Upon hearing this, Xu An turned his head and saw that the person who had come was Xu Dongliang.
"Work hard, going to university isn't the only way out." Xu Dongliang patted Xu An on the shoulder again, then turned and called on Xu Heping and the others to help with the arrangements.
Xu An was a little confused. How did Uncle Liang know that he didn't plan to go to university? No one except his grandmother had told him. Xu An's gaze suddenly turned to his grandmother.
Grandma Xu had already gotten out of the car, leaning on a cane made of tree branches, looking at the shop with a look of satisfaction. She turned her head to meet Xu An's gaze, smiled at him, and said, "Work hard."
At 8:42, the lion dance troupe began to perform, attracting many people to stop and watch.

The lion dance troupe didn't stop until 9:20. They sat down in the restaurant, drinking water and chatting while waiting for dinner. This was one of the rewards Xu An had promised.

An hour and a half later, the dishes for today were cooked and laid out on the large steel table in the kitchen.
Liang Dani and Xu Heping had already started packing the boxed meals, while Xu An and Zhou Qi each carried a large basin of vegetables to the store's business area outside the kitchen.
Opposite the cashier's counter was a second-hand hot food station that I had recently bought. It was already plugged in and waiting for the food to arrive.
