"Let’s go, I’ll walk you to the bus stop ahead. The roads aren’t icy at this ti, and there are still buses." This area has been unsafe lately, and she’s a woman, so he’s a bit worried.
Lin Wan looked up at a bus stop not far away. She knew there was a bus from here to West Bridge, so she didn’t object and followed Han Yi over there.
"Thanks for today," Han Yi suddenly spoke after walking a few steps.
"No problem, I didn’t expect she was your Grandma."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Han Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Seems like we’re quite fated."
Han Yi’s words made Lin Wan’s heart flutter nervously. Her thoughts were everywhere, and she couldn’t tell whether he was teasing or sincere.
Until she got on the bus, she didn’t realize when a packet of soap ended up in her hands, only rembering that Han Yi shoved sothing into her arms before boarding, and she didn’t give it much thought.
Feeling dazed, she returned ho; her mind was still in a jumble, though she felt a tiny bit of secret joy.
The snowstorm lasted a full day and night, and by the next day, the snow had piled up to knee height.
Lin Wan didn’t let Mom go to the morning market; Mom couldn’t stand the weather and had caught a cold several tis this winter.
Today, she replaced Mom for a day.
Seeing that it was Lin Wan today, Zhang Shuhua happily drew her into endless conversation.
"Xiao Wan, lately our shop has been booming with business because the fireplace burns warmly, and we make hotpots; everyone loves eating sothing warm in this winter. The hospital doesn’t close for the holidays, so should we stay open too?"
Without even thinking, Lin Wan shook her head, "You can never earn all the money in the world. It’s the New Year; we want to take it easy for a few days. What, you don’t want to take a break?"
Since Zhang Shuhua started working here, she’s hardly taken any ti off.
Her words just dropped when Lin Wan noticed Zhang Shuhua’s discomfort.
"No way, I’m just thinking of helping you earn more money, and making more for myself too." Zhang Shuhua turned her head away, not wanting to face Lin Wan.
Though Zhang Shuhua has worked here for quite a while and often chats with her, she’s never ntioned anything about her family.
Sotis, Lin Wan asked, but she intentionally avoided it.
Her brother’s break cos in a week’s ti, and Lin Wan has stayed at the shop all week.
Until her brother’s holiday, Lin Wan returned ho to properly wash her clothes.
Lin Wan rested at ho for a day and went to the hotpot shop, having thought over many things during this ti.
The hospital next door certainly won’t close for the holidays. She wasn’t sure if the nearby restaurants would, but surely so hoped they’d shut down.
"Shuhua, Tong Li, the New Year is coming up, and my family will definitely close for a break. I’m planning to shut the doors on the 26th."
"Sister Lin, at this ti, neighboring restaurants are closing to go ho for the New Year, but the hospital staff and patients can’t take a break, so there are still plenty of custors. With fewer competitors, this is our chance to earn money." Tong Li felt it was a pity.
"I agree," Zhang Shuhua actually didn’t want to stay at ho.
Lin Wan chuckled, "I was thinking the sa, but I’m still not going to work."
Tong Li listened to Lin Wan’s half-agreent, feeling a rise and fall in her heart, "Sister Lin, that’s just talk then."
"I’m not just talking. My point is, if you two are interested, the takeaway business for the half-month holiday will be up to you."
"Sure, leave it to us and don’t worry. As long as you co in to make the food, the rest doesn’t concern you." Tong Li was just about to get excited when Lin Wan shook her head again, "What I an is, the takeaways for these two weeks will be entirely yours. You can use the shop’s supplies, just pay ten bucks for coal and ingredients, and buying groceries and cooking will be your responsibility. Of course, whatever you earn is yours too."
