Song Chen left at dawn. When Lin Lu woke up, the pillow next to him was already cold.
Li Xianglian had the same question as Lin Lu last night: "Why didn't you tell Xiaochen in advance that he was going to Shanghai? I didn't prepare anything for him. What if he gets hungry in the car?"
Although conditions are better now, I am still used to bringing dry food when traveling long distances, just like before.
Lin Lu persuaded: "He brought money with him. He will buy food when he is hungry. Don't worry, he is not the kind of person who will starve himself."
Li Xianglian muttered, "You're relieved, but you don't even know how to be considerate of your man."
Lin Lu was inconsolable. How could she be considerate to him since he made such a fuss last night?
If this isn't love, then she might as well work herself to death.
"Why do you act like a wicked mother-in-law? Which of us is your biological child?"
"What are you talking about? If you weren't my biological child, you would be scolded to death for sleeping until this time every day and still having food to eat." Li Xianglian joked.
Lin Lu: "Okay, then you can live with your own son. I will go to Shanghai someday and live alone. That's what I call comforting."
Li Xianglian was sewing shoe soles nearby, and the needle tip scratched her hair.
"Hurry up and eat. Why don't you go to Shanghai alone? By the way, why did Xiaochen go to Shanghai?"
Lin Lu drank the porridge in small sips. Li Xianglian liked to put some noodles in the porridge when she cooked it. It tasted pretty good. The noodles were already soft and mixed with the porridge to become a paste.
"The custom-made machine is ready, and he's going to take a look."
"Machine? What machine?" Li Xianglian had never heard the two of them talk about this.
"A juice-squeezing machine." Lin Lu replied.
"What? You want to open another factory?" Li Xianglian was surprised.
"We have this plan. We want to open a beverage factory. We already have our own orchard, so we can build an entire industry chain."
Li Xianglian: "Can you handle it?"
The orchard and brick factory are already so busy, if we open another one, we will be extremely busy.
Lin Lu: "Hire someone."
Being a boss should still be able to handle the busyness.
Li Xianglian has a limited vision and her thinking is still old-fashioned - living together as a family and having food and drink every day is her ideal in life.
"As long as the money is enough, why earn so much? I'm busy working all day and don't even have time to rest."
Li Xianglian felt that her family was rich enough. They had no worries about food and clothing and could buy whatever they wanted. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the richest person in town.
There is really no need to open another factory.
Lin Lu: "Who would complain about having too much money?"
"I think you are just too careless." Li Xianglian commented.
"Just tell me how proud you are. You are the richest old lady among your friends." Lin Lu laughed at her.
Li Xianglian: "Why should I be so proud? I'm happy when you guys are doing well."
Lin Lu also runs a cram school. I don’t know how the two of them have so much energy.
Wouldn't it be nice to just play mahjong like everyone else?
Lin Lu: "Anyway, don't worry about the factory. He has his own plans. Just live your life well."
"Why should I worry? I just feel bad for Xiaochen who doesn't have any time to rest. He looks listless."
Lin Lu: "What are you talking about? The last time we went back to school to pick up Lin Jingbei, the girls praised him for being handsome. How can he look listless? Isn't thirty the age to strive for success?"
Li Xianglian: "He's handsome, but he feels a little different from the others."
"I'm done eating. I'm going out for a while." Lin Lu took the dishes to the kitchen.
"What are you going out for?" Li Xianglian asked again.
Lin Lu poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Talk to Teacher Han and see if I can recruit her to tutor the students with me."
"Isn't Teacher Han teaching? He definitely won't come over."
Who would give up a good and stable job to become a tutor?
Li Li Xianglian had the same idea as most people, that being a teacher in a school was the more respectable and stable option.
Although tutoring can earn a lot of money, it is not stable.
Lin Lu briefly told her about Teacher Han's experience, and Li Xianglian immediately turned hostile. "How could this be? It's so shameless! These people should just be their own bosses and not have to worry about other people's feelings."
Social etiquette is important everywhere in society, and schools are no exception.
Lin Lu laughed at her for flipping through the pages faster than she changed her expression. "Okay, I'll call Song Chen."
It was already past ten o'clock. Song Chen had just got on the train when he received a call from Lin Lu. His smile was brighter than a flower.
"What's wrong, Lin Lulu? I've only been away for half a day, and you miss me so much?" He sounded a little proud.
Lin Lu: "Did you get on the train?"
"Well, I just sat down. How are you? Are you feeling well? If it hurts, the ointment is here..."
Lin Lu interrupted cruelly: "Ahem, it doesn't hurt. Um, do you have Officer Qin's phone number? I want to ask if Teacher Han is free today. I want to go talk to her."
Song Chen: "Yes, wait a moment." Two minutes later, the call came back: "Lao Qin said that Teacher Han agreed to meet you at the first hot pot restaurant in Lao Street."
"Now?"
Song Chen: "Yes, Lao Qin said that Teacher Han will be leaving soon."
Lin Lu: No, you two men, why would you meet at a hotpot restaurant in the middle of the day?
"Isn't the hot pot restaurant good? Their hot pot is delicious."
"Okay, got it. I'm going out too."
Song Chen bought a sleeper berth, but it was boring to stay alone.
"Well, you can talk while you walk and chat for five more bucks."
