Xu Nianhua was helping Ji Ying in the kitchen, with Pei Yining acting as an assistant, but to call her an assistant was a bit of a stretch since there wasn't much she could do. She mostly sat by the stove, warming herself and cracking sunflower seeds.
Xu Nian'an, Xu Nianji, and Pei Yicheng sat together chatting—mostly about the Chili Sauce Factory and Xu Nian'an's small stall selling hair clips.
Pei Yicheng had a sharp mind and was extremely talented in business.
"It's good that you run a stall, Nian'an, but your schoolwork is only going to get heavier. I'm afraid you won't be able to manage both," Pei Yicheng reminded him, noting that if Xu Nian'an didn't need to attend college, running a stall could make him quite a bit of money in the future.
But Xu Nian'an was still a student. Operating a stall for a while was feasible, but doing it every day over the long term would definitely affect his studies.
