Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 247: Cultivating Talent

"Still ten, but they’re all below twenty years old, some as young as fifteen or sixteen. I thought, these kids wouldn’t suspect much. Besides, many of them have had tough lives. I didn’t recruit many, but these ten are absolutely trustworthy! Each of them has small traders under them from various places, so we can almost sell the goods immediately once we get them!" Wang Cheng talked about his business with great enthusiasm.

"Alright, got it. I have some ideas. Let’s discuss it after the New Year!" Lin Xue mentioned it briefly and didn’t want to go further since Uncle Wang’s daughter and Aunt Wang were present; she instinctively didn’t want to continue.

She thought that she had met the young men Uncle Wang recruited, and they all seemed good, smart even. Several of them showed leadership skills and had their own followers, doing quite well, but their education level was too low. So she considered whether to find someone to teach them in the evenings.

This way, she could really cultivate a group of talented people.

"Alright! Then let’s talk after the New Year, Uncle Wang is waiting for your arrangements!" Wang Cheng nodded and agreed enthusiastically.

In the end, Lin Xue couldn’t refuse and stayed at their house for a dumpling meal before leaving.

As the New Year approached, many people on vacation made the employees left at the milk powder factory especially busy working overtime.

It was already the night of the twenty-ninth, and New Year’s Eve was approaching, and Lin Daliang couldn’t leave work early to go home.

They only had dinner after dark. Although the table was set, the three elders refused to eat first, insisting on waiting for Lin Daliang to come back before eating together.

They had eaten quite a few snacks that Lin Xue brought out during the day, like cookies, so Lin Xue let them wait. However, Zhang Yuan was already in the space waiting for her, and she was also anxious, waiting for a long time until it was completely dark before Lin Daliang returned.

"Dad, you’re finally back. Come on, I’ve poured water for you, hurry up and wash up, let’s eat!" Lin Xia, though in her own room, was always paying attention to the courtyard gate, and ran out as soon as she saw her dad return.

Lin Yun didn’t come out, she was always in her workspace making clothes. Ever since her eldest sister promised to let her take orders, as long as it didn’t delay her studies and no one found out, her orders had been flowing in.

Her little savings were almost at a thousand, which she only found out because she brought it to her last time.

The little girl stood next to her eldest sister with more than six hundred yuan, smiling as she handed the money over, saying it was earned from making clothes.

Lin Xue was a bit surprised; she went to school every day, and her grades were above average. Where did she find the time to make so many clothes and earn so much money?

Only when she asked did she find out that there were some kids from wealthy families at school, who said their relatives in big cities really liked the clothes she made when visiting once, and specifically ordered custom-made ones from her, paying generously and using some of her own fabric, so she ended up with so much money.

Lin Xue didn’t take the money, only told her to save it for herself as a dowry in the future. The little girl initially refused but was eventually persuaded by her eldest sister. However, she said they should split some for the eldest sister and the three younger sisters, and wanted to divide her earnings equally among them as a dowry for the five sisters.

The little girl’s outburst made her even more motivated. Lin Xue also told her that to learn fashion design, she must first learn to draw, so now the little girl’s free time was even less.

However, the art teachers in town were average, so Lin Xue had decided long ago to hire interest teachers for her sisters when they started high school to give them lessons.

By then, they could focus on whatever they liked best.

Although in this era, having an education meant one wouldn’t be left behind, it was only to secure a job; having a specialty was much more valuable.

"Are you hungry, girl? Why wait for Dad? You should eat first!" Lin Daliang, after a year of work, had developed some speaking skills and always had something to chat about with the kids.

"Grandma and grandparents insisted on waiting for you to come back before eating. They said it’s auspicious for the family to be together during the New Year! Hurry Dad, eldest sister made salt-baked shrimp tonight, I’m craving it!" Lin Xia urged him while calling out to the house,

"Dad’s back, prepare to eat! Mom, heat the dishes!"

Lin Xue covered her face; was she that hungry to be so anxious?

She just went into the space to tell Zhang Yuan that they hadn’t eaten yet and might be late coming in. Zhang Yuan waved his hand saying, "It’s alright, I’ll look after Xiao Bai here."

Lin Xue covered her face even more; what was up with them all? Were they that impatient, seizing even this bit of free time? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Wang Cuihua came out laughing, joking as she went to heat the dishes.

But there was no need; the food was kept warm in the big iron pot.

The two brothers immediately ran out to help with the dishes and assist Grandma and Grandpa to sit down.

Seeing this, Lin Xue knew they were excited to eat seafood. She had made quite a bit of it that night, so they all seemed impatient.

She also stepped forward to help, and the meal was filled with joy.

The three elders weren’t too fond of seafood, so Lin Xue also made chicken stew, braised ribs, and vinegar-glazed cabbage for them.

A big table of delicious food surrounded by children and grandchildren. Grandma and Grandpa were fine; they had been eating lavishly these days and having a lot of grandchildren already, so there wasn’t much contrast.

Bai Xianglan, however, had shed tears several times these days, constantly saying she didn’t know what she did to deserve such blessings from heaven.

She repeatedly brought up their grandpa, lamenting how he missed out on seeing so many grandchildren and never enjoyed his son’s success.

These words made everyone feel a bit sad, prompting Lin Daliang to specially take a couple of hours off to bring his sons to light incense.

Until Li Xiuying couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded them that living people shouldn’t linger too much on the departed, lest they disturb the balance, which brought an end to Bai Xianglan’s words.

"Here, Mom, have more chicken, it’s good for your health!" Lin Daliang picked up a piece of chicken, and his chopsticks almost clashed with Wang Cuihua’s as she was doing the same, saying, "Mom, the chicken is soft and easy to digest!"

Both placed the chicken in each other’s mother’s bowl, with Lin Daliang putting the meat in Li Xiuying’s bowl and Wang Cuihua in Bai Xianglan’s.

Lin Daliang quickly picked another piece and placed it in Grandpa Wang’s bowl, "Dad, you too, have more, you rarely serve yourself!"

The little ones immediately burst into laughter and, with a glance at each other, passed their bowls to their dad, all wanting him to serve them.

They found it novel; they all knew how grateful their dad was to Grandma and Grandpa, but he rarely showed it.

Now that their dad’s emotional intelligence was on the rise, how could they not tease him a bit?

Laughter echoed all around, making Lin Daliang slightly embarrassed until Wang Cuihua shooed the little ones’ bowls away, feigning anger, which settled them down. What a scene.

Lin Xue sighed, remembering when she first came, the whole family squeezed in a tiny clay house, struggling to get enough to eat; even wild vegetable porridge was a luxury. Looking around now, it was indeed a world of difference.
