Chapter 108 Self-Planning
The last one is on the road leading to Qingyun Temple.
Although this is not the urban area, Qingyun Temple is quite popular. The houses here are neither expensive nor cheap. A small farmhouse costs more than 2,000 yuan, and you can renovate it yourself.
If they bought houses in all four places, it would cost about 12,000 yuan, which was a sum that the couple could definitely afford.
When Chen Wenjun came back from his work, Lin Qin told him about this.
"I think the houses in these four places are all good. The three shops in the city can be given to the three children, one for each. We can renovate the farmyard near Qingyun Temple and make the front into a shop and live in the back. We can also build a yard. The most important thing is that the house is next to the water. It takes less than five minutes for us to get there by boat. What do you think?"
Chen Wenjun met Lin Qin's eager gaze and smiled, "You are in charge of the money. You can buy whatever you want. Your vision is right."
Lin Qin was a little shy, and mumbled to explain: "I just had nothing to do and thought about this and that, how did that make me think I have good taste?"
Chen Wenjun moved closer to Lin Qin, and whispered in her ear, "Can you marry me if you have poor taste?"
Lin Qin was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She laughed and scolded Chen Wenjun, lightly punching him, "Narcissist!"
Chen Wenjun looked at Lin Qin with fiery eyes, but he didn't dare to do anything because of her belly, so he immediately shifted his attention, "If you have nothing to do at home, you can go to Friendship Square to find your good sister Zhang Shujuan and learn how to make clothes from her. There will be people to talk to you there, and you can also make some clothes for yourself and your children.
When you learn how to sew, we will buy a sewing machine, and then you can make any clothes you want."
Lin Qin didn't take Chen Wenjun's words to heart at first. It was only after Chen Wenjun left that she began to think about it carefully. The more she thought about it, the more she liked this idea.
People say that prenatal education is very important. She can take this opportunity to enroll in a literacy class, go to school, and when she has time, go to Zhang Shujuan to be her apprentice, so that her life can be fulfilling.
Just do it.
The next day Lin Qin went to the city to find a literacy class.
At this time, literacy classes are usually held in the evenings or on weekends, and there are very few classes during working hours. Only the senior citizens' university has classes during normal working hours, and there is only one class.
Lin Qin signed up for the class without thinking twice. She thought that there would be few people coming to learn literacy during this time period, but she didn't expect that the whole classroom was almost full.
Most of the people who are doing literacy work here are in their 50s and 60s. They are really diligent and hardworking. Young people are in the minority. I guess they are all busy making money.
She is a transfer student, but fortunately she has some basic knowledge, so she can keep up.
After two days of attending the literacy class, Lin Qin adapted to the pace of the class and then told her family about it.
After Chen Wenjun found out, he got a bicycle the next day so that Lin Qin didn’t have to walk to class every day.
With this bicycle, Lin Qin can also put learning sewing on the agenda.
Even the hot summer sun cannot stop her enthusiasm for learning.
And with a bicycle, Lin Qin could negotiate the purchase of a storefront by himself.
The original price of the property was around 12,000 yuan, but she bargained hard and got it down to 1,000 yuan. When she got the property certificate, Lin Qin was so excited that the first thing she did after leaving the Land and Resources Bureau was to buy a bunch of delicious food to celebrate with everyone.
Passing by the Municipal Experimental Primary School, she thought about it and decided to go over and wait for her children to finish school together.
I happened to see a large advertisement for summer training classes hanging on a store outside the school gate.
Lin Qin's attention was instantly drawn to the banner on the billboard. She came to her senses and quickly took out a pen and paper from her bag and carefully wrote down the address on it.
After a while, the bell rang.
Lin Qin kept staring at the school gate. The child hadn't come out yet, but Lin Yi arrived first.
Just as she opened her mouth, she saw her two children running towards Lin Yi.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren lowered their heads, talked and laughed, got on their bicycles, and rode very fast.
Lin Qin stopped thinking about calling them and turned to look for the address.
This address is not too far away from the city's experimental primary school, as it can enroll students there.
Lin Qin asked a few people and found a small Western-style building.
She hesitated, not knowing whether to go over and ask, but the woman who was trimming the green belt in the yard saw her first and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Lin Qin quickly read out the address on the paper, "Excuse me, is this a talent training class?"
The woman's eyes lit up, she threw away the big scissors in her hand, and came over excitedly to open the door, "Yes, yes, yes! Are you the parent?"
Lin Qin nodded and smiled awkwardly, "I want to ask what kind of training you have here?"
The woman immediately and warmly invited Lin Qin in. "My last name is Bai, Bai Linlin, and I'm also the person in charge of the training institution."
As they were talking, Lin Qin followed the woman into the hall and saw the eye-catching piano at a glance. There was a violin hanging on the wall next to the piano, a cello on the ground, and other Western musical instruments such as saxophones, tubas, and trumpets, and accordions.
On the opposite side are the antique guzheng, pipa, erhu, bamboo flute, flute, and Xiao, etc.
These are the ones Lin Qin knows, and there are some lesser-known instruments that Lin Qin doesn't know at all.
Bai Linlin asked Lin Qin to sit down and handed her a booklet to read. "What's your name?"
"My last name is Lin."
Bai Linlin called out affectionately, "Sister Lin, what talents do you plan to cultivate for your child? With the reform and opening up in China, children in first-tier cities have started learning various talents early on. Our Anshi is relatively small, and we are the only training institution currently. We can say that we have all the talents you can think of."
Lin Qin was surprised by Bai Linlin's tone and subconsciously asked, "Do you have music, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Bai Linlin's smile deepened, and she nodded heavily, "Of course! You can see that we have many musical instruments here, and there are teachers for some rare instruments, but they are not displayed.
There are two types of calligraphy: hard pen and brush. The teacher is a retired calligraphy professor, whose ability is beyond doubt. There are two types of painting: sketching, Chinese painting, and oil painting. The teacher is a top student from the Academy of Fine Arts, whose ability is also excellent. "
The more Lin Qin listened, the more surprised she became. "I thought you were art students who came here to run a training institution?"
Now it was Bai Linlin's turn to be shocked, "Sister Lin is amazing! You figured this out!"
Bai Linlin said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I studied art, majoring in piano and violin. I studied abroad for a few years and just graduated this year. I came back to teach musical instruments at Anshi Normal College. It's summer vacation now, and I thought I'd set up a training institution anyway, which would also help find a part-time job for the art students in the college.
By the way, here is my information. If you have any doubts, you can go to the Normal College to inquire."
Lin Qin could tell at a glance that Bai Linlin was an ambitious young person who had little experience in the world, so she naturally did not doubt her words.
I asked about the fees and course schedule before leaving.
