When the café was renovated, it was New Year's Day. Chen Xin found someone to install the tables, chairs and equipment that had been booked before, and after cleaning, she locked the door, and waited until New Year's Day to find a good time to start business.

The cooperation agreement signed with Uncle Liu began on October 1 and ended on September 30 in '98.

When the decoration was completed, she also specially invited Uncle Liu and his family to come and see, but the other party refused under the pretext that he was busy with work.

Chen Xin didn't get angry, what should she do or continue to do, but changed the object of the report to Grandpa Liu. Grandpa Liu and his wife were already disappointed in their son, but they couldn't say anything. The mentality of the two sons is like this, they can follow the advice and take the money out to help Chen Xin, and they think that they are worthy of Chen Xin to take care of the old couple for them, and all other requests are politely refused.

"These two fools don't know how to lay eggs when they hold the golden rooster. Forget it, they don't have this fate. Grandpa Liu snorted coldly at home, turned his head to look at his wife, "Did you tell your daughter, what did she say?"

The girl agreed, but she didn't have enough money for the past two days, and she wouldn't have the money until next month. The girl said that she also thought that the house price might rise, so she bought a second-hand house with her sister-in-law before, but now the sister-in-law needs money to get married, and the house can only be sold quickly and does not make much money. She originally wanted to continue to buy it, but her man disagreed, thinking it was a blind toss. The girl said that she would divide the money directly, and she would send back half of her house at that time, so that we could help her show her a house here and buy it in her name. ”

"She does this, Jiaming wants to agree?"

"The girl said that Jiaming had to listen to her about this. Before, it was because her sister-in-law was mixed together, she was not good at acting alone, and it was good to be separated now, so as not to be involved. Also, the girl said that she was also interested in Xiaoxin's coffee shop and asked if she could join in now. ”

"This is not good, we proposed that Xiaoxin Bacheng would agree, but the coffee shop has already been renovated and is just waiting to open, and then mixing it in at this time is like picking up a bargain, no." ”

Grandma Liu actually thought so in her heart, but after a while, she suddenly thought of an idea.

"Then you say, how about letting the girl pay back the eldest son's money for Xiaoxin? In this case, let them talk about it themselves, I guess the girl is not so short-sighted, maybe it can be done. ”

Grandpa Liu thought about it and nodded, saying that Chen Xin would come over to see them the day after tomorrow, and mention it depending on the situation at that time, if Chen Xin agreed, he would let his daughter take the money out to settle his son's daughter-in-law's investment in advance, and then talk about other things.

Chen Xin and the others here have been found, and the barista can only be used by herself at present. And she asked her professor to buy a commercial semi-automatic coffee machine on Hong Kong Island, which cost a small 20,000 yuan, but this machine is very complete and is enough for their fledgling coffee shop. Other siphon, filter and drip cups have also been purchased in a batch, so that coffee lovers who like to do it themselves will fulfill their long-cherished wishes.

After all, in the early 90s, it was not very convenient to import coffee beans from abroad, unless the flesh came back, and if it was a large quantity, it would have to be tossed and turned. As for the coffee beans in China, she also mentioned it to Teacher Song and Cheng Jie, and they planned to go over to inspect it in person.

Now the clerks are also recruited by Cheng Jie, and the training will be carried out from the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and strive to be fully employed before the first day of February.

Only the pastry chef and pastry chef need to find a master, otherwise they would rather not let the food in the store drag down the grade.

The inner pastry master is much weaker than that of the coast, so Cheng Jie plans to contact her classmates and friends in the coast to see if there is a way to find two skilled people to support the scene.

In fact, Chen Xin can also make simple pastries, she has learned a lot of cake methods, and she can dominate the field when she makes two of them. But the problem is that Chen Xin's focus is still on her studies, and it is impossible to give up her future because of a shop.

The result of her discussion with Cheng Jie was that if she couldn't invite a master, she would provide a limited number of matching pastries every day, and she would not accept order service, so she could buy anything.

After roughly arranging the opening of the business, Chen Xin was asked how to spend the New Year, if there was nowhere to go alone, when she went to Teacher Song's house together, Chen Xin shook her head and politely declined Cheng Jie's invitation.

"This year, I plan to take Zhang Zhang back to his father's hometown to see his grandparents. Zhang Zhang was young before, and we were financially tight at that time, so we didn't think about taking him back. Now the conditions are much better, Zhang Zhang can also walk on his own, we took the train to the county seat and then took the shuttle bus to the village, it is really not possible to see if we can charter a car back in the county seat. ”

Chen Xin still tends to charter a car back, she plans to bring more things to see the two elders this time, if she wants to take the little fat man, she will have to toss and transfer the car to catch the car, it is better to charter a car to go back directly.

But the long-distance chartered car has a bad thing is that people are not familiar with it and are prone to accidents, she is a weak and graceful woman with a young child, and she is really remembered that there is no way to ask for help.

At the end of the year, the military region came to express condolences to the families of the martyrs, and the officer who came was a newcomer to his post and did not know much about the situation of Chen Xin's family. The comrade-in-arms and Chen Xin's brother-in-law are fellow villagers, and the villages where the two families are located are also relatively close.

After hearing Chen Xin's plans for this year, Officer Yu said that he could go and ask if anyone was going there, and if they stopped by, he could take them for a ride. When I arrived in the county seat, many of Director Yu's classmates and friends worked there, so I could help find a car to send Chen Xin's aunt and nephew back to the countryside.

Hearing this, Chen Xin happily told Director Yu the mobile phone number she had newly bought, and said that she could contact her directly by phone when the time came.

Although the mobile phone of ninety-eight is very expensive, it is not something that ordinary people cannot afford. It's just that in just two or three years, Chen Xin has moved twice, and now she still uses a mobile phone and computer, which makes the officers from the military region mutter a little in their hearts.

Chen Xin just wrote the phone number to Director Yu, and the mobile phone rang.

It was the magazine that called, saying that it was because another columnist had a temporary accident and the section was vacant, and the magazine just wanted to do a special feature for the Spring Festival, so they asked Chen Xin if she would like to take this job.

After asking about the requirements and time, Chen Xin promised to send them the things within the specified time, turned her head and hung up the phone and called Mr. Lu to make an appointment to take pictures.

"I'm sorry, but this job is a tight schedule. After the arrangements were made, Chen Xin smiled and planned to send off the guests.

"You're studying now, if you want to juggle work, do you have enough energy?" Director Yu is also a new father, for fear that Chen Xin will ignore Zhang Zhang because he is busy making money.

"This job is actually not busy, it is to contribute to the column of the magazine, and generally there is a fixed time, but this time it was another writer who had something to do, so I was on top. The income of the magazine is good, there is less work and more money, and the schedule is relatively free, and the editor of the other party also knows that I have a child at home, so the task is not heavy. I rely on this for my children's daily expenses, and I save half of the money from those small businesses, and the other half to improve the living environment. In the future, Zhang Zhang's study will cost money when he is older. ”

Director Yu just said it casually, he didn't think too much about it in his heart, and after seeing that Chen Xin had arranged his life with his children properly, he told her to pay more attention to her own safety and left.

On the way back, the comrades-in-arms who came with him laughed: "Sure enough, I still have to study more." I've heard people talk about Chen Xin and her nephew Zhang Zhang. That girl is also a hard-working person, and her sister finally stabilized a little, but she encountered Lao Zhang's sacrifice, her sister also left, and there was no one at home to help, everyone thought that she would refuse to raise her nephew, who knew that people not only raised it, but also raised it very well, and lived a good life. ”

"So you still have to study, you see, people are only in college to contribute to the magazine, it seems that the income is definitely more than what she said. The house she lived in was also bought with a lump sum payment, and the previous small dormitory was not sold. I went to inquire, and Lao Zhang's pension account was moved except at the beginning, and later the money was returned, and the account was never touched again. ”

The two big men gossiped for a while, and finally had to say that Chen Xin, this little girl, is really powerful.
