The next morning.
After most of the breakfast customers had left, Qiao Xiaoni asked Ma Yulan to handle the next customers, and then she went to the hospital with Tao Chunfang.
The results came back quickly: Tao Chunfang was more than a month pregnant.
When Tao Chunfang left the clinic, she felt like she was in a dream. She had initially thought that her body had been damaged during the birth of Manli. Because she hadn't used any contraception over the years, she hadn't been able to conceive, and she felt guilty about it.
Now that she's pregnant again, she really wants to have a son so she can give her husband an heir.
"Nizi, I'm so happy right now, I really want to tell everyone."
Qiao Xiaoni pulled her to sit on a chair against the wall: "Sister-in-law, we have to keep this a secret for a while. At least until you're pregnant, then we can let everyone know."
Right now, we still have something to take care of. That is, I have to go to school to register in a while, and your belly will get bigger and bigger.
You definitely can't keep up the work at the shop anymore, so who's going to take over?
Tao Chunfang touched her belly, feeling that her baby had come at an inopportune time: "What am I going to do? In a few months I won't be able to work anymore. Mom can only do washing dishes, how will she cook meat? Prepare side dishes?"
She definitely can't remember that much. As for the mountains and hills, it's alright to ask them to do some work.
We can't count on our dad anymore; all he can do is start a fire and chop wood.
So, when you think about it, there really isn't anyone in our family who can do any housework.
Qiao Xiaoni thought of Ma Yulan, who was left in the shop, and asked, "Do you think Sister Yulan is reliable? Can you trust her to handle this whole thing?"
Tao Chunfang fell into deep thought. After all, this was a business that could make money. What if something went wrong if it was handed over to an outsider?
Qiao Xiaoni had two main objectives: to resolve the upcoming issues and to test Tao Chunfang's problem-solving abilities. She couldn't always anticipate their needs.
Tao Chunfang bit her lip and said, "After spending these days together, I think she's a decent person."
There are some things I can delegate to her. I feel like I shouldn't tell her the recipe for the seasonings for braised pork.
After all, she's not family yet. Our shop is just starting out, and anything can happen. I don't want to ruin our business.
“Sister-in-law, you and I are thinking the same thing. So next, I’m going to rework the braised meat recipe and add a few more seasonings.”
Then, once you have mastered these ingredients, have your older brother prepare them every day. This way, even if you don't go to the shop, you can still manage the business.
As for the accounts, I will take this time to teach my second brother how to calculate simple accounts.
As for the monthly accounts, I plan to hand them over to Chenqiu. With the two of them involved, there shouldn't be any problems with the money.
Tao Chunfang nodded repeatedly: "Just do as you say, there shouldn't be any major problems."
I can work for a few more months, and then let her take over everything once my pregnancy becomes more noticeable.
The sisters-in-law discussed it for a while and refined the plan. They chatted until 11 o'clock before setting off back to the shop.
The pregnancy had to be kept secret, so no one mentioned it after returning to the store until they got home and announced the news.
The good news was confirmed, and everyone was overjoyed, celebrating once again in a lively atmosphere.
