Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 264: 098: Principle-based Boss Ni, targeting Li Xianxian’s Zheng Xianjingi

One should be content and not be greedy.

Hearing this, all four of them refused.

“We don’t need a break, Yangyang, we’re not tired at all!”

“Indeed, this job is much more relaxed than working in the fields!”

“I’ve gained quite a bit of weight since I started working here.”

“Me too, I’ve put on weight.”

Working at the Noodle Restaurant only requires washing dishes and cooking noodles, without need to endure scorching sun or drenching rain. They had not only gained weight but also their skin had become much fairer.

Previously, when working at home all year round, doing dirty and tiring farming work, they barely made any money.

In a single month working at Ni Yang’s, they earned as much as they did in a whole year at home!

The four of them were genuinely grateful to Ni Yang.

Ni Yang said with a smile, “How can you not rest? Work and relaxation should go hand in hand. Let’s follow this plan next year.”

“Yangyang, we really don’t need to rest!”

“Yes, yes, we really don’t need to rest!”

Still, the four of them insisted on refusing.

Ni Yang continued, “Ladies, there’s no need for you to refuse. You’re not made of iron. How can you not rest? Plus, you all have elderlies and little ones at home. Use the break time to take care of your family.”

Hearing this, the four of them didn’t knowwhat to say.

Ni Yang not only offered them the best treatment, gave them red envelopes and year-end holiday during Chinese New Year, but now she was also giving them four days off a month.

They must work hard and not let Ni Yang down!

After taking care of this matter, Ni Yang started to lock the door and leave.

There were quite a lot of New Year goods purchased today, and the backseat couldn’t fit anyone, so Ni Cuihua took the tram home with her child.

At around seven o’clock in the evening, the night temperature was very low, all the passengers on the tram were bundled up tightly, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the steps of the tram.

Ni Cuihua, holding her child, didn’t notice it, and her foot stepped on the ice surface, causing her and her child to lurch forward due to the sudden force.

As she was about to fall to the ground, someone caught her just in the nick of time.

“Comrade, are you okay?” A thick, kind voice sounded above Ni Cuihua’s head.

Ni Cuihua was so scared that her heart raced. Looking up, she saw a man about thirty to forty years old, with a square face, tall and thin figure, a typical intellectual, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and emanating an elegant demeanor.

They were standing a bit too close, and Ni Cuihua didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding. She hurriedly took a step back while holding her child, repeatedly bowing in gratitude, “I’m fine, thank you! Thank you!”

If it hadn’t been for this middle-aged man acting swiftly, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Ni Cuihua felt a chill run down her spine.

The middle-aged man casually adjusted his glasses, “It was the least I could do, you don’t need to be so polite. Is the child okay?”

Little Ni Yun seemed to understand the middle-aged man’s words, he didn’t look scared at all and even looked up and smiled at him, babbling as if he wanted to talk.

The six-month-old baby was plump and fair, with clear and bright eyes, a clean face without a trace of dribble or snot, looking as lovely as the babies in New Year paintings.

In this era, families usually had five or six or even more children, and there was no time for parents to take care of them since they were busy working.

Therefore, elder children were usually the ones taking care of the younger ones. It was rare to see anyone take such good care of their child.

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but take another look at Little Ni Yun, then finally looked closely at Ni Cuihua. No wonder she could raise such a lovely child; she was no ordinary person.

Talking with a strange man for the first time, Ni Cuihua was a bit apprehensive, “My child is fine too, thanks to you just now.”

The middle-aged man continued, “The roads are slippery in the snow. You should be careful when carrying a child.”

“You’re right.” Ni Cuihua nodded nervously.

Without saying much else, the middle-aged man returned to his seat and continued reading the newspaper.

Ni Cuihua also found an empty seat and sat down.

The tram slowly started moving.

Along the way, people kept getting on and off the tram.

When Ni Cuihua looked up again, the middle-aged man who had helped her was no longer on the tram.

Such a kind man he was!

Ni Cuihua thought.

Outside the tram, a black bicycle slowly passed by.
