Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 61 - 60: The Capable Chubby Girl

At first, Lin Wan refused, but after much coaxing, she had no choice and agreed to let her try working at the restaurant for two days.

Despite being chubby, she had a lovely name—Zhang Shuhua, and she was only nineteen years old.

Unexpectedly, this chubby girl was quite efficient; her strength even surpassed that of her brother. She had a cheerful personality and would always pull people into conversations and laughter when she was at the restaurant.

Lin Wan discovered that Zhang Shuhua knew a lot of things; she was indeed from the city.

When delivering meals with her brother, she always returned faster than him, and managed to pick up a few more orders.

After working for two days without any complaints, Lin Wan agreed to keep her on, offering a monthly salary of thirty.

Zhang Shuhua was thrilled; thirty as a salary was comparable to factory workers.

With Zhang Shuhua around, her brother discussed with her and they each took charge of different sections, which made things much easier.

The August weather was suffocatingly hot, and most of the business recently was takeout. It was unbearably hot inside the restaurant with no people coming in; there was no choice.

An electric fan required an industrial voucher and seventy to eighty bucks, which they couldn’t afford. Luckily, it wasn’t just them; several food cart vendors outside were in a similar situation. Besides, she only had one industrial voucher, and she was thinking of buying a sewing machine.

However, Lin Wan still purchased over ten fans at the morning market to place in the restaurant.

Seeing the restaurant offer fans made it better than others, and some people were willing to come. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Even in hot weather, one still needs to eat.

But after a few days, two fans had gone missing. In the end, Lin Wan had no choice but to tie the fans with long ropes secured on the wall to prevent them from being taken over the next few days.

Right now, her brother and Shuhua went to deliver meals. In the restaurant, two people were eating while fanning themselves, and Lin Wan sat at the counter fanning herself vigorously with a fan.

A young and handsome soldier suddenly walked into the restaurant with a lunch pail in hand. He glanced at the menu on the wall and said to Lin Wan, "Comrade, I’d like a serving of rib soup; can you make it?" His voice was steady and reserved, instantly bringing a cool breeze to the stifling restaurant.

"Yes, we can make it."

The soldier nodded, "Please make a serving for me. I heard you can deliver meals?"

"Yes, we can."

"Could you make the rib soup with more meat, simmer it longer, and deliver it to the surgical inpatient department once ready?" "Sure, which room is the comrade’s ward?"

The young soldier provided Lin Wan with the address, paid, and hurriedly left.

After the soldier left, Lin Wan quickly asked Mom to make a serving of rib soup.

When Shuhua returned, her hair was stuck tightly to her face due to sweat, and there was an unusual flush on her cheeks, clearly sunburned. Her clothes were soaked, and her face was all red. Seeing this, Lin Wan knew something was wrong and quickly gave her a bowl of cold mung bean soup and wet a towel in the kitchen for her to wipe her face.

"Ah, that’s much better; the weather today is just too hot." Zhang Shuhua wasn’t bothered; she wiped her sweat and asked Lin Wan if there were any deliveries.

Seeing her like this, Lin Wan didn’t dare let her deliver meals. "You sit down and rest for a while; it’s almost one o’clock. There’s not much to deliver, just one serving left; I’ll run the errand later." Lin Wan said, while fanning Zhang Shuhua.

Looking at Lin Wan, Zhang Shuhua chuckled and teased her, "Having a boss like you is great; really attentive to employee service."

Lin Wan glared at her, "If employees have issues while working, of course, I have to take responsibility. Look at you, just half a month’s work, and your clothes have loosened quite a bit. Your parents at home must be worried."
