Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 256: 096: Unexpected Surprise, Investigating Sun Dalian’s Past y

The living conditions of Goudan’s family were average in the village, with five earthen houses and the living room located in the middle.

It was dinner time, and the whole family was gathered in the living room. Seeing Ni Yang come over, Goudan’s grandparents warmly stood up, “Yangyang is here, come sit, come sit, old man, hurry and fetch some candy from the room.”

The elderly often stash away some treats.

Goudan’s grandpa immediately went to get some candy.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be willing to give away their candies, but Ni Yang was different.

Ni Yang was their little lucky star in the village!

Ni Yang sat down, “Uncles and aunties, grandparents, you don’t have to be so polite, I just came to talk about something.”

Goudan’s father brought over a new set of bowls and chopsticks, “Talk after you eat, talk after you eat. Nothing is more important than eating.”

Han Xiaoqin picked up an extra pair of chopsticks and gave Ni Yang a piece of meat, “Yangyang, have some meat. It might not be as good as what you make, don’t mind it!”

In this era, meat was something people couldn’t afford to buy at two yuan per pound. Goudan’s family had many children, making their living circumstances even harder. They barely had meat to eat throughout the year.

They only dared to buy some meat this time because Goudan’s dad had worked for half a month at Ni Yang’s shop and earned 120 yuan, so they purchased some meat for everyone to enjoy on this snowy day.

Goudan’s family was extremely warm and hospitable, so Ni Yang picked up her chopsticks and ate a piece of meat, which was just common courtesy. If she didn’t eat at all, wouldn’t it be a waste of their kind intentions?

The meat was very delicious; it melted in the mouth and was not greasy at ah. “Auntie Han, your cooking skills are very good!”

Having received Ni Yang’s praise, Han Xiaoqin couldn’t stop smiling.

Goudan’s grandpa handed a bunch of candies to Ni Yang.

Ni Yang quickly took them with both hands, “Thankyou, grandpa.” Goudan’s grandpa laughed heartily and said, “Don’t be shy with grandpa.” Ni Yang continued, “Auntie Han, I came here to discuss something with you.” Han Xiaoqin said, “Yangyang, just say what’s on your mind. Don’t be so polite with auntie. As long as it is something that auntie can do, I will definitely help you.”

Ni Yang smiled and proceeded to invite Han Xiaoqin to work at the Milk Tea Shop, “The salary is the same as Auntie Zhou and Aunt Jinfang, 60 yuan a month, if you think that’ s suitable, you can start work the day after tomorrow.” Upon hearing this, Goudan’s grandparents both stood up in excitement.

60 yuan a month!

Even a steady job in the city wouldn’t have such a high salary!

Han Xiaoqin excitedly said, “Perfect! It’s just perfect! Yangyang, auntie doesn’t know how to thank you!”

Ni Yang said, “You don’t have to be like this. It’s the same no matter who I hire. So it’s settled then, auntie. I need to go to Xiaohua’s house next to discuss this matter with Xiaohua’s mom.”

Goudan’s grandparents as well as his parents all escorted Ni Yang out of their home together.

Watching Ni Yang walk away, Goudan’s grandma sighed, “Yangyang is such a thoughtful girl! All of you children should learn from Yangyang, even when you become successful in the future, you must never forget this kindness!”

The children all nodded their heads.

If it were any other day, they’d definitely be unwilling to listen.

But they had no choice but to listen today.

After all, it was Ni Yang they were talking about.

In all of Jinghua Village, where could you find another person like Ni Yang?

After leaving Goudan’s house, Ni Yang visited Xiaohua’s house, and without a doubt, she received the best treatment in the entire village.

When she came back, Xiaohua’s grandma insisted on giving Ni Yang a large bottle of fresh milk. Fearing that Ni Yang might refuse, Xiaohua’s mom, Wang Cuiping, accompanied Ni Yang all the way to the Ni’s house.

Upon reaching the courtyard, Wang Cuiping placed the bottle of milk on the ground and left.

She knew that if she didn’t leave, Ni Yang would definitely stuff a bunch of return gifts to her.

Ni Yang called out watching Wang Cuiping’s retreating figure, “Aunt Cuiping, be careful on the road.”

Wang Cuiping replied with a laugh, “Don’t worry, I know the roads in the village like the back of my hand. I could find my way home even with my eyes closed.”

After she got home, Ni Yang made a spicy hotpot base, poured freshly made bone soup into a copper pot, sprinkled some scallions and cilantro on it to complete her red oil soup.

As she brought the copper pot to the table, Ni Cuihua brought the prepared ingredients to the table.

There were fresh vegetables, beef and mutton, shrimp paste, duck’s blood, enoki mushrooms, catfish and so on…

Because Ni Chenggui and Ni Cuihua could drink, Ni Yang also warmed two bottles of ginger rice wine.

While a heavy snow fell outside, the three of them sat in the house enjoying the hotpot. The ambiance was extremely warm and cozy.

Because the milk tea shop was about to open, Ni Yang did some promotion in the noodle restaurant the next day.

The next day, the milk tea shop next door officially opened.

Because it had snowed the night before, Ni Yang went early to clear the snow in front of the shop. As she parked, a tall figure emerged from the side.

“Yangyang.”

Ni Yang was taken aback, “Brother Mo?”

It was just after three in the morning, and Ni Yang was surprised to see Mo Qishen there.

Mo Qishen smiled and said, “I knew about your opening today, so my mom asked me to come over and wish you well, and help out.”

Ni Yang asked, “Brother Mo, how did you know my milk tea shop is opening today?”

Mo Qishen mysteriously said, “Do you think it’s hard to know this?”

It really wasn’t difficult to know, as she had promoted it in the noodle restaurant just yesterday.

Mo Qishen added, “Let’s not stand here like fools, let’s go in.”

“Oh right.” Ni Yang led Mo Qishen into the shop.

Mo Qishen was someone who knew how to take initiative. He found a broom straight away, “Men are supposed to do the outside work, while women handle the inside. Yangyang, you just take care of the tasks inside. I’ll clear the outside snow.”

Finished speaking, he didn’t give Ni Yang a chance to refuse and carried the broom outside.

There was indeed a lot to do on the first day of opening, so Ni Yang didn’t stand on ceremony.

When Ni Yang finished her tasks inside and came out, she found that Mo Qishen had not only cleared all the snow but also built two huge snowmen.

Ni Yang said in surprise, “Brother Mo, you’re pretty quick!”

Mo Qishen casually replied, “What’s a bit of work for a man? It’s nothing.” Marcus and Morris who were sitting in the car silently took credit for the work. It was all worth it as long as the boss was happy.
