The Store Opens
Editor: Henyee Translations
It was the first time a general store had opened in the village, a novel sight for many, stirring curiosity and excitement to see what it offered.
Chu Xuhua gestured to his siblings with a nod, "Let's go help out."
Chu Qingning tilted her head, "Let's go."
In the general store, Li Qingyu was in charge.
Four graduated children, Xu Dafei, Li Hemei, Li Jianyong, and Zhou Anlan, were the helpers.
Xu Dafei was responsible for stocking and updating the merchandise.
Li Hemei took care of the accounts.
The other two were in charge of sales, weighing items for customers or informing them of prices.
Additionally, there was a boy from the same village with six fingers on each hand. Teased and feeling inferior because of his extra digit, his mother pleaded with Li Qingyu, who, taking pity on him, gave him a job.
He was tasked with cleaning and, when not busy, helped with restocking and other miscellaneous tasks.
