With Si Xuemei on board, everything will be easy.

Si Chen registered the information at the guard office and parked the car under the sycamore tree in the compound.

Open the trunk and take out the souvenirs that grandma brought for my aunt:

"Auntie, these pumpkins, potatoes, sweet potatoes, dates, apples, and walnuts are all brought by grandma for you."

"Ah? So many?" Si Xuemei locked her bicycle and walked over to take a look:

"Hey, why are there red and white radishes and Chinese cabbage?"

Auntie thought to herself, the food market is so cheap, is it worth your trip to bring it here?

Si Chen smiled and handed the things to the aunt, which were all light in weight, and said:

"Grandma said, there is a car coming to Longcheng anyway, and the trunk is full!"

"Ouch~" Si Xuemei smiled with her eyebrows arched, and even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were happy.

"You said your grandma, what's going on here, there are eggs?"

Yan Lixia was carrying a basket of eggs in one hand and fruits and nuts in the other:

"These are eggs laid by Aunt Hong's free-range chickens in the backyard. Grandma said they taste better!"

I was afraid that the eggs would be broken on the road, so I put a thick layer of wheat straw in the basket.

Si Xuemei smiled from ear to ear and happily brought her eldest nephew and nephew's wife upstairs.

The white walls of some years are old, and the green paint on the bottom section is peeling off.

The security door on the house door is also military green with a bit of rust.

It is only a six-story building, so there is no elevator.

Si Xuemei and his wife live on the second floor, with two bedrooms, one living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, and a cement floor.

Because there is no shared space, the 86-square-meter house looks more spacious than a three-bedroom apartment.

"Come in quickly!" Si Xuemei warmly welcomed the people in and was busy pouring water for them:

"Does Sichen drink tea? How about Jin Junmei? What about Lixia? Brown sugar water or drink?"

"Auntie, please stop being busy!"

The three aunts and nephews had a lively chat.

For lunch, we used local ingredients and ate local specialties brought by Si Chen——

Stir-fried potato slices, shredded pork with pepper, pickled vegetable platter, tomato and egg soup.

Si Xuemei was afraid that she wouldn't have enough food, so she wanted to take out the braised beef from the refrigerator and cut it up.

Si Chen forcefully dragged his aunt to the dining table and said:

"Auntie, that's enough. It's enough to eat. If you waste food, you will have to bear the soles of my grandma's shoes."

The three of them immediately had a meal, hahaha~

Si Xuemei's husband and daughter have been in the army all year round. Her son has just been admitted to Beicheng University and went to the campus there.

She is usually the only one at home, and she doesn’t even prepare too much when buying groceries.

If Si Chen didn't bring these things today, Si Xuemei had to take them out to a restaurant in order to rush to class in the afternoon.

After the meal, Si Xuemei washed some fruits for the two of them and ate them together.

Taking advantage of this gap, Si Chen got straight to the point and said:

"Auntie, I'm actually here for inspection."

"What are you investigating?" Si Xuemei took a bite of the apple and asked.

"I want to see if there is a suitable place in Longda. I will buy it and open a supermarket."

Si Xuemei chewed the apple for a moment.

After staring at Si Chen for three seconds, he suddenly became happy:

"Are you coming to Dragon City to develop?"

"Yeah, but it won't be until next year."

"Hey - why wait for next year? The sooner you come, the better!" Si Xuemei suddenly smiled from ear to ear and said:

"If you come, your grandma will definitely come with you!"

"Xiao Ping An and Xiao Yuan are still so young. Beginning of Summer is here and they have to study again."

"If you still want to do business, who will take care of the child? Not your grandma!"

"Oh, it's great to come to Dragon City. Come to Dragon City, hey hey hey!"

Si Chen:......-_-||

Auntie, are you serious?

I'm telling you about my business. Are you thinking about my grandma coming to Longcheng?

"Oh, you don't know!"

Si Xuemei started chatting, bab bab bab, accusing her old mother of being uncooperative:

"Every summer and winter vacation, I want to ask your grandma to come and live with me for a while, but she just refuses to come."

"Then what can I do? I can only run home!"

"The other sisters are all around, but I'm left alone in Dragon City. It's so far away."

"If I were by her side, I wouldn't ask her to come live in my house every day."

…

Si Chen and Yan Lixia stayed by the side with a smile on their faces and listened to the eldest aunt's horn for ten minutes.

Finally, while the aunt was chewing an apple, Si Chen quickly interrupted:

"Auntie, are you familiar with the director of the logistics support department of your school?"

The Logistics Support Department is responsible for the logistics work of Longcheng University, including investment promotion.

However, these days, the market economy has not yet been fully opened up, and the canteens in universities are still mainly state-owned.

Canteens selling non-staple food, scattered snack bars, barber shops, etc. are self-employed.

"Not familiar." Si Xuemei replied matter-of-factly, gnawing at the apple and shaking her head.

Si Chen's heart skipped a beat.

If you're not familiar with me, then I'm not familiar with you. Then the logistics director will pay a visit in person and bring a generous gift.

These days, is there anyone who can’t handle generous gifts?

Suddenly, Si Xuemei swallowed the apple in her mouth and said:

"I know the principal well. She is my old sister."

Si Chen almost spat out a mouthful of tea, "Auntie, I can't talk without you gasping for breath!"

"Si Chen, if you have decided to come to Longcheng to develop, my aunt will help you pay attention to the appearance."

Si Xuemei was not new to the world and said:

"Since you said you want to open a supermarket, it's not a small store. It has to be 300 square meters, right?"

Si Chen nodded repeatedly.

But listen, Si Xuemei analyzed again:

"The new campus is being expanded and will probably be completed in June next year."

"According to the current economic situation of Longcheng, it is inevitable to completely liberalize the market next year."

"At that time, investment promotion for the new campus will also start. If you come again, I will give you a push..."

Si Chen would naturally understand the rest if Si Xuemei didn't say anything.

"Sure! Whatever Auntie said, that's what it is!" Si Chen sighed in his heart again:

In my previous life, I started too late and missed many opportunities.

In his last life, he came to Longcheng alone, selling cigarettes, wine, and snacks near the train station, and gradually made a fortune.

Then, take down the facade and start to grow bigger step by step.

Whether it was Longcheng University or Beicheng University, Sichen did not have the capital to support his entry at that time.

Nowadays, it is completely different!

…

In the afternoon, Si Chen took Yan Lixia to the Chinese Department to find Zhao Yi.

I thought it would be difficult to find someone, but after asking around, everyone actually knew who Zhao Yi was.
