"Mom, I heard her say when my sister was in school that our family owns several shops. How come there are so many people?"
“This is normal. The village’s income has improved now. People need to buy things during the Spring Festival anyway. Besides, look at what we sell, it’s so fresh.”
"Take fresh winter vegetables for example. You can't get them like this before, but we're selling them now, and they're selling well, so it's normal."
"Okay, Mom. Dad is running a shop in Yue City. Will he be able to come back for Chinese New Year this year?"
"Yes, many of the employees there are from our town and village. Your dad will take the train back with them, so don't worry."
"Boss lady, Happy New Year! We've delivered all the gift bags you asked us to order last time. Could you please accept them?"
"Happy New Year, please put them in the store for me. Thank you for your help. There are 10,000 bags in total. I'll go get the money for you."
"Mom, why are you carrying so many bags? And these are all made of cloth, which is quite expensive."
"Yes, it's not Chinese New Year, but all the employees have worked hard this year and have been wholeheartedly dedicated to our store."
“We can’t be too stingy, right? Your dad and I discussed it and are planning to prepare some gifts for everyone for the New Year.”
"Mom, how much are you planning to give each person? How much do you need to prepare?"
"First of all, each employee received a set of Spring Festival couplets, and we also raise quite a few free-range chickens in the countryside, so each person received one."
"And another person gets a carp, and then another person gets a bag of apples."
Tingting collected these apples and fish in the summer, and she also made the Spring Festival couplets herself, so she didn't have to pay much for them.
"Mom, this is too extravagant! How many portions are we going to send? How much will it cost?"
"Tiedan, you can't just look at the present, right? Look at the value they've created for us this year."
"That's because if you treat them well, offer good benefits, and pay them high salaries, they will be willing to come and make money for you."
"Moreover, we've worked hard for a year, and our business is just getting started. Things will get better next year and the year after. We'll give our employees gifts for all the normal holidays."
"I understand, Mom. There are still 10 days until the New Year. Are we going to rush to get this done?"
"I've prepared everything; I'll put it all in this bag later."
"Mom, I can understand you giving these things to the employees, but why use pure cotton bags? Doesn't that waste a lot of money?"
"Tiedan, you don't understand. There are still many people who are very frugal these days."
“If you give each person four items, four pure cotton cloth bags, then if any of them are willing, they can make a piece of clothing for the children.”
"It can also be used to wipe the house, can't it?"
"It would be a waste to do anything else."
"Mom, you're too considerate of others. We'll all be home then, we'll help with the installation."
"Okay, the seven of you at home have solved a lot of problems for me. You can pack up these things that need to be distributed to the employees."
"By the way, keep an eye on the apples. If there are any that don't look good, pick them out. It's the New Year, don't cause trouble for people."
"Okay, we understand, Mom."
"Brother, we need to pack this up quickly. We need to pack everything up, or we'll be in a rush. We still need to deliver it to Dad."
"Yes, but Mom can't just send it over, the things will spoil."
"Then let me ask Mom how this was decided."
"Mom, Mom, what are you doing?"
"I'll keep the books, but the shop is too busy. Cheng Cai, you can do it."
“Okay, Auntie, I’ll take notes.”
“They’re too busy selling in front of the store to keep track of the sales. You can write it down for them, and then write down whoever sold it next to their name.”
"Okay, I understand. I promise there won't be any problems."
"What do you want from me? What's the matter?"
"Mom, what I want to ask is, doesn't Dad also need to send these New Year's gifts? Won't they spoil by the time they get there?"
“They’ve already prepared everything over there, so don’t worry. These things are for the staff here, and also for the people who will come back with your dad for the New Year.”
"Okay, I understand."
After finishing her work for the day, Tingting started a meeting with everyone.
"Everyone has worked hard. There are only 10 days left until the Chinese New Year. I sincerely thank everyone for their contributions to the store."
"Without your store, we wouldn't be able to sell so well and achieve such high sales figures."
"The Chinese New Year is almost here, and I thank everyone for their hard work. Everyone will receive a bonus this year, and I have already prepared it for everyone."
"A red envelope for each person, thank you all very much for your hard work this year."
"In addition, each person will receive four gifts: a free-range chicken, a carp, a bag of apples, and Spring Festival couplets made in our store."
"Because things are quite busy here and in the village, my seven children are helping with the preparations, so the distribution will be a little slower."
"But everyone can take the red envelopes home today. The gifts given to everyone during the Lunar New Year can be collected starting from the clothing store."
"Thank you, auntie."
"I also want to thank everyone. You've all worked hard this year. I hope we can achieve even greater success next year."
