Liu Yanran stayed with Su Wanwan at night. At this time of year, few people on business trips could afford to live independently. Su Wanwan was thrilled. Her sales for today alone were nearly $230,000, with a profit of 10 points. She would receive a 1% commission, which came to several thousand yuan, almost five years' salary. She had just spent nearly an hour eating there; the meal was truly exceptional value.
Su Wanwan's heart was filled with longing and anticipation, as if she saw the road ahead gleaming with a brilliant light. She secretly congratulated herself on having made such a wise decision to resolutely give up the opportunity to become a clerk.
Once she secured the generous commission, she planned to buy a cozy home of her own, or perhaps apply for a plot of land to build her dream home. After all, her family of eight—her parents and six siblings—had long been crammed into a two-bedroom apartment of just over 50 square meters allocated by the factory. Although she had tried to create more space with partitions, she had never had her own private room since she was a child.
Su Wanwan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion as she recalled the past. After graduating from high school, her eldest brother was forced to work in the countryside after the Gaokao system was canceled. Yet, with unwavering perseverance, he persevered for a full decade, never even considering starting a family. It wasn't until the Gaokao was reinstated that he finally achieved his dream of enrolling in a university in another province.
Now, my eldest brother has entered his third year of university. He lives on campus during the weekdays and goes out to work during the holidays to earn a living. He also sends some money back home from time to time to supplement the family expenses.
Her second sister also embarked on the journey to the countryside the following year. Unable to endure the hardships of farm work, she eventually found a simple and honest man and married him. They went on to have three lovely children. However, the heavy burden of life and the distractions of trivial matters had long since extinguished her desire and passion to take the college entrance examination and pursue a higher education.
Her third brother was adamantly unwilling to go to the countryside and endure hardships, and no amount of persuasion from the family would sway him. In desperation, the family spent all their savings to buy him a job, hoping for a stable source of income. However, this was just the beginning. Soon after, the third brother fell in love again, and soon after, marriage was discussed. To ensure his marriage, the family had to borrow money, incurring a considerable debt. Years later, her parents continued to work hard, save money, and strive to repay the debt.
In contrast, the fourth brother was quite pragmatic. Through his diligence and perseverance, he studied diligently for several years under a highly respected and skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. When the reform and opening-up policy came, the fourth brother joined his master, helping out with odd jobs in a small clinic. While their life wasn't easy, at least they were self-sufficient and even lived in the clinic with their master.
As the fifth child in the family, despite being at the bottom of the class, her parents fully supported her education and successfully enrolled her in high school. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Her mother suddenly became seriously ill, forcing her to apply for early medical retirement. It was only natural for her to take over her mother's position and join the factory. However, unlike her colleagues, she didn't settle for a simple job. Instead, with her sharp business acumen and extraordinary courage, she gradually transitioned from production to sales, living in the factory's dormitory.
As for the youngest brother, Lao Liu, he is still studying hard at school, preparing for the college entrance examination next year. Now, besides the third brother and his family, the only member living in this family is the sixth brother who is also studying.
"Translator Liu, you are truly amazing! You are fluent in the languages of so many countries, and you have successfully helped us increase the unit price of our products. You are simply omnipotent!" Su Wanwan's big, bright eyes, like stars, flashed with admiration and worship, and she stared at Liu Yanran and said.
Hearing the words of praise, Liu Yanran's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a humble and confident smile: "No, no, you are also very good! You have achieved such brilliant success in your first attempt at food broadcasting. Those audiences are attracted by your unique charm." In fact, Su Wanwan is only 18 years old, even younger than Liu Yanran, but Liu Yanran always encourages and supports this little sister with the kind and caring attitude of an older sister.
Su Wanwan scratched her head and replied with a satisfied smile on her face: "Haha, I was just demonstrating how I eat normally, and I didn't expect it to arouse such strong interest from everyone. Besides, the opportunity to enjoy delicious meat so unscrupulously and to the fullest doesn't come every day. No matter from which perspective, I feel like I've earned it, hehe..." Obviously, this sunny, cheerful and energetic girl is not only optimistic about life, but also an out-and-out senior foodie.
At this moment, a sudden doubt crossed Liu Yanran's mind: Logically, a young woman like Su Wanwan should be preparing for the Gaokao, so why is she already working so early? Curious, Liu Yanran couldn't help but ask, "You speak clearly and clearly, and you look like someone who has received a good education. Why didn't you take the Gaokao to continue your studies, but instead went straight into the workplace?"
"My mother fell seriously ill last year, and since then she can't sit or stand for long periods of time and is always dizzy. She couldn't bear to leave this job, so she applied for medical retirement and let me take over." Su Wanwan didn't hesitate and told the reason directly.
