Chapter 446
The three kids also praised him politely: "Uncle is really awesome!"
Ranran: "Uncle is the best!"
Qiqi: "I like the toys made by my uncle the most."
Chen Shun was so flattered by the three little kids that he couldn't tell east from west.
…
When Chen Guifeng told Ye Fuyue about this, she was helping Ye Fuyue and the others make sweet soup in Xiaoyue's bun shop.
Ye Fuyue laughed heartily when she heard this, but Chen Guifeng looked worried.
"I don't think Shen Shun is worried at all about not passing the exam. He's so cheerful all day long, either doing carpentry at home or going out to play with Fan Hua."
Ye Fuyue said, "If Chen Shun really can't pass the exam and has no interest in studying, then don't push him. Some people just aren't interested in studying and aren't cut out for it. As the saying goes, there are top talents in every profession. If they don't go to university, they can still find other jobs and support themselves."
"That's what you say, but after all, it's better to go to college, get a job, and have a stable job," said Chen Guifeng.
"You see, I don't have a stable job yet, but I'm running my own business. I'm making good money and living a good life," said Ye Fuyue.
"You are so creative and capable. If Chen Shun were even one-tenth as good as you, I wouldn't have to worry about anything." Chen Guifeng told the truth.
Ye Fuyue smiled: "Don't think too much now, wait until Shen Shun's college entrance examination results come out."
"Zhong Lan." Someone suddenly shouted outside the shop.
Zhong Lan was originally making stuffing for buns. When she heard the shout, she looked outside the shop.
Her face was full of surprise: "Dad, Mom, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, why are you all here?"
Zhong's mother said, "Not only did we come, but many neighbors came too."
Zhong Lan looked behind her parents and saw that many neighbors she was familiar with had indeed come.
Everyone saw her, smiled at her, and greeted her: "Zhong Lan."
"Why are you here together?" Zhong Lan said with a smile.
"I heard from your mom that you guys opened a bun shop, so we came over to check it out." Zhong's father said, "These neighbors heard your buns are delicious, and since you've opened a shop, they all wanted to try what they're like, so they came along."
Zhong Lan, Ye Fuyue, Cui Li and others quickly led everyone to their seats.
Fortunately, there were few customers at this time and not many customers in the shop, so there was just enough space for the Zhong family and neighbors to sit down.
"Little sister, is your business not doing well? There are not many people here." asked Brother Zhong.
Zhong Lan smiled and said, "You came late. There aren't many customers at this time. The busiest time is in the morning. We can be busy from the time the store opens until around nine o'clock, when we can sit down and take a breath."
"It's better to be busy. The shop can stay open longer if you are busy." said Zhong's mother.
Zhong Lan pointed to the paper on the wall and said, "All the types of buns and sweet drinks we have are written here. Take a look and see what you want to eat or drink."
Considering that some people here are illiterate, Zhong Lan read out the types of buns and sweet drinks written on the paper one by one.
Everyone ordered their meals one by one. Zhong Lan was afraid that she couldn't remember so many items, so she wrote them down one by one on paper.
"It's better to let the children go to school. If they can't read, they won't know what to sell and won't be able to run the shop." A neighbor sighed.
Mr. Zhong nodded in agreement and with some pride.
Back then, when he let Zhong Lan go to junior high school, many neighbors were still laughing at his family behind their backs, laughing at them for treating their daughter, who would get married sooner or later, as a treasure. What was the point of letting their daughter study so much? She could only do laundry, cook for her in-laws, and would have no use for what she learned.
Cui Li, Ye Fuyue and Chen Guifeng helped Zhong Lan to bring everyone's orders to the table one by one.
"The buns you make here are bigger than those sold outside." A neighbor said in surprise.
"Yes, our buns are indeed bigger than those sold outside." Zhong Lan said, "This is all our boss Fu Yue's idea. She said that if we want to do good business, we have to sell good products."
"The filling is quite filling," another neighbor also exclaimed.
"This tofu pudding is really delicious, much better than what I make at home."
"This mung bean soup is so thick. How did you make it so thick?"
Everyone ate and praised the food. When the Zhong family heard this, they all looked proud and happy.
"It's just that this shop is a bit far from where we live, otherwise I would have to come here every day to buy things." A neighbor said regretfully.
After the meal, Zhong Lan paid the bill for everyone.
Ye Fuyue whispered a few words in her ear.
Zhong Lan said to everyone, "Our boss said that he wants to thank everyone for coming all the way here to support us, so he'll give everyone a 20% discount."
Everyone already knew that the prettiest girl in the shop was the owner, and they all said to Ye Fuyue, "Thank you."
"You're so polite! You're even giving us a discount."
"You've come all the way here, it's what I deserve." Ye Fuyue smiled.
After Zhong Lan settled everyone's bill, the neighbors left first, but the Zhong family stayed and didn't rush to leave.
"Where is Zao'er?" asked Zhong's mother.
"She went out to play with Laibao, Huandi and others. They should be back soon." Zhong Lan said.
"Then let's wait here for a while. We'll leave when she comes back," said Mr. Zhong.
"With so many of us here, we won't delay your business, right?" Mrs. Zhong said.
Ye Fuyue said: "No, the busiest time is over."
Only then did the Zhong family wait for Yao Zaoer to come back with peace of mind.
Mother Zhong gave the eggs, chickens, and some vegetables they brought to Zhong Lan, and the dried fruits, meat sauce, and mushroom sauce to Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue was flattered. She didn't expect that the Zhong family would come to see Zhong Lan and even give her something.
Mother Zhong said to Ye Fuyue sincerely, "Lanlan is where she is today thanks to you. These dried fruits and sauces are all made by me. They are not expensive. I hope you don't mind them and enjoy them."
"You're so polite." Ye Fuyue said.
"You've helped my Lanlan so much, you deserve this courtesy." Mother Zhong said, "If it weren't for you, her life wouldn't be as good as it is now."
Ye Fuyue didn't hesitate and accepted all these things.
The Zhong family waited until Yao Zaoer came back and saw her before going back.
After the Zhong family left, Cui Li said to Zhong Lan enviously, "I really envy you. Your family treats you so well."
Everyone knew about Cui Li's situation. Not only had they not met her family since her divorce from Liang Nan, but even before they divorced, her family had never visited her, acting as if she were dead and never caring about her.
Zhong Lan didn't know what to say. She pointed at the things her family had brought and said, "My mom just told me to eat these with you."
