"An'an, are you busy?" came her uncle's voice from the other end of the phone.

"Nothing's wrong right now, Uncle. What's wrong?"

“I heard from your mom that things have been quite busy at home lately. Tao Tao just came home a few days ago and doesn’t have much to do. Why don’t you have him go over and help you out for a few days?”

"Tao Tao is home? Uncle, if I remember correctly, wasn't Tao Tao learning culinary skills in Jiangsu?"

"Is this a holiday now?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it. The restaurant he works at has been struggling because of the pandemic; it's barely making ends meet."

"Now I hear that the boss ran into some trouble again, couldn't hold on any longer, and went bankrupt."

“He said he wanted to keep looking for work over there, so your aunt and I thought about it.”

“It’s inconvenient to be away from home. Besides, he’s not in Ancheng, he’s in Jiangnan, which is too far away.”

"Since the hotel over there has gone out of business, we might as well bring him back."

"I'll stay home for a few days first, and then go to Ancheng to find a hotel to work at."

"I don't know if your mom told you? Tao Tao has been there for three or four years now."

"He learned everything from washing and preparing vegetables, tossing and scrubbing the wok, to chopping vegetables and preparing cold dishes, and now to stir-frying."

"So letting him come back shouldn't have any impact on him, right?"

"No, no, Uncle, you're right."

“I’m a bit busy here these days, so please let your cousin Tao Tao rest up and come over.”

"What do you mean 'rest'? I heard from your mother that you were so busy packing and digging vegetables the other day that you were practically running around.

"Okay, I'll let him go over as soon as it's light tomorrow."

"If there's any dirty or strenuous work you need, just let him do it."

"This child has a good personality and is very strong."

“…Okay, Uncle.” Lin Anshu unconsciously touched her nose.

Is this uncle really Tao Tao's cousin's biological father?

They really don't treat Tao Tao's cousin like an outsider.

Of course, that's what her uncle said, but Lin Anshu couldn't actually do it.

Since Tao Tao's best skill is cooking, it's natural to let him go into the kitchen to help.

She was just thinking that when guests come to the village, Ninth Master will definitely be too busy to handle everything by himself.

She was wondering where to look for the person when her uncle called.

Brilliant!

The next morning, after Lin Anshu finished exercising and had breakfast with her parents, she saw her cousin Tao Tao arrive at their house on his electric scooter, just as she expected.

My cousin's name is Deng Jintao, and he is a man who is 1.84 meters tall.

Because he works in a restaurant for a long time, he looks a little muscular.

However, he is still young, and because he has been quite busy in the past, he hasn't developed a beer belly yet.

Overall, the young man looks capable and tall.

"Aunt, Uncle, I'm here!"

"Good morning, Sister An'an!"

"Tao Tao's here? Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've already eaten, you don't need to worry about me."

"I'm just following my dad's orders to come and help my sister An'an."

After parking his electric scooter, Deng Jintao came over and started talking to everyone.

When he came over, he also brought a bag of cereal, a bunch of bananas, and a basket of eggs.

"You silly child, just come straight here, why bring up all this stuff?"

"Aunt, I've already brought it, you can't just refuse it, can you?"

"Here you go, keep it for yourselves."

"Come on, Tao Tao, have a seat. When did you get home?"

"..."

After sitting and chatting for about twenty minutes, Mr. and Mrs. Lin got up and went to the fields.

Deng Jintao then looked at Lin Anshu and asked, "Sister An'an, is there anything I can help with?"

“My dad said you quit your job and went home to farm. At first, I thought he was just kidding me.”

"I can't believe it's true!"

"powerful!"

"It's not that they got tired of living in big cities and had nowhere to go, so they just came home to lie down."

"Today, I'm going to feed the fish, chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs in a little while."

"After that, we need to dig up vegetables and water them..."

"Sister An'an, you're not just lying down, you sound busier than when you're at work!"

"It's alright, it sounds like there's a lot to do, but other things get busy pretty quickly."

"The main thing is that when you go to work, you're working for your boss, but when you come home, you're working for yourself. The mindset is different," Lin Anshu said.

"That makes sense."

"Today, you can come with me for a walk around and then work as our customer service representative from home."

"We'll need your help in the kitchen after the day after tomorrow."

"Alright, I'll follow your orders!"

...

With the addition of Tao Tao's cousin, Ji Chuan, the original customer service staff member, became visibly happy.

In that case, he won't be as busy as before.

With the time saved, he can continue writing his online novels.

Yesterday, after showing my cousin the opening 30,000 words he wrote, she praised him repeatedly.

This got him all fired up.

I can't wait to finish coding the rest.

As for the first 30,000 words, he has already submitted them.

What he needs to do now is to prepare drafts.

Oh, right, I also have to help that heartless boss Lin Anshu clean up her house.

By noon, almost everyone in the village who was busy with their work had gone home.

Just then, the village chief's voice came over the village loudspeaker.

"Good afternoon, fellow villagers and friends."

"Now, I have an announcement to make..."
