If it was someone else, Lin Qingyin would have pushed it, but looking at Zhang Simiao with an expectant look on her face, Lin Qingyin doesn’t feel like refusing.
After all, making friends was also one of the seven emotions and six desires. She also wants to try what it feels like to have a good friend.
“Tomorrow morning, I have to go to Xindongfang Internation School to learn English, and I have to move things to school in the afternoon. You can come tonight at 8:30 in the evening.” Lin Qingyin took out her mobile phone and added Zhang Simiao’s WeChat account, and sent the home address to her.
Ding Hong immediately showed admiration when Lin Qingyin mentioned that she will go to Xindongfang to learn English: “I heard Simiao said that your last English test was the only full mark in the class. I can see that you really love to learn English that’s why you got such good results.”
Lin Qingyin: “Hehe…”
I don’t want to talk about it!

Lin Qingyin rode her bicycle to go back home and stopped when she passed by their family’s small supermarket. She took out her favorite ice cream from the freezer and told her parents that there will be visitors at home in the evening while eating.
“My classmate and her parents are coming!”
Mother Lin was so happy when she heard about it. Since Lin Qingyin was a child, she had buried herself in studying. She only has a few friends who came to play with her. It was the first time she brought a classmate at home now that she grew up.
“Then we have to get ready!” Mother Lin called Lin Xu to pack some of the best fruits and then gave Lin Qingyin a large shopping bag: “Go inside and have a look. You can put whatever snacks you like, but wait for me to check it out first.”
Lin Qingyin doesn’t know anything about business. She only knows that she needs to pay for what she eats and nothing else: “Isn’t this just a matter of the left-hand handing over things to the right hand?”
“It’s mainly for the convenience of checking inventory. You just have to eat, you don’t need to do anything else.”
Lin Xu smiled while packing fruits: “Before you come here from school to get snacks, your mother asked me for money. She wiped out all the private money I saved. It’s a piece of cake for your mother to pay for your snacks, you can take more.”
Lin Qingyin doesn’t quite understand the fun of saving private money, but she was very happy to hear that she can get more snacks. She found out that people in this world pursuit different kinds of tastes. Not only there were all delicious foods, but also these so-called junk foods.
Lin Qingyin felt so happy while looking at the shelves full of snacks. It was really the right decision to let her parents open a small supermarket!

Since guests were coming in the evening, Mother Lin closed the supermarket an hour earlier than usual, washed all the fruits, and put them on the plate. She was not worried about it to turned into waste. Because no matter how many they were, Lin Qingyin can eat them all.
After preparing everything, the Zhang Family of three arrived downstairs.
The building number of this kind of old community was not clear. Zhang Qiao drove the car downstairs according to the location but was not sure whether it was this building, so he asked the old man and old lady who was digesting outside: “Is this building No.3?”
“It’s Building 3.” A group of old ladies couldn’t help but stare at what they were carrying. “Who are you looking for?”
Zhang Qiao understood this kind of elderly people like gossip very well, and said with a smile “It’s Lin Qingyin.”
The old lady who lives downstairs pointed her finger at Lin Qingyin’s home upstairs: “It’s on the third floor, that one with the lights on.”
Zhang Qiao thanked the lady and opened his car trunk. The family of three took out all the gifts brought by them. Some of it was so full that they almost couldn’t carry it.
Seeing the three people carrying things upstairs, several old ladies gathered together: “Have you seen that? All the things they are carrying are good! I saw that there are bags with jade jewelry, which looks costs a lot of money.”
“The Lin family is keeping silent while making money. They opened up a small supermarket shop near their home, and now people who come to visit them seems to get generous and generous.”
“Did they win the lottery?”
“That can’t be. If I win the lottery, I will buy a house and moved out as soon as possible. Who wants to live here? It’s very cold during winter and very hot during summer. I think I live enough of this place.”
Along with the conversation of the old ladies, their topic had shifted about how uncomfortable it to live in the old community. As for the family of three who just went up, they have long forgotten about it.
The Zhang Family went upstairs while carrying things in their hands. As soon as they arrived on the third floor, they heard Mother Lin opened the door. Ding Hong immediately asked politely: “Hello, is this Lin Qingyin Family’s house?”
