Qi Fenglian went back to her hometown. Cheng Su, seeing that Shi Ling was added to the fast food restaurant as staff, temporarily promoted Xiaoying to cover Qi Fenglian’s position. If Cheng Su wasn’t around, Xiaoying would handle the money, and Shi Ling would take over selling food and such.
Of course, this was just in case she didn’t have the time to come over.
"I’m in charge of collecting money?" Xiaoying was very pleased. Does this mean she might get promoted in the future?
Cheng Su nodded and said, "You’re quite experienced now, and you think quickly. Work hard!"
"Thank you, President Cheng!" Xiaoying couldn’t contain her joy, leaving Jin Zhi beside her feeling envious.
Cheng Su thought of Qi Fenglian’s earlier question, pulled Xiaoying aside, and casually asked her if there was anything on her mind lately.
Xiaoying, confused, said: "No, right? Sister Lian is cheerful all the time."
Cheng Su frowned, could she have been overthinking?
She let Xiaoying go back to work and picked up an animated storybook with Xiaohua.
Now, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Third Uncle Cheng returned home with a lot of bags. Aunt Cheng looked at those things happily and asked, "Coming back for a festival, why did you buy so many things?"
Third Uncle Cheng divided the items, saying, "These are gifts Susu gave to big brother and them, and these are gifts she gave to us. Additionally, these are clothes or whatnot that I bought for you and the kids."
Aunt Cheng looked at the things Cheng Su had given and exclaimed, "Why did you accept them? These must have cost a fortune!"
Third Uncle Cheng scratched his head and said, "I said no, but that girl insisted, saying it’s customary during holidays. After all, it’s the child’s show of filial piety, so why not take them?"
Aunt Cheng glared at him, looked over again, and saw mooncakes, candies, and some supplements, really quite fancy.
"Oh, what’s this?" Aunt Cheng took out a box of some kind of medicine.
Third Uncle Cheng glanced at it and said, "I heard it’s cod liver oil, meant for the two kids. Said it’s good for the brain or something."
Aunt Cheng was moved, "The child is truly amazing! You used to see her as immature, but it turns out that after getting married, she’s become considerate and well-mannered."
"Why bring that up? What’s wrong with being immature when she was a girl?" Third Uncle Cheng wasn’t bothered, pulling her close and saying, "Dear, I’ve thought about it. Although there’s just one wall between us, the child treats our family like her own parents and siblings. We are true brothers with big brother, no difference, and there’s only Susu as a girl in the two families. We can’t have a daughter anymore, so I’ve been thinking of treating Susu like our own niece. In the future, big brother and them will be her parental home, and we’ll be her parental home too. The two children are her real brothers, and whatever happens, we’ll be there to support her. What do you think?"
Aunt Cheng affectionately remarked, "I’ve been married to you for so long, when have I not treated big brother as family? You’re always right. The child should be cherished too."
"Yes, and let’s tell the kids to treat this sister as their real sister, learn some skills, and support her." Third Uncle Cheng laughed, then took a wad of money from his pocket and put it in her hand: "You keep it."
"So much money?" Aunt Cheng exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s not much. You hold on to it, and in the future, when I’ve mastered the skills, I’ll go out on my own, start a renovation team!" Third Uncle Cheng said, "It’s all thanks to Su Girl."
Aunt Cheng nodded and said, "Then let me know when you need money in the future."
"Alright! I’ll first take the things to big brother and them!" Third Uncle Cheng said.
"Okay!"
