Aunt Wang is a very kind person and has good relationships with everyone.
The original owner didn’t like Aunt Wang before because she was a bit talkative and liked to gossip behind people’s backs.
But thinking about it carefully, it was because Aunt Wang's family didn't have a huge burden. She had a son and a daughter, both ten years old, so she didn't have to worry about them. Her parents-in-law were still healthy and married to the eldest son, while she married the youngest, so she didn't have to worry about them. The men in the family were hardworking and diligent, without any bad habits.
Aunt Wang is considered to be one of the well-off people in Songji Village.
When I have nothing to do, I like to visit people and gossip about what’s going on in other people’s homes.
She is actually a warm-hearted person. Although she talks a lot, she is happy to help anyone who has problems. She has helped take care of Shao Qin many times before.
"Aunt Wang, how come you have time to come here?" Si Muyan greeted with a smile.
Aunt Wang felt a little relieved. When she saw the eldest daughter of the Si family before, she always had a sad face, as if someone owed her a few hundred dollars. She heard that she had changed in the past few months, but she had little contact with her and didn't feel anything.
So I was nervous when I came here, but now seeing her enthusiasm, I feel much better.
"Yan girl, I have something to ask you, can you please…"
Si Muyan said, "Aunt Wang has always helped my family, but I've never been able to repay her. If there's anything you need help with, just ask. We will definitely help if we can."
Aunt Wang blushed, as if she had come here on purpose to ask for something in return.
She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing special. I just wanted to ask you, what kind of food shop do you have? Are you short of staff? If you are short of staff, could you please come and see me? I'm very capable. I do everything at home!"
Looking for a job?
Si Muyan hadn't been close to Aunt Wang before, didn't know her, and hadn't thought about her. Now, just when she was looking for someone to help her, this person showed up?
Seeing Si Muyan remained silent, Aunt Wang hurriedly said, "Well, it's okay if there's no work. I'm just saying, if you need anyone in the future, you can come to me. I can do anything."
She was itching to join the family. She'd heard that Second Zhu and his wife had been helping out at the Si household for quite a while. The last time she'd seen them, they'd changed their outfits, and Dachun and Xiaochun looked a lot healthier. Third Zhu's wife also went to work, leaving in the morning and returning in the afternoon, but she didn't look tired at all; instead, she was beaming.
It can be seen that life is good, otherwise how could he be so happy?
Everyone envies this good day.
Her family was relatively well-off, but with their few acres of land and her husband's labor outside, they couldn't save much money. She was idle anyway, so if she could do something, even if it meant earning ten cents, that would be good.
Si Muyan asked, "Can Aunt Wang cook?"
"Cooking? Yes, of course."
What woman can't cook? Besides, she wasn't bragging, she was a good cook when she was at her parents' house.
When she was short of money, she could cook the vegetables in the garden in new ways. During the New Year and other festivals, she could show off her cooking skills.
Si Muyan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Wang to come to my house and cook a meal tonight. If I see how good it is, I'll start working tomorrow, okay?"
When Aunt Wang heard this, she was overjoyed: "Really...really?"
"real."
That night, Aunt Wang used all her skills - in fact, there was no need to use them. Who can't cook delicious food if they have fish and meat?
The Si family was also generous and left some food for her family.
She said, "Whether you can go to work tomorrow is another matter. You've worked hard to cook for our whole family tonight. You and your family should have dinner at my house, right?"
The food at the Si family is delicious. The two children from the Wang family ate so much that their mouths were drooling with joy.
Si Muyan was also satisfied. It turned out that Aunt Wang had the potential to be a chef.
"I'm short of a cook, just for two hours at noon. I go in to help prepare the food, and then I start cooking when the customers arrive. But basically, once I start cooking, I can't stop. After the whole cooking process is done, I help clean up, and that's it."
Before, my second sister cooked spicy hot pot and Aunt Jin fried spicy hot pot. In comparison, spicy hot pot was naturally more tiring.
Si Muyan thought that Aunt Wang was younger and stronger than Aunt Jin, so it would be suitable for her to cook the spicy hot pot.
Aunt Wang patted her chest and said, "Okay!"
Si Muyan said, "As for wages, it's fifteen cents a day, just like Mrs. Zhu San. She works from morning to noon, but her work isn't as tiring as yours. You only have two hours at noon. How about that?"
"well!"
How could she refuse such a good thing? She could earn fifteen coins for two hours' work. Her husband worked in a quarry, toiling away for six hours for only fifty coins a day.
Of the two hours, she probably only spent one hour doing it when she was tired, and the rest was light work.
Just think about it and be happy.
The next day, Si Muyan went to the shop again. After making sure that everyone was not making any mistakes, she told her younger sister.
"From now on, you will be the main person in charge of the shop. I won't come here every day, but once every five days."
The younger sister agreed: "Don't worry, big sister, I will do my best."
Si Muyan went to the second sister and reminded her: "The younger sister is more capable, but she is inevitably timid when she is alone. If there is anything, you should listen to her and help her more."
"it is good."
Si Muyan sighed. She thought her younger sister was good, but on second thought, her younger sister wasn't bad either. If the two of them were reversed and she valued her younger sister more, her younger sister would have been unhappy a long time ago and might even cause trouble.
In the following days, Si Muyan concentrated on making the base of the soup at home. Every day, Song Erqiang would bring the soup to her, while Aunt Zhu and Dachun would deliver the porridge to Aunt Luo and then to the Jixiang Restaurant.
The reason why Dachun was brought along was because Song Erqiang and Aunt Zhu had to go out before dawn, and it would take nearly an hour to catch the bus. They were afraid of being gossiped about, so Dachun just went along with them and could also go to the street to buy vegetables and take them home.
Seeing that Dachun was small but very agile, Si Muyan gave him two cents every day as a fee for running errands.
However, at the hour of Mao on this day, the Si family was still asleep when they heard the door being pushed bang.
Si Muyan woke up and heard Aunt Jin open the door. It was the voice of the village head outside.
"Is Miss Yan here? Hurry up, hurry up, Erqiang and the others had an accident today, and the porridge hasn't been delivered yet."
Si Muyan immediately put on her clothes and ran out, asking, "Uncle Lizheng, what happened to Second Uncle and the others? Are they all right?"
"Luckily, Dachun was smart, otherwise it would have been troublesome." The village head said quickly, "He's fine, but all the porridge has been spilled. Dachun asked me to come and talk to you."
Si Muyan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay if the porridge is gone, as long as you are okay."
The village head nodded. "Yes, on their way there, some bandits came from nowhere and overturned the porridge cart. And... ahem. Dachun saw people from the nearby village and immediately went to call for help. They chased the bandits away."
