Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Chapter 237

After helping Dabao to change his diaper and feed him milk, Lin Shu let him go into the villa to play. He then walked around the hillside and picked up a lot of mushrooms. Seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to go down the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Shu changed out of the clothes he had worn in the woods and strapped Dabao to his chest. He threw the clothes he had changed into the system, then took out his bicycle and headed for the city.

After entering the city, I found an empty corner, put the bicycle into the system, took out a basket of mushrooms from the system, and then walked home.

I was just walking on the street and not far away I saw Gu Jiu coming on a bicycle.

When the bicycle stopped in front of the mother and son, Lin Shu asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"When I got home, I learned from my sister-in-law that you didn't go with them. I guessed that you must have been restless and went up the mountain again. Sure enough, I was right."

Gu Jiu parked the bicycle, glanced at her helplessly, took the basket from her hand and hung it on the side of the back seat.

Lin Shu was very curious: "Even if you guessed that I went up the mountain, how did you guess that I would take this road out of the city?"

Gu Jiu sighed and pointed to the mountain outside the city. "This mountain outside the city is the closest to where we live. If you don't go there, what else can you do but go far away?"

Lin Shu looked back and couldn't help laughing: "You have a really smart brain."

"Thank you for the compliment, my wife. Get in the car quickly and ask my sister-in-law to prepare the basket of mushrooms so that we can all enjoy them tonight." Gu Jiu winked at her.

Lin Shu chuckled and patted him, "Okay, let's go."

After returning home, Lin Shu asked Gu Jiu to take Dabao with her. She took a bath first, and then helped Dabao wash. When she washed the clothes and hung them up, it was almost time for dinner.

"This is the money I collected from the stall today. It's all in this bag. This is the general ledger." Lin Gang picked up a canvas bag and placed it on the chair next to the dining table. The paper with the account was placed directly on the table in front of her.

Lin Shu glanced at the ledger, smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work today. I will pay you after I settle the accounts."

"You already gave us a lot last time, so we don't need it today." Li Wan always felt that the money was too much.

"You put in the work, and I pay you. It's fair and just. Sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed to accept it every time."

Lin Shu found it troublesome that they had to be polite every time they were paid. Wouldn't it be better for them to just accept the money she gave them?

Lin Gang pulled Li Wan to sit down, "Please sit down. You don't want any reward. The other brothers have to support their families."

The others smiled awkwardly. They did care about the reward, so they wouldn't be polite.

Li Wan noticed the embarrassment of the others and didn't dare to say anything more.

We cooked a pot of mushroom soup with the mushrooms we picked in the afternoon. It tasted very delicious and everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the mushroom soup.

While eating, Lin Gang asked, "Lin Shu, are you going to set up the stall tomorrow? We set up the stall today, but many people came to me to order goods for tomorrow."

"Do they want a lot of goods?" Lin Shu asked.

"It's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. The deposit alone is probably around 10,000."

This startled Chen Fei, who was drinking his soup quietly. He raised his head and asked in disbelief, "How much did you order for your stall?"

I thought you were just playing around. I just heard how much the deposit was?

Ten thousand?

Lin Gang smiled proudly: "About 10,000, and that doesn't even include the goods sold at the stall that day."

Fade Chen's eyes widened in shock, "Is Yangcheng's purchasing power so strong?"

Lin Gang: "How can they all be citizens of Guangzhou? The ones who come to our stall for wholesale the most are bosses from various provinces."

After setting up the stall for the past few days, Li Wan said that she wanted to open a jewelry store when she returned. Lin Gang fully agreed with this.

He has been setting up a stall every day in the past few months and has some savings, which is enough for the initial start-up capital to open a jewelry store.

Chen Fei rubbed his chin with his fingers and pondered: "It seems that opening a wholesale store in Yangcheng is very profitable."

Lin Shu smiled and asked, "You're not thinking about opening a store in Yangcheng, are you?"

Chen Fei smiled confidently: "Why not? When our electrical appliance factory is open, we will open a store in Yangcheng to sell electrical appliances wholesale, and directly invite customers to the factory to place orders."

Lin Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Now there is no problem with the sales of electrical appliances. You should focus on how to increase production."

Chen Fei nodded: "Don't worry, it will be done soon. We have completed all the formalities today and the land has been approved."

"So fast?" Lin Shu turned around in shock and looked at Gu Jiu who was sitting next to him.

Gu Jiu smiled and rubbed her hair. "Uncle Chen and my father have acquaintances in Guangdong Province. The approval process went through the green channel."

There was no need to explain the rest, Lin Shu understood it, it was easier to get things done with someone in the court.

"Then how many days will we stay in Yangcheng?" Li Wan asked.

If she hadn't been concerned that they were here for serious business, she would have wanted to take the train back and find a storefront to open her jewelry store.

Gu Jiu explained, "I can't stay for two days. After I finish my work, Ma Zi and I want to treat people to a meal tomorrow to express our gratitude. We can go back the day after tomorrow."

Chen Fei added: "You can go back, I have to stay here to supervise the construction of the factory. However, my sister-in-law is thoughtful and helped us rent a house in advance, which saves my brothers who stay in Yangcheng with me from renting a house."

"It just so happened that I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just wanted to try my best to help our young landlord."

Lin Shu smiled awkwardly. At that time, he was just thinking about how he could help his future in-laws, so he just made up the excuse casually.

Everyone has heard Lin Shu talk about Su Aiguo's story. As for the Su family's ancestral home, no one wants to see it forced to be sold. Everyone is very happy to be able to keep it and rent it.

The next day, Lin Gang delivered all the goods ordered by the customers and asked Xiaohui and others to look after the stall. He then went to the train station and bought a return train ticket.

After Gu Jiu and his friends invited people to dinner, they started packing their luggage when they came back in the evening.

"We have also ordered a batch of fruits from Guangdong Province this time. We will arrange for them to be shipped back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. After we get back, please ask the fruit shop downstairs to prepare promotional activities."

Lin Shu stopped folding clothes and looked up at Gu Jiu who was holding Dabao. "You ordered a lot of fruits?"

"Two train cars."

"so much?"

Gu Jiu shook his head. "It's not that much. The company's fruit wholesale department can basically clear it out in less than a week. It's just that the shelf life of fruits in Guangdong Province is short now, so we should sell them as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I'll ask them to clear out an area to display the fruits from Guangdong Province." Lin Shu nodded and agreed.

"We also bought a lot of longan flesh this time, which will be shipped to the food factory for packaging and sale."

"Longan flesh, if it is dried, it can be a high-end nutritional product if it is handled well. When you pack it, don't make it too ugly."

Lin Shu knew that many people from well-off families liked to use longan meat to make soup for nourishing the body.

The food processed in this era is truly handmade and can be eaten with complete confidence.

When the time comes, she will make some extra to make soup for her parents at home.

"I know. When the packaging box is designed, I'll give it to you for review and you can help us check it."

Lin Shu stuffed all the clothes he had sorted out into the suitcase and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't understand it either, but I think it's fine as long as it looks classy."

Speaking of the fact that this matter was completed, Lin Shu suddenly remembered that she had not had time to ask them how much land they had approved.

"How much land did the higher-ups approve for you this time?"

"Outskirts of Yangcheng, rounded up to a hundred acres."

"So many!" Lin Shu was shocked again.

It is not just talk that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.

Gu Jiu couldn't understand why Lin Shu was so excited. "A lot? At that time, the people above wanted to approve 150 acres, but we were short of funds and didn't want to waste money on land, so we reduced it by 50 acres."

Lin Shu's face suddenly looked as if he was constipated, extremely ugly.

"what happened to you?"

Lin Shu's heart was bleeding, but he managed to force a smile and said, "Nothing!"

After Gu Jiu went to wash up, Lin Shu hugged Dabao and felt very upset: "Son, why do I feel like I missed out on 100 million?"

Dabao broke free from Lin Shu's embrace and rolled onto the bed, "More than 100 million."

Lin Shu reacted, covered his chest, and said uncomfortably: "You are right to remind me, fifty acres of land! My God, son, I have difficulty breathing, I can't breathe."

Dabao rolled his eyes at her and gave her a bad rating for her acting skills!

Seeing that he couldn't deceive Dabao, Lin Shu suddenly felt bored and collapsed on the bed, sighing: "There is no end to making money in this world. I missed the fifty acres just because I feel that the red envelope I will give to my grandson will be reduced again."

Dabao looked at his little hands. He was still a little kid, but his mother was already thinking about her grandson. It was outrageous.

Without mentioning going home, my life in Guangdong Province is quite fulfilling.

When I think about being able to go home soon, I can’t wait to go home.

Lin Shu was eager to fly back home so she could see her second baby immediately.

"I'm going home soon. Does Dabao miss his sister?"

After getting on the train, Lin Shu asked Dabao who was lying next to him.

Dabao said: "I want to!"

Gu Jiu chuckled. Not to mention Dabao, he missed his second baby too. It seemed like centuries had passed after not seeing him for just a few days.

"I don't know if Erbao has been doing well these past few days. Is he crying or making a fuss?"

Gu Jiu comforted her, "Our Erbao is very well behaved. She likes her grandma to take care of her."

At this time, Erbao was at home playing with the toys given by Gu Youhui, and he was so happy.

After her parents left, she only felt a little uncomfortable in the first two days, and in the following days she basically forgot that she had parents and brother.

While playing with Erbao with a toy, Gu Youhui asked, "Grandma, my uncle and aunt went to Yangcheng and haven't called since then?"

"He called me the night before yesterday and said he would be back in two days." Liu Xiao'e asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to your uncle about?"

"Come back in two days? Didn't my uncle say when he would be back?"

Liu Xiao'e shook her head. "He didn't say a specific date. What do you want to see him about?"

Gu Youhui sighed and nodded, "Big deal."

"event?"

Liu Xiao'e began to wonder, didn't the Gu family still have three sons in the city? What kind of important matter couldn't the three brothers make the decision? Did they still need to wait for Gu Jiu to come back?

Gu Youhui didn’t think about explaining, as he was very busy during this period, but he stood up.

"Grandma, I'm leaving first. I still have some things to deal with in the store. When my uncle and his family come back, remember to tell him to go back to the old house."

Seeing that Gu Youhui was unwilling to talk, Liu Xiao'e didn't want to ask any more questions. She nodded nervously and agreed, "Okay, I'll tell him when he comes back."

Gu Youhui said goodbye and left. When he arrived at the noodle shop downstairs, he went in and said hello to Gu Dashan.

Liu Xiao'e thought about this matter all day, and when Gu Dashan came home in the evening, she mentioned Gu Youhui's visit.

"He said he had something important to discuss with Gu Jiu, and asked him to come back to the old house when Gu Jiu came back. What do you think happened to the Gu family?"

"I don't know. Since he doesn't want to say, it's not easy for us to ask. We'll know when Gu Jiu comes back and asks him to go back."

Men are not as curious as Liu Xiao'e, and they can prioritize important matters. Gu Dashan felt that since Gu Youhui didn't say it to his face, it meant it was not an urgent matter.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Gu Jiu, Lin Shu and Dabao, their family of three, arrived home.

In order not to disturb their family's rest, Lin Shu and Gu Jiu stayed in the hotel for one night.

They returned home the next day pushing the suitcase. As soon as they entered the house, Erbao was stunned when they saw them. After a few minutes, the little girl realized that her father, mother and brother were back.

His mouth drooped and tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing her aggrieved look of being abandoned, Lin Shu and Gu Jiu felt very guilty. They shouldn't have thought that Erbao was ignorant and left her alone at home.

Gu Jiu picked her up guiltily and coaxed her, "My dear, next time mom and dad go out, we will definitely take you with us. Don't cry, if you keep crying, dad's heart will break."

Ouch, as a father I can’t stop my daughter’s tears, my heart feels so sore and uncomfortable.

Lin Shu walked up to her and kissed her little face, then handed the luggage to the nanny, and took off Dabao and handed him to Liu Xiaoe.

Liu Xiao'e hadn't seen Dabao for several days and missed him very much. She hugged him and sat on the sofa, the two of them kissing each other.

After much effort, he coaxed the second baby, but the little one just stuck to Gu Jiu and refused to let go. She insisted that Gu Jiu hold her, fearing that her father would run away again if she let go.

Liu Xiao'e and Dabao kissed enough before she spoke: "Youhui came yesterday and told you to go back to the old house when you come back."

"Did he say anything?"

Gu Jiu asked casually without caring. They had been to Guangdong Province, and they had to go back to the old house no matter what, and report their work to his father.

"He didn't say what it was specifically, he just said it was a big deal."

"event?"

Gu Jiu and Lin Shu looked at each other. What happened in the old house? Was it a big deal?

The couple was confused and decided to take the specialties they brought back from Guangdong Province with them since they were going back.

Originally, Gu Changsheng and Wang Suzhen planned to live in the new house for a while, but Gu Jiu and Lin Shu both went to Guangdong Province, so they moved back.

What's more, a villa cannot be left uninhabited for a long time. A house without people will become deserted after a while.

If you want to move back in, it will take some time for the house to warm up.

Gu Jiu's family of four rode two bicycles to the old house, thinking that his brothers would be at home, but when they returned to the villa, they found only Wang Suzhen, the nanny and an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

"Mom, we're back. You're the only ones at home. Where are the others?"

Gu Jiu placed the specialties he brought on the table, glanced at the strange middle-aged man, and then sat on the sofa holding Erbao.

Lin Shu followed her in, called her mom, and handed Dabao to her, "You haven't seen grandma for a few days. Dabao and grandma should have a good kiss."

"Grandma's dear baby, you've missed me so much since I last saw you for a few days. Come here and let grandma see you. Have you lost weight after your trip to Guangdong?" Wang Suzhen took Dabao in and first gave him a kiss on the face.
