Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 12: A Ready-made Porcelain Kiln at Home

After hearing this, Shen Qingqing's heart was moved beyond belief.

With this request as an opportunity, the bold idea she had in mind became possible to be put into practice.

Shen Qingqing told Chen Man: "I have to go home and talk to my mother about this to see if she agrees. If she agrees, I will definitely tell you!"

Chen Man thought about it, struggling between her father's morning instructions and Shen Qingqing, and finally whispered to Shen Qingqing: "It doesn't matter if you disagree. Anyway, my dad and that uncle have already cooperated."

Shen Qingqing looked at Chen Man winking at her and couldn't help but hug her.

Today it was Shen Qingqing and Chen Man's turn to be on duty. When they were about to leave after school, the head teacher walked up to the podium with a stack of newspapers.

Seeing that the podium was cleaned very well, he praised Shen Qingqing and Chen Man, reminded them to be careful on their way home, then put down the newspaper and left.

When Shen Qingqing saw the newspaper, she thought of her stocks. More than a week had passed, so she could take a look at the situation.

I took the newspaper and found the place where I saw the stock information last time. I looked at the data on it and recalled the data I wrote down when I bought it before. I found that the increase was not that big. The ups and downs in the past ten days were only a slight increase.

Shen Qingqing put the newspaper back and continued buying.

When she returned home, the house was empty. Shen Qingqing thought that Li Xunli had not come back yet, but when she put down her schoolbag, she saw Shen Yangyang's small backpack.

This means that Li Xunli has already finished get off work and picked up Shen Yangyang, but where is she?
Shen Qingqing walked around the house and outside but didn't see anyone. Finally, she saw an electric rice cooker in the kitchen with rice already washed in it but the lid had not been closed yet.

Shen Qingqing frowned. What happened that made her so anxious?
She completed the unfinished steps and while processing the ingredients that had been taken out, she kept looking out the window absentmindedly.

Even after all the ingredients were processed, no familiar figure appeared at the alley entrance.

Shen Qingqing took a piece of paper to wipe the water off her hands, jumped onto the sofa in a few steps, grabbed the phone and dialed her mother's pager.

The phone rang for four or five seconds before being picked up: "Hello? Qingqing?"

Shen Qingqing quickly replied: "Yes, Mom! Where did you go?"

Li Xunli's place seemed very noisy, with many people talking. She was also very anxious, so she just said, "Yangyang is at grandma's house, you cook for yourself first. Mom has something to do here, so wait for your dad to come back."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without even giving Shen Qingqing time to react.

Shen Qingqing frowned and called her grandmother's house directly.

"Grandpa! It's me! Qingqing!" The phone was picked up quickly. When Shen Qingqing heard her grandfather's voice, she quickly introduced herself.

"It's Qingqing. Is there any food at home? Do you want to come over and eat?" Grandpa obviously knew the situation at Shen Qingqing's home. When he heard her calling, he asked directly if she wanted to come over.

Shen Qingqing quickly said: "No need, the meal is already cooked, I'm waiting for Dad to come back for dinner."

"Grandpa, I want to ask, where is Mom doing?"

Grandpa: "She went with your uncle to deal with the small porcelain factory next to the old house. I heard that someone wanted to buy it, so the brigade called us. The only people in the family who know about porcelain factories are your grandmother, your mother, and your uncle. Your grandmother has to take care of Xiaohong and Yangyang, so she asked your mother to go with your uncle."

Shen Qingqing got the answer she wanted and chatted with her grandfather for a while before hanging up. She remembered the small porcelain factory, but in her previous life, it hadn't been sold. Instead, it had been left unused for many years. In 2020, the village used the remaining money from the road construction fund to convert the small porcelain factory into a small mourning hall, where all funerals were held.

Her great-grandmother’s funeral in her previous life was held in that small mourning hall, so she remembered it very clearly.

Although it is called a small porcelain factory, it is actually a place built by individual porcelain producers, so later everyone was willing to use it as a public mourning hall.

The fact that Li Xunli and Li Xunjin needed to go there to deal with it meant that there was a place in the small porcelain factory where their family could burn porcelain.

If you want Li Xunli to start firing porcelain again, isn't this a ready-made place?

And according to Chen Man, the order quantity for the first business is only five sets, and they are only needed for Christmas. Christmas is at the end of December, and it is only the beginning of September now. For her mother, firing five sets of small porcelain in three months should not be a big problem, right?
By the time Shen Qingqing finished dinner and took a shower, Li Xunli had not returned yet.

Shen Rongzhou couldn't sit still any longer. When he was about to go and pick someone up, he finally heard the sound of the door opening.

Li Xunli walked in one after another, holding Shen Hong and Li Xunjin holding Shen Yangyang. Shen Rongzhou hurried forward to take Shen Yangyang from Li Xunjin's arms and took the children back to the room to settle them down.

"Why are you back so late?" Shen Rongzhou came out of the room and asked.

Li Xunjin let out a complaining cry, raised his hand to scratch his head, and replied, "It's all because of a few old people in the village who insisted on arguing with the boss over trivial matters. The deal was almost done, but in the end it ended in a bad mood."

Shen Rongzhou didn't understand and looked at Li Xunli.

Li Xunli added, "Isn't that piece of land good feng shui? Several older uncles and aunts in the village felt the price offered by the owner was unfair and insisted on raising the price, saying the feng shui of the land was worth the price they had asked for."

"But the boss came to see if there was money to be made. He must have done an on-site inspection and refused to pay the extra feng shui fee. The discussion ended in pieces."

Shen Rongzhou smacked his lips and said, "Then this deal is off?"

Li Xunli shook her head. "I don't think it's going to work. When the boss left, the uncles and aunts were still saying that they would definitely not agree to sell it if the price was lower than that."

"They are of higher generation and are the ones who have the final say in the ancestral hall, so the brigade has to follow their lead."

Chaocheng pays great attention to the relationship between generations in the ancestral hall. In some matters that concern the entire village and the ancestral hall, even if the younger generations generally think it is okay, if the older generation elders disagree, it will definitely not be accomplished.

That small porcelain factory has been abandoned for seven or eight years. Basically, no household has any use for the land there. Someone comes to buy it and everyone shares the money. This is obviously a good thing.

Shen Qingqing listened to what they were saying in the living room. After finishing her homework, she leaned over to the door and asked, "Can our own porcelain kiln still be used?"

Li Xunli turned around and glanced at Shen Qingqing, "Why are you asking this?"

Shen Qingqing ran out with a chuckle and sat down next to Li Xunli: "Let me ask!"

"Of course it can be used. Your grandmother occasionally goes to the old house to clean it, and she also cleans our porcelain kiln in the meantime." Li Xunli answered her.

Shen Qingqing hugged her mother's arm and asked in a sweet voice: "Mom, there is a business deal to make five sets of small porcelain. Would you like to do it? The construction period is three months!"
