Chapter 264 The Future is Bleak

The door was slammed shut. Qin Lihua's excitement over the good idea had barely faded away as she just stared blankly at the door.

What is a mess?
An ungrateful ungrateful person?

Fourth Aunt’s bun shop is in the county town, and they only sell buns in town, so how could they be stealing Fourth Aunt’s business?

She never thought that Cai Jun could be so noble that he would jump up and down just by hearing the words "selling buns".

After all, it was because he felt guilty. He was not afraid of stealing Fourth Aunt's business. He was afraid that Sun Bingnan and others would find out about their buns sales and call him an ungrateful and ungrateful person, right?

Qin Lihua suddenly felt that the future was bleak.

………………

The weather in July was so hot that even the cicadas in the trees were chirping in silence.

Lin Chuxia used her connections and finally bought three ceiling fans to install in the bun shop.

It's been hot these days and the business of the steamed bun shops has been affected. People try not to go out unless they can, not to mention that the hot weather also affects appetite.

"Brother, how are the sales of cooked food these days? I have already agreed with the mall that they will give us a freezer when they have one available."

Qin Han stood under the ceiling fan with his hands on his hips, looking at the fan with a silly smile.

After hearing what Lin Chuxia said, he immediately said, "That's great. The sales of cooked food have been low these days. Although the sales are low, we still have to go to the factory twice to get the goods. Otherwise, if we get them in the morning, they will easily go bad by the afternoon. It would be great if we had a freezer."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that he spoke of the freezer in a light-hearted manner. In the past, Qin Han would never have dared to even think about it.

I couldn't even think about the ceiling fan above my head.

Those are good things that only non-agricultural workers in the city can use.

Not only are they using it now, there are two of them in this shop.

Also, at home, my brother's sister-in-law bought a TV the day before yesterday, saying it was for his parents to entertain themselves.

How many TV sets can there be in the whole street of Qinjia Village? Not to mention buying one to entertain the elders, just thinking about it makes me feel encouraged.

Lin Chuxia didn't expect that Qin Han had arranged things in the bun shop so well even though she hadn't asked about it during this period of time.

It’s hot in the summer, and it’s really not easy to keep cooked food fresh. If there’s any problem, it’s easy to get an upset stomach.

It is rare that Qin Han can make such thoughtful arrangements even though he has no experience in running a shop.

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll go back first."

After saying that, Lin Chuxia didn't want to stay in the bun shop anymore. In this kind of weather, she wanted to find a quiet place to hide.

Speaking of which, her courtyard is quite nice. It is a square courtyard with two big trees in the middle.

Those two big trees looked very old, with lush branches and leaves, and their shade covered the entire yard.

The only drawback is that the yard was used as a staff dormitory, and with more people living there, it looks a bit messy.

Lin Chuxia counted her money again in her mind and figured out that she still had quite a bit of surplus. If she found a suitable place, she could buy a small courtyard.

After experiencing social development, Lin Chuxia knew that money at this moment was valuable and worthless.

It is valuable because of its strong purchasing power. You can buy a small yard for a few thousand dollars.

Its value is that it is worthless. If you put several thousand dollars in the bank, it will only depreciate after ten or twenty years.

The best way is to turn it into an industry with potential for appreciation, and houses and land are the best choices.

Lin Chuxia was thinking about it when she saw a familiar figure in the distance.

On a hot day, Li Guangyuan was wearing a white shirt and long trousers. His hair looked like it had been greased, and it would split his legs if a fly landed on it. He rode his bicycle and stopped at the gate of a small courtyard.

After knocking on the gate, it opened soon and a woman's head popped out. The two people moved almost in unison, looking left and right at the same time before pushing their bicycles into the yard.

After Li Guangyuan entered the yard, the woman stuck her head out again, looked around, and then closed the gate tightly. Lin Chuxia sneered, this is really a dog that can't change its eating habits.

Just looking at the behavior of these two people, it is impossible not to think too much.

A while ago, I heard from my younger brother Lam Ka Tung that Li Guangyuan had gone to set up a stall to sell vegetables again.

Nowadays, as long as people are diligent and hardworking, they can more or less reap the benefits of this era.

But some people are like this. Once they have money, they forget their own last name.

I could see clearly from a distance that the woman was not young, at least older than Lin Jiayi.

I don’t know if this person is really hungry or just a born bad boy. He always thinks wild flowers are more fragrant than domestic flowers.

Lin Chuxia didn't bother to care about their trivial matters. After all, they had nothing to do with her in this life.

In the distance, an old man was riding a bicycle with a white wooden box on the rear frame, shouting loudly, "Popsicles, red bean popsicles, cream popsicles..."

After a while, two children ran out from the alley next to them and stopped the old man selling popsicles.

Lin Chuxia also walked over.

The two children each held money in their hands and shouted to buy popsicles.

"Cream popsicles are 5 cents each, and red bean popsicles are cents each. What do you want?"

"I want the one with cream, it's delicious," the younger sister shouted.

The older brother thought for a moment and said, "I want Xiaodou's."

The grandfather first took a cream popsicle and handed it to the younger sister, and then took a red bean popsicle and gave it to the older brother.

The younger sister gave all the two five-cent coins in her hand to the old man, and the older brother had only one dime in his hand.

The old man took a dime from my brother and gave him the five cents he had just collected.

My brother walked back contentedly, holding the change in one hand and the red bean popsicle in the other.

The younger sister looked at the popsicle in her hand, then at the 5 cents in her brother's hand, and was dumbfounded.

He hurriedly chased after him, "Brother, brother, give me back the money."

"This is my money, why should I give it to you?"

"It's not yours but mine. It's obviously my 5 cents."

"You've already used your money to buy the popsicles. Now the 5 cents is mine."

"No, this is my 5 cents. I saw the old man give you my 5 cents. You are cheating me. I will tell mom."

"You can't be unreasonable. You've already used your money to buy popsicles."

"You are being unreasonable. The money in your hand is clearly my money..."

…………

Lin Chuxia watched the two children walk away with a smile in her eyes.

He took out a dime from his pocket and said, "Uncle, give me a cream popsicle."

The old man reopened the lid of the wooden box, lifted a crack in the white quilt, and took out a popsicle from the neatly stacked ones and gave it to her.

Lin Chuxia hadn't eaten this kind of popsicle for decades. It had white wrapping paper with light blue patterns on it.

When you open it, a light creamy fragrance accompanied by a cool breeze hits your nose.

Taking a bite of the sweet and cool food is such a blessing in this summer when there is no air conditioning or electric fans.

On the other side, Li Guangyuan, who had entered the yard, put his bicycle aside and couldn't wait to hug Tian Cuihua, his hands still touching her up and down...
