A pound of assorted fruit candies costs 1.2 yuan per pound. Qin Man bought two pounds, which was quite a lot. There were 20 children in the class, excluding her two siblings, and there were still 18 left. If each child was given two, that would be 36 fruit candies.
Qin Man divided the candies and put them in their small school bags, and also stuffed four extra candies in there so that they could each eat two.
However, it is not good for children to eat too much sugar at one time, and Qin Man does not recommend eating too much in one day.
Later, after dinner, when it was getting dark, Jiang Cong suggested taking them to visit his alma mater.
The Normal University was only two miles away from where they rented a house, so they could walk there in half an hour, which was just a way to help digest the food.
This university is very famous even in later generations. Qin Man also wants to visit Jiang Cong’s alma mater, the place that cultivated him to such an excellent level.
They pushed the bicycle out, with the children sitting on it, while the couple walked. It took them half an hour to reach the gate of the Normal University.
He came prepared. He took out his old student ID and showed it to the security guard. The security guard still remembered him. When he was in college, he often worked part-time to pay for his studies. He would always come back after the school was closed, and every time he came back, the security guard would open the door for him.
Grandpa liked such hard-working students who did not rely on their families and earned their living expenses on their own during four years in college, so he was particularly impressed by him.
"You kid, I remember you. What? Bring your wife and kids to visit your alma mater?"
"Yes, I happened to be nearby, so I came to take a look!" Jiang Cong replied with a smile.
"Well, where do you work now?" the grandfather asked again.
"I am now teaching at the No. 1 Middle School in the city!"
"No. 1 Middle School in the city is a good place to go! Are these your children? Twins?" The grandfather then turned his gaze to Xiao Li and Xiao Yu.
"Yes, they are twins, and this one is my wife!"
Jiang Cong introduced his family to him.
Seeing that Qin Man was good-looking and of good character, and that the two children liked her, the master could not help but nod with admiration:
"You are so lucky, young and yet you have a successful family and career!"
Jiang Cong smiled embarrassedly and did not answer.
"The noodle shop where you used to work is no longer run by its owner. The shop is being sold and they are still looking for a buyer!"
The grandfather casually pointed to a noodle restaurant across the street. That was where Jiang Cong used to work part-time and it carried Jiang Cong's memories.
Jiang Cong looked over and saw that the lights were still on, but there were few customers.
When Qin Man heard that Jin'er had arrived, she took a quick look at the noodle restaurant. It looked quite spacious and faced the Normal University, so there was no need to worry about the flow of people!
There are pedestrian streets and many residential areas around. It's such a good location. Wouldn't it be great if you could open a store here?
Moreover, she has been here for more than a year and has not seen any malatang shop open yet. If she opens one, it will be the only one here and there will be no shortage of visitors!
"Ah Cong, you look after the children. I'll go over and take a look!"
As soon as Qin Man opened her mouth, Jiang Cong knew what she was going to do. She heard that someone's shop was being transferred, and she wanted to find out more about the situation.
Because Qin Man has always wanted to start her own business.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to go around the school. He took his child, pushed his bicycle, and followed Qin Man to the other side of the street.
"Master, I'll go first!"
"Go!" The master waved his hand and returned to his guard room.
His casual remark actually hit the mark exactly what they wanted.
Qin Man walked to the door of the store and saw a handwritten note posted on the door, which said that the store was being transferred.
So she walked in. The store was quite clean. There were six tables in total, all of which could seat four people. The area was about 40 square meters.
"Hello, would you like some noodles?" the proprietress asked when she saw the visitor.
Qin Man heard this and explained her purpose with a smile.
"I'm here to see your boss. I saw your store is for sale. Would it be convenient for us to chat?"
Jiang Cong also came in at this time. He locked his bicycle on the side of the road and came in with his child.
"Sister Hong, long time no see!"
Jiang Cong took the initiative to greet the proprietress, who was called Sister Hong, and recognized Jiang Cong immediately.
"Jiang Cong, why are you here? Sit down!"
Sister Hong's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, showing that she had a good impression of Jiang Cong.
"Sister Hong, don't be so polite, this is my wife, she wants to come over and learn about this store!"
"Is this beauty your wife?" Sister Hong looked at Qin Man in disbelief, and Qin Man smiled and nodded at her.
"Yes, my wife wants to start her own business. She saw the sign saying the shop is for sale, so she wanted to come over and ask about the price. Is your place convenient?" Jiang Cong explained.
"It's convenient. I haven't sold this shop yet. Several people came to ask for the price, but they all said it was too expensive. We didn't reach an agreement. I have no choice. Business is not good. My elderly family member is sick and my children need to go to school. I am really short of money!"
If not, she wouldn't be in a hurry to sell the store.
