After scolding him, the old man's expression changed, and a warm smile instantly appeared on his face. He turned to Yan Mo and whispered, "Mo Mo, remember not to do anything at home in the future. I will transfer a few people from home to the store for you. Don't do it by yourself, understand!"

Yan Mo immediately nodded obediently. She was afraid that the old man would do it again.

Afterwards, the old man gave Tang Ping another task, to make sure to get more nutritious foods such as blood swallows.

After everything was arranged, the old man was tired and told everyone to leave.

From the time Wu Haishen gave his instructions, to the time they left the old man's room, and until after breakfast, Si Ze's eyes never left Yan Mo, lingering on her stomach and the expression on her face.

Finally, on the way out of the Si family's old house, Si Ze took a few deep breaths, his expression serious, and asked nervously: "Mo Mo, are we really having a child?" After saying that, he stared at her belly nervously, not daring to breathe.

Yan Mo looked at him and didn't respond immediately. After waiting for a while, she asked instead of answering, "Si Ze, do you want a child?"

Si Ze was stunned, a flash of disappointment flashed through his mind, but he did not show it on his face. He looked at Yan Mo deeply, then shook his head and laughed: "No, I just want a wife." As he said, he took her hand. As long as she didn't want a child, he would not put any pressure on her. This was what Si Ze was thinking at the moment.

As expected, even though it wasn't the first time she heard this, she still felt uncomfortable and disappointed.

However, she didn't show it. She continued his previous sentence and denied it, "I don't have children. You saw it. I winked at Doctor Wu. It was Doctor Wu who helped us. He probably didn't want Grandpa to know! It would do him more harm than good."

"I understand." Si Ze understood. The smile on his face was still there, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see a hint of loneliness. Yan Mo was immersed in grief and did not notice it.

At this moment, both of them felt uncomfortable, so they had no intention of talking anymore. There was silence with only the "tick-tick" sound of footsteps. Then, they returned to the car and left the old house.

Si Ze first sent Yan Mo back to the store before returning to Zhenghong Group.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw A Biao still sitting at the door in a daze. Since he couldn't get anything out of him by asking him, Yan Mo didn't plan to pay any attention to him and didn't step into the restaurant.

Just like yesterday, there were almost no customers during the day. Zhou Tingting was lying at the front desk, browsing her phone. Yan Mo didn't call her. As long as it didn't affect her normal work, she wouldn't say anything.

She walked around the front desk, went up to the second floor, and came to her small lounge. She took out folic acid tablets from the drawer, which were medicines to help fetal development, and took them. She was afraid that Si Ze would find out, so she would not bring these medicines home.

After taking the medicine, Yan Mo was panting heavily because she got up early this morning. Without thinking much, she lay down on the narrow bed and took a nap.

When she woke up, it was already after three in the afternoon. Someone knocked on her door. It was Zhou Tingting, the girl.

"Sister Momo, someone is looking for you downstairs." Zhou Tingting shouted.

"Tell someone to wait, I'll be there soon." Yan Mo responded, raised her hand to check the time, and got up from the bed. She spent another three minutes tidying up her appearance, left the room, and went downstairs.

Zhou Tingting came forward and reported, "Sister Momo, the young lady said she was transferred from the Si family to help." As she spoke, she looked at the girl sitting not far away.

Following Zhou Tingting's video, Yan Mo saw that the girl was about the same age as Zhou Tingting. She had some impression of her. She vaguely remembered meeting her once in the old house. She had to say that the old man was really quick in doing things.

Yan Mo walked towards the girl and chatted with her briefly. The girl's name was Wang Ruxiang, and she was indeed assigned by the Si family.

After understanding the basic situation, Yan Mo said to Zhou Tingting calmly:

"Tingting, please take Xiaoru with you!"

Recently, she has to take care of the old man's birthday party, so she can't stay in the store for a long time. At the same time, her special physical condition does not allow her to work too hard, so she can only ask Zhou Tingting to help take care of the newcomer.

"Okay, Sister Momo." Zhou Tingting responded excitedly, quickly pulled Wang Ruxiang up, and couldn't wait to introduce the situation in the store to her.

At this moment, Yan Mo thought of the phone call he received that morning and immediately stopped them as they were about to leave: "Tingting, is there anyone who wants to come here to be a chef apprentice today?"

Zhou Tingting thought about it, confirmed that there was no such thing, and shook her head.

Yan Mo nodded and said calmly: "Okay, I understand, you guys go and get busy!"

It is definitely not possible to use Zhenghong's chef for a long time. When she made the plan yesterday, she had already posted a recruitment for chef apprentices on the social platform. This morning, she received a job application message from someone. She asked him to come and adapt for a day first, and the person agreed to come today.

She raised her hand and glanced at the time. She guessed that he wouldn't come! Yan Mo was used to seeing people who stood up at the last minute for this kind of job, so he didn't care and turned to go up the stairs.

At this moment, a feminine male voice came from the door and called her:

"Yan Mo."

Hearing the voice, Yan Mo knew who it was without having to guess. It was Fu Haonan. He had come to her place to eat steak for the past two days, but today he came an hour earlier than usual.

She turned and walked down the stairs, smiling and inviting, "Mr. Fu, are you off work so early today? Please come in." As she spoke, she extended her hand to welcome Fu Haonan into the store.

Fu Haonan followed Yan Mo up to the second floor and sat down in a seat near the window with a better view.

"Mr. Fu, what flavor do you want to eat today? Or the same as yesterday..." Yan Mo asked.

"Yan Mo, there's no rush." ​​Fu Haonan raised his hand to stop Yan Mo from speaking.

Seeing this, Yan Mo put down his pen and waited for Fu Haonan's next words.

"Yan Mo, I saw what you posted on WeChat Moments. You are planning to find a chef apprentice, right?" Fu Haonan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the purpose of his visit today.

Yan Mo didn't understand why Fu Haonan asked this, but he nodded anyway: "Yes, Mr. Fu, was there someone who introduced you?"

She could only think of this reason, otherwise, why would Fu Haonan ask such a question? She then shifted her gaze to the person who followed Fu Haonan in, that is, the person who was now sitting opposite Fu Haonan. He was an ordinary-looking man with dark skin, and looked very honest.

Could it be this person?

"Yes, it's him." Fu Haonan admitted, confirming Yan Mo's guess.

"His name is Xiao Kui, he's my distant cousin, a real country boy. He's been in Mo City for about a month and hasn't found a suitable job. Coincidentally, I saw the recruitment information you posted last night, so I thought of letting him come and try. He also likes cooking and is very hardworking. Do you think it's okay?" Fu Haonan explained the situation sincerely.
