Chapter 294: Village
The three of them went downstairs to the garage, loaded the fruit, and then Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned to their hometown.
On the way, Lin Xiaoxia also followed Lu Jingshen to learn how to drive, because she planned to take the driver's license test in the summer.
When he arrived at the site of the house he had bought in the village, Lu Guojiu was packing up his things. The workers had finished their work, and he was worried about them, so he tidied up some of their things.
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law come back, Lu Guojiu was very happy: "Why are you two back at night?"
Lu Jingshen said, "Dad, we have to go to Qingyan County this weekend. I'm worried about you not coming back for so long, so I came back to visit."
Lu Guojiu said: "Didn't I tell you that everything is fine at home, you just need to do your own things and don't worry about them."
Lin Xiaoxia said: "Dad, this is not far. What else can you do here? What can Jingshen and I do?"
Lu Guojiu waved his hand and said, "No need for you. It's all done. I just feel uneasy, so I'll tidy up a few more." Then he said, "Hurry up and take a look. This place is huge. The workers who came to build the house said that this is the first time such a house has been built in this village."
There is a factory building in front, and my home is a two-story building in the back. This way, I can clearly see the entire factory from the second floor of my house.
After the foundation is dug, it looks like it covers a very large area, and it will definitely be spectacular when it is completed.
Of course, Lin Xiaoxia is now full of hope for the future of the factory. She can open a specialty store in the city in the future, and this brand must become bigger and stronger.
After looking around for a while, it was getting dark, so they went home.
When they got home, Li Shaofen had already prepared dinner, but she didn't expect them to come back and didn't bring them any, so she quickly started to cook noodles and scrambled eggs.
Lu Jingyuan is studying very hard now. He is about to take the high school entrance examination. His goal this year is to get into a key high school. Because he only lacked English in the past, now English can become a plus point for him. If he performs normally, he will have no problem getting into a key high school.
Speaking of it, for rural children at that time, English is really a subject that holds them back. There are English classes starting from the first grade of junior high school. There are only one or two English teachers in a middle school, and the level of English teachers is hard to describe. Many of them rely on rote memorization.
Lu Jingyuan has Lin Xiaoxia's guidance, a walkman to listen to tapes every day, and so many exercises to practice. This is considered a high-end English learning system in the countryside.
Many of the review materials and exercises that Lin Xiaoxia bought for him were borrowed by his English teacher to make copies for them to use as tests. Some classmates also borrowed them from him and copied them to do. In this era, in this kind of rural area, those who got into high school really had to work several times harder than the average person.
Lu Jingyuan chatted with Lin Xiaoxia and said that the girl who ranked first in their class dropped out of school because her father fell and became paralyzed while working, her mother was mentally ill, and she had younger brothers and sisters at home, so she couldn't go to school anymore.
Lin Xiaoxia also thought of the original owner of this body. She was also a good student, but she was delayed in the end.
But there's no way around it. You can't just reach out and help. Take that girl, for example. You give her money for school, but what about her paralyzed father? What about her younger siblings? She simply can't leave home.
Lin Xiaoxia told Lu Jingyuan that when the factory opens in the future, if her classmates want to come and work and earn money, they should tell their parents and ask them to help.
I heard it, and I'll help if I can. I can't do more, but it can give her a stable income, which should be useful to her family.
After dinner, the family sat down and talked about recent business. This year's business is better than last year because there are more individuals now, many families have spare money, and there are fewer children in families now, so the food sells especially well.
Lin Xiaoxia took Lu Jingyuan's English exercises and randomly checked a few questions for him. Lu Jingyuan answered them all correctly.
I originally wanted to send some fruits to Lu Lin, but it was getting late, so I just waited for them to come and get them tomorrow. I finally got back, and Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen had a lot to tell them.
It is now expected that the factory will be completed before the rainy season, and then the equipment will be installed, and it will be officially operational in September.
We chatted until late at night before falling asleep.
The next morning, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned to the city.
The air in the morning is very fresh, and the scent of weeds in the spring soil makes people feel that breathing is smoother.
Back in the city, Lu Jingshen went to work. Lin Xiaoxia was at home, drawing the floor plan and renderings of Lin Rui's store. She also made some snacks and divided them into two parts. One part would be given to her second brother to take home, and the other part would be given to her eldest brother, Lin Xiao, to ask him what he was interested in. She couldn't be partial to one and ignore the other. Letting her eldest brother know that she was helping her second brother with his business seemed to be alienating him. But she also had to ask her eldest brother what he thought. Did he want to do it? What did he want to do?
If Lin Xiao has no interest in these things at all, then there is no need to force him. I can wait and see when I can do something and then give him a share, or help him speculate in real estate in the future, so that he can have some family property.
In the afternoon, she went to Lin Rui's unit first, gave Lin Rui the drawings and snacks, and told him that she could find someone to start construction while Lin Rui was resting.
Fortunately for Lin Rui, his friend ships the goods in Bincheng, so there is no need for further processing, and there are relatively few varieties of dried seafood, so he really doesn't have to worry too much about this.
After leaving Lin Rui, Lin Xiaoxia went to her eldest brother's unit.
Lin Xiao heard that someone was looking for him, so he came out. Seeing that it was his sister, he greeted her happily: "Xiaoxia, why are you here? Let's talk inside." Then he took Lin Xiaoxia to a customer lounge nearby.
After entering, Lin Xiaoxia gave the snacks to Lin Xiao: "Brother, I made some snacks and brought some to you. I also have something I want to discuss with you."
When Lin Xiao heard his sister say something was wrong, he quickly asked, "What is it?"
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Lin Xiao's nervous expression and said, "It's not a bad thing, brother. I've been thinking about helping you and second brother do some side jobs. A while ago, when my second brother and I went to Bincheng, I thought of letting him start a dried seafood business. It just so happened that his friends were in Bincheng and could ship the goods. Those friends really put in a lot of money and effort in finding Xiaoya, and they didn't ask for anything in return. I thought about letting second brother partner with them to do this. Second brother's shop was rented yesterday, and I thought about giving my parents a surprise, so I didn't tell my family. I wanted to ask big brother if he is interested in doing business. If he is, I will keep an eye out for good projects in the future."
Lin Xiao thought for a while and shook his head: "I have no interest in these things, and I don't understand them, so forget it."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Brother, I understand these things even if you don't. I can learn them. The main thing is, are you interested?"
Lin Xiao still shook his head: "I'm not interested. I really have no idea about this."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Lin Xiao and smiled, "It's okay, big brother. You are not interested in business. When I start a business in the future, I will find a suitable investment and take you with me."
Of course, Lin Xiaoxia didn't say it too bluntly. There would always be a way to help her brother make money in the future. Even if it was by speculating in real estate, it would be nice to sell two shops and collect rent. It would be comfortable and free.
