For over three months, Yu Songyu's two new Big Tile Houses and the courtyard wall were basically completed. The newly built rooms created a small courtyard, giving Yu Songyu his own independent space. The outer wall was thick and high, making it difficult for anyone to climb over. Yang Qinghe had also brought back a number of glass bottles from the beverage factory in town, smashed them, and fixed them atop the wall for added security. The main gate was made of high-quality Red Pine Wood, which contributed to a sense of safety and an air of nobility.
Yu Songyu had checked the accounts in town a couple of times, and the income was quite satisfactory. The Supply and Marketing store was managed efficiently by Wang Zhaoran; aside from restocking, Yu Songyu hardly needed to worry about it. In his spare time, he also collected dry goods from some farmers in the village to sell at the Supply and Marketing store. Although they didn’t fetch high prices, it still generated some income for the villagers. As a result, the villagers' impression of him had improved significantly.
The villagers were unaware that Yu Songyu was the mastermind behind the Supply and Marketing store; they believed that Wang Erlai had managed to establish it on his own and were envious of him for having such a good opportunity. Wang Erlai worked diligently, not only performing well in the tasks assigned by Yu Songyu but also taking on additional responsibilities. For instance, he helped deliver fish to the State-Owned Hotel several times. Whenever there was work to be done, he would find a few people to assist him and even helped tidy up the yards of two Old Ladies.
He had also established connections with the leaders of both the beverage factory and the Milk Candy factory, allowing him to sell several products produced by their factories at the Supply and Marketing store. Naturally, with Wang Zhaoran's exceptional work capability, Yu Songyu enjoyed a more relaxed schedule. His salary had increased from a modest amount to a more substantial one. In this era, earning such a salary was something ordinary workers could hardly even dream of. With wages as high as his, he was among the few in the entire region.
Yu Songyu believed that Wang Zhaoran's abilities were worth even more than what he was being paid; he felt that he was undercompensated. Every time they met, he reminded Wang Zhaoran not to give up on learning—some tasks could be delegated to trusted individuals without needing to do everything himself. Their relationship had grown even closer than before.
On this day off from work, Yu Songyu finally found time to prepare for a visit back to modern times. Ever since the Two Grandmothers had gone to town, Yang Qinghe, Li Xiuzhen, and Wang Jianjun had moved in with her to live together.
During the day, in order to avoid drawing attention, she would spend a whole morning or afternoon at the Lin Industry Bureau Broadcast Station. This way, she could prevent some nosy gossipers from seeing her and claiming that she was slacking off instead of working.
Today, Yang Qinghe was going to a meeting in the county and would likely be gone all day. As for Wang Jianjun and Li Xiuzhen, they were heading into the mountains, equipped with a Ma Bag, ready to catch some forest frogs since the area had become more developed. Yu Songyu told them that she was going to the town today, which gave her a rare day of leisure.
After packing a few old items into her backpack, Yu Songyu took a taxi to the Antique Market. This market had a long history, although it had become a mixed bag over time, with both genuine and fake antiques. In recent years, it had turned into a trendy spot for social media influencers.
The market retained its original architectural style along with some buildings that exuded a sense of history, while also adding modern structures. Nowadays, you could even find restaurants, food shops, and cafes along the antique street. There were countless small shops selling souvenirs and crafts.
Yu Songyu paused in front of an elegantly styled shop. The store was large and impressive, suggesting that the owner likely possessed both discerning taste and financial means. However, she was surprised by the indifferent attitude of the staff who greeted her. Perhaps they saw her youth and the backpack on her back and thought she was just an ordinary college student.
