After eating and drinking their fill, Xiao Niangao and her younger siblings were tired from playing and fell asleep in He Tingchuan's arms.
He Tingchuan held his daughter and swatted mosquitoes at her.
Feeling sorry for her daughter being bitten by mosquitoes, she suggested that they leave early and go home to rest.
Yun Jin agreed.
Everyone brought their children, and the kids were all drowsy, so it wasn't good to stay up all night with them.
This is the result of raising a child; for the sake of the child, we have to give up early.
This meal was a gathering of three families. Since Sister-in-law Gao couldn't afford to pay, Yun Jin suggested splitting the cost among the families.
Yun Jin originally wanted to pay the bill herself, knowing that Sister-in-law Gao wouldn't accept it from her.
Then, Wang Xiaoting wanted to eat her pig's trotters, and Yun Jin couldn't stand her trying to take advantage of her.
Yun Jin said, "The pig's trotters weren't charged. Tonight, each family can just contribute four yuan."
Yuan Qing readily gave the money to Sister-in-law Gao.
Wang Xiaoting felt embarrassed to refuse to pay, so she also took out four yuan and gave it to Sister-in-law Gao.
Yun Jin gave four yuan, which Sister Gao accepted. In front of everyone, she felt embarrassed to refuse, lest people say she looked down on others and only gave Yun Jin a free meal, not the others.
Sister-in-law Gao has already delivered several dishes; otherwise, how could you possibly eat so much food for only twelve yuan?
Back home, He Tingchuan used hot water from the thermos to wipe Xiao Niangao's body. The little guy had sweated a lot during the night, and if he didn't wipe his body, he would feel sticky and uncomfortable to sleep.
Knowing that Yun Jin and the others were coming, He Tingchuan had already made a small bed for Xiao Niangao and placed it in the living room, along with a mosquito net, so that Xiao Niangao wouldn't disturb him and his wife as they worked overtime late into the night.
After settling his daughter in, He Tingchuan instructed Doubao, "Keep an eye on her, don't let her roll down."
Doubao let out a soft woof, watched him go back and close the door, then lay down on the floor with his head on his lap. He twitched his ears a few times, heard the sounds inside, and confirmed that they were the same as before, with nothing unusual. Doubao then closed his eyes and went to sleep peacefully.
Meanwhile, Yun Jin and He Tingchuan were getting along very well.
The couple hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, and their argument was incredibly intense.
They returned early and only calmed down after Sister-in-law Gao and the others came back.
He Tingchuan had been holding back for so long, he had to make up for it.
Yun Jin was almost exhausted. The couple tidied up contentedly and went back to sleep.
He Tingchuan knew that one cannot become fat in one bite, and he knew that his wife would not leave so soon, and he did not want to make her too tired, so he was still holding back.
If she really showed her strength, Yun Jin wouldn't even be able to get out of bed, let alone go shopping tomorrow.
The next day, Yun Jin had a sore back and legs. He Tingchuan brought his daughter and dog back from training early in the morning and even brought her some pork offal noodles, knowing that she wanted to eat the canteen food.
After washing up, Yun Jin ate some pork offal noodles and watched He Tingchuan braid Xiao Niangao's hair, one up and one down, one in front and one behind.
It must have been really tough on him, managing to braid Xiao Nian Gao's hair.
He Tingchuan felt embarrassed by her gaze: "I can't do it well, you can re-do Nian Gao's hair later."
"It's okay if you don't do it well, you can do it a few more times." Yun Jin fed Xiao Niangao: "Do you like Daddy to do your hair?"
Little Rice Cake nodded enthusiastically, "I like it!"
Because his daughter liked it, He Tingchuan actually learned how to braid pigtails and even learned several other hairstyles.
Little Rice Cake has thick, straight hair that looks good no matter how it's styled.
He Tingchuan was extravagant, and after several attempts, the hairstyle he managed to tie up wasn't bad.
Today, Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao changed into matching dresses for their outing. They looked beautiful and adorable with every smile and gesture. He Tingchuan looked so happy walking with them.
After watching the mother and daughter get into the car, He Tingchuan went to training.
He Tingchuan couldn't go out with them today because he didn't have a day off.
Yun Jin took Xiao Niangao to the mall, and as before, there were basically no changes from year to year.
There are significantly more people setting up stalls at the entrance of the shopping mall.
Yun Jin went to find Yuan Qing, who greeted them with a smile: "There are no customers right now. I'll have my colleague look around, and I'll accompany you for a walk and a stroll."
Yun Jin didn't refuse. She walked around the mall and indeed didn't see many customers.
However, the dresses worn by the mother and daughter caught the eye of several women who were shopping. They curiously inquired where they bought them and also complained that the clothes in the mall were too outdated.
They couldn't even buy a red shirt with a wide neckline, just like the one worn by the female host.
Yun Jin knew that small cities could never compare to big cities.
Popular trends lag behind significantly.
However, given that so many people have this demand, how could Yun Jin, a businesswoman, possibly miss out?
She had her eye on a shop at the entrance on the first floor of the mall. If she could take it over and open a chain store there, the business should be good, and it would also benefit the women in the area, allowing them to wear fashionable and stylish clothes.
With that in mind, Yun Jin asked Yuan Qing to take her to find Liu Sanchen.
After hearing Yun Jin explain her purpose, Liu Sanchen frowned and said, "I can't make that decision myself. I'll report it to my superiors."
Yun Jin nodded: "I'll wait for your good news so I can call and have the goods shipped and start the renovations as soon as possible. I need to get the clothing store up and running before I leave. If your wife is willing, she can be the store manager."
Liu Sanchen raised an eyebrow: "How much is the store manager's salary?"
"The base salary is eighty yuan, and if sales are good, there will be a commission." Yun Jin knew that Yuan Qing's salary was only sixty yuan, so offering eighty yuan was enough to tempt the couple.
Moreover, the store manager's commission is not low.
Liu Sanchen was tempted: "Let me see how it goes before I say anything."
While ostensibly talking about screenings, they were actually trying to persuade their superiors that their shopping mall was losing customers, many were unwilling to buy clothes, and their profits were declining significantly.
If a private clothing store moves in, it can not only earn rent but also bring in customers.
