Chapter 488 Opening
Although He Nan left the keys with Shen Mianmian before he departed, she never once opened the door to his room.
As for the reason He Nan returned to Beijing, he didn’t say, and she didn’t ask.
Just because Brother He was kind to her didn’t mean she could meddle in his affairs; she understood this boundary. She just didn’t know how long Brother He would be gone this time.
With over a month left until school started, she didn’t neglect her studies. Apart from taking Xiaocui around for a tour on the first day, she had stayed home to read from the second day onwards, while Xiaocui watched television.
Initially, Xiaocui felt sorry for the electricity expense and was reluctant to watch, but it was only after Shen Mianmian urged her several times that she was willing to do so.
After resting for a day, the two of them went to bed early, and the following day, before dawn, Shen Mianmian and Xiaocui got up early to go to the store.
The first day of the shop opening meant stocking up on goods. The elderly got up early to buy vegetables, so they needed to get the vegetables displayed early. Not long after the two arrived at the store, Lu Siyuan and Dajun also showed up.
The two of them brought a cartload of vegetables; Shen Mianmian was in charge of pricing, Xiaocui and Lu Siyuan handled the display, and Dajun managed the transportation.
All three were quick and efficient, taking just over an hour to arrange a cartload of goods. Without taking a break, Dajun rushed back with the cart to fetch more goods.
According to the plan Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan made, they would sell the produce from two cartloads a day and three cartloads if the market was good. In this way, the gross for the month would be about six thousand. After subtracting the cost of goods and labor, they could earn around three thousand.
