The first aunt smiled and thought, 'That's true. Chen Yan isn't my elder brother. How could he lie to me?'
That afternoon, little aunt contacted someone. The next day, little aunt specially found a time when Father and Mother Chen weren't busy to go to the restaurant. She asked about the commonly used dishes in the nearby shops and said that she could deliver the dishes tomorrow, but she had to pay the bill every ten days.
Father Chen and Mother Chen said that they would discuss it with the others, but tomorrow wouldn't do. Tomorrow, she would bring some dishes over to let everyone have a look at the quality. Everyone wanted to confirm whether or not the dishes were good before deciding whether or not to eat them.
Little aunt expressed her understanding and brought the dishes over the next day.
Little aunt's dishes were fresher and cheaper than the previous vegetable peddler's. Moreover, with Father and Mother Chen as guarantors, all the nearby restaurants ordered dishes from little aunt that afternoon.
Little aunt began her career of delivering dishes to the nearby shops.
Little aunt had a good temper and was diligent. Not only were her dishes cheap, every time she released a new dish, she would send some over for everyone to see and confirm the quality before ordering.
After a long time, not only did little aunt take over the shops in this area, even shops in other areas began to contact her, hoping that she would deliver dishes to them.
Because of this, little aunt's days slowly went from being hard pressed to being rich.
Little aunt was different from Grandma Chen. She was grateful to everyone, especially Father Chen who had helped their family so much. She was even more grateful to Father and Mother Chen. Whenever something good happened, little aunt was always the first to tell Father Chen.
Little aunt's family was poor, but little uncle's sister had connections in the county.
After little aunt found out that Father and Mother Chen wanted to buy a house, she told her sister to keep an eye out for them. Later, she really did run into someone who was in a hurry to sell their house to raise money.
That house was in a good location, close to both the school and the hospital. Little aunt ran straight to the restaurant to tell Father and Mother Chen.
Father and Mother Chen had saved a lot of money during this time, and they also had the thirty thousand or so from Jiujiu. It might not be enough to buy a house, but they could get their friends to pool the money together.
Little aunt took Father and Mother Chen to see the house. Father and Mother Chen both had a good house, so they bought it on the spot.
Because the other party was short of money, they directly transferred their household registration the next day. By the time Jiujiu found out about it, their family already had a house.
However, Father Chen and Mother Chen were reluctant to sell the old house they were living in now. They said that they would keep it for when they were old and could retire at home.
Jiujiu also thought that the old house was pretty good. After all, this was a landmark building that Father Chen and Mother Chen had used to resist Grandma Chen.
Because the other party was in urgent need of money and Father Chen and Mother Chen were quick to pay, most of the furniture wasn't moved and was left behind.
Father Chen and Mother Chen kept everything that could be used and threw away everything that could not be used. Then, they organized their own things and directly moved into their new home with Jiujiu and Chen Chen.
The Han Family naturally came over to help with such a big matter like moving house. After that, the two families had a meal at a hotel.
Mother Han said confidently, "I'll ask Old Han to keep an eye on this place. When the time comes, he'll move in and we'll continue to be neighbors."
Father Chen and Mother Chen said that they were looking forward to it.
In fact, the Han Family also moved in three months later.
Han He, Jiujiu, and Chen Chen got together again.
Before Han He could rejoice, he had to do his homework under Jiujiu's supervision every day.
Han He: "…"
Why was he in such a hurry to have his parents move in?
Father Chen and Mother Chen saved more and more money. Soon, at Jiujiu's suggestion, they opened a restaurant in partnership with the Han Family.
It was impossible to open a restaurant with only the three of them, so they hired several people for the bathroom and a chef. Jiujiu took on the task of studying the menu.
Mother Chen made the dishes she had learned at the hotel before, plus the chef's specialties and Jiujiu's dishes. Every day, a group of people tasted the dishes. After a whole month, they finally put together a menu that everyone was satisfied with. Jiujiu also made several banquet lists.
The dishes were the same, but the names were all changed to more festive ones. They sounded very auspicious, and people liked them at first sight.
After opening the restaurant, there was little business at first, but under the management of Father Chen, Mother Chen, and Mother Han, it soon became popular.
Father Chen and Mother Chen were more sincere people and walked the path of small profits but quick turnover. Mother Han, on the other hand, was a glib talker and maintained a good flow of customers for the restaurant. Very soon, whenever the county town held a banquet, everyone would think of Father and Mother Chen's restaurant first.
While Father Chen and Mother Chen's restaurant was doing well, Jiujiu was admitted to a key junior high school in the city and received a full scholarship.
This junior high school was known as the cradle of key universities. As long as you passed the entrance exam, you would most likely enter a key university in the future. Since Jiujiu had received a full scholarship and the school director had personally persuaded Jiujiu to go to their school, it was very likely that she would enter one of the top two schools in the country.
Father Chen and Mother Chen were overjoyed.
Mother Han immediately reacted and asked them to hold two banquets in the school to celebrate.
Although it was a little exaggerated to hold a banquet in junior high school, no one who had heard of Jiujiu's achievements felt that the Chen family was too ostentatious. After all, if they had such a promising girl, they would have held banquets in the hotel every day to celebrate.
Although it was junior high school, it was relatively far away.
Now that transportation was inconvenient, she could only come back once a month.
Thinking that she would be gone for a month, Jiujiu began to focus on Chen Chen and Han He's studies.
Now that she was here, Chen Chen and Han He could still do their homework obediently. If she was gone, what would Chen Chen and Han He do?
After thinking for a long time, Jiujiu directly finished reading Chen Chen's textbook for the next semester. She also made very detailed notes and a set of matching practice questions for Chen Chen. She asked him to complete the homework according to the time she wrote it every day. She would read it when she was home during the holidays.
Chen Chen: "…"
You're really my good sister. You don't forget to take care of my studies even after you're gone.
Tears of gratitude fell from Chen Chen's eyes.
Just when Han He escaped a disaster for himself, Jiujiu directly borrowed a junior high school textbook and began to study by herself. She made notes for Han He and helped him come up with practice questions.
Han He: "…"
My life is over.
In contrast to the tragic feelings of Chen Chen and Han He, the parents of both sides were happy that Jiujiu was so promising, but also a little ashamed.
They were the parents of these two children, but they felt that their hearts had been taken care of by her alone.
The school was going to have military training. Jiujiu went to school half a month in advance.
Because she was specially recruited to the school, there were junior high school, middle school, and high school. In order for Jiujiu to concentrate on her studies and become the top scorer, the school assigned Jiujiu's dormitory to her was not the same six-person, four-person dormitory as the others. Instead, there was an empty dormitory in the teacher's apartment for Jiujiu.
