Chapter 387: Mother's Heartache
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Julie erased the daily recipe from the small blackboard behind her and wrote the number 442 in chalk.
"The total turnover today is 442 blocks."
Everyone looked at each other, and excitement appeared on their faces.
Before opening, Shen Mingzhu calculated an account for everyone, and the monthly turnover of about 5,000 can maintain a balance of income.
On average, every day, the daily turnover must reach at least 166 yuan to not lose money.
I didn't think that it sold 442 yuan on the first day of opening, which is a good start.
"Okay, it's not early, let's go back and rest early, I'll be there half an hour early tomorrow morning, and we'll have a morning meeting."
After the employees left, Julie closed the doors and windows, locked the door, and then went back to the dormitory.
……
"I don't know what those people think, just a few dishes are sold for 88 yuan, and the big table is sold for 138, and they are willing to pay for it, and they go all the way outside the city, which is really idle."
In the dormitory, Jia Yuemei soaked her feet in the foot bucket while muttering to Shen Xiangnan.
Shen Xiangnan looked at her, "I still want to ask you what you think." People are willing to come to our store to eat and let us make money, but you don't thank you but bury it. There's a reason why my little sister won't let you be the foreman. ”
Jia Yuemei pouted, "What money have you earned?" After selling for so much money, how many can fall into your pocket? ”
"We do all the dirty work, so she just talks about it, and the money goes into her pocket."
Shen Xiangnan retorted, "What do you know, the store is open in this place where birds don't, if it weren't for Xiaomei's favor and relationship, do you think people would be able to come here to eat?" ”
Seeing Jia Yuemei's unconvinced face, Shen Xiangnan said again: "You have the ability, you can also take 10,000 yuan to open a store, and how much you earn will be yours, and no one will rob you." ”
Jia Yuemei was so frightened that she couldn't hold her face, and she lifted her wet foot and put it on Shen Xiangnan's leg.
"What are you doing, my pants are all wet, how can I wear them tomorrow?"
Since the beginning of winter, it has been rainy, and the clothes have not been dried for ten days and half a month, Shen Xiangnan has not brought many clothes, and he can wear this set on his body now.
"How do you like to wear it, if you don't have to wear it, you're naked!"
Outside the door, Julie turned around with an empty basin of water and went to the dormitory where the waitress lived.
Her thermos kettle was broken, and she wanted to borrow some hot water from the couple to scald her feet.
……
Early the next morning, Julie rode a motorcycle into the city to purchase, and reported to Shen Mingzhu by the way.
Regarding the turnover, Shen Mingzhu was not too surprised, after all, the number of tables was booked in advance.
The only exception to this is the possibility of cancellation or postponement.
"Very good, how many tables are booked today?"
"Three tables."
Shen Mingzhu nodded, and then asked about the performance of the employees who opened yesterday.
Julie gave feedback to Shen Mingzhu about some small problems that occurred in the work of several waiters, and did not say that Jia Yuemei complained about Shen Mingzhu.
After all, eavesdropping is not a good act.
What's more, Jia Yuemei is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, in the final analysis, this is also Shen Mingzhu's family matter, and it is not her turn to be an outsider.
……
After Julie left, Shen Mingzhu used the fastest time to deal with the work at hand, and then took her bag home, ready to take Guoguo to the Municipal Women's and Children's Hospital for a check-up.
When the season changes into winter, Guoguo always likes to cough at night.
She had been to the hospital to see a pediatrician before.
The doctor diagnosed that there was no problem, it might be lung fever, and asked her to buy autumn pear paste mixed with water to feed the child.
After drinking for two days, Shen Mingzhu decided to take her daughter to the Municipal Women's and Children's Hospital to have a look.
……
In the autumn and winter seasons, there are really a lot of children with colds, and the city women's and children's hospital is crowded like a vegetable market.
While waiting for the doctor, I communicated with other mothers, and there were many children like Guoguo who had a dry cough for no reason.
The mothers of each family also tried all kinds of home remedies in private, such as stewed pears with Sichuan shellfish, salted orange water, loquat syrup, radish water, etc., but they had no effect, and finally they had to come to the hospital to see a doctor.
There was a queue for almost two hours.
This time, the doctor's diagnosis is a little different from the last time, saying that the body is hot, it is a natural physical problem, many children have, it is not a big problem, and there is no need to take medicine, that is, the usual diet should be light, eat less meat, and eat more vegetables.
It sounds simple, but it is a big problem for Shen Mingzhu.
Since I started eating complementary foods, Guoguo does not like to eat vegetables, but only likes to eat meat, eggs, and fruits.
But for the sake of her daughter's health, no matter how difficult things are, you have to find a way.
If you cough for a long time, it is easy to cause pneumonia.
……
Coming out of the outpatient clinic, Shen Mingzhu carried her daughter to the parking shed, and after walking a few steps, she heard her daughter's milky voice, "Ma Ma, Cheche." ”
"What kind of car, Mom will take a look."
Shen Mingzhu looked around while teasing her daughter, and saw a black Santana parked at the gate of the women's and children's hospital, and a young woman in an off-white tweed coat was bending over to get into the car.
Shen Mingzhu was about to withdraw his gaze, but when he saw the young woman's appearance, he paused slightly.
……
In order to coax Guoguo to eat more vegetables, Shen Mingzhu thought of some ways.
For example, make vegetable cakes, vegetable balls, vegetable ravioli, and colorful noodles with vegetable juice.
Even the baked biscuits are filled with a variety of vegetables.
But even if Shen Mingzhu hollowed out his mind and made all kinds of vegetable snacks, Guoguo still didn't like to eat, even if he fed it in his mouth, he would spit it out, and even knocked over the rice bowl in anger.
This morning, when Shen Mingzhu brought the vegetable noodles that had taken nearly an hour to her daughter, and was slapped over by her daughter, she was so angry that she picked up the person and slapped her ass twice.
It wasn't until she heard her daughter's heart-rending cry that she realized that she had just done something to her daughter.
This is the first time she has hit her daughter.
The child cried breathlessly, and she herself was so angry that she burst into tears.
"Why are you disobedient, is your mother hurting you? Do you want to cough up pneumonia? ”
How can a child who is more than a year old understand the good intentions of adults, he only thinks that his mother is so fierce and cries louder.
Father and son, one coaxed her daughter, the other coaxed her, and Sister Yu cleaned up.
Looking at her daughter who slowly stopped crying in her son's arms, Shen Mingzhu suddenly felt a kind of exhaustion and frustration.
All along, whether it is family or career, she thinks she has taken care of it well.
The son of a natural villain is also growing up healthily according to her ideas.
But only for her own daughter, she has nothing to do.
When she went to work in the factory, she kept thinking about it.
Reflect on whether she is too strong and impatient enough to force her daughter to eat food she doesn't like.
But after thinking about it, is it that she usually spoils her daughter too much, gives whatever she wants, and develops her daughter's delicate and willful character.
I can't calm down, and I can't devote myself to work.
Barely finished the work at hand, Shen Mingzhu got off work early and went home.
"Guoguo is upstairs, Ziheng is playing with her."
Sister Yu was picking vegetable leaves in the yard, and when she saw her go home early, she smiled and opened her mouth without waiting for her to ask.
As a person who has come over, how can he not see that Shen Mingzhu is concerned about his daughter.
Shen Mingzhu came to the second floor, and through the study window, he saw his daughter playing with toys happily, and his heart was astringent.
She walked into the study.
Pei Ziheng saw her first, and shouted "Mom" with bright black eyes.
Guoguo looked at her slowly.
Just when she thought that her daughter would be angry and ignore her because of the morning's incident, her daughter happily stretched out her little hand to her-
"Mom, hug!"
Shen Mingzhu walked over with sour eyes, and when she held her soft daughter in her arms, her tears couldn't help but fall.
All the unhappiness and sadness in my heart have been comforted and healed in my daughter's soft mother. (End of chapter)
