Chapter 235: Busy Shipping, New Year's Plans
As for Zhang Wanwan, the brother and sister arrived at the store on Jianshe Road. Before they got close, they saw Zhang's father wandering around like a headless fly. There were two young men helping in the store. Seeing how busy they were, the two of them hurried over.
This side of Jianshe Road is on the edge of the city center. It is not as prosperous as the city center, but there are many residents around it. There are two floors in total, and the first floor is nearly 40 square meters, and the two floors together are almost 80 square meters. At that time, because this place had just been developed, there were not many residents and it seemed a bit remote, so the store was not expensive. Zhang's father only spent 400,000 to buy it. Now, if you want to get such a store here, it will cost at least 800,000 or 900,000.
Zhang Wanwan, who entered the store, shouted without saying anything, "Dad, is there anything we can help you with?"
Father Zhang looked up in shock, "Why are you back? Did Yun Fei go back?"
"Yeah." Zhang Wanwan responded. After looking around, she found that there were foam boxes for express delivery everywhere, some big and some small. There was also an extra-large refrigerator next to it, which was full of frozen Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Two part-time guys were busy loading the goods, putting in ice packs, sealing them and sticking labels according to the printed lists. They didn't even raise their heads. There was still a thick stack of lists next to them that they hadn't finished sticking.
Zhang Wanwan wanted to go over to help, but Zhang's father quickly said, "Since you're here to help, divide these among your brothers. If you don't understand something, you can ask them. I'll go upstairs to stock up. These are not enough!"
After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he immediately went upstairs without giving Zhang Wanwan a chance to ask questions.
Zhang Wanwan held the stack of things and looked at Zhang Baiyan. They quickly found a small stool to sit down and watched how others did it several times before they started.
They were a little slow at first, but became proficient after installing a few.
It is said that the more you do a job like packing express packages, the more you get addicted to it. Zhang Wanwan is like this. After getting the hang of it, she didn't even have time to drink water and didn't even notice that it was past mealtime.
It was not until Father Zhang came down from upstairs and saw them still working that he asked, "Have you eaten dinner?"
"No!" Zhang Wanwan replied, but her hands never stopped moving.
Father Zhang looked up and exclaimed, "It's already past nine o'clock, why don't you go eat something? Aren't you hungry? Go and have a rest, Dad will order you some food."
Zhang Wanwan glanced at the two young men who were still working beside her and muttered, "They haven't eaten either."
One of them grinned and said, "We had a snack at around four o'clock, so we are not very hungry."
"We have to eat too!" Father Zhang went out without saying anything. There happened to be many restaurants nearby, so he went directly to the stir-fry restaurant across the street and ordered some food.
When he came back, he found that the four people were still working hard, so he hurried over to pull them over. "Go, go, go and have a rest. There is always a lot of work to do, especially these days. I asked the SF Express guys, and they said that this year they will receive the goods on the 27th day of the lunar calendar and deliver them on the 29th day of the lunar calendar. We just need to ship out all the goods before the 28th day of the lunar calendar."
That being said, however, hearing the constant beeping sound from the computer, Mr. Zhang felt a headache coming on, and he couldn't help but reply to the message after just giving a few words of advice.
Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan smiled at each other, symbolically drank a glass of warm water and continued to work, only stopping when the food was delivered at ten o'clock.
At this time, the four of them were almost done with the orders in their hands. Zhang's father quickly contacted SF Express to come and pick up the goods, and tried to get a batch out in the evening. The other orders were taken back by Zhang's father. "You can go back after dinner. The rest will be done tomorrow. I will take care of the aftermath."
The two young men had no objection and left after dinner. Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan stayed to help Zhang's father, one helped to reply to messages and the other helped to move goods, while Zhang's father continued to prepare Buddha Jumps Over the Wall upstairs.
The three of them were busy until almost eleven o'clock before they went back.
When she got home, Zhang Wanwan felt like her body was no longer her own. She was so tired that she felt dizzy and had to take a shower.
The next day, she failed to get up early. When she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock. There was no one at home and the food on the table was cold. She glanced at her mobile phone and saw a message from Zhang Baiyan saying that he had gone to the store to help and asked her to have a good rest for a day.
Zhang Wanwan's mouth twitched. How could she sit still at this moment? She just heated up the food and ate a bowl before going out.
In the next few days, except for Zhang's mother who was busy setting up the stall, the other three members of the family of four were busy in the store.
It wasn't until after the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month that they had some free time. Of course, it wasn't that there were no orders, but Zhang's father was afraid that he wouldn't be able to fulfill all the orders, so the information he sent up was that the deadline for shipment before the New Year was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and that orders after the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month would have to wait until the courier was at work before they could be shipped normally. Even so, they almost didn't finish shipping all the goods, and they had to stay up until the early morning for several days in a row before going home.
After all this, Zhang Wanwan found that she had lost weight again! This realization made her a little worried. When she was in high school, she was 165 cm tall and weighed about 90 kg. This was disliked by the whole family. Zhang's mother often complained that she could not gain weight. When she went out, people always thought she was abusing her daughter.
Now it’s better, the height should remain the same, and the weight may have dropped again!
Zhang's father, who had some free time, also discovered this problem. Every time he saw her, he would frown with worry. If it wasn't for the approaching New Year, he would have wanted to take Zhang Wanwan to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Why were other people's babies so plump and beautiful, while their baby was as weak as a willow in the wind?
"Girl, Dad thinks you really need to make up for it!" Father Zhang said earnestly.
Zhang Wanwan blinked in frustration, "How can I make up for it? Dad! You don't become fat in one day!"
"I know this logic, so let's eat slowly. From now on, you have to eat an extra bowl of rice at every meal. I don't believe that you will still be like this in half a year!" Father Zhang gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
Zhang Wanwan shuddered, feeling extremely lucky to have gone to university. If she were still under her father's supervision, she might have been forced to eat an extra bowl of food at every meal. Isn't this cramming?
Because she didn't want to continue dwelling on this topic, Zhang Wanwan found an excuse to go out. It happened that Chinese New Year was in two days, and no one had bought any new clothes. Not only her, but even her parents didn't have time to buy any. Zhang Wanwan simply bought all the clothes and shoes for her family in one day, and bought some New Year's goods at the same time. By the time she was done, it was New Year's Eve.
This year, because we have a villa in our hometown, the whole family decided to gather together for the fire in the city first, return to Xiqiao Village on the first day of the New Year, visit relatives and friends there, stay there until the fifth day of the New Year, and then return to the city.
Now that the family has more income, Zhang's mother is not as impatient to open the stall as before, and she has no objection to taking a few more days off.
