Yeah, as long as he’s not like his parents!

The next day, Han Yi opened an account in Mei Chunhua’s name and deposited the money, then wrote a letter to Mr. Li Liang.

He sent the passbook and the letter by express mail and told them to withdraw the money as soon as they received it and open a new account.

Han Yi is not afraid they’ll spend it recklessly; his words are full of warnings, knowing their workplace, home address, so their every move is within his surveillance. Every sentence warns them not to misuse the money, as it’s left by Hua Hua’s mom for her son.

After Lu Guoqi gave the money to Han Yi, he took advantage of his day off to find a few people and knocked through the two rooms of their west wing, repainting and laying new tiles. He also enlarged the doors and tidied up the three rooms and kitchen they live in.

After all, their courtyard will have people coming and going in the future, and they should leave a good impression; the exterior shouldn’t look too shabby and dilapidated. Plus, Huang Jiao painted the walls of the courtyard with eighty centimeters of lime, drew some dance figures on it, wrote some messages related to dance, replanned the ground, and planted flowers and a fruit tree. It creates a refreshing feeling, so parents won’t feel like it’s a small-time operation as soon as they enter. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

These cost them one or two hundred yuan, which was Lu Guoqi’s initial reason for borrowing so much money directly from Han Yi.

During the construction period, Lu Guoqi and Han Yi greeted each other, then he took his wife over.

It’s rare for Han Yi’s battle buddies to visit home; Liang Hongmei and Shen Qing went to the market early to prepare more dishes to entertain guests.

Han Yi didn’t go to the troops today; Lin Wan is in confinement but still wants to see guests, so she can’t dress too casually. She changed into a comfortable home outfit, with a towel wrapped around her head.

This hair can’t be combed, so it’s just makeshift.

It was Huang Jiao’s first time meeting Han Yi and Lin Wan, so she felt a bit reserved upon arrival but relaxed a lot after seeing the baby in Lin Wan’s arms.

She kept staring at the little one, really wanted to hold it, but was afraid she’d hold it wrong since she had no experience. "So cute, Guo Qi and I have been thinking of having one too, but considering he’s always moving around, he won’t be able to take care of me. So we’re thinking of waiting until he’s settled before having one."

"Waiting a bit is good too; it’s a great time to cultivate your relationship. Now that Brother Lu is transferred to Capital City, it won’t be easy to be reassigned, right?"

"Yeah, he’ll definitely mingle in the Capital City circles, but my job is hard to arrange, hence we’re considering buying a house here and opening a dance class."

"My daughter is starting first grade today. Families now have better living conditions and are willing to spend on their children. In our factory, last year’s sales showed children’s clothing selling better than adult’s clothing."

"Yes, it was when I met a classmate some time ago that I got this idea to do it. Honestly, I’m a bit anxious about it all. I used to be a teacher and never knew how to recruit students for myself." Huang Jiao says honestly. As a teacher, she always felt superior, especially in front of parents and students. Now facing parents over tuition fees made her uneasy.

"There’s nothing shameful about opening our own dance class. You have a teaching qualification, that’s your advantage. If you have any awards, you can post them in your dance class, giving you confidence when introducing yourself to parents. Actually, there’s no need to discuss prices with them. You can design a flyer, get it printed, and clearly list the courses and activity prices. The initial price can be attractive, and maybe offer some small gifts for signup. But I don’t understand your industry situation; it’s just that some new stores have opened this past year, and they do publicity this way."

"Sister-in-law Lin, listening to you gives me more confidence. Guo Qi is completely right; you’re an amazing woman. My Guo Qi often tells me about your past stories. That’s partly why I gave up my formal job and ventured out on my own, influenced by you."

"Me?" Lin Wan didn’t expect Lu Guoqi to tell his wife about when she first started messing with clothes. Couldn’t help but find it amusing

"I’m not as awesome as Brother Lu says. When I started, many family and friends helped me a lot. The little success I have now is inseparable from their support."

"Sister-in-law Lin, please don’t be modest with me. We live not far from S City, and after marrying Guo Qi, I often visit S City to see him, passing by your factory each time. From afar, it’s apparent your factory is doing well. Oh, I’m just doing small-scale things. Once the dance class opens, I’ll probably stick with this little class for life."

"Why can’t the dance class grow bigger? Look, now many private schools are gradually entering our view. In the future, if it’s done well, we can open one elsewhere without teaching ourselves. We can hire teachers to teach. Moreover, besides dance, we can add painting, calligraphy, various programs taught by hired experts." Lin Wan smiled at Huang Jiao. These are common business models in later generations, and if done well, brands can be established and franchised. Lin Wan didn’t mention this to Huang Jiao, fearing she’d get confused by the big talk.
