For them, where they buy groceries is still shopping, right? Buying these things also builds goodwill, who wouldn’t be happy about that?
After the supermarket opened, Lin Deng moved out from the Lin Family and directly stayed on the building of the supermarket. Although going up and down was a bit troubleso for Lin Deng now, the first floor was too damp for living; the second floor was just right. Moreover, living right on the supermarket building ant it took him hardly any ti to co and go.
"I’ve discussed it with Lin Deng, for now, we won’t hire any part-tirs. It’ll just be the two of us watching over the store. We’ll open around eight in the morning until nine at night. Anyway, it’s not tiring—it’s just thirteen or so hours a day. If there’s stock arriving and we can’t manage, then we’ll hire temporary help," He Da said. "But if that’s the case, my ti will basically be in the store. Lin Deng and I plan to cook ourselves in the store. Dad will need to take care of things more at ho. If you find it troubleso to go back and forth, just co eat with us at the supermarket during altis."
When Father He heard about such a long period, he worried about He Da and Lin Deng’s health being unable to endure it. "I can go help during the day when I have nothing to do. You two can take a nap in the afternoon; otherwise, such long hours will be too much for your health. Besides, staying at ho all day drives restless. I may not know much, but I can handle moving goods and organizing things."
He Da smiled, "How can it be tiring without handling goods? It’s just sitting at the entrance and handling cash transactions. When goods sell, just restock them; it’s not exhausting. Dad, stay ho and spend more ti with Zhilan and the kids. If you feel bored, just bring Zhilan and the kids to the store to hang out."
"Second brother, you should spare Dad. Dad probably thinks using all his energy just to look after Little Tuanyuan might suffocate him. Just let Dad help you and Lin Deng so he can be at ease. Although I’m not as physically fit as before, I can still cook and take care of a well-behaved child like Little Tuanyuan, right?" He Zhilan had long realized their father couldn’t stay idle. During the ti when He Da and Lin Deng were stocking up, Father He couldn’t sit at ho. He would have to go look and help out for a bit, then co back with He Da. He’d be especially happy to return with sweat all over his forehead, happier than staying at ho doing nothing.
Seeing this, He Da nodded in agreent but still didn’t let He Zhilan do the cooking, "Regarding als, either let Dad co back to cook for you or ask him to bring the food over to you."
"Fine, fine, fine, you all just indulge as a lazy woman!" He Zhilan nodded in agreent.
It wasn’t until the first weekend after the supermarket officially opened that He Teng managed to co out from the military to take a look at the supermarket. He stayed for a little over half an hour, and upon seeing the business doing well, he returned ho with peace of mind to see his wife and children.
A week had passed again when He Teng saw the Gu Mother standing sneakily nearby the house, and he felt quite distressed.
He Teng could hardly rember how long Gu Mother had been sneaking around this area just to catch a glimpse of He Zhilan, thinking she didn’t know. So one ti, he intentionally ntioned it to He Zhilan, but seeing her expression made it clear she knew, yet pretended to be unaware. He Teng didn’t know how to persuade He Zhilan.
He Teng could understand He Zhilan’s resentnt towards the Gu Family, but whenever he ca ho and saw that dodging figure, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
