Chapter 24 Encountering Bai Jun and Qin Lan



After leaving the post office, they saw someone selling popsicles nearby, so Jiang Yiyi bought three, one for her and Yueyue, one for Gu Yunchi and 꽭꽭, and one for Gu's mother.

Mother Gu was reluctant to eat it, and wanted to take it back to Gu Yunyang and Gu Yuncan, but the ice cream melted quickly, so she quickly took a bite, and the chill went straight to her heart. Seeing that it was not the direction to return to the rented house, she asked, "Yiyi, where are we going?"

"State-owned hotel."

Mother Gu thought she was just trying to coax 꽭꽭 and Yueyue, but she didn't expect Jiang Yiyi to really take them there. She didn't say anything to spoil the fun, because the family didn't lack the money now, and her daughter-in-law could go and eat if she wanted.

All the way to the state-owned hotel.

Jiang Yiyi has been delivering cold noodles these days. The waiters inside all recognize her and greet her with a smile, "Are you here to deliver cold noodles again?"

"Bring your family over for dinner."

"What do you want?"

"I want some meatballs, shredded pork in Beijing sauce, braised spareribs, boiled fish, and a bowl of rice."

These dishes are not cheap, plus the rice, it’s almost twenty yuan. After Jiang Yiyi finished speaking, some of the diners looked at her.

Qin Lan and Bai Jun, who were eating, also heard her voice and looked up subconsciously. The moment they saw Jiang Yiyi, Qin Lan's first reaction was to hide and not let Jiang Yiyi see her. She had just made some progress with Bai Jun, and if it was ruined by Jiang Yiyi, all the money and effort she had spent would be wasted.

Bai Jun also wanted to hide. If he had known that he would run into Jiang Yiyi, he would rather go home to drink cold water than come here to eat. If Jiang Yiyi told Qin Lan about the past, Qin Lan would definitely not be nice to him.

As he thought about this, sweat broke out on his forehead. Under normal circumstances, Qin Lan would have noticed it long ago and might even have wiped the sweat off his forehead. However, Qin Lan's head was almost lowered to the bowl, so there was no way she would notice his abnormality.

Jiang Yiyi didn't see them. She went back to the table and sat down, teasing 꽭꽭 and Yueyue while waiting for the food to come.

Qin Lan and Bai Jun were not far from their table. They dared not breathe, fearing that they would be seen by Jiang Yiyi. They finally finished the rice in their bowls and did not even pack up the remaining dishes. They stood up and hurried to the front. However, the busier they were, the more mistakes they made. They both lowered their heads and walked in a hurry. They bumped into someone who came in. The person was almost knocked down by the bump and immediately became anxious, "You are walking without eyes."

Everyone who was eating looked over. Jiang Yiyi also looked over. When she saw clearly that it was Bai Jun and Qin Lan, she narrowed her eyes. How could these two people be together?

Gu Yunchi also saw Qin Lan, and felt that today was really unlucky, running into the Qin family one after another.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Qin Lan and Bai Jun hurriedly apologized and fled.

Jiang Yiyi withdrew her gaze, thoughtful.

After they had eaten their fill, they packed up the remaining dishes and ordered six bowls of rice to take back to Jiang Jinfeng and Zhou Fen.

"Little sister, you're back. Wu Gang sold a lot of cold noodles. Come and get some. We don't have that much. Do you think we should start making it now?"

“No hurry.”

How can he not be anxious? That's all money. Jiang Jinfeng wishes he could make a hundred copies right now.

Jiang Yiyi gave him the packed meal and said, "After you and your sister-in-law have finished eating, go buy a few bags of noodles. Without the raw materials, we can't make cold noodles."

Jiang Jinfeng took it and opened it, his eyes widened when he saw the food inside.

"Eat quickly, and go buy some more when you're done."

While they were eating, Jiang Yiyi asked Gu's mother to look after 꽭꽭 and Yueyue, and took Gu Yunchi to the entrance of the textile factory on her bicycle.

Today's 100 copies are still sold out. Zhang Mei is even more excited than yesterday, "Yiyi, give me 20 more copies tomorrow."

She wanted to order fifty more, but she was unsure. What if they couldn't be sold and there were some left over? Although Jiang Yiyi said she would take them back, she couldn't do that. She had to sell all the ones she ordered.

"Okay, this is my eldest sister. When I'm too busy, she will come and deliver it to you."

"My name is Gu Yunchi."

"My name is Zhang Mei."

The two introduced themselves to each other. Zhang Mei gave the money to Jiang Yiyi, and just like yesterday, she packed her things and ran home quickly.

Jiang Yiyi drove Gu Yunchi to the aluminum factory and told her about Zhang Mei's situation while walking. All of this would be handed over to Gu Yunchi in the future, so she had to know this.

Li Lan had sold out early and had been waiting for Jiang Yiyi.

"Sister, you are here. Sister-in-law doesn't care. You must send me 30 more copies tomorrow."

Jiang Yiyi agreed with a smile.

Li Lan also gave her the money she had counted and quickly packed up her things. "Let's go. Sister-in-law will treat you to a meal."

"We've already eaten. Let sister-in-law treat us next time when we have time."

"It's agreed that you can tell your sister-in-law when you have time."

"good."

Li Lan went to find Cui Yong excitedly. She had earned two dollars and fifty cents from the lottery, and she had to show off to Cui Yong.

"Wife, you are back. I have great news to tell you."

Cui Yong was waiting at the door, looking excited.

"What's up?"

Cui Yong pulled her into the yard, closed the door, and lowered his voice, "Someone came to sell a motorcycle today. It's new, so he wants this much money."

He held up three fingers.

Motorcycles are not easy to buy. Even if you have money, you can't buy one without connections. And if you buy one, you won't make any profit by reselling it.

"so much?"

Li Lan's eyes widened. There was only 100 yuan in her family's savings account, which was the money from selling Jiang Yiyi's bicycle and tricycle. They didn't dare to touch the money at all, as it was left for Cui Yong to purchase goods.

Cui Yong rubbed his hands, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, wife, can you go to your parents' home..."

"cannot!"

Li Lan interrupted him.

The capital for buying bicycles was borrowed from her parents' home, and it took her two years to pay it back. Although her brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, they were in a bad mood every time she went home. If she went back to her parents' home to borrow money again, her brother and sister-in-law would definitely not agree, and might even quarrel with her parents. She couldn't let her parents' home be disturbed.

Choi Yong-sil was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity, and he turned around and around until his hair was turned into a mess.

Li Lan's excitement also disappeared.

"Why don't you open your mouth for Brother Li."

"The most he can lend me is three or two hundred, which is far from enough."

Li Lan thought of Jiang Yiyi. The cold noodles were selling so well, Jiang Yiyi must have money. But then she shook her head. They didn't have any friendship with Jiang Yiyi, so how could she lend them so much money?

But she really can't go back to her parents' home to borrow money again.

Seeing Cui Yong sighing and pulling his hair, Li Lan couldn't help but said, "Otherwise, you and Jiang Meizi should open your mouth and ask us to lend the money for free. Let's write an IOU and pay interest."

Cui Yong's eyes lit up. Jiang Yiyi spent money without hesitation, so she should have money. However, they were just in a relationship of buying and selling bicycles. Would she lend him money?
