two or three days in a row, he became quite proficient.
Time flies, and it's already the fifteenth of January. The Lunar New Year is almost here, just nine days away.
He Wenlin is going back to her hometown ahead of schedule, so she is now starting the handover process.
First, a meeting of their own people was held. Attendees included He Wenlin, He's parents, He's grandmother, younger brother He Wenjun, second brother He Wenjun, He Shan, Lin Fei, Tang Kai, and Auntie who was absent due to work.
"The College of Arts and Sciences has already started its holiday, and Hongrui should be sending people home for the New Year one after another. Store No. 2 is not busy anymore. Second Brother, send out a notice today that Store No. 2 will start its holiday the day after tomorrow and is expected to reopen around the twelfth day of the first lunar month. We will also send out the New Year's goods for the breakfast shop and Store No. 2 employees the day after tomorrow."
As for Caijiangcun Fast Food Restaurant, it can start its holiday on the 19th. All factories were notified in advance, and the employees' New Year's gifts will be distributed the day after tomorrow.
The food factory's holiday will be later; based on current orders, they expect to close around the 21st or 22nd. So, Grandma, my younger brother, my second older brother, Shanshan, and I will go back first. We'll leave on the 18th. Mom and Dad, the rest of you can leave around the 21st.
"What about the breakfast shop? Should we keep it open?" Aunt He asked.
“The breakfast shop will only be closed on the first, second and third days of the Lunar New Year,” He Wenlin said. “It will also be open on New Year’s Eve. I have already spoken with Tang Xiaolian and we will only sell glutinous rice balls, steamed dumplings and xiaolongbao on that day.”
"Can this person be trusted?" Old Mrs. He was a little worried. "Won't he empty the shop?"
"It's not necessary to empty the store. Actually, everyone is fine, so don't worry. Also, Shanshan, you need to take inventory of the store's contents the day after tomorrow so we have a clear idea of what's going on."
"Okay." He Shan wrote down what she needed to do.
Mr. He: "Are you going back first? Are you taking the train? Or should Yang Gangyong take you?"
“I’ve said before that I’m going to buy a car by the end of the year and make a big splash. I wasn’t just saying that for fun.”
Second Brother's eyes widened: "Linlin, your food factory is now even in the supply and marketing supermarket. Isn't that a big undertaking?"
He Wenlin smiled and said, "Second brother, you're too easily satisfied. Partnering with the supply and marketing cooperative wasn't actually in my plans for this year. What I meant by 'making a big splash' was going back to my hometown..."
Why go back to your hometown?
As soon as the second brother finished speaking, Old Lady He slapped him on the head: "Stop interrupting! Can't you listen to your sister?"
"What things sell well during the Chinese New Year? Do you know?" He Wenlin asked.
Little brother Wenjun answered quickly, "I know, bubble gum, cola, and toy guns! Sis, buy me a water gun, I got a perfect score on my test, reward your cute little brother!"
He Wenlin laughed and said, "Okay, I'll buy it for you."
"Wow! I love my older sister the most!"
Mr. He frowned deeply: "Are you really going to buy shoes and clothes to sell back home?"
He Wenlin had mentioned this to her father before, so he remembered what she wanted to do.
"Shoes and clothes sell well during the Spring Festival," said Grandma He. "Everyone buys new clothes for their children during the Spring Festival."
He Wenlin said, "So I plan to buy a batch of goods to take back to my hometown. Anyway, there are ready-made vehicles. Second Brother, Shanshan, Fei Ge, do you want to join us? If you invest money, you will get a share of the profits based on your investment. If you don't want to invest money and want to be more secure, then you can go back and help me with the work. We need people to sell the goods and collect money. I will pay you wages. You can consider it."
"No need to think about it, sis, I'm betting, I'm going all in, all my money!" He Wenjun said without hesitation.
“Then I’ll go all in,” He Shan said.
Lin Fei hesitated a bit. He was really reluctant to go all in, but seeing that his two friends had gone all in, he felt it would be embarrassing not to go all in as well, so he gritted his teeth and went all in as well.
He Wenlin laughed and said, "You all went all in, you're so bold, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
He Shan: "If I lose money, I lose money. Anyway, I'm still young."
Second brother: "The worst that can happen is we can start all over again!"
He Wenlin looked at Tang Kai: "Xiao Kai, what about you? Do you want to join in?"
Tang Kai scratched his head sheepishly: "I don't have any money on me. I'll have to ask my dad."
Since what happened to Tang Kai last time, he hasn't been able to find a hundred yuan on him. His salary is in his father's hands, and the money from selling slow-moving tours is in his aunt's hands.
“This is a big deal because the money you invested is not a small amount. You should all go back and tell your parents that I’m leaving for Sijiqing tomorrow afternoon to buy goods. Discuss it and give me the results as soon as possible.”
He Wenlin wanted to make money with them, and her friends were good, but she was worried that if they lost money, their parents would object.
"I don't need to ask anymore. If I lose, I lose. I'm so young, I can always turn things around if I don't die. I'll take a gamble, what if I turn a bicycle into a motorcycle?"
The second brother had a mysterious confidence in He Wenlin.
He Wenlin calculated a share for her second brother, but she wasn't very optimistic about Tang Kai, Lin Fei, and Shan Shan's side, especially Tang Kai.
