Seeing that Xu Junhui was no longer upset, Huang Qinqin decided to go into the kitchen to help.

It's been almost a month since she married into the family, and Huang Qinqin knows that Xu Weiguo and Xu Junhui can do everything except cook.

Huang Qinqin had eaten their cooking once, and it was quite an experience. A simple vegetable dish could be crispy on the outside and raw on the inside, and a hot and sour shredded potato dish could have all the flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy appearing at the same time in one dish.

I don't know if this can be considered a unique kind of talent.

From then on, Huang Qinqin felt a little scared whenever she saw them about to enter the kitchen.

There are quite a few people eating today, and Zhang Yumei definitely can't handle it all by herself, so it would be better if Huang Qinqin could help out.

"Dad, why don't you go out and rest for a while? Mom and I can stay together."

Xu Weiguo is the type of person who is bad at cooking but has a great passion for it. Despite his poor cooking skills, he loves cooking and always feels that he just hasn't practiced enough.

I think if he cooked every day, he would definitely become a culinary master in no time!

"No need, I can do it. It's a good opportunity to practice my cooking skills. Let me tell you, I just haven't been cooking enough. If I practiced for a while, I would definitely be much better!"

Xu Weiguo had a blind confidence in his culinary skills.

He was confident, but Zhang Yumei and Huang Qinqin next to him shuddered.

They simply couldn't imagine what they would become if they ate Xu Weiguo's cooking for a period of time.

Since they had already cooked the food, and they couldn't waste it, they forced themselves to eat it, and afterwards, they all felt somewhat nauseous.

Zhang Yumei said deceptively, "I definitely believe you, but since we have guests today, it will be faster if Qinqin and I go together. Let's do it next time, I'll let you practice again next time."

"Alright then, thank you for your hard work. If you need any help, just call me anytime. I'll be outside."

Xu Weiguo said reluctantly, turning back every few steps.

Zhang Yumei and Huang Qinqin exchanged a smile, finally managing to seduce him. The two of them then began preparing lunch in tacit agreement.

Because dinner was served a little late today, Huang Qinqin told Xu Junhui to go and rest for a while after the meal, and that she would clean up the dishes.

Xu Junhui didn't mind, and said while working, "It's okay, I'm just washing a few dishes, it'll be quick. Aren't you going to take your cousin and the others to the guest room? Go ahead."

Seeing that Xu Junhui insisted, Huang Qinqin had no choice but to let him go. Fortunately, he didn't work in the workshop, otherwise it would be too hard for him to not have a lunch break.

There are four guest rooms in the house, but there are six of them. Huang Qinqin didn't know who was familiar with whom, so she simply asked directly.

"There are four rooms in the house. How do you plan to accommodate the four of you? You'll need to split into two groups and each room will be occupied by two people."

After discussing it, they decided that Huang Jiancai and Huang Jianhua would share a room, while Huang Jianmin and his classmate Zhang Yueli would share a room.

Huang Guiming and Li Chen, the grandson of the brigade secretary, shared a room.

Since they had all made up their minds, Huang Qinqin told them to get some rest. Xu Weiguo had already asked around, and the department store would probably post the notice tomorrow.

So all they need to do today is get some rest.

......

After exercising in the evening, Huang Qinqin complained that Xu Junhui was too hot holding her and tried to push him away, but Xu Junhui didn't budge.

After trying to push it twice without success, Huang Qinqin had no choice but to give up. Then she jokingly said, "Junhui, what if I don't get a job at the department store? Will you look down on me for being useless?"

Xu Junhui replied immediately, "How could that be! Let's not even talk about how my salary is already enough for us. Your monthly royalties alone add up to quite a bit, more than the wages of many ordinary workers in the factory."

"Besides, with your abilities, how could you possibly fail the exam? If you really didn't pass, it must be the department store's fault!"

Huang Qinqin certainly believed she could pass the exam, but she just wanted to hear Xu Junhui praise her, hehe~

"Then you'd better treat me well. If I get a job at the department store, I'll give you an extra dollar of pocket money every month, okay?"

"Really?! That's wonderful!"

Xu Junhui hugged Huang Qinqin's face and kissed her, then fell asleep contentedly.

......

The next morning

Xu Junhui sensed that Huang Qinqin had gotten up and asked her sleepily, "Wife, why are you up so early?"

Huang Qinqin yawned and replied, "I have to get up and cook breakfast with Mom. There are a lot of people eating, and it will be tiring for me to do it alone."

"Then I'll get up and help you too?" she said, sitting up and getting ready to get out of bed.

"No need, you can continue sleeping. Even if you get up, you won't be able to help us."

Xu Junhui: ...Is he really that useless? At the very least, he can still help with the fire.

Seeing that Xu Junhui still got up with her, Huang Qinqin didn't call him back to sleep. Since he was willing to do it, she let him do it. At worst, she would just send him to start the fire.

......

After finishing their meal, Huang Qinqin and Huang Jiancai set off for the department store together.

Xu Weiguo told them to bring their documents along, since registration would most likely start today.

Upon arriving at the department store, Huang Jianmin felt he had truly broadened his horizons. The department store actually had three floors, and it was incredibly large.

He thought the school was big enough, but the department store turned out to be even bigger than his high school!

However, the high school in the city only has one floor and only two grades, with only two classes in each grade, so it's understandable that it's small.

Huang Jianmin excitedly asked Huang Qinqin, "Qinqin, this department store is so big, how many employees will it need?"

Huang Qinqin shook her head: "I don't know either, but I heard that the department store will sell a lot of things that don't require tickets in the future, but they might be a bit expensive."

"Such a big building must need to hire a lot of people. I think we have a great chance this time!"

"You country bumpkins, do you think you can even get into a department store?"

A girl dressed in a dress walked by and, hearing their conversation, said sarcastically, "This is a department store. You two probably haven't even been to a supply and marketing cooperative more than a few times, have you?"

"There's still a good chance. Have you all been to school? To get into a department store, you need at least a high school diploma, and you have to take an exam."

"You guys should go back and learn how to write your own names first! Humph!"

Huang Guiming had never been humiliated like this before. They were indeed poorly dressed, and their clothes were old, but they were clean and without patches. What right did she have to say that?!

When Huang Qinqin saw that Huang Guiming wanted to go up and argue with her, she quickly shook her head at him. They didn't know if this person had any background, so it was better not to get into conflicts with others.

He whispered to them, "It's okay, just think of it as being barked at by a dog. We can't hold a grudge against a dog, right?"
