Chapter 200 This is not a good thing to say
The excitement continued until thirty firecrackers were set off and three or four batches of candy were scattered, and then the villagers gradually left the village committee and went home.
The bosses who were invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony were taken on a tour of the online stores by Tian Fushun, and then drove away one after another, leaving only Li Ke and Lin Zhou.
Tian Xin took the two of them and Li Jing to visit the internal facilities of the online store.
Since most of the initial investment came from sponsorships raised by Tian Xin, in order to ensure that the villagers could smoothly get through the difficult period of initial operation, Tian Xin settled everyone in this house.
The house is spacious, with its own front yard and back garden. There are three rooms in the middle, all used to store computers and other necessary equipment.
When the few people entered, the shop owners were already busy inside. Seeing someone come in, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them.
Tian Xin smiled and introduced everyone: "This is Mr. Li Ke, the logistics company responsible for providing our shipment!"
"Our cooperation period is one year. In the later period, his employees will come to deliver goods to us every day. Everyone must pay attention to all matters related to delivery and report any problems as soon as possible. Mr. Li and I will jointly supervise and ensure a smooth cooperation this year."
"Hello, Boss Li!" Li Xiaoyan came forward and greeted him with a smile: "Thank you for not despising our village's backward conditions. Your coming here has really helped us a lot! From now on, we don't have to run to the county every day!"
"It's my honor to be able to help you all," Li Ke said with a smile, "You're welcome, just call me Xiao Li. I'm here to run errands for you all, and I hope everyone can make a lot of money and get rich!"
"That's great! I'll take advantage of Xiao Li's good wishes!" Li Xiaoyan said with a smile, "We're all rough folks in the countryside, nothing like you guys in the city. If there's anything I don't do well in the future, Xiao Li, you'll have to bear with me."
"Of course! Of course..." Li Ke nodded and responded with a smile.
"This is Lin Zhou," Tian Xin pointed at him and introduced him to everyone, "I'm sure everyone has heard that all our computers are sponsored by Lin Zhou."
"Oh! I know!" Tian Lei was busy sitting in front of the computer. When she heard Tian Xin's introduction, she turned around and walked towards the others. She looked Lin Zhou up and down and said, "Last time at the village entrance, you were the one who drove Xinxin to the county town, right? I was saying you looked familiar!"
"..." Lin Zhou was stunned, then realized that he had probably been seen at the village entrance sometime before, and he didn't deny it: "Oh, I have been to the village before!"
"Hey, young man, you're sponsoring so many computers for us right now. That must be a lot of money!"
Aunt Zhang had come in to watch the fun, but when she saw them talking, she joined in the gossip. She approached Lin Zhou, glancing at Tian Xin from left to right and then at him, smiling: "You know our Xinxin very well, don't you?"
"Familiar!" Lin Zhou smiled broadly, his hands behind his back as he looked at Tian Xin: "Very familiar! We..."
"We are college classmates. He is two years older than me and is considered my senior!" Tian Xin quickly glanced at Lin Zhou and interrupted to explain to Aunt Zhang and others.
She didn't know why, but she felt that Lin Zhou was acting strangely today. He was very different from usual.
Whenever he came to the village and met people before, he would avoid them if possible and didn't like to get close to people. There were a few times when he was sending her back and they met acquaintances in the village. She would greet them with a smile, but Lin Zhou would frown and say nothing.
But today, he was actually... so "generous"! It really surprised Tian Xin!
"Oh, a college classmate!" Aunt Zhang looked Lin Zhou up and down with a gossipy look on her face. She said to Li Xiaoyan and Tian Lei standing next to them, "No wonder you're spending so much money to sponsor so many computers for us. I think you're all benefiting from Xinxin's influence!"
"Who is it?" Li Xiaoyan patted Lin Zhou's arm with a smile and asked him tentatively:
"Young man, tell me the truth. You, a city kid, came to our mountain village and spent so much money to buy us a computer. You must be attracted to our Xinxin, right?"
“…”
“…”
“…”
There was a brief silence in the room, and several people stood there in shock.
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off-topic, Tian Xin quickly interrupted: "Well, Aunt, why don't you guys go ahead and do your work first. I'll take them for a walk around here!" After saying that, she pulled Li Jing and winked at Lin Zhou.
When Li Xiaoyan saw her leaving, she immediately became anxious: "Hey, the young man hasn't said anything yet? Why are you so anxious?"
Li Jing bit her lip and tried hard to hold back her laughter when she heard this, and Li Ke couldn't help but turn his head away and laugh wildly. In order to avoid being bombarded, the two quietly left the room and went to the yard.
There were a few villagers gathered in the yard chatting. When they saw the two of them come out, they hurriedly stood up and greeted them.
Before they sat down, Lin Zhou and Tian Xin came out of the room and walked towards them.
Tian Xin's face was red and white, and with her cheongsam and red lips, she really had the charm of a classical beauty. Lin Zhou followed behind her, a faint smile on his face, looking quite happy.
Seeing Li Jing sitting in the yard, Lin Zhou took the opportunity to pull Tian Xin out of the door.
The crowd outside had dispersed, and the red firecracker debris remaining on the ground was scattered all over the floor. Several middle-aged women were sweeping with brooms.
Seeing Tian Xin coming out, one of the women pointed to the plastic bag at the door and said to her: "Xinxin, I've brought your shoes and clothes. Go find a place to change!"
"Oh...Okay, Mom!" Tian Xin responded, walked over, picked up the bag and walked inside again.
After taking a few steps, she remembered that Lin Zhou was still at the door and turned back: "Wait for me first, I'll change my clothes and come right away!"
"Okay!" Lin Zhou responded, turned around and fixed his gaze on the middle-aged woman opposite him.
mom?
This is Tian Xin’s mother!
Despite having met her twice before, Lin Zhou barely had any memory of Li Aiying. The first time was when Zhang Shuai was in a car accident; they had a brief encounter and exchanged few words. The second time was even more so, as it was late at night and he couldn't see her clearly.
Now standing face to face, he realized that Tian Xin really looked a lot like her mother.
The same facial features, the same demeanor, and almost the same tone of voice. The only difference was age.
Lin Zhou hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should go up and say hello.
But Li Aiying had clearly already known who he was. She had been among the crowd when Lin Zhou had given Tian Xin flowers. Seeing this handsome, generous young man giving flowers to her daughter in public, his eyes flirting with her, Li Aiying felt a strange feeling in her heart.
So without any hesitation, she walked up to Lin Zhou and looked at him with a gentle smile: "Young man, are you the classmate who sent Xinxin back last time?"
