Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

On the way back, Lu Zhaocai confirmed with Lu Yuan several times that the money came from Lu Yuan's legitimate business dealings before he was finally relieved.

"Son, I'll give you ten yuan of this money later, but you mustn't tell anyone else."

"That depends on how much Ms. Wang Xiuying is willing to give."

Lu Yuan naturally sided with his father, just because his father sponsored him without hesitation.

As long as that idiot doesn't let it slip, he definitely won't tell anyone.

After returning home, Wang Xiuying, unusually, bought a piece of pork belly and started stewing it early in the morning, planning to make braised pork.

As soon as he entered the house, Lu Yuan smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. His taste buds began to salivate, and his eyes lit up with anticipation for the braised pork.

You have to understand that in those days, meat wasn't something you could just buy anywhere. When relatives came over, you'd make a braised egg dish with two eggs, and that was considered a treat for them.

Only during holidays or Lu Yuan's birthday could he see some meat.

There was no other way; the Lu family had also gone through a tough time, and even though they had some spare money, they lived a rather frugal life.

Before Lu Yuan could even speak, Lu Zhaocai, who was following behind, had already pulled out a thousand yuan from his pocket and happily went to show off to his wife.

"Honey, our little rascal finally got his act together today. He knows to show some respect to his father, so I've given it all to you."

"What about the rest?"

Wang Xiuying raised an eyebrow and asked in return with a forced smile.

Years of marriage made Lu Zhaocai immediately realize something was wrong, and he turned to give Lu Yuan a look.

Lu Yuan shrugged helplessly. He had already told Lao Lu to keep it safe himself.

Didn't I tell him that Ms. Wang Xiuying had also been busy at the store all day?

No, it seems like they didn't actually say that.

Lu Yuan scratched his face awkwardly, then subconsciously lowered his brows, looking down at his nose and inward.

Anyway, it's none of my business.

"Let me explain, it's all because it's a long way..."

Before Lu Zhaocai could finish speaking, he saw his son leave with two more bags in his hands.

Before he could even remind him, Lu Yuan's voice drifted over from afar.

"I'm going to see my uncle."

"That brat!"

"Lu Zhaocai, you've really grown up!"

……

Lu Yuan's uncle lives on the Bund.

It was a specially allocated house. The road to this compound was far, so he often came here when he was a child and naturally knew the way very well. Speaking of which, he was the king of the kids in this small area back then.

As soon as he entered the alley, Lu Yuan saw several children. He took out some colorful candies from his pocket and gave them to the children.

At first, the children were hesitant to accept the candy, but after seeing the colorful wrappers, they couldn't resist and took the candy while saying thank you to their older brother.

A middle-aged woman who was washing clothes turned her head and saw this scene, and greeted her with a smile.

"Xiao Yuan, you're here again?"

"Aunt Pan, has my uncle come back yet?"

Lu Yuan greeted her with a smile.

Aunt Pan lived in the same alley as Lu Yuan's uncle. Her husband's identity was not simple; he was the director of the Commerce Department and had taken good care of Lu Yuan in the past.

"Your uncle just got back."

"Perfect timing, Aunt Pan. Here, take this paper. It's different from what you buy elsewhere. Give it a try."

Lu Yuan casually picked up a roll of paper and placed it at Aunt Pan's door. Without waiting for Aunt Pan to accept it or not, he strode towards his uncle's house.

Aunt Pan watched Lu Yuan's retreating figure as he ran away, shook her head helplessly, and turned to take the paper back.

"Hey, why is this paper white?"

She hadn't noticed, but when she opened the wardrobe and touched it, a smile appeared on her face.

"This paper feels so smooth, I wonder where he got it from."

"Uncle, I'm coming in!"

Lu Yuan called out from in front of the courtyard gate, and without waiting for anyone to respond, he carried his things inside.

My uncle's house doesn't look big, but it's very cozy.

There was a brown imported leather sofa in the living room, and a 24-inch color TV was covered with a cloth. His aunt, Shen Fengyun, was washing vegetables. When she saw him, she smiled and said...

"Xiao Yuan, what brings you here? And what did you bring?"

"Auntie, these are all good things I brought. They'll be perfect for Xiaojun to try when he comes."

Lu Yuan saw his aunt and quickly said with a smile.

"Please sit down first. Your uncle will be here soon. I'll go make some dishes."

Shen Fengyun said with a smile on her face.

A short while later, Uncle Wang Peng came out of the study. He was stunned when he saw the several large bags on the table and looked at him with some surprise.

"Qingfeng tissues? Shampoo? Kid, are you planning to stay here?"

"I'm here to thank you, Uncle. If it weren't for the industrial voucher you gave me before, things definitely wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Lu Yuan quickly offered an explanation.

Wang Peng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He knew that Lu Yuan had delivered some of these things before, and he knew that they were not cheap, so he quickly returned them.

"Why haven't I seen you being so polite before? These things must have cost you a lot of money. Other shops haven't even made much money yet, and you've already spent it all here. What will you do when your mother comes to punish me?"

"I'll tell you the truth, Uncle."

Lu Yuan didn't need to play any tricks on his own family, so he calmly explained his original thoughts to them in detail.

"I was just thinking that you could bring some back for your colleagues to try, which would help promote my shop and get them to support my business."

"You little brat..."

When Wang Peng heard his nephew's undisguised little gesture, he almost kicked him.

He accepted these things, but he raised an eyebrow and didn't take them seriously.

"Leave this to me, but I can't do it for free. I heard your dad bought a few bottles of grain liquor before?"

I'll bring it to you later.

"Then it's settled!"

……

On the other side, at Old Li's house.

The beautiful woman returned with a box of soap and smiled when she saw Old Li.

"A friend gave me a box of soap today. It smells really nice. I think it's sold at the Friendship Store on Xijing Road?"

"Isn't this Section Chief Lu's nephew's shop?"

Old Li, who was watching the news, paused for a moment, then subconsciously picked it up and smelled it.

"This doesn't look like a domestic product."

"You're right, I heard this store was really busy today, it almost blocked the intersection."

The beautiful woman had a smile on her face.

"I want to go check it out tomorrow. I've never seen such a popular shop on Xijing Road before."

"Oh, right."

Old Li slapped his forehead and quickly looked at his wife.

"Your newspaper isn't looking for trending news these days. I think Section Chief Lu's nephew's shop is pretty good, and the stuff they have is all new. I think it's worth reporting on."

"this……"

The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment.

Old Li said from the side, "Opportunity waits for no one. If we don't go in a couple of days, it will be too late."

"I'll go over there tomorrow and see if I can write a report about it."
