Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 606 Dawn (12)

Every extra penny this girl spends means less for herself, and the thought of this makes her both anxious and heartbroken.

Uncle Jing asked, "Where are we taking her?"

"Don't rush, find out whose daughter she is first," said Aunt Jing. "Send her back to her family. What respectable family's daughter would stay at someone else's house and freeload off them?"

Jingchen and Yanzhen were completely unaware of their second uncle and aunt's ulterior motives.

On the second day of winter break, Jingchen took Yanzhen out and bought a folding camping trailer and two small chairs, as well as a batch of glow sticks, hand signs, light-up support bracelets and headbands, face stickers, temporary tattoos, and other items.

In the afternoon, the two arrived early outside the Haicheng Gymnasium and secured a spot to set up their stall.

Soon, the first transaction was completed. Two stylishly dressed girls bought glow sticks and cheering headbands. While Jingchen was making change, he also taught Yanzhen arithmetic.

The stall was set up from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the two of them sold about 70% of the more than 1,000 yuan worth of goods they had bought as a trial.

There were very few customers after the concert started, and the temperature dropped in the evening, much colder than during the day. Jing Chen was worried that Yan Zhen would catch a cold, so he packed up and went home.

After returning home, Jingchen cooked two bowls of noodles. After the two finished eating, Jingchen took out all the loose change in his bag and calculated that, after deducting the cost of the goods and the cart, he had earned 603 yuan in five hours.

"That's enough for our food expenses for 20 days," Jingchen said excitedly. "There's a lantern festival at Lotus Park the day after tomorrow. Every year, many couples go there. Let's go sell flowers there and make some money during the winter break. Let's have a big, prosperous New Year this year!"

Yan Zhen nodded vigorously: "Mmm!"

For the next two days, Yan Zhen and Jing Chen were busy.

They went to the flower farm to select and purchase a large box of flower wrapping paper, ribbons, and string lights. Jingchen, relying on his memory, fumbled to wrap two sets, and then taught Yanzhen how to wrap them. The two quickly got the hang of it.

Each bouquet contains only 3-5 flowers, but the colors and flowers are exquisitely matched and beautiful. Adding small, glowing string lights completes the ambiance.

Nearly 200 bunches were wrapped and filled six large buckets.

The bottom of the bucket is filled with water mixed with nutrient solution to ensure that the flowers do not lose water and wilt in a short time.

On the day of the lantern festival, Jingchen borrowed a tricycle from her downstairs neighbor and set off in the late afternoon, riding the tricycle loaded with flowers to Lotus Park.

Once we reached the sidewalk outside the park, we found that many vendors had already set up their stalls.

Jingchen chose a good spot to park his tricycle, put up a price sign for 10 yuan a bunch, and then told Yanzhen to sit on the tricycle and not move around. He then went to inspect the sidewalk.

There was another flower stall on the sidewalk, but the vendor was selling single red roses, which looked much less appealing compared to theirs.

When they returned to where the tricycle was parked, Jingchen found Yanzhen, who was carrying a coin purse, counting money.

One of the buckets of flowers clearly showed signs of being tampered with. He handed Yan Zhen a grilled sausage he'd bought from the stall next door: "Did someone buy some?"

Yan Zhen took the sausage, nodded, and held up his finger to make a "3", indicating that he had just sold three bouquets of flowers.

"Zhenzhen is amazing!" Jingchen ruffled her hair and whispered, "I have a feeling we can finish work early today. After we finish, how about we buy you a strawberry cake?"

Yan Zhen's eyes lit up: "Hmm!"

Jingchen's premonition was correct; as soon as it got dark, visitors flocked to Lotus Park.

Jingchen turned on all the small string lights on the bouquet, and for a moment, the entire back of the tricycle was bathed in ambient lighting, making it stand out brightly compared to the smoky food stalls around it.

Couples or girls passing by will almost always glance in this direction.

The lantern festival ended at 10:30 p.m., and by 9 p.m., nearly two hundred bouquets of flowers had all been sold out.

Jing Chen emptied the water from the bucket, stacked the six buckets to make room in the back compartment, and helped Yan Zhen sit on them: "Let's go buy a strawberry cake!"

After buying the strawberry cake, Jing Chen returned the tricycle to the neighborhood, then took Yan Zhen's hand in one hand and carried the cake in the other, heading home.

While climbing the stairs, Jingchen suddenly asked, "Isn't it tiring to do all this work with your brother?"

Yan Zhen shook his head: "Happy."

Although life isn't very comfortable right now, she knows that no matter what happens to the person beside her, as long as he's alive, he won't kick her out of the house when she was young, leaving her homeless, hungry, and cold.

That feeling of having something to rely on and confidence gave her an unprecedented sense of security and stability.

"Brother is happy too." Jing Chen's tone was tinged with laughter. "Zhenzhen, let's study hard together. When brother can earn money in the future, I'll buy you a big house with a yard, and plant lots and lots of roses and endless summer flowers in the yard... okay?"

Yan Zhen thought about it for a while, then shook her head: "Grow vegetables."

Jing Chen was amused by her: "Okay, let's grow vegetables then. You said the pumpkins that Aunt Cui brought over a few days ago were very sweet. They were brought over by her mother-in-law from the countryside. I'll ask her for some pumpkin seeds and plant a whole rack of pumpkins for you."

"Can't finish it."

“If we can’t finish them, we can make pumpkin cake, pumpkin desserts, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin porridge, or even pumpkin rice cereal,” Jingchen said. “And pumpkins can be stored for a long time, so we can save the leftovers.”

"it is good!"

The two chatted and laughed, but when they reached the third floor and saw their second uncle and aunt waiting at their door, Jing Chen's smile vanished instantly.

He frowned at his second uncle and his wife, whose smiles had vanished and whose ill intentions were obvious: "What are you doing here again?"

The second aunt was originally leaning against the railing with her arms crossed, but when she saw Jingchen and Yanzhen, her gaze fell on the strawberry cake that Jingchen was carrying. She saw that the strawberries in the transparent box were big and red, something that even her son couldn't afford.

Yan Zhen was wearing a brand new down jacket, both in style and fabric, which was of the highest quality and cost at least 200 yuan.

She was immediately envious, but suppressing her temper, she raised her chin and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

“Say it right here: You are not welcome in my home.”

Second Aunt: "..."

Suppressing her anger, she asked, "Who is that girl?"

Jing Chen paused slightly, realizing that the couple had come for Yan Zhen tonight. He shielded Yan Zhen behind him and asked, "What's it to you?"

Aunt Jing's voice suddenly rose: "You picked up a little beggar outside and brought her back as your sister, and even registered her in the household? Jing Chen, your second uncle and I have spoiled you for so many years for nothing! Your parents have paid so much compensation, and you haven't thought of helping us uncles and aunts with a single penny. Instead, you've spent it all on this beggar of unknown origin. If your parents find out, they won't rest in peace..."

"None of your business!" Jing Chen interrupted her, his face cold, pointing to the stairwell entrance, "Get out!"

"Who the hell are you telling to get lost?" Uncle Jing couldn't tolerate a junior being so arrogant in front of him, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to teach Jing Chen a lesson.

Seeing this, Jing Chen picked up Yan Zhen and took a few steps back, then shouted with all his might, "Help! Help! Robbery!!!"
