Chapter 402 Beijing in the 6s
Huaihua smiled and encouraged: "Don't be nervous, you will learn quickly. We will teach you the daily business and inventory work today, and then we will take our time."
Su Xu and her husband learned how to count inventory, check the quality of goods, and serve customers. Although it was a bit tedious, they were full of enthusiasm and energy to learn. They were new members of the Su family. Although they were not familiar with the operation of these businesses, they were determined to do a good job and make the supermarket better.
The day passed quickly, and as the sun set, the lights in the supermarket gradually came on. Huaihua looked at Su Xu and her husband busying around, and felt an inexplicable sense of relief in her heart. They quickly adapted to the operation of the supermarket, showing amazing learning and adaptability.
"Sister Su Xu, how did we complete our mission today?" Huaihua walked to Su Xu with a smile and asked with concern.
Su Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "It's OK. Some areas need improvement, but overall it's going well. Thank you for your guidance today, Sister Huaihua."
Huaihua shook her head and said with a smile: "You're welcome. This is our family's responsibility and tradition. You will become more and more proficient in the future, believe me."
Su Xu and her husband looked at each other and looked at Huaihua with gratitude. They knew that being able to take over this supermarket meant a lot to them. It was not just a job, but also a responsibility and honor. They were determined to run this supermarket well and pass it on.
A few days after taking over the small supermarket, the Su family's days were still busy and fulfilling. Huaihua got up early every day to go to the market to buy fresh ingredients, while Su Xu and her husband were responsible for the daily operation and management of the supermarket. They gradually became familiar with the whole process, and customers gradually recognized their service and product quality.
One day, it was another ordinary afternoon in the courtyard of the Su family. Su's mother sat in a rocking chair in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely, with a hint of smile in her eyes. She was the head of the Su family. Although she was gentle on weekdays, she was methodical in her work. Often, a word from her could influence the decision of the whole family.
Huaihua brought a bowl of steaming hot tea and walked gently to Su's mother, saying with a smile: "Mom, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up. The weather has changed a lot recently, so you should keep warm."
Mother Su took the tea, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Huaihua, you have done a good job in taking over the supermarket during this period, and everyone is very satisfied. However, I have something to announce next, so listen carefully."
Su Xu and Huaihua looked at each other, both feeling a little surprised. They didn't know what Su's mother was going to announce, but they felt a little nervous.
Mother Su put down the tea bowl, cleared her throat slightly, and said solemnly: "Starting from next month, you will pay 500 yuan to the family every month. This money is used to support other members of the family and to express your respect and support for the family."
Su Xu and Huaihua looked at each other in surprise. Five hundred yuan was not a small amount for them, especially since they had just taken over the supermarket and their monthly income was not stable. They had not expected such an expense.
Su Xu coughed and asked tentatively: "Mom, this... this share of money is really a bit difficult for us. The operating costs of the supermarket and living expenses have already accounted for a large part of the expenses. Can it be reduced temporarily?"
Mother Su looked at Su Xu, her eyes revealing a hint of understanding and determination. She knew that Su Xu and Huaihua did face challenges in running the supermarket, but the family traditions and rules could not be easily changed.
"Su Xu, this share of money is a family tradition that has been passed down for generations and every family has to bear the burden. I know you may find it difficult now, but this is also a contribution and support to the family. If you really have difficulties, you can discuss with me and make some adjustments temporarily. But you can't cancel it completely. This is the rule of our family."
Su Xu was silent for a while, knowing that his mother's decision would not change easily. He raised his head, nodded firmly, and said, "Mom, I understand. We will find a way to solve it, and we will try our best to pay the share of the money."
Huaihua was listening and felt a little heavy. She knew that the family traditions and rules were very important to Su's mother, and it was also one of the foundations of their growth. Despite this, she was still secretly worried about Su Xu and herself.
Mother Su looked at the two of them, sighed softly, and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Don't worry too much, the family will try their best to support you. But remember, the family rules cannot be easily broken."
In a quiet and ancient courtyard in Beijing in the 1960s, there lived Su Ming, a unique young man. His fate changed drastically because of an accident.
Su Ming had a strong interest in history and antiquities since he was a child. Whenever he walked in the alleys and saw those ancient buildings and carved doors and windows, he would feel respect. However, in his eyes, all of this was not just a historical relic, but a world full of mysteries and unsolved mysteries. Perhaps it was this innate curiosity that got him involved in a strange time and space journey.
That day, Su Ming was flipping through an old book in the backyard of the courtyard as usual. He found this book by chance in an antique market. The pages were yellowed and the cover was torn, but he still couldn't put it down. The contents of the book were mostly some ancient legends and mysterious spells. As he read deeper, Su Ming gradually discovered that this book was not simple and seemed to contain some special power.
As he was concentrating on reading, he suddenly felt dizzy, the world in front of him began to blur, and then he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself back in Beijing in the 1960s - an era he had never experienced but was extremely familiar with.
The courtyard remained the same, but the scene inside was completely new. The streets were no longer filled with modern cars that he was familiar with, but with bicycles and old-fashioned tractors. People's clothes also returned to that era, full of old-fashioned style. Su Ming realized that he had traveled through time and space and returned to the past.
At first, Su Ming felt at a loss, but soon he found that he seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force. This force not only allowed him to adapt to the new living environment, but also enabled him to understand and integrate into the people of that era. Through interactions with neighbors, he gradually understood the life in Beijing in the 1960s and also met some important people.
