Chapter 421 Fourth Uncle's Store
As they were talking, Lin Xiaoxia drove to the approximate location of the shop rented by her fourth uncle. She was a little unsure which shop it belonged to, but she happened to see Zheng Qing coming in and out to pack up, so they got out of the car and went over.
Zheng Qing was particularly happy to see them coming: "Xiaoxia, Jingshen, why are you here?"
Lin Xiaoxia said, "We just happened to be here to do something, so we came to see how the cleanup is going."
"Your uncle and aunt rented the place and cleaned it up, bringing all the beddings with them. We moved in right away yesterday. I've already started cleaning up the shop. I plan to go around the area this afternoon to see if there are any old counters I can buy to save money. Then I can hire a carpenter to make two shelves. It won't cost too much, and we can open the business." Zheng Qing couldn't help but introduce the situation to them as soon as she saw Lin Xiaoxia.
Lin Xiaoxia is not worried about Zheng Qing's brain. She is really good at business and her fourth uncle will enjoy the good life with her in the future.
She said, "Aunt, I believe in your ability. If you don't have money or connections for what you want to do, just give us a call. Don't hesitate."
Zheng Qing nodded: "I know, I won't be polite with you."
As he was speaking, Wen Jizu came out on crutches: "Now that you're here, come inside and take a look. This place is quite big."
Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen called Wen Jizu "Uncle" and followed them into the house.
Wen Jizu said again after entering the house, "Your third uncle and his wife came over this morning and brought a lot of things. We have everything we need. Look at this room, how nicely tidied it is."
Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen went in and saw that the store was not small. The store itself was over 50 square meters, which was definitely enough to open a daily necessities store.
There is a bedroom of about ten square meters inside. Although the bathroom and kitchen are small, they are independent, which is very convenient.
Wen Guowang and the children will not be coming here for the time being, so they have enough. Lin Xiaoxia thinks that with Zheng Qing's business idea, they can buy a house within three years. Even if they don't have enough money, she will lend a hand and let them buy a house here, which will make it convenient for the children to go to school.
Lu Jingshen looked at the house and said, "It's quite good. It has everything."
Lin Xiaoxia also said: "Indeed, but I believe that Auntie will be able to double the size of the store in a few years."
Lin Xiaoxia did not give Zheng Qing any advice on the store layout, nor did she help with the design, because this place sells small general merchandise, targeting the hospital and nearby citizens. The closer these small general merchandise are to life, the better. The store style that Zheng Qing imagined was actually the most suitable, so she did not give much advice in this regard.
Zheng Qing smiled and touched Lin Xiaoxia's hair: "Girl, you only know how to say things that make me happy."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Auntie, what I told you is really from the bottom of my heart. Auntie, you really have a good business mind. If you have any ideas, don't restrain yourself."
Zheng Qing looked at Lin Xiaoxia: "Really?"
Lin Xiaoxia nodded: "Really, you are the most talented person in business I have ever met. It's just that you entered the industry late, or you didn't see much before, but now your horizons have broadened. You have great potential."
Wen Jizu said, "I think so too. We didn't do business at home before, but your aunt was able to trade dried wild vegetables for mushrooms, then traded mushrooms for eggs, and then traded eggs for a chicken. Anyway, she was guaranteed to make money every time she went out. Our family lived well in the countryside, and it was all because of her smart brain."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Zheng Qing with a smile: "Auntie, you are my idol."
Zheng Qing laughed out loud: "What do you mean by idol? You are the one I want to imitate."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Really, Auntie, if I encounter a bottleneck in the future, I will ask you to help me solve it."
Zheng Qing said, "If I can help you, then I'm really awesome."
Wen Jizu smiled and whispered to Lu Jingshen, "When this woman gets down to business, she's really more energetic than a man."
Lu Jingshen also smiled: "That's great. Having your own career is not only about making money, but also about being more fulfilled."
Wen Jizu nodded: "That's true. Before, I always felt that I was lame and that my life might be over, but now I have a goal to strive for, and I am not worried anymore."
"So I am willing to let Xiaoxia have her own career." Lu Jingshen said seriously.
"Indeed, Jing Shen, you are really good to Xiao Xia. Uncle is relieved to see that. Xiao Xia is a good child, and you two are good too." Wen Jizu is sensible and will not speak in a teaching tone, because although he is the elder, he also knows that these two children are more far-sighted than them, so the best thing for him to do is to encourage them.
Lu Jingshen listened to Wen Jizu's simple compliment and said, "Uncle, you are too kind. We both have many shortcomings, but you just don't see them."
“No one is perfect. If everything is good, then we are gods.”
"Uncle Step-grandfather, you see things clearly. In Xiaoxia's words, you are the most clear-headed person in the world."
Wen Jizu smiled and said, "Xiaoxia, this girl, always has some strange words."
"Yes, sometimes I even suspect that she is a fairy who has come down to earth." Lu Jingshen laughed again as he spoke.
Lin Xiaoxia turned around and saw Lu Jingshen smiling so happily, and asked, "What are you talking about so happily?"
Lu Jingshen said: "They said I married a fairy."
Lin Xiaoxia scratched her head: "Why doesn't this sound like a compliment to me?"
Zheng Qing said confidently: "It must be a compliment to you. Auntie thinks you are a fairy who has come down to earth."
Lu Jingshen also smiled and said, "I really praise you, little fairy."
Lin Xiaoxia laughed at the little fairy herself. This word will have a wide range of meanings in the future, but others don't understand it now. She said, "Then I'll take it as a compliment." Then she asked Wen Jizu, "Uncle, do you still need to buy anything? It just so happens that we have a car, so it's convenient to take you shopping."
Wen Jizu said, "No need to buy anything. We have everything. Your uncle has brought all the pots and pans. You guys sit down. I'll go get you some soda."
Zheng Qing looked at Wen Jizu and said, "Your legs are not in good condition, so you should sit down and talk to the child. I'll go." With that, Zheng Qing went out.
Lin Xiaoxia didn't stop them. In their eyes, she and Lu Jingshen were still children. She had to accept their love for her to make them happier.
Wen Jizu sat down and told them about his feelings after coming to the city. The progress in this era is really too fast. The main reason is that there are more individuals, the per capita income has increased, and people's living standards have improved a lot.
Lin Xiaoxia also knew that the country's progress was the fastest in this era, and the 1990s was truly a qualitative leap.
After a while, Zheng Qing came back and gave each of them a bottle of orange-flavored soda.
The four of them talked about some things about opening a store. Although Wen Jizu didn't have much insight into business, he supported Zheng Qing very much and said that he would definitely work hard with Zheng Qing in the future.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen insisted on driving Wen Jizu and Zheng Qing to a barbecue restaurant for dinner. Now Wen Jizu only had one crutch, so it was not that troublesome for him to go out.
