Rebirth and Raising a Baby

The taste of the tea restaurant is good, but that's all.

It didn't surprise Lin Ling too much.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, the two wandered the streets.

This is a relatively prosperous center, so there is still a lot of traffic.

The shops on the street are basically open, except for one dry goods store, which has not opened yet.

"It seems that there is no room!"

Lin Ling clicked his tongue, making it difficult to find.

"Let's take a look again. You can go back one street."

"Which side?"

"We walked over there just now, I see there is still a street with facades on both sides!"

"That!"

Lin Ling almost thought he was talking about the row of facades in the opposite residential building.

She will never consider it.

It's not a big problem.

The price will be cheaper.

However, buildings in residential areas need to be more practical.

Hardware stores, breakfast shops, barber shops, and convenience stores are all very convenient.

In such a place, it is difficult to open a shop that is compelling.

The flow of people will also be greatly reduced.

This is why the rent is cheap.

"Let's go!"

After the two of them finished shopping in a street, Chu Yi took a lot of things in his hands.

Like dolls bought in toy stores, and Portuguese egg tarts, lemonade, etc. bought in bakeries
walking back.

It's obviously more lively here.

There are some clothing stores outside, and when you walk inside, there are more catering shops.

There are several empty doors for the goals of their line of business.

"Is the business here not good?"

Lin Ling couldn't help feeling suspicious.

With so many empty facades, it's all money!
"How about we ask someone?"

Chu Yi encouraged her.

Lin Ling thought for a while and nodded.

The two found a western food restaurant that sold char siu ramen and various fried foods.

"Can you still eat?"

Lin Ling glanced at Chu Yi.

Although she knew that this man was a good eater, she couldn't help but ask this question every time.

Chu Yi naturally nodded without hesitation.

"That's fine."

Lin Ling ordered a few things.

Like fried squid tendrils, fried crab sticks, tempura platter
Then ordered another noodle soup.

The shop here is obviously more formal.

There are more customers and a lot of employees. They are all young men and women in uniform, and they seem to be in good spirits.

While the little girl was serving them food, Lin Ling grabbed her and questioned her.

"Little sister, I see that there are quite a lot of vacant facades on this street. How could this be? Is the business not good?"

Lin Ling didn't give her time to think and asked directly.

The little girl froze for a moment, probably trying to organize her words.

"Looks like a few stores are empty."

"Those shops belong to one person. Uncle Lu's family has a prodigal son, and he lost a lot of money in the casino, so the creditor came to ask for money, and he wanted to get the money from the shop, driving the original shop owner out."

"Uncle Lu is so pitiful recently. He not only wants to wipe his son's ass, but also appease the shopkeepers and pay them money."

After the little girl finished speaking, she shook her head sadly.

Lin Ling wanted to laugh a little.

"What about the previous rent of their house?"

There are several facades, and this place is so lively.

Just the accumulated rent in the previous years, not counting the interest, is still a lot of money.

"That money. Uncle Lu originally planned to buy a house, but his son lost all of it. Now he is penniless and can't even keep his own house!"

It sounds pitiful.

But Lin Ling was not very sympathetic either.

This kind of thing is not the fault of that prodigal son alone, Uncle Lu himself has a problem.

The crooked neck tree does not grow crooked in a day.

"That's fine, thank you!"

Lin Ling thanked politely.

The little girl wanted to ask a few more questions, why did they care so much about the store, but seeing that Lin Ling didn't intend to continue, she could only swallow her words, turned around and left.

"You don't mean to?"

Chu Yi could vaguely get his daughter-in-law's thoughts.

His daughter-in-law is like a hoarder, she loves buying houses, facades and land.
If it wasn't for his lack of wealth, his wife would probably be able to buy the entire earth.

"That's not it!"

Lin Ling hesitated.

She never thought about staying in the port city, and the question just now was just out of curiosity.

"Let's look at other facades later."

"If those facades are taken over, they will definitely be rented out."

After Lin Ling finished speaking, she felt that she was right, so she couldn't help but nodded.

Chu Yi was thoughtful.

"I kind of want to buy it."

Chu Yi muttered softly.

"why?"

Lin Ling looked at him in surprise.

This was the first time this man had the opposite intention.

"Didn't you say house prices would go up?"

"Look, Hong Kong City is only that big. If housing prices rise, Hong Kong City will definitely rise even more."

Lin Ling nodded, "You're right!"

"I know this too, but we don't live in Hong Kong City permanently, and it will be difficult to manage in the future."

"It's such a thing, it would be great if someone could be sent over."

Chu Yi agreed with his wife's statement.

Nowadays, most people still have the plot of being unable to leave their homeland.

On the one hand, I can have more connections in my hometown, and it is easy to do things in a familiar place.

On the other hand, food culture and soil and water are also problems.

"Unless you don't have a family with you, it's difficult!"

Lin Ling shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Even the three uncles of her natal family, a group of cousins, were unwilling to leave home too far. They cared about their relatives at home and were also afraid of strange places.

"Then that's the only way to go?"

"Pity!"

For the first time, Chu Yi hated himself for not having enough money.

Otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to buy it directly without worrying about losing money in the future.

"There's no end to money!"

Lin Ling was more open than him.

How can it be possible for one person to earn all the money in the world.

Besides, what do you need so much money for?
The family has reached the level of well-off.

The rest are more about pursuing the spiritual level, realizing personal value and social value.

"you're right!"

Chu Yi was completely convinced.

Stop muttering about buying facades.

The two began to enjoy the food in the store.

The fried octopus is delicious, crunchy, with a bit of toughness of octopus, and the taste is very rich.

There is also a honey sauce chicken wing, the taste is absolutely amazing.

Sweet and full of rich aroma, the meat is tender and juicy.

Absolutely.

Lin Ling gave her thumbs up again and again.

After a little taste, Chu Yi ended up.

Food cannot be wasted.

The couple left the restaurant.

I agreed not to buy a facade, but I couldn't help but walk over.

"Let's take a look!"

"Learn about the situation."

This is how Lin Ling convinced Chu Yi and herself.

Buy it or not, read it first.

The first one is the one that is relatively close to the western food restaurant.

The area is quite large, maybe it used to be a dry clothing store, the walls are very clean, and the floor is still tiled.

Lin Ling looked at it with little interest.

There was nothing wrong with the facade, but it didn't suit her needs.

The couple then looked down.

Near the street, there is a small shop, which is also empty.

I didn't know what it was for, maybe a fried snack?
The environment of the store is worrisome, the walls are all blackened, and the floor is simply painted white, the environment looks very bad.

"This store is too careless!"

Chu Yi couldn't help complaining.

The shops opened by his daughter-in-law are all newly decorated.

The hygiene in this store is so poor, who would dare to eat it!
It's a good thing to drive away early!
Lin Ling pinched her nose, feeling like she could smell oily smoke even standing at the door.

"Daughter-in-law, shall we go?"

Chu Yi turned his head to look, just in time to see her with a patient expression, and hurriedly greeted her.

Lin Ling shook her head lightly.

"Go in and have a look, how big is this place?"

"what?"

Chu Yi was stunned.

The daughter-in-law won't be. Wouldn't it be because of the appearance of this house?
Such a dirty environment?

"Let you go!"

Impatient, Lin Ling pushed him.

I quickly turned around and went outside, took a breath of fresh air, and then I felt my whole body come alive.

The environment inside can't be said to be bad.

Except that the ground and walls were not cleaned up, there were no major flaws.

It's the smell of oily smoke that has accumulated over the years, and it smells very suffocating.

I don't know how the owner put up with it.

After a while, Chu Yi came out.

After all, I work in the construction industry, so I am very sensitive to things like area.

"Daughter-in-law, I checked, it's about sixteen square meters."

"It's a little small."

What can this sixteen flats do?

The facades bought by his daughter-in-law are all tens of square meters, or even two hundred square meters.

Chu Yi really couldn't figure it out.

Why is the daughter-in-law so concerned about this facade?

"That can!"

Lin Ling was a little surprised and blurted out.

Chu Yi glanced at her incredulously, "You, daughter-in-law, do you really want to rent this shop?"

With such a ruined facade, his wife didn't even want to go in, and now she actually said that she wanted to rent this facade?
Could it be that this façade can still trick people?

No, he went in, why didn't he play a Gu?
Look down on him?Think he has no money?

"Why, no?"

Lin Ling stared at him arrogantly.

Chu Yi was speechless.

Don't know what to say.

He didn't understand his wife's operations before, but later it showed that his wife's actions were correct.

But now. Chu Yi is really incomprehensible.

"Are you sure?"

Chu Yi confirmed for the last time.

Lin Ling nodded casually.

This size of area is just right for a milk tea shop!
There is a counter in front to take orders.

At the back are warehouses and workshops.

enough.

"But, the previous milk tea shop, didn't they have to set up tables?"

Chu Yi remembered that his wife had purchased a batch of tables, chairs and decorations in order to open a milk tea shop.

“This store is different!”

Lin Ling said mysteriously.

"Don't worry about it, go copy the phone first, and let's ask about the market later."

There are many notes on the wall of the front door.

There was a relatively new one for rent, and several old ones, neatly stacked and pasted on the wall, all with the same number, saying direct rent by the landlord.

According to Lin Ling's instructions, Chu Yi copied a relatively new one, as well as the phone numbers on those old stickers.

"Daughter-in-law, shall we go to see other facades?"

Chu Yi ran back excitedly.

It's better to look at the facade more, lest such a poor old man will fascinate his wife.

"alright."

Lin Ling hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Go across the street and start walking down.

After a while, we arrived at an empty front door.

The area is larger, about forty square meters.

Compared with the note on the wall, the phone number is the same.

Lin Linggang and Chu Yi looked at it for a while, and then a head popped up from the door next door and looked over.

"Are you looking at the facade?"

It's a young girl.

Seven or eight years old.

With two ball heads, red lips and white teeth, skin as tender as tofu, it looks so cute.

"Yup!"

Lin Ling replied.

"Then wait a minute, I'll call me, Old Dou!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she ran away without looking back, and then there was the sound of climbing stairs.

"Old Dou, someone wants to watch the door, get up quickly!"

"hurry up!"

After a while, the little girl pulled a tall man and appeared in front of them.

There was a bit of sleepiness on the man's face, and his dull expression formed a sharp contrast with his tall figure.

Lin Ling felt a little funny.

"Hello there!"

Chu Yi stepped forward to say hello.

"Um"

The man responded in a daze, but his soul was still floating.

"Which storefront do you want to rent?"

The little girl asked enthusiastically.

It's as if she's the one calling the shots.

"Well, how much is the monthly rent for the facade next door?"

Lin Ling thought for a while, but didn't directly say which storefront she wanted to rent.

Take the opportunity to understand the market first.

"Although the shop on the right has a large area, it doesn't have water and electricity, and it's surrounded by sellers. Food business is not allowed. Can it be done?"

"Well, tell me the price!"

Lin Ling was stunned for a moment.

Then he regained his composure.

Anyway, what she wants to rent is not a facade.

"Well, the price of this shop is 3000 yuan a month. If you can accept it, I can contact the owner for you."

"If it's a long-term lease, the price should be negotiable, but I can't control this."

The man looked indifferent, as if he was going through the process.

"Three thousand!"

Lin Ling knew that the rent might be more expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.

Chu Yi gasped even more on the spot.

I didn't expect the facade price of Hong Kong City to be so expensive.

This is not at the same price as Pengcheng, it has been several times higher.

"What? Can't afford the rent?"

The man looked at them with raised eyebrows, and then yawned again after speaking.

"Rent or not? If not, tell me earlier, so I can go back and catch up on sleep."

He has seen too much of this kind of person.

When white-collar workers earn some money, they imagine that they can rent a shop and open a shop to earn money and be their own boss.

I don’t even look to see if I’m that material.

After struggling for a few months, I paid for the decoration and purchase expenses, and after a few years, I emptied them all, and became a poor man with nothing.

"Wait!"

"I see there are still a few shops on this street, can you tell me the price of all of them?"

Lin Ling finally revealed her true intentions.

The man was a little surprised, he didn't expect the two of them to pay attention to this.

"Okay!"

"Ninny, my dad will test you!"

The man turned to look at the little girl.

The little girl showed a helpless expression.

Like reciting, I started to read it.

"The small one is [-] a month. Although the location is good, but the shop is so bad, it's not worth it."
