Chapter 74 Hiring People to Work 2

Night slowly fell, and the two had no intention of calling it a day. Gu Luan glanced at the time and walked out of the RV.

These two people are quite honest. Could it be that they have to wait for her to speak before they stop working?

Well, she is unqualified as a boss.

After all, it’s my first time on the job and I still need to learn.

"Get off work."

Walking up to the two of them, Gu Luan casually glanced at the ice cubes placed aside.

In half a day, the two of them took more than two hundred ice cubes.

That’s almost four tons of ice, which is not a small amount.

It turns out that I still need to hire someone to do the work. It’s too slow to do it alone.

When Liang Heng and Zhou Hu heard Gu Luan's words, they immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Come with me to get food."

Gu Luan looked at Zhou Hu and walked towards the RV.

Zhou Hu followed behind Gu Luan, feeling nervous and excited at the thought of getting food.

"Now we have several options for you to choose from, potatoes, sweet potatoes or rice, take your pick."

“Can I choose rice?”

"Can."

Gu Luan walked into the car and took out a food bag containing a pound of rice.

It's not soaked rice, but the most common and cheapest kind of rice.

Zhou Hu took it happily and saw the white rice in his pocket at a glance.

He hasn't eaten rice for a long time, and tonight he can finally taste the taste of rice.

Zhou Hu smiled like a fool and thanked Gu Luan, "Thank you, Boss Gu."

"Well, go back! We'll start work at eight tomorrow morning and finish at six in the evening."

Gu Luan waved her hand, unwilling to look at Zhou Hu who was smiling like a fool.

Liang Heng placed the cutting machine, chainsaw and other tools in front of Gu Luan, "Boss Gu, let's go back then."

Gu Luan nodded and watched the two of them walking briskly towards home.

After the two left, Gu Luan walked to the ice cubes and put all the ice cubes into the space.

In the dim light, Zhou Hu and Liang Heng returned home.

"Brother, where have you been? I was so worried about you."

Zhou Ling was already waiting at the door, with a look of worry and fear on her face.

Zhou Hu patted his sister's shoulder and opened the food bag for her to see. "Look what this is."

"Ah, rice?"

Zhou Ling covered her mouth in surprise and looked up at Zhou Hu, "Brother, where did you find the rice?"

There were no buildings nearby, and no one knew where her elder brother went to find the rice after disappearing for an entire afternoon.

The most important thing is not soaking the rice.

"Rice?"

Jia Rui and others came over and confirmed that it was really rice, and they were all very curious.

“Where does the rice come from?”

"There's rice, my God."

"Zhou Hu, tell me quickly, where did you find the rice?"

It's just the most common rice, but in everyone's mouth it's as rare as diamonds. Zhou Hu couldn't help feeling sad.

It's only been four months since the end of the world, why is a pound of rice so rare?

"This is what I got from helping someone..."

Zhou Hu did not hide anything and told the whole story.

"Then... is that boss Gu still hiring people to work for him?"

Jia Rui was a little nervous and rubbed his hands together.

Zhou Hu shook his head. "I don't know either. If you want to go to work, I'll go back and ask Boss Gu."

Although he only spent half a day with the young Boss Gu, he could tell that Boss Gu was a good person.

"Okay, okay, go ask tomorrow."

Master Xie was very happy, but then he thought that he was a bit old and wondered if people would be willing to hire him.

The old woman Li Shuhua thought a lot as she held her stupid son's hand, fearing that people would look down on them because one of them was old and the other was stupid.

Everyone is destined to suffer from insomnia tonight and everyone is feeling uneasy.

Liang Heng didn't chat with everyone as he was concerned about his wife Xu Hui's condition.

When he returned to the house, he actually saw his wife Xu Hui cooking in the kitchen in the dim light of the fire.

"You're back?"

Xu Hui turned around and looked at Liang Heng tenderly as he returned home.

"Wife, are you okay?"

Liang Heng quickly ran forward and reached out to touch Xu Hui's forehead.

After making sure that her fever had subsided, he smiled with joy.

"The fever has gone down, but the body is still weak."

Actually, I still have a slight fever, but it should go away by evening. I just need to drink more water later.

"Thank you, husband."

Xu Hui hugged Liang Heng and felt heartbroken at how thin he was.

"Thank you for what? I don't want to live without you."

Liang Heng hugged his wife, his eyes sore.

The couple didn't say anything else, just quietly enjoying the warm moment.

For dinner, all four wooden houses had the taro they had dug last time, except for Zhou Hu and his sister who cooked two or two ounces of rice.

The brother and sister gathered around the iron pot, watching the rice bubbling in the pot and smelling the rice fragrance with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Brother, are we actually going to eat rice porridge tonight?"

"Well, eat more later."

Zhou Hu nodded, asked his sister to take out the bowls and chopsticks, and served each of them a bowl of thick rice porridge.

Zhou Ling ignored the scalding hot rice porridge, blew on it and took a sip, "It tastes so good. It would be great if it could be like this in the future!"

It was only four months, but it seemed like a long time had passed.

In the first month of the apocalypse, their family ran out of food.

Later, the elder brother went out to look for food and was injured.

Later, when extreme cold came, more than a dozen evil people appeared in their place.

So her brother took her and ran away, and on the way they met Master Xie and others who were also running away.

During the three months they traveled together, they licked ice cubes, ate grass roots, and their hands and faces were covered with frostbite.

I came to this mountain and was lucky enough to find some food, so I finally survived.

Otherwise I really don’t know what to do next.

"It will be fine."

Zhou Hu comforted Zhou Ling softly with a sad look in his eyes.

In fact, he didn't know whether it would be okay, but he would do his best to protect his sister.

Early in the morning, everyone in the five wooden houses got up.

Zhou Hu and his sister walked out of the wooden house and stood on the ice.

After a while, Liang Heng walked out of the wooden house.

Xu Hui is not well yet, so she stays at home.

Jia Rui walked out alone, while his wife and two children stayed at home.

Master Xie and Grandma Xie walked out of the house together.

Li Shuhua and her stupid son also walked out of the house.

"I'll go ask Boss Gu later."

Zhou Hu looked at the expectant crowd and spoke to everyone.

"Ah Hu and Ah Heng, thank you."

The group of people were very grateful to Zhou Hu and Liang Heng because they brought back the good news.

It was not even eight o'clock yet, and Zhou Hu and Liang Heng were already waiting outside the RV.

Gu Luan was still sleeping in bed and woke up when she heard footsteps.

When I looked at the time, it was only half past seven.

These two people are so eager to go to work? Didn't she say she would start work at 8 o'clock yesterday?

It was so cold outside, and it wasn't even light at 7:30.

It's not like she's a bad boss who's going to mistreat them just because they show up at eight.

After putting on a thick coat, Gu Luan opened the RV and yawned, "Isn't it time yet?"

"Boss Gu, we have nothing to do anyway, so if we come earlier we can do more."

Zhou Hu spoke with a smile, and Liang Heng nodded beside him.

Gu Luan looked at the two of them and felt that they seemed to have something to say to her.

Looking forward, she saw several people standing not far away.
