"I was happy when you said we were happy." Xiao Shanhe looked at her with a smile.

Shen Huanxi lowered his head.

"When you said I was a good man, I heard some of it," Xiao Shanhe added.

Shen Huanxi didn't dare to raise his head.

She was very angry. Did he do this on purpose? There was no sound even after everyone arrived. She turned around and went back to the store.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I thought you were going to some factory today. You didn't even tell me during lunch."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh--" As soon as Shen Huanxi finished speaking, a strong wind blew up with sand and dust.

She placed the stamps on the table and before she could put them away, several of them were scratched away.

Fortunately, her table was some distance away from the door and was not blown outside the door, but Wang Mudan was in a terrible situation.

Wang Mudan hung so many paintings outside the store and also put a table on which to stack many paintings. When the wind blew, the silk and rice paper paintings were blown away.

Xiao Shanhe entered Shen Huanxi's store first, took a look outside the store entrance, and after finding that no stamps were blown out, he closed the door and helped Shen Huanxi pick up the stamps that were blown to the ground, closed the drawers under the shelves, and closed the glass doors of the shelves.

That way, no matter how hard the wind blew, it couldn't blow her stamps away.

Shen Huanxi turned on the lights in the store and checked the stamps that had just been blown to the ground. After making sure that they were not dirty or damaged, he felt relieved and put them into the drawer.

She thought of something and opened the shop door. A gust of wind carrying dust blew in again. The outside was also full of dust. The sight was out of sight more than five meters away. Wang Mudan was busy at the door of her own shop.

Shen Huanxi didn't care about the dust outside. She asked Xiao Shanhe to help her close the shop door to prevent the dust from blowing in. She wanted to go help Wang Mudan.

"If you carry the paintings in like this, they will be more likely to be damaged by the wind. Bring out a small stool and put it on the paintings, and we will push the table in together." Amid the whistling wind, Shen Huanxi shouted loudly, as if afraid that Wang Mudan couldn't hear him.

Wang Mudan was stunned at first, but reacted quickly. She asked her to help press down the painting, and then she went into the house and brought out a stool and put it on the painting on the table as she asked.

After the two women finished pressing the paintings and were thinking about pushing the table in together, Shen Huanxi suddenly had a pair of big hands on his side.

"You two go over there and lift that side together, and I'll lift this side. The floor here is very rough and has a lot of friction. It's difficult to push it in. It's faster if you lift it." Xiao Shanhe said after grabbing this side of the table.

"You..." Shen Huanxi wanted to ask why he came out, but now the situation was urgent. Seeing that all of Wang Mudan's paintings were about to be blown away, he had no time to say anything.

The two women followed Xiao Shanhe's instructions and walked to the other side of the table and lifted it up together.

The table doesn't weigh that much. It's mainly because Wang Mudan was in a hurry to do business, so she stacked a thick layer of paintings on the table, so the weight is only on this part.

Fortunately, three people were able to lift it together.

The two women didn't know where Xiao Shanhe got the strength from. It was a bit strenuous for them to lift one side, but Xiao Shanhe, a man sitting in a wheelchair, could easily lift the table on the other side with one hand.

The three of them quickly carried a table full of paintings into the house. The moment Xiao Shanhe entered the room, he half-closed the door. The wind blowing into the store instantly became much smaller, and the paintings hanging on the walls of the store were no longer blown around.

The table was carried into the house. Shen Huanxi asked Wang Mudan not to move the small stool that was pressing on the painting, and then ran out to help her move in the other paintings hanging outside. Xiao Shanhe was asked to come out quickly to help.

As the shop owner, Wang Mudan, Shen Huanxi and Xiao Shanhe were busy helping her move the paintings, so she naturally couldn't be idle and also went in and out, moving the paintings as quickly as possible.

In fact, Shen Huanxi did not think so much. Wang Mudan had a weird personality, low EQ, and her words were unpleasant, but their two stores were next to each other, and they would do business here together in the future, and they would see each other every day. Mudan encountered a difficult problem today. If she stood by and watched today, the two of them would inevitably be embarrassed when they met in the future, so it was better to do this favor.

The three of them worked together for a long time before they finally moved all of Wang Mudan's paintings hanging outside into the house. The two women were both out of breath and hurriedly closed all the shop doors to keep the wind and sand out.

Wang Mudan blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you...thank you both." She said stiffly.

Shen Huanxi smiled and shook his head.

"You don't have to thank me. If I had come here alone, I wouldn't have been able to help much. Fortunately, my husband is here. He helped us move quickly. You can check first to see how many of the paintings you just hung outside are damaged."

"Okay." Wang Mudan went to check the painting.

She moved in herself and brought in the paintings. Many of them were wrinkled, but these were minor problems. What made her sad was that several of the more expensive paintings were blown away.

The bigger the painting, the easier it is to sell it for a good price. In order to boost her business and make her shop more lively than Shen Huanxi's, she hung those better and more expensive paintings outside. No one could have expected that such a strong storm would suddenly blow.

"The sandstorms here in the northwest are really strong, and they always come without warning. If you really can't take it anymore, don't hang your paintings outside to sell. You are not like me. My man is by my side. If I have any problems, he will come to help me.

Your man is out there making money all day, he has no time to take care of you, no time to care about you, if anything happens to you he won't be able to come back to help you in time, you still have to be careful." Shen Huanxi thought of what Wang Mudan had just said to her, and said with a smile.

Wang Mudan's face turned red again. She knew that Shen Huanxi was slapping her in the face, but Shen Huanxi and his wife had just helped her so much, she couldn't just repay kindness with hatred.

The wind was still blowing outside, accompanied by the sound of something being blown down and damaged. Shen Huanxi and the others did not dare to open the door of Wang Mudan's shop, for fear that the wind would come in again and damage her paintings. They could only wait until the wind died down before going out.

"Sister Wang, why don't you frame these paintings before hanging them up? You painted these paintings very well. Look at how many of them have been damaged by the wind today. What a pity.

You're just looking after the shop by yourself, unlike a man like me who can take care of you. If we don't have time to help you in the future, what will you do if the paintings in your shop are blown away by the wind? Might as well frame it first. "Shen Huanxi suggested.

Wang Mudan couldn't tell whether Shen Huanxi's words were a deliberate response to her or a mockery of her, or whether he was just sincerely offering a suggestion. But no matter what, Shen Huanxi's suggestion was indeed a good one.

Besides, Shen Huanxi came to praise her paintings. If she took Shen Huanxi's words as a mockery and retorted, she would appear to be petty.

"Okay, then I'll hang up the framed paintings in the future, and I'll put the unframed ones in the container." Wang Mudan said, "Thank you both for your hard work today."

"It's okay. It's not hard. I'm not tired anyway. I don't have to do anything at home usually. My husband does all the housework. I'm just worried about having nothing to do, so I want to stretch my muscles. Sometimes it's a problem when a man cares too much about himself. Why am I telling you all this? Your man is busy making money. You may not have the same worries as me." Shen Huanxi said while holding back a laugh.

Wang Mudan: “…”

Why did she feel that Shen Huanxi did it on purpose? But what could she do? Shen Huanxi was telling the truth.

Shen Huanxi almost laughed out loud. She just wanted to see Wang Mudan feeling uncomfortable but not daring to talk back to her.

Of course, she was not the kind of person who liked to quibble. If Wang Mudan said something to her, it would be enough for her to mock Wang Mudan. There was no need to seize on any single point and make fun of her.

The wind was still blowing outside and she couldn't go out, so she went to help Wang Mudan sort out her words.

Fortunately, the wind did not last long. After they sorted out the damaged paintings, the wind stopped and the couple left Wang Mudan's shop.

"Shanhe, you haven't answered my question just now, and I forgot about it. Why did you suddenly come to me?"

"I was just about to go to the machinery factory, but I saw someone selling roasted sweet potatoes on the way. They smelled delicious, so I wanted to buy one for you to try. I wrapped it in a cloth, so it should still be warm. I just left it in your store. Go back and try it."

"Okay!" Shen Huanxi nodded. She loved eating roasted sweet potatoes the most.

The two men walked out of Wang Mudan's shop without saying anything else, but Wang Mudan could hear the couple's conversation clearly.

Wang Mudan pursed her lips. Her man had never been so considerate before.

Shen Huanxi walked into his own shop and saw the cloth bag that Xiao Shanhe had placed on the table.

She went over and opened it, and smelled the sweet scent of baked potatoes.

"See if it's cold. If it's cold, we won't eat it. There was such a strong sandstorm just now, and there shouldn't be much business now. Since you're free, I'll take you to buy something hot." Xiao Shanhe said after taking a look at the roasted sweet potato.

Shen Huanxi shook his head.

"It's still hot, no need to remove it. The skin is just a little wet, but it won't affect anything." Shen Huanxi took a look at the thin roasted skin and peeled it off with his hands. The golden and soft sweet potato flesh looked like it was added with honey, and the fragrance was even sweeter.

She couldn't wait to take a bite, and the sweet aroma of the roasted sweet potatoes spread on her tongue.

She has loved eating roasted sweet potatoes since she was a child, especially those roasted in the most primitive way from roadside stalls.

But in her previous life, she was busy making money and only ate at dinners with business partners. It had been a long time since she had experienced the feeling of eating what she wanted to eat alone.

Especially after Chang'an Changning passed away, she had even less interest in food and drink. I remember that she hadn't had a good roasted sweet potato for decades.

Shen Huanxi's eyes suddenly became moist. In order to prevent Xiao Shanhe from noticing that there was anything wrong with her, she held back her tears and went back to pretend nothing had happened.

"Do you want to eat too?" In order to appear more natural, Shen Huanxi asked Xiao Shanhe.

Moreover, these were the roasted sweet potatoes that Xiao Shanhe bought for her. She was eating them by herself without even greeting him, which seemed particularly impolite.

But after asking this question, she was suddenly stunned.

She only had one baked sweet potato in her hand, which she had already bitten. How could she ask Xiao Shanhe this question? Could she take out a second sweet potato to share with Xiao Shanhe?

Shen Huanxi just felt numb for a moment. She was really confused to ask such a question so carelessly.

But Xiao Shanhe suddenly looked at her, smiled and nodded.

"I'll eat."

Shen Huanxi: “…”

She looked at the half-bitten roast potato in her hand and stood there in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Xiao Shanhe looked at her and smiled.

"I said I would eat it. I also want to taste the roasted sweet potato."

"Here...here." Shen Huanxi gritted his teeth and handed over the roasted sweet potato.

Xiao Shanhe did not take the baked sweet potato directly from her hand. Instead, he took a bite of the baked sweet potato where she had bitten it and where a row of small tooth marks were left.

When Shen Huanxi saw this scene, he felt as if he was fixed by something. He stood stiffly, not knowing what to do next.

"It's delicious, soft, sweet and juicy. Would you like another bite?" Xiao Shanhe said after taking a bite of the roasted sweet potato.

Shen Huanxi looked at the roasted sweet potato that he had bitten, feeling at a loss as to what to do.

Should she eat it or not?

If she ate it, then she would be biting the place that Xiao Shanhe had just bitten.

But if she didn't eat, it would seem like she was rejecting Xiao Shanhe.

Eat, eat, she still eats! Xiao Shanhe doesn't mind her saliva, why should she mind him?

In front of Xiao Shanhe, Shen Huanxi took a bite at the place where he had just bitten. At the moment she bit down, she felt her whole body was burning, her heartbeat was accelerating, until she felt her ears were burning...

Xiao Shanhe saw her blushing face and smiled again.

“I want to have another bite.”

"..." Shen Huanxi's face was already burning with heat. After hearing what he said, she had no choice but to pass the roasted sweet potato over.

Xiao Shanhe bit the row of small teeth marks she had just left.

"Xiao Shen, do you have anything here..." Wang Mudan ran over from her shop and called Shen Huanxi. Before she could finish her words, she saw Shen Huanxi feeding Xiao Shanhe roasted sweet potatoes, and her voice stopped abruptly.

…

When the sandstorm came, Shen Huanxi's shop closed quickly, and not much sand blew into the house. She and Xiao Shanhe cleaned the shop quickly, and they continued their business the next day.

Not long after she opened the door, her colleagues came to visit her according to the address she gave them, and no one forgot to talk about yesterday's sandstorm.

"I'm just waiting for the next spring when we can plant trees. I've heard that Xiao Shen has done a lot of great things in our publicity department recently. The results should be apparent by next spring."

"Of course, so many people have taken the tree seeds home, and some have already signed up to receive the saplings that will be distributed next spring. When the time comes, the people will go back and plant trees on their own initiative. In a few years, the area around Yunnan City will be covered with green trees, and the sandstorms like yesterday will become less and less frequent. Don't you agree, Xiao Shen?"

"Of course." Shen Huanxi nodded.

Not to mention that the method she came up with of letting the common people take the tree seedlings and plant them back home was very effective. In the previous life, the Three Norths Project was doing well even without her.

All I can say is that with her presence here, after she comes back with the memories of her past life, the Three Norths Project will proceed more smoothly and at a faster pace.

Shen Huanxi also wants to see the Northwest covered with green trees sooner, and wants to eliminate sandstorms in this land sooner.

"Well, let's talk about next year's affairs next year. I was just worried whether the wind yesterday blew into Xiao Shen's store. Xiao Shen, aren't you in the stamp business? Did your stamps not blow away?" Dong Zhenxiong asked.

Shen Huanxi shook his head.

"No, most of my stamps are in drawers and cabinets, where they can't be blown away."

After she said this, her colleagues felt relieved.

At this time, someone wanted to come in to sell stamps. Several of Shen Huanxi's colleagues saw that Shen Huanxi paid several times more than the face value to buy back the stamps, and they were all worried about her, fearing that she would lose money.

Soon after, we saw her selling the stamps she had just recycled for a higher price than the recycling price, and everyone felt relieved again.

After looking around in her shop for a while, everyone was sure that Shen Huanxi would make steady profits in this business and they didn't have to worry about anything.

They told him not to worry and they were even surprised that Shen Huanxi could make so much money.

"When I was working with her, I found that Xiao Shen was very smart and had more ideas than me. At that time, I said that she was born to be a publicity person. Now I find that Xiao Shen is not just a publicity person. She can do so well in publicity because she is very smart."

"That's right. If I hadn't seen her doing the business with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that making money was so easy."

Everyone was moved.

"Do you want to make stamps? If you also want to make money from this, I can guide you." Shen Huanxi said.

Who doesn't love money? Even if she is like this, reborn and puts Chang'an and Changning first, and no longer cares about money, she will still think about making money and take action, not to mention her colleagues.

The most important thing is that they came to play with her today and have seen with their own eyes how good she is at making money, so there is a high possibility that they will be tempted.

The current stamp market has already formed a certain scale and is becoming more and more mature. It is no longer as profitable as it was in the beginning. Shen Huanxi is afraid that they will lose money if they make stamps themselves. She will feel bad about that, so it is better for her to take the lead.

"You want to take us with you? Okay, Xiao Shen, I want to make money too!" Li Shaohua said first.

Most of the publicity staff in the publicity department are men, only Shen Huanxi and Li Shaohua are women. The relationship between the two is better, and Li Shaohua has nothing to be embarrassed about. She also regards Shen Huanxi as a friend, so she did not hide her desire to make money.

"In fact, making stamps is neither easy nor difficult. It is actually quite simple. You just need to stock up stamps at low prices. You can buy them at the post office or from the stamp stalls in front of the post office. You can stock up on stamps and wait for the price to go up. When the price goes up, you can sell them. To put it simply, buy low and sell high.

But you can’t just buy blindly, because the price of stamps can go up and down. If you buy stamps from the stalls in front of the post office, the price may drop after you buy them. The safest way is to buy stamps at the face value at the post office when they are issued. This is a sure win, but it will take a longer time for the price to rise…”

Shen Huanxi patiently explained to them the methods of speculating in stamps.

She is a relatively selfish person, and she certainly doesn't want her way of making money to be imitated by more people.

But in this day and age, there are so many people speculating in stamps, and more and more people will join in. It won’t make much if her colleagues are added or removed, and it won’t make much either.

If others can make money speculating in stamps, why can't her colleagues?

Stamp speculation is not her only way to make money, and it is impossible for her to make money only by speculating in stamps.

She shared her stock trading method with her colleagues so that everyone could make money together and it wouldn't affect her at all.

What she hopes to see more is that her colleagues in the Three Norths Project can also earn money and live a better life. Most of them are passionate about contributing to the motherland's beautiful mountains and clear waters. She doesn't want them to live such a hard life.

To put it bluntly, Shen Huanxi doesn't want to see another Yue Danqing appear among her colleagues.

Nowadays, those who go into business or run small businesses can make a lot of money and live a better life. People like her colleagues who are dedicated to the country are more qualified to live a richer life, and I think they deserve it.

Li Shaohua and the others stood quietly by and listened very carefully, writing down every word.

"But the stamp market is just like the stock market in other countries. We all went to school and we all know about stocks. Stocks go up and down, and they don't always go up.

So when you are hoarding stamps, don’t be impulsive and hoard too much. In short, if you want to expand in the future, come and ask me first, and I will help you with the advice.” Shen Huanxi taught them the method and then reminded them.

Everyone nodded.

Shen Huanxi taught them while doing business, letting them see how she operated, and everyone learned very seriously.

After a busy morning, it was almost time for lunch, so she said goodbye to them, closed the shop, and rode her bike home.

As soon as she turned from Nanjing Road into the alley leading back to Guixiang Village, she heard what seemed to be people arguing in front of her, and several children passed by her, running quickly.

"There's a fight! There's a fight! Let's go watch the fight!" a child shouted.

Shen Huanxi was delighted to see the looks of these children, and thought to herself that after returning home, she would have to teach her four children well and not let them become the kind of people who like to watch the excitement.

It was fine to watch other lively things, but what if you were injured accidentally while watching a fight? Especially in Chang'an and Changning, there were two young girls there, so it was even more dangerous to join in the lively things.

Shen Huanxi thought so in his heart and had no intention of joining in the excitement to watch the fight, but suddenly he heard Jiang Xiaomei's voice in the noisy sound.

This is a big deal. She won't go to watch if other people are making a fuss, but if something happens to her friends, she can't just ignore it.

Shen Huanxi stopped riding her bike after entering the alley. She was afraid of hitting a child, so she pushed her bike inside. When she heard Jiang Xiaomei's voice, she got on her bike again and sped up to rush over.

Jiang Xiaomei and Luo Bo were fighting! Shen Huanxi recognized the quarrel after she listened to the noise for a while.

Shen Huanxi had reminded Jiang Xiaomei to check on Luo Bo. Now the couple was fighting. Could it be that Jiang Xiaomei had found out that Luo Bo had someone else outside?
