Chapter 289: Business Is Good
"Yeah, I really didn’t expect to earn 20 bucks in just one day," Xie Yonghong said, patting his chest, his face still in shock and not yet settled.
"The student you’re teaching might be earning even more, like 30 bucks. Her pancakes are sold for 40 cents each, and there are lots of buyers."
"What, are you jealous?" Teacher Wang asked with a smile as he put away the money into a cabinet on the side, feeling a huge weight lifted from his shoulders, as if he’d shed several mountains.
"Not at all," Xie Yonghong answered genuinely without any envy, "I’ve tried that kid’s pancakes, they’re especially delicious. Today, when she left, she gave some leftovers to her classmates, and the rest were for me. After having some, I know they’re really well-made, extremely tasty. Tonight, when you get back, we’ll eat those. If I weren’t so strapped for cash, I’d be willing to spend the extra money to treat myself to a good breakfast too."
"That’s settled then," Teacher Wang sat down, taking his son’s little hand and giving it a squeeze, "We’ll work harder from now on. If we can make this much every day, we’ll save up a fair bit over the year."
"Isn’t that the truth?" Xie Yonghong also sat down, giving Teacher Wang’s hand a firm pat, "Stop teasing him already, he just fell asleep. He was so close to waking up again. This little guy has quite the temper. If he really woke up, I’d like to see how you’d manage to soothe him."
Teacher Wang didn’t dare to move carelessly anymore, knowing that his son indeed could be quite delicate, but that is often the case with newborns.
He glanced at the time; it was nearly time for him to head out and give the student a tutorial.
"I’m off to give a tutorial," he whispered.
