The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 198 How to Support a Garbage Collector

He Zhicheng had been giving the security guards a moral education lesson all day, and was drinking tea to soothe his throat when he heard a knock on the door. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Ahem, come in!"

The door was pushed open, and when he saw Lin Xi, he almost spat out his tea.

Why is this old lady here again?

Who's been so blind as to provoke her again?

No way! She beat someone up like that yesterday. Everyone pretended not to know, but it's all over the place. Who would dare mess with her?

Did she offend her grandmother?

No way! Today he focused on introducing the names and appearances of the Lin family members, repeatedly emphasizing that you should never mess with the Lin family.

Others might at most make you lose your job, but Lin Xi could kill you if she gets angry.

There was blood in the office just now, and the master said there can't be any more blood!

In just a few seconds, He Zhicheng's mind raced. He decided to just admit his mistake first, no matter what.

"Xiao Xi, I'm so sorry. It was my fault for not checking the security guards in time, which allowed the HR staff to take advantage of the situation. I've already dismissed all the relevant personnel..."

Lin Xi waved her hand to interrupt, "Manager He, that matter is over. I'm here for other things. Do you have any parking spaces for rent in our community? Oh, no need to rent them out anymore. Do you have any for sale?"

He Zhicheng's heart immediately jumped back into his throat, and he gave a forced smile. "Yes! Xiaoxi, how big do you want? What kind of car do we have?"

"The bigger the better."

He Zhicheng, unusually devoid of his businessman's demeanor, reminded her, "Xiao Xi, a garage isn't necessarily better the bigger it is. Just buy one that suits your car model, otherwise it's a waste of money."

"Manager He, I bought it for my grandfather to use for collecting recyclables. Of course, the bigger the better. Besides storing recyclables, we also need to leave room for the tricycle."

He Zhicheng, with all his cunning and calculations, never expected that Lin Xi would specifically buy a garage for the old man to store his trash. This is a prime location in the city center, where every inch of land is incredibly valuable!

He was usually very tactful, but at this moment he didn't know what to say.

"Then...then I'll take you to see it now."

He Zhicheng recommended a 50-square-meter garage to Lin Xi. It not only had a curb but also a green belt next to it, which should be enough for the old man to play in.

Lin Xi was very satisfied with the product and immediately made the decision, "How much?"

Given that he had offended the old man before, He Zhicheng offered a discount and rounded down the amount to 20 yuan as an apology.

Lin Xi appreciated the gesture. "Uncle He, thank you. Please keep this from my grandfather for now. When it's announced in a few days, please remember to come and support us."

The affectionate "Uncle He" made He Zhicheng so happy he was completely overjoyed, and he repeatedly agreed.

Although he didn't know how to support the garbage collection.

Lin Xi had already called Lin Guiying to say that she had something to buy and would be back late, so no one asked her any questions when she got home.

She took a shopping bag out of her schoolbag. "Grandma, Grandma! I bought you a dress for dancing. Come and try it on!"

Lin Guiying happily accepted the gift while complaining, "Oh dear, what a waste of money! It doesn't matter what clothes you wear, you'll still be dancing!"

Upon opening it, a white tracksuit came into view.

The top is a hooded sweatshirt, which is perfect for wearing for a long time now that the weather is getting cooler.

The bottom is pure white sweatpants, loose on top and tight on the bottom, with elasticity, looking very comfortable.

"Xiaoxi, this is for young people. Is it really appropriate for me to wear it?"

"Grandma, haven't you noticed that all the grandmas who do square dancing wear this? They're just dressed in different colors."

You look best in light colors, go try them on!

After Lin Guiying changed her clothes, Lin Xi gave her a thumbs up, saying that she had good taste and that this outfit made her look twenty years younger.

Lin Guojun chuckled foolishly, "Hehe, Ying, it looks great! Xiao Xi, buy two more sets for your grandma so she can wear a different one every day."

"Okay, Grandpa! I'll have my grandma wear it for you every day."

Lin Guiying raised her hand and smacked each of them, saying, "What are you saying! One's an old lecher, and the other's a little lecher!"

After the meal, Lin Guiying secretly pulled Lin Xi aside and asked, "How was yesterday?"

Lin Xi didn't want to go into details, so she replied casually, "Grandma, just like you thought, it was just a security guard's personal behavior, and he's already been fired. Oh, and I thought of a good idea, you can try it these next few days..."

After muttering to herself for a while, Lin Guiying held up two fingers, sighed, and said, "Oh dear, how much trash would I have to collect to earn that back? Maybe I should just give the backyard to the old man?"

However, dancing is the most important thing right now. Lin Guiying changed into the clothes her granddaughter had just bought for her and dragged Lin Guojun to the park.

While her grandfather was away, Lin Xi rode her scooter at breakneck speed to the mall and bought a bunch of paints and brushes. She then went to the newly purchased garage and began to paint and draw.

I didn't go home until it got dark, after I had packed my things away in the garage.

Lin Guiying and Lin Guojun entered the house shortly after Lin Guiying arrived.

Lin Guiying was sweating profusely, her face was rosy, and she looked radiant, as if she hadn't had enough.

She excitedly recounted how many people praised her dancing today, saying she had great skin and looked young, like she was in her forties...

"By the way, Xiaoxi, where did you buy this outfit? Xiumei wants to buy one too."

Lin Xi was taken aback. "Who is Xiu Mei?"

"My new friend is such a nice person, we exchanged phone numbers..."

Lin Xi was very happy to see that her grandmother had returned to her former lively and cheerful self and had quickly made new friends.

Lin Guojun looked at his wife with doting eyes. She had been talking about the villagers every day for a while, but now she could finally distract herself.

For several days in a row, Lin Guiying went out to dance in the square every day, and sent Lin Guojun away while Lin Xi busied herself in the garage.

Friday night arrived quickly. Lin Xi deliberately didn't go to bed early and sat in the living room reading until almost midnight when Lin Dayuan dragged his tired body home.

"dad."

"Xiao Xi, are you still awake?"

Since the new store opened, Lin Dayuan has been setting off before dawn every day and working until midnight without taking a single day off.

Despite living under the same roof, they rarely get to see their families.

"Dad, it's the weekend tomorrow, will you come with me to buy Grandpa a tricycle? Oh, and I also bought Grandpa a garage to store recyclables. He doesn't know yet, I'm planning to surprise him tomorrow afternoon..."

She knew her dad was busy lately, but she was only nine years old and couldn't afford a car, and even if she did, she couldn't drive it back home.

Although Lin Dayuan was very busy, he knew a little about what had happened at home recently. His mother had become obsessed with square dancing and danced enthusiastically every day. His father talked to a scooter every day. His daughter was as outstanding as ever and he didn't have to worry about anything.

But he had never heard of buying a garage to collect garbage. And why hold an opening ceremony? Was it really necessary to be so formal?

"Xiao Xi, do I know why?"

Lin Xi felt that her grandparents almost became "lonely old people" in spirit, and her father bore some responsibility for that.
