Travel back to the 80s to farm

The quiet workshop was a busy scene, with workers working enthusiastically. The three workers she recruited were all hardworking and efficient.

Shen Jing was very confident in the three workers, but she also had some reservations. She only let them do some simple tasks, such as washing the peppers, drying the peppers, and crushing the peppers. As for the core secret recipe for making hot sauce, Shen Jing carefully protected it and did not let them have access to it. After all, this secret recipe was the result of her years of hard work and the key to her workshop's success in the market.

The two shops in the town were very busy, which exhausted Old Li. His wife Shen was also busy in another shop. She had no choice but to close the shop and go to find Old Li.

"Old Li, my God, I'm almost dying of exhaustion. Please quickly arrange someone to help me in my store!" Aunt Shen shouted at the top of her voice before she even entered the door.

"Old lady, what happened?" Old Li heard the voice and hurried out to greet her.

Aunt Shen sat down on Old Li's chair and said, "Pour me some water!"

Old Li quickly went to pour some water: "What's the matter, old woman?"

"Oh, I'm too busy running the store I'm looking after by myself. I have to greet customers, keep an eye on people to prevent theft, and collect money. I don't have enough time to put many goods on the shelves in the store!" Aunt Shen said after taking a sip of water.

"Well, then we have to tell Miss Jing!" Old Li said with a smile.

"Didn't Jing say that you are the one who makes the decisions about the store?" Aunt Shen glanced at Old Li.

"Oh, that won't work either. This shop belongs to Jing girl. I can't do anything without her consent!" Old Li suddenly became tough.

When he returned home in the evening, Old Li ran to Shen Jing's house and knocked on the door.

"Jing girl, Jing girl, open the door quickly!" Old Li shouted a few times outside.

"Old Li, Jingjing hasn't come back yet! She's probably still busy in the workshop!" Teacher Zhang said as he opened the door.

"Then I'll go to the workshop to find her!" Old Li said, and was about to get on his bicycle. Teacher Zhang quickly stopped him, "Old Li, this is the meal I left for Jingjing. I wanted Yunlei to deliver it, but since you're here, please help bring it over!"

"Okay!" After saying that, Old Li put the lunch box in his arms, stepped on his 28-inch bicycle, and disappeared in a flash.

"Jing girl!" Old Li shouted after parking his bicycle in the workshop yard.

"Old Li, I'm in the house!" Shen Jing was cooking chili sauce, and Miao Cuiping was helping to light the fire.

"Jing girl, this is the lunch that Teacher Zhang asked me to bring you!" Old Li took out a lunch box from his arms.

"Old Li, what do you want to talk to me about?" Shen Jing asked while stirring the pot.

"It's about the store. Your aunt said that she can't handle the store alone and wants to find someone to help!"

After listening to what Old Li said, Shen Jing thought about it for a while and decided to hire another person to help.

"Xiao Jing, Duo'er's father seems to be back and is looking for a job these days!" said Miao Cuiping.

"Ah? When did they come back?" Shen Jing asked.

"Just these two days, I heard that Duo'er's mother gave birth to three more daughters, but still no son!" said Miao Cuiping.

"What's so good about having a son?" Shen Jing grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Alas, every family has its own problems!" Miao Cuiping sighed.

The next day, Shen Jing came to Lin Duoer's house. As no one had lived there for a long time, Lin Duoer's house looked dilapidated.

After Shen Jing explained her purpose, Duoer's father happily agreed.

Before leaving, Shen Jing asked, "Do you really have to give birth to a son?"

Duo'er's father scratched his head and said, "We in the countryside all want a son to take care of us in our old age. Besides, if we don't have a son, we will be laughed at by others."

Shen Jing shook her head. "Times are different now. Men and women are equal, and daughters can also provide for the elderly. As long as the children are filial, gender is not important."

Duoer's father was silent for a moment, "Maybe you are right, but this concept is deeply rooted in our society and it is difficult to change."

Shen Jing sighed, "I hope everyone can slowly change this idea in the future. By the way, you can go to work in the store tomorrow."

Duo'er's father thanked her repeatedly, and Shen Jing turned and left. She secretly made up her mind to work hard to make more people realize the importance of gender equality.

In the early morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, illuminating everything. Daddy Duoer got up early, quickly dressed, washed up, and hurried out.

He walked quickly to the entrance of the village and saw Old Li riding his bicycle leisurely. Duoer's father quickly quickened his pace and chased after him, shouting, "Old Li, wait for me! I have to go to the store to work today, can you take me with you?"

Old Li turned around when he heard the voice, looked at Duo'er's father and said with a smile: "Haha, Guiping, why are you so anxious? Walk slowly, don't fall."

Lin Guiping ran to Old Li, panting, scratched his head and said, "Hey, it's my first day at work, I'm just afraid of being late."

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the town. Lin Guiping said to Old Li gratefully: "Old Li, thank you! If you hadn't led the way, I don't know how long it would have taken me to find it."

Old Li waved his hand and said, "The place where you work today is my old woman's shop, so don't be polite to me! If you have any problems in the future, just tell me, I will definitely help you if I can!"

Lin Guiping felt warm in his heart, and he felt that there were still many good people in this world.

"Old woman, Guiping is here to help you today, you should train him more!" After giving the instructions, Old Li turned and left.

Lin Guiping walked into the store and saw Aunt Shen sorting the goods. He walked up to her and greeted her shyly, "Aunt, good morning!"

Aunt Shen looked up at him and said with a smile, "Gui Ping is here, welcome! We will be colleagues from now on, no need to be so polite. Get familiar with the environment first, and ask me if you have any questions."

Lin Guiping nodded and began to carefully observe the layout and placement of items in the store. After a while, several customers came into the store.

Aunt Shen was busy greeting customers, and Lin Guiping was watching from the side, wanting to learn how to do business. Aunt Shen saw what he was thinking, so she took the time to explain some hospitality and commodity knowledge to him.

Lin Guiping listened carefully and took note of the key points. Gradually, he became more and more proficient in his work and became more confident and cheerful. After a busy day, Lin Guiping and Aunt Shen closed the shop together. He said to Aunt Shen gratefully, "Aunt, I really learned a lot today thanks to your guidance."

Aunt Shen smiled and said, "You are very smart and learn very quickly! Keep working hard and you will definitely be able to do a good job."

Lin Guiping nodded vigorously, "I will, aunt!" His heart was full of expectations for the future.
