"I know you are filial, so there is no rush for this matter. We need to think about it in the long run."
He also wanted to live with his children and grandchildren around him, but the reality was not that simple. Wouldn't it cost money to rent a house? How did the old couple make a living here? The little girl hadn't found a place to stay yet, and it was unknown whether she could pass the exam this year.
"Okay, you have to keep this in mind anyway. You and my aunt are both old, and Shuangxi has to go to school. Fang Ming and I are worried about you without anyone around.
You don’t have to worry about your life. With this store, our family will never be short of food.”
Xiang Nuan knew his concerns and tried her best to reduce them.
Yan Mancang nodded, feeling very relieved. His son and daughter-in-law were both filial and good children. He was blessed.
It has been several days since Xiang Nuan’s customized shelves and counters were completed. She contacted the carpenter to have them delivered.
A business license must also be arranged. Fortunately, there are fewer people applying for it now, so it can be done on the same day.
An auspicious day was chosen, which was three days later, for the official opening. During this time, Wu Qian and Shuang Xi were given some detailed training. After all, the most important thing was to lead customers enthusiastically and not to be like some sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperative who were arrogant and indifferent.
"Sister-in-law, if I don't get into college, I'll just keep helping out in your store!"
After spending a few days in Beijing, Shuangxi saw the prosperity of the big city and didn't want to go back to that small mountain village anymore. She also wanted to settle down in the big city like her sister-in-law.
Xiang Nuan smiled and tapped her forehead. "You said you did well in the exam this time. What if you pass? Don't say discouraging words."
Shuangxi pursed her lips and sighed, "Alas, I don't have any confidence. If I fail the exam this time, I really can't continue to study. Maybe I won't be able to go to university."
Xiang Nuan pinched her face and said, "Sister-in-law understands how you feel. Anyway, the exams are over. Don't think about it for now. Wait until the results come out. Just work hard for me these days!"
Shuangxi instantly put on a smiling expression, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will do my best!"
"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law won't treat you badly. You'll be treated the same as Wu Qian for these two months, twenty-five a month."
"Wow! Sister-in-law, you are so nice! I love you so much!"
When Shuangxi heard that he also had a salary, he jumped and danced excitedly while hugging her.
Yan Mancang on the side said, "Why should we give money to a family? What does she need so much money for? Don't give it to her."
Shuangxi was so angry when she heard this that she reached out to pull her father's beard, "Dad! Why are you so annoying? I hate you so much!"
"Hiss~ You naughty monkey just deserve a beating!"
Yan Mancang was so hurt by the pinch that he raised his hand to hit her, but Shuangxi hid behind Xiang Nuan and made faces at him, "Lululu~ You can't hit me!"
Yan Mancang was helpless, "You are already a grown-up girl but you still act like a silly girl all day long."
Xiang Nuan was very envious of the innocent Shuangxi. He had a happy family, was loved by his parents and spoiled by his brother. Although he was not rich, he was raised by his whole family and had never been hungry or lacked anything. This was already better than most people.
Sometimes being heartless is a kind of happiness. People who mature early are usually forced to experience too much, and such people live too tiringly.
