Mr. He was very unhappy. Each person would receive a reward of 100 yuan, which would add up to 400 yuan in rewards!

Four hundred yuan is almost half a month's salary for some people.

In all the years he's been working away from home, he's never seen a boss give bonuses to his employees. Bonuses? Paying wages on time and not deducting wages is already considered good.

She's so generous!

Mr. He was unhappy, but He Wenlin had already said those words, so he couldn't very well refuse now.

Thinking that later, I would have a good talk with He Wenlin and it would be best to hand over the money to him to manage. If the money is in her hands, she will squander it sooner or later.

There were many lunchbox orders today, so He Wenlin started cooking at 10 a.m.

Mr. He followed her the whole time and cooperated with her, which made him look a bit like an apprentice.

He Wenlin also told her father some details that only those who have actually done it can discover, so that he could avoid taking detours.

At 11:55, all the pre-ordered boxed meals had been packed up, and He Wenlin asked Ruan Lingfeng to deliver them.

Since He's father doesn't know how to stir-fry rice noodles, the task of stir-frying rice noodles and fried rice with eggs still falls to her and Lin Fei.

Everyone else took their positions, and another tense and busy forty minutes passed.

At 12:40, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down together to prepare for lunch.

"Linlin, this is the list and money from Peng Liang at the shirt factory. He said he wants to order ten more boxed lunches this afternoon, and ten more servings of glutinous rice for tomorrow morning."

When Ruan Lingfeng returned after delivering the goods, it was the busiest time at the store, so he hadn't given He Wenlin the money and the order list then. Now that he was done with the delivery, he handed the money and the order to He Wenlin.

In his eyes, He Wenlin was the boss, so he always reported directly to He Wenlin.

He Wenlin took the order and the money, calculated it, and the amount matched.

Ruan Lingfeng is a very reliable person.

"Linlin, we can recruit more salespeople from other factories," suggested Mrs. He. "That way, we can get more orders every day."

“It is possible, but I’m the only chef right now, how can I manage?” He Wenlin said.

Aunt He: "In our hometown, when people hold weddings or funerals, they only have one chef. How can they manage to keep up?"

“How can this be the same? They don’t need to pack the food, but we do. We have to write a reservation, collect money, and give change. They only cook one meal a day, while we cook so many. There’s no comparison at all,” He Wenlin said. “When Grandma and my second brother come, Dad and my second brother will be able to cook too. We can develop more sales staff in the future, and then we can increase production. Let’s take it one step at a time.”

You can't get fat in one bite.

In this area, and in Waishan Village, there will be more and more factories in the future, and He Wenlin will also open branch stores.

"After we finish eating, we'll move. Lin Fei, you can still live here. Shan Shan, let's move there. Mom, don't give up your dorm room yet, you can use it as your nap room."

Since Aunt He didn't resign, she can continue to live in this single dormitory room.

After the meal, He Ma and Xiao Min cleaned up the dishes, while He Wenlin soaked two bowls of vermicelli to prepare for the afternoon's orders before returning to her dormitory to retrieve her luggage.

Actually, I didn't have much luggage.

He Wenlin and He Shan had just arrived in Shaocheng, so they didn't have much stuff. Their parents and younger brother had been there a little longer, but their parents lived in the dormitory and didn't get much rest. Plus, they were frugal, so they didn't have much stuff either.

We have a tricycle at home, so one trip is all it takes.

"Linlin, Qianqian, are you moving dorms?" He Qian asked when she saw He Wenlin and He Shan packing their things.

Since He Xing started making boxed lunches, they haven't spoken much, even though they live in the same dormitory.

He Wenlin frankly admitted: "I rented a place outside and won't be living here anymore. Besides, I get up so early, which will disturb everyone's rest."

He Qian felt terrible. They came here together and were childhood friends who grew up together, but now she felt abandoned and isolated.

There weren't many items, so they were packed up quickly.

Ruan Lingfeng took the initiative to ride his tricycle and transport the goods there first.

Although He's mother was in a hurry to go to work, she refrained from doing so and went to work first, even though she really wanted to go with He Wenlin to see the apartment she rented.

Upon arriving at the newly rented house, He's father, Ruan Lingfeng, and Lin Fei unloaded the goods, while He Wenlin, He Shan, the younger brother, and Ruan Min cleaned up.

The landlady, Aunt Zhang, is very clean, so the house is actually quite well-maintained. When they moved in, they only needed to wipe off some dust.

The room closest to the bathroom was assigned to the younger brother, because other rooms had to pass through this room to use the toilet, so it wasn't suitable for He's parents to live here, and He Wenlin and He Shan were also grown up, so it wasn't appropriate for them to live here either.

He Wenlin and He Shan lived in the large room next to him, while He's parents lived in the small room next to him. The remaining large room was used as the living room.

However, we still need to buy a bed for the family because Grandma is coming and will need to sleep there. My second brother is coming, so he can just sleep with Lin Fei.

"You moved in so quickly!" said Aunt Zhang, the landlady.

"Dad, give Aunt Zhang 460 yuan. I didn't have enough money on me before, so I only gave her 100 yuan. The rent is paid one month in advance with a deposit, so I still owe 280 yuan for the deposit and 180 yuan for the rent."

He Wenlin originally planned to use today's revenue to pay for this, but she didn't expect her father to be so quick and pocket the more than 500 yuan from the morning.

"You have money?" Dad didn't want to give her the money; he wanted to save it and dig out all the money from his daughter.

"I deposited all my money yesterday, and I only have a little change in my bag today, not enough to pay this amount."

He Wenlin certainly had the money; the money that the Peng family uncle and nephew had given her last night was still on her.

Grandma is coming, and He Wenlin needs to buy a bed tonight. She also promised to buy gold jewelry for Grandma. She bought it for Grandma, but she can't not buy it for Mom. Grandma and Mom both have gold, but Dad doesn't, so it still won't work. Therefore, every penny she has is useful.

Mr. He had no choice but to give the money.

It's summer now, and the bed is covered with a straw mat, so we were settled in quickly.

At 2:15, everyone returned to the store, and He Wenlin gave everyone an ice pop to cool them down.

Then I arranged the work for the afternoon.

This afternoon's boxed lunch A consisted of stir-fried shredded sweet potato, minced meat with pickled green beans, and stir-fried eggs with chili peppers.

Meal box B consists of stir-fried shredded jicama, minced meat with pickled cowpeas, and stir-fried mushrooms with meat.

Hongda Garment Factory is not working overtime this afternoon; they won't be finishing until 6 PM. So, not all the orders will be concentrated at one time, making their work relatively easier.

At 5:20, all the orders for the shirt factory were ready.

Ruan Lingfeng quickly rode his bicycle to deliver it.

At 5:30, He's father and He Shan went outside to distribute meals because people from the Bosi Garment Factory were coming.

The younger brother and Ruan Min continued to pack Hongda's orders.
