"You have a whole family to eat, drink, and take care of all sorts of things."

Especially grain, it's not so easy to buy. Auntie San was about to stuff the rest of the money into Song Yan's hand.

"Third Aunt, Xiao Hu is very clever. With him around, we won't have to worry about not being able to buy food." Song Yan put the money back into Third Aunt's hand.

Auntie San didn't want to keep passing the buck with Song Yan. There were plenty of things needed for daily life; she could buy them herself if she wanted.

The whole family ate together that evening, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Wei Aiguo was in a much better mood.

That evening, Song Yan found out why Wei Aiguo was happy.

Today, Aunt Ji came to see him and said that there would be no problem with Old Yu's retirement. She assured him that he could take Old Yu to complete the formalities.

Wei Aiguo then went to Old Yu to complete his retirement procedures.

Old Yu will get his salary next month. That will ensure his basic livelihood.

Wei Aiguo: "My mother was talking to me just now. She wanted to invite General Shen to dinner."

I haven't properly thanked Wei An for what he did back then."

Song Yan sighed inwardly, thinking that her mother-in-law was truly a good person and a rare wise one.

Song Yan: "I'll talk to my mother tomorrow, let's do it next week!"

I'm afraid I'll be very busy this week.

By the way, your vacation is almost here, right?

Wei Aiguo: "Yes! Soon!" This holiday is unusually long.

Song Yan: "Little Tiger's face is all smiles, the goods are selling well, right?"

Wei Aiguo: "Definitely."

Little Tiger, who was being nagged, was counting his money. One hundred and thirty-eight yuan and sixty cents.

Chunyang watched Xiaohu count the money. As for the other children, they all ran off to Old Zeng to listen to his stories.

"Brother Xiaohu, can I go with you tomorrow?" Chunyang knew that Brother Xiaohu was supporting her studies. She hoped that she could earn some money so that Brother Xiaohu could have less of a burden.

Looking into Chunyang's expectant eyes, Xiaohu couldn't bring himself to refuse. He even forgot the embarrassment of her washing his underwear that morning.

Xiao Hu was really busy today. He had to watch over the goods and collect the money all by himself. And he's noticed these past two days that there's basically no one supervising the sales.

Xiao Hu nodded unconsciously.

Spring sunshine departed merrily.
