BTTS 381




 Chapter 381. Buy a truck


On the way home, Lin Qing He chatted with Zhou Qing Bai: "Say, what does Sheng Mei mean by saying that?"

"Huh?" Zhou Qing Bai was riding a bicycle without moving his gaze.

"Does she want her mother to come over? Or does she want her mother to come and help Xiao Mei?" Lin Qing He said.

"There's no problem with First Sister coming here." Zhou Qing Bai responded.

Lin Qing He replied, "I didn't say there is."

If First Sister is willing to come, then come. There's no logic that she can come to the capital and aren't allowed.

But once she's here, she'll have to be farther away from here. They were all in the same industry, so better not be together and put a strain on the relationship.

"Go back and ask during summer vacation?" Zhou Qing Bai said.

"Okay." Lin Qing He had no objection. She had to send her brother a motorcycle during the summer vacation, so they will go back when the time comes.

If First Sister's family were going to come, she could have a reason to ask her to leave and let her help her mother.

"If this matter is going to be brought up, you go. I don't want to give the talk." Lin Qing He continued.

Zhou Qing Bai nodded and replied, "I will go find Eldest Sister and talk at that time.

"I didn't consider this matter thoroughly." Lin Qing He sighed lightly. She knew that her family Qing Bai was being roundabout about the matter of letting Gang Zi come and not letting Xu Sheng Qiang.

That's why he wanted to go talk to his eldest sister about doing business over here.

"Nothing is wrong. Don't think too much." Zhou Qing Bai assured calmly.

His wife did the right thing. Qiang Zi and Gang Zi were both their nephews, so there was no difference. As for why Gang Zi was allowed and not Qiang Zi, it wasn't his wife who needs to reflect.

But it was his eldest sister, so he left some face.

When he reached the apartment building, Lin Qing He was still pondering about whether she should hire relatives or not. If she had relied on recruitment from the beginning, how much better it would be?

No need to be so troubled like now, right? Sure enough, not putting a stop when she should, she suffers the chaos.

"Once it's vacation time, let's go to the south to look around." Zhou Qing Bai knew very well what could make his wife divert her attention and be happy.

When Lin Qing He heard this, her attention shifted and said, "Should we leave two days later?"

She'll be on summer vacation the day after tomorrow. Take a rest that day and set off the following day. Although it was a little bit rushed, it was obviously not a bad idea.

This year, because she bought a top-notch double-entry dwelling, there wasn't much money left after all the expenses. So she plans to go over make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng Mei and First Sister's affair were dropped by her.

"Alright." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Lin Qing He's mood improved. After finishing the last class of the day the next day, she announced her holiday.

At this time, both Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni's results came out. They called back home to ask. Their scores weren't high, but neither were they low.

They were still disappointed that they didn't admit to their desired university. Now they'll have to wait for the admission letter from their later choices.

However, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai hadn't waited for that. When the scheduled day arrived, they went south.

Everything at home was handed over to Zhou Xuan to manage. The few shops were also left him and Zhou Gui Lai's care. The two brothers had been helping out since they were very young.

And the fact that their parents went directly south to travel during the summer vacation, was no surprise as they basically did this every year since they came to the capital.

Because Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were gone, old Wang came to the shop to help.

With old Wang present, there was no need for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou to come. On such hot days, there was no need to go back and forth. Old Wang was enough.

But in fact, it won't do badly even without old Wang. Though Zhou Xuan was only sixteen, his aura wasn't weak. He can hold his own.

The couple, who ran off after throwing their burdens to him, was on the train at the moment.

"This year, our side has the addition of nearly three million households." Zhou Qing Bai said while reading the newspaper.

"It's definitely more than that. There should be many people who are low-key and didn't report it." Lin Qing He responded. She was eating fresh dates as well as feeding some to Zhou Qing Bai.

In addition to some food in the space, she stored all kinds of seasonal fruits. This time she'll store some seasonal fruits during this trip in the south.

She specially set aside a small spot in the space to put these supplies.

The rest were used to transport goods.

Zhou Qing Bai naturally knew that the newspapers might not indicate all of them. There must be some who made a fortune in silence.

Such as his family.

However, it can also be concluded from this that the people were really getting richer and richer now. This reform policy was really good.

The couple arrived at the south side. This time, they were already familiar like experienced drivers.

Buying and selling goods were all according to the old rules. Still, even when Lin Qing He was familiar with the process, she remained extra careful.

After the first batch of goods was completed, Lin Qing He led Zhou Qing Bai over to look at the truck.

Zhou Qing Bai was stumped: "Wife, we came to the wrong place. The motorcycles aren't here"

"It's right. I came here to buy a truck." Lin Qing He replied.

At this time, the trucks weren't very big. Her space was only 10 square meters, while a truck took up five to six square meters. Her supplies took up that tiny bit of area, so the space could store it with no problem at all.

Especially, it was too hard for the two of them to resell things like this. If they had a truck, it would be much more convenient.

So Lin Qing He didn't hesitate at all. The first batch of goods was sold to buy a truck.

A truck was sixteen thousand or so. Got to say, this price was also a sky-high price. One and half of a ten thousand yuan household worth.

One resell trip wasnt enough to pay for it. They had to supplement with the money earned after buying their courtyard dwelling.

After buying this truck, there was still more than two thousand capital left. The couple drove the truck to buy the goods.

Although this truck was extremely dear, when Zhou Qing Bai drove it on the road, the look on his face obviously displayed his joy.

Then again, there was no man who didn't like cars.

Let alone Zhou Qing Bai, Lin Qing He liked it herself.

Because they got a vehicle, it was much more convenient for the two to buy goods. After one truck-full of goods were withdrawn into the space, they reloaded the truck again. So, it was the amount of two truckloads transported and sold to the nearby provincial city. Then they drove back to Yang Cheng to buy items to take home.

They bought a motorcycle for Third Brother Lin, a washing machine for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, a freezer which was to be added to the beverage store, and even a camera that Youngest Son, Zhou Gui Lai longed for.

Lin Qing He actually bore to buy an imported one for more than 900 yuan.

One will be used for a long time, so might as well buy a better one.

The rest were watches and so on. These were to be brought back for the young girls and boys.

These things were placed in the truck to not occupy any space.

It was indeed profitable to resell, but the couple was also tired out. This time, due to having a truck, it did save a lot of effort. Still, it took up a lot of energy.

"In two years, we will open a luxury store in the capital and let the people under us drive to the south to buy goods. What do you think?" Lin Qing He asked on the train while eating an apple.

Zhou Qing Bai was also snacking on an apple and responded: "Get people to watch the shops is enough. We'll buy the goods ourselves."

      2. Have you ever seen those videos of driving in China, especially older ones? Traffic laws seem more like suggestions. But I agree it would be hard to pick driving a manual up in less than a day.

    4. Ugh, why let Elder Sister come... Just send Sheng Mei back. Out of sight, out of mind. Why do something you know will bring trouble later?

      Feel like LQH was somewhat conflicted on the relationship between relatives because she was an orphan before she transmigrated. Frustrating, but understandable I guess
