Chapter 209 Zhang Ying (1)
It was already late when we left Yanyufu. The crowds of people relaxing in the park had gradually dispersed, leaving only a few young couples still strolling in the woods or sitting on benches, affectionately chatting.
Tian Xin remained silent all the way, without even raising her head. She just kept walking forward, her eyes fixed on the road in front of her, moving slowly. I wonder what she was thinking?
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Lin Zhou stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
“…”
No response!
Lin Zhou waved his hand again and called her softly: "Tian Xin!"
“…”
Still no response!
Seeing that they were about to fall into the river, Lin Zhou reached out and grabbed her: "What are you thinking about?"
"Ah?" She suddenly realized and was startled: "What's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about? I called you for a long time and you didn't respond?"
"Oh," Tian Xin looked up at him with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Nothing, I was just distracted!"
She glanced around and saw that it was already dark. She took out her phone to check the time and suddenly exclaimed: "It's so late?"
"Yeah! We were delayed for quite some time! We might be late getting back. Why don't you call your mom first to let her know? That way she won't worry!"
"Of course I have to. It's already this late and I haven't returned yet. My mom must be worried!" She muttered as she dialed the phone, "Why didn't you remind me just now?"
The call was quickly connected. Li Aiying was indeed anxious. Her hurried voice came over the phone: "Leilei said you went to the county town, why haven't you come back yet? Several people have been looking for you this afternoon, but you didn't answer the phone!"
She took out her phone and glanced at the screen. There were indeed several missed calls.
"I didn't notice!" Tian Xin said, "Mom, who came to see me this afternoon? Did they say what it was about?"
"Come back quickly, they haven't left yet, come back and talk later!"
After saying this, Li Aiying hung up the phone in a hurry.
The two did not dare to delay and drove all the way to Xiaowan Village.
The village was completely quiet. Most families were still sitting under the gatehouse to enjoy the cool air, waiting for the heat to subside before returning to their homes to sleep.
Lin Zhou accompanied her all the way to her doorstep.
Before I got off the bus, I saw a few people sitting under the gatehouse, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans and talking.
Seeing her return in the car, several people under the gate stood up and looked in. Lin Zhou got out first, walked around to the side to open the door for Tian Xin, and the two of them walked to the door together to greet Li Aiying.
Sitting under the gatehouse were Li Li, Tian Lei, and several neighbors, all of whom were online shop owners. Tian Xin frowned and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
They didn't rush to answer. Instead, they looked Lin Zhou up and down, then teased Tian Xin with a smile, "I was wondering why we couldn't get in touch with him. Did he go on a date?"
"about……"
"This is her classmate. Maybe they met on the road," Li Aiying interrupted Tian Xin and explained before she finished. Seeing Tian Xin blushing, she said to Lin Zhou: "Lin Zhou, I'm sorry to trouble you to send her back again! Don't bother Lin Zhou so much in the future!" The latter sentence was said to Tian Xin.
"It's okay, Auntie. You guys chat, I'm leaving first!" Lin Zhou smiled and nodded to everyone. He looked at Tian Xin and whispered, "I'm leaving first!"
Although it was only a moment, Tian Xin still caught a glimpse of disappointment on Lin Zhou's face. She turned around and followed him, watching Lin Zhou get into the car. Before the car started, she said to him through the window: "Drive slowly on the road. Call me when you get there. I have something to tell you!"
"Okay!" Lin Zhou smiled again, responded softly and drove away!
Tian Xin returned to the gatehouse and found a small bench to sit on, looking at the people opposite one by one.
These people's eyes were following Lin Zhou's car one second ago, but the next second when they saw Tian Xin sitting down, they immediately returned to their gloomy expressions.
"What's going on?" Tian Xin looked at them and asked, "What happened?"
Several people looked at each other, hesitant and didn't speak.
"Is it about the courier?" Tian Xin asked again: "I went to the courier company this afternoon, and they will give us a reply tomorrow. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, so don't worry!"
After hearing her explanation, Li Li and Tian Lei stammered, "Xinxin, don't explain anymore. I came to you today to say..."
"What?"
"Ah..." Li Li sighed: "I don't know how to ask you!"
"Are you too busy at home?" Tian Xin asked, "Sister, if you really can't take care of it, you can take a few days off. It won't be a problem!"
"That won't work. If we wait a few days, everyone will run away. We might as well just shut it down!"
Li Li looked at the sleeping child in her arms and sighed, "Everything at home is easy to solve. What worries me now is that my product has been getting harder and harder to sell, and the number of returns has been increasing.
You said it was because of the delivery, which is possible. But I checked today and there are too many shops like mine. People are very picky about their tastes, so I really don't have any advantages."
"So, you want to..." Tian Xin tried to ask half a sentence.
"If we continue like this, we won't make any money. But I won't give up!" Li Li raised her head and looked at Tian Xin with a firm gaze: "I still want to do it!"
"What do you mean?" Tian Xin was a little confused: "Do you want to change the category or do you have any other ideas?"
"Well! Let's change the category!" Li Li said: "I talked to everyone this afternoon, and clothes are still the best-selling products right now. I want to give it a try!"
"Okay, I'll find time in the next couple of days and I'll help you adjust the content on your homepage. You can choose the right products. If you have any questions about purchasing, just ask Aunt Li! Let her guide you!"
Tian Xin finished speaking and tapped her sore calves. She had walked too much in the afternoon and was feeling a little sleepy!
But the people at the door had no intention of leaving. After Li Li finished speaking, a woman behind her continued to speak.
"Xinxin, do you still recognize me?"
Following the voice, Tian Xin glanced back and frowned immediately: "You are..."
I was so busy asking everyone about the online store that I didn't notice there was someone sitting in the corner chatting with Li Aiying.
She tried hard to recall for a long time, but still couldn't remember who this person was. She could only smile at her awkwardly.
"You don't remember, right?" The man seemed to see that she didn't remember, but he didn't mind. He smiled and said, "You were only in your teens when I left home. It's been more than ten years now. It's normal that you don't remember! Hehe..."
Been away from home for more than ten years?
Tian Xin quickly searched her mind: Most of the girls in the village who had left home for many years were married far away. She hadn't come back in over ten years, could it be...
"This is your Aunt Zhang's eldest sister, Zhang Ying!" Li Aiying introduced her, "She just came back today. I heard you were going to open an online store, so I came to see you!"
