Transmigrated to the 1960s, Li Chu only wanted to lay low and live a safe, peaceful life.
..."Qiu Nan, what brings you here?" Qin Huairu realized she had said the wrong thing as soon as she finished speaking, and quickly apologized.
"Oh dear, that's not what I meant. I just really didn't expect you to come."
"Sister Qin, I heard from Li Chu that you went to see him for a medical appointment this morning, so I came to check on you."
"Quickly, please come in. Xiao Dang, get some water for your Aunt Ding."
"Okay, Mom."
Ding Qiunan couldn't remember exactly how many years it had been since she last entered this house.
The room had changed drastically. She looked around and couldn't find a single familiar trace.
Aunt Ding
A voice pulled her back to reality. Ding Qiunan smiled as she looked at the young woman standing in the room, holding a bowl in her hand.
"You mean locust flowers? Why are you only eating now?"
"Qiu Nan, please sit down first." Qin Huairu, who was standing next to her, brought over a small stool and placed it next to her legs.
After Ding Qiunan sat down, she said, "There was some odd jobs at the neighborhood committee today, so she went to help out and came back late."
"Aunt Ding, please have some water."
Xiao Dang placed a teacup on the small table in front of Ding Qiunan.
"Thank you, Xiao Dang."
As soon as she finished speaking, an old voice came from the inner room.
"Huai Ru, who's here?" As the voice spoke, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and a trembling figure slowly walked out, supporting himself on the door frame.
Qin Huairu, who had just sat down, quickly stood up and went over.
"Mom, Qiu Nan is here."
"who?"
Ding Qiunan stood up at this moment and raised her voice, saying, "Aunt Jia, it's me, Ding Qiunan."
"ah?"
As her daughter-in-law helped her sit down on the bed in the outer room, Aunt Jia stopped when she heard the name. She straightened up again and looked over through the yellowish light.
Although Aunt Jia's health wasn't very good, her eyesight was still excellent. After seeing Ding Qiunan clearly, the old lady's face was filled with smiles.
"Qiu Nan, it's been so long since I've seen you. Please have a seat."
After she finished speaking, she looked you over carefully again: "You're still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."
“Aunt Jia, I’m over forty years old. How could I not change? I’m getting old too.”
Hearing this, Huaihua, who had just sat down to eat again, looked up in surprise.
She didn't know Ding Qiunan at all; she only knew that there was such a family in the front yard when she was a child, but they had moved away long ago.
I saw them a couple more times after that, but I didn't think much of it.
She had been calling Aunt Ding the same way her sister had, but she never imagined that the woman in front of her, who looked to be about the same age as her, was actually over forty.
She glanced at Ding Qiunan discreetly, then turned to look at her sister sitting next to her.
Xiao Dang seemed to understand her sister's gaze and nodded gently.
After chatting with Aunt Jia for a few more minutes, Ding Qiunan turned to Qin Huairu and told her the purpose of her visit.
"Sister Qin, Xiao Dang and Huaihua don't have stable jobs yet, right?"
"No," Qin Huairu shook her head, looking at Ding Qiunan with some doubt.
Upon hearing their names mentioned, both Xiao Dang and Huaihua looked over.
"It's like this, Sister Qin," Ding Qiunan said after organizing her thoughts, "Xu Damao owns a restaurant, you know that?"
"I know." Qin Huairu had already vaguely guessed what was going on, and her heart was pounding wildly.
The meaning was quite clear. All the women in the Jia family, whether it was Aunt Jia sitting by the bed, or Xiao Dang and Huaihua, understood the meaning of these words, and their faces clearly showed a hint of excitement.
Ding Qiunan didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "I told Xiao'e before I came here that the two children should go over before 10 a.m. tomorrow. If they are willing, they can work there first."
Xiao'e told me that the first month's salary was thirty yuan. After a month, if you were willing to continue working, and she thought you were good and wanted to keep you, the salary would increase to sixty yuan. However, she couldn't possibly issue those receipts or anything like that.
As for what Lou Xiao'e told her about getting a raise after working for a full year, she didn't mention it. She said she'd leave that to the boss to talk about; she just said a basic salary would suffice.
The four women of the Jia family were almost knocked unconscious by the impact, and they couldn't hear anything about whether they wanted to or not.
The first month's rent was thirty yuan, and if it goes up to sixty yuan later, that'll be enough to keep them busy for half a day.
Seeing the four women sitting there in a daze, Ding Qiunan coughed helplessly, which finally brought their attention back.
Qin Huairu said somewhat surprisedly, "Qiu Nan, I'm sorry."
"fine"
"Qiu Nan, Qiu Nan, you're not making fun of me, this old lady, are you?" Aunt Jia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up, supporting herself on the edge of the bed, wanting to come over and ask her clearly.
Shocked by what she had just said, Xiao Dang and Huaihua blushed and quickly stood up and went over to help their grandmother.
The two of them were still focused on Ding Qiunan, wondering if they had misheard.
"Aunt Jia, why would I tease you? Just send the two kids over tomorrow morning and you'll see."
"Mom, what are you saying? Qiu Nan isn't just bored and coming here to make fun of us."
It's no wonder this family looks like this. Qin Huairu has been working for many years, twenty years, and her current salary is only a little over forty.
Xiao Dang and Huaihua can earn thirty yuan in the first month if they are willing to go, and sixty yuan after a month.
To be honest, this amount of money is astronomical for their family.
Although they don't give out tickets there, you can still buy some at the pigeon market if you have the money.
"Sister Qin, what's your attitude? Are Xiao Dang and Huaihua willing to go?"
"Of course I'm willing," Qin Huairu blurted out excitedly.
The two sisters, who were supporting their grandmother as she stood there, nodded vigorously.
Only a fool wouldn't want such a good thing.
"They dare not disagree?" Aunt Jia said domineeringly, as if she would start a fight if they didn't agree.

"Grandma, my sister and I both want to go."
Qin Huairu, who had been quite excited, suddenly calmed down. Without hesitation, she stood up, kicked away the small stool she was sitting on, knelt down, and prepared to kowtow.
Fortunately, Ding Qiunan reacted quickly and reached out to pull her back, preventing her head from hitting the ground.
"Sister Qin, what are you doing?"
"Qiu Nan, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to the Li family, I'm not human." Qin Huairu cried as she spoke.
