Chapter 575: Chapter 575: Yipin Fruits and Vegetables

When they returned to the family compound, they happened upon Lu Yichen right at the gate. The two children ran over, eager for him to pick them up, and Lu Yichen didn’t disappoint them, scooping up one in each arm and walking inside.

When they entered the house, the meal was already prepared, and their stepmother, Geng Mingli, called everyone to sit down and start eating.

Lu Yichen turned to his sister, "The college entrance exam is over; if you have nothing to do, go stay with Grandpa for a few days. He has mentioned you several times already."

Lu Yiting asked, "Big Brother, why don’t you ask how I did on the test?"

Lu Yichen pretended to flick her forehead, and Lu Yiting quickly dodged as her sister-in-law, Wang Xiaoxin, said, "Now that your exams are over, just relax properly. Come stay with me for a few days if you like."

Lu Yiting smiled and said, "Sure, thank you, sister-in-law."

Lu Yichen added, "Don’t think too much about it now that it’s over. Just take some time to relax."

After they finished the meal and cleaned up, Lu Xinyi gathered them in the living room and said, "I’ve asked you to come back to discuss Jianhua’s wedding arrangements. We’ve set the date for ten days from now, on a Sunday."

After a light cough, he continued, "The thing is, the apartment Jianhua applied for wasn’t very well-located, and his fiancée was a bit picky about it. Plus, she broke her leg, which delayed the wedding, so we had Jianhua cancel the unit with the intention of getting a better one.

Unfortunately, the official who promised them a new apartment got transferred, and they haven’t been allocated a new one in the meantime. Now, the bride’s side wants to use the room she’s occupying for her big brother’s wedding."

So that’s why Jianhua’s wedding is a bit rushed. Auntie Geng’s idea is to have Jianhua get married here first, and when his unit allocates an apartment, they’ll move out. What do you guys think?"

Neither brother said anything. Wang Xiaoxin felt somewhat displeased and spoke up, "Renting a place doesn’t cost that much. When we got married, we rented a place to live."

Cui Yueyue interrupted, "We clearly have rooms at home, why should we go out and rent?"

Geng Mingli sighed, ready to speak, but Lu Yixuan said, "There’s no need to discuss this with us. The house belongs to Dad; we have no objections."

Lu Yichen also spoke up, "I have no objections either. Dad, just make the decision."

Lu Yixuan then stood up and said, "If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving."

After returning to Ji City, Luo Qiao instructed Zhou Zhentao to bid on suitable properties. She asked him to take charge of the three northeastern provinces and quickly develop a plantation base in each provincial capital, naming it Yipin Fruits and Vegetables.

Further, she phoned the Xu siblings, who had just finished their college entrance exams, telling them to quickly consult and register the Yipin Fruits and Vegetables brand, as she intended to make this brand internationally renowned in the future.

Huo Yuhao had named Yin Dong’s shop Green Affinity. Following this, he opened three more Green Affinity branches in Ji City, with each one doing exceptionally well.

Huo Yuhao was no longer a one-man show; he now had over twenty employees. His mother and grandmother no longer had to work hard at their market stall.

Huo Yuhao was especially grateful to Luo Qiao. It could be said that she was his benefactor, so he included the word ’Affinity’ in his shop name. Following Luo Qiao’s advice, he busied himself with business during the day and attended night school in the evening, preparing for the self-taught examinations next year.

Having taken care of everything here, Luo Qiao started to pack for her return to the Capital. This time she was going back to school, having promised her class teacher, Teacher Ge, to prepare for her exams in the latter half of her final year of high school.

From the moment she boarded the train, she started to ponder what to do for the next six months. It was already 1982, and she still had a considerable amount of money left. Thinking of returning to the Capital, she decided to stock up on a few more properties there.

Around noon, a grandmother with a little boy took the seat across from her. They were both covered in sweat. The boy took a plaid handkerchief out of his pocket, "Grandma, wipe your sweat."

The grandmother smiled, "Good boy, you use it yourself. Grandma has a towel in her bag, or you’ll get your handkerchief dirty."

As she spoke, she rummaged through her bag and pulled out an old, nearly threadbare towel to wipe her face haphazardly.

Then, after searching through her bag again, she exclaimed, "Oh no, I was in such a hurry I forgot to bring the water bottle. What should we do now?"
