When Chi Yiyuan first left, Chi Ge, like Su Xiaotian, couldn't adapt.
But now, he has obviously adapted to this kind of life.
Although my grandson is not around, it is very lively with so many children around me.
Especially the child Xiaotian, who often comes over to talk with him to relieve his boredom.
After Chi Ge thought about it, life became much better.
On the first day after the holiday, Su Xiaotian put on a thick cotton coat in the morning and went to the orphanage with a huge sum of five hundred yuan.
Su Xiaoba and Su Xiaojiu accompanied their little sister.
The once lonely courtyard was now bustling with activity. Before I even entered the door, I heard the chirping sounds of a group of children.
"It's already winter vacation!" Su Xiaoba said with a smile.
The three eldest children have already gone to school, so they don’t make such a noise on weekdays.
They pushed the door open and went in.
When a group of little carrot heads saw Xiaoba, Xiaojiu and Xiaotian, they rushed over like a swarm of swarms, almost knocking Su Xiaotian staggering.
"Slow down, slow down, your sweet sister is going to be hit by you!" Li Yuniang shouted in a hurry.
Several children obviously discovered this problem, so they stepped back a little and apologized to Su Xiaotian.
"Sister Xiaotian, I'm sorry, we won't be like this again!"
Under the leadership of the eldest Xiaowei, several little carrot heads apologized to Su Xiaotian.
"It's okay, but you have to be more careful in the future. It will be bad if you fall."
Su Xiaotian whispered to the little ones, and touched the little round hairy braid.
"Sister Xiaotian, are you out of school too?" Xiaoguang asked Su Xiaotian, raising her head.
"Yes, I'm after school too. Come on, my brother and sister have brought you candies, two for each of you."
Su Xiaotian took out the White Rabbit toffee from her bag and gave it to Xiaowei, the eldest, and asked him to share it with his younger brothers and sisters.
Every time Su Xiaotian comes, she will bring some snacks, fruits and the like.
The little ones are already used to it. After the theft, they happily share the candies and eat them.
Su Xiaotian smiled and greeted several elderly people.
After knowing that the elderly were in good health, I felt relieved.
"Grandma Li, I heard that you are also selling steamed buns now?" Su Xiaotian asked.
The smile on Li Yuniang's face faded a little and she said: "Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and fewer and fewer people eat cold noodles and cold noodles. I am thinking about it, I always have to find something to do, and the only thing I can do is
It’s the skill of making buns that your grandma taught me.”
Su Xiaotian smiled and asked, "How is business now?"
"Fortunately, business was not very good in the first few days. I only made about ten yuan a day. Now it is much better."
"That's good. It's just that you two are older, so you have to take care of yourself."
Su Xiaotian warned that you should never tire yourself out just to make money.
Food business sounds easy, but in fact, the hard work involved is something that others cannot understand.
If nothing else, just sell steamed buns.
The dough needs to be fermented at night, and you have to get up at three or four o'clock before dawn, chop the fillings, and knead the buns. You have to put the buns on the basket and steam them before others get up.
After all, a day's work is not short.
At this age, the two old people are so tired that they may not be able to hold on.
"The two people your grandfather found for us, Dafang and Xiaoxu, were very hardworking and did all the physical work. These days, we have hired two more women to help make the buns, so they are not very tiring."
Su Xiaotian guessed that if it weren't for the adoption of these children, the two parents would not have to work so hard to make money.
She took out a thick stack of money from her bag and handed it to Li Yuniang.
Li Yuniang declined because she was busy.
"Xiaotian, you are also a student yourself. We have some income, so we can't always collect money from you. You can spend the money yourself."
Tan Zishi also said: "Xiaotian, don't always think about us, we can survive here."
Su Xiaotian smiled slightly and said: "Grandpa Tan, Grandma Li, you two can accept it with confidence, I still have money in my hand."
"This is also my little thought for the children. The Chinese New Year will be coming soon. I have to let the children eat something good and wear new clothes."
A piece of clothing and a piece of cloth may not cost much, but with so many children, one piece of clothing for each person will cost a lot.
When Li Yuniang heard what Su Xiaotian said, she immediately grinned.
"Yishang Taohua came over a few days ago and said that she would provide the candies and melon seeds for the children during the Chinese New Year. Your fourth brother asked for them and he had them delivered. Your mother also said that she would prepare the New Year's Eve dinner for your brothers.
send over."
Li Yuniang was very emotional. The couple decided to open an orphanage because of a moment of soft-heartedness. But in fact, with the arrival of winter, their cold skin business and cold noodle business were not as good as before, and they really had to rely on this income to support these children.
, very difficult.
Fortunately, with the help of people like the Su family, Chi family and Du family, money and materials are constantly sent over, so these children can live a good life.
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh when she heard Li Yuniang talking about how everyone helped celebrate the New Year.
I didn't expect that even my fourth brother would express his intention to send New Year's goods. It's really not easy.
"Xiaotian, please take this money back. When we have a hard time, we will come back to you."
Su Xiaotian forced the money into Li Yuniang's pocket and said, "Grandma Li, since we want to sell steamed buns, why not open a breakfast shop directly? This money can be used as start-up capital."
Always setting up a stall to sell, on the one hand, people suffer, and on the other hand, it is a waste of time.
After hearing this, Li Yuniang was also tempted.
Yes, if you open a regular shop by yourself, your income should be more stable.
"In that case, I will accept it first, Xiaotian. From now on, we will get 50% of the harvest from this shop. What do you think?" Li Yuniang directly talked about the share.
Su Xiaotian has to share the portion of the braised meat shop where Su Xiaotian provides the recipe. Li Yuniang doesn’t think that the breakfast shop Su Xiaotian invests in does not need to share the share with Xiaotian.
But Su Xiaotian obviously didn't think about it.
Her money was originally meant for her children, so what happens if she divides it further?
"Grandma Li, Grandpa Tan, no matter how the store's business goes in the future, part of my share will be invested in the orphanage to improve the lives of the children."
Su Xiaotian feels that as the children grow up, the pressure on the two elders will increase.
After all, in a few years, the children will go to school, and these expenses alone will be a big expense.
When the children go to high school or college, the expenses will increase even more.
The two elders of the Tan family are getting older and older. If they don't save money earlier, they won't be able to work anymore in a few years.
Tan Zishi had something to say, but Li Yuniang spoke first.
"Xiaotian, if you're polite, I won't say much more. On behalf of the children, I would like to thank you!"
