Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 210 209: Turnaround

There are many shops on the street, but few require hourly labor.

After all, the economy at this time was not as developed as it would be in later generations, and shop business was not as booming. Many shops could not even support their families, so why did they need to recruit people?

Moreover, Wu Yanyu is not yet an adult, so many shops dare not hire her even if they need hourly workers.

While walking, Wu Yanyu came to a noodle shop with a long queue. There was a milk tea shop next to the noodle shop, and the milk tea shop was also overcrowded.

Business is very good.

The milk tea shop is called NY Milk Tea, and the noodle shop is called Pickled Fish Noodle House.

These two stores became popular in Beijing more than a year ago. Subsequently, there were many imitators on the streets of Beijing, but the original ones have never been surpassed.

NY milk tea and pickled fish noodle restaurants have also had a great impact on the catering industry.

When Wu Yanyu came to the store, two aunties were neatly clearing the table, "Auntie, please, can you hire part-time workers?"

The smell in the store was so fragrant that Wu Yanyu couldn't help but swallow.

It’s not without reason that your business is so good.

By coincidence, Zhou Qingxiang was in charge of the store Wu Yanyu came to.

Zhou Qingxiang’s family has a daughter about the same age as Wu Yanyu. “Little girl, do you want to come over to work?”

"Well," Wu Yanyu nodded hurriedly, "Auntie, don't worry, I can do anything! Just pay me as you see fit! I really need this job!"

Zhou Qingxiang continued: "Little girl, how old are you this year?"

"Seventeen." Wu Yanyu replied.

Wang Xiaoya, the daughter of Zhou Qingxiang’s family, is 16 and is in the third grade of junior high school. “Little girl, you don’t go to school anymore?”

Wu Yanyu nodded.

Zhou Qingxiang also lived a hard life in the past. If Ni Yan and her daughter hadn't come to Jinghua Village, Wang Xiaoya would have dropped out of school long ago. When she saw Wu Yanyu, she couldn't bear it.

"Little girl, please wait for me." Zhou Qingxiang quickly cleared the table and walked towards the kitchen.

Wu Yanyu stood there, waiting for Zhou Qingxiang with some anxiety.

Zhou Qingxiang came back soon, holding a bag of things in her hand, "Little girl, these are the leftover buns and noodles we had for lunch. If you don't mind, take them back and eat them. Anyway, we will throw them away soon." It’s also a waste.”

"Thank you, Auntie." Wu Yanyu took the bag with both hands.

Wu Yanyu continued: "Little girl, we have never hired hourly workers here, and I don't know if our boss will hire you. So, you can come over again at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Our boss will be in the store then. inside."

Although Zhou Qingxiang is now the store manager, she cannot decide whether to recruit hourly workers.

What's more, Wu Yanyu is not yet old enough.

She was afraid of causing trouble for Ni Yan.

"Auntie, thank you! Thank you!" Wu Yanyu hugged the bag and kept bowing to Zhou Qingxiang.

"You're welcome." Zhou Qingxiang continued, "You go back first and come back tomorrow."

Wu Yanyu turned around and left with the food.

Zhou Qingxiang gave me a lot of food.

There are ten meat buns and a large bag of soup noodles.

In fact, these foods were not leftovers from their lunch at all, but were bought by Zhou Qingxiang with her own money.

As soon as she saw Wu Yanyu's look, she knew that she hadn't eaten enough. She had been hungry before, and she knew how uncomfortable it felt to be hungry.

Wu Yanyu was so hungry that he couldn't help but grab a meat bun to eat while walking.

The meat buns are really fragrant, and juices splash out when you bite into them.

The aroma of meat buns lingers between your lips and teeth.

Wu Yanyu ate three steamed buns in a row before slowly regaining his strength.

At this moment, a car suddenly rushed over from the corner——

"Chi!"

The sharp sound of the brakes sounded, and Wu Yanyu's face instantly turned pale. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and the soup noodles spilled all over the floor.

Fortunately, the car stopped when it was only tenths of a millimeter away from her.

Wu Yanyu swallowed. At that moment, she thought she was going to be killed.

"Go down and take a look." The man sitting in the back seat said calmly, holding a prayer bead in his hand.

The sun shone in through the car window, casting a shimmer on his body. The elegant man who was already somewhat unworldly seemed even more unreal at this moment.

"Okay." The driver nodded, opened the door and got out.

"Little girl, are you okay?" The driver uncle came over.

Wu Yanyu couldn't care less whether he was okay or not. He was so anxious that he cried out, "Noodles, my noodles..." These noodles were enough for their family to have a meal, but now, they were all scattered.

The bright sunlight illuminated her profile, making her fair and elegant. The man in the car looked back slightly and happened to see this scene.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered the window, and called out, "Xiao Qin."

Hearing this, the driver immediately ran over and said, "Master Du."

Mr. Du twisted the prayer beads with one hand and took out a banknote from his wallet with the other hand, "Give it to her."

"Okay." Xiao Qin took the banknotes and walked to Wu Yanyu, "Little girl, stop crying and get up quickly. This is what our Master Du gave you. Take it and buy another noodle and noodles." Baozi."

What comes into view is a blue 100-yuan banknote. At this time, the 10-yuan banknote is what people see most, and it is also what everyone calls the great unity.

100 yuan banknotes are rarely seen by ordinary people.

This person only paid 100 yuan, so he must not be a simple person.

Seeing that Wu Yanyu didn't respond, Xiao Qin directly put the money into Wu Yanyu's hand, turned around and got in the car.

Wu Yanyu hurriedly raised his head and saw a gentle and elegant profile in the passing car window. He was wearing an old-fashioned button-up suit and was looking straight ahead, his handsome brows and eyes covered with a crisp snow color.

This kind of people look elegant.

In fact, they are the hardest to get along with.

Wu Yanyu clenched the banknotes in his hand. Their family was short of money right now. With this huge sum of one hundred yuan, they could do a lot of things.

People were coming and going on the street. After the black car disappeared, Wu Yanyu was left sitting on the ground alone. Several stray dogs and cats ran from not far away, and the debris on the ground was quickly dealt with.

Everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

Wu Yanyu stood up from the ground and limped towards the grain and oil store.

Wu Yanyu bought one hundred kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of sesame oil, and fifty kilograms of flour in one go, spending a total of 30 yuan. The owner of the grain and oil store even delivered these things to Wu's house in person.

Despite the fact that there is a lot of food, there are many Wu family members, and people eat a lot at this time. These things cannot be eaten for a long time, at most half a month.

When Wu Yanyu went back, Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju had already returned. Seeing the owner of the grain and oil store moving bags of rice and sesame oil home, Yan Erju pulled Wu Yanyu aside in confusion, "Xiaoyu, what's going on? What’s going on?”

"Mom, this is for you." Wu Yanyu handed the remaining seventy yuan to Yan Erju, and then told Yan Erju about the incident in the afternoon.

When Yan Erju and Wu Jinshu heard that Wu Yanyu almost had a car accident, their faces turned pale with fright, "Is Xiaoyu okay with you?"

Wu Yanyu shook her head, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm fine."

"That's good." Yan Erju continued: "Then you have to be careful in the future, especially when crossing the road. You are not so lucky every time."

Wu Jinshu said: "Your mother is right, you are not so lucky every time. What if the car hits you anyway? What will our family do? There is no money to earn, but you have to understand that no matter what No amount of money can buy someone back!"

What is priceless in this world?

Life is priceless!

Wu Yanyu nodded, "Mom, Dad, I know."

Wu Erlong said from the side: "Mom and Dad, with this money, can I send my sister to school?"

Yan Erju smiled bitterly, "How can this money be enough?"

The tuition fee alone costs 98 yuan a semester, plus tuition, fees, meals, etc., totaling 138 yuan. This is why there were so many people who dropped out of junior high school in the 1980s.

Labor wages are low, and if one child goes to school, it takes up the whole family's savings.

Unlike later generations, nine-year compulsory education is fully implemented. Not only does it cost no money to go to school, it also provides scholarships and subsidies for poor students.

Therefore, people who lived in this era will be very frugal in later generations.

Wu Dalong continued: "Is that enough for Erlong and I to go to school?"

"It's not enough." Yan Erju shook her head and continued: "But don't worry, Dalong and Xiaolong, your parents will work hard to support you in school." They will definitely be able to save enough to pay for school, it's just a matter of time!

Grandma Wu happened to come over and heard what Yan Erju said, and retorted: "With the salary of you and Jin Shu, ten more years of praise will not be enough!"

The combined salary of Yan Erju and Wu Jinshu is less than 20 yuan a month, and the rent is 10 yuan a month. Their little money is barely enough to cover their family expenses, and they still dream of sending their children to school?

dream!

The family's life has been like this, but Wu Jinshu is still trying to show off his strength and refuse to marry his daughter.

He doesn't look at his own abilities either.

Fortunately, she is not confused and can still take charge of the family. Otherwise, Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju would drag the whole family to death!

Hearing this, Yan Erju's expression darkened, and then said: "Mom, are you hungry? I'm going to cook. Let's eat delicious rice tonight."

Rice has been a very common food in later generations, but in this era, it is difficult for poor families to eat a meal of rice. Like Yan Erju's family, they can only eat brown rice.

Brown rice is used to feed chickens and ducks. It is hard and astringent and makes the throat sore.

Just this brown rice is not enough.

Grandma Wu glanced at Yan Erju, "Where do you get the money to buy rice?"

Yan Erju told Grandma Wu what happened.

Grandma Wu said: "You only have one hundred yuan to make you so happy?"

Wu Yanyu could exchange for a small bungalow for an extra two thousand yuan! How happy will Yan Erju be then?

After Grandma Wu left, Yan Erju pulled Wu Jinshu's sleeve, "Why do I feel that Mom is a little weird today? She can't even see a hundred yuan. This makes people who don't know think our family has a lot of money." There is money!”

Wu Jinshu didn't take it to heart, "My mother is like this, maybe she's in a bad mood today."

Yan Erju didn't care so much and said to Wu Yanyu, "Xiaoyu, go and rest for a while. Mom will cook tonight's dinner."

Wu Yanyu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Mom, you've been tired all day, so I'd better go."

Yan Erju smiled and said: "Mom, you're not tired, but you were frightened by that car just now, weren't you? Go and have a rest. You've been working hard during this period."

Wu Yanyu was no match for Yan Erju, so he had to go to the room to rest.

In the evening, Yan Erju steamed a large pot of rice, fried a plate of sesame oil vegetables, and cooked a large bowl of sesame oil egg soup. The children ate very happily.

Wu Yanyu also had a full meal for the first time. What surprised Wu Yanyu was that Grandma Wu didn't wink at her tonight.

Surprised and a little happy at the same time.

After all, she was still a teenager and she wanted to have a full stomach.

Who wants to know what it feels like to be hungry?

The next morning, Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju went to work together.

Grandma Wu came to Wu Yanyu and said, "Yan Yu, let the big dragon and the second dragon watch the little dragon for a while. You and I will go somewhere."

Wu Yanyu nodded, "Grandma, where are you going?"

"Don't worry about it," Grandma Wu continued, "We will leave when your aunt comes."

"Oh." Wu Yanyu didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Wu Jinjin came.

Wu Jinjin is always neatly packed no matter what time she is, let alone a big day like today. She even took out the clothes from the bottom of the box, and even wore a pair on her ears that she would only wear during the Chinese New Year. One time silver earrings.

"Yan Yu, I brought you a dress. You can try it on quickly to see if it fits. If it fits, put it on and we'll leave." Wu Jinjin handed Wu Yanyu a water-red dress.

Wu Yanyu was stunned for a moment, "Aunt, is this for me?"

Wu Jinjin is a very qualified and filial daughter, but not a qualified aunt.

She doesn't like Wu Jinshu's children at all, whether it's Wu Dalong, Wu Xiaolong, or Wu Yanyu, she doesn't like any of them.

Growing up, she never even bought a candy for the children. Every time she brought something over, she would give it to Grandma Wu secretly.

Wu Jinjin suddenly handed Wu Yanyu a skirt, which surprised Wu Yanyu.

Wu Jinjin smiled and said: "Look, you kid asked, this is not for you, who else can it be for? Go and change it quickly, we have to go out soon."

After confirming that Wu Jinjin was for her, Wu Yanyu returned to the house to change clothes.

After Wu Yanyu left, Grandma Wu said dissatisfiedly: "It's not easy for you to make money, why are you wasting money buying her clothes?"

"I didn't buy it. This dress belonged to Jiang Li when she was young." Wu Jinjin replied.

Jiang Li is Wu Jinjin's sister-in-law.

Grandma Wu was relieved when she heard that they were free old clothes.

After a while, Wu Yanyu changed clothes and came out.

Wu Yanyu is different from the Wu family. She is tall. Although she is only 17 years old, she is already 1.65 meters tall, more than a head taller than Wu Jinjin.

Although the water red color has been washed a little white, it looks unexpectedly good on Wu Yanyu.

Wu Jinjin said: "As expected, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Our Yan Yu is also a big girl now."

There is no reason for younger brother Wu Lan to look down on such a beautiful young lady.

It seemed that there was hope for his bicycle and sewing machine. Wu Jinjin smiled even brighter.

Wu Yanyu pulled up the hem of her skirt with some discomfort, "Aunt, I'd better go and change her out. It's inconvenient to work like this."

"No, no, just dress like this," Wu Jinjin grabbed Wu Yanyu's wrist, "I don't need you to work today."

"Then let's go, the time is almost up." Grandma Wu continued: "Dalong and Erlong stay at home and watch your brother carefully. We will be back soon."

"Grandma, I want to go too!" Wu Dalong followed in Grandma Wu's footsteps.

Grandma Wu said kindly: "Dalong stays at home and waits for grandma to come back with candy for you to eat."

Wu Dalong was so happy when he heard that there were sweets to eat, "Okay, okay, grandma, go quickly!"

Halfway through the walk, Wu Yanyu felt a little strange and asked, "Grandma, aunt, where are we going?"

Wu Jinjin smiled and held Wu Yanyu's arm, "I'm just going out to have fun. You'll find out later."

After a while, they arrived at Wu Lan's house.

Wu Yanyu said: "Isn't this Aunt Wu Lan's house? Grandma, what are we doing here?"

Grandma Wu said with a straight face: "Children, don't ask so many questions. When we talk later, just sit by and listen."

Grandma Wu would not tell Wu Yanyu the truth until the matter was finalized.

This little girl is a ghost in the film. What if she doesn’t agree?

As soon as they walked into the yard, Wu Lan enthusiastically welcomed them out of the house, "Auntie is here, come in and sit down."

There are more people in the living room.

Among them are Wu Lan's husband, Wu Lan's younger brother Wu Qiang, and Wu Lan's mother.

Wu Lan introduced: "Mom, Qiangzi, this is Yan Yu's grandma, this is Yan Yu's aunt, this is Yan Yu."

Wu Jinjin was a very trouble-making person, so he immediately greeted everyone.

Feeling that several pairs of eyes were looking at him intently, Wu Yanyu felt a little nervous and twisted his hands together tightly.

In fact, Wu Qiang is quite reluctant to come today.

Because Wu Lan said that the other party was a country girl, he thought, how beautiful can a country girl be?

But he didn't expect Wu Yanyu to be so good-looking.

Wu Qiang stood up immediately, "Is this Yan Yu? You must be tired after walking for such a long time, right? Sit down quickly."

Wu Qiang is thirty-five years old this year. Because his family owns more than thirty houses, he does not need to work. He plays small cards every day, collects rent, and lives a fairy-like life.

This resulted in his figure being severely out of shape, with a beer belly, a bald head, and a shiny face, making him look much older than his actual age.

Wu's mother and Wu Lan felt reassured when they saw Wu Qiang acting like this.

This must be fancy.

Otherwise, why would Wu Qiang be so enthusiastic?

Although Wu Qiang's appearance was not that good, his financial situation was good, and he was unwilling to date countless girls.

Now that he finally found one he was satisfied with, Mother Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, not only Wu Qiang was satisfied with this girl, but Wu's mother was also very satisfied.

She is good-looking, and she is easy to handle at first glance. As a mother-in-law, she does not want to find a daughter-in-law with a strong personality.

If she really found a daughter-in-law like that, then it would not be her daughter-in-law who would take care of her, but she, the mother-in-law, would have to take care of her daughter-in-law.

Wu Jinjin and Grandma Wu knew what was going on and pushed Wu Yanyu to sit down, "If Xiao Wu asks you to sit down, sit down quickly."

Wu Yanyu had never experienced anything like this, but she vaguely knew that today's matter was far from as simple as visiting someone's home.

There must be something else hidden here.

Wu Yanyu couldn't sit still, especially because she couldn't stand Wu Qiang's naked eyes. As soon as her butt touched the sofa, she stood up quickly, "Grandma, aunt, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first!"

After saying that, she left here as if running away.

Although Wu Lan's house was decorated like a palace, it made her unable to breathe. After running all the way outside, Wu Yanyu felt much better.

Grandma Wu was so angry.

This damn girl!

Embarrass her!

She thought she was some kind of hot commodity and others still had to rely on her?

Wu Qiang looked at Wu Yanyu's back, "Why is she gone?"

Wu Yanyu still looks down upon his conditions?

Wu Jinjin smiled and smoothed things over, "We, Yan Yu, have never been on a blind date before. This is a big girl who has only been on a sedan chair once. She is shy. Xiao Wu, please don't mind! She is satisfied with you!"

Hearing this, Wu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Mother Wu glanced at Wu Jinjin and said in a nonchalant manner: "Can you be your niece's boss?" Before she retired, Mother Wu was the owner of the street department. She was usually more serious and looked at problems more thoroughly.

She looked at it, it was not that simple!

Wu Jinjin smiled and said: "Auntie, I can't make the decision on this matter, but my mother can! Yan Yu is my mother's granddaughter."

As soon as these words came out, Grandma Wu immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, I can make the decision on this matter!"

Mother Wu continued: "Our old Wu family has always been innocent, but we can't do anything embarrassing. If it works, it will work, and if it doesn't work, it won't work. It's not sweet to force yourself."

Their family is rich, what kind of daughter-in-law can’t be found?

Mother Wu is a decent person, but she doesn't like to do things that don't put her on the stage.

Grandma Wu said: "Yes, yes, you are right. Don't worry, although I am old, I can still do this."

Mother Wu continued: "Although you are the little girl's grandmother, this matter must be approved by your son and daughter-in-law, right?"

Grandma Wu couldn't accept this.

Because Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju didn't know about this at all.

Wu Jinjin quickly answered with a smile, "Auntie, let me tell you the truth. In fact, the situation in our family is more complicated. Yan Yu is not my brother or sister-in-law's biological daughter. Yan Yu was picked up by my mother from the mountain. When I was a kid, my mother was the one who made me shit and pee. She has nothing to do with my brother and sister-in-law, so as long as my mother agrees to this matter."

Grandma Wu was stunned when she heard this.

She silently gave Wu Jinjin a thumbs up in her heart. She was worthy of being the daughter she gave birth to. She was very smart and quick to respond. She could tell lies as soon as she opened her mouth, without any drafts!

Hearing this, Mother Wu nodded, "So that's it."

Since he is not his biological child, and he was raised by the old lady, then this matter will be easier to handle.

Wu Qiang pushed Wu's mother.

Mother Wu naturally knew what her son meant, and continued: "You all know the situation of our family. Qiangzi now has two daughters. If the little girl gets married, she will not have to work. She will only be responsible for taking care of me and the two children. That’s fine. Of course, I’ll also be responsible for cooking and washing Qiangzi’s clothes.”

Wu Jinjin smiled and said: "These are all small things. Whose new daughter-in-law doesn't do these things now?"

"In addition, our Qiangzi currently only has two daughters. It will definitely be impossible for the two of them to have no sons. Anyway, our Wu family is not short of money. I mean, no matter how many children we have, they will all be left to our Wu family. After."

No matter when or where, there is no shortage of people who favor boys over girls.

When a daughter marries, she takes her husband's surname, and when a son marries, he takes his own surname. This is the inheritance.

"It should be, it should be," Wu Jinjin said with a smile: "Aren't we women born to bear children for our husbands' families? What about having more children?"

Mother Wu nodded and continued: "In addition, the age of our Qiangzi also matters here. As long as the two young people are willing, this matter can be done as quickly as possible."

It’s not easy to meet the right person in the face of long nights and many dreams.

Wu Jinjin said: "Auntie, there is basically nothing wrong with what you said. However, since you have said it to this extent, let's open the skylight and speak openly. I will also speak on behalf of my mother about our family. condition."

"Say." Mother Wu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Grandma Wu looked at the sharp-tongued Wu Jinjin, and her heart was full of pride.

Fortunately, she gave birth to such an outstanding daughter, otherwise who would support her?

Wu Jinjin continued: "In addition to the household registration and small bungalow your family promised in advance, our family also needs a bride price of three thousand yuan."

Three thousand yuan? !

Grandma Wu looked at Wu Jinjin in surprise.

Didn't it only cost two thousand as promised? Why did it suddenly become three thousand?

Wu Jinjin patted Grandma Wu's hand gently, signaling her not to be surprised.

She finally saw that the Wu family was not short of money at all.

Since she was not short of money, of course she wanted more.

This incredible wealth only comes once.

Hearing this, Mother Wu put the tea cup on the table and knocked it gently, "Will your family sell their daughter or marry her off?"

Country people are country people, and there is no ambiguity at all when it comes to selling their daughters.

Even if it's not your biological child, there's no need to be so cruel, right?

At this time, if an ordinary family in the capital married a daughter-in-law, they would only need 500 yuan as a gift.

But their family is very good. They want a house and money, and they can get three thousand for one mouthful!

Wu Jinjin smiled and said: "Auntie, what you said is serious. As the saying goes, a thousand miles of marriage is tied by a thread. If Yan Yu and Xiao Wu in our family really have no fate, then there will be nothing we can do as family members."

This means taking a break!

When Wu Qiang heard this, he immediately became anxious, "We are destined. Yan Yu and I are very destined. Three thousand is three thousand, and the conditions proposed by your family are not a problem."

Wu Yanyu was so beautiful, and she was a young lady. Let alone three thousand, even if it was thirty thousand, Wu Qiang would find a way to get it together.

Wu's mother rolled her eyes at Wu Qiang because she hated the iron.

She originally wanted to lower the price, but she didn't expect her son to be so unsatisfied that he couldn't move his feet when he saw a beautiful girl.

Now that everyone has opened the skylight and spoken openly, Wu’s mother stopped being secretive and continued: “In order to show the sincerity of our Wu family, let’s make a letter. We can pay the bride price first, and then find a date for the two families to get married. Let’s sit down to have a meal together and decide on the wedding date. As for the house, your family can’t move in until they get married.”

"Okay." Wu Jinjin nodded.

Mother Wu turned to look at Grandma Wu, "What about you? Do you think there is a problem?"

After all, Wu Yanyu was raised by Grandma Wu. Mother Wu felt that she still had to seek Grandma Wu's opinion.

Grandma Wu said: "I don't have any objection either."

They were willing to give her so much money, a small bungalow, and a new household registration. What else could she not want to do?

Mother Wu came well prepared today and took out three stacks of RMB from her bag, "This is three thousand yuan. We are creating a document and this matter is settled."

"Okay, okay." Grandma Wu nodded.

Neither Grandma Wu nor Wu Jinjin can read, so how to establish the evidence depends entirely on Wu's mother and Wu Lan.

The two of them only need to press their fingerprints.

Until she walked out of Wu Lan's house, Grandma Wu still felt a little unreal, "Jin Jin, will our family really have a two-story bungalow with a yard in the future?"

"Of course it's true!" Wu Jinjin nodded, "Not only that, you still have three thousand yuan in your pocket now!"

Grandma Wu touched her pocket.

Sure enough, the three thick stacks of banknotes were still there!

Wu Jinjin continued: "How about your daughter? I have the ability, right? The gift of two thousand yuan, I insisted on talking about three thousand yuan! According to your idea, you only need a house and nothing else. Wouldn't it be a big loss? Sent?"

A total of three thousand yuan!

Who in the ordinary family can have so much money?

Rich people are just different.

Grandma Wu smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you have the ability!"

No wonder people say that my daughter is my mother’s caring little cotton-padded jacket!

Wu Jinjin continued: "Mom, now that we have money, let's buy bicycles and sewing machines?"

"Okay! Let's go right now!"

A bicycle and a sewing machine together cost more than 1,100 yuan, but Grandma Wu was not lenient at all when paying.

...

After Wu Yanyu returned home, she changed out of her long skirt and into her usual patched clothes.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Grandma Wu came back with a smile on her face and two roast chickens in her hands.

"Dalong and Erlong, come to eat roasted chicken!" Grandma Wu called Wu Dalong and Wu Erlong over to eat roasted chicken.

As soon as they heard that there was roast chicken, the two little guys were so happy that they immediately ran over like crazy. Wu Erlong pulled off a chicken drumstick and said, "I'll give the drumstick to the eldest sister to eat!"

Grandma Wu's face darkened, "Don't give it to her!"

Wu Yanyu had just embarrassed her in the Wu family, and Grandma Wu was still angry.

At this moment, Wu Yanyu came over with a skirt. Grandma Wu quickly hid the roasted chicken, "What are you doing here?"

Wu Yanyu put the skirt aside and said, "Grandma, I can't have this skirt. Please return it to my aunt."

She always felt uneasy wearing this skirt.

"Wear what's given to you." Grandma Wu said.

"No, let's give it back to aunt." After saying this, Wu Yanyu turned and left.

Grandma Wu herself had deep opinions on Wu Yanyu. At this time, she even felt that Wu Yanyu could not stand up to the stage.

It's just a skirt, is it worth this for her?

In the afternoon, Wu Yanyu came to the noodle shop as scheduled.

It was two o'clock when the noodle shop was resting. Seeing Wu Yanyu, Zhou Qingxiang greeted him enthusiastically, "Little girl, you are here."

"Aunt."

Zhou Qingxiang continued: "Come in quickly, our boss is inside."

Wu Yanyu followed Zhou Qingxiang inside.

As soon as he walked inside, Wu Yanyu saw a familiar figure, "Yanyan?"

Ni Yan was also a little surprised and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhou, the young girl you mentioned who applied for the job is not Yan Yu, right?"

Zhou Qingxiang was also stunned, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, that's her, Yanyan, so you know each other?"

Ni Yan moved a chair for Wu Yanyu to sit down, "We are not just acquaintances, we are also good friends." Ni Yan had a good impression of Wu Yanyu. This little girl always gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Wu Yanyu looked at Ni Yan with surprise that could not be concealed in his eyebrows, "Yanyan, are you the owner of this store?"

Ni Yan nodded, "Yeah."

"Yanyan, you are so awesome." Someone like Ni Yan must have a good family background, unlike her, who was born in a poor family and had nothing, not even enough to fill her stomach.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious. Every little girl has dreamed of being a princess.

Wu Yanyu is no exception.

Ni Yan continued: "Yan Yu, are you looking for a job?"

"Yeah." Wu Yanyu nodded, "Yanyan, can you give me a job?"

Ni Yan hesitated, "Yan Yu, you are only seventeen years old this year. According to regulations, our store cannot recruit minors. In this way, my other store is still short of long-term workers, and the monthly salary is 40 yuan. You see Are your parents willing to come?"

After all, Ni Yan was open to do business, and her competitors were all staring at her eagerly. If she really hired a child laborer, it would be no different than asking for trouble.

As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind. At present, she cannot afford to take such a risk.

However, she especially wanted to help Wu Yanyu, so she proposed to hire Wu Yanyu's parents.

Monthly salary 40?

Wu Yanyu's eyes lit up after hearing this!

The combined monthly salary of Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju is less than 20 yuan. If they work at Ni Yan's place, they will earn 80 yuan a month!

With this 80 yuan, I don’t have to worry about my two younger brothers’ schooling and food and clothing issues!

Wu Yanyu said excitedly: "Can my parents really come to work?"

Ni Yan nodded, "Yeah."
