"Boss, let's settle the bill! I want both of these noodles."

"120 in total. Thank you, and you're welcome to come again."

The old man's eyes turned red, staring at the money Jiang Li put in without blinking. Chen Xianyun could tell at once that the old man had bad intentions, and his heart sank.

He would come into the store from time to time, either smoking and making the customers unhappy, or staring at the cash register, or just hanging around himself.

Seeing that he was refusing to leave like a fly, Chen Xianyun was so angry that he picked up a broom and hit him, cursing, "Get away! You shameless old man!"

Your wife is dead and you dare to come out and criticize women. You are a pervert and a heartless person. Get out!"

Gu Zhanjin was not angry when he was driven away. He just didn't believe that a virtuous woman was afraid of being clingy. He came more often and gave her some gifts.

This old widow has tasted manliness, how could she possibly keep it?

When he gets Chen Xianyun, the clothing store will also be his. How can a woman manage such a prosperous store?

It’s better for him to take care of it.

The day before the holiday, Jiang Li posted a notice in the store that the store was closed for the holiday and gave red cards to the employees.

Needless to say, Wang Juan is the one who works the hardest and has hardly had any holidays this month.

Even Ding Meifang, who hadn't worked for a full month, got a red card. When she opened it, she found that it was actually five big reunions.

Wang Juan received the thick red envelope, her eyes turned red, "Boss..."

"Thank you for your hard work today. Let's keep working hard tomorrow and make money together."

Jiang Li doesn't know how to be a boss, but she knows that a boss who is willing to pay money will have employees who work hard.

Today the two women are busy with their careers, and all the groceries at home are prepared by the old lady Qi Shaoqiang.

Jiang Li made money, and she would never treat herself badly on food and drink.

Especially after the reform and opening up, more and more things have appeared on the market. You can buy seafood that was not available in Yongfang County before, such as shrimp, hairtail and kelp.

Together with the various fruits, fresh fish, and supplements sent by Fang Peilan, tonight's dinner was a real feast.

Braised whole chicken: braise the fried chicken in soy sauce and rice wine for ten minutes, then add bamboo shoots to enhance the flavor.

Sweet and sour yellow croaker, the secret is lard, garlic and meat smeared with sweet and sour sauce, it is so delicious.

Stir-fried double flower, which is fried squid and pork leg, is stir-fried over high heat and tastes crispy, tender and delicious.

A pot is placed in the middle of the vegetables, with cabbage slices and vermicelli as the base, and fish balls, meatballs, egg rolls, and green vegetable hearts on top. In the middle is ham slices to enhance the flavor, and meat soup is poured in, making it taste delicious.

These dishes were all researched by Qi Shaoqiang after looking at recipes. Jiang Li's appetite has changed these days and she likes fresh food the most, so Qi Shaoqiang cooks for her in different ways.

There were bursts of firecrackers. As soon as it got dark, people who couldn't wait started to eat their dinner. Qi Shaoqiang raised his glass of fruit wine, old lady Chen Xianyun also raised her glass, Jiang Li used apple juice instead of wine, and the whole family clinked their glasses.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Mom has worked hard running around the store, and the old lady and Shao Qiang have been in charge of the back office, and they are also great ministers."

Chen Xianyun smiled from ear to ear, "Lizi, you are the one who works the hardest. You are going to school, doing business, and having a child. You are the biggest servant in our family.

Without you, there would be no happy life in our family."

Qi Shaoqiang also looked at Jiang Li, his eyes full of affection, "Wife, you have worked hard."

"I hope that everyone will be healthy and safe tomorrow, that Li Zi and Shao Qiang will have smooth studies and work, and that their business will get better and better!"

"Come on, let's raise a toast and celebrate our harvest together."

Such joy spread to every household. In the small house rented by Wang Juan, the two of them sat around the small dining table. Wang Juan kept picking up food for her sister, "Sister, eat more. Eat the chicken leg!"

"Juan, eat it."

Wang Juan smiled and said, "We can afford chicken now, so we can eat a few in one go!"

She picked up another chicken leg and put it in her bowl, then started eating it in big mouthfuls. While she was eating, Wang Fen started to cry.

They seldom ate meat at home before. Sometimes they could have some meat, but chicken legs were never for the two sisters. They only got them for the two younger brothers.

If she even glanced at Jiacai for a second longer, she would be beaten. Slaps, hitting with fire pokers, or having her hair grabbed and slammed on the table were all common occurrences.

The room was cozy and the charcoal in the charcoal basin was burning perfectly, emitting tiny sparks.

Both of them were wearing new clothes, there were delicious food on the table, and their loved ones were around them.

Such happy and peaceful days are just like a dream.

Wang Juan wiped her sister's tears with her sleeve and took out the big red envelope Jiang Li gave her from her pocket. "Sister, look, this is the bonus given by our boss."

She took apart the red paper, and the new big group poured all over the table, there were ten of them.

She worked for five months in total, earning more than fifteen hundred yuan including base salary and commission. Her sister spent more than five hundred yuan on surgery, and her daily food, drink and rent were not too much.

In the end, including this, Wang Juan actually had nearly eight hundred yuan in hand.

"Sister, we can buy a house after this. I asked around and found out that a one-bedroom apartment like the one we live in now doesn't cost a lot of money and can be fully purchased within five years.

But I'm thinking of saving up another two months' money and buying a three-bedroom, one-living room house, so we can each have a room."

Wang Fen looked at her excited sister, feeling a little guilty in addition to her happiness, "Sister is useless. If it weren't for my illness, you would have been able to buy a house a long time ago."

"Sister, why are you saying this? You are the only relative I have in this world. Just being with me is more important than any money or house. Don't ever say such things again!"

"Juan... I thought, when my leg is healed, I will go out to work. We are living together, and I can't let you earn money to support the family alone."

"Okay, sister, tell me what you want to do and I'll give you some ideas."

Wang Juan understands her sister. She has a gentle personality and is thoughtful. She would get daydreamy if she stayed at home all the time. If she could go out and work, it would be good for her sister's physical and mental health.

Wang Fen actually hasn't made up her mind yet. "I don't have any literary skills. If someone wants me, I can do anything. I can be a nanny or work on a construction site. It's all fine."

"You can't do heavy work! Sister, the doctor said that although your leg has been relocated, it is an old injury, so you have to take good care of it in the future. You can't do heavy work, otherwise your leg will hurt on cloudy days or rainy days."

"Then what can I do? I can't just eat here!" Wang Fen was really anxious. According to her personality, she was really restless after recuperating for so many months.

"Sister, don't worry. Our boss is a college student, smart, and more thoughtful than us. Let's go to visit her tomorrow and ask our boss while we're at it."

"Okay. Bring the sausage and bacon we stuffed tomorrow."

"Don't worry, sister. I've already prepared it."
