Sure enough, Uncle Ye’s house was very lively, and Ye’s father and mother were both there.
Seeing Ye Xiaomei and He Xiaochao running with sweat all over their faces, grandpa and grandma quickly called them over.
"Why are you two sweating so much? Come over here and wipe yourself off. Go drink some hot water. You've taken a belly full of cold air and are sweating again. Don't catch a cold soon."
The two looked at each other, walked over obediently, picked up the hot water on the table, and drank it with slurps.
Ye Xiaogu stayed at home for a day and prepared to return to Beijing the next day.
Ye Jiaying was preparing to go back with Ye Xiaogu. As the Chinese New Year was less than ten days away, she also wanted to go to the store to check on the holiday.
Uncle Ye drove here, so I could just get a ride.
When Ye's mother heard that she was going to the store to count the inventory for the New Year, she did not stop her.
Ye Jiaying suggested taking Ye Xiaomei along, and she agreed.
I just asked Ye Xiaomei to be a good girl, follow her sister closely and not run around.
The next day, after lunch, Aunt Ye took the two Ye sisters back to Beijing.
The uncle-in-law took the two of them directly to Ye Jiaying's fruit shop.
Ye Jiaying suggested bringing some fruit for her aunt, but she refused repeatedly.
"You always bring fruit when you visit my house, and you even brought some during holidays. No, no, you two can come to my house for dinner tomorrow."
After saying this, without waiting for Ye Jiaying to make any move, the uncle stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"Don't bring any fruit tomorrow."
Ye Xiaogu leaned over the car window and shouted at Ye Jiaying.
Ye Jiaying waved to the departing car and took Ye Xiaomei into the store.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the fruit shop’s business is even better.
During the big festival that happens once a year, people who don’t have the means to buy fruits regularly are willing to spend money to buy some rare fruits to entertain their guests.
Regular customers of the store buy more and give gifts to relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year with fruits that are not usually available.
Han Xiaomei's voice was hoarse. When she saw Ye Jiaying coming, she smiled at her and continued to work.
Ye Jiaying asked Ye Xiaomei to sit in the rest area in the backyard for a while while she helped Han Xiaomei to pay the bill for this group of guests.
Ye Xiaomei nodded obediently and went to the backyard.
The two of them moved much faster. After half an hour, there were fewer people buying, and Han Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, some people want to buy fruits as gifts, so the fruit basket packaging process is busier than before.
When Ye Xiaomei went to the backyard, she found Grandma Sun moving the fruits, putting them into baskets and packing them. She was busy as a top. Without saying a word, she went forward to help.
After helping to collect payments at the front, Ye Jiaying went to the back to help with packaging. The group was busy for the entire afternoon.
The current customer flow is even greater than when the store first opened for promotion. Ye Jiaying had been thinking of doing special sales, but now he has neither the time nor the energy.
After seeing off the last customer and closing the shop door, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
Some fruit baskets had not been packed yet, so Ye Jiaying wrote a note to the customers, asking them to pick them up tomorrow morning.
The next day, he went to his relatives' and friends' houses to use it. I agreed without any urging.
The four of them took a break and then continued to pack the fruit baskets.
Ye Jiaying went out to buy dinner for a few people, and called Ye Xiaogu and Gu Qinglin by the way.
She first told Aunt Ye that the business in the store was too good and she couldn't leave, so she would go to her house for dinner after she was done with the next two days.
Ye Xiaogu immediately asked He Yaochao to help her.
These are her exact words.
"Is the store too busy? Are you short of staff? Ask your brother to help you. He's at home all day and has nothing to do. Let him go and move the boxes to your place."
Ye Jiaying hesitated for a moment and thought it was okay.
A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old can work as a cashier or stock goods.
She agreed and said she would give him a big red envelope.
Ye Xiaogu's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"I don't need a big red envelope, just treat him to a meal and save the family money."
The aunt and niece talked for a few more words and agreed that the cousin would report to the store early the next morning.
After finishing the call with Aunt Ye, Ye Jiaying called Gu Qinglin again.
I told him before that if I come to Beijing, I should call him.
The phone rang twice before it was connected. The person on the other end of the line was her boyfriend, Comrade Lao Gu.
"Hello, who is this?"
His voice was cold and emotionless.
"Lao Gu, it's me. Do you miss me?"
Ye Jiaying spoke in a light tone.
"Xiaoying, where are you calling me from?"
Gu Qinglin recognized her voice immediately and his tone softened.
"Near the fruit shop. I wanted to play with you, but the shop is a bit busy, so I might not be able to play with you."
"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow."
"That's fine, but I might be too busy to talk to you properly."
She was a buyer before, but she didn't expect business to be so good during the Spring Festival. She was completely unprepared. Fortunately, she was going to take a vacation in three days.
By next year, she will have experience.
"Yeah, that's okay."
It's nice to see you.
Gu Qinglin thought to himself.
"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'm going back to eat."
There are three hungry people waiting for her in the store, she can't just sit there and talk on the phone.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Jiaying packed dinner from the nearest restaurant and brought it back to the store.
Fortunately, several restaurants have opened nearby in the past six months and their business hours have been postponed, otherwise they would have to cook for themselves.
After dinner, the four of them packed up the accumulated fruit baskets together before going to rest.
Ye Xiaomei was very well behaved. She didn't ask too many questions and didn't complain of being tired. She would take the initiative to step forward when she saw someone who needed help.
After returning to the courtyard house given by Zheng Ganba, the two sisters simply washed up and went to bed together in Ye Jiaying's room.
When Ye Xiaomei first arrived in a strange place, she was a little scared.
In addition, the two sisters slept together at home, so Ye Jiaying did not resist.
The next morning, the two sisters got up and Ye Xiaomei saw the courtyard. She ran around in the yard happily.
"Sister, how come you have such a big house? It's bigger than ours."
"It's my godfather's house."
Ye Jiaying briefly explained it.
She did not tell Ye's father and mother in detail about how she saved Zheng Anyao.
I mentioned it briefly when I came home to be recognized as my godparent last year, but I didn’t go into detail.
So she certainly couldn't tell the Zheng couple directly about giving her the house.
Otherwise, neither Ye’s father nor his mother would be able to get over it.
If I tell the truth, there will be a lot of things to explain, mainly because this matter doesn't make sense. Don't the parents know what kind of daughter they raised is like?
Her tricks to fool outsiders just don't work.
She didn't want to complicate things, so she just said that the house belonged to Zheng Anyao's father. She was not lying, because the house originally belonged to her godfather, but was later transferred to her.
"Oh, sister, are you staying here temporarily? The yard is so big."
Ye Xiaomei nodded. Her sister's godfather drove a car to their home last year. He must be very rich, so it was normal for him to have such a beautiful little yard.
