Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 142 Finally Opened

Lin Qingyan and Zhou Limei did not take a break this time and quickly sorted out the vegetables and fruits they brought.

Looking at the full shelves, Zhou Limei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we've sorted it out. Let's go and sit at home for a while. We don't want to stay here anymore, in case someone else comes over."

Lin Qingyan said to her, "Sister Zhou, I won't go. I'm going back first. Today, I have sold out the vegetable quota for two days. I need to go back and plant more, otherwise I'm afraid that the supply will not be enough."

Lin Qingyan felt insecure when she saw that part of the fresh-keeping room was empty. She decided to go back and plant some crops to fill up the fresh-keeping room so that she wouldn't have to worry.

Zhou Limei hurriedly urged her,

"After the store officially opens, you can just deliver the vegetables and stop working here. We agreed on the division of labor before. I will be in charge of the store and you will be in charge of growing the vegetables."

Lin Qingyan had no objection to this arrangement and prepared to leave on her tricycle.

Zhou Limei called her again and handed her a key. "Here's the key to the shop. Keep it safe. This is our shop."

Lin Qingyan held the key in her hand, and only then did she feel that the shop truly was her home.

She left the shop on her tricycle and went to the second-hand grocery market, where she happened to meet someone who came with several large bags of clothes to sell.

She watched as the boss weighed the pile of clothes and found out that he charged them by the kilogram.

After everyone left, Lin Qingyan went up to the boss and asked, "Are you taking these clothes too?"

"Of course, of course. Pick out the better ones, process them professionally, and sell them. The inferior ones can be sold to recycling stations and turned into fabrics for making clothes and then put into the market again."

After listening to the boss's explanation, Lin Qingyan asked him, "Can I pick some?"

The boss glanced at her and said: "Little girl, you little girls don't like to wear the clothes here!"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said to her: "My family lives in the mountains. There are many people, including many elderly people and children. As long as it can keep warm, the style is not important."

The boss pointed to a pile of things inside and said, "You can go in and pick them yourself. When you are done, come over and weigh them. These are all calculated by weight, 5 yuan per pound."

Lin Qingyan walked into the house and saw that it was filled with clothes, many of which were half-new, and some were even 9% new. They were much cheaper than those sold on street stalls or in wholesale markets.

She was very excited. She planned to give these clothes to the elderly people in the cowshed so that they would at least not be cold in the winter. She could also give some to the lonely elderly people in the village.

Lin Qingyan thought she had gotten a great bargain, but she didn't know that the boss only spent a few cents per pound to buy these clothes.

She picked slowly, choosing some simple styles without any messy patterns, and clothes that would not be conspicuous even in the 70s. Lin Qingyan picked a lot in no time.

After the boss weighed the clothes, she paid readily and returned to the 70s with a big bag of clothes.

When she came out to cook dinner in the kitchen, she saw Gu Yizhou standing in the yard.

Gu Yizhou saw her coming out and asked her, "Did you look for me today?"

Lin Qingyan thought about going to see him at noon, and also thought about the big bag of clothes she had just brought back.

I said to him, “Yes, I found some of the things you asked me to find for you last time.

Today, I got a lot of clothes that no one else wears from a place. See if they need them." Lin Qingyan pointed in the direction of the cowshed.

Then he said to him, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, he went straight back to the house and took out the package he had bought at noon.

"These are the cotton shoes you asked me to buy, and some cloth. I also put two pieces of clothing in there. See if they can be worn by them. If they can, I have more."

Gu Yizhou looked at the big bag in front of him and was very grateful to Lin Qingyan. Although he could get the things, it would take some effort.

"How much are these? You must accept the money this time, otherwise I won't dare ask you to help carry things next time!"

Lin Qingyan thought about the number of cotton shoes inside and asked him for 10 yuan.

When she took the 10 yuan handed over by Gu Yizhou and just opened her mouth to speak, she heard the same sentence from the other side.

"I…"

"I…"

They both spoke at the same time, then paused and looked at each other.

Gu Yizhou motioned Lin Qingyan to speak first, and Lin Qingyan was not polite: "I may be busy for a while. If you need anything, you can leave a note. I will be back normally in the evening."

Gu Yizhou listened to her and said, "Well, I know. If I need anything, I will find time to tell you."

"So what did you want to tell me just now?" Lin Qingyan was curious about what he was about to say.

Gu Yizhou said seriously: "I have to be busy with some things recently, and I may not be at the educated youth site for a few days. When I leave, I will leave you a note.

Before I come back, could you please help look after my uncle and his family? You don't have to worry about them at other times. If anything happens to them, can you help look after them within your ability?"

He saw Lin Qingyan looking at him in confusion, and added: "Fang Yunxing wants to come with me, and I am worried about other people."

Lin Qingyan thought about it and nodded in agreement. Apart from their living problems, everything else should be fine.

Lin Qingyan was thinking about the store opening tomorrow, so the two didn't talk for too long and went their separate ways.

After a dreamless night, Lin Qingyan got up early the next morning. The store was opening today, so she had to go there early.

She only washed up at the educated youth point, and after washing up she went directly from the space to the modern world.

Lin Qingyan looked at the vegetables and fruits that filled the house, as well as the vegetables that were growing in the yard.

She thought about it for a long time and decided not to bring anything over. Just like Zhou Limei said, they had to limit the quantity.

Lin Qingyan bought breakfast from the morning market and arrived at the store by bike at 7 o'clock. She then called Zhou Limei.

"Qingyan, I'll take Tongtong to school first. I'll be there around 8 o'clock. We've chosen the store to open at 10:18, so there's no rush!"

"Okay, Sister Zhou, I'll clean the store first."

"We cleaned it up very well yesterday. Just take a rest. I'll be there soon."

After Lin Qingyan hung up the phone, she took out the key and opened the shop door. Although Zhou Limei asked her to rest, she couldn't help but clean the shop.

When Zhou Limei arrived, she was wiping the glass door of the shop.

"Didn't I tell you to rest?" Zhou Limei came in and took the rag from her hand.

"Go wash your hands and come over to rest for a while. The flower baskets and firecrackers I ordered will be delivered soon. When the time comes, we will set off firecrackers to officially open the business."

Not long after Zhou Limei arrived, Hengheng's mother came with a few other mothers. Each of them brought a flower basket and placed it at the door of the store, making the store feel like it was about to open.

"Tongtong's mom, congratulations on the opening of the store!"

"Limei, congratulations on the store opening!"

"Tongtong's mom, congratulations on the opening of the store!"

Zhou Limei saw several people coming to show their support and smiled to express her gratitude to them all, "Thank you all for coming. Please take a seat inside."

Lin Qingyan went to the inner room and washed a basket of white strawberries. She placed the washed strawberries on a transparent plate. Occasionally, a little pink could be seen on the white strawberries.

Just as I was about to take it out, I heard Zhou Limei's shout, "Qingyan, put down what you are doing and come out first, the person delivering the firecrackers is here!"
