Chapter 182: Chapter 182 The Big Uncle Has Come

"So much?" Lu Siyuan was also surprised for a moment.

Previously, the two of them were only focused on making money from winter melons and never had the time to calculate the profits. They hadn’t expected there to be so much.

"In the future, we will make even more money." Shen Mianmian said happily, her eyes narrowing as she painted a rosy picture for Lu Siyuan.

People always say that money in the eighties and nineties was easy to come by. With the economic reforms and the national encouragement for farmers to start businesses and become self-employed, many lacked the courage to take the plunge. But those who did, if not making a fortune, certainly lived a much better life than average.

Shen Mianmian was very confident, believing that as long as she and Lu Siyuan had the courage and trusted each other to work hard together, they could definitely achieve a comfortable life as well.

"Do you even need to say it?" Lu Siyuan scornfully snorted. He was even more confident than Shen Mianmian, and by their plans, they were bound to make big money in the future.

After graduating from university, they wouldn’t take jobs assigned by the state but would become their own bosses instead. Perhaps by then, they could be like Brother He, able to help those they wished to help.

Who knows, he might even have business dealings with Brother He in the future.

Shen Mianmian organized the money Lu Siyuan made from selling bamboo baskets and placed it on a stool beside them, "This time we made four yuan and seven jiao. I will top it up to five yuan to serve as our capital."

"Then I’ll talk to Grandpa later and put in five yuan too," Lu Siyuan said.

"No need for now," Shen Mianmian refused. "Our winter melon business is small now and doesn’t need much capital. Five yuan is enough. Once we make money, we just need to separate out these five yuan of capital."

"That works, too."

Lu Siyuan agreed, thinking to himself that he had no intention of coveting Shen Mianmian’s money. Judging by the speed of their earnings, they could recoup the capital by tomorrow.

Shen Mianmian, holding the money earned from selling winter melons, said, "After we finish eating, we’ll take the money to your aunt."

Lu Siyuan nodded in agreement and went to the chicken coop, returning with three eggs.

For lunch, he also made hand-pulled noodles, cracking the eggs directly into the pot of noodles, filling the entire kitchen with the aromatic scent of the dough.

Having an extra person at the table, Grandpa Lu was very happy. Siyuan normally had no one to play with and now that he had a friend, he smiled more and talked more.

Outside the weather was clear and warm, so Lu Siyuan moved the table to the courtyard. The three had just started eating when Lu Dagang and his wife arrived.

"Dad, Siyuan, you’re eating? Mianmian is here too?"

Zhang Changchun wore a ingratiating smile on his face. Seeing Shen Mianmian there, the worry in his heart immediately eased.

With her present, there was no need to worry about the money.

"Dagang, Changchun, have you eaten?" Upon seeing his son and daughter-in-law, Grandpa Lu’s face beamed with joy.

Getting on in years, he enjoyed a lively atmosphere and being surrounded by his family. But he also knew that old people could be nuisances, so even though he lived close by, he rarely visited Lu Dagang’s home.

"We’ve eaten," Lu Dagang replied and then asked with concern, "Dad, how’s your health lately? Does your back still hurt?"

"I’m well, and you don’t need to worry about me," Grandpa Lu said with a smile full of wrinkles.

Besides his aching back and difficulty hearing, everything else was fine.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Changchun’s gaze fell on Shen Mianmian’s bowl. Noticing she was eating white noodles with an egg yolk, a touch of discomfort stirred within her.

With a sour tone, she said, "Oh! Eating white noodles, I see. And there’s even an egg."
