As for the apprentice Dong Fang, his background was rather pitiful.

It is said that after his parents died, he came to the capital to seek refuge with relatives. However, his relatives took the money left by his parents but did not treat him well. They beat and scolded him from childhood to adulthood.

He was good at getting things done. Since his relatives lived near Chef Liao, he would go and help him with chores whenever he had free time. He persisted like this for several years. Chef Liao took pity on him and, since his children all had jobs, took him in as an apprentice. That's how he got a job as an apprentice in the police station's kitchen.

I heard that his relatives even made a scene after they found out, demanding that he give up his job to their child.

It was only after Chef Liao stepped in that the problem was solved.

However, his relatives kicked him out immediately after that and wouldn't let him stay at their house anymore.

Chef Liao initially took him in for a while, but later, after he started earning a salary, he rented a place on his own.

Life is pretty good now.

However, because he has no house and no parents, he has not yet been able to get married.

Those with good qualities don't want her, and those who do are either unattractive or divorced, so she's still single.

Chef Liao was extremely anxious and kept asking Aunt Liu and the others to help him find a partner.

Su He couldn't help but glance at Dong Fang after hearing this. She hadn't expected him to be such a pitiful guy, but thankfully, his suffering was finally over.

...

Getting back to the point, Su He and the kitchen staff all asked about the recruitment information, especially Aunt Liu.

But the answers she received were all the same: there was no news of any job openings, so she had to give up for now and wait and see.

After others learned of her idea, they also said they would help inquire.

Although she has only been here for a few days, Su He has already won everyone's favor with her personal charm.

After all, who can resist a hardworking, down-to-earth child who never complains about being tired?

Although Su He was satisfied with the current situation, she was still a little anxious. After all, she knew that she wouldn't be able to do this job for long, and she would have to leave once Aunt Xu recovered.

But there's no news about other jobs right now, so we'll have to think of other options.

Recently, Aunt Xu has been using her connections to inquire about the matter. Although she hasn't heard anything yet, Su He is still very grateful. Sometimes when Brother Xu is away on business, she takes the initiative to do all the heavy housework, which makes Aunt Xu and Sister-in-law Xu like her very much. They take better care of her, and Sister-in-law Xu even found some clothes that Su He no longer wears for her.

So she's quite comfortable living here.

...

That day, Su He and everyone prepared lunch, but no one else from the institute came to eat.

Everyone seemed unsurprised.

"They've probably run into another case!" Aunt Liu said from the side.

"Yes," Aunt Qin nodded in agreement. "These police officers have it tough. When they're busy with a case, they don't even have time to eat, and there's often danger involved."

Aunt Liu sighed upon hearing this, her expression showing some worry, probably because she was concerned about her nephew.

Fortunately, around 2 p.m., a group of people entered the kitchen.

Among the first few young cadres was Aunt Liu's nephew, Li Yi.

As soon as he came in, he called out to the kitchen, "Second Aunt, is there any food? We're hungry!"

Aunt Liu laughed when she heard her nephew's words, "They're all warmed up for you, just wait!"

Then he told Su He and the others to take the rice out of the pot.

When Su He was serving the food, she noticed how tired the customers looked, so she instinctively poured extra spoonfuls of food, making them all look at her with gratitude.
