Lin Yi stopped talking now.
The next day, before Lin Ying's family left, Hong Weimin's family came.
Lin E returned to the city after many years and felt that everything was new and strange. She kept muttering, "This road used to be the dirt road to Xiatian, right? Is this the road to Nanxi? No! We used to walk..."
Lin'e kept muttering to herself until she reached Nanyu Island.
When Lin Yi saw his elder sister whom he hadn't seen for many years, tears streamed down his face. The two stood at the gate of the gap and exchanged greetings for a long time.
Chen Wenjun then advised: "Dad, aunt, let's go inside and talk."
Lin E nodded and walked inside with the help of Lin Yi.
Seeing the fields, houses and trees on the island, Lin E was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head. "Did Wenjun and Aqin buy all this?"
Hong Weimin nodded repeatedly.
Huang Yuezhen smiled and said, "Mom, these fields are planted by my uncle and me. We also raise pigs, chickens, ducks and geese in the back. There is also a gymnasium where we can exercise. Isn't it great?"
Lin'e nodded hesitantly, her eyes unable to take it all in.
This was Hong Shaoyang’s second time here, and he still felt shocked, not to mention his younger brothers and sisters.
As soon as the group arrived in the yard, Lin Ying's family came out to greet them and there was another round of greetings.
Huang Yuezhen was so happy when she learned that Lin Qin gave birth to a son on the New Year's Day. Before she could calm down, she heard that Lin Ying and his wife wanted to adopt a child.
Feeling somewhat reluctant, he hurried into the house and took the sleeping little girl out to play.
Lin Ying laughed and said, "Last night, the child slept with my husband and me. He was really well behaved and didn't feel shy."
"It's still young!" Huang Yuezhen held the child and coaxed him for a while, then gave the child to the jealous Lin E and asked, "If you want to adopt the child, have you thought of a name?"
"Not yet! I'm going to ask Aqin to help me think of one. Isn't she a student? Let her choose a nice and resonant name."
Lin Ying’s calculations were very clear.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Qin, who was in confinement on the second floor, heard it all and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
When Lin Ying came over to ask for her name, she decisively wrote three big words "Hong Xinyi" on the paper.
Lin Ying looked at it carefully and asked Lin Qin to write Yaya's full name, Chen Xinyue. After a careful comparison, she was happy, "You know what, if they have the same surname, everyone will know they are sisters! This is the name!"
Because the baby girl had a nice name, everyone encouraged Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun to give their newborn son a nice name as well.
Lin Qin kicked the ball directly to Chen Wenjun.
Chen Wenjun was quite pleased and thought: "Ping An's full name is Chen Ruiyu, and the second child's full name is Chen Ruiming, and his nickname is Aqinding."
Lin Qin nodded, "This name is not bad. Let's follow Ping An and call her Xile."
So, the little baby boy, who was just a few days old, had his own full name and nickname.
The Xu and Hong families stayed in Nanyu until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before leaving.
Hong Weimin had to go to Nangang to work, so he didn't go back with them. It was Huang Yuezhen who took the whole family back by bus.
As soon as they left, Lin Qin continued to take care of herself during her confinement.
Due to the shortage of manpower, Chen Wenjun did not dare to let Lin Yi go to Nangang with him next time.
Lin Qin didn't know how he did it. Seeing that he was busy on his own, she didn't ask him. It was not until she was out of confinement that she learned that Chen Wenjun no longer set up a stall in the morning. Instead, he cooperated with several fishmongers in the city's vegetable markets and wholesaled seafood to them. Not only did he make bigger business and earn more money, but most importantly, he saved a lot of time.
She praised Chen Wenjun highly.
Chen Wenjun was embarrassed. "It's not that I have a business sense. My cousin told me that starting this year, fishing boats will not only enter the port at 5 a.m., but also come back at 4 a.m. So I thought about making more trips to make wholesale easier."
After Lin Qin learned about this situation, he immediately suggested: "We have bought so many stores. Let's find the largest one, renovate it, and buy a few large freezers. Then we can put all the seafood in the store. They can go to the store to get the goods if they are wholesalers, and we can also sell them individually, so that we don't delay either."
Chen Wenjun's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. "My wife is really smart. It doesn't matter if I run a few more times."
Lin Qin nodded. "I'm done with my confinement now, so I can help you run the store. It's no problem for you to go to Nangang three or four times a day. Let Zheng Guoxing come to our store to select seafood. It's more convenient this way. We can give him a discount on the price, and he will definitely be happy."
After the matter was settled, Chen Wenjun immediately went around several of his own stores and found the one closest to the Liu family to be the most suitable.
Firstly, this is a regular store and does not require excessive renovations; secondly, the place is large enough for him to do business.
After Chen Wenjun told Lin Qin the result, he went back and found a few people to renovate the store, then went to Gao Lei's warehouse and selected four large freezers.
It took four or five days to complete it.
On the opening day of "Wenjun Seafood Wholesale Store", Lin Qin had people place a few flower baskets outside the store and set off a string of firecrackers, and then immediately went in to get busy.
Chen Wenjun sets out for Nangang at three in the morning and delivers a batch of seafood to the store before five o'clock. This is also when Lin Qin starts to get busy.
At about half past six, the second batch of seafood arrived.
Before eight o'clock, there were always vendors coming to the store, and Lin Qin had no free time at all.
It was around this time that the two ships of goods that Chen Wenjun brought back would be sold out.
The next batch of goods is due in the evening. These goods are specially wholesaled to restaurants. Lin Qin can come over to help after class and there will be no delay at all.
This kind of life is a little tiring, but it is quite fulfilling and the whole family enjoys it.
In a blink of an eye, it is the scorching June, which is also the time for the college entrance examination.
Lin Qin has worked hard for a year, and it's time to test the results of his learning.
This was a big deal for the whole family. Chen Wenjun even wanted to close the store for two days so that he could go and cheer for Lin Qin.
Lin Qin was so scared, "Don't bother me, I know my own strengths and weaknesses. Just consider this as gaining experience in advance. Don't expect me to pass the exam in one try. Just do what you need to do. I'll ask my cousin's wife to come over and help for two days."
Chen Wenjun had no choice but to do as Lin Qin said.
On the day of the exam, Lin Yi cooked two big red duck eggs and a bowl of noodles for her early in the morning. He looked at her eagerly and said, "My dear daughter, you should study hard and try your best. We will not have any regrets."
Lin Qin nodded vigorously, ate a bowl of noodles and two duck eggs, and carried his bicycle onto his grandfather's fishing boat.
When she arrived at the examination room, she found that most of the candidates were nervous and serious, which made her feel nervous as well. She did not dare to relax at all when doing the questions.
The two days of the college entrance examination seemed like two years to Lin Qin. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. She really wasn't good at studying. If she hadn't held her breath, she probably wouldn't have been able to make it this far. (End of this chapter)
