From a life of blissful idleness, "naively sweet" Su Le unexpectedly transmigrates to the arduous 1970s and becomes the little darling of her family. It should have been another life of lei...
Li Ningwei held Li Zichen and Su Le tightly with her hands, worried that they would abandon her. Her eyes also became uneasy.
The group walked to Jiang Liang's building materials store. Li Ningwei suddenly grabbed Li Zichen's trouser leg and burst into tears, "Can you please not give me away? I will be good. I don't want any gifts or new clothes."
Li Zichen picked her up, and Su Le comforted her softly, "We are not sending anyone away. We are here to look for an uncle."
Xu Jiaojiao followed up, "Weiwei, we're here to discuss work, don't be afraid."
Li Ningwei looked at Li Zichen, Su Le, and Xu Jiaojiao with tears in her eyes. "Really? Is it true?"
Seeing the three of them nod, she lay on Li Zichen's shoulder, holding him tightly and refusing to get down.
Jiang Liang walked out of the office, "What's going on?"
Su Le smiled and shook his head. "Here are the decoration drawings of two stores. Take a look."
Jiang Liang took it and said, "Come with me to the office and talk."
Everyone followed behind. Walking into the office, Jiang Liang looked at him and thought, "Are you planning to open two stores at once?" Then Su Le also put his position down.
"Yes. Isn't it just about making money as soon as possible so that you can get your money back?" Su Le said with a smile.
Xu Jiaojiao continued, "I'm afraid you'll lose everything."
Jiang Liang laughed heartily. "I can afford the loss, young master. Okay. I'll arrange it as soon as possible." He looked at the girl in Li Zichen's arms, "Who is this child?"
Su Le looked over and said, "My daughter, Li Ningwei, Weiwei, come down and say hello to uncle."
Jiang Liang's eyes widened in shock, repeatedly comparing Li Ningwei with Su Le and Li Zichen. There was no resemblance at all. But then, thinking of Su Fugui's many adopted sons, he suddenly understood.
Li Ningwei looked at Su Le, who waved to her. Li Zichen put her on the ground. Li Ningwei carefully walked to Su Le's side, took her hand, and said softly, "Hello, uncle."
Jiang Liang took out a reunion card from the drawer and handed it to Li Ningwei. "Your name is Li Ningwei, right?"
Li Ningwei nodded, and Su Le stopped Jiang Liang from giving him money, "Don't give money to children."
Li Ningwei also took a few steps back and shook his head. Jiang Liang searched the table for a long time. He couldn't find anything suitable. "When I have time, I'll make you a wooden horse. I'll send it to your home."
Li Ningwei saw Su Le nod, then said, "Okay, thank you uncle."
Su Le said to Jiang Liang, "Please arrange it as soon as possible. I will prepare the staff and supplies so that we can start the business as soon as possible."
Jiang Liang nodded seriously. Su Le led Li Ningwei and the others out.
Xu Jiaojiao said to Su Le, "Let's go get some milk tea. Weiwei has definitely never had it."
Su Le nodded. Children should generally drink less beverages, such as milk tea. However, he didn't have any technology or hard work here. "Let's go see if there are any interviews today. There are 41 people in the store right now, not counting Xu Hu, so 40."
Li Zichen said, "We can put one-third of the people from the supply and marketing cooperative in the supermarket, and transfer one person from each store. That's about right. The supply and marketing cooperative is more familiar with these things and can get started quickly. We won't need to deal with the fruit store, but the milk tea shop and clothing store have too many people, so we can assign two or three people. Isn't Zhang Jing idle at home? Isn't Wang Ming coming here soon? We can make arrangements with them."
Xu Jiaojiao also nodded. Xu Hu didn't expect that Li Zichen had only been here for a day or two and he had already figured out everyone in all the stores.
Li Ningwei tilted her head back to listen to them. Su Le patted her head, "Okay, let's arrange it this way. Brother Hu will go and select the candidates later. Tell them in advance that it should be around next month."
Xu Hu nodded, "Okay."
Xu Hu did not leave. He followed everyone to the milk tea shop, ordered seventeen cups of milk tea, paid and sat aside waiting. After the milk tea came, Xu Hu took fourteen cups and left.
Li Ningwei looked at the milk tea curiously. Li Zichen opened a cup, put in a straw, and handed it to her mouth. She took small sips. "Daddy, drink it quickly. It's delicious. Weiwei has never tasted anything so delicious." He held the milk tea cup to Li Zichen's mouth.
Li Zichen smiled and pointed at the milk tea in Su Le's hand, "Dad and Mom drink together. This cup is for Weiwei."
Li Ningwei took two sips and then held the bottle in his arms without drinking any more. Su Le and the others didn't care either.
Chen Pandi once again appeared in front of the milk tea shop and wandered around. Looking at her little sister, who was wearing beautiful clothes, had a beautiful braid, and had several hairpins on her head, and was holding a milk tea in her hand, she called out from outside the door, "Erniu."
Li Ningwei shuddered, returned the milk tea to Li Zichen, and subconsciously ran to Chen Pandi. He called out timidly, "Sister...sister."
Chen Pandi's eyes flashed with jealousy, "Erniu, go tell them to let your sister work here, okay?"
Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao didn't understand why Li Ningwei suddenly ran away at first, but when they saw Chen Pandi next to Li Ningwei, their faces changed.
Li Ningwei shook his head, and Li Zichen shouted, "Weiwei, come back."
When Li Ningwei heard Li Zichen calling her, she ran towards the milk tea shop and hid behind Li Zichen.
Su Le took Li Ningwei and Xu Jiaojiao to the door together. He squatted down and asked Li Ningwei, "Weiwei, do you want to go back with your sister?"
Li Ningwei shook her head, "I don't want a sister, I want my mother."
Su Le said to Chen Pandi, "Did you hear that? Don't come to her under any pretext next time. I won't be so easy to talk to next time."
Xu Jiaojiao snorted coldly, "Why don't you get out of here?"
Chen Pandi glared at Li Ningwei and left unwillingly.
Xu Jiaojiao said to Li Ningwei, "Weiwei, you have to remember that you don't have any brothers or sisters. Don't call her sister anymore. You have a father, a mother, a godmother, a godfather, grandparents, and uncles. Got it?"
Li Ningwei nodded, "I understand, godmother."
Xu Jiaojiao bought six more cups of milk tea and returned with Su Le and his family. They took a detour to bring one for Xia Le, who was embroidering tiger-head shoes.
"Weiwei, do you like it?" It wasn't fixed yet, so he held it up and said to Li Ningwei.
Li Ningwei nodded, "I like it. Thank you, grandma."
Su Le also took a look at the embroidery on the scene. The shoes were especially well-made, as they were repaired very quickly and there were no flaws.
They returned to the Su family compound. Xu Jiaojiao distributed milk tea to everyone. Li Zichen cooked for everyone. Su Le took some children's toys from the study and took out a jumping frog and a bamboo dragonfly for Li Ningwei to play with.
Su Fugui and Xu Sheng played along, and Li Ningwei's clear laughter echoed in everyone's ears.
Xu Jiaojiao said to Su Le, "I'm afraid Weiwei will be spoiled like a little princess in the future."
Su Le also smiled at them. "Aren't you a little princess too? If I have a daughter in the future, I will pamper her, just like I pamper Weiwei. Without bias."
Xu Jiaojiao's mind flashed with Su Xiaofang's small face. The little bald head looked so different that she laughed. "Just now I suddenly thought that my daughter would look like your brother in the future, the little bald head. Hahaha."
Su Le suddenly had a picture. He laughed out loud. "That's hilarious. Don't ever shave your daughter's head. I'm afraid I'll laugh every time I see it. Hahaha, that picture..."
