The next day, Zhou Suisui took Xiao Ya to the clothing store.

Xiaoya followed Zhou Suisui nervously. Zhou Suisui looked back and said, "Xiaoya, don't be nervous. Sales is not a difficult job. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Let me tell you about your future colleagues now."

Xiaoya nodded: "Aunt San, tell me, I'll remember it."

"There are four employees in the store right now: a cashier, two salespeople, and a delivery person. The salesperson is called Xie Jia, and the other two are Yanhong and Liu Lili. They're all women, older than you, so just call them sisters. The delivery person is a boy, and he and Yanhong are engaged. They're probably getting married soon. These are the only four people in our store. I'll introduce them to you when we get to the store."

"Don't worry, they're all very easy to get along with. When you get to the store, just sell goods to Yanhong and Liu Lili. It's sales, so learn from them how to be a good salesperson. Your salary will be the same as theirs, with commissions. The more you work, the more you earn. It's very fair."

The little girl nodded and said, "Aunt San, I understand. Don't worry, I will do my best and won't let you down."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see."

"But... Third Aunt, please give me less salary. I have to eat and live here, and I can't waste your money." Xiao Ya frowned and said.

Zhou Suisui was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, then I'll deduct five dollars a month as your food allowance."

"There's still money for housing, Aunt San."

"You don't need to spend money to live here. This is Aunt San's house. Why would you need money to live here?"

The little girl stopped talking.

Zhou Suisui brought Xiao Ya to the store. At this time, the other four people had already arrived.

"Sister, Happy New Year." Yanhong spoke first.

"Girl, why does your face look rounder after the New Year?" Zhou Suisui joked.

"Sister~" Yanhong felt embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Let me introduce you to a new employee in our store, Zhou Xiaoya. She's my in-laws' niece and will be working in sales with Yanhong and Sister Liu."

"Welcome, welcome!" Everyone's enthusiasm made Xiao Ya, who had just arrived, relax a little.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xiaoya, you can just call me Xiaoya from now on." Xiaoya couldn't say anything else.

Yanhong pulled Xiaoya away and told her some work matters and requirements. Xiaoya listened very carefully. Xiaoya was the youngest one here, and everyone took good care of her.

The rest of the people cleaned up the dust and garbage in the store, and then started to work, putting out the clothes, each doing their own job.

Zhou Suisui observed in the store for the whole morning, and Xiao Ya was still very restrained at the beginning.

But Liu Lili and Yanhong both took her with them, and both of them were willing to teach her if she didn't know something.

In just one morning, Xiao Ya gradually adapted to the work here.

During lunch, Yanhong came over excitedly and said, "Sister Zhou, Xiaoya is really smart. She remembers the prices of clothes very quickly and clearly. She's much better than I was back then."

"You are amazing too, Yanhong."

After being praised by Zhou Sui Sui, her rosy little face turned red instantly.

Zhou Suisui saw that there was nothing to worry about here, so he left with a smile.

In the afternoon, she went to the factory again, took the clothing drafts she had designed recently, and asked the factory to produce a batch.

It is the time to produce spring clothes now. The clothes in Zhou Suisui's store have become unique in Beijing.

Whether it is a factory or a clothing store, Zhou Suisui no longer needs to work in person. There are dedicated people to take charge. Zhou Suisui only needs to check on it occasionally. When new clothes are made, Zhou Suisui will go to the store to see the style, so she is quite comfortable as a boss.

Moreover, her current monthly income is many times higher than Gu Jingheng's.

Gu Jingheng himself knew about this matter, but he didn't care at all and took it for granted that he was living off the woman.

When Gu's parents first learned about this matter, they were worried that their son would get stuck in a rut or feel embarrassed.

But when they saw Gu Jingheng's indifferent and proud expression, the old couple completely gave up the idea.

They were overthinking it.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu are living a very good life now. They can see their three grandsons and granddaughters every day.

Not to mention the food. Even if Zhou Suisui doesn't cook sometimes and Gu's mother cooks for him, the food is still very good and not bad at all.

Now that they know that their son's family is not short of money, they are slowly changing their minds and learning to enjoy life.

After dinner, when I have nothing to do, I go out for a walk, play with birds, and chat with other old men and women.

After all, the people here are all city dwellers, and most of them are well-educated, as Gu's mother has a deep understanding of.

She chatted with the old ladies of the same age here, and she was much more polite than chatting with those ruffians or illiterate old ladies in the village.

People did not look down on her just because she was from the countryside. Instead, they took her in to chat and get to know the old lady together.

The old couple stayed here for a month and got to know almost all the old men and women around them.

Sometimes when Zhou Suisui comes back, he doesn’t see the old couple. They are busy making friends, playing chess, and dancing. Anyway, they are busy all day long.

This reminded Zhou Suisui of the old men and women who danced square dance in later generations, who were basically in the same state.

Zhou Suisui now has more time to review the knowledge for the college entrance examination.

In June, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread across the country, and the whole country was in excitement.

Especially some educated youth who went to the countryside were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

Zhou Suisui didn't pay much attention to these things. He was just immersed in his own world and took his two sons to study together.
