Lin Fan wasn't doing this to save a few dozen yuan on transportation costs; his main reason was to go back with the convoy so he could keep an eye on things at the factory and find someone to unload the goods.

Then we can officially start work the day after tomorrow. Starting work sooner will put the fifty workers at ease!

After discussing the final details, Lin Fan left the factory with Lin Shuying.

Stepping outside and breathing in the fresh air, Lin Fan finally felt much more relaxed. With that huge weight lifted off his shoulders, the road ahead would be much smoother!

"Honey, did we really succeed?"

Lin Shuying was still somewhat dazed at this moment.

She never imagined that they would actually be able to acquire that batch of goods at such a low price.

Lin Fan smiled, reached out and took Lin Shuying's hands, saying, "What's wrong? Do you have so little faith in your husband?"

Lin Shuying shook her head, and said somewhat awkwardly, "No, I just think that since we set such a low price, no one will be willing to cooperate with us..."

Lin Shuying had witnessed firsthand the intensity of the opposition expressed by people including Tao Changji.

What Lin Shuying didn't expect was that Lin Fan successfully grasped the factory manager's psychology, ultimately persuading Factory Manager Qu Tai to agree to the cooperation request.

"Haha, it's all about human effort, and I'm so glad you reminded me of this."

"It's still early. We'll go back with the convoy tomorrow. How about we go sightseeing today?"

Lin Shuying thought for a moment and then said, "It's fine to browse around, but you can't buy as much stuff as you did last time!"

When Lin Fan returned from his last trip to the provincial capital, he had bought a lot of things and spent a lot of money.

It's not that Lin Shuying is stingy; it's just that they've been short of money lately, so they can't spend money as lavishly as before. They need to save where they can.

How could Lin Fan not understand what Lin Shuying was thinking? So he smiled and pinched her nose, saying, "Hahaha, little housekeeper, I know. I'll just take you for a casual stroll and buy you some small trinkets that cost a few dozen yuan to make you happy. I won't buy you a whole bunch of gifts like last time."

"Okay, where do we go?"

Lin Fan hadn't really decided where to go, but it was still very early, not even 2 p.m., and they weren't going home until tomorrow, so there was nothing else to do.

Lin Fan looked up at the surrounding shops and suddenly had an idea.

"Honey, do you want to go to the movies? You've never seen a movie before, have you?"

To be honest, I've never had a proper date with Lin Shuying in all my years!

Now that he had finally found this opportunity and had some free time, Lin Fan naturally wanted to deepen his relationship with Lin Shuying.

Watching movies in this era is not as common as it is in the future. There aren't even many movie theaters, and movie theaters don't have any of those gimmicky things like 3D or glasses-free technology.

In the original city, there was only one movie theater, and on weekdays only young people from very well-off families would go to see it.

The price is outrageously high, more than 20 yuan for a movie ticket. In this day and age, more than 20 yuan is equivalent to three or four days' income for an average family.

"See a movie?"

"I've heard that people in the city all go to the movies, but the prices seem pretty expensive. Maybe I should just forget about it!"

These days, even home televisions are black and white, so a movie theater screen with a color picture on it must be a high-end thing for Lin Shuying.

"It's okay, honey!"

"We've grown up so much, and we've never really had a proper relationship. Just think of it as reliving our first love with me. What, you don't want to?"

Lin Shuying's face flushed slightly.

"Oh dear, we're an old married couple now, not children anymore."

"If you want to, then go ahead!"

"Hehe, let's go see if any good movies are showing today!"

Lin Fan pulled Lin Shuying along, and the two quickly arrived at the movie theater.

After much deliberation, the two finally chose a famous animated film, Tom and Jerry, which was scheduled to start in half an hour.

Many people think that Tom and Jerry is a product of the new era, but in fact, this movie was already popular all over the world in the 1970s and 1980s.

However, because their country was still in a state of reconstruction at that time, and the people's living conditions were relatively poor, they had never even heard of such high-end things.

And so, Lin Shuying and Lin Fan spent more than two hours in the movie theater watching several movies with no dialogue, including one about a cat and a mouse.

During the interview, Lin Shuying and Lin Fan were both amused and laughed heartily. Like any ordinary young couple, they enjoyed a rare moment of quiet time alone in the movie theater, their hearts filled only with each other.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when I walked out of the movie theater.

Lin Fan then took Lin Shuying to a clothing store in the city and bought her a few more clothes.

Although Lin Shuying insisted that she already had enough clothes and didn't need to buy any more, Lin Fan still picked out a few pretty ones for her.

He claimed that Lin Shuying would accompany him to various events in the future, and how could he not have a few decent clothes to wear?

Then it was dinnertime. After the two of them finished eating, it got dark, so they took a walk hand in hand in the park near the hotel.

Because of the cover of night, Lin Shuying became much bolder and less shy than before. Holding Lin Fan's hand, she felt less nervous and shy, and more of a sense of inexplicable tranquility and sweetness.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling their hair.

The two walked quietly, neither speaking, but their hearts seemed to be in sync, tightly bound together.

"Wife, I wish we could always walk together like this."

As he walked, Lin Fan murmured a sigh.

Lin Shuying smiled gently and said, "Yes, I also want to be with you forever and never be separated."

"Do you think when we're in our seventies or eighties, as an old couple, we'll still be holding hands and taking walks in the park like we are now?"

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I definitely will!"

"By the way, honey, didn't you always say you wanted to improve your spoken English?"

"While I was shopping just now, I saw an advertisement that the local TV station is recruiting voice actors. Do you want to give it a try?"

One of the current national policy slogans is to align with international standards, so people who are good at foreign languages ​​are highly sought after, in high demand, and have promising futures.
