Chapter 363
After expressing her envy, she encouraged herself and said, "I will sell more mung bean paste tomorrow!"
Zhong Lan and Ye Fuyue both laughed.
Ye Fuyue said, "Not bad! Our profit today has exceeded ten yuan!"
Zhong Lan and Cui Li were delighted. Zhong Lan asked her, "Fu Yue, should I make more mung bean cakes to sell tomorrow?"
Ye Fuyue said, "We can make a little more, but not too much. Mung bean cakes are expensive, so fewer people will be willing to buy them. We can only sell them around the neighborhood with a basket on our backs, so we can't go far. Our customer base is limited. And it's hot now. If we make too much and can't sell it all, it will definitely go bad and be wasted."
"Mung bean cakes are not like mung bean paste. Mung bean paste is cheap and can be sold in large quantities, but mung bean cakes cannot be sold in large quantities. Moreover, if the mung bean paste is not sold out, the three of us can split it up and take it back to our families to drink without feeling too bad. But mung bean cakes are expensive. If they can't be sold out, we three will have to digest them ourselves, which would be a shame."
Zhong Lan nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll do a little more tomorrow."
…
Zhong Lan and Cui Li went out every day, which attracted the attention of some aunts, Aunt Yue being one of them.
When Auntie Yue saw Zhong Lan and Cui Li running out of the compound together early in the morning, she asked them in a loud voice, "Zhong Lan, Cui Li, where are you two going?"
"Let's go buy some groceries and take a walk around the area." Zhong Lan said with a smile.
After saying that, she pulled Cui Li and walked away quickly.
Aunt Yue muttered in disbelief, "Do you need to buy groceries every day? Do you need to spend the whole morning buying groceries?"
However, although Aunt Yue was curious, she didn't care too much.
She turned her head and saw her daughter-in-law Sufen carrying out a basin of dirty clothes and preparing to wash them. A look of relief appeared on her face.
This lazy daughter-in-law finally has a chance to be diligent.
Aunt Yue came into the room and saw Yue Xun still lying on the bed in the corner of the main room. She said angrily, "Yue Xun, it's already late. It's time to get up."
Yue Xun had actually woken up a long time ago, but there was nothing to do, so he just stayed in bed.
He said lazily: "Why get up? I don't have any work to go to."
After returning from the countryside, Yue Xun also thought about finding a job. However, jobs were hard to come by, and with so many educated youth returning from the countryside, it was even harder to find work. Not to mention his family couldn't afford to buy him a job, even if they had the money, it would still be difficult to find one.
Therefore, Yue Xun went from being excited about returning to his hometown at the beginning to being lazy and listless because he had nothing to do all day.
Aunt Yue sighed.
She was also worried about Yue Xun's job. But there was nothing she could do. The family simply couldn't afford to pay for Yue Xun's job.
"Do you want to take the college entrance examination like Shen Yao and Chen Kang? I heard that students in college now get paid every month, which is no worse than working. After graduating from college, you can be assigned a job." Aunt Yue suggested.
"Mom, you know my grades in school. I only attended elementary school and didn't even finish junior high school. How could I possibly get into college?" Yue Xun said.
"Just give it a try. You're just sitting around at home doing nothing anyway, so you..."
Yue Xun interrupted Aunt Yue unhappily, "Mom, what do you mean by that? I've only been home for a short time, and you're already complaining about me not doing anything important all day? I've been in the countryside for seven or eight years, and every day there's endless farm work to do. How long have I been idle now, and you're complaining about me?"
"Mom, that's not what I meant. How could I dislike you? I just want to find a way out for you." Aunt Yue said quickly.
"Hmph, I think you just can't stand seeing me sitting idle at home. You wish I could do a job like Yue Cai to make you proud. If I hadn't gone to the countryside, the driver's job might not have gotten Yue Cai's turn." Yue Xun frowned.
Aunt Yue felt very uncomfortable when she heard Yue Xun talking about this again.
Although Yue Xun had to go to the countryside due to policy reasons, Aunt Yue felt that the family really owed Yue Xun.
Now, Yue Cai had a good job and even a wife. But Yue Xun, who was five or six years older than Yue Cai, had no job, no wife, and no one willing to find a match. It was his family that was holding Yue Xun back.
Aunt Yue felt bad and stopped talking to Yue Xun. She just said, "Su Fen is washing clothes. See if there is anything you need Su Fen to wash for you."
After saying that, she got up and went to the back room.
Yue Xun glanced at Sufen's back as she washed clothes, then came to Sufen with his dirty clothes.
He handed his dirty clothes to Sufen: "Sister-in-law, help me wash them."
Sufen took the dirty clothes. When she saw the panties on top, the panties under her hands seemed to be hot and her face turned red.
She quickly rubbed Yue Xun's dirty clothes into the basin and covered Yue Xun's pants with other clothes.
Yue Xun looked at Sufen's blushing face and felt a little better.
"Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. You are so hardworking." Yue Xun deliberately praised her.
Sufen rubbed the clothes in her hands with a washboard, buried her head, and ignored him.
Yue Xun looked at Sufen's red face again and went into the house.
…
A few days later, the postman came to the compound and delivered Shen Yao's admission letter.
The moment they received the admission letter, Shen Yao and his family felt relieved.
"We have another college student in our family! You are all so amazing and have brought honor to our Shen family!" Chen Guifeng was overjoyed.
"I told you that you would definitely be admitted." Ye Fuyue smiled proudly.
Shen Yao nodded happily.
"Dad, Dad, are you going to college too?" Haohao and Ranran asked.
"Yes." Shen Yao said, touching his two sons' heads.
"Wow, Dad, you're awesome! Just as awesome as Mom!"
Haohao and Ranran started praising him immediately, which made everyone laugh.
"Dad, do you and Mom go to the same school?" Haohao asked.
"No, we go to different schools." Shen Yao said.
Ranran sighed in disappointment, "What a pity. If we went to the same school, Mom and Dad would be able to see each other every day."
Ye Fuyue smiled and said, "If Dad goes to school, you won't be able to see him every day like you do now."
"Ah?" The two little guys realized this at this moment, and looked as if the sky was about to fall.
Haohao quickly adjusted his expression and said, "It's okay. Dad goes to school for a better life. He will definitely come back to see us as soon as he has time, just like Mom."
Ranran followed Zheng and nodded.
Shen Yao smiled and said, "Yes, Dad will definitely come back to see you as soon as he has time."
Chen Guifeng felt very relieved when she saw the loving mother and filial son in front of her.
She said to Shen Shun, "Next year it will be your turn to take the college entrance examination. Your eldest brother, second brother, and second sister-in-law have all been admitted to such excellent universities. Don't hold our family back."
