Chapter 66: People from Hometown
Li Qiang thought it was just a casual chat, so he didn't think much about it. He smiled innocently and spoke.
"We don't have any skills, and we haven't thought about what to do."
"yes."
Mother Li also smiled and took over the conversation.
"Before, we set up stalls to sell midnight snacks in other places, and the child's father is a good cook. Now Beijing is not allowed to set up stalls, and the child is still young, so he doesn't want to go out and mess around."
"Then have you ever thought about opening a store in Jing City?"
Seeing this, Qin Shuhe hurriedly asked.
After hearing this, Li's mother couldn't help but exclaim.
"How dare I think about that? The storefronts in Beijing are too expensive."
"How about this! We have a storefront near Tongshu Hutong, but we don't need it normally, so we'll give it to you to open a store."
Mr. Lin downplayed the matter and was about to settle it.
Li Qiang was so shocked that he quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"How can that be possible? The annual rent for a small store over there is quite a bit. We don't want to receive anything without doing anything, so how can we take your store?"
"Nephew, just listen to me. The store is useless if it's just there, and we can't take care of it. It just so happens that you are close to home, so it's better to do something on your own than to work for others."
Old Master Lin smiled and looked at Li Changan again.
"Changan, please persuade your parents. It's just a store. Compared with our grandson, it's nothing."
"Yes, Third Brother. You can persuade your uncle and aunt to open a shop of your own so that you don't have to run around outside."
As the eldest brother, Lin Huaizhi also felt sorry for his younger brother who had to grow up away from home and suffer a lot.
Lin Huaian also nodded in agreement. Li Changan had just started getting along with his two brothers, and for the time being he felt that they were a pretty good match.
They were very considerate to him when talking and eating, so he was not so averse to going back to the Lin family.
He thought about it and felt that his parents should take over the shop. After all, they have raised me for more than 20 years, and they deserve such kindness.
Li Changan looked at Li's father and was about to speak, but Li's father quickly waved his hand.
"Chang'an, we can't accept it. If we accept it, wouldn't that be asking for repayment? Then what kind of people would we be?"
Mr. Lin was very satisfied with Mr. Li's attitude, saying he had a good character and was not greedy. If it were a greedy person, he would definitely hold on to the Lin family.
"Nephew, do you think this will work?"
Mr. Lin said slowly.
"I'll give you that store to use first. When you make money later, we'll settle the accounts, okay?"
Father Li was a little moved when he heard this. The couple looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
It is true that Mr. Li’s cooking skills are very good, but he has no capital, so he has to work outside. Mr. Li's dream was to open a restaurant, so he is inevitably overjoyed now.
"Hahahahaha, a family should be so straightforward. Qingtang, arrange things in the next two days."
Mr. Lin seemed very happy and turned to give instructions to Lin Qingtang.
Lin Qingtang looked at his father in amazement. Dad, we don’t have a store in Tongshu Hutong, how come he doesn’t know?
Mr. Lin felt he couldn't bear to look at his silly son. You fool, can't you buy it now? Can't you get it done in a few days?
The glances between father and son flashed by. Although it was the first time for everyone to meet, they all had a good impression of each other. In addition, both families were willing to show goodwill, so the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Once things were talked out, no one had any reservations. At the table, everyone was chatting and laughing, and both hosts and guests enjoyed the meal very much.
When they parted, Lin's mother and Qin Shuhe looked at Li Changsheng reluctantly as he left with the Li family. Lele also chattered and made an appointment with Anran to visit her when she had time.
.......
Two days later.
An Guodong came to An Ran with a smile on his face.
"Ran Ran, your cousin and his friends are here. Let's go to the station to pick them up."
"OK."
An Ran was also very happy to hear this, and An Ning was even more excited, like a monkey, clamoring to go together. The father, his two sons and his daughter drove a business car to the station.
Just after the three of them arrived, three tall young men came out of the station. When An Ning saw them, she immediately waved to them.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, we are here."
Yadong and the other two looked around as they walked. When they saw An Ning, their faces lit up with joy and they quickly walked out of the station.
"Hello, uncle, Ranran, Ning'er."
The three of them ran over with excited smiles on their faces.
An Guodong took the luggage from several people and greeted them with a smile.
"Okay, okay, are your parents home?"
Yadong was lively and responded immediately.
"Uncle, my dad and my second uncle are so busy every day that you can hardly see them. Especially my dad, he is so proud now, and his steps make a clanging sound."
"That's good. Come on, let's go home."
An Guodong and An Ran brought a few people to the parking lot. There is no man who doesn't love cars. When the three saw such a luxurious business car, their eyes sparkled.
"Wow, this car is really impressive."
"That's right. I want to buy such a magnificent car in the future."
"You're dreaming. You can't even buy a wheel."
The three of them walked around the car laughingly, and after getting in, they looked around curiously.
Anran got into the driver's seat, started the car, and slowly drove out.
"Of course, you can actually drive."
Yanan had a look of shock on his face. He didn't expect that it was this gentle cousin who drove to pick them up.
An Ran pursed her lips and smiled.
"Brother, I took the driving test when I was working outside."
"Of course, you are amazing."
Yadong also looked at Anran with envy. An Ning looked at her sister with a look of boasting on her face.
"That's right, my sister is the best."
"Haha, Ning'er is really good at talking. Third brother, you can also go and get a driver's license in the future. It will definitely be useful in the future."
Our family’s conditions were average before, and we had never thought about buying a car. So, none of my three cousins have ever taken a driving test.
"Well, that's a must."
Several people started chatting and laughing. An Guodong looked at them with a smile on his face, feeling particularly happy. An Ran didn't interrupt again and concentrated on driving.
Soon, the car carrying several people arrived at the Lin family's old house. Yanan and the other two looked at the spacious courtyard where unknown flowers and plants were growing lushly.
A large retro villa stood before them, and the three of them could hardly believe their eyes.
This, this house is too big! Before they came, they had inquired about the housing prices in Beijing. How much would such a big house with a garden be worth?
Several people were a little dumbfounded when they thought about it. They could forget about it in this life and it would not be possible in the next life.
The three of them became more cautious and determined to follow Lin Waigong's instructions.
They carefully followed An Guodong into the gate. The three of them felt a little uneasy, lowering their heads and not daring to look around.
An Ran couldn't help but chuckle when she saw how nervous her three brothers were.
"Haha, don't be nervous. Grandpa and grandma are very nice people and they like you very much."
Lin's mother, daughter and Qin Shuhe, who were sitting and chatting in the living room, stood up to greet them when they saw them come in.
"Hey, we have guests at home."
Mother Lin showed a kind smile on her face, walked over and held Yadong's hand, then looked at Yanan and Yahui and asked.
"Are you tired? When did you go out yesterday?"
Lin Qingwan and Qin Shuhe also greeted them with smiles on their faces.
"Come and have a rest, you must have had a hard time on the road."
Yanan and the other two smiled innocently and greeted Lin's mother and the other two obediently.
Several people sat down on the sofa one after another. Yanan and the other two looked at such a luxurious and grand sofa and were a little afraid to sit down. They just hung half of their buttocks on it.
"Just feel like you're at home when you come here. Don't feel restrained."
Mother Lin looked at the three of them with a smile. As she got older, she liked energetic young people and felt happy just looking at them.
