Chapter 219 Finally Agreed
Chen Youyou was still a child, and when she heard that Chen Yuan needed her so much, she immediately patted her chest.
"Yes! It's definitely possible!"
After Chen Youyou finished speaking, she giggled and snuggled against Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan knew her quite well, so he reached out and pinched her little cheek.
"Look at your fawning face, tell me, what reward do you want?"
"I want to eat chocolate! The chocolate the school gave us last time was so delicious, I want more!"
"Okay, if you make Great-Grandma happy this time, Daddy will buy you chocolate, okay?"
"Okay! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
With the chocolate tempting her, Youyou danced with joy, her little face beaming like a sunflower.
Watching this scene, Wang Xiulan's wrinkles at the corners of her eyes crinkled into a smile. She grabbed a handful of edamame beans and muttered to herself.
"Tomorrow we need to go to the market to pick out some fresh free-range chicken for you to make soup, and also buy some shrimp. YOYO is growing a lot lately, so she needs to eat well, but also eat light meals."
Upon hearing this, Chen Youyou cheered happily and immediately threw herself into Wang Xiulan's arms, saying sweetly, "Thank you, Grandma. Grandma is so good to me."
The room was lit by warm yellow lights, and the aroma of edamame mingled with the children's cheerful laughter, echoing throughout the room.
Ordinary happiness is hidden in the lights of every home.
In the past few days, besides taking care of his own affairs, Chen Yuan has been checking on Xia Qing's situation.
Currently, the situation is developing in a positive direction.
On the seventh day of the trial operation, the numbers in the ledger had already jumped to a point that made the grandfather and grandson feel a little breathless.
The net profit for the day had already firmly exceeded 2000 yuan. This wasn't just cash flow; it was pure profit after deducting the cost of noodles, sauces, and stall fees.
In addition, Zhang Liping, with her kind heart, brought even better news.
Considering the situation of the grandmother and grandson, after Zhang Liping negotiated with them, the stall management decided to reduce their stall fee to a symbolic 100 yuan per day.
It's worth noting that the price of breakfast stalls near Chen Yuan's breakfast shop has already risen to 300 yuan a day, and there's still a slight upward trend.
Xia Qing and her grandmother never expected that so many people would be willing to help them.
At the same time, earning 2000 yuan a day means that the out-of-pocket expenses for cochlear implants can be completely covered in a short period of time.
As the afternoon was drawing to a close, Chen Yuan came to check the accounts as usual.
As usual, as soon as Xia Qing's grandmother saw him coming, she immediately came to greet him with her cane and tightly gripped his wrists with both hands.
The old man's palms were rough and warm, bearing calluses and scars from years of hard work.
"Little Chen, Little Chen... I... Oh dear..."
Grandma called out twice, then couldn't say anything more. Her voice was hoarse from being moved, and her eyes were red. She tried hard to control her emotions and not let the tears fall.
"We never expected to make 2000 yuan today, we actually did..."
"We never dared to dream of this before, but thanks to you, thanks to you so much, Xiao Chen!"
Chen Yuan sensed the old man's excitement and immediately helped him to a chair to sit down.
"Please don't say that. Of course I provided some help, but it was mainly because Xia Qing is capable and hardworking. Otherwise, no matter how good my sauce is, I wouldn't be able to sell it."
Xia Qing's grandmother knew, of course, that these words were meant to comfort her. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then spoke slowly.
"You don't know that when this stall was first set up, Qingqing's skills were not good, and she couldn't hear people talking. She often stood all day and didn't sell much money."
"It breaks my heart as an elderly person. Her legs are swollen like radishes every night when she comes home, but there's nothing I can do... Sigh, it's all my fault as an old person."
Chen Yuan said, "Please don't think like that. Having you by her side is more important than anything else."
Grandma took a deep breath: "Let's not talk about that. These days, the grilled cold noodles sell out first thing in the morning, and we can't even make two buckets of plum juice. This money is really in our hands. I'm becoming more and more confident about the cochlear implant."
Chen Yuan said, "Grandma, I have to give you another piece of advice: it's best to get the cochlear implant done as soon as possible. First, the earlier you do it, the better the recovery will be. Second, it's not summer vacation yet. Once summer vacation starts, I'm afraid even more people will come to my place. We need to make money while there are more customers, right?"
Summer's grandmother had clearly not considered this point, and stared blankly at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan held his grandmother's hand tightly, knowing that the old woman had difficulty understanding, so he broke it down and explained the business logic behind it clearly.
Seeing that Xia Qing's grandmother was hesitant, Chen Yuan had no choice but to add a strong ingredient.
"Grandma, even if you don't think about Xia Qing, you have to think about me. I'm taking over our stall not only to help you, but also to earn more money."
"If you delay this surgery and miss the summer vacation, which is a great time for me to earn money, wouldn't that be bad?"
After Chen Yuan said that, Xia Qing's grandmother immediately changed her mind.
"Yes, yes, you're right. It seems we should have the surgery first. I'll contact Aunt Zhang in the next couple of days. The sooner the surgery is done, the better!"
Xia Qing stood to the side, her eyes red. She clasped her hands together, bowed deeply to Chen Yuan, and gestured as she spoke.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Chen Yuan just couldn't stand this scene, and at the same time, he had some indescribable feelings in his heart.
He initially helped Xia Qing simply because the system provided him with ten signature dishes. With his new shop opening, he definitely couldn't sell breakfast anymore, so he had to start with these ten signature dishes to establish a foothold in the city center.
Therefore, these 10 dishes are especially important to Chen Yuan; helping Xia Qing is merely a way to complete his mission.
But now, the gratitude expressed by the grandfather and grandson made Chen Yuan feel a little ashamed.
"Please don't say that, it makes me feel really embarrassed. If you want to thank someone, thank Sister Zhang. If Sister Zhang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed these things. Besides, it was Sister Zhang who made the connection for me to get the cochlear implant."
Grandma nodded, put on a smile, and took Chen Yuan's hand to discuss it.
"Xiao Chen, actually I've been thinking about something for the past couple of days, and I'm afraid, well, it's a little... a little embarrassing to say it out loud."
"Don't be shy with me, just tell me. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, no, no, you've helped too much. If you help again, my grandson and I will feel even more embarrassed. Actually, I wanted to invite you to our house for dinner this weekend."
