Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Silly and Goofy

"Okay, let’s do as you say."

Qin Jianjun, sneaking some time from his busy schedule, saw Lin Chuxia and Qin Juan coming over and ran over to greet them.

"Auntie, aunt, are you here to see me? Aunt, are you feeling any better?"

Qin Jianjun only knew a bit about the situation with Qin Juan and Zhang Wenbin, as it wasn’t widely publicized.

He only knew that his aunt and uncle had a conflict, and Auntie and Uncle were backing his aunt to divorce his uncle.

Naturally, he sided with his aunt and would fiercely oppose anyone who bullied her.

Lin Chuxia said straightforwardly, "Your aunt is going to work at the Bun Shop, you’re an old hand here, make sure to take good care of her."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Qin Jianjun responded loudly.

He took Qin Juan to get an apron and sleeves, got dressed, and started working, introducing her to other staff members they met along the way.

Knowing that Qin Jianjun was dependable, Lin Chuxia felt relieved to leave Qin Juan with him and went upstairs with Jia Liang.

In the morning, they needed to prepare for the breakfast customers, and the construction on the second floor didn’t start too early, so there were no workers around at that time.

Even so, the renovation progress on the second floor was not slow, the overall layout was taking shape, and they were working on further detailed decoration.

"In another week, the renovation should be complete, and after airing it out for three or five days, it will be ready for use. The tables and chairs have been ordered from the wood factory according to Mr. Lin’s requirements, and they will be ready in about 10 days. After another few days of airing, it will not delay the use at all."

Jia Liang reported to her the recent developments while showing her around.

"How about the chefs and wait staff? If suitable, they can start interning at the Bun Shop."

"The chefs have been contacted, just waiting for Mr. Lin to have time to test the dishes."

"Okay, let’s schedule it for the day after tomorrow."

These matters should not be delayed, in case they aren’t suitable, there will still be time to make another selection. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

After arranging everything, Lin Chuxia was ready to leave.

As she was going downstairs, she saw Qin Juan serving steamed buns to a customer, with a gentle and amiable smile that was quite infectious, and the customers buying buns were charmed by her.

Lin Chuxia didn’t want to disturb them and left the Bun Shop.

Master Old Sir He had left An City for a while now.

When Old Sir He left by train, Lin Chuxia asked him repeatedly to call or write to her once he arrived, to leave a contact.

However, the old man didn’t follow up and it was only a few days ago that he sent a letter to his home.

She asked Sun Lanlan to help forward the letter to her, which should have arrived within a couple of days.

Upon inquiry at the post office, indeed there was a letter for her, which had just arrived today.

Lin Chuxia, somewhat impatient, took the letter, the return address was from Capital City; the old man had actually gone to the capital.

The content of the letter was very simple, a thin sheet of paper, with a tone of reproach.

Complaining about how well he is doing currently, grudging Lin Chuxia for bothering him, even having to write to her while he’s away, not allowing him to have a moment of peace.

Lin Chuxia knew that Old Sir He meant to reassure her; he was fully aware of what she was going through, and he didn’t want her to worry about him on top of everything else at the factory.

Knowing the old man’s current situation, Lin Chuxia indeed felt reassured. The weather was getting cooler, and Capital City was even colder than their place, so she went straight to the department store to buy some warm clothes to send to him.

She lost track of time shopping, not only buying warm clothes for the old man but also picking up a few items for herself and Qin Yang.

Lin Chuxia handed over the items meant for Qin Juan to Qin Yang.

"Today, elder sister went to work at the Bun Shop, and you could see that she was very happy. Turns out elder sister graduated from junior high, and Jia Liang arranged for her to start as a waitress on the first floor. After the second-floor renovation is complete, she will manage the reception and accounts on the second floor. I think this is good too, having elder sister manage the accounts makes me feel at ease."

Qin Yang nodded, "Eldest sister is actually very smart and diligent; she always had good academic performance when she was in school. It was only because I had reached high school, bearing the expenses for three children was truly a heavy burden for the family, so she didn’t continue her studies."

Eldest brother didn’t want to study, that’s why he didn’t continue, but eldest sister truly gave up the opportunity to study so that he could go to school.

Lin Chuxia suddenly laughed, "You’re the youngest among your siblings, yet you were the first one to get into high school. Qin Yang, could it be that you were worried the family funds could only support one high school student and you eagerly skipped grades to get into high school early?"

Qin Yang was momentarily stunned, his handsome face revealing a trace of bewilderment.

He... had never really thought about this question.

From this perspective, the suspicion fell heavily on him.

Seeing that he had taken her seriously, Lin Chuxia’s laughter grew even more exuberant.

Yuan Bao, hearing Lin Chuxia’s laughter, came running over wagging its tail, wanting to share in her joy.

Lin Chuxia rubbed its doggie head and then looked at the man in front of her.

It was rare to see such a foolish and goofy expression on Qin Yang’s face.

...

The setting sun gave way, its afterglow steeping the edge of the sky slowly swallowed by the night.

Dim street lights came on, casting sparse shadows through the gaps in the trees onto the road.

Qin Juan wrapped her clothes tighter around herself, walking home against the north wind.

Suddenly, a figure darted out from the side, grabbing her arm...
