Chapter 17 Grandma's Worries

Hearing that grandma thought she had dropped out of school, Jiang Nan's face froze and she quickly explained: "Grandma, I haven't stopped going to school. It's winter vacation now. I have nothing to do, so I set up a stall and sold Spring Festival couplets just for fun."

After hearing this, grandma looked at Jiangnan for a long time, said nothing, turned around and went out.

After a while, he walked in again, handed a basket to Jiang Nan, and said: "These are the eggs I saved, you can take them back. It's cold, so wear more clothes when setting up the stall. Go back early while the weather is cool. Since the stall is cold,

If you have a good time, just work harder and get up early."

Jiang Nan took it and knew that grandma didn't listen to the explanation just now and didn't know what to say.

Forget it, let my mother come back and explain, "Grandma, I will go back first. My mother will be on vacation in two days, and she will come back to see you. Also...my uncle said he won't come back this year."

Grandma didn't say anything anymore, but just sent Jiang Nan to the door. Jiang Nan walked away. When he turned around, he saw grandma still standing at the door and waved to her.

When she got home, Xu Changying had already cooked dinner and was putting it on the table. When she saw Jiang Nan coming back, she asked, "How is your grandma?"

"Grandma is fine. She's in good spirits, but..." Jiang Nan didn't know what to say.

"What is it?" Xu Changying's heart tightened.

"Grandma is fine. It's just that when grandma left me to eat, I said that we would set up a stall tomorrow morning. Grandma seemed to have misunderstood and thought something had happened to our family. I explained, but grandma didn't seem to listen..." Jiang Nan thought for a moment,

Then he said.

"You kid, I'll go back and talk to grandma in a few days." Xu Changying didn't care, put down the plate of stewed tofu in his hand, and turned back to the kitchen.

The next day was the New Year's Eve, and Xu Changying had to go to work, so Jiang Dongping took the time to go out and buy some food and send it back.

Jiang Nan and his friends were very busy at the street stall, especially Jiang Nan. There was money stretched out in front of his eyes. While he was collecting money and making changes, he was so busy that he was confused and didn't know if he had made any mistakes.

I originally planned to set up a street stall for two more days, but there were so many people shopping on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month that almost everything was sold out before noon. The Spring Festival couplets had already been given away, and there were still some left.

Because the pollution in the area was so serious, Jiangnan didn't intend to take the fabrics and clothing back, so he gave them away half for sale and half for free.

Jin Beibei, Xu Xiaofen and Wang Sihai were already exhausted, their eyes were dull, and they sat slumped on the horse, not even wanting to say anything.

Jiang Nan looked back at the wonton shop. The shop was crowded with people, and some people were holding bowls and eating while standing at the door of the shop. Wang Xia was so busy that she didn't even bother to cook.

Jiang Nan thought for a while, walked over and said to Aunt Wang, "Auntie."

"Xiao Jiang, I'm so busy today. I haven't even cooked the rice yet. If you are hungry, auntie will cook some noodles for you first. The wontons have been sold out a long time ago." Wang Xia turned around and said to Jiang Nan while cooking the noodles.

"Auntie, no, we won't set up a stall in the afternoon. Today is the last day. You see they are all exhausted. I will take them to a restaurant later and treat them to a good meal. I will pack some for you and bring them back.

"

Jiang Nan smiled and pointed at the three people in a daze outside.

"Okay, then Auntie won't care about you eating, so you go and eat quickly. You don't have to help Auntie pack it. I'll just cook some noodles when I'm not busy."

Wang Xia looked outside and saw that her daughter was swaying from exhaustion and said a little distressed.

"Okay, auntie, let's go first." After saying hello to Wang Xia, Jiang Nan shouted outside: "Stop being in a daze, bring the stools back, and I'll invite you to the restaurant."

Jin Beibei was the first to react and turned around and said happily: "Great, I want to eat three cups of chicken."

Wang Sihai also roared excitedly: "Ho ho ho, I want to eat eels."

Xu Xiaofen reacted a moment too late and said cutely: "My mother didn't buy chickens or eels."ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

There are several restaurants in the town. The supply and marketing cooperative has one of its own, called Dadong Hotel. It was the first property to be contracted out. The reason is for no other reason than that it is our own property. We eat and entertain everyone. If we have something to do, we can get together and do it.

Hospitality fees have skyrocketed every year.

After Jiangdong Ping was promoted to deputy director, the Dadong Hotel came under his jurisdiction. He simply proposed to contract out the hotel. Whoever goes to eat in the future will pay for it himself. Reimbursement will not be reimbursed unless approved by the leader. As a result, the eating and drinking trend has been severely stopped.

.

A few people from Jiangnan walked into Dadong Hotel and took a look. Hey, there are more people here. All fifteen tables in the hall were full. Waiters shuttled back and forth to serve food, and even the boss came to the table in person.

Jiang Nan stood in the hall and frowned when he saw the crowded hall.

Li Fuqing had just finished serving the food. When he turned around, he saw several people from Jiangnan standing in the hall. He hurriedly stepped forward, showed his signature smile, and greeted warmly: "Jiangnan, Jin Beibei, Xiaofen, Sihai, come to uncle's place for dinner.

?"

"Hello Uncle Li, we are here to eat, but it seems there is no place now." Jiang Nan said with a smile.

"If others come, why don't you come? Come with uncle."

Li Fuqing led several people through the lobby and through the private rooms. When passing by the private rooms, Jiang Nan noticed that they were also full.

Li Fuqing took several people to the backyard, where his family lived.

He pointed to his dining table and said to Jiang Nan: "There's no room in front, so we'll eat at my uncle's house. I'll have the food delivered here. What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat three cups of chicken." Jin Beibei said first.

"I want to eat eel, two portions." Wang Sihai looked at the crowd and raised his hands.

Li Fuqing smiled and said: "Little guy, if you want two portions, my uncle will give you more decorations later."

Xu Xiaofen remained silent until Jiang Nan asked: "Xu Xiaofen, what about you?"

Xu Xiaofen turned around and said, "I... can do anything."

Jiang Nan looked back at Li Fuqing and said, "Uncle Li, do you have the three-cup chicken and eels?"

Ogawa Restaurant usually doesn't do much business and basically doesn't order food. It usually tells customers what they have today.

Li Fuqing nodded and said with a smile: "We have everything today, but it may be a little slow. Don't worry."

Jiang Nan said: "Uncle Li, except for those two dishes, you can serve three or four faster dishes for the rest. We will wait while we eat. Then serve us two bottles of soda. Finally, you can help me pack the food."

Xiaofen, you can bring these two dishes back to your mother later."

Li Fuqing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to see what I'm going to cook later, and I'll make yours in one pot."

Jiang Nan nodded and said: "Uncle Li, you are busy with your business, don't worry about us."

After Li Fuqing left, several people sat around. Jiang Nan took out the money from his bag and gave fifteen to one person first. Several people took it happily. Then Jiang Nan took out three hundred-yuan bills from his bag and handed them to three people respectively.

Said: "Thanks to everyone for your help this time, this hundred is an extra reward for everyone."

"Jiangnan is grand." Jin Beibei took the money first and did not forget to praise Jiangnan.

"I don't want it anymore. I came late and couldn't help much." Wang Sihai shook his head and said.

"I'm not as good at selling goods as Sister Jin Beibei. I came late and I don't want them either." Xu Xiaofen shook her head.

"Take it, even though I came early, I don't mind. What do you mind?" Jin Beibei persuaded with the money.

"Yeah, I'm not the boss. We don't calculate bonuses based on our efforts. This is the first time for all of us to do business. It's been very hard for everyone. Let's take it." Jiang Nan talked for a long time before Wang Sihai and Xu Xiaofen accepted it.

Down.

"Are you all going back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year?" Jin Beibei asked while tapping the bowl with chopsticks.

"I can't go back to my hometown." Wang Sihai said.

"There is no one left in my hometown." Xu Xiaofen said.

"My dad is on duty on New Year's Eve, and our family won't go back, but we will go out to pay New Year greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year." Jiang Nan also said.

"It would be boring if I didn't go back to my hometown. Celebrating the New Year at the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't feel like the New Year at all. Moreover, my grandfather has marinated the cured fish and bacon in advance. I can't help but drool when I think of this."
