Chen Xiaoying was stunned for a moment. If this happened in a normal family, a married daughter would have to bring her child with her when she returned to her parents' home, no matter what difficulties she faced.
Because children are the continuation of parents' love for their daughter. Looking at children, it is as if they are seeing their daughter when she was a child. They love them doubly and no amount of love is enough.
If you dare to go back without your child, they will look down on you no matter how you look at you: "Why did you come back when your child isn't even here?"
In her previous life, no matter how disappointing her second daughter Li Hongli was, her love for her granddaughter Xu Xiaoni was genuine. She even felt pity for her and loved her more than her own granddaughter.
Ma Hongxiu doesn't take care of the children, not any of the three children. Suddenly, Chen Xiaoying feels that something is wrong.
Ma Hongxiu has been abroad for more than 20 years and has only returned once.
Why does she feel uneasy when he suddenly comes back this time?
"Try the red bean paste bun and see how the filling I made is." Su Wanping brought a red bean paste bun to Chen Xiaoying.
Chen Xiaoying’s store only sells two kinds of sweet buns, one with date paste filling and the other with red bean paste filling.
Other people also have red bean paste buns, but they are all red bean paste mud. Hers are directly boiled into semi-granular form. People can tell at a glance that they are made of red beans.
Because it is in granular form, if the sweetness is not well controlled, or the beans are not cooked enough, it will easily lose its flavor.
"Okay, I'll try it." Chen Xiaoying was eating buns in the new store.
Li Yutong just lay down at home. She slept until she woke up naturally. She felt bored, so she came to the store to take a look.
There was basically no one in the hot pot restaurant after ten o'clock.
When He Mingliang saw her coming, he realized that after more than a year of experience, the twenty-year-old boy seemed much more mature.
Sitting next to him was He Zixuan.
"Are you here?" He Zixuan smiled brightly.
"Do you want to eat hotpot?" Li Yutong sat over with a smile.
"Eat." He Zixuan said straightforwardly.
"Are you having breakfast or lunch?" Li Yutong looked at the clock on the wall, which pointed to ten thirty-nine.
"Breakfast and lunch together, you can eat as much as you want, I promise to eat my fill." He Zixuan patted his belly.
Li Yutong was a little conflicted: "No, if you really want to eat it, just eat a little and taste it, don't eat too much."
She was worried that he had a bad stomach and what would happen if he had diarrhea tomorrow.
He Zixuan didn't have this problem: "It's okay."
In fact, as long as it is clean and hygienic and the food is not irritating, there should be no such problem.
Because the weather is hot, in order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients and soup, the hot pot restaurant will immediately remove any problems with the ingredients, such as the various meatballs, if they are not right.
Li Yutong, He Zixuan and He Mingliang were chatting.
He Zixuan knew that He Mingliang planned to leave after he passed Li Yutong's college entrance examination. Now the old employees in the store have picked out the most suitable candidate and have been training him for three months, and he can take office at any time.
He Zixuan asked: "Where are you going to go after you resign?"
He Mingliang has a vocational school degree. After graduation, their students are basically sent directly to some electronics factories to work on the assembly lines. He Mingliang did not go with the class because Li Yutong needed someone and he had no money. He stayed here for more than a year.
Now that I have money in my pocket, I want to go out and try my luck: "Let me look around and see what I can do."
He didn't consider the electronics factory. He had heard from his classmates that most positions required twelve hours of work. The day shift was easier, but the night shift was so hard that some people fell asleep while standing at two or three in the morning without even realizing it. One of his classmates dozed off and the machine was lowering with materials. He didn't know it and got a bloody head on it. Fortunately, the material was a newly made plastic product and was still soft, so no more terrible consequences were caused.
Now that he has some money saved in his pocket, he doesn't want to go through this hardship.
Li Yutong nodded.
This is how she convinced He Mingliang at that time. If he had no money in his pocket and went out to work, he had to bite the bullet and do it even if he encountered an unsuitable job, otherwise he would not have enough food to eat if he resigned.
Once you have saved enough money, if you encounter a mean boss or an unsuitable job, you can change it in time. You can also find a few more jobs to try to see which one you are really suitable for.
Thinking back to her previous life when she was working, she had no money in her pocket and the first job she found was in sales. She made sales calls for the first three days of the week and was scolded every day. The remaining three days she went to the roadside to sell products. If people ignored her, she would just throw the products on the ground and you had to pick them up.
The psychological pressure was very great. She didn't want to please others, but if she didn't, she wouldn't have enough to eat. After working for half a year, she developed breast hyperplasia. She had some savings at that time, so she changed to a job as an accounting assistant.
To put it nicely, it's an accounting assistant, but in fact, it's someone who does odd jobs in the office. They can be called an accounting assistant, or a clerk, a cleaner, a tea boy, etc. The work is quite diverse and the salary is not high, but these are the only people you come into contact with at work, and they are all colleagues, so no one gives you a hard time.
At the same time, she had more free time after get off work, so she took the accounting certificate exam.
She has always believed that arranging one's own employment channels reasonably is a very important thing for one's entire life.
The right channels can enable people to achieve progress in a good and sustainable working environment.
Bad channels will only waste your youth and time. Once you become unemployed at the age of 35, it will be difficult to find a job again. Apart from the burden of family, a 35-year-old woman cannot compete with young people in their twenties.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Li Yutong said that she wanted to go out for a walk. Her busy study life had made her not go shopping for a long time, so she wanted to take a look at her shops.
He Zixuan thought about it and suddenly chased after him.
He Mingliang sighed and said, "Don't you want to eat hot pot?"
He Zixuan caught up with Li Yutong and asked about something related to Shen Jiaze: "Didn't he call you?"
Li Yutong glanced at him: "No, what's wrong?"
He Zixuan thought about it and thought that the college entrance examination was very important. Didn’t Shen Jiaze call to cheer Li Yutong up?
"Nothing?" Shen Jiaze didn't hit him, so he didn't hit him. He must have his reasons.
Some time ago, Li Yutong borrowed 300,000 yuan from Shen Jiaze, but her grandmother Chen Xiaoying found out and immediately gave her some of her savings to prevent her from taking Shen Jiaze's money.
It’s hard to explain later.
Li Yutong didn't understand why he couldn't explain it clearly. She would definitely pay back the money and would also take the initiative to calculate Shen Jiaze's share of the profits.
"I'll treat you to ice cream. It's so hot." The sun was extremely hot at 11 o'clock.
"You haven't eaten yet. Never mind, let's go eat first." She was afraid that he would get a stomachache because she was eating cold ice cream on an empty stomach.
The two went to the shop of Li Yutong's grandmother Chen Xiaoying together.
Everyone ordered fried chicken and rice, and today's side dishes are sour fried tomato and potato shreds, and salty and tasty mapo tofu.
