The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Lin Guojun looked at it again from beginning to end, and finally stood in front of the 2,800 yuan truck, his eyes filled with longing. He couldn't imagine how impressive it would be to drive it and collect garbage...

At this moment, Lin Dayuan walked up from behind and asked, "Dad, how did you find it? Are there any suitable ones?"

Hearing his son's voice, Lin Guojun snapped out of his reverie. "Yes, come on, let me show you. That young man spent ages explaining it to me. I think this is the one, it's only 1200."

Lin Guojun stopped in front of a vehicle. Lin Dayuan took one look and saw that the truck bed was small and the body was not very sturdy. No wonder it was cheap.

But he drives every day and doesn't have much of an attachment to cars. He doesn't have high requirements; as long as it works, that's fine.

"Okay, this one will do!"

The two of them started talking and walked back to find the staff member.

When they reached the 2,800 bus, Lin Guojun turned his head to look at it, a hint of reluctance in his eyes, before quickly looking away.

Lin Dayuan still caught this expression; his father seemed to prefer this car. When he came over earlier, the old man was standing in front of this car.

He had a plan in mind.

The young man noticed a young man standing next to the old man and walked towards him.

"Your father said he wants to wait for you to make a decision. What do you think? Have you made up your mind?"

"Okay, I've chosen this one!"

Lin Dayuan pointed to the car that cost 2,800.

The staff and Lin Guojun were both stunned, and asked at the same time, "The one that costs two thousand eight?!"

"Yes, that's the one."

"Son... didn't we agree on the one that costs 1200?"

“Your granddaughter said we’ll be driving this car for the rest of our lives, so we might as well buy a better one.”

Lin Guojun pulled his son aside and whispered, "It's too expensive. We only brought three thousand yuan. We still need to buy other supplies later."

"It's okay, Dad. Xiaoxi gave me another thousand before she left."

"That's too expensive! The car is nice, but we'll only be using it for our stall..."

"Alright, Dad, it's settled then. If we don't buy a good car, your granddaughter might make a fuss about returning it and buying a new one, and we'll get fined for returning it."

Sorry, honey, I'll take the blame for my dad and fulfill his filial duty.

After thinking it over, Lin Guojun realized that his granddaughter was indeed capable of such a thing, so he stopped talking about it.

"Young man, this is the one. How about... could you give me a discount or something?"

The staff were surprised that they would actually buy the car, and they gave Lin Dayuan a thumbs up in their hearts, thinking how filial he was!

"No problem, please wait for me a moment."

The boy went straight to the manager and started rattling off a string of words in Lin Guojun's direction.

Finally, the manager nodded impatiently and waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

Then the young man came running over excitedly, panting, and said, "I'll give you a 10% discount, so it's 2520 yuan. I'll also throw in some parts for you. You can replace any damaged parts yourself; you don't need to go to a repair shop."

The profit margin on this car is low, and normally there are no discounts. He really did his best.

Lin Guojun had also witnessed what had just happened. Knowing that the young man had a difficult time, he held his hand and thanked him repeatedly.

The boy felt the rough, somewhat prickly hands and his eyes welled up with tears. The hands were full of cracks and looked even older than his father's.

Before leaving, I gave the old man a few more parts.

After Lin Guojun left, he circled the car, looking at it from left to right, unable to put it down. Lin Dayuan felt happy but guilty seeing her father's joyful expression. In the end, it was her daughter who fulfilled the old man's wish.

"Dad, please get in the car. Let's buy everything first, and then we'll drive you to a less crowded place."

Lin Guojun had only ever driven tractors before, and had never driven a vehicle like this before. He was overjoyed at the thought that he would be able to drive it soon, and eagerly got on the vehicle.

Lin Xi had finished her run and was planning to meet up with her grandmother.

Lin Guiying was haggling with the spice vendor. In the end, she managed to cut the price down by ten yuan because she bought a lot. The vendor looked at his empty stall and bulging wallet, and happily packed up his stall. Overall, he still made a profit.

Lin Xi found a suitable spot at the entrance of the market and started building relationships with the surrounding stall owners.

"Wow, brother, I've never had such delicious pancakes before. Is this your family's recipe? We'll set up a stall here tomorrow too, but don't worry, it won't interfere with your business. Maybe we can even sell a few more pancakes..."

"Hey, ma'am, you must have sold a lot today. We'll try to set up a stall tomorrow too, but I don't know how it'll go. My dad quit his job, and if we don't sell well, the whole family will starve..."

"Oh, sir, I bought a lot of things from your store yesterday, and everything was wonderful..."

"You all have to come tomorrow, please try my dad's cooking..."

Seeing that her granddaughter's voice was hoarse from talking, Lin Guiying couldn't help but wonder when this child had become so talkative. Before, she would hide from strangers.

Lin Xi is still the same socially awkward Lin Xi, but as long as she can make money, she's not afraid of anything.

After a busy day, each carrying two large baskets, they walked back home. Passersby couldn't help but marvel at how strong the old lady and the little girl were, proving they were indeed from the same family.

As they neared home, a blue dot approached from afar; it was a blue tricycle. Lin Dayuan stood swaying precariously in the back of the vehicle, while Lin Guojun drove it with an imposing air.

"Xiaoxi, is that your dad? Is that our new car? It looks really nice."

The two waited at the gate for a while, and then Lin Guojun drove up to the door. He closed the car door in a cool manner, raised his head, and said with a grin, "Ying, how's this car? I've driven all the way back from the village."

"You're just showing off, did you buy everything?"

Lin Dayuan jumped out of the car. "Mom, we've bought everything. We can start tomorrow."

After they finished moving their belongings, they sat down at the table and took out the remaining money to start calculating the bill.

"How come you two only have so little left? Didn't Xiaoxi give you four thousand?"

Lin Guiying counted it several times, and it came to just over four hundred yuan.

"Oh, Mom, we saw a wholesale market where vermicelli, dried chili peppers, potatoes, and stuff like that are cheaper than here. They're buying things that can be stored for a while by the sack, and they also have gas stoves, plastic tables and chairs..."

Lin Guiying did some quick calculations and realized it didn't add up. "Where's the car? How much did you buy it for?"

Lin Dayuan closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and said, "2520."

Lin Xi thought it was quite cheap, but Lin Guiying immediately shouted, "What? Two thousand five?!"

Lin Guojun glanced guiltily at his son, and Lin Dayuan glanced guiltily at his daughter. Lin Xi, receiving their glances, immediately said, "Grandma, it's cheap. Even if it only lasts for ten years, it's only seven cents a day. You can earn that back by selling just one bowl of spicy hot pot."

"You can calculate things like that?"

"Of course, Grandma, hurry up and calculate how much we spent today."

After her granddaughter said that, Lin Guiying realized that it wasn't expensive at all, and she started calculating her own expenses again.

Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan looked at Lin Xi with admiration; Xiao Xi's mouth was truly capable of making the dead come back to life.

I spent four thousand yuan today, most of it on the car. The dried chili peppers I bought will last a long time, so there won't be any major expenses in the near future.

The group began preparing the ingredients, making the soup base, stir-frying the base sauce, and soaking the glass noodles, getting everything ready as they could.

Lin Xi prepared a quantity of one hundred bowls, and decided to test the waters on the first day.

After finishing their work, the group sneezed and shed tears as they ate a quick dinner.

It was midnight.

"Ying, doing business isn't easy. Just frying chili peppers is exhausting enough."

"I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm just afraid of losing money! Four thousand yuan a day is gone."

Upon hearing this, Lin Guojun quickly shut his mouth. If the topic of the car came up, his granddaughter wouldn't be able to help him.

Lin Xi is currently busy reading books and writing novels. Isn't she on vacation? Why is she busier than when she was in school?
