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

There were many people in line, so after Zhou Chao finished talking, he gave up his place to others and went to find Su Youli and the others.

Halfway there, the group met, and Su Youli asked in surprise, "Did you finish talking so quickly?"

"Yes, she's very smart, she picks things up immediately." After saying that, he patted Su Youli on the shoulder and said teasingly, "Of course, I'm also generous enough, I gave her plenty of money."

She already knew that Lin Xi only received 100 yuan for each article published on "The Young Students," and felt it was a waste of money.

Moreover, the editor-in-chief is truly ungrateful; such a good article at such a low price, yet he still refuses to accept it.

"Quit your job and come with me."

"Forget it, if I wanted to go, I would have gone a long time ago. You're really persistent, trying to persuade me every year."

Su Youli knew Zhou Chao's personality; he was a man of few words and rarely offered advice. If she said something once and you didn't listen, she wouldn't bring it up again, except for the matter of asking him to resign.

"I don't understand. Your boss is so stingy and has no vision. Why are you working for him?"

You have the ability and talent; even if you don't come to my place, you'll develop better elsewhere.

Su Youli pulled Zhou Chao aside and said solemnly, "Xiao Chao, you know my temper. Although my boss is stingy, he has been extremely tolerant of me."

Because of Lin Xi's matter, I almost overturned his table, but he didn't scold me at all, and instead went along with my wishes.

Do you dare say that your current editor-in-chief can tolerate my temper?

"Xiao Chao, I don't aspire to greatness, I only wish to do as I please."

Zhou Chao was somewhat surprised. In the past, whenever the topic of resigning came up, she would always laugh it off. This was the first time she had heard her friend speak her mind.

But something felt off to her.

"Yuli, you...you wouldn't...have fallen for him, would you?!"

Su Youli blushed, a rare occurrence for her, and covered Zhou Chao's mouth, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could that be?"

"Then why are you blushing?"

"Isn't it frozen?"

Su Xin rolled her eyes and said, "I wasn't eavesdropping. You guys were a bit too loud. That editor-in-chief came to my house to wish me a Happy New Year yesterday, and my aunt blushed all day."

Zhou Chao's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "We've come this far, and you're still keeping it from me? Are we still friends?"

"Oh dear, don't listen to the kid's nonsense. He... he hasn't confessed to me yet."

"So you just said yes after he confessed? No way, I need to go see him sometime and see if he's any good..."

The group returned to the Su family home amidst playful banter.

Lin Xi was getting more and more energetic. One article was worth a thousand yuan, ten articles would be ten thousand yuan, and writing forty or fifty articles was no problem, which would be forty or fifty thousand yuan.

As she thought about it, the corners of the girl's mouth turned up in a smile.

Lin Guojun even pulled his son aside and asked if his granddaughter was going to make a lot of money again.

Sure enough, after dinner, Lin Xi initiated a family meeting.

"Family, I've taken on a job that requires me to focus entirely on my creative work, so starting tomorrow, I won't be going to the market anymore. Let's rearrange the staff."

Lin Guojun was the first to panic. "Xiao Xi, no, if you don't go, and I can't keep up, those customers will stare me to death."

"Grandpa, you need to have confidence in yourself. You know the procedures well and you can write the characters. You won't make any mistakes. Besides, Uncle Erli will be going with you tomorrow."

"Dad, it's okay. Xiaoxi will be starting school soon, so let's get used to it in advance."

Lin Dayuan was also a little panicked, but there was nothing he could do; they would have to become independent sooner or later.

"Okay, don't delay Xiaoxi from making money. One of Xiaoxi's articles is worth three or four days of your work. That's settled then, leave the housework to me."

To be honest, I'm a little sad that Erli is leaving with you guys; he's so capable.

The next day, Liu Erli came to collect the cookies as usual and helped Grandma Lin with her work, but was suddenly told that he had to go with her to set up a stall. He was overjoyed and his mouth was practically stretched to the sky.

In his eyes, this was a promotion, a step from behind the scenes to the forefront, and a recognition from the Lin family.

Seeing how excited Liu Erli was, Lin Guiying pursed her lips and said, "Look how happy you are. You thought it was some kind of good job. Working with them is not as easy as working with me."

"Hehe, Auntie, I'm happy to do heavy work." He was willing to help Da Yuan set up a stall.

Last time he helped them watch their stall, he saw the customers praising the food, and he felt happy too. If he had the money, he would also like to set up a stall.

Upon arriving at the market, Liu Erli quickly got to work. Despite his limp, he held the bowl steadily and delivered food very quickly, running and scrambling, making a trip every few minutes, without spilling a drop of the spicy hot pot soup.

The customers all praised the person they hired, saying he was incredibly fast.

After delivering the food, he stood aside and learned how Lin Guojun worked, helping as he learned. Although Lin Xi wasn't there, his speed didn't drop at all.

After finishing her run, Lin Xi returned to her bedroom and began writing furiously. She spent 1,000 Love Coins on a bag of iridescent popping candy and another 1,000 Love Coins on a bottle of calming floral water to enhance concentration, and then began to create with all her might.

After spending two thousand love coins, the result was gratifying; I actually wrote ten articles in one day.

When I left the bedroom, Lin Dayuan had already packed up and returned.

"Xiaoxi, you can't go on like this. Try to set aside an hour for lunch tomorrow."

Lin Guiying felt extremely sorry for her granddaughter, who went into her bedroom in the morning and didn't come out until evening.

This morning, her granddaughter specifically told her not to disturb her unless it was something important.

During lunchtime, she stood at the door for a long time with her rice bowl in her hand, too embarrassed to knock.

Upon hearing that his daughter was writing an article, Lin Dayuan stopped eating and said sternly, "Xiaoxi, you must eat on time. Money is not as important as your health."

Lin Xi quickly agreed, saying she had been engrossed in writing and had forgotten about it. "Okay, Grandma, then don't call me except for mealtimes, okay?"

"..."

Forget it, as long as she can eat, that's fine. Her granddaughter is so engrossed in writing that she doesn't even need to go to the toilet.

After finishing her meal, Lin Xi hurriedly went into her bedroom and started reading.

A day of mental exertion is no less strenuous than setting up a street stall. After completing the system tasks, I went to sleep early.

The next day, Liu Erli brought Liu Yu along. He figured he would set up a stall himself, since Aunt Lin would have no one to help her. Although his son couldn't do delicate work, he could still wash vegetables.

The Lin family said they would pay him wages, but Liu Erli refused no matter what this time.

He wasn't letting his son come here to earn a salary; he genuinely wanted to help. "Auntie, the salary you pay me is high enough. I've never known how to repay you. Letting Xiaoyu help you with some work here will make me feel better."

"If you insist on giving me money, you're implying that I, Liu Erli, am greedy for money."

Liu Yu chimed in, saying that if he were paid, he wouldn't do it and would sneak off to chop firewood every day.

With this kid's stubbornness, he's definitely capable of making it happen. Lin Guiying didn't mention money again, and just said that they would have lunch here.

This time, Liu Erli didn't refuse. He had been eating at the Lin family's house for the past few days while he was working there. Aunt Lin's cooking was so delicious that he couldn't resist.

After the vendors left, Liu Yu asked Grandma Lin what he needed to do. "Just wash the vegetables. No rush, just wash them clean."

Lin Guiying thought Liu Yu was too young to do much work, but she didn't expect him to be like his father, working like an ox. Except for chopping vegetables, he did everything else quite well.

"Grandma Lin, you can rest. I can do this hand-cranked potato chip making." With that, he took the machine and started cranking it, taking over the last bit of work from Lin Guiying.

"Xiaoyu, rest when you're tired, there's no rush." ​​The old lady felt a little sorry for the child who was working so hard.

"It's alright, Grandma. I'd love to do more chores for you. I just hope you don't mind."

"Don't mind, look how clean these vegetables are."

Liu Yu unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth. He remembered the kindness of this family. Although he could not repay it with this little work, he would work for the Lin family for the rest of his life.
