He Ma was right.
Tang Jianguo's expression changed immediately after hearing that He Wenlin had not agreed.
Xu Aihua was also unhappy, but she could understand and comforted Tang Kai, saying, "Then you should just work hard at the factory and we'll talk about it later."
Tang Jianguo said irritably, "Linlin is really cold-blooded. She's just one person, what can't she arrange? I think she doesn't treat us as her own people! The shop is hers, whoever she wants to leave has to leave! Saying that there are enough people is just an excuse to not want you to go. Your sister is the same, letting the child make all the decisions."
Although Xu Aihua was unhappy, she still defended her sister: "Aizhen is not that kind of person."
"Why not? No, she won't make the decision to arrange for Xiao Kai to go there?"
Tang Kai was also upset and said irritably, "Stop arguing."
Upon hearing this, Tang Jianguo scolded Tang Kai in annoyance: "I told you to go with Linlin over there, but you wouldn't. You're only cousins, not even close relatives. Why didn't you get closer to her? Now look what's happened, your cousin isn't even as close as someone from the village."
Xu Aihua thought Tang Jianguo's words made some sense, and said, "Relationships are built up over time. You really need to spend more time with Linlin."
Tang Kai waved his hand impatiently: "I know, I know, it's so annoying."
...
Time flies, and it's already March.
The fast food restaurant's business has finally picked up.
Father He, Lin Fei, and Second Brother's Second Store are all busy.
He Wenlin also faced her first monthly exam.
This is also my first exam since being reborn.
After each exam, He Wenlin would hear, "How did you do? Did you answer the last question? What was the last multiple-choice question?"
She looks just like her in the past.
"Hey, He Wenlin, how did your exam go?" Gao Yuanyuan chased after her from behind, patted her on the shoulder, and asked, "I saw you doing test papers every evening during self-study. As soon as the math teacher was in class, you took the test papers up to him."
"She's just putting on an act." The girl next to Gao Yuanyuan disapproved of He Wenlin, thinking that He Wenlin was just faking her hard work to attract attention.
He Wenlin ignored her and said to Gao Yuanyuan, "The exam is over now. We'll know how well you did in a couple of days. I'm going back now. Goodbye, Gao Yuanyuan."
As for that sarcastic one, He Wenlin didn't even glance at her.
Today is my younger brother's eighth birthday, so He Wenlin needs to go home early to cook him something delicious.
Tomorrow is Saturday, and there's no evening self-study session tonight, so He Wenlin will have plenty of time to showcase her talents.
My younger brother ordered food yesterday, saying he wanted braised chicken, prawns, egg dumplings with sweet potato noodles, and cream cake.
Few children can resist a cream cake.
Now that they have the means, Mrs. He went to the cake shop early to order a twelve-inch three-tiered cream cake, because there would be many people today and a small cake wouldn't be enough to share.
There were still plenty of sweet potato vermicelli brought during the first month of the lunar calendar. Grandma He had already soaked a whole pot of it. Tonight, she wanted to take this opportunity to have a good family gathering, so she prepared a lot of ingredients.
When He Wenlin returned to the fast food restaurant, it was just past five o'clock. She washed her hands and quickly got to work.
Several garment factories have to work overtime tonight, so by this time, the fast food is almost ready.
The ingredients for the evening dinner have been mostly prepared, with only a little over two pounds of shrimp left. He Wenhua and Grandma He are deveining the shrimp.
He Wenlin first put the preserved mustard greens upside down and steamed them. This dish takes some time, so it needs to be done first.
Following that, He Wenlin and her father made braised beef brisket with potatoes, braised chicken, braised bream, pork rib, yam and corn soup, egg dumplings with sweet potato and vermicelli, stir-fried cured rabbit meat, and stir-fried spinach.
There were many people eating today, so we were divided into two tables. Each dish was served in two bowls, which was a very large portion.
At 6:45 PM, all the dishes were on the table.
He Wenlin told the employees to leave work, and Tang Jianguo and his family of three came over from the food factory.
The second store is closed, and Second Brother and He Shan have returned. Xu Haibo has also come from Hengling.
"Happy birthday, Xiao Jun." Xu Haibo took out a red envelope and gave it to He Wenjun first.
"Thank you, Brother Bo." He Wenjun happily accepted the money.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Aihua also gave him a red envelope.
He Wenjun naturally wouldn't miss out, adding, "I'm broke right now, take this little red envelope and use it to buy some spicy snacks."
He Shan, Lin Fei, and He Wenhua all gave red envelopes as well.
Xia Lijuan, who was on leave from work, laughed and said, "You guys are too modest. You're all millionaires. Your older brother and I are the poor ones."
Grandma He didn't like Xia Lijuan's way of speaking. She said indifferently, "If you and Wenhua work hard this year, you can buy a house next year too."
Aunt He chimed in, "That's right, you're going out to do business soon too, and you'll earn enough for a BMW this year."
"Our business is still far from settled." Xia Lijuan was still happy to hear this, and then asked Xu Haibo, "Haibo, how's your business?"
Xu Haibo is smart, but he is still young and unguarded. He blurted out, "It's alright. We can sell about a hundred servings of fried noodles a day, and sixty or seventy rice balls in the morning."
Xia Lijuan did the math on her fingers and exclaimed in surprise, "Then you must have a daily turnover of two or three hundred!!"
