Lu Yang, his skin tanned dark by the sun, grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "It's a bit sunny setting up a stall outside, but I'll recover in a couple of days. I've earned enough money to buy a house!"
Yao Lili punched Lu Yang in the chest: "You said you'd be back in half a month, but it's been a month and a half! We were all so worried!"
Lu Yang hugged her with a touch of heartache: "Go and call my mom for me. We'll go to the state-run restaurant for dinner later."
Yao Lili nodded, greeted Chu Xiangyu, and ran towards the meat processing plant.
"Sister Chu, do you want to keep some stock in the store?"
Lu Yang put his hands on his hips and said wearily.
Chu Xiangyu leaned against the car and said, "Unload those shirts first, and send the rest to my warehouse in the south."
Lu Yang immediately rolled up his sleeves, quickly jumped into the car, pushed the shirt off, disassembled it, and carried it into the store in several trips.
When Yao Lili and Lu's mother arrived, Lu Yang immediately smiled and said, "Mom, Lili, Sister Chu and I are going to the warehouse to deliver goods. You two go to the state-run restaurant and wait for me."
After saying that, she and Chu Xiangyu got into the car and headed straight for the warehouse.
The two didn't drive the truck back because it was too conspicuous, so they called a tricycle to come back.
When they arrived at the state-run restaurant, Yao Lili had already ordered four dishes.
During this time, both Lu Yang and Chu Xiangyu were exhausted and didn't say much to each other. After finishing their meal, Lu Yang immediately went to Yao Lili's warehouse to sleep.
Lu Yang slept for a day and a night, but was eventually woken up by hunger.
When he woke up, he found his mother sitting next to him.
"Mom, is there any water?"
Lu Yang felt his throat was parched and said weakly.
Lu's mother quickly got up to pour him water, and then took out a large bowl of steamed dumplings from the pot and handed it to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang downed a bottle of water in one go and ate the whole bowl of steamed dumplings.
"Why did it take you so long to come back?" Lu's mother choked up, patting Lu Yang's head with heartache: "You've gotten tanned and thinner."
Lu Yang leaned against the wall and smiled smugly, saying, "I was just busy making money and it took me a little longer. Making money is never tiring."
"Guess how much money I made this time?"
Lu's mother looked at him with red eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Chu gave you the money before, and you earned it yourself... three thousand, so you earned a total of four thousand?"
Lu Yang stood up and said with a smile, "After paying the toll along the way, we still have 140,000 left."
Lu's mother shuddered violently and scolded, "Nonsense! Are you out of your mind from exhaustion?"
Lu Yang burst into laughter: "Let's go to the post office tomorrow morning to get the money back. Among the clothes that Sister Chu hasn't sold yet, there are still six thousand yuan worth of my goods."
Lu's mother's eyes widened, her lips trembling: "My God, are you really not joking?"
Lu Yang said earnestly, "Mom, I promised I would give you a good life and make you rich and powerful in the future!"
Lu's mother wiped away her tears, too excited to sleep all night.
Around 8 a.m., Lu Yang took his mother to the post office to withdraw the money.
Lu's mother, standing beside Lu Yang, felt surrounded by bad people, all of whom wanted to steal her son's money.
Lu Yang went to the bank, opened a savings account, deposited 120,000 yuan into it, and said with the remaining 20,000 yuan, "Let's go buy a house."
Lu's mother nodded solemnly. At this moment, in her eyes, Lu Yang was the God of Wealth. She had never seen anyone who could make more money than Lu Yang.
When they arrived at the house with the large yard, they found a sign hanging on the door.
The sign says it costs 9,200, not a penny less!
"Why has the price gone up?"
Lu's mother said with some dissatisfaction.
Lu Yang smiled; in his eyes, there was no difference between seven thousand and nine thousand.
He knocked on the door, and soon the middle-aged man he had seen before came out.
"See that sign by the door? If you can't afford it, don't bother me!"
The middle-aged man clearly recognized Lu Yang and said impatiently.
Lu Yang shook the wad of cash in his hand and said, "I've raised the money, Uncle. Nine thousand two is fine too. If you agree, we'll go and complete the transfer procedures right away!"
The middle-aged man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked Lu Yang up and down and said, "Wait a minute!"
Ten minutes later, the middle-aged man changed his clothes, locked the door, and went with Lu Yang and his mother to complete the property transfer procedures.
The three of them spent a day completing the transfer procedures, and they will receive the property certificate seven working days later.
Lu's mother was incredibly excited; she had never imagined in her life that she would be able to live in a house in the county.
Lu Yang paid the middle-aged man 9,200 yuan. After receiving the money, the middle-aged man said, "I will move out within three days."
"Do you need any help with the move?" Lu Yang asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man waved and left, and Lu Yang and his mother returned to the small warehouse.
During this period, at Yao Lili's insistence, Lu's mother lived with her in the small warehouse.
So Lu Yang waited for Yao Lili to get off work, then took her to a jewelry store.
"Comrade, how much is this bracelet?"
The jewelry in the small town's gold shops doesn't have many styles, but they are all made of pure gold and have a very good luster.
The salesperson glanced down and said, "This is a pair, weighing a total of 21 grams. The bracelet's joint is engraved with a goldfish, making it more intricate than a plain bracelet, so it costs 1,000 yuan."
"Then this is the right one."
Lu Yang took out a thousand yuan and handed it to the salesperson.
The sales clerk's eyes lit up immediately. She took Lu Yang's money and took the bracelet out from under the counter.
Lu Yang picked up a bracelet and put it on Yao Lili's wrist. Yao Lili's eyes lit up, but she quickly came back to her senses.
"No, this bracelet is too expensive!"
She had been silent because she thought Lu Yang was buying it for his mother, but she never expected it was for her.
Lu Yang forcefully grabbed her other hand and put the second bracelet on her as well.
"It's not expensive, and it looks good on you." Lu Yang said gratefully, "I wasn't home, so thank you for taking care of my mom."
Yao Lili touched the bracelet, reluctant to take it off.
"Your boyfriend is so generous," the sales clerk said enviously as she returned with the invoice.
Yao Lili blushed even more, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Lu Yang at all.
Lu Yang patted her shoulder and said, "Take another look at the earrings and necklace, do you like any of them?"
Yao Lili put away the invoice and dragged Lu Yang out, saying, "Why buy it? It's so expensive, and it's not even good for eating or drinking."
Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Whether in her past life or this one, Yao Lili had always been so frugal and thrifty.
In his past life, even if he wanted to buy it for her, he didn't have the means, but now that he has the means, she must have what others have.
With that thought in mind, Lu Yang immediately went to the state-run restaurant, ordered some food, and took it back to eat with his mother.
The next morning, Lu Yang told Chu Xiangyu and went to the warehouse to load his goods onto the truck and headed straight for the provincial capital.
After arriving at the largest square in the provincial capital, he found a corner to set up his stall.
There are many stalls here, and it's very lively with people coming and going.
Lu Yang glanced at the goods and found some from Guangzhou, but the styles weren't as nice as the ones he had brought back.
After setting up his stall, he immediately started shouting: "New arrivals from the port city! Autumn clothes are here! Tops and pants are all 21 yuan each, short jackets are 25 yuan, and long jackets are 30 yuan. Don't miss out!"
He wore a maroon overcoat and had a very loud and penetrating voice.
