After Canary Was Reborn, He Was Favored As a Boss

  Section 541 Parent's Burden

  Looking at herself again, it was also a white down jacket, but it was grayed out due to multiple washings.

   But this is her only down jacket from a big brand, which was bought by her aunt for her birthday two years ago.

  She put on the best coat, and the self-esteem she tried so hard to maintain was easily trampled by others.

  Time seems to be stretched invisible by a hand, and every minute and every second is like suffering.

   Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday and I don’t have to go to school.

  Cheng Ziyi was silently praying for school to be over all the time, and she didn't have the mind to listen to the class seriously.

  As the weekend approached, Cheng's small restaurant also ushered in a peak meal time.

   There are more than a dozen long tables in the small shop, and each table is full of diners. Cheng's father is busy in the back kitchen, and Cheng's mother and the only waiter are also busy like a spinning top.

  Hearing the glass door behind her being pushed open, Mother Cheng greeted subconsciously: "Welcome, there is no place now, please wait..."

  After seeing who was coming, Cheng's mother was surprised and delighted, "Jianshu, why are you here?"

   "I'm passing by after get off work, come in and have a look."

  Looking at the small restaurant full of seats, Xie Jianshu smiled and said, "Business is good."

  Mother Cheng laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, "It's cold in winter, everyone likes to eat soup pots, and business is okay."

  In the past, small restaurants mainly served fried dishes and fast food, but this year, several fast food restaurants suddenly opened up around them, causing the business to get worse day by day.

  Cheng’s father has been running a restaurant for many years, but he still has some brains. Seeing that the store was about to close down, he immediately decided to transform and started haggis soup pot.

   It’s also lucky, the weather is extremely cold this year, Cheng’s father’s craftsmanship is there, and once the haggis soup pot is released, the previous diners have come back one after another.

   Coupled with some orders from the food delivery platform, the business of the small shop is booming now.

  Mother Cheng pointed to the cashier counter, "Jianshu, go sit over there. I'll call you if there's a seat."

   "No, I'll help my brother-in-law in the back kitchen."

   There happened to be diners who wanted to check out, and Cheng's mother suddenly couldn't care about her younger brother.

  It was busy until 9 o'clock, when the last table of customers in the store checked out and left, Cheng's mother sat down as if relieved, panting and wiping sweat.

   "Jianshu, you sit and rest, we will clean up later."

   "It's okay, my bones are hardened from sitting in the office every day, just think of me as exercising."

  Mother Cheng showed a grateful smile.

  Xie Jianshu chatted with her while tidying up, "Sister, with today's momentum, your store's net profit will be tens of thousands a month, right?"

  Cheng's mother replied with a smile: "The business has only improved in the past few days. Before that, the turnover was only one or two thousand a day, and the profit was less than three hundred a day after renting water, electricity and labor.

  Business has been good these days, with a profit of more than one thousand a day. If this momentum can be maintained, it should be able to make thirty to forty thousand a month. "

  Hearing the good news, Xie Jianshu was very happy for Cheng's mother.

   "You and your brother-in-law have survived all these years, and you are considered to have survived."

   Cheng's father came out of the back kitchen with a cigarette between his fingers, his face was not as relaxed as Cheng's mother.

   "You're a fart, Guang Ziyi's annual tuition fee is more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, not counting other expenses."

  Hearing what her husband said, the smile on Cheng's mother's face also faded.

  Taking advantage of this time, she whispered her plan, "Husband, when Ziyi finishes her first year of high school, let's transfer her to an ordinary school."
