Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Lin Qingyan picked up her phone and saw that it was Zhou Limei calling.

"Hello, Miss Zhou."

Zhou Limei's voice came from the other side, which was obviously very excited.

"Qingyan, I have already signed the contract for the store and am looking for someone to renovate it. The renovation will take about half a month, and we can open it in half a month."

"Okay, Sister Zhou, you are really amazing. You got it done so quickly."

"It's not that I'm good, it's the mothers in the group who urged me to deliver the vegetables. I said I haven't chosen a store yet, and someone helped me choose a store and even negotiated the monthly rent for me."

Zhou Limei's tone was very happy.

"Where are the stores? Are they the ones we looked at?"

"It's the last store we looked at yesterday, the one with two floors. It happens to be a relative of a young woman. He's not short of money, and the monthly rent is very low."

Zhou Limei smiled and continued, "There is a prerequisite. She must buy a portion of vegetables every time and she must pay the normal price. I agree to this."

"Really? That's great." Lin Qingyan was genuinely happy.

"It's true. The monthly rent is 2000 yuan for two floors. The price is very cheap. I paid the monthly rent for a year."

"Sister Zhou, how much did you pay in total this time? I'll transfer it to you."

"Don't worry, wait until the decoration company is done, I'll pay first, and we'll settle it together at the end."

"Okay, tell me when you're done."

"I almost forgot what I was doing. I called you to tell you that our store is already under renovation. Please get your vegetables and fruits ready."

Zhou Limei rubbed her head on the other end of the phone. She had been a little excited and a little tired these past two days.

"Sister Zhou, don't worry about these. I can't help with other things, but these things won't hold us back." Lin Qingyan assured repeatedly.

After Zhou Limei repeatedly reminded her, she hung up the phone. Lin Qingyan then continued to look at the greenhouse situation, found the phone number displayed on it, and called it.

"Hello, who is this?" A rough male voice came from the phone.

Lin Qingyan was still sitting on the steps by the roadside at this time, and asked on the phone: "Hello, can you install a greenhouse?"

"Yes, where are you installing it? How many acres do you need to install it?"

"It's probably less than an acre of land, and it's up the mountain. Is it convenient for you to get there?"

"On the mountain? Where on the mountain? Can the car drive in? Is the road easy to drive on?"

"The car can't drive in, you need to walk a distance to get up."

"Where exactly is it on the mountain? How long does it take to walk there?"

"It'll only take about an hour to walk."

"Girl, are you kidding me? Do you think I'm a fool? It's another hour away. Are you crazy?" The man on the other end hung up the phone cursing.

Lin Qingyan looked at her phone in bewilderment. What did this mean? Why didn't she want to do it?

She took her phone and continued searching online. She found another company and called them. The same conversation happened and the call was hung up after a few words.

Lin Qingyan didn't believe it and called again. The last person told her:

"Sister, it's true that we make money, and we won't turn away business. You said we have to walk for an hour in the mountains.

Who is stupid enough to build a greenhouse deep in the mountains instead of in a place with convenient transportation? Who builds a greenhouse if not to make money? Even if the greenhouse is built well, it will be difficult to sell things in the mountains. "

Lin Qingyan said quickly, "Brother, I built it for my grandparents. The roads are slippery in winter, and I'm worried that it's unsafe for them to go down the mountain to buy vegetables, so I want to build a house to grow vegetables for themselves."

The person on the other side softened his tone a little, "Then you don't need to build a lot of greenhouses. A few acres of land will be enough for your own food."

"Then can you help build it on the mountain?" Lin Qingyan asked quickly.

The person on the other side hesitated and said, “The weather may not be very good recently. It is still a bit risky to go up the mountain. Moreover, it is a bit difficult to carry such heavy materials manually.

Besides, the workers under him also have other work to do and may not have time to go for the time being. ” This is a refusal.

Lin Qingyan was a little disappointed when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she asked, "If we don't need your help to transport the materials, can we install them?"

"You won't let us get the materials up there?" the man opposite asked uncertainly.

"Yes, we will find a way to solve the material transportation problem ourselves. When the time comes, can you come up the mountain to help with the installation? Is that okay?"

"Of course you can, but we need at least two people to do the installation. We originally provided free installation services at the foot of the mountain, but the mountain is too far away and it is difficult to walk there. We need to pay extra for each person who goes up the mountain to install it."

The man on the phone asked for more money.

Lin Qingyan thought for a moment and asked, "How many people should be assigned? How much should each person be paid?"

"Forget it, let's just arrange two people and give each of them 2 yuan. It's not easy for the girl." The man opposite quoted a price.

Lin Qingyan agreed, "Okay, Boss, where is your store? I'll go over there tomorrow to buy the materials, and then we can discuss the installation time."

After writing down the address sent by the boss, Lin Qingyan got up and walked towards the abandoned yard. She returned to the space and sat under the pavilion beside the well, looking at the pile of vegetable seeds on the stone table.

Lin Qingyan planned how much of each kind to plant. She used a rake to divide the land into several areas, scattered the seeds on the ground, and watered them directly with water from the well. Then she left the space and returned to the 70s.

It is already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time in winter, every household has started preparing dinner. It gets dark early in winter, so after eating early, you can curl up on the kang and rest.

Some families chat and talk at night, while others, like the educated youth group, go to bed early.

Lin Qingyan boiled some water in the kitchen and saved it for washing at night.

Just heat up the big steamed bun you bought last time directly in the pot, pair it with the pickled cucumbers you made yourself, and have a simple bite.

When she boiled the water, she saw Ye Yi walking out of the yard and heading straight towards her.

Lin Qingyan stood up and walked out, asking, "Did you go to see Wang Lanlan?"

Ye Yi couldn't help but complain,

"Don't you see what time it is? It's almost dark. Do you think I can hold on until now without looking for her? I wish I had gone to look for her last night."

Lin Qingyan smiled and asked, "Have you discussed it? What are you going to do?"

"Well, after discussing it with Wang Lanlan, we can do the same as last time and sell some at the market when the market is open.

You can also go to the county town, visit the factory staff quarters, and try walking the streets. "Ye Yi paused here.

She continued, "I think her later suggestion is also very good, and I plan to follow her and give it a try."

Lin Qingyan agreed, "That's totally fine. Wang Lanlan is very brave. You should pay attention to safety. Sometimes it's better to give up something than to get yourself into trouble."

"Yeah, I know. By the way, Wang Lanlan said something today." Ye Yi's eyes flashed with excitement when she said this.

"What makes you so excited?" Lin Qingyan was also a little curious.

"It's Wang Xiangyu."
