Chapter 510 The President's Cannon Fodder's First Love Sister 16
Relying on the royalties, Lin Xiaoman became a famous figure in their small town, and his reputation even spread to several neighboring towns.
Rumors are so unreliable sometimes.
When it came out from the post office, it was still, 'Zhiqiu has earned hundreds of yuan in royalties by writing articles!'
Well, this is true, but it becomes more and more outrageous as it spreads.
There are rumors that ‘Zhiqiu can make hundreds of dollars every minute!’
There are rumors, 'Zhiqiu has saved tens of thousands of dowry money!'
There is a rumor that 'Zhiqiu's calligraphy will be worth a fortune in the future, just like the calligraphy and paintings of ancient literati!'
There are rumors, 'In fact, Yao Jianfen's husband is from the city and is a big leader. He got married when he went to the mountains and countryside. Later, he left the three of them behind in order to return to the city. Now he has come to ask for his mother's help.
The three women recognized it and it was he who sent the money back!'
…
In short, all kinds of things are outrageous. Every day, many people come to take advantage of the opportunity to buy steamed buns to check out the rare things, inquire about the situation, and establish relationships...
Every day during dinner, Yao Jianfen would talk to Lin Xiaoman about the day's events, such as...
"Wang Fang, the loudspeaker, is here again today. What do you think she wants to do? Hey, she is actually going to be a matchmaker for you, Xiaoqiu! She actually wants to introduce you to her nephew. Her mouth is so open that she will put her nephew in heaven and earth.
Bah, who doesn’t know that her nephew is just a second-rate guy who doesn’t do his job properly! I don’t think she is beautiful, but I think she is really beautiful!”
"Xiaoqiu, guess who is here today? Liu Daqing is actually here! I didn't expect that Liu Daqing is really a snobbery when looking at her honesty. Today she had nothing to say and talked a lot with me. All she said was for her.
My son is talking and wants you two to reconcile. Hum, I don’t think I know that as soon as Ran Fei broke up with you, he got close to that girl from the Li family, and both of their families had dinner together!
It depends on whether you make money and then regret it."
"Oh, Xiaoqiu, you don't know. Mr. Xu came here today, and he praised you for being so awesome! He also asked me what you wrote, and he wanted to buy some newspapers later and take a good look at your article.
.”
"Xiaoqiu..."
In short, Lin Xiaoman was famous, and the fame directly brought about the celebrity effect. The business of the steamed stuffed bun shop skyrocketed and doubled or tripled.
Behind the huge profits is the increase in daily sales, and the number of buns sold every day has doubled, so of course the daily workload has also doubled.
In this age without machines, just kneading dough is a tiring job. Not only is the work tiring, but as the days go by and it gets closer to summer, the temperature is getting higher day by day.
When steaming steamed buns, it just feels hot, stuffy, tired and uncomfortable.
Lin Xiaoman makes so much money just by writing, so Yao Jianfen will not put the cart before the horse and ask her to work making steamed buns. All the work in this store falls on Yao Jianfen and Zhixue.
Although she is tired, Yao Jianfen is a person who has been through hard work. She makes money, and no matter how hard or tired she is, she feels sweet in her heart.
As for Zhixue, who was not used to it at first, due to the increased workload, the fatigue on her face became more and more intense. Even if she had time to catch up on sleep in the morning, she still looked like she was overworked.
Although she was exhausted physically and mentally, Zhixue still gritted her teeth and held on. She had already felt sorry for her mother and sister, so she could only work more to make up for the guilt in her heart.
Yao Jianfen also noticed Zhixue's condition. Although she felt sorry for her daughter, Yao Jianfen was used to living a hard life. From her point of view, this level of fatigue could only be endured by gritting her teeth. Once she got used to it, she would be fine.
Now that business is good, they should work harder, earn more money, and save a sum of money. When Xiaoxue goes to college, they will be relaxed.
Xiaoqiu earns royalties, and the business in the store is so good, maybe next year they will be able to buy a house in the city and become city dwellers!
With the great dream of 'being a city man', Yao Jianfen was full of energy, and at the same time he kept giving Zhixue chicken soup, "Xiaoxue, business has been good recently. Mom knows you are working hard. Grit your teeth and persevere, and you can get through it.
This time, we will soon be able to live a good life..."
In my busy life, June 25th came quickly. This day is a special day, it is the day when the province announces the results of the college entrance examination.
In the early morning, it is customary to get up and make steamed buns. The custom is a morning rush hour. After 7:30, the number of people gradually becomes less and less.
Regular customers who buy steamed buns are not in a hurry, and they almost all say one or two sentences, which are very consistent, basically, "Did you get your grades today? Congratulations first, you are about to have a college student."
"
"I still don't know if Xiaoxue can pass the exam! I'm going to check my results after I've been busy for a while." Yao Jianfen said modestly, but his face was full of smiles, with a proud expression.
Her two daughters have become successful, and she will be able to enjoy happiness when she gets old!
Zhixue on the side is completely opposite to her. Even if someone talks to her, she will either shake her head or just say "hmm". She is silent and unwilling to pay attention to others, always lowering her head.
Recently, Zhixue has been exhausted from getting up at three o'clock every day to make steamed buns and working for days. Now she is not only physically tired, but also feels uneasy and guilty in her heart. There is a feeling that the end of the world is coming.
Uneasy.
She knows that only by studying hard can she change her destiny and live a good life! But when love comes, she cannot control it at all, and now Zhixue has no idea how to face this result...
Throughout the morning, Zhixue looked worried and worried.
Thinking that she was worried about her grades, Yao Jianfen didn't think much about it.
Lin Xiaoman went downstairs before breakfast at eight o'clock, "Mom, Xiaoxue, are you still busy?"
"Sister, you're here, let me go up and take a nap." Zhixue, who didn't know what to do, finally chose to escape. She lowered her head and walked quickly inside, intending to go upstairs.
Lin Xiaoman quickly grabbed her arm when she passed by him, and pulled her involuntarily, "No, it won't be long. The results are coming out today. At this time, Aunt Shen's canteen will definitely be there too."
It’s open, let’s check the results first.”
"Sister, I..." Zhixue was a little anxious when she was grabbed by Lin Xiaoman, with panic on her face.
But before she could finish speaking, Yao Jianfen loudly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, grades are the most important. Let's check the scores first."
After taking a look, there were no customers outside the store. Yao Jianfen neatly locked the cabinet where the money was kept and walked out directly, "Come on, let's go together! It only takes less than ten minutes."
With that said, Yao Jianfen shouted to the shop next door, "Sister Shen, I'm going to go out for a while. If there is anyone, let them take it by themselves. I'll give you the money next time."
In this era, the folk customs in the town are still relatively simple, and there are only a few steamed buns, so Yao Jianfen has nothing to worry about.
"Sister Yao, are you going to check your scores? Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it. You can go without worry."
"Xiaoxue, let's go, let's go." Ignoring Zhixue's resistance, Lin Xiaoman grabbed her arm and dragged her out.
