Aunt Zhong had already washed the little girl clean and applied talcum powder, making her smell nice all over. Liang Guiying brought the bathtub into the living room so that the little girl could play with her dolls while the fan was blowing on her.
Liang Guiying went to cook for Zhang Fenglian and her daughter. While they were eating, she washed the two buckets and then took a bath.
After Zhang Fenglian and her daughter finished showering, the three of them talked in the living room.
Knowing that Liang Guiying now sells iced drinks at a stall and has an income source, Zhang Fenglian breathed a sigh of relief: "Living in the city, you're always spending money, it's too unsustainable. Having an income source means at least you won't go hungry."
Liang Guiying then asked Chen Yingzi how she performed in the college entrance examination.
Chen Yingzi said, "I feel like I did terribly on the exam and probably won't get into university. But my parents said that there are countless paths in this world. As long as you don't think about taking shortcuts or shortcuts, and don't think about getting ahead overnight, and just be a down-to-earth person, you will definitely be able to support yourself."
"Many people live their whole lives and still don't understand these principles, but you understand them at only 18 years old, which is remarkable. That's right, as long as you are honest and down-to-earth, you can definitely support yourself... Yingzi, what are your plans?"
Chen Yingzi said, "I have a high school diploma, so I want to find a job in the city first, at least to support myself. Once I've saved up some money, I might set up a stall like my aunt. I don't want to get rich. I'd be content if I could earn thirty or forty yuan a month to support myself and send ten or twenty yuan back to my parents."
"Fenglian, you have given birth to a filial daughter."
Liang Guiying praised her, "But Yingzi, there are still more than 20 days until the college entrance examination results are released. You don't need to rush to find a job. I think you have a good mindset. If you don't underperform, your chances of getting into university are quite high... Have you filled out your application yet?"
She filled it in, but Chen Yingzi didn't dare to even think about it.
Liang Guiying didn't want to put too much pressure on Chen Yingzi. Besides, Chen Yingzi had gone crazy before the college entrance examination in her previous life. Now she had safely overcome this hurdle. Whether she passed the exam or not, it was worth celebrating.
Zhang Fenglian said she would go back tomorrow.
“Since you’re already here, don’t rush to leave. Stay in the city for a few more days. Yingzi, aren’t you looking for a job? If you don’t mind that it’s not respectable enough, help me set up a stall until your college entrance exam results are released, and I’ll give you fifty yuan.”
"Auntie, I'm willing to help you set up your stall, but I can't take your money! You already gave me a hundred yuan last time. If I help you set up your stall for a few days and then take your money, would I even be human?"
Zhang Fenglian also refused to accept any money: "Guiying, you have done a great favor for our family. It's nothing for Yingzi to help you with the stall for a few days. Jin Yingzi is broadening her horizons in the city, and I'm not in a hurry to go back. I'll call her father tomorrow and let him take care of things at home. We'll go back together after Yingzi's results are announced. It's agreed that you don't have to charge us money, but you have to provide us with food, drink, and lodging."
Knowing that the mother and daughter wouldn't accept the money, Liang Guiying happily agreed, thinking that it wouldn't be too late to pay them when they returned home.
Moreover, she had a premonition that Chen Yingzi would definitely get into university.
The renovation of the new shop will cost a lot of money. Liang Guiying has been selling tricycles every day for the past few days, but she still feels short of money. She wishes she could grow three heads and six arms so that she could go to seven or eight places to sell seven or eight times a day.
With Zhang Fenglian and Chen Yingzi's help, she can finally travel to more places.
This will not only increase her income but also attract more customers. In the future, when she opens her own ice cream parlor, these customers may become customers for the parlor.
The next day, Liang Guiying took the mother and daughter to the match factory to sell iced drinks. On the way back, they bought four large soup buckets. That afternoon, Liang Guiying asked Chen Yingzi and her daughter to set up a stall at the match factory, while she went to the motor factory, which was further away. After the mother and daughter became more familiar with each other, Liang Guiying asked Zhang Fenglian to guard the stall at the motor factory. Chen Yingzi stayed at the match factory, while she went to the pine resin factory, which was even further away.
Liang Guiying is extremely busy every day, and she only runs into her neighbors from the airport living area when she picks Niannian up in the evening.
Her neighbors had very polarized opinions about her, but Liang Guiying didn't care what they said or thought; all she cared about was making money.
Aunt Zhong and Aunt Wang didn't give her a friendly look either. Liang Guiying didn't try to explain, but she would bow deeply every day when she picked up her child.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Liang Guiying had just brought Niannian back when Boss Zhang, who was in charge of the renovation, came to her door.
Liang Guiying's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something had happened at the shop?
