The first floor of the mall sells small commodities such as candies, the second floor sells clothes, shoes and hats, and the third floor sells large items such as furniture. Lu Yiming and the others came here to buy clothes for Lu Shishi, so they went straight there.

On the second floor. Opposite them, Lu Wenwen's family of three were already carrying large and small bags of New Year's goods.

Their family is not considered wealthy in the village, and Lu Wenwen, a demon king from time to time, gets into trouble from time to time, so their life has always been relatively tight. They only buy some melon seeds and peanut candies for the New Year as a token.

But this year they got a huge sum of money. Although they had spent 12,000 yuan in just one day, they still had 138,000 yuan in hand, which was still a huge sum of money. On the way here,

Lu Jinbao then announced that he would deposit 130,000 yuan in the bank, and the remaining 8,000 yuan would be spent on this year's New Year expenses.

So, the family went to the mall to go shopping.

Now, when Lu Wenwen saw Lu Yiming, it was like seeing a small treasury. He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he shouted loudly: "Sister, brother-in-law, you are also coming to the mall."

Lu Shishi scolded: "Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense."

Lu Yiming also said with a serious face: "Lu Wenwen, let me warn you, sister You is working for me now. I paid the wages and signed an agreement with your parents. It is written in black and white. If you talk nonsense, I will sue the court.

You, you will have to go to jail when the time comes, you know?"

When Lu Wenwen heard the word "jail", he couldn't help but shrink his neck. However, he was not afraid, and he even felt disapproving in his heart. He felt that Lu Yiming must have fallen in love with Lu Shishi, just like the ancient landlords and rich men who took over women of the people and found a high-sounding reason.

That's all.

"I know, I know, I just don't say anything outside."

Of course Lu Yiming knew what Lu Wenwen meant by his sly look, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, you, a teenage bastard, care about these things, which is the same as being bitten by a dog while walking and hesitating whether to bite him back.

.

Lu Yiming was too lazy to talk nonsense to Lu Wenwen. Seeing that Lu Shishi's face didn't look very good, he said to Lu Shishi, "Let's go up."

When Lu Jinbao and Dou Yufeng saw Lu Yiming defending Lu Shishi so much, they were naturally happy to see it happen. They wished that Lu Yiming would be fascinated by Lu Shishi. Then the richest man would be their son-in-law, so what else could they get?

Afraid that Lu Yiming would be angry, Lu Jinbao also scolded Lu Wenwen for the first time: "Stop saying a few words."

Ning Xuehua took Lu Shishi's hand and went up to the second floor, saying, "Let's go. Shishi, you have such a good figure, I think you look good in a skirt. Come on, I'll buy you a skirt."

On the second floor of the shopping mall, most of them are women's clothing stores, and various women's clothing stores are lined up in rows.

The so-called fashion is a cycle. The turn of the century is not necessarily more tacky than twenty years later. On the contrary, many unique clothes make Lu Yiming feel bright.

After a while, Ning Xuehua saw a plain long dress inspired by blue and white porcelain, with a blue and white pattern, a decent cut, and an online design.

"Shishi, come here and take a look at this one. I think it looks very good. Please try it quickly."

Lu Shishi took a look at the clothing tag and found that such a piece of clothing cost more than 300 yuan. She immediately shrank her neck in fright, and then said, "Ah, why don't you try it on? It's so expensive."

"Let's give it a try."

Ning Xuehua couldn't help but said to the boss: "Bring me the size she wears."

When Lu Shishi thought about the price of this skirt, the expression on her face became distorted: "Auntie, no need, I don't like wearing skirts..."

When she was a child, Lu Shishi wore clothes that relatives gave her when her children grew up. When she grew up, she wore clothes that her mother had worn. Except for the two sets of school uniforms issued by elementary school and junior high school, she had no other clothes.

Clothes that belong to her.

Therefore, these sets of clothes were almost faded after washing, but she still wore them. Because no matter what, this school uniform was tailor-made for her.

Seeing Lu Shishi's expression, Ning Xuehua laughed loudly: "What girl doesn't like to wear skirts? Don't forget, auntie is a person who has been here before. Doesn't she know your little thoughts? Didn't I say it yesterday?

?When you cry, the past is over. You have to look forward. Don’t always

You are thinking about money, and money is the least worth worrying about. While you are young, you should do whatever you like. When you invest 100% in the things you like, the money it will bring you will

It’s beyond your imagination. So don’t worry about money and chase your dreams.”

Lu Yiming teased: "Mom, why do you always talk in the same way now?"

Ning Xuehua smiled and said: "I saw this in a book written by an expert a few days ago."

Lu Yiming said: "Read less of that kind of book, it's not good for your brain."

The shop owner brought over brand new clothes, and Ning Xuehua happily said to Lu Shishi, "Hurry up and put them on and let me see."

At Ning Xuehua's insistence, Lu Shishi had no choice but to take over the clothes. The store owner pulled up a piece of cloth in the corner of the store to form a hidden triangle and asked Lu Shishi to change clothes.

After a while, Lu Shishi changed her clothes and came out. Lu Yiming looked at it and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Shishi, you look so good in this outfit. Mom, you are really good at choosing!"

Ning Xuehua suddenly felt very proud and said, "Well, Shishi has a good temperament and good clothes. What do you call this? This is called a good horse with a good saddle."

Lu Yiming said: "You are so smooth-talking, Mom, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Ning Xuehua slapped Lu Yiming on the back and said: "Fuck you, you are talking nonsense, pay the money quickly."

Lu Shishi was going to change clothes, but Ning Xuehua said: "Don't change, just wear this. When you go out, you can throw these clothes into the trash can."

Later, Ning Xuehua helped Lu Shishi buy some clothes, some pairs of shoes, and two beautiful shoulder bags.

When she got home and looked at the dozen packaging bags placed on the stool, Lu Shishi blushed and said, "Auntie, you bought so many things for me, it's really a waste of money."

Ning Xuehua smiled and said: "As I said, I treat you as my daughter. Of course my daughter must dress beautifully when she goes out. It doesn't cost anything. If you talk about this again in the future, I will be angry."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Shishi, I told you not to be so arrogant, just treat it like your own family. Just tell my mother what you need. You can just study in peace."

Lu Ding came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "You're back? Oh, Shishi looks so beautiful in what she wears. Wife, buy more clothes for Shishi in the future and satisfy your desire to dress up your daughter."

Ning Xuehua smiled and said: "That's necessary. Don't worry about your wallet when the time comes."

Lu Yiming said: "Swipe my card."

At this moment, Li Yiwen's voice came from outside the door: "Auntie, uncle, cousin, I'm here."

Lu Yiming ran to the door and saw that Li Yiwen came in with several gift bags, so he joked: "It's not the New Year yet, and you're here to pay New Year's greetings?"

Li Yiwen said: "Walking New Year's greetings is another matter. Today I just came here to play."

Lujia Village is not far from Lijia Village and Ningjia Village where Ning Xuehua is located. They belong to the same township. Li Yiwen has also come back to celebrate the New Year, and today he specially came to Lu Yiming to play with him.

Following Li Yiwen was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.

Lu Yiming asked: "Who is this?"

Li Yiwen quickly introduced: "This is Li Jiahuang, an overseas Chinese. He came back to celebrate the New Year this year. He is considered an uncle of mine."

Lu Yiming shook hands with him and said, "Hello, come on, come in for tea. Mom, we have a guest."

Lu Shishi quickly took the gift bag on the stool to the room, and ran out to serve tea and water.

Li Yiwen looked at Lu Shishi, his eyes full of doubts: "Who is this?"

Lu Yiming said: "She is my distant cousin. It's a long story. I'll tell you when I have time later."

Li Yiwen withdrew his gaze and said, "That's it. After my uncle returned to China, he heard about your deeds and found out about this relationship, so he found me and said he wanted to come and visit you, so I brought them here.

"

Li Jiahuang said apologetically: "Have you bothered Mr. Lu by visiting so hastily?"

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "The visitor is a guest, so why bother?"

Li Jiahuang said: "That's right, we are also planning to make some investments in our hometown. I am doing aquaculture business in an island country, and I plan to open an aquaculture company in my hometown to raise eels. We heard that you have deep attainments in business, so

I want to discuss it with you."

"Raising eels?" Lu Yiming was a little curious and asked, "Is there any way to do this?"

Li Jiahuang said: "In island countries, eel production cannot keep up with sales, and demand exceeds supply. I think it would be a good business to breed eels in China and sell them directly to island countries."

Lu Yiming asked in surprise: "Is eel so popular in island countries?"

Li Jiahuang said excitedly: "You don't know something about this. People in the island country like to eat eels so much. They have had the custom of eating eels in autumn since the Edo period. They think this stuff can nourish the kidneys, and they even think that they don't eat eels.

It’s a big regret in life.”

Li Yiwen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Eels can also nourish the kidneys?"

Lu Yiming teased: "Why, do you have such needs?"

Li Yiwen quickly denied it: "How is that possible? I'm just curious."

Li Jiahuang said with a smile: "I don't know whether it can replenish the kidney or not, but in autumn and winter, in order to resist the cold weather before migrating, the eel's body begins to accumulate a lot of fat, so the oil is rich and the taste is richer and more mellow. It tastes delicious.

, and it can supplement nutrition and energy, making people stronger.”

Lu Yiming suddenly realized: "No wonder the islanders think eels nourish the kidneys."

Li Yiwen didn't understand and asked, "Does this matter?"

Lu Yiming explained: "In ancient times, the food output of the island country was very low, and meat was even more difficult to obtain. However, large-scale fishing was not allowed due to religious issues, so that even some distinguished hereditary daimyo only had one fish for their daily meals.

, the caloric intake is seriously insufficient, and if you can get hard, you will have trouble. Therefore, for the island people at that time, eating eel can really 'tonify the kidneys', so it became a custom and has been passed down to this day."

Only then did Li Yiwen understand, and then complained: "Isn't it because they were malnourished before? Now some of them eat it, but they think normal things are supplements. This food culture is too lacking."

Li Jiahuang said: "When I come back this time, firstly, I want to return to my hometown in honor and glory. After all, I have been wandering for many years and I have to return to my roots. Secondly, I want to do something for my hometown, start up the eel breeding industry, and lead the villagers."

Let’s make a fortune together.”

Regarding Li Jiahuang's statement, Lu Yiming agreed, saying: "If we really want to develop the eel breeding industry, exporting alone will be a large amount of income every year. In addition, we can also open Japanese food stores in the country. There are already some
