On the way home, Lin Xiaoyue thought about the shop’s renovation and her cold cake business. She didn’t speak for a long time.
“I’ve already rented the shop. There’s a daily rental cost. The renovation has to be done as soon as possible.” Lin Xiaoyue finally spoke.
“I’ll take Uncle Sun to the shop tomorrow. In addition, Aunt Sun will get back to us this afternoon.”
“If they can’t help, I’ll look for the workers in town tomorrow. The price may be higher, but we can start work immediately,” Li Xiao said.
He looked at Lin Xiaoyue and said, “don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
Looking at his serious expression, she calmed down.
Then, she nodded.
…..
Li Xiao managed the construction well, and there should not be any problems with the renovation.
When they got home, Liu Shi smiled and told Lin Xiaoyue that she had sold 2 more buckets of cold cakes.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Shuanzi had just returned and left with 6 buckets of cold cakes.
The happiest person was Aunt w.a.n.g.
Her son had sold 18 buckets of cold cakes yesterday and earned 450 wen in one day!
Last night, the whole family had gathered around to count the money. They were so happy that they almost couldn’t sleep.
Even her daughter wanted to go sell cold cakes with her brother.
Her son said he could make 3 trips a day without any problem.
It was because the Liu family didn’t make enough cold cakes, so he was late.
If the Liu family had enough cold cakes, he could make another trip and sell 24 buckets of cold cakes a day.
Then, he could earn 600 wen in a day!
Shuanzi’s earnings in a day were more than the sum of what everyone in the family earned!
“That is good, but it’s not good to work too hard. You should rest when you need to.” Lin Xiaoyue looked at Aunt w.a.n.g.
“If you go out at this time, I’m afraid you won’t be able to make it back for lunch.”
“It’s fine. I made him some cornbread and steamed egg custard this morning. He ate some just now.”
“And Erya can cook now. She won’t let her brother go hungry!”
They had already discussed it last night, and it was her son who suggested it.
“I won’t be eating at your house today. Erya has cooked, 1 will go back and eat before coming back to help,” Aunt w.a.n.g said.
She took her basket from the ox-cart.
She also bought vegetables today and some meat.
Now that they were earning money, and Shuanzi and his father were doing hard labor, they should eat better.
Lin Xiaoyue did not ask her to stay. She politely said a few words to her and let her go.
Lin Xiaoyue then called the two children to help her cook.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue was still washing the dishes when Aunt w.a.n.g brought w.a.n.g Erya over.
The little girl’s face was indeed not swollen anymore. Only her wound was still a little red.
“She wants to help. She’s not getting paid today!” Aunt w.a.n.g said to Lin Xiaoyue.
“How can this be?” Lin Xiaoyue immediately refused.
“Why not? She’ll start working tomorrow, but there’s no need to pay her today. Just do as 1 say!” Aunt w.a.n.g said directly.
“Hehe,alright! Whatever you say!” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.
Seeing that Aunt w.a.n.g had rolled up her sleeves and was about to come up to help, Lin Xiaoyue quickly refused..
