In the new house, surrounded by concrete walls, it feels like there is a lot of flying dust in the air, and the smell of concrete makes people feel uncomfortable.
Han Songlin didn't care much about this, his gaze full of confusion: 'Why do you suddenly want to do renovations?'
Han Songcai wore a hint of smugness on his face and beamed, 'Didn't I help you renovate the store last time? Then I looked for work in the city, and I happened to go to a renovation house, and then I learned for a month!'
Han Songcai is still hoping that Han Songlin can lend some money to get the renovation shop up and running.
Seeing that his brother is doing well now, is Han Songcai not anxious inside?
That's obviously impossible.
The Han family has never said that brothers must support each other; the best thing is to get on with your own life.
If brothers do well, supporting their brothers' families is a matter of affection, and there is nothing to say if they don't support others.
What matters is self-struggle.
Well, the main thing is that in the past, the Han family never had anyone who did well.
Now it seems that Han Songlin is going to make a name for himself!
In just a little over a month, he has already earned two apartments!
In fact, Han Songlin was also a little surprised; he had always known that the profit margin for the preserved food business was relatively high.
But he had never imagined that it could be so profitable.
One reason was that there were relatively few people selling preserved food, so there was less competition. Basically, many people who started businesses in the 1980s and 1990s made a lot of money.
Those who used their profits to buy a house were basically one of the main components of the middle class in later years.
Another important point is that the preserved food made by Han Songlin really does taste very good.
After all, the ingredients have been continuously improved over time.
For example, for preserved vegetables, Han Songlin has also reduced the spiciness quite a bit according to the characteristics of the current era.
Why is that?
The simple reason is that the main consumers now are the generation born after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
It is not the generation born after the reform and opening up.
The post-80s and post-90s generations have a much higher tolerance for spicy food.
Why is that?
Thanks to the various spicy snacks sold in school tuck shops.
Growing up eating all kinds of spicy food, they naturally become spicy-tolerant.
'And then you had the idea of opening your own renovation store?'
'Well, you'll have to lend me some money, brother!'
Han Songlin patted Han Songcai on the shoulder: 'As brothers, we should help each other out! In that case, have you found a suitable shop yet?'
'I've seen one, by the North Gate bus station!'
The county used to have city walls, but Han Songlin wasn't sure when they were demolished.
However, some place names have been retained.
For example, Wenmiao Street!
When I was a child, I had no idea why it was called that. It wasn't until I became an adult and learned about the world that I realised that the Wenmiao was considered one of the most important buildings in ancient times.
If you really compare it to the present, it would be the school.
Han Songlin: 'Are you going to rent or buy?'
'Let's rent for now!'
'I definitely support this. It's a good thing that you're using my house as a practice place! Here's 1,000 yuan and the keys to the house. Go buy the tools tomorrow. Buy some good ones so you can continue to use them in the future!'
Han Songcai: 'I'll consider it a loan!'
'That's fine!'
The two returned to the shop, where Liu Yuyan continued to teach Han Ting how to write. Liu Yuyan now attached great importance to Han Ting's studies.
She only has a junior high school diploma, which has always been a source of some concern for Liu Yuyan.
Han Songcai was preparing to go back again with some braised pork.
'Sister-in-law, leaving already!'
Liu Yuyan: 'Ride slowly!'
'I know!'
As he watched Han Songcai leave, Han Songlin sat on a chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and gulped it down.
Inside, with the fan blowing, he didn't feel too hot.
But after going out for a walk, the whole person is already sweating.
'Ting'er, how many words did you learn today?'
Han Ting broke her fingers and said in a baby voice, 'Five!'
No matter what kind of creature it is, this early childhood period is especially cute and adorable.
How will Han Ting's future academic performance be?
Han Songlin really doesn't know; but it seems that Han Ting is quite smart now.
This is, to be fair, quite a pleasant surprise.
After staring at Han Ting writing for a while, Han Songlin went to take a shower and came out again in a new outfit.
'What do you think?'
Han Songlin sat down next to Liu Yuyan and smelled the fragrance on her body; it wasn't perfume, but Liu Yuyan's natural body scent.
To a certain extent, Liu Yuyan fulfilled all of Han Songlin's fantasies.
'What do you mean?'
'Decorating the house!'
Han Songlin laughed lightly, 'Why, are you in such a hurry to move into the new house?'
'No!' Liu Yuyan really didn't feel that there was anything wrong with living in a shop.
'It's fine to say you want to live there!' Han Songlin teased, actually, he wasn't used to living in a shop.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have hurried to buy a house as soon as he got rich.
Liu Yuyan snorted lightly, she didn't want to live in a new house.
But if she could, it would be nice.
'Songcai said he wants to renovate!'
Liu Yuyan: 'That's a good thing!'
After marrying into the Han family for so many years, how could Liu Yuyan not know what kind of person her brother-in-law really is?
'But, as you know, he has no money!'
'So...' Liu Yuyan didn't say anything, waiting for Han Songlin to speak.
Indeed, if she took the initiative to speak and directly ask for money, it would show how generous she is.
But that's not how things work. She and Han Songlin are now one family; with Han Songcai, to put it bluntly, they are two families.
It is the husband and wife who will spend the rest of their lives together.
Han Songlin: 'So, he wanted to borrow some money from us, and I agreed!'
'Just say yes! It's a good thing that they can live a prosperous life.'
Liu Yuyan thought of something: 'If they come to the city, then let's bring Mum to live with us!'
Han Songlin was a little reluctant about this.
But he definitely couldn't say anything.
After all, he couldn't say that he wouldn't be filial just because he wanted a so-called world of two.
Besides, with Han Ting around, the two of them didn't really have a world of two. It was a bit sad and melancholy!
'The house has four rooms, which is just right. Mum can have one room, we can have one room, and Han Ting can sleep separately from us in the future!'
Liu Yuyan was a little worried: 'Han Ting is still young, let's wait two years!'
This made Han Songlin excited and a little broken-sounding: 'What do you mean, she's still young? She'll be going to kindergarten soon, and she should live independently!'
After lightly hitting Han Songlin, Liu Yuyan still didn't know what was on his mind.
'If you want her to sleep alone, that's fine! Then in the future, you go and tuck her in!'
Children might not know when to sleep at night, and just kick off the quilt. It's okay in the summer, but if it's winter, that's not good.
