A three-year-old girl in China who offers special help to her tofu-selling grandfather by bowing to customers and saying: “Welcome again next time,” has melted hearts on mainland social media.
Earlier this month, Qingdao Traffic Radio reported that the girl, nicknamed Xiaoxinxin, from Liaoning province in northeastern China, was helping her grandfather sell bean curd for 3 yuan (40 US cents) a bag but provided service “worth 3,000 yuan” (US$400) according to customers charmed by the little girl.
In a video posted with the news report, the grandfather passes a bag of bean curd to Xiaoxinxin. After she hands it to a customer, she places her hands on her belly and bows to show her gratitude.
“Welcome again next time. Please watch your step,” Xiaoxinxin tells the customer in the video.
She gives the same level of service to every customer.
Xiaoxinxin’s mother, surnamed Huang, said her daughter understands that making and selling tofu is hard work and wants to help her grandfather.
Huang said her daughter reminded her of herself as a child when she used to help her father sell bean curd.
“I’m very happy and touched,” Huang said.
