TSU is getting busier and busier

He learned that NT was very very rich cz he just knew abt the amount of inheritance

he really grateful for NT becz NT accepted him even he had nth

first of to make the factory a dream come true, he needs 400 sqare meters of land

but everything is soaring prices ever since the war ended

eventually they managed to get a large vacant lot half a mile down Sampheng Lane

they build the small building with bricks because klaj fire so it good investment

Dealing with the government authorities over the permit to build and operate new factory was frustrating

TSU gotten much more patient ever since he went to the police station to pay for his alien tax which he was not rlly proud of

Father shaking his head while talking to the thai officials (ouis so chir kbal ah puk nis vei)

seems like they want him to pay alot

Father taught TSU how to be kind hearted and that lbeab tha nek poor mok som tenh ey and ot sorng luy ng no need tv khom tea mo venh

After building the factories, dather and TSU bought machine : oven mixer,….

They will tyring selling “chan-ap“ (Chinese cookie) first and see how it goes

They name the bakery “Loet Rot“ in thai (The peak of flavor)

and the name in Chinese is “Lo Buan Chai Heng“

Father and TSU argue abt whose sae to use, father insist in using Tan but TSU was like nahhhh, it should be Lo

For now, NT has three jobs, one the factory and the other one is the import business handed down by NT and his shop.

ME helps run the store and father is in charge of the factory

Kim is also growing up, he is dependable and hardworking and doesnt complain,

TSU is hoping that evreyone would prospect
