He also specifically instructed his brother to explain things well to people.
A few days went by, although a few places outside mimicked their family, it didn’t have much impact.
Brother will be starting school soon, and there’s only Zhang Shuhua delivering food, which is really unmanageable. Hiring another person is not cost-effective, and Lin Wan thinks that running back and forth to deliver food is not a solution. She’s planning to make a small cart.
Put the prepared meals directly on the cart, and push it over to sell at mealtime.
After discussing this with Mom and brother, both agreed.
The next day, Lin Yinghui took the drawing of the food cart made by his little sister and learned from Grandma Wang that there was a carpenter nearby.
Lin Yinghui went early to the carpenter’s house according to the address.
Today Zhang Shuhua is resting, leaving only her and brother to deliver food.
Today at noon, Mr. Mei’s family ordered a dish of potato chicken and a casserole of stewed vegetables.
When delivering, it was Lin Wan who brought it; recently both Zhang Shuhua and brother have said that this officer is picky.
Lin Wan came to deliver once previously and said that this Mr. Mei wasn’t awake at the time and didn’t know how picky he was.
When Lin Wan came in with the lunchbox, Mr. Mei’s wife had a pleasant demeanor, quickly taking the food from Lin Wan with a smile, "Today we’ve got someone new delivering, thank you, young lady."
"It’s my duty, Aunt."
"My surname is Liang, from now on just call me Aunt Liang. The food from your place is delicious. Young lady, what’s your name?" Aunt Liang said while arranging the meal for Leader Mei.
"My name is Lin Wan. Aunt and Uncle can call me Xiao Lin," Lin Wan said, not forgetting to smile at Leader Mei sitting on the bed.
Leader Mei nodded at her, as if to greet.
"Usually when your brother comes, I call him Xiao Lin. When you come, I’ll call you Xiao Wan," Aunt Liang was friendly, without any prejudice against those of them doing business.
This made Lin Wan have a better impression of Aunt Liang.
"How come there’s no chili, tch, tch, without chili I have no appetite at all," Lin Wan was about to leave when Leader Mei on the bed suddenly frowned, put his chopsticks aside, turned his head with displeasure, looking somewhat childish to Lin Wan.
Amused at heart, this tough man even has such a cute side, she wondered if he was in the camp too.
"You’re already , still thinking about eating chili all day. The doctor has already said, you can only eat light food. Seeing you’ve had no appetite these days, I secretly ordered you a serving of potato chicken, hurry and eat it, or you’ll be hungry this noon." Aunt Liang scolded Leader Mei directly, regardless of the outsiders present.
"I won’t eat then, without chili, I really won’t eat, whenever there’s chili, that’s when I’ll eat."
"You... you really are being stubborn. If you don’t eat, that’s it, I’m not going to coax you."
Lin Wan looked at the old couple bickering, feeling a bit awkward, she smiled at Aunt Liang and said, "Aunt Liang, I’ll go back to work now."
Before the sentence was finished, Leader Mei on the bed interrupted, "This lady Comrade Xiao Lin, how is your restaurant running, didn’t you hear the customer wants chili, whatever the customer wants, comply with the superior’s orders, do you understand?" Leader Mei saw his wife ignoring him, so he directly took it up with Lin Wan.
It’s not that he’s picky, he really has no appetite, everything he eats is bland all day, it’s really unsatisfying.
"Comrade Xiao Wan, don’t listen to him rambling on, getting on in years he knows nothing but training people all day with that military momentum. You’re busy there, hurry back." Aunt Liang said.
Lin Wan didn’t care about Leader Mei’s scolding, instead, she found it adorable, seeming like a prestigious officer, but actually just a poor old man who got sick.
"Next time remember to put chili, or else I have no appetite," Mr. Mei felt nobody would listen to him, feeling wronged in his heart. Being bedridden was really uncomfortable, even eating wasn’t to his taste. Life was frustrating as hell.
