People in Jiangcheng experience street flooding at least once or twice a year, giving them a wealth of survival experience.
The items on the first floor had already been moved to the second floor, and the windows on the second floor had been turned into water gates. Wooden boats had been secured to them long ago, so that if the water level continued to rise, people would travel by boat.
Liang Guiying used to live in the mountains and always heard about places being flooded, but this was the first time she had seen it this year, which made her a little panicked.
Fortunately, there was no serious harm; only some materials were lost, and everyone was safe and sound.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gradually gets warmer.
In the spring, Liang Guiying pruned the excess branches of the two trees in her yard. She wanted to build a swing for Xiaonian there, but she was always busy and kept forgetting.
Now that both stores have stabilized, Liang Guiying has taken action on this matter.
She bought wooden planks and thick hemp rope to make a small swing. She also wove a hammock out of bamboo and hung it next to Nian Nian's swing. After dinner, the grandmother and grandson would swing on the swing and then lie in the hammock for a while, and three or four hours would pass by.
Before she knew it, it was July. Liang Guiying installed telephones and bought large freezers for both ice rooms. To make it easier to stay in touch, she also installed a telephone and bought a refrigerator for her home.
With the phone, Liang Guiying rarely went to the shop anymore, focusing all her attention on taking care of Zhou Xiaonian.
The little girl is two and a half years old. She can speak in longer and longer sentences, and she is becoming more and more outgoing and bold. Of course, she can also be naughty at times.
No matter how naughty the little girl was, Liang Guiying always smiled.
Some people are still immature even when they are in their fifties or sixties, so what's wrong with a two-year-old being a little naughty?
Jiangcheng lifted the purchase restrictions on milk powder and milk, and the taste of milk tea from other ice cream parlors gradually caught up.
Ah Fong, the manager of Kowloon Cafe, called urgently, urging, "Sister Guiying, two more cafes have opened and copied all our drinks! We need to launch new products! Otherwise, we'll fall behind!"
It's not actually that serious.
The two largest and most fashionable ice cream parlors in Jiangcheng are both owned by Liang Guiying. Given similar prices, customers generally prefer to go to Liang Guiying's shop.
The environment is nice, with booths available, and the staff are friendly and quick-witted. Sometimes, if they know a man and a woman are on a blind date, they will give them an extra snack.
So even though two more ice cream parlors opened nearby, it didn't have much of an impact on Liang Guiying; Ah Fang was just too aware of the danger.
No rush.
Liang Guiying said this, but it only made Chen Fang nervous for three days before launching two new products. Of course, these two new products were quickly copied by others, but Liang Guiying was very calm because she had already earned enough.
Since Kowloon Cafe opened last year, she has accumulated over 100,000 yuan in savings. Even if both cafes fail, this amount will be more than enough for her to raise her granddaughter very well.
The only thing she regretted was Zhou Yue.
Since Gu Yunzheng brought news of Zhou Yue when he delivered a gift when Zhou Xiaonian was two years old, she has not received any news from her since.
The only thing that's certain is that Zhou Yue definitely passed the second level.
The probationary period lasts a year and a half, and it's almost been a year now. Zhou Yue only has one last hurdle left. Once she passes it, she can officially become a flight cadet and begin learning to fly airplanes!
If military visits are allowed, she can bring Zhou Xiaonian with her. If military service is allowed, she and Zhou Xiaonian can go with the troops, so she can take care of Zhou Yue as well.
Just thinking about that situation makes Liang Guiying very excited.
After the busy summer vacation, students started school, and the store wasn't as busy anymore.
Liang Guiying called a meeting, where she summarized the past period, distributed bonuses to everyone, and announced that she wanted to open a new shop and needed a store manager to help her prepare for the new store.
"To be clear, the new store is not an ice room, so it will be quite challenging. I'm not sure what to expect. If sales are not ideal, I may close the store at any time. At that time, Kowloon and Temple Street won't need that many people, and the store manager may have to find new jobs along with the new store's employees."
