Chapter 181 Going Home for the New Year
As soon as the Little New Year was over, Liu Rong couldn't wait to go home.
My in-laws' mother-in-law was invited to our house for the first time to celebrate the New Year. No one had lived there for a long time, so she had to go back home to clean the house and prepare New Year's goods. If she went back any later, it would be too late.
On the day of the Little New Year, the family gathered together for a meal, and Uncle Li not surprisingly joined the family gathering again.
During the meal, Uncle Li told Liu Rong.
"You don't have to close the store. If you trust me, I'll come to collect your sales money every day."
Liu Rong was very grateful for this and nodded repeatedly, "I trust you, I trust you. Of course I can trust you, but it's too much trouble for you."
To be honest, these two days are the busiest time for the store, and several stores are going to close. Liu Rong is really reluctant to let them go, but if she doesn't close, there are still so many things waiting for her to deal with at home. Moreover, although each store has selected a store manager according to Rong Mei's suggestion, the store manager only takes care of the affairs of his own store, and the daily turnover is collected by Liu Rong on time every day.
She will be gone for so many days, especially during the year-end when business is good and the turnover is high. If the daily turnover is handed over to the store managers of each store, it will be a considerable sum in ten days or half a month. To be honest, Liu Rong really doesn't believe it.
Although they get along well with each other on a daily basis and there are no conflicts, and everyone is respectful to her as the boss, one must still be on guard against others.
When it comes to interests in an employment relationship, it is inevitable that people will be jealous and tempted.
If the person ran away with the money, where could she go to ask for the money? Should she report to the police? The person had gone into hiding, and it would take a long time to get the money back.
Just when she was worried, Uncle Li came to her aid and almost moved Liu Rong to death.
She could trust Uncle Li's character based on her intuition.
Uncle Li smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not very busy these two days anyway. Just treat it as a way to digest the food after dinner."
After the banquet, Liu Rong took Uncle Li to visit various stores and gave clear instructions to the people in each store. After she left, Uncle Li would collect the turnover and account books every day.
After visiting the last store, Uncle Li went back.
At this time, Rong Mei suggested, "Mom, I'll go see Uncle Li off."
Liu Rong didn't think much about it. There happened to be someone else in the store looking at clothes, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Rong Mei followed Uncle Li for a while, and when they saw that they were not far from the noodle shop, Rong Mei smiled and said to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, have you really considered not going back with us to celebrate the New Year?"
Uncle Li stopped and stared in the direction of the noodle shop. After he sighed deeply, he put on a smile again. "Girl, thank you for your invitation. I'm used to being alone for so many years. Just live here. It's the same."
He raised his hand in the air, signaling Rong Mei not to see him off, "Alright, stop seeing me off, let's go back. It's just a few steps away, I can go back by myself."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward without waiting for Rong Mei to reply.
Rong Mei stood still, just looking at Uncle Li's back quietly, her shoulders slightly raised, then slowly lowered, her steps one deep and one shallow...
This back view made Rong Mei feel a little sad unconsciously.
"Uncle Li!" He blurted out without thinking and called the man back.
Uncle Li turned around in confusion and grinned, "What's wrong, girl?"
Rong Mei walked quickly forward and swiftly took out the pen and paper she carried with her from her pocket. She quickly wrote a line of words on the paper, then folded it up and stuffed it into Uncle Li's hand.
"Uncle Li, take this." Rong Mei didn't say anything else. Without waiting for Uncle Li's reaction, she left quickly.
Uncle Li looked at Rong Mei's back as she left, then lowered his head and glanced at the paper in his hand.
He unfolded the paper, and after a moment, folded it up again and put it in his pocket...
The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Early in the morning, the family packed up and set off.
Zhou Dabao sat in the back row, held by Liu Rong, clapping his hands and laughing with joy, "It's great, I can finally go back to Harbin for the New Year!!!"
Zhou Nanxu was driving at the moment, and Rong Mei was sitting in the passenger seat. She turned around and asked Zhou Dabao with a smile, "Why, Dabao, do you think this place is not good?"
Zhou Dabao stopped talking and answered Rong Mei in a baby voice, "It's good here. Here are grandma, uncle, aunt, and daddy too."
After that, he added seriously, "But grandma said that we are going back to Harbin to celebrate the New Year. Grandpa is still at home. We have made some money this year, so we have to go back and set off a firecracker for Grandpa to let him know, and then burn some money for him to buy delicious food."
"Grandpa is not as greedy as you." Zhou Zhengfu was amused by his son's childish words. Since coming here, he has had an income. With the addition of Liu Rong and Zhou Nanxu's pampering, the little guy has never been short of snacks. His mouth has become more and more greedy and picky.
"Hmph, that must be because you didn't buy what Grandpa likes to eat." Zhou Dabao clasped his hands, obviously not convinced by his father's sabotage.
Seeing his son like this, Zhou Zhengfu laughed out loud, "Wow, after a few days of school, this little mouth is getting more and more talkative. It seems that the schooling and tuition fees are not in vain."
Zhou Dabao is almost four years old. According to the standards of city dwellers, he should have started school a long time ago. That's why he was not sent to school in the countryside. So as soon as he arrived, Zhou Nanxu found a kindergarten and sent the little guy to school.
Firstly, Zhou Zhengfu can also work during the day, and secondly, Liu Rong can have more relaxation during the day.
It must be said that Zhou Dabao has grown visibly since going to school. First of all, he has become more generous and outgoing and not so shy.
Always being "bullied" by his own father, the little guy immediately knew to hold his thigh and complain, "Grandma, look, daddy is laughing at me again."
Liu Rong immediately cooperated, "Okay, I'll take good care of him later. It's totally unreasonable. How dare you laugh at our Dabao."
"Granny, what do you think that is?"
"Grandma, what do you think this is?"
"Dad, I need to pee."
"Granny, I want some water."
"Aunt, when will you and uncle have a baby? I'm the eldest, so my name is Dabao. So should aunt and uncle's baby be called Xiaobao?"
In the first few hours after departure, the entire car was filled with Zhou Dabao's voice, chattering, it was so lively...
