In the early summer of 1984, the breeze carried the scent of machine oil and ginger milk pudding. Lin Xiaotang tended her family's corner shop, checking the accounts while picking up her younger brother after school. She filled their ordinary days with the warmth of everyday life.
As the tide of urban development swept in, a demolition notice shattered their peaceful routine. With a fortune in hand, what would Lin Xiaotang decide to do?
She divided the money into three portions: put some in a fixed-term deposit, buy a house and become a landlady, and use what remained to either launch a business on her own or return to the steady old trade of running the corner shop.
Life as a landlady was far too idle, and the flame of entrepreneurship in her heart burned ever brighter!
At her younger brother's parent-teacher meeting, she met a composed man: her brother's classmate's uncle. He went from admiring her shrewdness to supporting her ambition, becoming her most reliable ally on the road to building her business.
Focused on her life, she made plans for her future one step at a time. When the everyday warmth of ordinary life met passionate, sincere love, new possibilities quietly opened up for Lin Xiaotang amid the changing times and the clash of emotions.
This is the story of a girl raised with love, and how she used her wisdom and hard work to preserve warmth amid the tides of change and find success in both business and love.
My new work is out! Please come read it on Tomato Novel. I hope you'll enjoy it. Your support inspires me to write, and I'll do my best to tell every story well!
It looks pretty good, I just need to adjust the spacing between the text, it's a bit hard on the eyes to read a long paragraph 🤦
It's well written and the story is heartwarming.
Big cheers for the author! The article is very detailed and has a touch of warmth, but it's just too little.
