Reborn in the 1980s: The Rough Man Brother Loves Me So Much

Zheng Yao looked at Yan Jintang with eyes filled with admiration for a moment, but when she noticed it, she quickly hid this emotion.

She said thank you many times carefully.

"You're welcome. It's just a book. If you like it, I'll buy you a few more later."

Zheng Yao wanted to refuse because she thought it was too expensive, but she was reluctant to do so because she really liked it.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Yan. I will cook for you more attentively in the future."

Yan Jintang suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her black hair, but this action was not appropriate. He looked at the time and said, "It's a little late. I'll take you home."

"It's okay. It's not far. I can walk back by myself."

"No, it's too dark. I'll take you there in ten minutes."

Zheng Yao wanted to refuse again, but at this moment there was a knock on the door.

Yan Jintang went over to open the door, and it was a monkey that came in.

Zheng Yao thought it was a perfect match, and she knew the monkey.

But Monkey was surprised. Why was Zheng Yao alone with Yan Jintang? He remembered that she had delivered something to him a few days ago! Why was she here to deliver something again at this time of night?

"Zheng Yao, you're here to deliver something so late!"

"Brother Monkey, you guys talk to Mr. Yan. I'm leaving first."

Zheng Yao walked to the door to change her shoes. Yan Jintang knew that Zheng Yao didn't want him to send her home, so he grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll talk to Monkey and ask him to send it back to you. Wait a few minutes."

Zheng Yao nodded.

In the next two days, Zheng Yao came to Yan Jintang every day to cook for him. Because of a book, she worked harder.

If the store is not busy and closes early, she will come early and help him clean up the house.

For convenience, Yan Jintang also gave her a key.

Zheng Yao didn’t want it at first, but when she thought about how it would be more convenient for cooking, she took it down.

That day, she had just finished cooking for Yan Jintang and was about to leave when Yan Jintang came back.

Zheng Yao always felt that his face looked a little bad, "Mr. Yan, are you feeling unwell?"

Yan Jintang shook his head, but when he saw her concerned look, he nodded again, "Yes, I have a headache, uh, and I'm a little tired and a little insomniac."

"Then please come in and eat, then take some medicine and go to sleep! Maybe you are too tired and need to rest. Sometimes people can't sleep when they are too tired. Do you need me to call Doctor Li for you?"

"It's okay. I, I just need to take a rest."

After he washed his hands and started eating, Zheng Yao didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she went to the kitchen and fiddled with something.

After a while, a cup of wolfberry, mulberry and red date tea was brought out.

The vein on Yan Jintang's forehead jumped...

I remembered that Zheng Yao made him a Chinese wolfberry chicken soup the day before, but he was too hot to sleep well the whole night. Now this happened again...

"Mr. Yan, remember to drink this. It may help you sleep."

Yan Jintang looked at the cup of tea and thanked him politely, but did not move.

Zheng Yao saw that he didn't drink, but frowned, "Mr. Yan, why don't you drink?"

Yan Jintang, ".....Put it there for now, I'll drink it later, aren't you leaving?..."

Zheng Yao still didn't move, so Yan Jintang had no choice but to pick up the cup of tonic tea. Zheng Yao watched him finish the cup, and asked him to eat all the wolfberries and mulberries in it before leaving.

Zheng Yao’s idea was very simple. If Mr. Yan was not in good health, how could he have the energy to help her find those books!

Zheng Yao worked for Yan Jintang for more than ten days, and until early May, there was still no news of Yan Jintang's aunt.

But she found out that Yan Jintang was really recruiting, but for some unknown reason she couldn't find any suitable people.

When Ling Ju went to the store, she found Zheng Yao wiping the table in a daze. She had been in the store for a long time but Zheng Yao didn't notice her.

He walked to Zheng Yao and patted her gently. Zheng Yao was startled. She saw that it was Ling Ju, and she brought Song Lingchen with her. She immediately picked up Song Lingchen.

"Hey, Orange, I didn't even notice when you came."

"You, you're in a daze, what are you thinking about?"

Zheng Yao blushed a little and shook her head, "I didn't think anything."

Ling Ju put a big bag of steamed buns on the table, "These are the brown sugar buns my mother made. I'll give you some to try. Are Hu Jun and the others in the back?"

"Hu Jun went to deliver the goods to the Security Bureau cafeteria, and Wu Jian went to deliver the goods to the Land Bureau. Oh, Orange, it's really great that we have a factory to produce the goods now."

Ling Ju smiled, "Yes, they were exhausted before, but now they are fine. Besides, we won't have enough staff once the second store opens. If we want to continue making sauce, we have to continue hiring people."

Zheng Yao nodded, "I dare not imagine how high our sales will be in the future."

Ling Ju sat down and drank some hot water, then poured a cup for Song Lingchen and Zheng Yao. "I hope the sales volume can be stabilized. Too much or too little is not good. Now the second Chuan Xiaoxiang store has also started selling. In fact, if you calculate it this way, it is equivalent to us having three branches."

"Yes, the sales at the second Chuan Xiaoxiang store are pretty good. Hu Jun came back after delivering the goods and said that they can sell more than 50 bottles every day. In addition, the chef there has also developed some dishes with meat sauce, such as meatballs with meat sauce and noodles with meat sauce. I heard that they are very popular. Zhen Zhen came to me at noon yesterday and told me that meat sauce is now also served in the steel plant cafeteria."

Ling Ju was very pleased that her employees were so concerned about the sales of each store in private.

She came here today for another matter.

Ling Ju took out three red envelopes from her bag and gave the one with Zheng Yao's name on it to Zheng Yao, "Here, this is the spring quarter bonus."

Zheng Yao exclaimed, "Thank you, boss!"

Ling Ju smiled, "Don't complain about it being too little! Spend what you need! You're still a young girl, so you can go out and buy some snacks and new clothes when you have nothing to do. Times are different now, and you don't have to pay wages, so you should be more generous to yourself."

Zheng Yao nodded. "Well, you don't know me yet? I'm used to being frugal. I want to save money as soon as I have it, so I feel safe. I couldn't get the money I earned before, but now I can finally manage it myself. I'm happy to see the amount of my savings increasing."

"Okay! Then do whatever makes you feel comfortable! Just don't put yourself in a difficult position!"

Ling Ju chatted with Zheng Yao for a while, and then Hu Jun and Wu Jian came back. After distributing their bonuses, she left.

After Ling Ju left, Zheng Yao went back to her room and opened it to check. It was the same as last year's quarterly red envelope, which was two hundred yuan.

Zheng Yao took the red envelope and felt that happiness was so simple. She put the money under the bed and counted it. She had saved 600 yuan. She would take it to the bank to deposit it when she had a break.

Around five o'clock in the evening, all the goods for today were sold out. After closing the shop, Zheng Yao went to borrow a bicycle from Hu Jun and prepared to go to Yan Jintang's house.

As soon as she turned the corner out of the alley, she saw two familiar figures walking towards the delicious beef sauce.

It's her grandparents. What are they doing here?

Zheng Yao sped up with a cold face, but was seen by the two men, who shouted her name loudly and ran after her, "Zheng Yao! Zheng Yao! You heartless man! Where are you going!"

Zheng Yao didn't want to pay attention to her, but Old Lady Zheng tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. Zheng Yao looked back and saw her sitting on the ground, so she pulled over and walked over.

As soon as she stood still, Old Man Zheng came up and pushed her, "You haven't even gotten married yet! You don't care about your parents, you ungrateful bastard!"

Zheng Yao was thin to begin with, and Old Man Zheng used all his strength to push Zheng Yao, causing her to stagger.
