Chapter 316: Chapter 315: Assisting (2 more)

Xu Dawei flipped through it, saw the amount in the passbook, and pushed it back, handing it to Xu Niannian: "Baby Nian, what are you doing?"

Xu Niannian, holding Xu Dawei’s arm affectionately, leaned on his shoulder and acted coquettishly.

"Dad, from now on, the passbook stays with you and mom. The money earned from the shop, just keep it here for you to spend however you want, no need to save."

Once Xu Dawei heard this, that wouldn’t do, he quickly stuffed the passbook back into Xu Niannian’s hands: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can your mom and I even spend so much money? You take it."

"There’s no need, we’ll still have Zhiqiang, Zhicheng, and Duoyu in the future, save it for their wedding expenses," Xu Niannian said.

After making Liuyue Su, she would be able to earn even more money. Giving Butter Noodle House to her parents and brothers, Xu Niannian felt no regret at all.

After all, these were the people she loved.

That’s what Xu Niannian thought, but Xu Dawei didn’t see it that way.

The money was earned by his daughter, and their family being able to bask in his daughter’s success, not having to eat that distasteful bran and living such a good life, was already a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes.

How could he accept so much money from his daughter?

Besides, they didn’t need that much.

Xu Dawei insisted on returning the passbook to Xu Niannian, who refused to accept it. After much persuasion, she finally convinced him.

But still holding onto that money felt uncomfortable for Xu Dawei, such a large sum.

In the end, Yang Cuihua, once done with her work, joined the conversation and spoke quite domineeringly: "If the girl tells you to hold onto it, just hold onto it. Our girl doesn’t lack that bit of money now."

Yang Cuihua’s thinking was simple.

Now that their daughter had money, as parents, they couldn’t be too shabby either.

Besides, the money was stored with them, and if ever the day came that their daughter needed it, Yang Cuihua would be ready to hand it all over to Xu Niannian. It was just a different place for safekeeping, that’s all.

"My mom is indeed imposing," Xu Niannian said with a smile.

Xu Dawei laughed heartily: "So your dad, thinking of your best interest, was wrong?"

"How could that be? My dad loves me the most," Xu Niannian said with a beaming smile.

After spending a while in the shop, Xu Niannian asked about the current situation of Xu Dawei’s two younger brothers?

Xu Dawei told Xu Niannian that Xu Zhicheng’s grades had greatly improved, and he could now keep up with the pace of the class.

Such a big improvement was also because Chen Xiaorou was insistent on teaching Xu Zhicheng literacy every evening.

Moreover, Xu Zhicheng was smart himself and usually learned things very quickly.

As for Xu Duoyu’s performance, well, it was preschool, so it was hard to tell if it’s good or bad, but he had become more lively than before, now just a mischievous little rascal.

He even dared to talk back to Yang Cuihua now.

Hearing Xu Dawei say that Xu Duoyu dared to talk back to Yang Cuihua, Xu Niannian was surprised: "Wow, our little Duoyu is becoming quite capable."

"You girl, are you ridiculing your mom?" Yang Cuihua said with amusement.

Xu Niannian knew Yang Cuihua wouldn’t be angry, and stuck out her tongue at her: "How dare I ridicule you? My mom is so good."

Xu Duoyu and Xu Zhiqiang, these two brothers, would now hurry to the shop with their backpacks as soon as school was over.

Waiting for Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei to finish up, before taking them back home together.

Hearing Xu Dawei talk about Chen Xiaorou constantly teaching Xu Zhicheng how to read, Xu Niannian suddenly remembered something.

Now that Xu Zhiqiang was working at the factory and staying over there, managing the factory, Chen Xiaorou wouldn’t be able to see Xu Zhiqiang for quite some time, would she?

Just as Xu Niannian was thinking about this, Yang Cuihua said: "Baby Nian, are you going back to the countryside today?"

"Yes, the partners from Haishi called to place additional orders for Liuyue Su. I need to go back and inform Uncle Erhong."

Yang Cuihua immediately said: "Then you take Xiao Rou with you to see Zhiqiang. Such a nice girl, we can’t let that boy slip away."

Xu Niannian had rented a separate apartment with a kitchen for Du Wenwen and Chen Xiaorou, where they would make Butter Sauce and secret broth every day.

There was already a large stockpile of Butter Sauce, while the secret broth needed to be freshly made daily.

With Du Wenwen there, it was enough, and Chen Xiaorou could take a few days off.

Upon hearing this, Xu Niannian agreed as well.

She wouldn’t interfere with her brother’s romantic life, but she was still very willing to lend a hand where she could.

After all, Xu Zhiqiang hadn’t shown any dislike for Chen Xiaorou; maybe with a little help from her, the two might actually get together.

However, her assistance was merely helping Chen Xiaorou have the opportunity to spend time with her own younger brother, and the rest was up to Chen Xiaorou.

Having obtained Yang Cuihua’s approval, Xu Niannian left the shop and went directly to the place where Chen Xiaorou and Du Wenwen were, taking Chen Xiaorou away with her.

Chen Xiaorou followed timidly behind Xu Niannian and after quite a while, she finally asked Xu Niannian, "Niannian, where are we going?"

"Oh, I heard from my mom that there’s quite a stockpile of Butter Sauce recently, and with Du Wenwen here, it will be fine for now. I’ve asked Zhiqiang to help me manage the factory, and he still has a lot to learn. He needs to have enough knowledge, so I want you to go down to the factory for a few days first and teach Zhiqiang, help him learn more," Xu Niannian explained.

"Zhi, Zhiqiang?" Chen Xiaorou’s face instantly flushed red, excitedly looking at Xu Niannian, "Niannian, are you really going to take me to see Zhiqiang?"

"See?" Xu Niannian pretended not to understand Chen Xiaorou’s thoughts, asking with confusion, "I just want you to teach him to learn more knowledge."

It was then Chen Xiaorou realized she had, due to her excitement, almost revealed what was on her mind.

She quickly lowered her head and said softly, "I misspoke. Yes, it’s to teach Zhiqiang to study, Niannian, are you really letting me go?"

Seeing Chen Xiaorou’s anticipation, Xu Niannian smiled and nodded.

"Of course, but you can’t stay for too long. Later on, you’ll have to come back to the county to continue making Butter Sauce and the secret soup with Du Wenwen," Xu Niannian said.

"However, since we now have so much Butter Sauce stocked up, it should be enough for you to stay there for ten days or so. You must teach Zhiqiang well, okay? If there’s any material you need to buy, tell me, and I’ll buy it and send it down to you."

"Ten, ten days?" Chen Xiaorou was thrilled, happily grabbing Xu Niannian’s hand, "I can stay there for 10 days?"

Xu Niannian glanced at her, clearly seeing the excitement in her eyes.

She smiled, pleased, it seems this girl Chen Xiaorou truly cared deeply for her wooden-headed brother.

"What’s wrong, too much for you? Don’t want to go to the countryside?" Xu Niannian teased deliberately.

Unaware that Xu Niannian was jesting, Chen Xiaorou, fearing she might explain too slowly and Xu Niannian would change her mind, quickly clarified, "No, it’s not that, I want to go."

After speaking, Chen Xiaorou’s face turned a deep shade of red.

Embarrassed, she looked down.

Xu Niannian didn’t tease her further.

Taking Chen Xiaorou with her to the village, they passed many people who warmly greeted Xu Niannian when they saw her.

After all, Xu Niannian was now a major household in the entire village.

Xu Niannian politely responded as they quickly made their way to the factory.

Xu Niannian walked in front, with Chen Xiaorou following obediently behind her. As soon as they entered the factory, some workers saw Xu Niannian and enthusiastically greeted her, "Hello, boss."

All the workers inside were fellow villagers from the same village as Xu Niannian.

Suddenly being addressed as a boss, Xu Niannian still felt a bit uneasy, but she didn’t retort.

She smiled and nodded, then asked, "Where is the deputy manager?"

"In the office," came the reply.

Xu Niannian then led Chen Xiaorou to the office, and before entering, Xu Niannian knocked on the door.

From inside came Xu Zhiqiang’s mature yet youthful voice, "Come in."

Hearing the long-missed voice, Chen Xiaorou became so excited that she didn’t know where to put her hands, staring blankly at the door.

Xu Niannian opened the door and walked in; the office was almost fifty square meters, with a desk on each side.

They were the desks of Xu Erhong and Xu Zhiqiang.

At that moment, Xu Erhong’s desk was empty, with only Xu Zhiqiang sitting behind his own desk.

There was even a sign on the desk that read "Deputy Manager."

Seeing Xu Niannian come in, Xu Zhiqiang stood up excitedly from his seat, joyfully exclaiming, "Sis, you’re here?"

He had completely failed to notice Chen Xiaorou following behind Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian smiled helplessly, "Where’s Uncle Er?"

"Uncle Er went to the town to buy some things," Xu Zhiqiang said.

Since Xu Erhong was not around, Xu Niannian decided to delegate the task to Xu Zhiqiang, "Later, instruct them to add an order for 40,000 more Liuyue Su."

Hearing there was another order, Xu Zhiqiang was over the moon. They had just received an order for 120,000 Liuyue Su a couple of days ago, and now another 40,000—how could he not be thrilled?

"By the way, I brought Xiao Rou down with me. You’re now the deputy manager, and you need to learn more. I’ve asked Xiao Rou to come down and teach you. You can ask her anything you don’t understand," Xu Niannian added.
