It seemed they still had a lot to learn.
"Once things stabilize, and the night school starts, do you want to attend and read at the night university?"
They were this age now, could they still go to school?
"Sister-in-law, can we still go to school?"
Would the school want them?
"Yes, but you’ll have to pay the tuition fee yourselves. Going there would help you in the future."
Zhao Xinxin still trusted Yun Xiaoxiao.
The sister-in-law was more knowledgeable than they were; she believed the sister-in-law wouldn’t sell them out.
Zhang Lanhua didn’t know about all this, "School has already started, we can’t read now."
Yun Xiaoxiao briefly explained to them again, "It’s not just about wanting to read; the vacancies are limited too. I’ll ask for you when the time comes."
The two had no objections.
Maybe in the village, they were considered knowledgeable.
But stepping out now, they felt like mere country bumpkins.
Zhang Lanhua and Zhao Xinxin tidied up the store a bit, as it was going to open tomorrow, and they would need to serve customers then.
After closing the store door, Yun Xiaoxiao took them around the neighborhood and even to the restrooms as spending a day in the store made it impossible not to use them. It was important to introduce to them where the public toilets were located nearby.
She also took them to a small market where they saw quite a few vendors.
"Sister-in-law, don’t they need tickets?"
"Yes, no tickets are needed," it was late afternoon already, and not many stallholders were left.
Yun Xiaoxiao bought tofu and then went to the food store to buy a fish.
As for meat, it had been sold out by that time.
Being from the countryside, they weren’t accustomed to having meat at every meal. They had meat yesterday, meat buns in the morning, and even had meat for lunch.
"Wife, I plan to sell some appliances, and I am thinking about buying a tricycle to haul goods."
"Arrange it yourself."
Seeing a man seeming to make advances, Yun Xiaoxiao reminded, "The store opens tomorrow, we need to get up early."
Well, he could only sleep holding his wife now, couldn’t eat meat anymore.
But compared to Da Li, at least he could still hold his wife while sleeping at night.
Cao Dali: Third Brother, don’t compare with me.
Zhao Tianhe: You guys have wives, I don’t.
"If you don’t sleep early, you’ll need to get up early tomorrow, the store is opening, we need to set off firecrackers, and after dealing with the store’s business, we also need to rush to class."
Tomorrow will indeed be busy.
Tomorrow is not an early eight o’clock class, but the class is a specialized course, and you can’t be late or miss it.
The professors really do take attendance.
They won’t care about your previous performance.
It’s early October, time to start using blankets.
Breakfast is porridge, steamed buns, and also a hot and sour potato shred and some leftovers from last night.
"I’ll take Da Bao and Xiao Bao to school first."
The two young ones still have to go to school.
Yun Xiaoxiao took them to the store, where she pasted new opening signs and discount stickers outside.
Calculating time, she had Zhao Tianhe set off a couple of strings of firecrackers in front of the store, which attracted quite a crowd.
After all, many old ladies and old men were out shopping in the morning.
"Is this a store opening?"
"What is being sold?"
"It seems to be the hair clips used by girls?"
Yun Xiaoxiao brought out today’s promotional hairbands.
"Today, the store is opening. Everything is at a 20% discount, and there are special-price items, when they’re sold, there won’t be more....."
"This red hairband, how much for one? I want to buy one for my granddaughter....."
"50 cents each, pick and choose as you like..."
Zhao Tianlei also hurried back.
"Didn’t you have an early class today? Hurry to class."
