I Have A Store C139
by MarineTL — Chapter 139: Hiring the Projectionist Right now, the renminbi still holds considerable value—about 2.5 yuan could be exchanged for 1 US dollar. Of course, you couldn’t get a dollar for 2.5 yuan on the black market. As mentioned earlier, foreign currency was in extreme short supply in China, and it was nearly impossible to acquire foreign currency through official channels. Put it this way—if you had foreign currency, you could buy goods without ration coupons. That’s how important foreign…

by MarineTL — Chapter 138 – The Hot-Blooded Twins “Young man, who are you looking for?” Zhou Yimin handed over a cigarette. “Uncle, does Lu Guofu, the film projectionist, live in this courtyard?” “Looking for Guofu? He’s one of ours, lives right in the front yard. You came at the right time—he’s home today.” The old man shouted toward the inside after speaking, “Guofu, come out, someone’s here for you.” They were already in a different neighborhood, so it was understandable that the old man…

I Have A Store C137
by MarineTL — Chapter 137: Inviting Master Quan Two days later, Zhou Yimin returned to the city early and headed straight to the courtyard next door to look for Master Quan.

This time, he just planned to set up a few tables in the village to mark the occasion. A short while later, he arrived at Master Quan’s front door. These…

I Have A Store C136
by MarineTL — Chapter 136: Mushroom Seeds When the old Party Secretary heard that Zhou Yimin was planning a 60th birthday celebration for his grandmother—and from the looks of it, he was going to do it properly—he couldn't help feeling a twinge of envy. Compared to his own grandson, who was basically a useless mess, this was a stark contrast. His own grandson couldn’t even remember his birthday, let alone help plan a celebration. Might as well go to bed early tonight—maybe he’d dream of something…

I saw him ride back on a bicycle.” Huang Lan’s parents were on their way home when they ran into some fellow villagers. Hearing this, the couple was even more surprised. At first, when others mentioned it, they hadn’t really believed it. But when enough people say the same thing, it’s hard not to. “Made it big? That bike might be borrowed,” Huang Lan’s father said. The two quickened their pace. Before…

by MarineTL — Chapter 132 – Third Aunt Returns to Her Parental Home Going back for a day? Zhou Yimin asked, “Is Third Aunt’s parental home close by?” Third Aunt smiled and said, “Not too far. It’s Xinghua Village in the Anping Commune—just over three hours away.” She had been quite worried about her natal family. In the past, it wasn’t like worrying would do any good—her own household was barely scraping by and had to rely on others for support. But now, things had improved at home. They had some…
