Chapter 699 Family Portrait, Holiday

$697

When Huo Yingjie received the family portrait drawn by his daughter, Huo Yingjie's eyes were a little wet.

Although the children are young, they still miss him.

But he is worried that if he doesn't go back for a year or two, the two children will probably forget him.

Thinking of this, Huo Yingjie immediately wrote back to He Tiantian and expressed his concerns.

When He Tiantian received the reply, she shook her head and laughed. This man was actually worried that the children would forget him.

How could they forget?

This big fool.

Under her deliberate guidance, the children would talk to Huo Yingjie's photo every morning, greet their father, and give him a goodnight kiss before going to bed at night.

He Tiantian told Huo Yingjie in the letter not to worry, the children would not forget him.

Huo Yingjie was moved when he received the letter from his wife.

As long as they don't forget him, it's better than anything else!

The relationship between the two did not become indifferent because of separation, but missed each other more.

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

He Tiantian prepared festival gifts for her relatives in Yanjing and Qijia Village and sent them over early.

These days, the Sanfengqiao braised meat shop and the pastry shop have been doing particularly good business.

There are a few reasons for the good business: on the one hand, there are more and more old customers in Sanfengqiao, and the taste is good; on the other hand, and the fundamental reason, the people's income has increased, and their lives are getting better and better than before.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, six pigs, fifty chickens, thirty ducks, and thirty geese are needed every day. Sometimes they are sold out, and there are still people coming to buy.

The sales volume of the pastry shop, especially the gift boxes, is several times higher than before.

All employees work overtime.

Seeing that everyone was working so hard, He Tiantian suggested, "Uncle Sun, don't work overtime at night. It's not a big deal if you work less and earn less."

"No, we don't sell much during the holidays. We should sell more and earn more during the festival." Sun Sihao said, "If you feel bad, you can give more wages and benefits during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Is this what everyone thinks?" He Tiantian asked. As long as the body can hold on, it's nothing for her to pay more money.

"Yes!" Sun Sihao smiled, "Everyone is tired now, and they are happy to make money."

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare some." He Tiantian nodded and give everyone a surprise.

According to this sales volume, the profit is also two or three times the previous one, and the pastry shop is estimated to be four or five times.

He Tiantian can't be stingy. Everyone is equally busy, so the benefits for the festival are the same, 200 yuan per person, one chicken, one duck, one goose, ten kilograms of meat, all braised, and ten kilograms of various pastries.

On the afternoon of August 15th, after selling the snacks and braised meat in the store, they took a half-day break and went home to celebrate the festival.

"Everyone has worked hard, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, this is a little thought." He Tiantian took out red envelopes, one for each person, and then a big gift bag for each person, and a basket of meat.

Seeing so many things, everyone was more energetic.

I heard before that the leader would express something, but I didn't expect that the expression was so in place, not only giving bonuses, but also giving so much meat.

This is better than the treatment in the unit!

Thinking of this, they cherish their current jobs more!

Tang Qinghe didn't expect He Tiantian to be so generous. She was in a state-owned restaurant before, but was fired because she offended the leader there.

Fortunately, she listened to her friends' advice and came here to work.

Although the work is a bit tiring, most of the work is done by two apprentices.

It doesn't matter if you don't get angry, it doesn't matter if you are tired!

"Thank you, leader!" Everyone thanked.

These bonuses and benefits are very gratifying, but they know that the salary at the end of the month is even more gratifying.

Both shops are paid according to 10% of the profit. The more we buy this month, the more money we make. The profit of 10% is also more than before.

"You're welcome. Go home and have a good holiday." He Tiantian smiled, "By the way, when you leave, you must check it once. Our shop is doing well now, so we still need to leave someone to look after the shop at night."

Qian Shikun thought for a while and said, "I'll look after it. Anyway, I'll go back alone!"

Sun Sihao and his wife have a good relationship with Qian Shikun. They don't have children, so they will be lonely when they go back. They said, "Tiantian, don't worry. The three of us will look after the shop and celebrate the holiday here."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. It's the same wherever you celebrate." Sun Sihao smiled and said, "It's getting late. Tiantian, you should go back too."

"Okay, I'll go back first." He Tiantian agreed. Although Huo Yingjie was not there, there were still children, parents-in-law, and Grandma Wang, so they had to have a good holiday.

When He Tiantian went back, she also brought a big gift bag, a basket of braised meat and chicken and duck.

In order to cater to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sanfengqiao made mooncakes. Due to limited raw materials, there are not many types of mooncakes, only four kinds, the classic five-nut filling, red bean paste filling, mung bean paste filling, and meat floss filling.

Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun were already waiting at home.

The meal was also ready. After He Tiantian came back, she found the snack plate and put the mooncakes and snacks on the table.

He Tiantian took out the last small jar of peach blossom wine and had a drink with her mother-in-law and Grandma Wang.

Huo Zhekun drank white wine and poured it by himself.

If his son was there, he could drink and chat with his son.

The family always felt incomplete without Huo Yingjie.

Fortunately, there were still children laughing and joking, which diluted the loss.

At night, the children were asleep, He Tiantian cleaned up the pots and pans, and Jiang Lifang came to help.

"Tiantian, I'm sorry for you." Jiang Lifang felt even more sorry for He Tiantian when her son was away. Not only did she have to go to school, but she also had to take care of the children and run the shop.

It was too hard.

"Mom, I'm not sorry." He Tiantian smiled, "It's good this way. As long as we are safe and healthy, it's better than anything else."

Hearing He Tiantian's words, Jiang Lifang felt even more sorry for He Tiantian.

"What a good child." Jiang Lifang said, "If you have any difficulties, don't keep them to yourself, tell us. Your father-in-law and I will definitely help you."

"Yes, I know." He Tiantian nodded, "It's really nothing. We have passed the most difficult time. Now it's just a temporary separation, it's nothing. Wait until Brother Yingjie has a vacation, he will go home."

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Lifang said, "There are too many things that are beyond his control. Yingjie is now a national scientific researcher and has his responsibilities. As family members, we can only take good care of the family and let him have no worries."

"I know, mother." He Tiantian said, "I will take good care of the children, respect you, and wait for Brother Yingjie to come back."

After packing up, Jiang Lifang went back.

Huo Zhekun was drinking tea while waiting for Jiang Lifang.

"It's a big holiday, why do you look a little unhappy?" Huo Zhekun asked puzzledly, wasn't he very happy before?

"Men are just too generous. Since Yingjie is not around, I have to comfort Tiantian!" Jiang Lifang said angrily, "At such a young age, you have to live apart from each other. Alas, Tiantian is wronged."
