Zhou Kai pulled at his collar for a long time before he gritted his teeth, took out the purse from his collar, opened the bag, and poured out the money inside.

After counting, he found only 171 yuan. He worked so hard but couldn't even earn enough for a month's food expenses. When would Gao Fei be able to earn enough for a year's food expenses?

He counted out a hundred yuan, thought for a while, counted out another fifty yuan, and handed it to Gao Fei, "Here, brother, I'll lend you this money, and you should save your own money well. Oh, it's so hard to make money. I'm exhausted, and I don't even have two hundred yuan."

Gao Fei really had no intention of borrowing money. He would earn as much as he could. However, seeing the look in his cousin's eyes, he could only accept it. "So, you won't spend it?"

"Don't I still have 21 yuan? I'll get today's 21 yuan after get off work tonight, so 42 yuan is enough for me to play with. I can still bear it and play bumper cars for a few minutes, so that my hard-earned money won't be taken away by my cousin again."

Zhou Xiang slapped him again and said, "Okay, when you go to play, I'll ask Lu Jin to change your time and double your salary, how about that?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, cousin!"

It wasn't easy! She finally got to hear this idiot's thanks. If she hadn't seen him spend most of his money on the trip for his good friend, she wouldn't have given him this discount!

While Zhou Kai was not paying attention, Gao Fei gave the money to his cousin. Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, then accepted it. Gao Fei didn't want to owe debts, and he couldn't force others to borrow money. As long as he could cheat Zhou Kai's money, it would be fine.

After lunch, Zhou Xiang gave Aunt Wang a day off and gave her a lot of bacon, dried fish and steamed buns. Aunt Wang received her wages with a smile, picked up her things and went on vacation.

Just as Aunt Wang left, Zhang Jing arrived with her husband and children. Zhou Xiang was shocked to see Zhang Jing's appearance, "How did you become like this?"

Zhang Jing smiled. "It's been exposed to the sun from working on the construction site. How can I cover it up in a short time? This basket contains sweet potato candy and vermicelli. I finished it late this year because I have a lot of things to do at home."

"No need, just don't endure it! It's quite time-consuming."

"It doesn't matter. I have to make some sugar to serve to the guests."

"Your house is still like that?"

Zhang Jing sighed and nodded, "It's still the same. Big brother listens too much to Big Sister-in-law and doesn't care about the family at all."

Who else could it be? He had no real skills, couldn't support his poor family, and had two younger brothers who only knew how to farm. "Why don't your two younger brothers go out to work?"

"I don't have anyone to guide me, so I don't dare go out. The factory doesn't hire people individually, they recruit people from my hometown in waves."

Zhou didn't want to continue the topic. "How was your year? Did you save a lot of money?"

Zhang Jing nodded. "Yes! The two of us basically make 600 yuan a month, so we can save at least 400 yuan."

"Well! Just do what you can. That hotel will only be around for a little over a year. When there's no work, you'll disband."

Zhang Jing nodded, then hesitated for a long time before asking, "Can I sell my sweet potato candy in the food court?"

"Are Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang here?"

"Yes."

Zhou Xiang sighed, are children from poor families spoiled too much?

"Sure, by the way, ask Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang to learn how to make candied haws. The main ingredients are candied haws, and sweet potato candy, peanut candy, and sesame candy are supplemented. After all, sweet potato candy doesn't taste right in the summer.

Tanghulu can be made not only from hawthorn, but also from orange slices, grapes and small yam beans. The core of hawthorn is the best.

You can also make a smaller sweet potato oven and roast the sweet potatoes. In short, your family's selling point is sugar and sweet potatoes, so don't repeat yourself."

Zhang Jing nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll discuss it with my parents."

After giving the return gifts and red envelopes, Zhang Jing and her family said goodbye.

Zhou Xiang shook her head, not thinking about the people and things that hadn't changed in the past ten years. Wasn't it the same in her family's past life? She picked up a piece of charred meat and started eating.

"Zhou Nian, come and try this candy. An Wen, my aunt, I'm here to eat candy."

Everyone came to greet her, including Professor Chu. Zhou wanted to stop her aunt from handing the teacher the sweet potato candy, "Teacher, this is too sticky. You can try the sesame and peanut candy instead."

Professor Chu waved his hand and said, "I want to try the sweet potato candy. I ate it once when I was a child. I want to try it again. Is it the same taste?"

Jiang Weihua quickly told the teacher about how terrible the sweet potato candy was that it stuck to your teeth. Professor Chu picked up a small piece and said, "I'll try to get a feel for it myself."

Guo Jia and her three sisters stood aside, just watching but not taking anything. Zhou Xiang waved to her.

"Here, give them to the three sisters. Don't you see that my teacher is already in her sixties and still wants to revisit the candy she had as a child? You should also let them have a deep impression of the candy they had as children in the future."

Guo Jia then pulled the eldest and youngest over, followed by Guo Yao and Guo Mei. The way they stared at Tang made Zhou Xiang laugh. She was like this when she was a child. The reason she was fat before she was five was because she always grabbed the food from her third brother and second sister.

Old Mrs. Liu always said that her food was too delicious and she disliked her very much. Because she grabbed all the food, Old Mrs. Liu had to take another portion for her third brother and second sister.

She turned around and went into the kitchen, took out a bowl, and chopped half a piece of sweet potato candy with a kitchen knife, and pushed it into the bowl. Half a bowl was left.

"Take it, eat it slowly. It will satisfy your craving if you eat too much at once."

Guo Xuehua was shocked, "How can you eat so much candy at once?"

"There are four of them! Don't worry about them. Children's stomachs are bottomless pits. They grow and consume food quickly. When they are hungry, don't restrict them. Don't let them eat the newly cooked food first. Let them eat the leftovers.

Guo Jia, don't be like your mother. My sisters are hungry. Even if you bake some cold steamed buns and break them into pieces for each of us to eat, it's fine. When I was little and couldn't find anything to eat, I even ate raw onions! Bring it here."
