Chapter 419
Lin Wang turned around and saw her, and was stunned.
A trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then he smiled awkwardly and squeezed out a dry sentence: "Wait."
Then he moved the goods on his shoulders into the store, put them down, said hello to his companions, and then came over to talk to Su Miao.
"Su Miao, what a coincidence, hello uncle."
Su Miao asked him straight to the point: "Is this your new job?"
Lin Wang nodded, his expression calm but with a hint of helplessness, and said:
"It's actually a temporary job, delivering and moving things. Although it's unstable, the pay is good, and it's paid daily, which suits me better."
Su Miao thought for a moment and said, "We are going to Wutong Temple tomorrow. Are you free to go with us?"
"Sure! I'll just take a day off! Praying for you is more important."
"But I've sold my two-wheeled vehicle, so I can only ride my old three-wheeled vehicle. You guys won't mind me, right?" Lin Wang replied without hesitation.
Su Miao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "A tricycle is more suitable. When will you get off work?"
"We've already delivered two trucks this morning. We'll be almost done after this one. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Come to my house after school this afternoon. I have something to tell you. You should know which house is mine."
"I know, I know. Didn't you treat us to dinner at your restaurant? How could I forget such a big sign?"
On the way home, Su Yuanzheng asked his daughter, "Wasn't that your classmate just now? Why didn't you go to class?"
"His pre-test score fell a little short, so he wasn't able to take the college entrance exam this year. According to school regulations, he can now skip school."
Su Yuanzheng shook his head regretfully: "Oh, what a pity! I think he's a good boy. Will he repeat the year next semester?"
"His family's financial situation isn't very good right now, so it's a little difficult for him to repeat his studies. So I want to help him."
Su Yuanzheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, such a good classmate, I should help him if I can, or ask him to work in the store."
Su Miao shook his head and said, "I don't think this is a good idea. As my classmate, he is on the same level as me.
If he becomes my employee, his mood will inevitably change. Besides, I hope he can repeat his studies instead of going out to work in society.
So I think he can do some flexible small business."
"Okay, anyway, what you can think of is always better than what Dad can think of. If there is anything you can do for me, just let me know."
"Hehehe, there really is one! I want to borrow something from Dad!"
…
When going to school in the afternoon, Su Miao did not tell the others about Lin Wang's work as a loader. He just said that the matter had been conveyed and he would come tomorrow.
Everyone was very happy and agreed to meet at the school gate at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, which is closer from here.
When I got home from school, Lin Wang was already waiting for me in the store.
Su Yuanzheng invited him to dinner but he declined. He sat near the door and seemed a little restrained as he watched the customers coming into the restaurant.
When he saw some customers leaving after eating, he wanted to go over to help clear the dishes, but was stopped by the waiter because he was a guest invited by the boss.
In less than a month, the originally bright and unrestrained young man became a little timid and cautious.
Su Miao walked into the store and called him, "Lin Wang, you're here."
"I'm here. I happened to be visiting my grandma at the hospital. I saw it was almost time, so I came over. It's not far away."
"Did you have meal?"
"Not yet. I'll eat when I get home."
"I'm hungry and need to eat first. Come with me and we can talk while we eat."
Lin Wang hesitated for a moment before softly responding:
"Um... okay."
Su Miao asked Brother Yu to cut two servings of braised rice, and brought two servings of corn and pork ribs soup, and took Lin Wang to the yard to eat.
Lin Wang smelled the fragrant meat and couldn't help but praise:
"Su Miao, your food is still so delicious! No wonder your business is so good every day."
Su Miao smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. If it's not enough, you can always have more."
"That's enough, it's such a big portion!"
The two chatted while eating, and Su Miao asked with concern: "Is your grandma feeling better?"
Lin Wang's mood darkened. He shook his head and said, "The doctor said I need surgery, but the district hospital is overcrowded. The waiting time is two weeks later."
"Hmm...is the surgery expensive?"
"It's quite high. My dad spent all the family savings, but it's still not enough.
I have borrowed some money from other relatives, and it should be enough for the surgery alone.
Although the post-operative treatment still costs money, fortunately I can work now, and with my father's salary and my mother's income, I can get by."
"Is your delivery job stable? Do you have to do it every day?" Su Miao asked.
Lin Wang shook his head helplessly: "No, they just wanted me for a temporary job because we have a lot of deliveries to make in the next two weeks. I'll have to find another job after this period."
Su Miao was already full. She drank the soup slowly and then asked, "What does your aunt do now? You brought her dessert to school before, it was delicious."
"My mother now helps with housework for other families. She cooks a meal at noon, cleans the house and picks up the kids from school in the afternoon.
After picking up the kids, I can get off work and take care of my younger siblings, so the time is more convenient."
Then, he smiled awkwardly and said, "She's a bit like a nanny, actually. But my relative introduced her to the leader's family, and my mom said they treated her pretty well."
Su Miao nodded in understanding, without showing any disdain, and said:
"Housekeeping services are an emerging tertiary industry that has already begun to appear in some larger cities. As demand increases, they will definitely develop in the future. Auntie is at the forefront of the times!"
Seeing Su Miao's attitude, Lin Wang relaxed visibly, smiled silently, and then stuffed a piece of braised meat into his mouth.
"Do you...want to make money?"
Su Miao looked at him and asked suddenly.
When Lin Wang heard this, he was so surprised that he almost choked. He quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth, coughed twice before recovering and said anxiously:
"What? Making money? Of course I want to! I dream about it!"
“I think that instead of being a deliveryman who works today and doesn’t work tomorrow, you might as well try to start a small business first.
The time is more flexible. If you succeed, you can go back to repeat the year and earn some money to supplement your family income in your free time.
If that doesn't work out, going back to doing odd jobs is also possible."
After being classmates for a year, Lin Wang was full of admiration for Su Miao's intelligence. Now she was willing to take the initiative to give him advice!
Lin Wang's eyes sparkled with hope as he said excitedly:
"Su Miao, do you have any good ideas? Don't worry, I'll listen to you!"
