Rebirth in 1980: The Farm Wife Makes a Comeback
Chapter 70: Opportunity

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Opportunity

Qin Xiangnuan was sitting upright, just waiting for the arrival of her little teacher, Qin Xiangyang. The elementary school curriculum was not difficult for her; what she wanted now was for Qin Xiangyang to fall in love with studying, even if it meant revisiting the material, rather than focusing all his attention on the bakery.

Alright, Qin Xiangyang took all the books out of his backpack, and then taught his sister word by word. He was trying very hard to teach, but unfortunately, he had never attended preschool and no one had taught him, so it was quite challenging for him.

However, he was very serious about it, teaching his sister everything the teacher had mentioned, even if it was just rote memorization. He started with Pinyin. As he taught, Qin Xiangnuan followed along, giving Qin Xiangyang the thrill of acting as a teacher. Because he needed to teach his sister after returning home, Qin Xiangyang, despite starting school late and being somewhat slow, was a well-liked and well-behaved child by his teachers. Moreover, he was very honest; when it came to cleaning, he never slacked off and was seen by the teachers as a good student and by the students as a big brother figure.

He had always taken care of his sister as she grew up, so unconsciously, he treated those younger than him as little brothers and sisters, helping with cleaning, stepping over high edges, and whatever else he could assist with.

Qin Xiangnuan was very satisfied with Qin Xiangyang’s performance at school.

Schooling was not just for the sake of attending school, but also for better adapting to the world.

No one understood better than Qin Xiangnuan what the future would hold.

Actually, their generation was somewhat better. In the future, it would be the era of the opportunists.

The business of the shop was quite stable, earning nearly a thousand yuan a month, all saved in the bank. Their family was not short on money, especially after the economic reforms, which changed a lot – heaven in one moment and hell in the next.

Putting money in the bank is not a long-term solution; thus, Qin Xiangnuan was thinking about how to use that money as investment. As she and her brother were quite young, for now, they just kept earning and saving more capital, also waiting for other opportunities that might come.

And the opportunity she mentioned came a year later. By then, Qin Xiangyang was in the second grade, and Qin Xiangnuan, at the age of seven, could start first grade. However, she hesitated about whether to continue her education.

Originally, she truly did not want to continue. She had learned with a system for nearly one and a half years, always being diligent and never slacking off, which significantly improved her brush writing skills in both hands.

But going to school did not conflict with the system.

Also, her elder brother insisted on her attending school, otherwise, he would quit school too.

Qin Xiangnuan did not attend school in her past life, and initially, she was reluctant to start, but when it came to school, she felt an indescribable sensation.

Actually, going to school was quite good.

She hadn’t attended school in her past life, but this life, she wanted to.

And the opportunity she mentioned, coincidentally, also arrived.

Not far from the bus station, there was a market available for leasing. Originally a factory’s vegetable market with not so great profits, it was up for lease to individuals for five thousand yuan. This was indeed a sky-high price for a lease term of only ten years. How the market would transform within those ten years was entirely up to the buyer.
