Chapter 748: Fried Dumplings and Eggs
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shu happily looked at the breakfast his parents had prepared. Miss He peeled an egg and placed it in his bowl. However, he only looked at the egg in a daze.
The family could not bear to eat eggs in the past because Miss He needed to sell them. Eggs were valuable to the family, but they could eat one every morning.
Lin Shu and his siblings cherished the eggs and slowly ate them. Lin Shu did not know how others felt when eating eggs, but he thought they were delicious.
Miss He had cooked plenty of eggs for him and his two brothers to eat. Lin
Chai and Miss He also made dumplings last night while their sons helped roll the skins.
The family made plenty of dumplings but did not finish eating them last night. Still, the boys did not expect their mother to reheat them for breakfast. The boys thought the dumplings were still fragrant.
Lin Shu preferred fried dumplings compared to boiled ones. However, one would require plenty of oil to make fried dumplings. Lin Shu used to cook for his parents, so he knew frying consumed a lot of oil.
The Liu family was reluctant to use oil in the past, but no longer. Miss He and Lin Chai always ensured their sons had a better diet. When Lin Shu finished eating, his two younger brothers woke up. “Good morning!’
“Big Brother, why are you up so early?”
Lin Shu taught his younger brothers everything he had learned and even showed them his notes. The two brothers were sensible and studied hard daily.
Although they usually had nothing to do, they did not sleep in. They would also wake up early to help with the housework. They would even learn to read and learn.
Lin Shu said, “l woke up early because I need to go to school today.”
Miss He added, “You two can continue sleeping if you have nothing to do today. I’ll put your breakfast in the pot to keep it warm.”
Miss He, Lin Chai, and Lin Shu always ate together before leaving for work and school. Right before leaving, Miss He would heat rice for her two younger sons to eat when they woke up.
Since the embroidery shop and winery were close to each other, Miss He and Lin Chai typically went home for lunch.
The couple had prepared to go home at noon to cook. However, Miss He’s younger sons would have already cooked whenever the couple reached home. Although they simply reheated lunch, it tasted just as delicious.
Moreover, the two young ones could make steamed buns and simple stir-fried dishes.
Miss He and Lin Chai did not want their sons to trouble themselves. However, the two brothers cared for their parents and wanted to help wherever possible. Whenever the couple reached home, they could have a hot meal.
Miss He made plenty of steamed buns for convenience’s sake. That way, her two younger sons could reheat the buns for lunch.
On the other hand, Lin Shu would have lunch with the Su family when he went to study medicine. Since Su Wenxiu now had more than thirty students, he hired a cook to make food for his students.
The students could have a free lunch in the cafeteria, which Su Wenxiu arranged. Lin Shu enjoyed attending school because he could learn and eat unique foods at noon.
Since Lin Shu t s brothers wanted to eat now, Miss He brought the breakfast to the table. After breakfast, Miss He and Lin Chai went to work while Lin Shu left for school.
Miss He saw people from Su Teng Village and other villages approaching the embroidery shop as she left. Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked.
“Miss He, you’re here early too?” Zhou Wen’e asked. She was walking with Dong Xiaolei to the embroidery shop. The mother-daughter duo always traveled together.
Miss He said smilingly, “Hello, Wen’e. To be honest, I could only think about work last night. I was so excited to start working again that I woke up before dawn.”
“Hello, Aunt He,” Dong Xiaolei sweetly addressed the older lady.
Miss He looked surprised at Dong Xiaolei, saying earnestly, “My goodness,
Xiaolei. You look taller and prettier since I last saw you.”
Dong Xiaolei had darker skin last time, but it became fairer. She spoke confidently and was not as skinny as before. Moreover, she wore a new set of clothes, making her look more beautiful.
Dong Xiaolei smiled shyly.
Zhou Wen’e smiled and said, “You’re too kind, Miss He.’
Miss He shook her head and said truthfully, “Not at all. We work in the same place, and everyone says Xiaolei is considerate, sensible, and capable.”
Dong Xiaolei was one of the first to work at the embroidery shop. She became a manager and also followed Ding Wan to handle essential matters. Dong Xiaolei was one of the most valued workers at the embroidery shop.
While the trio chatted, Shi Cui and Sun Damin greeted them. The two, including Zhou Wen’e, were also the first to work at the embroidery shop. When Su Binglan first built the shop, they learned to make sweaters, down jackets, and rag dolls from Ding Wan.
Later, they became managers responsible for the apprentices. Naturally, their monthly salaries and bonuses were higher than regular employees. They could walk around proudly now instead of feeling insecure and inferior to others.
Of course, they knew they had to come to work earlier as managers. When they met those from other villages, they exchanged pleasantries and discussed the holidays.
Everyone happily wore their new clothes and chatted as if it were still the holidays.
Ding Wan had woken up even earlier that morning to open the shop for the workers. Unexpectedly, the employees arrived soon after she opened the door.
They picked up brooms, mops, and rags to start cleaning the place.
No one slacked off but worked hard instead. After all, the employees knew how beneficial their job was and cherished it very much..
