Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 201 Preparations before going home

The next morning, Lin Qingyan delivered the dishes to the store. She and Zhou Limei worked for a while, but it was still before 10 o'clock and all the ordered dishes and fruits were picked up.

"Sister Zhou, how do I send this bamboo basket and bamboo handicrafts?"

"Don't worry about that. I've already contacted a car and they'll come to pick you up when the time comes."

"How much does the car cost per trip?"

"The car from the store next door didn't ask for money, just asked us to let her cut in line to buy some vegetables. I told her that she really couldn't cut in line and gave her money, but in the end she still didn't want money, and asked us to let her buy some fruit."

Zhou Limei laughed when she said this.

"Then I sold her this week's white strawberries."

Lin Qingyan gave her a thumbs up, which she of course learned from Tongtong.

"Sister Zhou, I'm glad you helped me."

Zhou Limei smiled and patted her, "Don't try to flatter me like Tongtong, I won't fall for it."

Even though he said this, the smile on his face was bigger than before.

"I told the buyers yesterday that the items have been prepared and have arrived. I agreed with them to deliver them tonight when I feel comfortable. After all, some children don't go home at noon."

"Okay, this order is finally completed. It was weighing on my mind, and I was always worried that it would delay the child's birthday."

Lin Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. During this period of time, she was really worried that she would not be able to complete the task and would have a hard time explaining to the buyer.

"It's okay. Even if you can't finish it on time, you can still use other methods to make up for it." Zhou Limei comforted her.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Qingyan said that it was time to go home for the New Year.

"Sister Zhou, I plan to go on a long trip after the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. I won't be able to come and deliver the food for about half a month."

"The 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month? So early?" Zhou Limei knew that Lin Qingyan would be going out around the New Year, but she didn't expect her to go out so early.

"Yes, it will take 3-4 days on the road. In total, I can't come here for 15 days." Lin Qingyan explained gently.

"Okay, I'll tell the group before I come. There's still a week to prepare. If you can send as many vegetables and fruits that can be stored for a long time as possible, I'll send as many as possible."

Zhou Limei’s mind is now full of how to talk to customers and how to comfort them.

"Okay, I'll bring some more over here every day these days. There are still a lot of things like winter melons and pumpkins, as well as quite a few potatoes and some fruits that can be stored. I'll make a few more trips these days."

Lin Qingyan was also thinking about what could be stored in the space.

Zhou Limei said to her, "How about you go back first? Can Tongtong come over before school is over this afternoon? I can just send her off. Will you be able to go back in time?"

"It's not too late! I'll be back right away."

Lin Qingyan thought that not only was it in time, but even running 4-5 times would also be in time. It was just that the round trip time was too short, which would make Zhou Limei suspicious.

On her way back, she stopped at the wholesale market and bought some hair accessories that could be sold for Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan. She also bought a lot of candy, preparing one for Xu Jianshan and the others and keeping one to take home.

I walked around the wholesale market and bought everything I could and couldn’t afford.

She even ran to Aunt Wu's house and bought a few buckets of soy sauce and vinegar, and two jars of wine. After promising to send another batch of dishes to her house tomorrow, she left satisfied. Aunt Wu also picked up the phone with satisfaction and told her daughter-in-law the good news.

Lin Qingyan brought the things back to the space and had a simple meal in the space. Then she pulled a cart for storing products from the space and delivered it to the store.

"Qingyan, you're so fast!"

Zhou Limei was surprised that she had run back and forth before three o'clock. She couldn't help but wonder where Lin Qingyan's home was. However, as soon as the thought came to her mind, she shook her head and dismissed it.

Time passed quickly. When the owner of the shop next door received the winter melon and pumpkin specially sent by Zhou Limei, she directly moved the bamboo basket to her pickup truck and took Lin Qingyan and Zhou Limei to Tongtong's school.

They arrived at the place agreed with the buyer half an hour in advance, moved some of the things down and put them on the ground, and put the rest in the car, waiting for the children to get out of school.

In fact, after the last few classes today, the children will have a holiday, and many family members came to the school gate early to wait.

Modern people pay attention to the sense of ritual, and of course children cannot do without a sense of ritual when they are on holiday. Some parents even bring milk tea and cakes to pick up their children, so that the children can experience a happy holiday.

The buyer smiled and walked over to Zhou Limei to say hello: "You guys came so early?"

"It just so happens that today is the young master's birthday, and we can't delay him from giving his gifts to his classmates."

Zhou Limei chatted with her with a smile, pointing at several bamboo baskets on the ground and the bamboo baskets on the car.

"Please check. There are 55 bamboo baskets, and each basket contains 10 bamboo woven items of different shapes."

The woman walked up and looked at a few of them at random, then said to Zhou Limei with satisfaction, "I trust Boss Zhou's work. Thank you Boss Zhou for these."

"I should be the one thanking you. Not only did you prepare a birthday gift for the young master, you also helped the farmers. The people who weave these handicrafts don't have very good family conditions. Your order really helps them a lot."

Zhou Limei's compliments made the buyer very happy. When she was about to give this to her son's classmate, her husband complained that the gift she bought was not high-end enough.

This time she went back and told him that she was helping farmers and doing good deeds.

A few people were talking happily, and people around them gathered around to watch the big scene they were making, almost attracting the urban management staff.

When the children came out of school, the buyer brought her son and sent a child in a bamboo basket, which attracted more people to watch and brought more orders to Lin Qingyan.

This also allows more than a dozen families in Xishui Village, headed by Hu Zi's family, to earn 1-3 yuan every day by weaving bamboo products, which is a considerable amount in a month.

Therefore, they protected Lin Qingyan within their own scope and did not allow other people in the village to bully or speak ill of Lin Qingyan. Of course, most people in the village would not speak ill of Lin Qingyan in order to get orders.

Of course, these are things that happened later.

At this time, after Lin Qingyan handed out the last bamboo basket, she truly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she turned to look at Tongtong who was standing beside her. Lin Qingyan reached out and picked up Tongtong.

"Is our Tongtong going to have a holiday starting today?"

"Yes, Sister Qingyan, Tongtong is on vacation! She doesn't have to do homework anymore and can go out and play."

Zhou Limei also looked at her daughter and said to her with a smile:

"Then next week, mom wants to go on a trip with Tongtong, will you go, Tongtong?"

Zhou Limei also took the opportunity to make travel plans.
