At this time, in a town more than 2,000 kilometers away, He Xiyan, who was counting goods on a truck, sneezed several times.
“What’s wrong? Yanyan, did you catch a cold?” Chen Jiahang asked with concern. They had been stocking up these days, which was indeed really tiring.
He Xiyan shook her head and said, “I’m fine, Jiahang. Maybe someone is talking about me behind my back.”
Old people always said that one would sneeze when one was talked about behind his or her back. She did not have a cold.
Chen Jiahang took off his coat and draped it over her.
“Take a rest. I’ll do that.”
Chen Jiahang snatched the book from He Xiyan’s hand. Then he counted the rest goods, affixed the labels and registered them well.
This time they came to load two trucks of agricultural products, which cost nearly 100,000 yuan in purchasing. As the end of the year draws near, they had to wholesale one truck of goods to dealers in the vegetable market, while the other truck of goods, they had to put them in the warehouse as spare stock in order to sell to all parts of the country through their online shop.
After more than two years of hard work, they now had an apartment with three bedrooms and one living room in Ming City, the capital city of Haixi Province. Their small online shop started more than two years ago was now a crown shop of 4A grade. The number of daily orders could reach more than 500, and the monthly sales income was over 500,000 yuan. Now they were no longer selling vegetables in the market, but wholesaling agricultural products. They would wholesale the products they purchased to the dealers in the vegetable market.
In addition, He Xiyan set up an art training school in Ming City with several teachers last year. At present, there were nearly 300 students in the school and she was the deputy principal and the head teacher of the sketch class of the school.
Now their monthly income exceeded 200,000 yuan. Although they are not rich and noble, they are considered part of the middle class.
Their lives were much better than it was two years ago.
When the truck was loaded full of goods, it headed for Ming City. He Xiyan was sleeping all the way. She was really little tired. Two days ago, she took the students to participate in the painting contest held by the Children’s Palace. Later, she went to the countryside to purchase goods herself. She was really in a great bustle.
Back to Ming City, it was already evening.
At home, Aunt Wang had prepared delicious dishes for them. Aunt Wang came with He Xiyan a year ago. Since He Xiyan needed a nanny to help cook and clean up, she then asked Aunt Wang if she could introduce a reliable aunt to them. After knowing that the monthly payment was high as 6,000 yuan, Aunt Wang, at last, came here herself, leaving the farmland behind.
Anyway, she only had two daughters, both of whom were married already, so she had nothing to do at home.
“Yanyan, come on, try this sliced soft-boiled chicken.” Aunt Wang excitedly brought out the dish she had just cooked, which was a new one she recently learned.
She originally only knew some simple home-cooked dishes. He Xiyan asked her to sign up for a cooking class and attend two classes every day. Now she could cook a lot of dishes.
Back home, smelling the fragrance of the dishes, He Xiyan soon became refreshed. She went to the marble table, picked up her chopsticks and tried the chicken.
“How is it?” Aunt Wang asked eagerly, like a child waiting for praise. She was now very interested in cooking.
He Xiyan gave her thumb up and praised:
“Aunt, you are getting better and better at cooking.”
Aunt Wang laughed.
“Like what I’ve said, I was born a cook. I used to be in the countryside without many ingredients, so I could not make it then.”
