Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Ge Zehua said that land prices in Chengdu would skyrocket, and that people should take as much as they could now, and he wanted to bring Huo Zheng along with them.

Huo Zheng subtly indicated that he currently has limited funds and cannot afford to play big games.

Actually, he didn't want to be with Ge Zehua. There were too many people on Ge Zehua's side, and things were complicated.

He didn't want to get involved.

Guo Yongliang used to listen to his brother-in-law the most, but now that he has more confidence, he is not in a hurry to express his opinion.

Bai Zhenzhu had talked to him about land before. He hadn't dared to think about it before, but now he dared to.

The land is definitely valuable.

Land is always the most valuable asset, no matter the time.

Bai Zhenzhu was also listening. She usually got firsthand information from Ge Zehua, and even just hearing a sentence or two was very beneficial.

However, she is still poor compared to everyone here. If she wants to buy land and build a factory, she still needs to work hard to make money first.

The group ate from a little after 5 p.m. until after 9 p.m. before finally breaking up.

Only Ge Zehua, Guo Yongliang, and Huo Zheng drank alcohol; fortunately, there were quite a few people who could drive.

Shuo Shuo, like a little adult, saw the elders off to their cars:

"Auntie, please drive slowly."

"Goodbye Aunt Huo, Uncle Huo, and Big Brother Huo! Big Brother, remember to come visit me!"

"Godmother, my godfather is drunk. Hurry up and get in the car, don't let the wind blow on him."

"Uncle Jian and Aunt Zhong, please take care."

His mother, Bai Zhenzhu, had no room to maneuver.

Everyone else and the car have left.

Huo Zheng ruffled Shuo Shuo's hair and said to Bai Zhenzhu:

"You guys go first."

Bai Zhenzhu sincerely said:

"I really troubled Mr. Huo today. Shuo Shuo said he was very happy and even took a plane."

Huo Zheng laughed:

"They are all retired fighter jets and tanks; it's just for them to have some fun."

“If it weren’t for you, he would never have had the chance to fly in a fighter jet.” Bai Zhenzhu put her arm around her son’s shoulder. “Thank you so much.”

Shuo Shuo shouted loudly:

"Mom, Uncle Huo said this is a matter between men, so you don't need to thank me."

Huo Zheng nodded:

"Yes, this is between Shuo Shuo and me, so you don't need to thank me."

"Let's go back, Shuo Shuo must be tired."

Shuo Shuo was too excited today:

"I'm not tired, but my mom must be. Goodbye, Uncle Huo."

He then waved to Huo Huaying and Jiang Junzhuo:

"Goodbye, Aunt Huo and Big Brother."

Bai Zhenzhu also said goodbye to Huo Huaying and her son, and drove her son home.

Now that it was just the mother and son, Shuo Shuo was even more excited:

"Mom, I even touched a gun today, a real gun!"

Seeing him like this, Bai Zhenzhu felt very gratified.

Despite having a scumbag father, the other men around Shuo Shuo are all very upright people. Influenced by them, Shuo Shuo has become more and more cheerful and lively.

"My son will definitely be a very capable man."

"Of course, I will protect my country when I grow up." Shuo Shuo proudly puffed out his chest.

The People's Liberation Army soldier said today that if Uncle Huo hadn't been injured, he would have stayed in the army.

When Shuo Shuo secretly saw Uncle Huo touching those guns, his eyes showed reluctance.

When I got home, the courtyard was quiet.

As soon as Bai Zhenzhu closed the door, Li Xiufen came out wearing a coat.

"came back?"

"You're back, Mom. What are you doing up? Go back to sleep."

Shuo Shuo also said:

"Grandma, it's so cold outside, don't catch a cold."

Li Xiufen finally had a chance to speak:

"There's hot water on the stove, soak your feet to warm them up."

White Pearl fastened the courtyard gate:

"We know, you should go to sleep."

Li Xiufen kept rambling on:

"I'm going to sleep now. I can't sleep soundly without you guys coming back."

Bai Zhenzhu was both amused and exasperated; the old lady just loved to worry.

She went back to her room to put away her bag and car keys. When she returned to the living room, Shuo Shuo had already brought over a foot bath and was adding water.

"Mom, you wash first."

Bai Zhenzhu felt a surge of tenderness in her heart; her son was becoming more and more sensible.

She tested the water temperature, and it was just right.

After she washed her feet, Shuo Shuo started washing them directly in the water his mother had used:

"Mom's feet don't smell, so I don't dislike her."

Bai Zhenzhu looked at her son:

"Shuo Shuo, are you happy to come to Chengdu with Mommy?"

"I'm so happy, so incredibly happy," Shuo Shuo said. "I'll be able to see my older brother and the others during the Spring Festival, and I can also go back to my hometown. That makes me even happier."

Bai Zhenzhu gently rubbed her son's head:

"Wash your feet, and then wash your face."

That night, Shuo Shuo hummed "Returning from Target Practice" as he went to sleep.

Next, Bai Zhenzhu mainly focused on selling goods in the store.

February 9th this year is Lunar New Year's Eve, which is only 20 days away from the Spring Festival.

Business has been booming lately, and with the addition of spring collections, the Mingzhu Plaza store has over 200,000 yuan worth of merchandise, which is more than enough.

By the end of January, the store's business had reached its peak, with daily turnover of at least seven or eight thousand.

Old Man Bai went back to his old ways, dressed neatly and standing guard at the shop entrance.

Li Xiufen and Sister Luo stayed home to take care of the children.

January passed quickly, and Liu Fang and Xu Yin sent their dividends again.

Chaoyang Building became a hit in Yuan County, and the hot pot restaurant was doing very well. Liu Fang transferred a total of more than 69,000 yuan to Bai Zhenzhu.

The skewers and hot pot restaurants in the food court were doing very well, and Xu Yin transferred more than 43,000 yuan.

In the afternoon, Bai Chengxiang delivered 28,000 yuan.

I deposited the white pearls along with the money, and now my total savings amount to more than 126 million.

She roughly estimated that the money in the passbook kept by Li Yueshu in Yuan County hadn't been touched last month, and with the year-end sales of all the stores on both sides, it was enough to purchase more goods.

Bai Chengxiang accompanied Bai Zhenzhu to deposit the money.

"Second Brother, come home for dinner." Bai Zhenzhu thought that Bai Chengxiang ate out every day, so she invited him to eat something good at home to nourish himself. "Sister Luo's braised duck is ready. I asked her to stew one for dinner tonight."

It was getting late, and the braised meat shop was about to close, so Bai Chengxiang readily agreed.

"Okay, I'm tired of eating out every day."

He went back to the courtyard house first, while Bai Zhenzhu's side would close a little later.

The store has been closing quite late these past few days.

By the time Bai Zhenzhu and the others returned home, dinner was already prepared.

A stove was lit in the living room, and everyone gathered around it to warm themselves while watching TV.

When Sister Luo saw that everyone had returned, she quickly went to serve the dishes and rice.

Li Xiufen said happily:

"You're back so late today, business must be good?"

White Pearl nodded:

"Yes, today is better than the past few days."

Since the end of January, the store's daily turnover has exceeded 10,000 yuan.

Especially today, it's already approaching 20,000.

Many companies have already given employees time off to prepare for the Chinese New Year, and people are buying clothes from store to store.

The store still carries men's clothing, and coats and down jackets are selling very well.

Men value quality most when buying clothes; a coat that costs four or five hundred yuan can last them many years.

The family discussed New Year's preparations while eating.

White Pearl said:

"It's Lunar New Year's Eve on the 9th, and we need to get home by the 8th at the latest. I plan to go back to Yuan County on the 7th. What about you, Second Brother?"

Bai Chengxiang said:

“I’ll stay with you. I’ll post the vacation notices in the next few days, and if anyone wants to place an order, let them do so in advance.”

Time is running out, and we really can't delay any longer.

Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment and said:

"Second brother, you can organize an end-of-year promotion, with discounts and free gifts, or buy five braised chickens and get one free. During the Spring Festival, everyone visits relatives, and with the food for guests at home, five or six chickens are not too many."
