"Brother, no need, it's just a bit busy at noon, I can handle it. Once the store's business really picks up, it won't be too late to hire someone. Besides, aren't you about to have a holiday?" Some of the patients or their families at the hospital bring meals out in tiffins.
Even the doctors and nurses at the hospital occasionally opt not to eat in the canteen, choosing instead to run out for a better meal. In hot weather, most don't want to eat outside; the hospital has fans, so they all buy meals in tiffins and return to eat.
"Now that it's hot, not many eat outside; most eat in the canteen. Although we've had more customers these days, they're mostly coming for the special dishes. The hospital canteen's lunch too is fifty cents each, with two vegetables and one meat. However, the taste isn't as good as ours," Liang Hongmei said to her son as she ate, having picked up some business skills from her daughter.
