Chapter 30: There is nothing in our family that I cannot decide
At twelve o'clock, Liang Xiujuan finally came slowly.
As soon as they met, they started acting out: "Oh... It's so far from the market to here... I'm so tired from walking, I almost got lost..."
Liu Guizhi, who was rolling noodles, chuckled: "You wouldn't lose it even if someone else lost it. I think you're just lazy. Hurry up and get to work!"
Liang Xiujuan pouted her lips without any sympathy.
Liang Xiulan took the bowl back and handed it to her directly: "Wash these bowls first, and then I'll serve you noodles!"
In fact, Liang Xiujuan had been hungry for a long time. Seeing the people at the stall eating happily, her stomach began to growl.
He immediately took the bowl and started washing it vigorously.
Liang Xiulan picked up the rag and wiped the table.
Liang Xiujuan is smart and good at counting money, so Liu Guizhi asked her to come and act as a cashier and wash dishes at the same time.
This way Liang Xiulan has time to help roll the noodles.
With Liang Xiujuan joining us, today wasn't too hectic.
Liang Xiulan and Liang Xiujuan watched the gate and finally saw Zhou Caiju coming out at half past twelve.
"Auntie..."
Liang Xiulan started shouting from a distance.
When Zhou Caiju saw her waving her hand, she immediately walked over with a smile on her face.
Before Zhou Caiju could speak, Liang Xiulan asked, "Second Aunt, have you eaten yet? Would you like a bowl of noodles?"
"No, the rice made in the cafeteria today is not tasty. I just came out to eat noodles."
She deliberately waited until so late to come out, otherwise the female workers who were close to her would definitely follow her out.
Liu Guizhi had just sat down when she heard that she hadn't eaten, so she quickly stood up again to roll noodles.
Liang Xiulan was already standing next to the chopping board at this time.
"I'll do it, you have a good chat with my second aunt."
Actually, I just want to make an appointment with Liang Jianye.
"Cai Ju, where's Jianye? Why didn't he come out with you? I didn't see him yesterday, and I didn't see him today. Why, don't you two get off work at the same time?"
"No, he has meetings, endless meetings all day long."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Anyone who can hold meetings all day long must be a big shot in this factory. I don't believe you if you say he's a team leader!"
"The fact that he can be the team leader is due to the good deeds done by the Liang family's ancestors. Why wouldn't you believe it?"
"Hahaha... You're flattering the Liang family's ancestors. You should say that you married him and brought him blessings, which is why he became the team leader. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be a team leader!"
"Sister-in-law, what you said is true. Isn't it because I married him that he became the team leader?"
The two sisters-in-law started laughing again as they talked.
After Liu Guizhi finished laughing, the smile on her face faded slightly. She moved closer to Zhou Caiju and suddenly became serious.
"When Jianye is free, ask him out. Sister-in-law has something important to discuss with him."
Zhou Caiju heard this and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
"You have no say in anything. I have to talk to him."
Zhou Caiju raised her eyebrows and said, "There's nothing in our family that I can't decide. Sister-in-law, you decide!"
She was worried that Liu Guizhi would ask their family to borrow money. After all, they were just starting their business and would inevitably need to borrow money.
Men are very concerned about their reputation. If Liu Guizhi really asked Liang Jianye for this, Liang Jianye would definitely take some money.
She couldn't let that happen.
Liu Guizhi knew Zhou Caiju well, and seeing her alert expression, she knew what she was thinking.
He patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. It's just a matter of words. It's related to your factory. It's a profitable business. If this deal can be successful, your family will definitely get a share."
If it really works, they, as the middlemen, will naturally be thanked.
When Zhou Caiju heard that it was a profitable business, she immediately smiled again.
"To make money? Are you going to sell shredded pork noodles in the factory?"
"Oh, it's not shredded pork noodles. Don't ask me. I can't explain it to you in detail. Just ask Jianye to come out when he has time."
Finally, Zhou Caiju finished the bowl of shredded pork noodles with suspicion and anticipation.
The taste was as good as ever. She ate a bowl and a half and only put the bowl down when she felt too full.
Pretending to take out money, Liu Guizhi quickly held her hand and said, "We are family, why would you give us money?"
Of course she knew that Liu Guizhi would not accept it, she was just doing it as a token of her appreciation, going through the motions.
"Remember to go back and tell Jianye that this is a profitable business!"
"I understand, don't worry, sister-in-law!"
With a wave of hand, Zhou Caiju returned to the workshop.
The mother and her two daughters were busy until after one o'clock and finally sold all the noodles.
Liu Guizhi sighed: "There are only so many people here at noon, and at most I can only sell this much noodles. There are still so many people around in the afternoon, which is just enough to sell."
Liang Xiulan responded as she packed up her stall: "Well, we made too much and there's all left over. We can't eat a whole fat man in one bite. Let's just do it like this. It's much better than going to work."
At this point, the money has been counted out.
"Wow... I made 24.4 yuan in just one afternoon? That's a lot! Why would I even sell tofu?"
Liu Guizhi poked her on the head.
"I'm asking you to sell tofu not just to earn a dollar. Your grandma is old and can't do the accounting, so I'm asking you to help."
"Even if you make twenty yuan, you still have to sell tofu. Do you understand?"
Liang Xiujuan pouted: "I understand..."
It seems like she has to work two jobs a day.
With a raised eyelid, he reminded Liang Xiulan who was wiping the table again: "Sister! You promised me the candied haws, you can't go back on your word."
"No, no, the candied haws stall will be open this afternoon. I will definitely buy some for you, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Liang Xiujuan happily began to help clean up the stall.
After pushing the cart back to the dormitory and unloading the things, Liu Guizhi urged Liang Xiulan to hurry up and prepare things.
"I can handle washing the pots and dishes by myself. Go buy some chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns first, and then three yuan worth of meat. I think we don't have enough meat."
"Oh, by the way, order some more coal briquettes. These will be all burned in two days."
Liang Xiulan checked the ingredients and nodded in response: "Okay, okay."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Liang Xiujuan hurried to follow her.
"Sister, I'm going too!"
Liang Xiulan was going shopping, so she had to follow her and get some snacks.
Liang Xiulan didn't refuse, she took her hand and went out.
At the market, Liang Xiujuan wanted this and that, but Liang Xiulan refused to buy anything.
“No money!”
"Why don't you have any money? Didn't you make over twenty bucks at noon today?"
“I didn’t take it!”
"How can you buy things if you don't have money?"
"I only took money for shopping."
Liang Xiujuan pouted again and squatted on the ground, refusing to move.
"I work for you, and not only do you not pay me, you don't even buy me good food. I won't come tomorrow!"
Liang Xiulan was helpless: "Didn't I promise to buy you candied haws this afternoon?"
Liang Xiujuan looked up, looking unhappy: "I work for you for a day, and I'm only worth a string of candied haws? Grandma Zhu gives me one yuan a day! I can buy five candied haws..."
The two of them haggled for a long time before Liang Xiulan finally compromised and bought her fifty-cent melon seeds. Liang Xiulan happily followed her and even brought the things back with her when she came back.
