The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan exchanged a glance. Xiao Xi was really something else; she could earn three thousand yuan for just one piece of calligraphy.

That's right, they were very confident in Lin Xi. The grand prize was a sure thing, and the three thousand yuan was already theirs.

When he got home, Lin Guiying had already prepared dinner.

After dinner, everyone started the happiest part of the day: counting money! 830 yuan! About the same as yesterday.

Although it's tiring, earning over 400 yuan a day makes it all worthwhile!

Just as everyone was about to return to their rooms, Lin Dayuan said, "Everyone, please sit down first. I have something to say!"

The group sat down with solemn expressions. This was the first time Lin Dayuan, who was not good with words, had chaired a family meeting. This must be a very important matter!

"Xiao Xi didn't come this morning, which exposed many problems. First of all, I failed to calm the customer's emotions. I will reflect on this and work harder to build a better relationship with customers in the future."

Secondly, Dad, you must learn to write.

We can't keep relying on Xiaoxi; she'll be starting school soon.

"Mom, you need to learn too; you never know when you might need it."

Lin Xi listened from the side and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Lin Guojun nodded guiltily. He couldn't do without being literate; he had been looked down upon all day, which had even prevented his son from earning money.

Lin Guiying asked, "Do I have to learn too? I can recognize characters, but I just can't write them. I know what a character looks like in my head, but when I write it, it looks completely different."

"Mom, everyone in our family must be able to write. This business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and we will need more and more people."

"And now we have another business: delivering meals to them. When Xiaoxi starts school, you and Dad will need one of us to deliver the meals and the other to keep track of the orders."

Lin Guiying nodded in agreement. "Alright, alright, we can't let making money interfere with our work. We really can't always rely on Xiaoxi."

Seeing that the others agreed, Lin Dayuan immediately began teaching them, writing down the characters for spicy, sweet, and sour, and having the two read and write them.

Actually, compared to Lin Guojun, Lin Guiying's problem was smaller. She simply hadn't systematically learned to write and didn't know the stroke order, while Lin Guojun needed to be taught from scratch.

Lin Guiying quickly wrote the characters quite well, while Lin Guojun kept having trouble distinguishing them, mainly because he wrote those few characters with a few too many strokes.

Lin Xi came up with a good idea: why not let Grandpa paint first!

She drew a chili pepper on the paper to represent spiciness. A small square represented sugar, which is sweet. She drew a bottle to represent vinegar, which is sour. She also drew a small circle to represent numbing sensation.

Lin Dayuan and his daughter were of one mind; he immediately understood what it meant and taught it to Lin Guojun.

This time, Lin Guojun quickly learned it. "If only these characters were this simple, I'll draw them tomorrow."

If there are many, I'll put two checkmarks. If there are few, I'll put one checkmark. If I don't want it, I'll put an X. How about that?

Everyone agreed, and now Lin Guojun can be considered a formal employee.

The next day, Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan drove to the market together, while Lin Xi put on her running shoes, intending to run there to complete the system task.

The customers at the market were a little disappointed when they saw that the little girl hadn't come, so Lin Guojun quickly explained, "My granddaughter is right behind us."

When Lin Xi arrived, customers were already lined up.

This person arrives earlier and more often each day.

With her grandfather joining the team, Lin Xi wasn't so busy anymore. She took out yesterday's orders and delivered the spicy hot pot to the customers in chronological order.

First, there was the girl who wanted the hot pot. When the little girl saw that Lin Xi had arrived on time, she happily accepted the hot pot. "Thank you, little sister, that's great! I don't have to go out and queue anymore! Here's four yuan, please deliver another bowl to me at the same time tomorrow."

Lin Xi nodded.

The second house was opened by a middle-aged woman, and a little girl about the same age as her opened the door. "Mommy, the spicy hot pot is here!"

The woman ran out of the house, "Oh, you've worked so hard! You've worked so hard! Come in and have some water!"

Lin Xi shook her head, then made a heart shape with her hands.

The woman couldn't help but laugh, then took out four yuan, saying she would eat it again tomorrow.

After closing the door, she said to her daughter, "Look, she's the same age as you, very capable, cute, clever, and sensible."

"But Mom, is she mute?"

"What are you talking about? She was shouting a couple of days ago; her throat is sore, she's just tired!"

……

Lin Xi spent most of the day running around delivering meals, checking on her grandfather every now and then to see if he needed any help.

Dad said that in order to train Grandpa, she should be given less hands-on experience.

They sold over four hundred bowls that day. When he got home, Lin Guojun happily told his wife, "Ying, I was praised today. People said I'm much faster now, almost as fast as my granddaughter!"

"Hey, you're quite old but not as good as a child, and you're quite proud of it."

The group chatted and laughed as they ate dinner. Although life was busy, there was something to look forward to!

Everyone is smiling more than before!

……

These busy days continued until the 27th of the lunar calendar. With only two days left until the Lunar New Year, today is the last day of the market.

The customers were reluctant to leave, and some even ordered two bowls. "Oh, what am I going to do if I can't eat this during the Chinese New Year? I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat it for a day."

Lin Xi's voice had long since recovered, and she said with a smile, "Sister, eating spicy food every day can hurt your stomach. This is a good opportunity to give your stomach a rest."

"Me too, I haven't missed a single day. I guess I'm on a diet. I've gained weight recently."

The customers at the Lin family's restaurant had already gotten to know each other well. Although they didn't know each other's names, no one was shy and they chatted as they ate.

Mr. Wang said, “My wife and I come here to eat every day. Now my wife doesn’t even like the soup I make anymore. And she always seems to eat more when she sees the young girl. Maybe she’ll be thinner after the New Year.”

The usually elegant and gentle old lady rolled her eyes, which was quite unusual for her.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lin Dayuan really enjoyed the atmosphere and had become much more cheerful lately. "Thank you all for your support. I'm not good with words and don't know how to say anything nice."

But rest assured, the quality and taste of our mala tang will never change, and we will always guarantee cleanliness and hygiene.

"Let everyone eat happily and with peace of mind!"

"Hey boss, you said you're bad with words, but you've hit the nail on the head."

……

The day passed quickly, and in the evening, everyone said goodbye to each other like familiar friends.

The Lin family members can finally rest. This period has truly been a mix of pain and joy.

After dinner, everyone started to settle the accounts. They were shocked by what they found!

In just over half a month, I actually earned a total of 7600 yuan!

"My God, old lady, am I dreaming? When did our family ever have so much money?!"

It's not that Lin Guiying is ignorant; she was indeed too poor in the past. After deducting the family's living expenses from the little money she earned, she spent it all on paying off debts, which she still hasn't finished paying off.

Lin Dayuan was also incredulous. Although he knew he had earned quite a bit, given how busy he was every day, he hadn't calculated the total and thought it was at most five thousand.

Lin Guojun patted his old face and said, "Oh, all the hard work I've endured these past two weeks has been totally worth it!"

After more than half a month of training, Grandpa Lin has become a qualified full-time employee.

Of course, I'm exhausted every day, and at night I snore so loudly it's deafening.

Mentally, the process of learning to write was even more torturous.

"Dad, I want to know how much money our family still owes."

"Still owe ten thousand..."

Lin Dayuan scratched his head sheepishly.

“Perfect timing! I still have over three thousand left from what I initially took out. Let’s pay it back all at once. We’ll go pay it back tomorrow!”

After Lunar New Year's Eve, we will be a brand new Lin family!

Everyone was thrilled by Lin Xi's words; they were reborn!
