Octogenarian, and The 90S Episode 12 Recap
> Octogenarian, and The 90S Recap
Ye Xiaomei sent Grandma Gui's son away. The elderly residents followed her out, thanking Ye Xiaomei. Ye Xiaomei was embarrassed and urged them to quickly return to the Activity Hall to play. Shi Changsheng got up early and, out of habit, once again tried to use other people's toothpaste. He suddenly had a change of heart and quickly put the toothpaste back.
Shi Changsheng had intended to take someone else's thermos, but ultimately put it back, secretly vowing to break his habit of taking small advantages. Ye Xiaomei filmed Shi Changsheng's changes one by one, then showed these videos to Xiao Qi. Ye Xiaomei continuously spoke well of Shi Changsheng, persuading Xiao Qi to forgive Shi Changsheng's mistakes, but Xiao Qi remained resentful.
Just as Ye Xiaomei was about to leave, Xiao Qi asked Ye Xiaomei to show these videos to his mother, Shi Huijiao. Ye Xiaomei readily agreed. Gao Ming voluntarily came to the nursing home to visit Shi Changsheng. Shi Changsheng was incredibly excited, pulling Gao Ming's hand and sitting down for a heart-to-heart talk. Gao Ming returned the bankbook to Shi Changsheng, saying he had already interviewed with several companies and expected news soon.
Shi Changsheng insisted on not taking the money, telling them to use it to supplement their household expenses. Gao Ming promised to repay him after he received his salary. Shi Changsheng showed great concern for Gao Ming. Gao Ming admitted that company layoffs had caused him to lose his job. He had sent out many resumes in one go but only received seven or eight interview invitations due to his age.
Gao Ming admitted that driving Didi earned him a meager income, but the hours were flexible. Coupled with Shi Huijiao's salary, they barely covered a month's expenses, not including Shi Changsheng's nursing home fees. Shi Changsheng only received two thousand yuan in pension each month, which was far from enough for the nursing home's living expenses. He didn't want to trouble his daughter and son-in-law anymore and decided to earn money by his own means.
Shi Changsheng called Guo Sanshuang and consulted him about ways to make money selling nutrition bottles. Guo Sanshuang, having witnessed Shi Changsheng's sales ability, suggested he act as a shill, promising him ten percent of the sales revenue, split fifty-fifty. Shi Changsheng readily agreed, and the two hit it off immediately. From that day on, Guo Sanshuang went around peddling nutrition bottles, while Shi Changsheng casually acted as a shill beside him, urging customers to buy the products.
They cooperated seamlessly, and sales steadily climbed. Guo Sanshuang praised Shi Changsheng's ability endlessly, even providing him with glasses to pretend to be a health professor. Shi Changsheng followed Guo Sanshuang, bustling around promoting sales. Their sales performance was excellent, and they split the money on the spot. Shi Changsheng was overjoyed and took Guo Sanshuang to the school to see Xiao Qi.
Seeing Xiao Qi arguing with a classmate, Shi Changsheng rushed over to investigate, even snatching an old person's cane from the roadside to cheer Xiao Qi on. Xiao Qi ran away. Shi Changsheng, breathless, caught up with Xiao Qi and only then learned that he had lost his classmate's phone. Shi Changsheng received a lot of commission. He not only paid two months of living expenses but also repaid Ye Xiaomei for the medical fees she had advanced for him.
Ye Xiaomei was surprised, not knowing where he got so much money. Shi Changsheng lied, saying it was money repaid by others, and promised that from now on, he would cover his own nursing home expenses, not letting Ye Xiaomei ask his daughter and son-in-law for it. Shi Changsheng was giving an enthusiastic lecture on health knowledge on stage when a group of people suddenly rushed in, yelling that he was a swindler.
Luckily, Ye Xiaomei arrived in time and escorted Shi Changsheng back to the nursing home. Shi Changsheng insisted on returning, saying he couldn't let Guo Sanshuang be beaten alone. Ye Xiaomei couldn't stop him and had to let him go. Shi Changsheng rushed back to the scene and saw Guo Sanshuang being ganged up on, covered in egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves. Shi Changsheng quickly shielded him.
Ye Xiaomei arrived shortly after and, after much persuasion, managed to get them out of trouble. Ye Xiaomei cooked dumplings for Guo Sanshuang and Shi Changsheng and earnestly advised them not to conspire to deceive people anymore. Guo Sanshuang was unconvinced and argued with Ye Xiaomei, who exposed him, saying that what he was selling was just protein powder, which couldn't fight or prevent cancer at all, and that they were engaging in false advertising.
Shi Changsheng vehemently defended Guo Sanshuang. Ye Xiaomei immediately searched on Baidu for the standards and requirements for health foods and explained them one by one to Guo Sanshuang and Shi Changsheng, warning them not to continue deceiving people, otherwise it would be a criminal offense. The two were dumbfounded. Guo Sanshuang was successfully promoted to manager thanks to his impressive sales performance.
His boss had high hopes for him and even called on everyone to learn from him, but unexpectedly, Guo Sanshuang resigned on the spot. The nutrition bottles sold by Guo Sanshuang were investigated, and relevant personnel were penalized. Shi Changsheng promised not to buy nutrition bottles and not to act as a shill anymore, but Ye Xiaomei was still uneasy. Shi Changsheng wanted to go out to buy fruit, and Ye Xiaomei followed him closely.
Only after Shi Changsheng made a solemn promise did Ye Xiaomei feel relieved enough to let him go out. Guo Sanshuang arrived at the nursing home with a suitcase and bedding to seek refuge with Ye Xiaomei. Ye Xiaomei was greatly perplexed. Guo Sanshuang directly barged in to find his room, claiming repeatedly that Lin Sufen had entrusted him before her death to move into the nursing home to protect Ye Xiaomei, with free room and board.
Ye Xiaomei didn't believe him, so Guo Sanshuang asked her to call Wu Hui to testify. Wu Hui confirmed that this was Lin Sufen's decision before her death. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Shi Changsheng specially bought two large bags of food. Ye Xiaomei personally escorted him home. Gao Ming and Shi Huijiao warmly welcomed Shi Changsheng home.
