That's ten thousand yuan?
“The ledger might be wrong, but the money collected can’t be wrong, right? Auntie, bring the money down, let’s count it together.”
The two men spent two whole hours counting the money in the two large sacks.
Ten thousand yuan, that's ten thousand yuan!
While Chen Yingzi was still staring wide-eyed, Liang Guiying suddenly felt at ease.
“When the three of us were working like crazy to set up a stall, we could earn one or two hundred yuan a day. Now I have six or seven people working non-stop all day long, and it’s normal to earn a thousand yuan a day.”
"Yes, Auntie, this is the result of our hard work. Every penny is hard-earned. It's only right that we earn more."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Liang Guiying set aside two thousand yuan for emergencies, and deposited the rest into Zhou Yue's savings account.
After depositing the money, Liang Guiying returned to the shop and gave all the employees a red envelope. All the employees, including Chen Yingzi, received the same red envelope, which contained five yuan. However, after giving out the red envelopes, Liang Guiying gave Chen Yingzi an extra fifty yuan.
Chen Yingzi refused to accept the money, her eyes welling up with tears as she said, "Auntie, you've already helped me enough, I can't take your money anymore."
"Keep it. In a couple of years, bring your parents to the city. They've worked hard their whole lives; it's time for them to enjoy their retirement."
Thinking of her mother's gray hair at only forty-something years old, and the suppressed groans of her father at night because of his back pain that prevented him from sleeping well, Chen Yingzi longed to take the fifty yuan.
With this fifty yuan, she can now bring her parents to the city.
But she knew that once she took some money, she would think that Liang Guiying should give her money at any time.
She came to work, she has already received her due wages and bonuses, so she cannot take this fifty yuan.
The young girl has backbone, which makes Liang Guiying very gratified.
Such a smart, hardworking, and principled girl is sure to have a bright future!
The Mid-Autumn Festival was fast approaching, and schools and factories were closed for the holidays. The shop was busy again, and Liang Guiying worked in the shop until four o'clock before taking Niannian home.
The pomelos in the front yard were ripe, and Liang Guiying picked one.
The meat was plump and juicy, but it was a little too sour. The little girl took a bite and her nose wrinkled from the sourness.
Liang Guiying thought she didn't like it, but the little girl wrinkled her nose and ate it in small bites, finishing two whole pieces.
She wanted to eat more, but Liang Guiying wouldn't give her any more: "Your teeth are sore and soft, you won't be able to bite the chicken leg in a little while."
Can't bite into a chicken leg?
The little girl was so scared that she quickly went to wash her hands. She could give up the pomelo, but not the chicken leg. She wanted to eat lots and lots of chicken legs!
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although it was just the two of them, the grandmother and granddaughter, Liang Guiying still solemnly killed a chicken.
I stewed chicken with red dates, stir-fried cured pork, steamed my favorite egg custard, and finally made a vegetable soup.
Two chicken drumsticks, one for the grandmother and one for the granddaughter.
The preserved fish was fragrant and delicious, and the soup was also very tasty. The little girl ate it with her mouth full of oil, and finally mixed the steamed egg custard with rice, gobbling it all up in no time.
She clutched her tummy and grinned, but then suddenly her lips trembled: "Mommy, I want Mommy, boohoo..."
It took Liang Guiying a lot of effort to calm the little girl down.
My little darling, you miss your mom, and I miss your mom too. I wonder how your mom is doing now?
