In just half a day, Aunt Zhao had become familiar with taking care of children and various housework, and she got along well with Gao Hongmian.
Shen Xiaobei can basically just focus on his own thing.
That afternoon, she locked herself in her room and wrote a short article, which she planned to submit to the People's Daily the next day.
In the evening, I started writing the manuscript.
Let these two things go hand in hand and don't fall behind.
Shen Xiaobei said that Gao Hongmian and Duan Donglin would not pay a penny for Aunt Zhao's salary, and most of the things in the house were bought by Shen Xiaobei, so Gao Hongmian also cooperated with her.
Whenever she said she wanted to go into the room to write, she and Aunt Zhao would take care of the children and not let them disturb her.
Aunt Zhao also had a very good impression of Shen Xiaobei as her boss.
She is beautiful and has given birth to such handsome and cute twin sons. Her position in marriage should be very stable.
But she is still so diligent and hardworking. She is preparing for the college entrance examination and buries herself in writing articles whenever she has free time.
Gao Hongmian said that she earned more money from writing articles than a rural male worker.
Where can I find such a capable and virtuous daughter-in-law?
Although Aunt Zhao had only met Duan Xichuan once, she was very happy for him and thought he was really lucky to have found such a good wife.
Then think about my two sons and the wives they'll find...
Alas, when you compare yourself to others, you really can’t compare yourself to others.
Aunt Zhao knew that her two sons and two daughters-in-law were unreliable, so she was even more determined. As long as Shen Xiaobei didn't drive her away, she would stay with her wholeheartedly.
After she worked here for a day, Gao Hongmian also secretly talked to Shen Xiaobei about it.
"Xiaobei, Aunt Zhao is really nice. Not only is she good at housework, but she also cooks delicious meals. The key is that you can tell that she really likes us children."
"That's good. The person Aunt Feng introduced must be right."
"You must have connections. If I were to find a nanny, I'd be completely clueless. I don't know what kind of person I'd find."
"Sister-in-law, you just arrived in Beijing and you're not familiar with the city. Once you've been here for a while and met more people, you won't be so clueless."
"Xiaobei, I came to Jing City with you and Donglin, but I don't want to just take care of the kids. I still want to pick up the clothes-making business as soon as possible."
"We are a family of four living here now. Donglin is studying and can't make any money. We can't just sit back and enjoy the savings or rely entirely on you and Xichuan. We still have to rely on ourselves.
"Sister-in-law, you can pick up the business of making clothes, but we need to be familiar with it, and know where to set up stalls and what styles are popular. Otherwise, if you work hard to make clothes but can't sell many, that will be worrying."
"How about this? Sister-in-law, how about we make some cold dishes and sell them right in front of our house or nearby? This way it will be more convenient and we can make money faster."
"Okay, Xiaobei, I'll listen to you. As long as I have something to do and can earn some money, I'll be satisfied!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, let's get started tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Shen Xiaobei and Gao Hongmian went to the farmers' market together and bought some meat and vegetables. After returning, they immediately started washing and cutting them.
In the morning, they set up a table opposite the courtyard gate, wrote a sign, and set up the cold dish stall.
At first, not many people bought it, because there were only a limited number of people passing by here. However, Shen Xiaobei tried to open his mouth and shouted a few times: “Cold dishes for sale, fresh and delicious cold dishes!”
After a while, passers-by came to take a look and the business opened successfully.
Gao Hongmian said excitedly, "Xiaobei, there are actually people buying it even though it's on the doorstep!"
"Of course. This is a residential area with a lot of people living here. As long as we spread the word, we can always sell some every day. Anyway, you can't make a lot of money from this, but you can still make a little money."
"The children are still so young, especially Qing'en, who can't even walk. As long as I can make a little money, my sister-in-law will be very happy!"
"Well, sister-in-law, you can do this for now. When the children are older, I will definitely think of other ways so that you can have a decent living here."
"Xiaobei, you're so kind to me. If you weren't here, I wouldn't dare to imagine what life would be like for me and my child here."
"Sister-in-law, we are a family, don't say two words. Aren't you good to me? If you weren't here, I don't know what would happen to Shui En, Mu En and me!"
Shen Xiaobei already had some ideas in his mind.
She and Duan Donglin have their own books to read, and their lives in the next four years will definitely be fulfilling and meaningful. The only thing is Gao Hongmian, who is a housewife.
She has been a housewife herself, so she never looks down on this group.
But it was precisely because she had been a housewife herself that Shen Xiaobei knew very well what a housewife really wanted.
Moreover, Gao Hongmian is also a woman with some career ambitions. For her, simply raising a child here for four years would definitely be a sacrifice.
She didn't want her to feel that she was sacrificing herself for Duan Donglin, her, and their four children.
Once people develop the mentality of sacrificing for those around them, over time, there will inevitably be resentment and estrangement between them.
Shen Xiaobei doesn't want such a day to come.
She had decided that this cold dish stall was just a temporary one. Once it opened, she would help Gao Hongmian own her own shop in Jing City.
Help her to develop the children's clothing business that she is good at and likes in a proper way, rather than just setting up a small stall casually.
