After a busy day, Sun Xiaohua, the store manager, went home with a red envelope and gifts given to her by Tingting.
She was also very happy. Back then, her family's financial situation wasn't good, and several of her brothers were still unemployed. She applied for the job when she saw the store's job posting.
She never expected that her attempt would bring about such a big change for her. Although it was tiring, the salary was really high.
Normally, I earn 2,000 a month, and during peak season, 3,000 to 4,000 is not a problem.
Her aunt saw that she was doing a good job, so she made her the store manager, and she earned 500 more a month than others.
Although she was very busy and worked hard, her monthly salary was more than her family's annual income.
She was glad she applied early. Now, many people in town want to work at the store, but no one is quitting and there are no vacancies.
After all, nobody's stupid. Where else can you find such a good salary? In the summer, the electric fan runs all day long, there are popsicles to eat, and bonuses and gifts are given during the Chinese New Year.
This is much better than her older brother's job, and she is incredibly grateful.
"Xiaohua, why are you back so late? Is the shop that busy?"
"Yes, it's extremely busy. It's Chinese New Year, so there are a lot of people coming to buy new clothes, and it's not just this one shop."
"Oh, right, Mom, these are gifts from the boss lady, she said they're for Chinese New Year, and they're all nice things."
When Sun Xiaohua's mother opened the package, she exclaimed, "Wow, so many good things!"
"Did you send this to everyone?"
"Yes, they've all been given out. Our boss and her shop in Guangdong also have a branch, and they even gave each of us a red envelope."
How many people work in your store? How much do these things cost?
"We have a lot of people in our store, including many promotional staff; there must be over 300 people."
"So many people? How much does all this stuff cost? That's incredibly wealthy! How much money did they give you in red envelopes?"
"Let me see," Xiaohua said, opening the red envelope.
Xiaohua usually earns a lot, but when she comes home, she says she only earns 500 yuan a month. She keeps the rest of the money for herself, since there are just too many people in her family.
The fact that she dared to apply for the store manager position proves that she is a very decisive person.
This 500 yuan usually needs to be handed over, but this surprised Xiaohua's family, since it was more than 300 yuan more than her older brother earns in a month.
"100? That's too many."
"100, 100 for each of you? That's incredibly rich."
“My aunt and uncle are generous and kind to us, so I definitely have to work hard. You don’t know how many people want to work in our shop now.”
"Here's 100 yuan, Mom will keep it for you. I'll give you 10 yuan, I'll save it for you so you don't spend it recklessly."
Xiaohua didn't say anything. Anyway, she kept most of her salary. She had eight children at home, and she also had to think about herself.
She understood everything, but she didn't want to argue. Looking at her younger sister, Sun Xiaohua felt sorry for her. She was earning more money in the family now, but her older brother was still unemployed.
She still has quite a few nephews and nieces, all crammed into this house. Her younger sister doesn't eat or dress well.
But she couldn't buy it for her. There were so many children in the family. Even if she bought clothes for her little sister, they wouldn't end up being hers anyway. It was better to just give her more food instead.
"Mom, the store gave us apples today, could you wash one for me and one for my little sister too?"
"I want to eat too. I want to eat too."
It would have been better if I hadn't mentioned it, because once I did, my nephews and nieces all started shouting and making a fuss.
"Xiaohua, you've had a long day. You should eat. Your sister doesn't have anything to do at home, so she doesn't need to eat yet."
Xiao Hua didn't argue with her mother. There were many children in the family and limited things, so she turned around and took her younger sister back into the house.
Here, you can have it.
Sun Xiaohong's mouth watered at the sight of the huge apple, but she still shook her head.
"Sis, let's split it in half. You can eat what you brought back."
Seeing how sensible her younger sister was, Xiaohua felt sorry for her, but there was nothing she could do for her now.
But if I'm still working here a few years from now, I plan to talk to my aunt and ask her to let my younger sister work at the store too.
My younger sister isn't as smart as me, but she's the one who cares about me the most. If I have the ability now, I definitely want to help her.
The two sisters smiled and finished eating the apples they each had in their hands, one half and one half.
