"That’s right, Teacher Shen is part of the school, and our army’s school has many young won, right? They all seem pretty good to ." Of course, there are very few like the one who frad her Wang Yuan last ti. Most of the single won who co to teach here want to find a decent person in the unit to settle down with.
There are plenty of outstanding, unmarried people in the unit; smart ones wouldn’t focus on those who are already married.
"Xiao Xin makes a good point. Actually, when the unit has events, we shouldn’t just focus on Wen Gong She. Over there in the group, teachers from the school can join too. For example, in spring and autumn, students can join the army for an event, allowing them to learn more knowledge while promoting ’communication.’" If there are more events of this kind, it might solve the problem for quite a few bachelors.
"Saozi is right, this is worth considering." Liao Ye stroked his chin and nodded, in full agreent.
Lin Wan and Han Yi went with their cousin first to their second uncle’s house, where their grandfather and grandmother were already waiting for them.
Even Dad considered the inconvenience of them carrying the baby back and forth, so he ca directly to the second uncle’s house.
Today, even the brother and Saozi returned.
Since entering the house, her little Dingding hasn’t left her arms. The whole family is very fond of him.
According to the customs here, a full moon banquet is not needed for a second child, but Dad insisted on having one. He missed it when Little Star was born, so he definitely wants one for Little Dingding.
Han Yi didn’t object, and fortunately, since everyone was ho today, the matter was settled.
It was really a matter of organizing as quickly as speaking; in three days, they inford friends and family. As for the banquet, Mom didn’t let her worry about it; they just needed to go to the restaurant at the ti.
Lin Wan also found peace in this arrangent.
In the evening, Han Yi was interrogated by several family n about the car accident they had, punishing him for not taking good care of Lin Wan and the child, deliberately making him drink a little. They didn’t go ho but directly went to her maternal ho.
When Little Dingding was asleep, Saozi handed Lin Wan the sales accounts from her store over the recent months, along with a savings certificate, which were the earnings of the recent months. The factory’s paynt bills weren’t settled yet. This needed to wait until she finished checking the accounts to hand over to Su Ling.
Now with two children, Lin Wan sotis thought about taking them to the store; without a car, it’s certainly inconvenient.
Lin Wan was also thinking of buying a new car. Han Yi agreed too; the compensation from i Langchi was enough to buy a car.
Lin Wan and Han Yi discussed it, and they decided to buy a mid-range car, sothing around forty or fifty thousand yuan. They couldn’t afford a car like a Santana that costs over two hundred thousand.
Buying a car was urgent, and after the couple discussed it, the next day Han Yi took money and went with his brother to the market to look at cars.
Lin Wan stayed ho with the children and sorted out the accounts from the past few months, then went with Mom to Shang Shang’s store to understand current market conditions. With Saozi looking after things for the months she was absent, there weren’t any major problems, except for an excess of off-season stock. Taozi wasn’t handling the promotions quite efficiently.
Lin Wan took a look at the warehouse; so of the winter clothes weren’t selling well and weren’t returned to the factory, mainly because there were too many broken sizes.
Lin Wan asked them to sort them out, put them aside for promotion. Now that sumr has just arrived, it’s not a good ti for off-season sales.
In two or three months, when there’s a slight change in weather, pairing it with autumn clothes for promotion will be better.
After walking around the store, Lin Wan went upstairs to Wang Leqin’s place, finding her introducing styles to a custor. The business in the store was really good.
"Not bad, why does it seem your store has gotten bigger?" Lin Wan noticed the adjacent store had been connected.
"Before the new year, the shop next door selling fabrics closed down, so I rented it to upgrade the store, to expand a bit. The renovations were just finished at the end of last month. What do you think, not bad, huh?" Wang Leqin was very satisfied with her decision.
"Not bad at all, this expansion has certainly boosted business." Lin Wan said with a smile and nodded.
"Yes, with a bigger store, it attracts more people. Look, I hired another young woman." Wang Leqin said, playfully teasing the child in Lin Wan’s arms, "He really looks like your man, look at those eyebrows, even this tiny, they resemble him so much. He’ll definitely look more like him when he grows up."
"Everyone who sees him says he looks like Han Yi. By the way, I’m up here to let you know that the day after tomorrow is my son’s full moon banquet, and you must co."
"Absolutely, I’ll definitely get a proper gift for my little nephew. By the way, what’s his na?"
"His full na is Han Xingyang; his nickna is Dingding."
"That’s wonderful, Xiao Wan, I’m really envious of you."
"What’s there to envy about? If you like kids, hurry up and find a partner yourself." Lin Wan casually asked, "Anyone you fancy yet?"
"I’m doing quite well now, enjoying the freedom of being alone. Why bother finding soone? Those are just burdens."
Lin Wan turned to her with a glance, "Since you say they’re burdens, why envy ?"
"I... I... Oh, co on, I just feel a bit envious seeing you so happy. If this were the past, I would definitely look for soone to marry. But after experiencing marriage once, I don’t have the heart for it anymore. I’m doing quite well on my own now, not conflicted at all."
Lin Wan heard Wang Leqin’s idea and didn’t know how to persuade her; once a woman is hurt, it’s difficult for her to erge from sadness. But n... take Gao Ran, for instance; he’s already found soone else and is living happily without a hint of impact.
Lin Wan stayed in the shop for a while and had Saozi take them back. She was just waiting for Han Yi and her brother to drive the car back.
In the end, the two sisters-in-law waited until it got dark, and Mom and Dad had been around for half a day before they saw them driving back.
Originally, they had agreed on buying a mid-priced car from Shanghai.
But when they went out to look at cars, it turned out to be a hundred-thousand black SUV.
"How... did you buy such an expensive car?" Lin Wan asked in confusion.
"Little sis, this car is great. It’s expensive for a reason. After looking at cars all day, we liked this one," Han Yi said.
Han Yi didn’t follow the agreed purchase plan and, feeling a bit guilty, smiled at Lin Wan and stepped forward to take Dingding from her arms. "Xiao Wan, we ran out of money, so I had to go back and get so. Ahem... this car is really nice."
Lin Wan could clearly see that the two were dazzled by the car. Before she could speak, her dad, unconcerned about the money, had already climbed into the car to start investigating it.
"It’s just for commuting, why buy such an expensive car?" Liang Hongi exclaid upon hearing it was a hundred thousand, feeling a jolt in her heart—an amount equivalent to her inco from six months of selling als.
However, the fried chicken business had been good these months; that hundred thousand wasn’t a significant amount for their family.
"Expensive or not, we have it," Lin Wan didn’t say much. After all, they’d spent the money, and she’d seen more people driving personal cars in the past two years, many costing more than theirs. Especially near the port, Chen Haichang’s car was over two hundred thousand, wasn’t it?
Seeing Lin Wan didn’t mind, Han Yi, smiling, carried Dingding and took Little Star and Tuantuan, who were eating fried chicken, into the car. The three n drove around for a spin.
Saozi laughed upon seeing this, "Mom, I think you should also learn to drive, then we’ll each have a Little Potato, but it won’t match up to Xiao Wan’s car."
"I’ll pass; our shop is close enough to ho anyway."
"Mom, you should learn; it’ll be more convenient for travel later. Haven’t you seen? There are many people driving now."
"Well, I..." Liang Hongi hesitated, never having touched such a thing in her life. "But yesterday at your second uncle’s house, your aunt said she wanted to learn to drive."
"Aunt?"
"Yes, she said a friend started a land project and wanted her to manage the technical departnt. Although it’s in the city, she’d still have to commute between the company and the site, which is quite far. Public transport and cycling aren’t convenient, so your second uncle thought of getting her a car like Ah Hui’s for her to commute."
"Oh, isn’t Aunt retired early?" Mu Qing asked.
"It’s her friend’s company, building houses for a factory. I heard there’s an extra building, belonging to their company, which can be sold to those outside the unit who don’t qualify for housing distribution."
"Ah... such a model is erging; that ans comrcial housing isn’t far off."
...
Their second car was more expensive, but it received unanimous approval from the three n in the family.
With the car, their family’s travel beca much more convenient. After staying at mom’s for two days, they drove the new car back to the compound.
Of course, their new car attracted quite a few envious looks from people in the compound. Lin Wan looked after the little ones at ho, while also chauffeuring her daughter and constantly engaging with people in the compound.
To avoid all this gossip, Lin Wan chose to stay indoors whenever possible. Even grocery shopping was done by Han Yi during his lunchti.
That day at noon, Han Yi, returning from buying groceries, encountered i Lang Jun, who had just parked downstairs in his car.
i Lang Jun saw Han Yi and gave him a hug, leading him upstairs. "I’ve been calling your place every day for days; why haven’t I heard anything?"
"These days I’ve been at my father-in-law’s house. Why? Any discovered leads?"
"No kidding, after I finished calling you last ti, I asked my mom to rummage around. I really didn’t expect..." i Lang Jun stopped short, fearing soone might overhear.
Lin Wan hadn’t anticipated i Lang Jun’s visit; she thought if he ca, Sister Tao Jia would also be present. "Sister Xiao Jia didn’t co?"
"She couldn’t leave today. My nephew’s here; let take a look."
"He’s just fallen asleep." Lin Wan said, leading him inside to glimpse at Dingding. Realizing they had business to discuss, Lin Wan sent them to a little room, while she busied herself in the kitchen.
"What’s going on? How did you know about these things, and does Grandpa know?" As soon as they were in the room, i Lang Jun asked incessantly.
