Lin Ying looked dazed. "Is this really my house? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"
Lin Qin was happy, "Sister, we spent more than 20,000 yuan on this, we have to see the effect, right?"
Lin Ying grinned and looked around cautiously. When she walked to the sofa, she sat down subconsciously. As a result, the sofa sank inward, which scared her so much that she jumped up. "What's wrong with this chair?"
Lin Qin laughed out loud, "This is a sofa. It's originally like this. In order to match the style of this house, I asked Gao Lei to buy it for me. It's not cheap!"
Now Lin Ying was even more afraid to sit down.
Lin Qin pulled her down and said, "You paid for this, what are you afraid of? Everything in this house is yours. I brought Jian and Kang here to take a look a while ago, and the two kids were so happy that they said they would give this house to you for your retirement and that they would work hard to earn money."
Parents love to hear their children set their aspirations. No matter whether they can succeed or not, at least their children have the intention.
"Really? Then I'll wait for them to get into college for me!" Lin Ying couldn't stop smiling. After calming down, she said, "We are selling clothes quite well in town now, but it's hard to set up a stall. We have to go out in the wind and rain. Plus, Xinyi is getting older. She can't just be carried on the back like she was when she was little. Dahai and I have discussed buying a piece of land in our town and building a house with a store. We can live in town when we have nothing to do. The store is open from morning to night, so we don't have to bother with it.
I am a little hesitant now. Do you think we should build this house? Or should we open a shop in the city to sell clothes? "
Lin Ying had originally been persuaded by Xu Dahai, but after seeing the house here, she hesitated again.
Lin Qin smiled and said, "Why hesitate? Let me put it this way! According to the current trend, your town will take 20 to 30 years to develop. If the land is cheap now and your business is booming, you will definitely buy land there first, build a house and open a store.
There is no shortage of people in the city, but there is no shortage of shops either. It is fine for you to come here to sell clothes, but the competition is fierce. You have to start from scratch, and we can't guarantee that your business will be successful, right?"
Lin Ying understood instantly, "Okay, okay, I know what to do without you telling me. It's just a matter of spending some money! I'll spend it! Anyway, the house is built and I can't run away. That's it!"
The two sisters went shopping again and bought some things. Lin Qin took Lin Ying around to see what clothes were popular in the city now, so she could consider purchasing some.
It was almost dark when the two sisters returned to Nanyu carrying their bags.
The men in the family were busy killing chickens and ducks and processing seafood.
Huang Yuezhen is in charge of cooking and the kitchen is bustling with activity.
Several children came back from the fields and picked a lot of vegetables and fruits, including lychees, mangoes, guavas, and two pineapples.
Lin Qin quickly told the children to wash their hands, and then peeled and washed the fruits.
While helping, Lin Ying sighed, "Dad! My little sister's place is the best. We have everything we want, and we don't have to spend money on food."
"That's right! Almost all the fruit trees here have borne fruit this year, and there are watermelons in the refrigerator! You can take some out to eat, and take some with you when you go back. I know you don't grow these over there."
Lin Yi became happier as he spoke.
Lin Ying didn't bother to be polite with him, and just joked, "Dad! Are you selling these fruits?"
Lin Yi nodded, "Why not? Although we didn't grow much, there were so many varieties. We couldn't finish them all with just a few people at home. The extra ones were all sent to Guoxing Hotel. They prepared a fruit platter or something, which was also considered a dish. There were quite a few people who liked to eat it in the hot summer.
The extra ones are sent to the nursery and given to the children as snacks in the afternoon. Everyone praises our fruits for being delicious. Also, the boat people from Nanxi occasionally come to buy some. We just make some hard-earned money and our business is OK.”
He can save five figures a year by earning from these lands.
Lin Ying understood instantly when she saw Lin Yi's excitement.
As we were talking, the meal was almost ready. It was very rich, mostly consisting of seafood. The old duck soup and chicken soup were still being cooked and would be served as snacks later.
The children are growing and get hungry quickly, so Lin Qin didn't stop them from having midnight snacks.
The lively dinner ended.
The next morning, Lin Ying and Xu Dahai took their little daughter and a bunch of fruits to the bus station to catch a bus.
Lin Qin had almost packed her luggage and met up with Liu Ling to go to Anshi Normal University together.
Although the Demonstration College is in Anshi, it is in the suburbs and opposite to Nanyu. It can be said that Lin Qin has to cross the entire city to get there. Taking a bus is the fastest way. If Chen Wenjun rides an electric tricycle to take her there, it will also be fine.
But Chen Wenjun was too busy. As a seafood wholesaler, he could not take a break easily unless there was a typhoon or other extreme weather, and he could not explain to his customers.
Lin Qin didn't let Chen Wenjun send her off. She took a woven bag and packed a few sets of summer clothes. She then took another bag to pack enamel pots and other daily necessities separately. Then she was ready to set off.
After meeting Liu Ling at the bus station, Lin Qin discovered that she had an outrageous amount of stuff. Her eyes widened instantly, "What are you doing?"
Liu Ling wanted to cry but had no tears. "My grandma insisted that the school environment was not good and asked me to bring all the straw mats from home. I think you can buy them near the school. But she refused and said that I was getting carried away after earning a little money for living expenses. She insisted that I move my family there."
Lin Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly helped her get the luggage onto the bus.
Fortunately, they reported there in advance, and the bus was a short-distance trip, so everyone didn't bring much luggage, otherwise there would be too much space.
After a lot of trouble, the two finally sat down.
Liu Ling was full of anticipation and excitement. She leaned over to Lin Qin's ear and whispered, "Sister, guess how much I made from setting up the stall this month?"
Lin Qin had already noticed that Liu Ling was wearing new clothes, and her shoes were small leather shoes, which were not cheap. "How much?"
Liu Ling suppressed her cheering mood and said modestly, "One thousand six hundred."
Lin Qin immediately gave her a thumbs up. This profit was small compared to Lin Ying and the others, but it was a huge sum of money for Liu Ling who had no experience in making money.
Liu Ling smiled even brighter after receiving Lin Qin's affirmation. "I was also quite shocked after I calculated the accounts. I told my grandmother and parents about the situation. They also found it incredible, but they were mostly relieved. After all, I need living expenses to go to college, and my parents are under a lot of pressure. With this money, they feel much more relaxed.
I have made up my mind. I will set up a stall and sell clothes during the winter vacation to save up living expenses for the next semester."
This fighting spirit makes people happy. Lin Qin couldn't help but say: "You are the same age as Liu Li, and you grew up together. Why is she so far behind?" (End of this chapter)
