Qian Niandi and Qian Longfei have lived a down-to-earth life in recent years. The brother and sister work hard together to save money.
Qian Niandi worked in that garment factory for such a long time, and her salary increased year by year with the development of the economy.
Qian Longfei worked as a laborer in a barbecue restaurant for two years. He was provided with food and accommodation, but the salary was not high.
Qian Niandi felt that it was not a long-term solution for the brother and sister to continue working like this.
After Sun Xiaohao squandered all the money she had worked so hard to save, she repeatedly warned Qian Longfei to learn to save money and not spend it indiscriminately.
She also saved almost all of her salary. Now, the brother and sister have used the money they have saved over the years to open a barbecue restaurant.
In the summer, the busiest places on the streets are the barbecue stalls and shops.
The shop run by Qian Niandi and Qian Longfei is not big, with only eight tables, but there is an open space in front of the door where they can set up an open-air stall.
Qian Longfei is very smart. Qian Niandi once told him that if he learned the skills, he could open his own shop and be the boss. Qian Longfei remembered it and studied barbecue techniques carefully while working.
Now that he has opened his own shop, the various flavors of skewers are very popular among nearby residents.
Crayfish are also very popular at barbecue stalls, and their shop also offers three different flavors of crayfish.
However, the peak hours for barbecue customers are concentrated in the evening. Leaving the store empty during the day is a waste of resources.
Qian Niandi was not afraid of hard work. She changed the store to selling boxed lunches at noon. The brother and sister worked together to cook a dozen dishes, which were placed separately in stainless steel boxes. They pushed the cart filled with various fried dishes to the door of the store and sold boxed lunches for ten to fifteen yuan.
This is also what Qian Niandi learned after paying attention to the food stalls on the street.
In this way, their small shop can make two rounds of money a day.
When business is good, the brother and sister can make several thousand dollars a day. It has to be said that as long as they are willing to endure hardships, they can earn a lot more than working as a laborer.
Qian Niandi thought that when the barbecue season came to an end, the store could introduce other best-selling seasonal foods. After all, she couldn't let the store's customer flow drop.
Qian Niandi also said to Qian Longfei: "Let's save all the money we earn now. When we have enough for the down payment, we can buy you a house. Then we can have a family..."
Now that she has a goal in life, Qian Niandi is thinking further ahead.
She and her brother have been homeless for so many years, and what they most want is to have a home that truly belongs to them and settle down.
Qian Longfei is very dependent on Qian Niandi and listens to her.
The history of being bullied in the welfare home left a psychological trauma on Qian Longfei, making him unwilling to get close to Qian Niandi for a long time.
Fortunately, in the past few years, Qian Niandi moved Qian Longfei with her sincerity, making him recognize his only relative - "sister" again.
He himself also cherishes his hard-earned current life, listens to Qian Niandi and does not spend money indiscriminately.
Of the money the siblings earned from the barbecue restaurant, except for a small portion used for daily expenses, the rest was deposited into Qian Niandi's card.
But she was afraid that Qian Longfei would be like Sun Xiaohao, thinking that she had money but was reluctant to spend it on her younger brother, so she would often report to Qian Longfei how much money the family had saved, and repeatedly emphasized that the house she bought in the future would be in Qian Longfei's name.
She felt that as an older sister, she had an obligation to take good care of her younger brother, but she never made any plans for herself.
To Qian Longfei, Qian Niandi can definitely be considered a very qualified sister.
She is twelve years older than Qian Longfei. Whether in terms of age or the care she has shown Qian Longfei over the years, she is worthy of the saying "an elder sister is like a mother."
