The next day, Jiang Yu was making milk tea in the yard, and Jiang Yunfan was eating buns nearby. When they heard a knock on the door, he said, "My friend is here," and ran away.
After hearing this, Jiang Yu also walked towards the door curiously. Halfway there, he saw Jiang Yunfan skipping towards him, leading a thin and frail boy with patched clothes.
"Sister, this is my friend Lin Yu."
Jiang Yunfan looked at Lin Yu and introduced her excitedly: "Lin Yu, this is my sister, you can just call me sister like me."
The boy glanced at Jiang Yu and shyly called out, "Sister!"
Jiang Yu was stunned when she heard the boy's name. Wasn't this Jiang Yunfan's right-hand man in the novel? According to the plot, they shouldn't have met yet. Could it be that her arrival accelerated their acquaintance? Would this affect their future achievements?
Jiang Yunfan looked at the dazed Jiang Yu and shouted, "Sister~Sister~"
Jiang Yu suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Lin Yu with a friendly smile and said, "Hello, Lin Yu."
Then she turned around and asked Grandpa Jiang to take care of the arrangements himself, and then cooked the remaining milk tea. She went to the kitchen to busy herself, and after saying that, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Jiang Yunfan stared at his sister's back in shock. He touched his head and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what happened to my sister?"
Grandpa Jiang shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
The young man beside him nudged Jiang Yunfan with an uneasy look on his face and said, "Maybe your sister doesn't like me. Otherwise, I'd better go back first!"
Jiang Yunfan patted his arm and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, my sister is the best. She must have encountered something. You stay here with grandpa first, I'll go take a look."
The young man looked at Jiang Yunfan and nodded trustingly.
Jiang Yunfan strode towards the kitchen, then moved to Jiang Yu's side and said, "Sister, do you dislike Lin Yu?"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment: "No, why do you say that?"
Jiang Yunfan scratched his hair: "I feel like you don't seem that happy to see Lin Yu."
Jiang Yu shook her head. "No, I just thought of something. Tell me about Lin Yu. He's only twelve or thirteen, so why is he already working? Is his family financially struggling?"
Jiang Yunfan grabbed Jiang Yu's sleeve and said in a pitiful tone, "Sister, Lin Yu is very pitiful. He is an orphan. His parents died when he was very young. He grew up with his grandparents, but his grandparents treated him very badly. Sometimes they even refused to give him food."
"He grew up begging. Last time, when I went to the countryside with Grandpa Wei, I saw him picking up scraps and being bullied. Later, I accidentally slipped in the river, and he ignored his injuries and came to save me, so I wanted to help him."
Jiang Yu's expression was also somewhat moved after hearing this: "It's quite pitiful to hear you say that."
Jiang Yunfan shook Jiang Yu's arm and asked, "Sister, can he stay?"
Jiang Yu raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Are you making this up just to make me sympathize with him?"
Jiang Yunfan quickly said, "How is that possible? If you don't believe me, go ask Grandpa Wei."
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let him do it first. Whether he can do it or not depends on his performance. But the wages will definitely not be as much as the adults."
Jiang Yunfan laughed and said, "That's okay. Lin Yu said as long as he can support himself, thank you, sister."
Seeing his frivolous appearance, Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at him and waved her hand, saying, "Go, go, go! Hurry up and go to school. Don't bother me here."
As soon as Jiang Yunfan left, Lin Yu looked at him with a worried look on his face.
Jiang Yunfan walked over, squatted down, patted his shoulder, and then whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, my sister is a very kind person."
After hearing Jiang Yunfan's words, Lin Yu relaxed a little and forced a smile.
Jiang Yunfan said a few words and went to school.
Grandpa Jiang saw the two of them whispering together, smiled and didn't care. Now all the family affairs were decided by Jiang Yu, and he would not interfere too much.
After Jiang Yu finished working in the kitchen, she asked Lin Yu to help them move the food to the dining cart.
Now that he had work to do, Lin Yu seemed much more at ease.
After dinner, Jiang Yu left Jiang Yunzhou at Grandma Shen's house so that Grandpa Jiang and the others would not be able to take care of the little guy when they were at the stall.
After Grandpa Jiang and the others left, Jiang Yu ran to order the glass cabinets and ovens needed for the store.
If she only sold milk tea and popcorn in the store as she had previously planned, it would seem a bit of a waste, so she planned to run the business according to the model of the snack bar in her previous life.
In addition to milk tea and popcorn, she also plans to make double skin milk, yogurt, cakes, bread, hamburgers, sandwiches, and some snacks she has made before. However, to do this, she will need to recruit someone with good character who is not likely to run away to learn, otherwise she will not be able to handle it all by herself.
The more I think about it, the more things I feel, and the balder I become.
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time. Now that the cabinets and ovens have been ordered, let’s order the tables and chairs.
She went to the department store and walked around the furniture section and found that the prices were very expensive.
The set of tables and chairs she liked cost 40 yuan, which was almost as much as her two months' shop rent.
After looking around, I decided to give up. It would be better to find someone to make it custom-made with this money.
As soon as she left, a young man caught up with her, "Sister! Big sister!"
Jiang Yu looked back at him in disbelief. This was the first time she was called "big sister".
"Are you calling me?"
The young man walked closer and saw that it was a girl about his age. He rubbed his head a little embarrassedly and said with a simple smile, "Excuse me, comrade, are you buying furniture?"
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "I want to order a few sets of tables and chairs, but they are too expensive here." She sighed.
The boy said, "Yeah! I also think the things here are expensive. One set alone is enough for our family's living expenses for several months."
Jiang Yu looked back at him and asked in confusion, "Aren't you an employee here?"
The boy shook his head: "No."
Jiang Yu then realized something was wrong and looked at him warily: "What about you?"
The young man was a little embarrassed and whispered, "My grandfather is a carpenter and made a lot of furniture, so I thought I'd try my luck and see if anyone would buy it. Don't worry, I'm not forcing you to buy anything, and the furniture my grandfather made is better than anything you can buy here."
Jiang Yu asked calmly, "What's the price?"
The boy was delighted after hearing this: "It must be much cheaper than here."
Jiang Yu looked at the boy's thin figure and asked, "Is it far?"
The young man hurriedly said, "Not far, not far, I'll take you there right away."
After leaving the department store, the two of them walked towards the place where the boy was.
Jiang Yu tilted her head to look at the boy and asked, "Why did you come to the department store to solicit business?"
The boy scratched his head and said shyly, "The furniture in the department store is so expensive, there must be very few people who can afford it. I came here just to introduce the furniture in my house."
Jiang Yu's eyes showed admiration: "You are a good businessman."
Jiang Yu followed the boy and turned left and right and soon arrived at the place the boy mentioned. It was a large courtyard. When he pushed the door open, he saw various wooden furniture placed in the courtyard. The styles looked more textured than those in the store.
