Wanting to give her husband a surprise, Linglong didn't mention that she and Congcong were going back soon.
The mother and son took the bus to the suburbs, and luckily they got on a horse-drawn carriage used by villagers from a nearby village, and took the bus outside the army.
When she came back with Congcong and was opening the door, she first alarmed Zhao Aihong who lived next door.
"Linglong, you're finally back."
Seeing her delicate figure, he greeted her warmly. "Sister-in-law."
"You've lived in your mother-in-law's house for quite some time. It seems that you have a good relationship with her and her family." Zhao Aihong lowered her voice.
Linglong smiled. "I do get along pretty well with my wife and the others."
"No matter how well you get along, you can't forget your man. I see that Deputy Commander Zheng has been alone these days. He looks so pitiful. He even went home alone and didn't forget to water your vegetables." Zhao Aihong spoke for Zheng Tiansen.
Linglong suppressed a laugh. "Sister-in-law, you're right. I just happened to have something to do those few days, and I came back as soon as I finished it."
"Is there something wrong? I told you, then please come into the house quickly." Zhao Aihong was very tactful and did not ask what it was.
Linglong opened the door and went in. Seeing that the room was clean, she went to look at the refrigerator.
As a result, there is nothing to eat in the refrigerator except pickled vegetables.
She raised her wrist to check her watch, and without even taking a rest, she slung a basket over her shoulder and took her son out to buy groceries.
The vegetables in their yard have only been grown for a short time and are not ready to be picked yet, so they still have to buy them to eat immediately.
Since time was not tight, she and Congcong walked slowly.
Occasionally, when he met some children playing outside, Congcong's eyes were shining.
It seems that it is really time to send my son to kindergarten.
When he was in the university compound, Congcong did make some friends, but in the family quarters, there were no children to play with.
After finding a place, Linglong picked out several dishes, filled the basket, and then led Congcong back.
After returning home, she sat down for a while and drank a glass of water, then started to busy herself with cooking.
Halfway through, she suddenly remembered that her husband didn't know she would go to the cafeteria to eat when she came back, so she had to give up the surprise and quickly call.
Zheng Tiansen was reading documents in his office with a serious expression when he suddenly received a call from his wife.
"You're back? Okay, I'll be back after get off work."
After a while, someone came in to deliver something and found that Zheng Tiansen had a warm smile on his face and his attitude was particularly gentle.
At one o'clock, Xiao Li came in and asked Zheng Tiansen whether he wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat or he should take the food back. He saw that his leader was putting on his coat.
"Don't eat in the cafeteria, go home and eat."
"Go home for dinner?" Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.
Zheng Tiansen walked home quickly and could already smell the aroma of food wafting from home as soon as he reached the courtyard gate.
As soon as I entered the yard, Congcong, who was playing in the yard, rushed over.
"dad."
Zheng Tiansen picked up his son and held him in his arms. "Ouch, he's heavier again."
Linglong smiled and shouted from inside the room, "It's time to wash your hands before eating. Both of you should wash them."
"Okay, I will resolutely obey the leadership's orders." Zheng Tiansen saluted.
His antics also made Linglong in the room smile even more.
After the father and son washed their hands and sat down at the dinner table, Linglong also brought the food to the table.
Linglong felt guilty for not being home for several days, so she cooked more.
Congcong can now sit on a stool and eat by himself, and he doesn't need to be fed by adults.
Zheng Tiansen was eating while caring for his wife.
"How's the deal between you and Xiao Jiang?"
"It's fine. We've dealt with all the clothes we brought back."
"All?" Zheng Tiansen stopped using the chopsticks in his hand.
"Yes, all of them. How about it? Are we awesome?"
Zheng Tiansen nodded.
"Then guess how much we earned this time?"
Zheng Tiansen shook his head. "I don't know."
This man is straight again now.
Linglong had no choice but to speak out. "Not counting Tianxin's, Xiao Jiang's principal and interest was over 1,000 yuan, so he made 5,000 yuan. I also made over 5,000 yuan, so I made over 3,000 yuan."
Zheng Tiansen paused with his chopsticks and looked at her in shock. "So many?"
"Yes, this was our first time going there to buy goods. We were not familiar with the route and it took us some time. After we came back, it took us five days to sell the goods, both in the morning and afternoon."
If his wife hadn't told him herself, Zheng Tiansen wouldn't have believed that making money could be so easy.
"Xiao Jiang made the right decision to follow you this time." He didn't expect that his wife also had a talent for business.
Being praised in disguise, Linglong felt proud but also a little embarrassed.
"well enough."
"Will there be any problems with making so much money?" Zheng Tiansen was a little worried.
Linglong had considered this issue a long time ago.
"I only plan to sell it this way once. If I do it too many times, it will definitely attract attention and cause trouble." After all, the buying and selling policies at this time are not clear and stable.
"Here's what I'm thinking: I'll take a good rest for a few days, and then I plan to rent a shop in the city and open a proper business."
"What kind of store?"
"Well, let's sell clothes first."
They can import clothes from the south and then bring them back to sell.
In addition to clothes, if there are other suitable items, they can also be sold together. As long as it makes money and is legal, there is no problem.
After hearing her talk about opening a shop and doing business, Zheng Tiansen felt less worried.
“This is good and stable.”
"Yes, I will go to school when school starts. I won't have time to manage the store even if I open it. When the time comes, I will have to rely on Xiao Jiang."
"Xiao Jiang does a good job." Zheng Tiansen gave a fair evaluation.
"If business is good and we're short on staff, we can hire another one later."
"It's up to you to decide." He didn't really understand these things. He could lead troops to fight, but he was really not good at doing business.
"There's one more thing. Besides opening a shop, if there's a suitable house, I also want to buy one." Linglong finally said what she had been thinking about for a long time.
Zheng Tiansen looked at her.
"Although we may not live here, I think as our country's economy develops, houses will definitely become more and more expensive in the future. Even if we don't live here, it's still an investment. When Congcong grows up, we can leave it to him."
"You manage the money, and you make the decisions."
Linglong laughed. "Even if I'm in charge of the money, I still have to discuss such an important matter with you."
"Okay." Zheng Tiansen expressed his satisfaction.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and after Congcong went to bed at night, the couple felt like they were reunited after a short separation.
In Beijing, Xiao Jiang has been very excited since he got a few dollars.
After Linglong and the others left, he wrote a letter home.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about me anymore. Our team leader and sister-in-law are very good to me. Sister-in-law took me to do business, and I also made money..."
Xiao Jiang did not go into the details of how he made money. He simply wrote the letter and sent it back home along with two hundred yuan.
These two dozen dollars should be enough to make his family feel at ease about him, which is more effective than any words he says.
