Siheyuan.
Mark and Wang Xiaomi came carrying a lot of things in large and small bags.
"Mom, we're back!" Mark shouted as soon as he entered the gate.
"Xiaomi is here! Come on, please come in. Oh, you have bought so many things. Why spend this money?" Ling Mingyu said happily. She was very happy that Wang Xiaomi could come, and she was very satisfied with Wang Xiaomi.
"That's right, Auntie." Wang Xiaomi said obediently.
"Sister Xiaomi, you are here, have you bought me some cosmetics?" Ma Li hurriedly came up to greet me. She has a good relationship with Wang Xiaomi privately and often goes to Wang Xiaomi's beauty salon for beauty treatments. This time, when Wang Xiaomi came, he also asked her what gift she wanted in advance. She was not polite and asked for expensive cosmetics.
"I bought it, shall I take you to try the cosmetics?" Wang Xiaomi said with a smile.
"Okay, grandma, look, there are your cosmetics here, you can try them too." Ma Li said with a smile.
"Okay. Lily, pour Xiaomi a glass of lemonade first." Ling Mingyu said with a smile.
...
"Why did you buy a gold bracelet? I also have one here for you. It was left by Mark's grandmother." Ling Mingyu said with a smile.
"Oh, mine is a gold necklace, and so is Manao's." Ma Li shouted.
"I have one too? Bring it to me quickly!" Manao said happily.
They chatted happily together, leaving Mark aside and ignoring it.
Of course, Mark was not idle either, he was reading medical books. Reading has become a habit and a kind of enjoyment.
He comforted himself like this, and thought to himself, "It's just fun. If I could directly spend money to improve my skills, I wouldn't read books and study. Learning is always painful, so don't deceive yourself."
...
"Auntie, can I help with the cooking?" Wang Xiaomi said obediently in the kitchen.
"That won't work! It's your first time here, so I can't let you do anything. Go and chat with Mark and the others." Ling Mingyu said with a smile.
"Sister Xiaomi, come here quickly. I bought you some dried fruits. Please try to see if they are delicious." Ma Li pulled Wang Xiaomi out of the kitchen.
...
The meal is ready quickly.
"Xiaomi, try to see if it suits your taste. I wonder how it tastes salty?" Ling Mingyu greeted warmly.
"Mom, Xiaomi's appetite is about the same as mine, so there must be no problem." Mark said casually.
"Yes, Auntie, Teacher Ma and I have the same taste." Wang Xiaomi said with a smile. She and Mark often exchanged saliva and knew what it tasted like.
"That's good, come on, does this fish taste good?" Ling Mingyu said with a smile.
"Grandma, I want to eat fish too!" Manao said hurriedly.
"Okay, let me help you find faults." Ling Mingyu smiled.
...
"Xiaomi, so you are also a child of a single-parent family." Ling Mingyu still asked about the situation of Wang Xiaomi's family.
"Yes, Teacher Ma and I are quite similar." Wang Xiaomi said with a smile.
"Xiaomi, it has not been easy for your mother after so many years. I can understand her difficulties. If I have the opportunity to meet your mother, we will definitely be able to chat." Ling Mingyu said.
"Okay, Auntie, let's see when you are free. My mother's time is easy to come by." Wang Xiaomi said with a smile.
"I'm retired too, so it's okay, and my time is no problem." Ling Mingyu said with a smile.
"Sister Xiaomi, has your beauty salon opened many branches? I can often see Xiaomi Beauty Salon on the street." Ma Li asked.
"Fifteen stores have been opened." Wang Xiaomi smiled.
"There are already fifteen beauty salons? That's amazing, Sister Xiaomi. Are all these fifteen beauty salons under your control?" Ma Li asked.
"Yes, they are all under my control. Sister Zhou, the owner of our beauty salon, is not in the country at all times. She always sends me money and asks me to be responsible for finding shops to open." Wang Xiaomi said with a smile.
"Sister Xiaomi, you have opened so many shops by yourself. You are so awesome! Even better than my mother. She used to open a beauty salon, but it has been closed now." Ma Li said whatever came to her mind. Didn't care at all.
"I'm not alone. I have several sisters helping me." Wang Xiaomi smiled.
"Xiaomi, can you make money by opening so many beauty salons?" Ling Mingyu asked curiously. She also knew that Tianye's beauty salon had been open for a while and had been losing money, so it had no choice but to close its doors.
"It's okay, Auntie. If this beauty salon wants to make a profit, it must first find the right positioning and not blindly open a store. The location of the store, the size of the store, the possible consumer groups nearby, stable customers, and the development in the next few years. Wait, there are a lot of things to consider. When I first opened the store, I went to many beauty salons to work part-time and consulted on various issues..." Wang Xiaomi said about her store opening experience. She did put in a lot of hard work.
"So that's it. There are so many things to pay attention to. You really can't open a store just because you're crazy." Ling Mingyu nodded. She felt that Tian Ye was just messy when he opened a beauty salon, which was far worse than Wang Xiaomi.
Wang Xiaomi is not old, so he does this very well, better than Tian Tian. She should be able to take good care of Mark, Ma Li and Manao.
"Mom, in fact, no matter what kind of store you open, you must go through careful and careful preliminary investigation. If you know more about the situation, you will be less likely to lose money." Mark interjected.
"That's the truth, but everyone is afraid of hard work. They just do it as soon as their minds are hot. Few of them have the patience to do careful research." Ling Mingyu nodded.
"If you want to make money but don't want to work hard, then go to sleep. You can have everything in your dreams, including mountains of gold and silver, mountains of rice and flour..." Mark said casually.
"That's nonsense!" Ling Mingyu rolled her eyes at Mark.
...
"Auntie, we're leaving, you don't have to send us off anymore." Wang Xiaomi smiled.
"Xiaomi, please come here more often." Ling Mingyu insisted and sent her outside the alley.
"Mom, I'm going to deliver some millet, you go back first." Mark said with a smile.
"Sister Xiaomi, I will go to your beauty salon to find you tomorrow!" Ma Li shouted.
"Okay, Ma Li, I'll have someone give you a full-body spa treatment." Wang Xiaomi said with a smile.
"Sister Xiaomi, let me bring my grandma over for a full-body spa treatment." Ma Li said happily.
"Okay." Wang Xiaomi smiled.
"I want to go too!" Manao shouted.
"Then let's all go." Mark smiled.
...
in the car.
"Second uncle, did I say something wrong today?" Wang Xiaomi uncharacteristically did not move, which made Mark a little disappointed.
"No, you performed very well today." Mark smiled. He stretched out his hand and started to clean up Wang Xiaomi.
"Really, second uncle, you said our mother doesn't object to us being together, right?" Wang Xiaomi asked. She hugged Mark's hand to prevent it from moving.
"I definitely don't object. My mother wants me to be with you." Mark smiled.
"That's good! Second uncle, Ma Li and Ma Nao also like me, right?" Wang Xiaomi asked.
"They all like you. Xiaomi, you are very good and outstanding. Everyone likes you." Mark smiled.
"Second uncle, you are very good and outstanding! Second uncle, I can't live without you anymore." Wang Xiaomi held Mark's hand and said affectionately.
"I can't live without you either!" Mark smiled. He was a little worried, not knowing when the krypton metal panel would allow him to travel through time. Five years at most? But what if the wedding is held in advance? Was it earlier?
"Am I just going to drop everything and leave?"
"This world is of flesh and blood, not fake."
"How ruthless do I have to be to let this go?"
"I don't know if I can use krypton gold to stay in this world and grow old together with Wang Xiaomi." Mark felt that there should be a charging option for krypton metal panels to allow him to spend money to stay at this time.
