The two of them cleaned up a bit, lit the stove, and didn’t use any special ingredients. Since both of them were tired, Sun Chan just made scrambled eggs and cooked a few pancakes. They didn’t even have chairs, so they sat on the edge of the kang to eat.
While eating, Guihua asked Sun Chan what she planned to do in the future.
Sun Chan smiled and said, "I don’t have much capital right now, so I’ll just sell some fruits. I’ll also make some snacks to sell, something on the side. If I can make some money, great; if not, it’s no big deal."
Guihua chuckled. She had money in hand and had been planning to rent a house to open a small inn for a while, hoping for Sun Chan’s help. However, seeing that Sun Chan seemed unwilling, she decided to probe a bit.
"I have no problem with money. Now it’s just about finding reliable people. But you don’t seem willing."
Sun Chan grinned and said, "I still want to study, and never thought about doing business long-term. I’m not good with words and don’t quite understand business matters, so I’m afraid I can’t help you."
In her previous life, even though Sun Chan lived to be over forty, she was always living a hard life in the village, knowing nothing about business. It wasn’t her area of expertise, so she wisely refused so as not to hold Guihua back.
"Really? That’s such a shame," Guihua said regretfully. "Where can I find two trustworthy people?"
Sun Chan suddenly thought of Yang Liu and quickly smiled, "I know someone, a colleague from the wellness center. She’s very outgoing and doesn’t want to do temp work there forever. I’m not sure if she’d be interested?"
"As long as the person is honest and hardworking, it doesn’t matter who we hire, right?"
The two laughed and chatted for a while, then got on the kang, lying under the quilt, which was warm from the stove. It felt incredibly comfortable. They didn’t have any curtains, so they could see the moonlight outside through the window. Sun Chan suddenly thought of Gu Junming, wondering what he was doing.
She then felt embarrassed, blushing as she closed her eyes. As for the future, Sun Chan was filled with confidence, hoping to establish herself in the city, save some money, and then study properly, hoping one day to have a future with Gu Junming...
Her mind was a jumbled mess. Why was she thinking of Gu Junming again? She turned over to sleep and saw that Guihua next to her was already asleep. She closed her eyes too.
The next morning, Guihua tidied up and left first: "I need to check on things at home; the child is still with my big brother. I’ll be back in the afternoon."
"Okay! I’ll get my things ready too," Sun Chan said with a smile, "I’ll cook dinner, you just come back and eat."
Guihua agreed with a smile, "I’ll bring some pots and pans, otherwise we’ll have to buy them."
Before leaving, she took the diapers and such that Sun Chan had bought for her. There was no chance to give them back when they had a spat in the village, involving Guihua and Wang Dabao. Only then did she remember.
Guihua didn’t mind such trivial things, but was still touched that Sun Chan was always thinking of her. She said a few words and then left.
Sun Chan had a simple breakfast, then went out to check the nearby recycling stations. There were many things there. Although they weren’t in new condition, they were cheap. Sun Chan had very limited funds, so she had to save money this way.
She first picked out a second-hand bicycle. The bell and the seat at the back were a bit problematic, but everything else was fine, although the appearance was a bit rusty. The person there wanted forty yuan for it.
Sun Chan bargained with him, and finally settled on thirty-four yuan. She also spotted a wooden shelf in the corner. When she asked for the price, the boss, seeing it was cumbersome and that white mold had grown on the surface, waved his hand.
