For three days in a row, Sun Daqin was so tired that she kept pounding her waist. When she first wanted to open a restaurant, she originally wanted to be the chef herself, and her mother-in-law would temporarily take over as the store manager for a few days. When Zhengjun and his wife came, her mother-in-law would retire.
At first, her mother-in-law was not happy about it, saying that she was very busy, but she was the one who insisted that her mother-in-law take over for a few days. Her mother-in-law had no choice but to agree to help, and she was relieved, but she was still worried that her mother-in-law would be tired. After all, she was so old and stayed in the restaurant all day. Even if she didn't do heavy work, it was not easy for her to handle emergencies.
But who would have thought that the mother-in-law managed everything in an orderly manner. However, there were some problems on her side.
At the beginning, my mother-in-law asked her to recruit chefs and then taught a few chefs a dozen dishes. However, she was worried that the recipes would be leaked, so she only taught each chef five dishes.
She was so busy these three days that her arms ached, but the chefs were calm and composed. She felt extremely regretful. Even if the turnover was more than 10,000 a day, it couldn't make her happy.
"Mom, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have disobeyed you. My arms are about to break from exhaustion." When closing time, while others were cleaning and packing up, Sun Daqin finally couldn't help it and took Qian Shulan's hand and began to confess.
Qian Shulan's eyelids twitched, and she sighed faintly, "I told you before that as long as you sign a confidentiality agreement with those people and give them a portion of the dividends to win them over, they won't leave like that."
Sun Daqin was filled with regret. She had worked so hard to get the recipe, and she was unwilling to pass it on to a stranger. But now it was no longer possible. She really couldn't support herself alone. She pinched her sore arms, tears welling up in her eyes, "Mom, please help me."
Maybe she was too tired. The skin that she had taken good care of in the past few years turned oily after being smoked. Qian Shulan looked at her like this and felt sorry for her. "Teach them when you cook. Don't repeat the same dishes that each cook knows. Let them replace you as soon as possible!" She took out a small mirror from her bag. "Look at your face. In order to make a lot of money, have you even given up your own face?"
Sun Daqin snatched the small mirror from her mother-in-law and almost screamed. In the past few years, she has been helping to wash and cut vegetables in the kitchen, taking care of her skin. She is willing to buy expensive skin care products. People in the village say that she doesn't look sixty at all, and people would believe her if she said she was forty. But what about now? Her skin is rough and yellow, her dark circles are very deep, and the wrinkles on her face are like those small ditches, very deep.
"My god, why is my face like this?" Sun Daqin almost fainted. But she was a person who had experienced great things, so she quickly calmed down, slammed the table, and said fiercely, "Teach, I must teach." She didn't want to become so old just to make money.
Three days later, Zhengjun and his wife finally came. Although Zhengjun had never studied management, he was Sun Daqin's son. Zhengkang had to take care of Fengchan and couldn't come. Zhengguo was already the head of R&D at the machinery factory and had a bright future. It was impossible for him to give up his bright future and go into business. After much thought, Sun Daqin could only rely on Zhengjun and his wife.
It is true that the couple are capable, and the greenhouse vegetables they grow are very good, and they are considered a wealthy family in the village. But compared with others, they are not good enough.
"Mom, Zhengjun is now handed over to you. If he can't learn, just scold him without caring about anyone's face." Sun Daqin said this when she sent Zhengjun to Qian Shulan's office.
"He is my grandson, so I don't have to be polite when I scold him." Qian Shulan was a little speechless and subconsciously retorted to her.
Sun Daqin smiled awkwardly and slipped out the door.
After she left, Qian Shulan began to teach Zhengjun how to handle emergencies and explained to him the responsibilities of each department.
Zhengjun was very serious, but he had a narrow vision and was a little petty in his considerations. Especially when he saw that the tableware was so expensive in the accounting book, he almost fainted.
Qian Shulan didn't say anything, she could only let him slowly understand that no matter how much he paid, it was all for a greater reward.
It was not until the museum building was almost completed that Zheng Jun slowly got back on track. Qian Shulan completely let him go and let him start to handle affairs independently while she watched from the side.
By the time the museum's renovation was completed, Zhengjun had become a qualified five-star hotel manager.
Qian Shulan let go completely and started to deal with the museum's affairs.
After coordination, the museum was finally officially launched on the occasion of National Day.
Qian Shulan specially invited many people to come and cut the ribbon. Her museum has cooperation with several universities' archaeology departments, so there were a lot of people coming on the opening day.
Qian Shulan took Xiao Min to receive guests. She was about to leave, so Xiao Min had to be responsible for the management of the museum, not for the money but just for the reputation.
"Are all your exhibits authentic?" Yuan Huaibao took a look around and was almost stunned when he saw several national treasures. He immediately found Qian Shulan to ask about the situation.
Qian Shulan nodded slightly, "Yes, it is genuine."
Yuan Huaibao was immediately dumbfounded, "You are so brave to actually take it out."
Qian Shulan was not worried about this. Although antiques were expensive nowadays, the prices were not outrageous. At least people like Yuan Huaibao could afford them.
She also hired some security guards to protect the collections. Of course, the most important thing is that she has insured each of these collections in Hong Kong. But there is no need to tell others about this.
Seeing the two elders talking, Xiao Min had no choice but to quietly walk to the side and begin to appreciate the cultural relics. Suddenly, she heard a very familiar voice, "Xiao Min?"
Xiao Min slowly turned around to look at him, and then she found a young man in green military uniform standing behind her, "Brother Xiaoyang, you are finally back."
Xiao Min covered her mouth and was a little excited. Brother Xiao Yang hadn't come back for more than a year, and he hadn't said anything else except a letter to her saying he was safe. She secretly guessed that he must have gone on a very dangerous mission and was very worried. Now that she saw him come back safe and sound, she was so happy.
Her voice also attracted the two people who were talking. When Yuan Huaibao saw his grandson, he immediately smiled and said to Qian Shulan, "Now our two families can have a wedding."
Yuan Zeyang has already completed the marriage report, which has been approved. He took a month off specifically for the purpose of getting married.
That afternoon, Yuan Huaibao brought his grandson over with valuable gifts, so Qian Shulan had to ask Xiaomin to call Sun Daqin back.
When Sun Daqin heard that Xiaoyang's grandfather was coming to propose marriage, she ran away without saying a word. Xiaomin couldn't catch up with her mother. Looking at her mother's expression, Xiaomin secretly wondered if her mother was worried that she would hurt her.
The process of discussing the marriage between the two families went very smoothly. Perhaps because the other family did not have a second child to compete for the family property, Sun Daqin did not make any special requests. She played the role of a good mother conscientiously, holding Yuan Zeyang's hand and repeatedly admonishing him, "You must take good care of Xiaomin. She has never suffered and cannot stand grievances. If you make her sad, not to mention whether she will forgive you, even my sons will not let you go. Even if you are a soldier, you can't beat so many people, right?"
Qian Shulan was filled with emotion. How could this person change so much? In her previous life, Sun Daqin wanted to use Xiao Min to the point where there was nothing left. But in this life, she couldn't protect her.
"Xiao Min, don't worry. You also have a 60% share of my mother's restaurant. You must live a good life and don't be willful. I have watched Xiaoyang grow up, and he has suffered a lot. You must take good care of him. Don't be petty with him." Sun Daqin warned Xiao Min in front of Yuan Zeyang and Yuan Huaibao.
You know what, the two were deeply moved. Yuan Huaibao promised on the spot, "I will definitely treat Xiao Min as my own granddaughter, my niece, don't worry!"
The wedding date was quickly set. Yuan Zeyang bought a courtyard house near the Beijing Museum. He had been saving his allowance for the past few years, not wasting it, just to marry Xiaomin.
After buying the new house, the first thing they did was to decorate it. No one else interfered and just let the two young people do it.
However, in order to get married within a month, the two still bought a lot of things at the same time. When the two families were discussing the marriage, the most harmonious thing was the betrothal gift and the betrothal gift.
No one bargained. Both sides offered 500 yuan and let the two children choose for themselves.
Xiao Min was getting married in Beijing, so naturally everyone else came.
Wang Shouren and Sun Daqin thought that the money was more practical, so they gave him 10% of the shares of the hotel and also gave him an extra 2,000 yuan as a deposit.
The gifts given by the brothers were also very practical. Zhengkang got a women's Fei Ge brand bicycle, Zhengguo got a TV, Zhengjun got a washing machine, and Wang Shouzhi and Jiang Yuying got refrigerators.
Wang Shouyi and Li Chunhua gave 500 yuan. Although Li Chunhua wanted to give her the clothes she made herself at first, she found that the clothes here were much more beautiful than hers when she came to Beijing, and she couldn't show them off at all.
Wang Shouli and Zhou Xuemei also gave 500 yuan. They didn't have any skills and had come here from thousands of miles away, so they could only take the money, after all, there was nothing missing here.
Qian Shulan prepared a special wedding gift for Xiaomin. She had exchanged all the gold coins in the mall for things, and she specially took out the space ring with a small world that she had missed before, and told Xiaomin to drop a drop of blood on it when they were alone.
Xiao Min did everything she was told and soon discovered that this was a good thing. She followed Qian Shulan's instructions and didn't tell anyone about it.
October 20th is a good day for getting married. On this day, Xiao Min married Yuan Zeyang. Seeing the two of them getting married, Qian Shulan couldn't help but burst into tears. She finally watched Xiao Min get married before she left. Her partner would not beat her, her family would not always exploit her, and her future would be happy and full of hope.
After Xiaomin got married, Qian Shulan felt empty. Others soon noticed her mother-in-law's loss, and several daughters-in-law came to persuade her.
When Zhou Xuemei thought about Xiaotao's wedding, she cried until her eyes were swollen and she felt very sad. No wonder so many people don't want to raise a daughter. It's really heartbreaking. The daughter who was raised with great effort just got married and became someone else's family. That was really painful.
Jiang Yuying was in a similar situation. Although Xiaodie was not her biological daughter, she raised her and invested so much love and energy in her. If Yizhao left, she would be really worried that Xiaodie would not have a good life and be bullied by her husband's family.
Qian Shulan gradually became cheerful after their persuasion.
