After dinner, Zhou Danni and her husband, Lao Zhao, walked Ni Cuihua and her daughter Ni Yang, carrying Little Ni Yun, to the tram station.

Ni Yang was holding Little Ni Yun in her arms.

Ni Cuihua tightly held Zhou Danni’s hand, “Danni, whenever you have time, you need to come over with your brother-in-law and the children. You can take the number 9 tram and get off at Jinghua Village. Give us a call when you’re on your way, and I’ll meet you at the village entrance.”

Zhou Danni nodded, “We’re a bit occupied at the moment, but we’re definitely coming as soon as we get some free time!”

“I’ll be waiting at home for you all!”

Ni Cuihua reluctantly boarded the tram.

As they watched the tram slowly disappear into the night, Zhou Danni turned to Lao Zhao. “How did we do in business today?”

Lao Zhao sighed, “Not too good… Since the people of Beijing like eating steamed buns, that’s what we’ve been selling all these years.”

When they first started, business was good. But things went downhill recently, and it got to a point where they couldn’t even sell steamed buns worth one yuan a day.

They also had to pay 10 yuan every month as rent.

Zhou Danni expressed her worry as well. “What can we do? We have to pay the rent soon, and the kids need to go to school too. There are so many places we need to spend money.”

Lao Zhao said, “Don’t rush. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.”

Zhou Danni suggested, “Do you think the problem lies with the market? What if you change your selling stall’s location tomorrow?”

Lao Zhao nodded in agreement.

The couple returned home, with their faces full of worry.

As soon as they got home, Xiaoshuang rushed over, grabbing their hands, “Mom and Dad, come and see! Aunt Daya and Sister Ni Yang brought over a lot of good stuff today!”

Given it was dark out, Zhou Danni didn’t really have a chance to see how much stuff Ni Cuihua and Ni Yang had brought. Only now she realised that they had indeed brought a lot of nice things.

There was malted milk and small chunks of beef.

The candies and biscuits had already been opened by the kids.

Zhou Danni also found two bottles of liquor.

Even when their family visited relatives for New Year, they could not afford to buy so many things!

Zhou Danni said, “Daya must have spent a lot today! She was too kind!”

Lao Zhao stared at the two bottles of liquor for a while before finally saying, “We should consider exchanging these two bottles of liquor for some money at the shop tomorrow; they’re worth thirty-five yuan. We don’t need a big profit; thirty yuan should be enough to pay the school fees and the rent.”

Even though this was slightly inappropriate, they had no other alternatives.

If they didn’t sell the liquor, their family of six would end up on the streets with the kids unable to afford school.

Zhou Danni was silent for a moment then nodded, “Alright. When we have money, we must thank Daya and her family properly.”

Lao Zhao nodded, “Definitely.”

The next day, Zhou Danni went to the shop and exchanged the two bottles of liquor for thirty yuan.

The regular selling price for these two bottles of liquor was thirty-five yuan.

The shopkeeper was more than happy to make this deal for thirty yuan.

They were relieved to finally have the money for the school fees and rent. Zhou Danni let out a sigh of relief. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

After hearing Zhou Danni’s idea, Lao Zhao changed his selling spot today, continuing to sell from his stall.

As it was the inaugural day of the restaurant, at 11:30 a.m., Ni Yang arrived at the city market. She bought cigarettes, liquor, and prepared dishes, ready to treat everyone to a good meal.

She bought various meat dishes including braised beef, pig’s head meat, and tiger skin chicken feet.

People were in dire need of some decent nourishment at this point. Even if they ate a lot of meat, they wouldn’t feel greasy. Moreover, they were all performing manual labor and needed to restore their energy.

After buying the dishes, all she needed were the staple foods. Just then, Ni Yang spotted a vendor selling steamed buns.

Beijing people generally prefer wheat food, so Ni Yang steered her cart over and ordered, “Vendor, could I get fifty steamed buns please.”

There were eighteen workers in the restaurant.

A grown man could easily eat two to three steamed buns, so fifty steamed buns was really not that many.
