"Third sister-in-law, you're too kind. You've prepared so many dishes for me." As soon as Xu Mingjiang entered the house, he saw a large table of food. He was also hungry and his mouth was watering.

"Since you and Xiaowan are both here today, let's all have a good meal together. Don't stand there, sit down and have a couple of drinks with your third brother," Zhang Xuemei said with a smile.

Xu Mingjiang nodded, quickly washed his hands at the tap outside, and then went straight to the table to cook. Xu Mingwan had already set out the bowls and chopsticks.

"Eat some vegetables first. The rice is in the pot. Help yourself if you want some!" Zhang Xuemei, heavily pregnant, sat down in the only chair with a backrest in the house.

"Yes, Xiao Jiang and Xiao Wan, from now on you should treat each other like you're at home. We siblings are the closest people here, right?"

Xu Minghan looked at Xu Mingjiang and the other person and spoke seriously.

It's customary here that once someone starts earning money, they'll bring their siblings along, and that's what he thought too.

Although he hasn't made a lot of money yet, he already has a good plan in mind. He knows that his own strength is limited, but with the help of Xiao Wan and Xiao Jiang, he believes he will earn more and more money.

"Don't worry, Third Brother! I'll definitely do my best for you, right, Little Brother?" Xu Mingwan said, glancing at Xu Mingjiang.

Xu Mingjiang was too embarrassed to say that he was only there to help out for a few days and would be going back home afterward.

Seeing the eager looks he was getting, he could only smile and nod.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Upon hearing this, Xu Minghan patted him on the shoulder happily, "Alright, Xiao Jiang, you and I will set up the stall together tomorrow morning, and Xiao Wan can come back at noon. I'll show you how your third brother makes money."

"Alright, eat up, the food's getting cold," Zhang Xuemei urged them as they chatted animatedly but barely touched their food.

"Delicious! These are duck feet? They smell so good. They go perfectly with wine. Third sister-in-law, did you make this? My third brother doesn't have this skill."

Xu Mingjiang took a bite of a duck foot, and the first bite was numbing and spicy, making you want to take a second bite. It was quite satisfying.

"You guessed it right, it's your third sister-in-law's cooking. Do you think it would be okay to sell it?"

"That'll definitely work. Those who love to drink can drink from dusk till dawn with this."

Xu Mingjiang pointed exaggeratedly at the duck products on the table and said.

"So, I'm planning to set up a stall at the night market in a few days once the car is ready. Xiao Jiang, why don't you come with me? I'm going to pay you guys 220 a month, how about that, okay?"

Xu Minghan also stated his plan directly: now that everyone is in place, it's time to get started.

Xu Mingjiang stopped eating the duck neck, unsure how to refuse.

The temptation of 220 yuan a month was too great for him; he simply couldn't refuse!

Xu Minghan pretended not to see his hesitation and urged them to eat. Since he hadn't refused them outright, he decided to just pretend he didn't know anything.

For several days in a row, Xu Mingwan and Xu Mingjiang went to set up the stall together. From being flustered at first to becoming more and more adept later on, the two quickly adapted to the rhythm.

They worked for three days straight, and not only did the supply increase, but the speed also improved significantly. Everyone praised the boss for his foresight, saying that they wouldn't have to wait so long anymore.

"Xiao Jiang, you and Xiao Wan ride your bikes back first. I need to go pick up the stall cart we ordered earlier."

Xu Minghan packed up everything at the noodle stall and put it in the car, then gave instructions to his two younger siblings.

"Okay, Third Brother, you go ahead! I know the way!"

Xu Mingjiang has had a very fulfilling few days. He has found that he might prefer his current job to working in a factory.

Zhang Xuemei was preparing lunch at home, and they could eat as soon as they got back.

She didn't know if it was because she had been taking too many supplements this month, but her belly was getting bigger and bigger. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't her due date yet, she would have thought she was about to give birth.

Judging by the time, I should be giving birth in less than a month. I wonder if we'll be born on the same day again!

As July arrived and the weather grew hotter, Xu Minghan and his fellow vendors' stall business flourished.

There are now several more food stalls outside the factory, offering a wider variety of food, which has affected their business to some extent.

However, among all these restaurants, theirs is still the most popular and has the most regular customers. After all, their food is delicious, their service is good, and their staff are generous. Unlike other restaurants, they don't complain about adding a little extra pickled vegetables.

Then there's the night market area, and you know what, business there is really good.

In addition to various duck products, Xu Minghan also added vegetables such as potatoes, kelp knots, lotus root, and bok choy.

Of course, those who are willing to spend money are the single young men and women. They work and earn money, and no one cares about them. They come here as soon as they smell the aroma. They always sell out very early, which makes the other vendors very envious. They are making sarcastic remarks about them.

Xu Mingjiang has been here for a week. He hasn't officially resigned from the factory yet, and he hasn't received his month's salary. But he can't bear to take a day off.

Yes, that's right, he decided to stick with Third Brother after all.

So I called the factory and asked Yao Qinglin to answer the phone.

"Hey, it's Mingjiang! Are you coming back? The landlady was asking the other day why you hadn't returned yet! Are you coming back today? Should I pick you up at the station?"

When Yao Qinglin received Xu Mingjiang's call, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that Xu was coming back.

He and He Qian were only in the ambiguous stage. If Xu Mingjiang came back, he probably wouldn't have anything to do with it anymore.

"No, no. By the way, when I left, didn't I ask you to give He Qian a note? Did she say anything?"

At that time, fearing that his third sister-in-law's location would be exposed, Xu Mingjiang didn't send any letters or make any phone calls to He Qian, which now seems quite inappropriate.

When Yao Qinglin heard him mention He Qian, his heart tightened. Thinking of the He family's factory, house, and the young and beautiful He Qian, he made up his mind and replied directly, "Mingjiang, there's something I need to tell you. I gave the note to He Qian for you, but she was very angry that you left."

"It's understandable that she's angry; it was definitely my fault, I..."

Xu Mingjiang was about to say something when Yao Qinglin on the other end of the phone immediately interrupted him.

"Mingjiang, there's something else I haven't told you. He Qian has been trying to get closer to me lately, and her parents keep inviting me over for meals. I know you..."

Xu Mingjiang didn't hear what Yao Qinglin said after that. When he came to his senses, he heard Yao Qinglin calling his name on the phone.

He swallowed hard, feeling a tightness in his throat. He cleared his throat and replied, "I'm here, I'm listening! Congratulations, good things are just around the corner!"

Yao Qinglin glanced outside, suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth, and pretended to say, "Mingjiang, you won't blame me, will you? You know, He Qian is young and beautiful, it's hard for me to refuse her."
