He Tiantian is so sensible and endearing.

Huo Zhekun sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it; we have no choice in the matter!"

“That’s what I comforted Tiantian with too,” Jiang Lifang said. “Fortunately, Tiantian is able to think things through and doesn’t complain. We really have a good daughter-in-law.”

“That’s right,” Huo Zhekun said. “We’ve been watching him since he was a kid, how could he be bad!”

"Tian Tian is capable, so I should be happy. I didn't realize it when Ying Jie was around. But now that Ying Jie isn't here, and Tian Tian is so amazing, do you think...?" Women are so thoughtful, and Jiang Lifang already had this worry.

"No way." Huo Zhekun smiled. "We may not know others, but we know Tiantian, right? That girl didn't abandon Yingjie when he was going through such a difficult time; she went through thick and thin with him."

“Sometimes it’s easy to share hardship, but not many can continue to share wealth,” Jiang Lifang said worriedly. “I hope I’m just overthinking it!”

"You're overthinking it," Huo Zhekun said. "Tian Tian is a smart girl. It's fine if you say it to me, but you can't say it to Tian Tian herself. If you hurt her feelings, how is that any different from what your sister-in-law does!"

Huo Zhekun earnestly reminded Jiang Lifang.

Jiang Lifang nodded and said, "I'm just saying this in front of you, not in front of Tiantian. Anyway, let's do our best to take care of things at home and not let Tiantian get tired. Otherwise, when Yingjie comes back, he will complain that we didn't take good care of Tiantian."

"I won't resent it, but Yingjie will definitely not want to go to work if he sees Tiantian suffering and being wronged. If that happens, everyone will know about it, which will not be good for Yingjie's future development," Huo Zhekun sighed, hoping that his son could work in the research institute in peace and not cause any trouble.

The couple kept their worries to themselves.

Looking at her two sleeping children beside her, He Tiantian took out some stationery and began writing a letter to Huo Yingjie, filling three whole pages before stopping. She put it in an envelope, affixed a stamp, and planned to mail it the next day.

Now they can only get to know each other through letters, so much so that He Tiantian feels a sense of warmth whenever she sees an email address.

He Tiantian kissed the smiling man in the photo frame, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

There is no holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival now; people go to work or school as usual the next day.

When He Tiantian went to the shop on the weekend, she saw that everyone looked exhausted.

"What happened?" He Tiantian asked. "The Mid-Autumn Festival has been over for several days. Everyone's on shift, haven't they had a break yet?"

"We've changed shifts and are resting, but before the holiday, we were selling six pigs a day. We thought sales would drop after the holiday, but we didn't expect so many customers to come. Now we need six pigs a day to sell. So everyone is working harder," Sun Sihao replied. "It's the same at the pastry shop."

"Huh?" He Tiantian was surprised. "Then I'll go take a look. If we're really too busy, then we'll hire more people! We can't let everyone be exhausted just because business is good."

“Okay, this time I suggest we don’t recruit from acquaintances, we should recruit openly,” Sun Sihao said. “If we recruit too many people we know, even though we know them well, it’s easy for them to form cliques if there are too many of them.”

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll write a notice later and go recruit people. Uncle Sun, please tell everyone not to introduce any relatives."

“Okay!” Sun Sihao nodded. “By the way, Tiantian, when you have time, could you try to persuade Brother Qian? He got drunk on the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

"What's wrong?" He Tiantian asked in surprise. "Is Uncle Qian in a bad mood?"

“His son originally said he would come home in the summer. Brother Qian worked overtime to renovate the old house and got everything done, but his son and wife have not returned yet. I don’t know what happened, and I’m worried that they might be upset.”

"His son hasn't come back?" He Tiantian suddenly realized. "Uncle Qian must be worried. Okay, I'll go and talk to him later."

He Tiantian looked around and saw that everyone was indeed very tired. Recruiting people is a matter of human effort.

When people heard that the shop was hiring, they all came to plead for their help.

He Tiantian asked everyone to take an application form, fill it out, and then have an interview, with the best candidates being selected.

Although everyone was somewhat disappointed, they received an explanation from Sun Sihao. To keep their current jobs, they were at most a little unhappy, but held no resentment.

He Tiantian found Qian Shikun, but she didn't want to say much to comfort him. She said, "Uncle Qian, I know from Uncle Sun that you've been very confused lately. Instead of you worrying here, why don't you write me a letter and I'll have someone deliver it to you to inquire about your son's situation in Hong Kong?"

Qian Shikun thought about it and agreed. Rather than staying here brooding and smoking, he might as well ask someone to inquire.

"Thank you, Tiantian," Qian Shikun said. "I was just worried something might happen to them."

"Okay, don't overthink it." He Tiantian smiled. "I'll come to the shop again tomorrow. Give me the letter then."

"Yes, I'll write the letter when I get home from get off work," Qian Shikun said. He was worried that his wife and son would despise him and not want to come back to see him, after all, he had done so many terrible things when he was young.

Before he knew he had relatives, Qian Shikun was content with just having enough to eat and no one else was hungry, so he was always happy. Now that he knows he has relatives, he feels quite worried and concerned.

This is only natural, and He Tiantian understands.

The next day, He Tiantian came over, and Qian Shikun handed her a thick letter.

After returning home, He Tiantian gave the letter to her father-in-law, Huo Zhekun.

"Dad, this is a letter from Uncle Qian to his son in Hong Kong. He wanted to ask if something had happened to him, since he promised to come over this summer but hasn't returned even though it's Mid-Autumn Festival now?" He Tiantian said softly. She had no other way to contact him, so she could only ask her father-in-law for help.

“Okay, I’ll send the letter out as soon as possible,” Huo Zhekun said. He particularly liked dealing with these kinds of times now, as they might bring him a large investment and better develop the economy of Nanshi.

"Thank you, Dad," He Tiantian said.

"You're welcome. This is also to facilitate future work and increase communication," Huo Zhekun said with a smile. These foreign companies generally have strong financial resources and advanced technology, which play an important role in promoting the development of the domestic economy.

After a week of screening, the braised meat shop hired five people: two middle-aged men, one middle-aged woman, and two young girls. The pastry shop hired two young men and one young girl.

This greatly alleviated the labor shortage in the shop, allowing for a balance between work and rest.

Meanwhile, He Tiantian, Sun Sihao, and Qian Shikun also came up with a more reasonable way to pay wages, which made everyone happy.

Sun Sihao and Qian Shikun focused on their work, and the couple earned more than 8,000 yuan from He Tiantian, which would have been impossible before.
