Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Rice Noodles_1 Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Rice Noodles_1 It’s the New Year, a few people are reluctant, but everyone has to buy some snacks for the children.
These bags of rice sticks cost 50 cents each, there are still people selling them.
They’re much cheaper than at the supply and marketing cooperative store.
“Hanhan, how are you…” Mrs. Ding came to the cooperative store to do some shopping and was surprised to see Meng Yunhan.
However, Meng Yunhan was very calm. “Mrs. Ding, I’m here selling things. These twisted doughnuts are good, take some.”
Mrs. Ding knew that Hanhan’s family was doing well financially, and was surprised to see her becoming a self-employed vendor.
Although everyone made a living with their own hands, it was rare for a young person to do such hard work in the dead of winter.
“Granny, hello…” Little Huzi popped his head out, calling out to Mrs. Ding.
Mrs. Ding didn’t know what to say.
“Mrs. Ding, I’ll come to visit next time.”
Mrs. Ding looked at the goods in her three-wheel cart, knowing that she still had work to do.
“You go ahead, you go ahead.”
Watching her leave, Mrs. Ding’s eyes filled with concern as she looked at the twisted doughnut in her hands.
No one would willingly endure the freezing cold outside.
This young girl, she’s always had her own way.
“Old Ding, guess who I saw when I was out?” As soon as Mrs. Ding got home, she curiously asked him.
“Who did you see?” Old Ding was busy writing couplets.
All of their children haven’t come back yet.
At the mention of her, Old Ding glances at her, “She bought a house in Kyoto. Seeing her didn’t surprise you at all.”
And then he returns to writing his couplets.
“But she was selling things, selling rice sticks. Look, this twisted doughnut is from Hanhan.” Mrs. Ding sighed.
“She’s a vendor now, isn’t she? She’s running her own business, which is good. She’s smart, and got the top score again this time.”
Old Ding was quite satisfied with this talented pupil.
“She was selling with Little Huzi and her father.”
At her words, Old Ding put down his brush. “She was with her child and her father? What was she thinking, letting them out in such cold weather?”
“Covered in a small quilt, wearing a hat and earmuffs, wrapped in a scarf, her little face all red from the cold, she was still calling out to people.”
“It must’ve been Little Huzi who insisted on going. Otherwise, knowing her, she would never let him out in the cold .”
It’s almost lunchtime, the rice sticks and twisted doughnuts are finally all sold out.
Meng Yunhan’s trio finally returned home.
They counted the money in the living room.
“Business was good today.” It was Old Zhao’s first time going out to make money with his daughter, and he was surprised at how easy it was.
“That’s because it’s the eve of the New Year.” Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
Little Huzi stared at the money for a while before he went back to eating his twisted doughnut.
“No more eating, you’ve had too much. Anymore and you’ll really get a fever.”
Although they had honeysuckle at home to reduce fever, he couldn’t have too much of these dry snacks.
“I’m going to make lunch….”
“We’ll do it together.”
They went out of the house, with meat stewing on the Beacon Coal stove.
She knew Ahao wouldn’t be able to come back today.
He’d probably come back tomorrow.
She was relieved that Ahao hadn’t come back since she started her winter vacation, or he’d nag her about everything, really acting more and more like a housewife.
There was meat and chicken, even eggs, they had a good year.
The next day, Meng Yunhan took Little Huzi and Old Zhao out again.
Life was getting better, most of the children on the street were dressed in new clothes.
Seeing so many children, Little Huzi wanted to play with them.
Meng Yunhan filled Little Huzi’s pockets with candy and dried fruits, and let him go play.
“Dad, you go play chess with them.” These days, her father had either been helping her or taking care of Xiaohu, and hadn’t had any time to himself.
