Chapter 368: Chapter 368: It’s Snowing

"Buy Granny Lu a scallion pancake shop, eh," Qin Xiangnuan took another look around. The unfinished construction would eventually be completed. Although it’s remote right now, it won’t be in the future. Before long, a university will be built here, along with a new campus for Bayi Primary School. A road will be built as well, so people won’t have to detour through the park anymore. Plus, the local snacks here will form a kind of atmosphere in the future. The most important thing is, it’s really close to home, just a few steps away, and of course not far from our own vegetable plot. She had calculated the time for the park; it couldn’t last more than a year before being demolished. The park will be torn down to build tall buildings, and then these snacks won’t be sold anymore. Granny Lu has always been doing business these past few years. If she were really left idle, she might not be used to it. So, Qin Xiangnuan is planning to buy a shop here. When the time comes, business will surely be good. In her previous life, she had walked through here several times, and indeed, a shop here was hard to come by, with no one willing to transfer or rent it out. Though small, it really makes good money, and she can later hire a few people to help Granny Lu, who would just need to handle the money.

"Ah, you child, always daydreaming about things," Granny Lu didn’t think so much, "We already have so many rooms at home, what do we need one for? Come on, let’s go home. Granny made you dumplings; I’ll cook them for you to eat."

"Sure," Qin Xiangnuan smiled and didn’t bring up the matter again. Granny Lu is quite conservative, and even though they have money at home now, she’s used to being frugal, so Qin Xiangnuan knew that she wouldn’t buy this place. However, it would be fine if she bought it herself.

Anyway, buying this place wouldn’t result in a loss. Actually, she wanted to buy more, but that depended on whether the owners were willing to sell.

Although she wasn’t filthy rich, she liked to use her current money for future investments.

Granny Lu went back and immediately started making dumplings, insisting that Qin Xiangnuan not help. Jian Zhiqing just woke up and looked much better. Although he wasn’t radiantly glowing, he almost didn’t look tired anymore.

Both of them had eaten Granny Lu’s dumplings, so they definitely wouldn’t be hungry that night.

Qin Xiangnuan always remembered the shop. If she hadn’t seen it by chance, she would have forgotten. The park won’t last much longer, so she had to find another place for Granny Lu to sell her goods. Granny Lu is someone who can’t stay idle.

Staying here all day just eating and drinking isn’t good for Granny Lu’s mood or health.

When she had time, she went to find the person in charge of those shops. Indeed, they were all intended to be rented out, and none was for sale. Qin Xiangnuan wondered if these people also knew about the future plans for roads, schools, and universities in the area. However, she felt that wasn’t very likely, since these events were still a few years away.

She was quite disappointed that the shops weren’t for sale, but she wasn’t too downhearted. At most, she’d just rent them for several years, which would still be profitable. She left her contact information, not really expecting to buy, just in time for her upcoming test.

After entering the third year of high school, there were almost daily tests. She had become numbs to them. But whenever a test came, it was the busiest time for these students: answering test papers, teachers giving extra lessons, and self-studying all took several days. Due to being so busy, she forgot about buying those unfinished shops until one day, Granny Lu told her someone surnamed Qiao was looking for her.

Qiao, Qin Xiangnuan had quite a fondness for this surname, only because she particularly liked watching "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and the character Qiao Feng. So she remembered the name Qiao, and to date, aside from Qiao Feng, there was only that person who said she wanted to sell the shop, but others did not want to sell.

After eating, she took a stroll to find that person surnamed Qiao.

As soon as that person saw her, he talked to her about something.

Qin Xiangnuan was pretty dazed after hearing it. She looked up at the sky.

"What are you looking at?" The person surnamed Qiao wondered at Qin Xiangnuan’s sudden action. Is there something in the sky? Is it a plane or a bird?

"I’m looking at..." Qin Xiangnuan sighed softly.

"Did a pie fall from the sky?"

The person surnamed Qiao couldn’t help but chuckle, "Actually, I also feel like you’ve been hit by a pie. The boss initially didn’t want to sell at all, but recently he’s had some family issues and urgently needed money. Also, it’s time to pay the workers now, and Old Xi really couldn’t manage the finances, so he decided to sell one set. You saw for yourself; our place here has two levels with the stairs in the back, not affecting each other. You can live upstairs and run a shop downstairs."

"If you want it, it’s just ten thousand yuan, paid in full."

Ten thousand yuan? Qin Xiangnuan actually felt quite reluctant about this price, but at the time it wasn’t too much after all, since it was to buy a shop, not for personal living. As far as she knew, the rent for the shops here would be around ten thousand yuan a month later on.

Using the future one month’s rent to buy a shop, not a bit of remorse.

But by the current price standards, it’s terrifyingly expensive.

However, no matter how expensive, in the end, she bit the bullet and bought it. She withdrew the money from the bank, handed over the cash, and completed the formalities. The person surnamed Qiao let her choose any set, and she chose the middle one, quite large, nearly fifty square meters downstairs, not to mention the additional ten-plus square meters in the back and parking space in the front, all belonging to the private property of the shop. Not to mention, upstairs could be for living or transformed into a two-story restaurant.

She told no one about buying the shop, not even Jian Zhiqing. In the future, it would be a surprise gift for Granny Lu.

Then a gust of cold wind blew over, and it seemed that some icy droplets fell on her face.

Qin Xiangnuan reached out her hand, and unbeknownst to her, it had started snowing. Thank goodness, she sighed in relief. The greenhouse was covered with glass, and inside, the seedlings were doing well. If it had been plastic, she would be crying in this snowy weather.

Back in her hometown, when she was still Wang Dali’s wife, every time it snowed, she had to get up in the middle of the night to sweep the snow off the greenhouses. After sweeping one, she had to move on to the next; if she was slow, and the greenhouses collapsed, she would be viciously beaten by Wang Dali. Summers were alright, but winters were her nightmare.
