Chapter 223: Out of confinement, traveling with the child
It was inconvenient for Huang Xinran to go out at the moment, so the only solution she could think of was the flower plantation.
Liang Wei had told her before that the number of staff at the plantation was gradually increasing, and it had become a big deal for the workers to go back and forth for meals.
Seeing that her restaurant business was booming, he wanted to get her to open a canteen together.
Huang Xinran took into consideration that she was heavy and had difficulty traveling (she was pregnant at the time), so she shook her head and declined.
Now that my mother is interested, I might as well let her take charge of this matter.
If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, she will endorse it. At worst, we can just wait until she is out of confinement and then sort it out. I believe nothing serious will happen.
Having made up her mind, she took a letter to Liang Wei and asked for the job of working in the cafeteria.
After Liang Wei got the accurate information, he nodded without saying a word.
The next morning, he came and took Liu Zhaodi away.
Although Huang Xinran was very worried about her, because Liu Zhaodi couldn't read a single word, she had no better solution at the moment.
Who made Liu Zhaodi so restless?
Liu Zhaodi hurried back in the evening. When she got home, she didn't care about anything else and hurried to cook for Huang Xinran.
She kept telling her about what she saw and heard during this trip. "I didn't expect that you and Xiao Liang actually opened a flower garden. I asked about it, and I heard that you sold a lot of flowers this month alone. You made a lot of money, right? Ranran, you are amazing! You are worthy of being your mother's good daughter!~"
Just after the National Day, Liang Wei mentioned before that a large number of flowers were purchased and a lot of them were sold!
"That's right. Thanks to you, mom, for giving your daughter a smart brain."
Huang Xinran deliberately agreed with her.
She knew that her mother was pretending to be angry or scolding her in order to comfort her. She didn't want her to fall into sadness during her confinement and hurt her body or develop a chronic disease.
She fulfilled his wish and tried to pretend that she had forgotten about it.
The memory is eternal. You can't just stop living your life because you lost your child.
Always look forward in life.
"It's good that you know! Don't worry, I've seen it all, and I will definitely not let you down!"
Liu Zhaodi happily hummed a song while cooking.
During the meal, she brought up another matter, "Ran Ran, do you know anyone who has a bicycle for sale? An old one will do, I'll buy it with my own money. It will be more convenient to travel with a bicycle in the future."
It takes more than an hour to walk from the family compound to the plantation, but it only takes about 20 minutes by bike, which saves a lot of time.
"I've asked someone to look for it. Wait a minute."
Huang Xinran had already considered the bicycle problem.
As a result, the next day, Sun Ya came over with two bicycles.
Sun Ya hadn't been seen for a long time, and when she came, her hands were full of bags.
When the two met, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries. "My cousin was originally planning to come over, but he thought it was inconvenient, so he asked me to come. I've been busy with classes recently and also had to take care of the guesthouse. I've been so busy that I don't have time to come and see you. I'm really sorry..."
Since Sun Ya was transferred to the guesthouse in H Province, she was admitted to a certain university. She is busy enough with school and work. No wonder she has no time to come.
Huang Xinran naturally would not be angry, but instead praised her.
He bought both bicycles and gave each other some fruits and vegetables before leaving, which made Sun Ya very happy.
"Ranran, don't worry. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will get it for you!" If she can't get it, she will ask someone else to get it. She didn't believe that with the abilities of the Sun family, they still couldn't get what she needed.
"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that."
With a bicycle, Liu Zhaodi can travel much more conveniently.
Every morning when she went out, she would cook and eat with Huang Xinran, and then go out with Yaya Maomao. Yaya Maomao went to school, and she went to the plantation. After leaving the family compound, they walked in opposite directions.
At noon, she would come back around one o'clock, bringing back meals she had cooked herself.
In the afternoon, she would come back later and also bring food.
After dinner, she would take out the account book of the day's purchases and show it to Huang Xinran, and then let Huang Xinran explain it to her item by item.
Although Liu Zhaodi is already in her fifties, she is very studious and hardworking, which makes Huang Xinran amazed.
In less than a week, she could almost read the ledger.
Of course, you can understand the numbers in the account book and the income and expenditure.
In fact, there is no need to worry if she doesn't understand, because Huang Xinran is there to steer the ship and make sure she doesn't make any mistakes.
By the time Huang Xinran finished her confinement, Liu Zhaodi had already done her job properly and looked much more energetic. She no longer looked like someone who was almost 50 years old. Instead, she seemed to have a second life. Even the skin on her face had become much smoother.
Sure enough, the only things that can give a woman a second spring in life are self-confidence and plenty of money.
Money is a woman's courage and the confidence to speak!
As Huang Xinran came out of her confinement, the first snow fell all over the earth.
As the weather got colder, everyone changed into thick winter clothes. Huang Xinran couldn't help herself, and the first thing she did after leaving the confinement period was to go to the bathhouse and take a hot bath.
However, she just took a shower and didn't dare to take a bath.
After all, she was from Q City, where the custom of confinement after childbirth was 40 days, while here the confinement period was only 30 days. She was afraid that her body had not recovered well, so she did not dare to be careless.
Even though she was careful, her hair, which hadn't been washed for a month, was still so greasy that it looked like she could scrape off a layer of oil. She used shampoo four or five times before she felt it was clean.
When she walked out of the bathhouse, even though she had changed into thick winter clothes, she still felt that she had lost several pounds.
Taking advantage of the rare Sunday, Huang Xinran took Yaya and Maomao and rode their bikes to the flower plantation to enjoy the snow? Besides, they also took a look at what their mother had done with the cafeteria.
Yaya and Maomao have been feeling depressed these days.
There was no other way. Huang Xinran was in confinement after giving birth, and the neighbors were keeping their own children under control for fear of disturbing her. The two children had fewer friends to play with. Wouldn’t they be lonely?
Fortunately, they can still go to the shop to play with their grandmother from time to time after school.
Huang Xinran hasn't been here for almost two months.
As soon as you enter the plantation, the first thing you see is a large area of clematis, followed by blooming peonies, and a circle of plum blossom potted plants planted on the periphery are in full bloom, which is a pleasing sight to the eye.
Passing through the sea of flowers, the rich aroma of food wafts from afar.
They walked along the path and soon saw a building with white walls and black tiles appearing at the end of the original plantation.
Here is the newly built cafeteria.
It was not yet time for lunch, but on the narrow path leading to the canteen, workers were already holding bowls and chopsticks, happily walking towards the canteen.
Seeing Huang Xinran appear with the child, she nodded to them and couldn't help whispering to them.
Soon, it seemed that someone recognized her, because she appeared once at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the other person turned around and quickly ran to report the news.
