I Have A Store C102
by MarineTL — Chapter 102: Enclosing the Mountain “Brother Zhao, you guys go ahead and talk. If you're in a hurry to get back, don't wait for me. I’ll return the bike to the subdistrict office myself,” said Luo Dapeng. He hadn’t come to Zhoujiazhuang just to guide the way this time. He hadn’t forgotten his promise to those “little bros” last time—to bring them something tasty. Zhao Zhenguo nodded. “Alright!” As long as they saw Zhou Yimin and brought him back, it didn’t matter what Zhou did…

I Have A Store C101
by MarineTL — Chapter 101 – Zhou Yimin’s Plan Zhou Yimin had his own plan—he wanted to turn Zhoujiazhuang into a place where food and clothing were never a worry, establishing it as his base of operations for the turbulent decade to come. He couldn’t rely on the riverbed alone. In another two or three years, once the severe drought passed, the river would flow again, and Zhoujiazhuang would lose that land. So, the barren hills had to be put to use. No matter the time or place, starch was essential. Whether…

I Have A Store C100
by MarineTL — Chapter 100: Reactions from All Sides "Such a big deal—why are you only reporting it to me now?" As expected, Section Chief Zheng got chewed out too.

Hurry and bring him back." Then, Director Ding quickly went to report the situation to Factory Director Hu. When Factory Director Hu heard the news, his…

Zhou Yimin handed a few eggs to Second Aunt , smiling. "Second Aunt , keep these eggs for yourselves. I need to talk to Uncle about something." Second Aunt was…

I Have A Store C09
by MarineTL — Chapter 9: In Trouble? Find Eldest Uncle On the way back to the courtyard, Zhou Yimin loaded the ox cart with sack after sack of sweet potatoes, totaling 2,000 pounds. Even the old ox pulling the cart was starting to get temperamental. At home, Zhou Daguai and the others looked enviously at the supplies in the cupboard—rice, flour, eggs, beef jerky... Yet, not a single one of them reached out to take anything, despite their hunger. When Zhou Yimin returned and saw them all sitting obediently at the…

I Have A Store C08
by MarineTL — Chapter 8: Section Chief Wang's Surprise "Hmm? Is this jerky?" Very soon, Wang Weimin discovered that the bottom of the procurement basket contained dried meat. Zhou Yimin smiled and explained, "I ran into a fellow townsman. His relatives from the vast grasslands sent him dozens of pounds of beef jerky, more than he could finish, so I bought some. The price was a bit high, though." Wang Weimin was overjoyed and waved his hand. "A slightly higher price is fine." When they procured items outside of the…

by MarineTL — Chapter 7: Returning to the Factory to Report "Where are you going? Come in," Zhou Yimin called out. He cracked an egg, ate the egg white, and left the yolk behind. Only then did the three siblings, Laifu and his two sisters, dawdle their way inside, all the while watching the old lady’s expression. The old lady repeated the same words, reminding the three little ones to always remember their big brother’s kindness, to listen to him, and not to be ungrateful, among other things. "Eat up!" Zhou…

Chapter
I Have A Store C06
by MarineTL — Chapter 6: The Misunderstanding Resolved Zhoujiazhuang was a village where almost everyone had the surname Zhou. As the saying goes, "even if bones are broken, the tendons are still connected"—most families were related in some way or another. For instance, Zhou Yimin and the family of the old village secretary were technically related, though distantly. They were beyond the five degrees of mourning relations, meaning they weren't closely related. In traditional Chinese kinship, five degrees of…
