"Okay, you go ahead, and be careful on the road."
Liu Cuilan burped after eating a lot for the first ti, feeling like the food was stuck in her throat.
After the third daughter left, she turned around and noticed that the two at the table were still eating.
A whole bottle of Lao Gan Ma was nearly devoured by those two.
This stuff is oily and full of beans and peppers, with a thick layer of oil floating on top as if it cost nothing, it certainly isn’t cheap.
She couldn’t let them finish it all in one al.
She imdiately put on a stern face and snapped the lid shut: "Are you two reincarnated from starved ghosts? Eating this much in the morning, aren’t you afraid you’ll overeat?"
"Mom, don’t worry, after we eat, we’ll go for a walk. We’ll digest it soon."
Liu Cuilan: "..."
Is she worried about the two of them? No, she’s concerned about the Lao Gan Ma.
"No more eating, you’ll make yourself sick if you eat any more."
Without hesitation, Liu Cuilan twisted the lid shut and held it in her hands.
These two spendthrifts, in the course of one al, the Lao Gan Ma left in the glass jar was less than two-fifths.
With Lao Gan Ma taken away, the two stood up, rubbing their round bellies.
Su Jianwu looked longingly at the Lao Gan Ma in his mother’s hands: "Mom, can we have this Lao Gan Ma for breakfast tomorrow?"
This stuff is just too delicious, so fragrant and spicy, really addictive.
Liu Cuilan glared at him: "What are you thinking? Save it for when your brothers co back. There’s no good in finishing all the food at once."
After saying this, she turned around holding the Lao Gan Ma and locked it in a drawer.
The two younger brothers looked longingly, thinking how generous their third sister is, unlike their stingy mother.
Su Xiaoxiao sneezed uncontrollably, who was thinking about her again?
She hopped on her bicycle and just left the yard when a gust of north wind hit her, making her shiver.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a car? In this weather, stepping out with the heat on would be fantastic.
Once the policy loosens in a few years, she’ll definitely get a car.
Thinking this, she sighed and pedaled out.
Just after riding out of the gate, she vaguely heard footsteps behind her.
Out of the corner of her eye, she seed to see a tall figure a short distance behind her.
She quickened her speed, and the person imdiately sped up too.
Clearly, they were following her.
Su Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat, could it be a highway robber this early morning?
Just as she thought of this, she heard the breathing rapidly approaching, as she attempted to speed up, soone grabbed the back of her bike.
Could she be this unlucky? eting a bad person first thing in the morning?
By now everyone was heading to work, if she shouted for help, surely soone would hear.
Without further ado, Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, preparing to scream for help, and imdiately a familiar voice ca from behind.
"Sister, finally caught up with you! Why do you ride so fast? I’m exhausted chasing you."
This voice...
Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and finally saw who it was.
It was Chen Tieshan.
Why was he so wrapped up this morning?
Earlier, Chen Tieshan was wearing a thick military coat, with a brown scarf tightly wrapped from his neck to below his nose.
It wasn’t easy to recognize him at first glance.
Seeing her silent and only staring at his scarf, Chen Tieshan scratched his head awkwardly: "Your sister-in-law knitted this scarf for , afraid I’d get cold. She insisted on knitting it herself, took over half a month."
In reality, the scarf was simple, could be finished in three or four days, but Zhang Xiaohong found it troubleso halfway and didn’t want to continue.
He had to persuade her to keep knitting.
"How does it look? One-of-a-kind, soft, and warm."
Chen Tieshan held the scarf with both hands, his face showing a lovesick expression.
Su Xiaoxiao felt goosebumps rising, such an overwhelming love-struck look.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the scarf had uneven stitches and many holes, the wind would probably pass right through.
"Ahem, Brother Chen, what do you need from ?"
She cleared her throat and asked, interrupting Chen Tieshan’s display.
Watching a tough-looking man showing such a lovesick expression in front of her was quite unsettling.
Only then did Chen Tieshan rember his real purpose.
He quickly reached into his coat, pulled out a stack of banknotes, and stuffed them into Su Xiaoxiao’s hands: "Sister, as promised, the profit from the first batch of sewing machines, originally 227.5, I rounded it up to 230 for you. How’s that, didn’t I keep my word?"
Over 200?
Su Xiaoxiao was astonished. She only had a 3.5% share.
Even at 3.5%, there’s so much, how much were they selling each sewing machine for?
Chen Tieshan must have sensed her surprise, patiently explaining: "We sell each sewing machine for 285, and they’re still in short supply. Next ti, Sister, make sure to get Brother a few more, these things are crazy lucrative."
285!
Isn’t that quite overpriced? They’re making 65 off each one, which is nearly her two-month salary.
But she’s getting a share, so the higher the price, the better for her.
"Alright, Sister, once those electronic watches are sold, I’ll bring you your share. You can count this batch first."
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t need to count, she already heard the notification in her mind, just delightful.
Getting wealthy first thing in the morning, she felt even better.
Since he ca to give her money, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t let him leave empty-handed, she pretended to reach into her bag, actually drawing two bottles of Lao Gan Ma from a small space warehouse, and stuffed them into Chen Tieshan’s hands.
"Brother Chen, I don’t have much to give you, take this back to eat, one bottle for you and one for sister-in-law."
"Oh, co on, we agreed on this, why be so polite? Do you not see as your brother anymore?"
Chen Tieshan hesitated to accept, seeing the delicately packaged glass bottles, they looked expensive.
Su Xiaoxiao deliberately straightened her face: "Brother Chen, if you don’t take it, you’re saying you don’t consider your sister."
Hearing her words, Chen Tieshan reluctantly accepted it.
Adopting this adopted sister through Zhang Xiaohong was a huge win, not only because she’s capable but also generous.
He’s decided, from now on, Su Xiaoxiao is his real sister.
Little did Su Xiaoxiao know, the Lao Gan Ma she casually gave away touched Chen Tieshan deeply.
"Brother Chen, I need to go. If you need anything, co to , I’ll give you a family discount."
Rembering the eting with Chen ilan, Su Xiaoxiao saw it was getting late, quickly bid farewell to Chen Tieshan, and rode off.
Holding the two bottles of Lao Gan Ma, Chen Tieshan watched her leave, feeling even more moved.
Look at that, what a sister to have, even better than a blood one.
Su Xiaoxiao rode all the way to the agreed state-owned restaurant and ran into a familiar face right at the entrance.
