The Beautiful Stepmother from the Eighties: Marrying a Factory Director to Raise Kids Chapter 161
By the ti Si Nian found the two of them, the last few catties of mung bean cakes had been sold out by passers-by.
In the market, Lin's mother and Zhou Suisui, looking blank and having no sense of participation, finally saw Si Nian coming.
They had been standing there for quite a while, and their palms were sweating nervously.
The glances from the surrounding passers-by made them feel quite at a loss.
Although self - employed individuals had erged long ago, people had always dared not even think about doing small business.
It was only after more and more people started doing it in the past two years that they gradually got used to it.
But when it ca to themselves, the feeling was different.
Lin's mother quickly waved to her daughter. "Niannian, over here!"
Si Nian walked over and heard her mother muttering to herself excitedly. "Niannian, you don't know how nice Xiao Zhou is. She specially found soone to get us a spot to set up a stall. Right here, at the crossroads, where there are the most people!"
"Co on, let's set up here."
Saying that, the two of them reached out to move the foam boxes.
The next second, there was nothing in their hands.
The thirty - jin box seed to have lost its weight.
Lin's mother was completely stunned and glanced at her daughter.
She saw her daughter looking at her with a beaming smile.
She opened the box and found it empty.
Lin's mother: "? Where are the cakes?"
Si Nian smiled and said, "They're all sold out."
Lin's mother & Zhou Suisui: "???"
What had they been so nervous about all this ti?
Si Nian told the two of them what had happened on the way.
It took them a long ti to co to their senses, with expressions of disbelief. "Are they really that easy to sell? Did I make too few?" Lin's mother asked nervously.
Si Nian nodded. "Yes, it's a bit too few. Next ti, Mom, you can make more. Since we've just started selling these days, they'll definitely sell well. You have to seize this opportunity to make money, or soon soone will grab the business."
These pastries weren't difficult to make. A smart person could tell what they were made of just by tasting them. Seeing their good business, surely soone would follow suit.
Of course, this was normal. Anyway, it was always the first batch of people who made money.
She handed the money she had just earned to Lin's mother. They had sold fifteen catties of osmanthus cakes at thirty cents a catty, earning four yuan and fifty cents. The mung bean cakes earned 3.75 yuan. In total, it was a bit over eight yuan.
At first glance, it didn't seem like much, but compared to rural incos, it would be quite considerable in a month.
After all, there weren't many people who could earn fifty yuan a month these days.
Actually, apart from sugar and honey being a bit expensive, the cost of mung beans and glutinous rice flour could basically be ignored.
Lin's mother and Zhou Suisui were extrely excited. They counted the money for a long ti and then gave half of it to Si Nian.
"Niannian, this is your share. We owe it all to you that we could sell them!"
Si Nian waved her hand and refused. "No need, Mom. I didn't do much. I just helped carry the goods. You guys could definitely have sold them too. Don't be so polite to ."
Although Lin's mother knew that her daughter definitely didn't lack this little bit of money, she still felt very embarrassed.
After pushing the money back and forth, Si Nian got annoyed and simply said, "Then take to a restaurant."
Lin's mother had no choice but to nod.
Si Nian also planned to go into the city. There were too few osmanthus flowers in the countryside. She planned to buy so dried osmanthus flowers and honey.
In this way, she could make more next ti.
Lin's mother also thought it made sense and went with her.
At the Zhou family's.
When Zhou Yueshen got ho, his daughter had already woken up.
The little one's hair had grown longer. Her forrly ssy hair was now, even after waking up from sleep, smoothly sticking to her little face. Si Nian had trimd it, and now it reached below her ears, neatly cut. There was also a tuft of bangs on her forehead, which, paired with her delicate features, made her incredibly cute.
At the mont, she was sitting on the bed playing with her little feet.
Children grow fast. Although Si Nian hadn't been there for long, Zhou Yueshen felt that the little girl had gained weight all over.
He stepped forward and picked up the little one from the bed. Si Nian didn't know what she had used to bathe the child, but she slled sweet and felt soft all over.
Even her hair was shinier than before.
"Mommy~ Woof~" Maybe used to being at ho alone, the little girl neither cried nor made a fuss. Instead, she smiled when she saw Zhou Yueshen. Her little milk teeth were neatly arranged and very white and beautiful.
Zhou Yueshen corrected her helplessly. "It's Daddy, not Mommy."
"Mommy~ Woof~"
"Little silly." Zhou Yueshen pinched her chubby cheeks and carried her downstairs.
The millet porridge that Si Nian had cooked in the morning was still warm.
Zhou Yueshen fed the little girl with one hand while holding her, and then put a pretty little dress on her. Si Nian had bought schoolbags for the eldest and the second - eldest, and hadn't forgotten to buy one for the little girl either. The tiny schoolbag was hung on her back, with so biscuits and candies inside.
Zhou Yueshen gave so food to Da Huang, then picked up the little schoolbag and carried his daughter out.
Aunt Zhang's door was open. He walked over and knocked on it.
Aunt Zhang imdiately ca out of the house, wiping her hands.
"Yo, Xiao Zhou, you're sending the child here today." Aunt Zhang said in surprise when she saw Zhou Yueshen.
Zhou Yueshen nodded slightly. "Please help take care of Yaoyao for a while, Auntie."
Aunt Zhang was originally from Linjia Village and was also acquainted with the Lin family. However, after getting married, she hadn't had much contact. Maybe because she was from the sa village as Si Nian, she got along extrely well with Si Nian.
Now the two families often visited each other.
Previously, although Aunt Zhang was kind - hearted and lived close to the Zhou family, because of the complicated situation of the Zhou family, she only greeted them occasionally and wasn't very close.
Since Si Nian ca, the neighbors had all gotten to know each other.
People also gradually found that Zhou Yueshen didn't seem as hard to approach as he looked on the surface.
He just looked cold.
Anyway, since Si Nian ca, Aunt Zhang felt that Zhou Yueshen had beco more amiable.
At the mont, she quickly took the little girl and said with a smile. "What do you an by 'please'? You're being too polite!"
Shitou imdiately ran out of the house with a ssy head of hair. "Sister Yaoyao, you're here. Co on, let's eat eggs!" He familiarly pulled Yaoyao's hand and led her into the house.
Zhou Yueshen glanced at Shitou with a runny nose and then at his daughter who was like a little fairy. He frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Before he could say more, Aunt Zhang suddenly pulled him aside and whispered. "Xiao Zhou, there's sothing I'm not sure if I should say or not."
Zhou Yueshen was slightly stunned. He always felt that Aunt Zhang was looking at him in a strange way today.
He asked calmly. "What is it? Please tell , Auntie."
"I hope you don't take it to heart when I say this. I'm a straightforward person, but I really care about you and Niannian. Your physical problem seems like a big deal at first glance, but there's still a way. I know an old Chinese doctor. I'll introduce him to you. Go and see him and take so tonics. You're still young. You'll definitely be okay. Co on, don't give up!"
After saying that, she stuffed a piece of paper into Zhou Yueshen's hand.
"I'll definitely keep this a secret. I won't let outsiders know."
n are all about face. She understood that.
Aunt Zhang patted Zhou Yueshen's shoulder to encourage him.
Zhou Yueshen: "....."
