"Mom, I'm going to discuss it with you, the next June, July, and August, that is, before the start of the university, I want Xiaoxue to help you, and I don't care about the things in the store."

"Huh?" Hearing Lin Xiaoman say this, Yao Jianfen was a little puzzled for a while.

"That's right, Mom, Xiaoxue will definitely be able to be admitted to college." Lin Xiaoman opened his eyes and said nonsense, "If you go to college, the cost will definitely be more than that of high school." I just thought, she doesn't have anything to do during the summer vacation anyway, and if she goes out for a summer job, we don't feel at ease, right? ”

"That's just as well." Zhixue is beautiful and weak-looking, Yao Jianfen really doesn't worry about her going to work outside alone, and they don't have any summer jobs in the town.

"Well, it's better to stay in the store and help you work, so that I can write more stories, earn more manuscript fees, and help a little more." Lin Xiaoman's face is sincere, and she looks like a good sister who thinks about her sister.

Yao Jianfen thought for a few seconds, and felt that what Lin Xiaoman said was very reasonable, money, of course, the more you earn, the better, "Xiaoqiu, you are right." However, I don't know if your sister can do this job. ”

Zhixue almost didn't do heavy work, and Yao Jianfen was inevitably a little worried.

"Mom, she's 19 years old, how can she not do this kind of work? In the morning, I can't catch up on my sleep, and I can also write while watching the store, three people are definitely easier than two. ”

"Okay, listen to you, I'll talk to her in the evening."

"Mom, Xiaoxue has always been well-behaved, she must be willing. By the way, Mom, I have one more thing, isn't the rent due in August? The day before yesterday, the landlord Yang Pandi came to visit, and I heard that she meant to raise the rent again. ”

"Rent increase? Didn't it just rise the year before last? Yao Jianfen frowned, and her face became ugly.

"Mom, I've inquired, this street is the highest rent for us! She still wants to rise, which is clearly bullying! Lin Xiaoman said indignantly.

The landlord Yang Pandi is probably a type who can't see the good of others. When their mother and daughter first arrived in the town and were destitute, Yang Pandi would also help them from time to time, and enthusiastically introduced manual work to Yao Jianfen.

When I heard that Yao Jianfen was going to open a store, not only was the rent low, but Yang Pandi also helped a lot inside and out.

However, as time passes, the business of their steamed bun shop is getting better and better, and their life is getting better, Yang Pandi is obviously red-eyed, and he can't see that the poor mother and daughter who still need her to live better than their own home.

Lin Xiaoman estimated that Yang Pandi secretly regretted in his heart, a kind of mentality of 'knowing that he would open his own steamed bun shop in the first place', so he raised the rent every once in a while, just to drive them away so that he could take over.

The 'stealing of teachers' incident that occurred later is a good proof of this.

"What can I do? Hey......" Yao Jianfen sighed, feeling bitter in her heart, she only saw that their steamed bun shop was doing well, but she didn't look at the hard work behind her back, it was all earned by their mothers who got up early and worked in the dark!

"Mom, let's talk to her again this year, if she rises a little bit, forget it, we won't care. But if she speaks too outrageously, we will take a tough attitude and just stop renting and change places! ”

Although Yang Pandi and her daughter-in-law opened a steamed bun shop and made money for a while by relying on that inappropriate small means, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are obviously honest profiteers who are honest on the surface and have a bad stomach on the inside.

Soon there was an overnight bag, and the business faded in less than two years, and then there was a time when several people were bad, and the matter became big, not only the store was closed, but also lost a lot of medical expenses, and the Yang family was also to blame for their own bad retribution.

So Lin Xiaoman is not ready to do anything.

And now that they haven't mastered the steamed bun technique, Lin Xiaoman estimates that Yang Pandi doesn't dare to open his mouth.

"But it's so easy to change places." Yao Jianfen frowned.

"Mom, think about it, Xiaoxue has been admitted to college, and she will definitely go to a big city. Haven't we saved a lot of money over the years? We went to the big city where Xiaoxue studied, and opened a steamed bun shop directly in the city, there are many people in the city, and the business is definitely better than in the town. And they are all in the same city, and they are able to take care of each other. After Xiaoxue graduated, the three of us mother and daughter lived together in the city and bought a house, that is, we are real city people! Lin Xiaoman painted a big cake for Yao Jianfen to build a better future.

"City people!!" Yao Jianfen's eyes lit up, and his whole body trembled with excitement, and then his face was full of hesitation, "Can this work?" ”

For a rural woman, it is already very good for her to be able to go to this town, and it is really unthinkable to be a city person.

"Of course, Mom, as long as the buns you make are delicious, you can make money anywhere. What's more, isn't it me? I can earn a fee. This summer, you follow Xiaoxue to practice Mandarin, learn Mandarin, and you are not afraid to go all over the world! Mom, from now on, we will live in the city, live in a big house, and be in front of the city people! ”

Looking at Lin Xiaoman's confident appearance, Yao Jianfen was inevitably infected and looked forward to the future, and then smiled from ear to ear.

"You, how can it be so easy." After laughing for a while, Yao Jianfen returned to reality, "But I think Xiaoqiu is right, Xiaoxue will definitely stay in the big city after graduation in the future, but she is a girl, she has no relatives in the city, what if there is a headache and brain fever!" Or you plan for the long term, we also go to the city, and we can also have a care, as long as the family is together, it doesn't matter if the early stage is hard, we will be able to get through. ”

"But I'm definitely not going to the city this year, I think it's too hasty, let's go up the rent a little bit. I still have to rent it for another year, and when Xiaoxue's notice arrives, which school to go to is determined, let her be a pioneer, I heard that the university has weekends off, it's very empty.

When the time comes, let Xiaoxue feel the situation first, and we will have enough time to slowly find a foothold. Moreover, as soon as the results of Xiaoxue's college entrance examination come out this year, our steamed buns will definitely be sold for a while, maybe like the time after the high school entrance examination, people from the town next door will also come to buy steamed buns to be happy! We need to seize this opportunity and make more money. ”

"Mom, it's still thoughtful and thoughtful." Lin Xiaoman was very cooperative with a look of admiration.

The mother and daughter are once again at home with a 'bright future'. Then, Zhou Xiang in green uniform came again, "Yo, Sister Yao is back, Xiaoxue's college entrance examination is over, right?" How's it going? ”

"The results haven't come out yet, and I don't know!" Yao Jianfen chatted with him enthusiastically, "Brother Zhou, why are you here, do you have a letter from my family?" ”

"Brother, I'm here to send you money!" Zhou Xiang smiled, took out the list from the green mailbox, and his eyebrows were full of envy, "Sister Yao, you are really blessed, your two daughters are so amazing, you really envy us." Look, this is a remittance slip, or two, it's money! Your family knows the autumn, and you have received the manuscript fee again! In the past few days, the remittance slips I have sent add up to hundreds of dollars! ”

"Really!? Brother Zhou, is this money? Yao Jianfen took the remittance slip with surprise and joy, looked at it with novelty, and was excited and ecstatic in her heart.

Seeing the 'money' with her own eyes definitely made her more excited than Lin Xiaoman told her.
