Gu Bei was organizing documents in the room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He scanned the doorway and saw that Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing had returned, so he quickly walked to the door and opened it from the inside.
"Young Master, Madam, you're back!"
Upon seeing Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun, Gu Bei said with a look of surprise and delight.
Gu Nanxun nodded, then pulled Lin Qing towards the backyard.
"Qingqing, Nanxun, Yunfeng, you're back!"
Dong Xiulan went to the kitchen to get food for the children and bumped into the three of them returning from outside. She asked them with a look of surprise.
"Mom, we're back!"
Upon seeing Dong Xiulan, Lin Qing quickly stepped forward, grabbed Dong Xiulan's arm, and said with a smile.
"You just got off the bus, right? Are you hungry? Mom will make you something to eat."
Dong Xiulan glanced at Lin Qing beside her, then at Gu Nanxun and Lin Yunfeng, and thought to herself, "Not bad, these three children are in good spirits. It seems they haven't suffered much!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom!"
Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, dumplings for those who got on the bus, noodles for those who got off. Mom will make you noodles!"
Dong Xiulan happily went to the kitchen and began kneading the dough.
"Mom, do you need my help?"
Lin Qing followed Dong Xiulan into the kitchen and said with a smile.
Dong Xiulan smiled and pushed Lin Qing out, "What help do you need? Hurry up and get out. It's just a few bowls of noodles, you don't need to help. Go wash up and change your clothes, and come over for dinner in a bit!"
Lin Qing didn't insist. She followed Dong Xiulan's lead, left the kitchen, and returned to the bedroom.
After returning to the bedroom, she and Gu Nanxun took a quick shower, changed their clothes, and headed to the dining room.
When Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun arrived at the restaurant, Dong Xiulan had already served steaming hot noodles. Lin Yunfeng was also already seated at the table, waiting for them to eat together.
"Mom, you've worked so hard!"
Seeing Dong Xiulan busy, Gu Nanxun smiled and said.
"It's alright, it's good that you're back. Sit down and have some noodles!"
Dong Xiulan smiled and waved her hand, gesturing for them to sit down.
The three sat around the dining table, the aroma of the noodles made by Dong Xiulan was irresistible and made them very hungry.
Lin Qing picked up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks, blew on it to cool it down, and then put it in her mouth. The noodles were chewy and the broth was delicious, making her exclaim, "Mom, your noodles are still so delicious!"
"Silly children, it's not that delicious. You're just hungry."
Upon hearing Lin Qing's praise, Dong Xiulan's face lit up with a bright smile.
Gu Nanxun and Lin Yunfeng also ate the noodles with gusto.
"Mom, you don't know, we bought a lot of things this time. I also bought a refrigerator, washing machine, TV, and electric fan for the house. When we move over there, we'll have appliances to use."
Lin Yunfeng had just finished eating when he couldn't wait to share it with Dong Xiulan.
"Did you buy so much? Was it expensive? Do you have any money left?"
Upon hearing Lin Yunfeng say that he had bought so many things, Dong Xiulan couldn't help but express her concern.
"This is nothing! Don't forget we went to buy goods this time. Besides these, I also bought 500 pieces of clothing and 100 watches."
Upon hearing Dong Xiulan mention that she had bought a lot of things, Lin Yunfeng couldn't help but proudly boast.
"500 pieces of clothing, 100 watches... Can you sell them all? What if you can't?"
Hearing Lin Yunfeng's words, Dong Xiulan said with a worried expression.
"Mom, don't worry! Think about how many people there are in Beijing right now! And how many clothes are there in department stores? Don't worry, we definitely won't have trouble selling them."
Seeing how worried Dong Xiulan was, Lin Qing didn't dare to reveal the quantity she had bought. Instead, she smiled and comforted her, then couldn't help but glare at her third brother, Lin Yunfeng.
Lin Yunfeng realized he had accidentally said the wrong thing, and he touched his nose sheepishly. "You guys chat, I'll go check on Xixi in the backyard!"
"Qingqing, is it really possible to sell it?"
Seeing Lin Yunfeng leave, Dong Xiulan couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Mom, the clothes in Guangzhou are especially beautiful and cheap. The wholesale price of a piece of clothing is only 8 yuan. Even if we sell them for 15 yuan, they are still cheaper than the clothes in the department store. And there are so many people in Guangzhou. Even if we only sell half of them, we will still break even. How can we not sell them? If we really can't sell them, we will sell them at cost price of 8 yuan. At that time, a lot of people will rush to buy them. Anyway, no matter what, we will not lose money."
To reassure Dong Xiulan, Lin Qing patiently explained to her.
Hearing Lin Qing's explanation, Dong Xiulan felt relieved. Her daughter was right. If they really couldn't sell them, they could sell them for 8 yuan a piece. At that price, a lot of people would definitely rush to buy them, and they definitely wouldn't lose money.
"Qingqing, how was your trip to Guangzhou? Was it fun?"
After thinking it through, Dong Xiulan stopped worrying and took the initiative to ask Lin Qing.
"Mom, Guangzhou is much more developed than Beijing. We even went shopping in Guangzhou this time. Those shopping malls are much bigger than the department stores here. And I also bought gifts for you and Dad!"
Lin Qing sat down next to Dong Xiulan and said with a smile.
"You're such a spendthrift! What kind of gifts are you going to buy for me and your dad?!"
Dong Xiulan looked at Lin Qing with affection, her heart filled with relief.
"Mom, what are you saying? I'm your daughter, and I'm buying you gifts. What's wrong with that? Besides, it's nothing expensive, just clothes, but they're for the current season. The goods we received this time are for autumn, and what I bought for you are for now. But I've put all these clothes with our goods, and I'll give them to you when they arrive."
Lin Qing hugged Dong Xiulan's arm and said in a coquettish tone.
"Speaking of goods, how did you get them back?"
Upon hearing Lin Qing mention the goods, Dong Xiulan asked curiously.
“It was one of Nanxun’s friends who drove a truck to bring it back to us.”
Lin Qing explained with a smile.
"Then you should really thank them."
Dong Xiulan nodded knowingly. She knew that her son-in-law's friend was also capable. When her daughter and her family returned from Heilongjiang Province two years ago, it was her son-in-law's friend who brought back their belongings.
"Mom, don't worry! Brother Nanxun knows what he's doing."
Lin Qing smiled and patted Dong Xiulan's arm.
"Of course Mom is relieved, Nanxun is a good boy..."
...
The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer, then Lin Qing helped tidy up the tableware, while Dong Xiulan went to prepare some fruit and snacks.
"Let's go to the backyard and check on the children. They were hungry earlier, so let's get them some snacks!"
