Without her brother around, Lin Wan was really too busy to handle it all on this day. When Lin Wan was delivering food, Liang Hongi was in the shop all by herself, not only busy with cooking but also cleaning the tables, collecting money, and washing the dishes.
During this ti, she even ssed up a custor’s order once.
As it was nearing the end of the workday in the evening, Lin Wan was about to close the shop when an elderly couple in their fifties walked in.
"We’ve closed for the day, and there’s no more food," Lin Wan quickly reminded them.
The couple smiled shyly, and the woman spoke up, "Young lady, I saw your hiring sign outside. We ca over to ask if soone my age would be okay?"
Hearing this, Lin Wan laughed and quickly invited them into the shop.
At this mont, Liang Hongi also ca out from the kitchen.
"Grandpa, Grandma, we’re looking to hire soone for dishwashing and odd jobs, just need them to be quick and tidy,"
"Young lady, do you think I could do it? I’m fifty-two this year and retired just a few months ago, and there’s nothing much to do at ho," the woman said sowhat embarrassedly.
Lin Wan could understand this since in her past life when she was looking for jobs, she was also very reserved.
"Is Grandma’s health good usually? We are mainly busy during lunchti and dinner ti, and we finish early in the evening."
"No, no, except for the occasional cold, nothing major," Grandma Wang quickly waved her hand with a smile.
"We offer twenty yuan a month, with one day off per week. Work starts at 10:30 AM and ends at 2:30 PM, and in the evening, it’s from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Does that sound okay to you?" "Yes, yes," the couple replied, their faces lighting up with delight.
Seeing they had no objections, Lin Wan smiled and said, "If Grandma agrees, how about starting work tomorrow at 10:30 AM?"
After agreeing, everyone left the restaurant.
The elderly couple lived near the early market, so the four of them happened to be on the sa path. On the way, Liang Hongi chatted a bit with them and found out that they often shopped at the early market and recognized Liang Hongi.
The couple worked at the nearby match factory. Grandma Wang had retired, and with two sons and a daughter all working and no need for their care at ho.
Since retiring, Grandma Wang felt restless, but given her age, many places weren’t willing to hire her. Today, she saw a recruitnt notice on a utility pole while at the early market, so she dragged her husband over to check it out.
With soone hired for the restaurant, mother and daughter felt relieved. In the morning at the early market, Lin Wan even specifically took down the recruitnt notice.
In the following days, while Lin Wan delivered food, Grandma Wang would also help look after the restaurant.
Despite her age, Grandma Wang was very efficient at her tasks, being a city person and all, she was particular about cleanliness.
Lin Wan and Liang Hongi were very satisfied with Grandma Wang.
When Lin Yinghui returned, carrying clothes in hand, Lin Wan knew her brother was on sumr vacation.
With her brother there, Lin Wan felt much more at ease.
On a cloudy day, after buying the groceries for the store, Lin Wan took the bus into the city to visit Han Yi’s grandma’s house.
After she married Han Yi, she had been living at Grandma’s place.
Having been here for so long, Lin Wan never dared to co this way before because she wasn’t sure how to greet Grandma.
A stranger trying to get close could easily be misunderstood.
In this life, she hadn’t gone to college and didn’t know how else she would intersect with Han Yi. Afraid of missing out on Han Yi, her mind was a ss these days. The more she thought, the more restless she beca and couldn’t help but want to co and have a look.
This area was all residential, mostly single-story houses, each with its own yard, and the alleys were quite big.
Grandma’s alleyway was a circular triangle, just separated by one family from the circular triangle.
The family in the circular triangle had built a two-story small building, with a small shop at the main entrance. It was said they had connections in the city and usually sold so goods without needing any tickets, although a bit expensive, yet they still had quite a few custors.
