"I bought candied haws for Baiyu and An'an. Let's give them some tomorrow."
"Thank you for thinking of the children."
"It's my duty. Thanks to Sister Ying for giving me a place to live when I was in trouble. Oh, and now I've thought of a way to make money."
"What's the way to make money?"
“I secretly made some pies in the shop, and after my cousin’s wife collected the money and left, I took the basket and went to the bus station and sold cakes and pies there.
I made a dozen pies today and sold them all."
"Not bad, but the store is quite far from the bus station. You won't walk there, will you?"
Tongtong didn't feel tired, she smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I hawked all the way and sold a few on the way."
"The bus station is bustling with people, so it must be selling well. Why don't you go to the train station?"
"I think the train station doesn't allow people to sell things alone. I haven't tried it."
"You can go and have a look. I think they sell more at the train station than at the bus station."
"Then I'll go over and try tomorrow. Thank you, Sister Ying, for helping me and not telling my cousin's wife about my situation. Thank you."
"Your aunt wasn't doing it right in the first place. If you want to use the kitchen in the future, feel free to do so."
"Thank you, Sister Ying. You are the best person I have ever met. Apart from my mother, no one has ever been so kind to me since I was a child."
Tongtong didn't know how many times she said thank you that night. Seeing Ying Han was so willing to help her, her heart suddenly felt sad, her eyes turned red, and her voice choked.
She hadn't felt this kind of care for a long time.
Although she only earned a few dollars today, she was happy in her heart.
If I sell five yuan a day, the cost is just over two yuan, so I can earn three yuan a day, which means ninety yuan a month.
This is because she prepared less today. If she prepared more, she could earn more.
She was so happy that she wanted to share it with others.
"Sister Ying, I don't have many friends here. I really treat you as a sister and a friend. Actually, I want to earn more money to save for school tuition. My mother is an uneducated person. She suffered a lot in her life and never had a good life until she died. I don't want to be like my mother, so I want to go to school. I used to have good grades and I'm already in the first year of high school. In two years, I will be able to take the college entrance examination.
But my adoptive father doesn't want to support me anymore. I know he has his own difficulties, so now that I can earn money, I want to save some money for a few years and go to college on my own."
"Going to school is a good thing, I support you. I won't tell your cousin's wife about this. Oh, by the way, you can ride the bicycle at home. That was Hua Niu's bicycle before. I don't usually ride a bicycle when I go out."
"Thank you so much, Sister Ying. You've helped me so much, I can't just use your things for free. Let me give you the money to rent a bicycle."
"No need to pay for the bicycles, just let us all taste the pie you made. It's getting late, so go get some rest."
Tongtong nodded repeatedly, feeling so excited that she couldn't sleep at all.
But thinking that I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow, I forced myself to sleep.
It rains a lot in winter in NJ. Even though it rains these days, Tongtong goes out every night without fail.
Maybe it’s because I made money, so no matter how tired I am, I am happy and have a smile on my face every day.
Jia Ying seems to be busy these days, and no one knows what he is busy with. Apart from collecting money in the store every day, he hardly ever goes there.
This also gives Tongtong a lot of time to do her own things.
...
"There's still more than a week until the holiday. I'll pick you up in a few days."
"Actually, you don't have to come to pick me up. I can go back with the kids by myself. I've already prepared gifts for my family.
Oh, by the way, I bought some candied lotus roots yesterday. Please take some time to give to both sets of parents. This candied lotus root is best used to make candied lotus root porridge."
"Wait until Chinese New Year to give something different."
"During the Chinese New Year, we always eat big fish and meat, but we can't even have this."
"Okay, I'll send it over in the next two days."
"By the way, has it snowed in City A recently?"
"No, but it's expected to snow in the next two days, and the sky will be very gloomy. We have heating at home, so it's better. You must stay warm over there and don't make me worry."
"We are fine. Ren Yu next door has caught a cold several times, and our two children are in good health too."
Deng Chen smiled with concern. "It would be suspicious if the two children had never been sick since they were young. Even a child with a healthy body would have a headache or fever. It's not good for our two children to be too special."
Ying Han listened to Deng Chen's worried words and chuckled, "It's good to be in good health, and who knows whether you will get sick or not. We are here now and have no relatives, so no one else will care about this.
If we really go home and the elders ask about it, we can just say we caught a cold twice here, right? "
"That's true. The children are still young now, so they don't understand. When they grow up and become more sensitive, they will realize it themselves. Don't let them drink the water in the space in the future."
"Yeah, I understand."
After Deng Chen and Ying Han separated, he came out of the space and took out two or three boxes of candied lotus roots.
That afternoon, a box was delivered to the Ying family.
Said it was brought back from outside.
Ying's mother and father invited him to have dinner at their home and insisted that he stay overnight.
He said he was alone at home and couldn't take care of himself, so he probably didn't eat much in the morning.
Deng Chen had no choice but to listen to his father-in-law and mother-in-law and stayed at home for one night.
I was originally thinking of having dinner at my father-in-law's house and then going to Deng's house to deliver the things.
It seems that it can only be done tomorrow.
The next day, Ying's mother stewed crucian carp soup for Deng Chen early in the morning. He drank a bowl of soup and ate two buns.
Deng Chen has recently been negotiating with his superiors about the land on the North Third Ring Road.
Finally, a large area was cleared for use as a park.
Of course, Deng Chen couldn't afford to suffer any loss, so he asked for a large piece of land in the east.
However, the east side is now a wasteland, and it is estimated that there will be no development there in the next ten years or so.
But Deng Chen wants the one over there.
The higher-ups were happy to give it to us because the land there was of little use anyway and the price was cheap. They gave us an area that was twice the size of the park.
"Brother Chen, we spent so much money to buy such a large piece of land. We won't have to wait more than ten years to develop it, right? I think more than ten years is too long. The government still doesn't know how to plan it."
"Who said we have to wait for residential development after buying the land? We can first lease out the land for five years. They can plant fruit trees, build fish ponds, and farmland. They can do whatever they want.
We can earn around 10,000 yuan a year, which is the interest we earn. I think that housing prices will continue to rise, so it would be better if we keep the property for a few years and then develop it to double the price.
Next year, take a break and plan this piece of land in the Third Ring Road. Don’t you want a house here? If you have any ideas, talk to your sister-in-law first.”
