Chapter 60 Getting Busy

The next morning, Wei Changfeng came to Xie Shuangbai's place for breakfast and then returned to Dashi Village.

After dinner, Xie Shuangbai asked:

"Wang Yun, is your mother willing to go to the town workshop to cook? If so, she can work with Wei the accountant's mother. The monthly salary is 300 wen."

Wang Yun was very happy and was about to agree, but then he thought of her mother's indifferent look and did not dare to agree yet: "Boss, I have to go back and ask my mother."

Xie Shuangbai nodded: "Okay, if you don't want to do it, tell me as soon as possible and I'll find someone else."

Wang Yun understood that this was an opportunity given to him by his boss. Nowadays, people in the village are scrambling to get the boss's job.

Xie Shuangbai asked Li Xiaoshu and the other three to go to the town to find a house today.

The people are already in place, we can't delay any further, it would be bad if production was delayed.

He instructed, "Workers at the Xiaoshu Tofu Workshop should sign long-term contracts as much as possible. For those who are involved in the secret recipe, the penalty for breach of contract will be high. This should be registered with the government office when the time comes."

He thought about it and said, "If there's anyone willing to work for you, after observing for a while and seeing if they're honest, you can let them get access to the recipe. You can handle the rest."

"I understand, Boss."

Xie Shuangbai suddenly thought of Douya again:

"How is Wang Yundouya? From now on, tell me the progress of the work at hand every three days."

Wang Yun said: "We can produce several hundred kilograms today."

Xie Shuangbai thought about it and made new arrangements: "You and Heidou will take Douya to the town to sell the bean sprouts, while Xiaoshu and Xiaoshan will go find a house. Don't forget about the carrier pigeon."

Wang Yun said, "I understand, sir. It's very inconvenient for us not to have a special donkey cart."

He really forgot about this.

Xie Shuangbai said, "Go to town today and see if there are any donkeys or mules. If the price is right, buy a few more."

Wang Yun: "Okay, then I'll ask the village chief to help me borrow it this time."

After Wang Yun left the old house, he quickly went to the village chief to talk about borrowing the donkey cart, and then hurried back home to talk to his mother about the cook.

His mother, Wang, was weaving and looked indifferent when she saw him. "Why are you back?"

"Mom, I will be in town often in the future. My boss is taking care of me and asked me to ask if you would like to work as a cook in town. The salary is 300 wen a month, including food and accommodation. I will cook for the workers in the workshop, and there will be an aunt for you to work with."

After hearing this, Wang was silent for a long time.

Wang Yun couldn't stand his mother being silent again, so he shouted:

"Mom, I really can't understand why you are dissatisfied. Now everyone in the village is scrambling to work for the boss. The boss gave me a chance, so I came back to ask you, why are you doing this?"

"Do you really dislike me and hate me? Otherwise, why do you always treat me like this? Other mothers love their sons very much, but you are the only one who is always so indifferent to me. I hate you for being like this!

I feel like I have used all my strength to make you happy, but you are still unhappy. I really don’t know what to do. I really don’t know. Mother... Tell me, tell me, what should I do..."

After Wang Yun vented his anger, he collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.

Wang only paused for a moment when he asked, "Do you hate me?" and continued weaving in silence.

Wang Yun gasped for breath, seeing that his mother ignored him completely.

He said disheartenedly, "Forget it. You always know how to hurt someone's heart. I don't know how my father can stand you!"

Wang Yun's words were very serious. He had always been filial, but this time he was really sad and disappointed.

He turned around and looked at Wang who was sitting in the room. His heart ached but he still couldn't bear it:

"Mom, I'm leaving now. I'll be very busy in the future."

After saying that, she ran out crying.

Wang stopped weaving, tears silently slid down her face, and she murmured, "Hate me."

Wang Yungang ran out and met Hei Dou who was waiting for him at the door.

Hei Dou still had no expression on his face. He looked at him with his dark eyes and said lightly: "You have me and the boss."

Wang Yun cried even harder instantly, but Hei Dou just sat beside him calmly, waiting for him to finish crying.

The chilly north wind made people's faces hurt, and the hot tears left behind turned cold in an instant. Wang Yun was so cold that he couldn't breathe.

After he calmed down after crying, he went to the old house with Hei Dou and told Xie Shuangbai about his mother's decision not to be a cook.

Xie Shuangbai was surprised, but seeing Wang Yun's eyes were red, he didn't say anything, just said that he understood.

Anyway, the house is not ready yet, so there is no need to rush to choose another cook. I will ask Aunt Cui when the time comes and ask her to help find a reliable one.

The donkey cart was quickly borrowed, and the four people went to the town. Xie Shuangbai gave them 100 taels and asked them to go to the town to buy some thicker clothes first. The weather was cold and their clothes were still very thin. It was his fault as the host.

"If you find a suitable house, one of you should come back and tell me. I'll go take a look."

Xie Shuangbai looked at Wang Yun again and said, "If you sell all your bean sprouts, go to town and see if there are any carrier pigeons."

"I understand, Boss."

Xie Shuangbai looked at the baskets of fresh bean sprouts on the donkey cart and the young yet energetic faces of the people and said, "Be careful on the road."

Wang Yun sat in the car and waved to Xie Shuangbai: "Don't worry, boss!"

After the few people walked away, Xie Shuangbai also entered the house.

The weather is getting colder, so it’s time to have sugar-roasted chestnuts.

The ingredients for sugar-roasted chestnuts are simple, just chestnuts, sand, sugar and cooking oil.

The key is who to find.

Xie Shuangbai was thinking when he heard a scream.

“Ah—Brother—”

Xie Chunmiao's scream frightened Xie Shuangbai so much that his heart started pounding.

What he feared most was that when he was thinking about something, a sound would suddenly come out and he would be really scared.

Xie Chunmiao hurried over and said, "Brother... is awake." Then he looked around and whispered, "That man!"

Xie Shuangbai didn't react at first, then quickly ran into the house.

He was so busy these past two days that he forgot about the two animals, one big and one small, that he had picked up.

He fed them spiritual spring water three times a day like an old nanny to disinfect them.

After feeding them, the two fell asleep obediently. He thought it would take a long time for them to wake up, but he didn't expect that they would... wake up today!

Xie Shuangbai ran towards the house.

He doesn't like darkness in his bedroom, so there are no curtains on the windows.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the man frowning and half leaning on the kang bed. Xie Shuangbai had made the kang bed very comfortable, with a backrest and a pillow. The man leaned against the pillow, holding his head with his hands, looking painful.

He walked over slowly, and the man felt someone approaching and suddenly looked up.

Xie Shuangbai was shocked by the man's gaze, and he couldn't help but think of the Snow Wolf King he had seen before.

The look in his eyes was so fierce that he felt like a prey that had accidentally intruded into the territory, being stared at by the leader of the alpha wolf with eyes that seemed to want to tear him to pieces in an instant.

He quickly said, "Don't be afraid, this is my home. You are hurt."

Xie Shuangbai pointed at himself again: "I saved you, do you remember?"

He soothed him with a gentle voice.

The man looked up in confusion and shook his head.

"I... don't... remember."

A deep and magnetic voice.

Xie Shuangbai thought to himself, I don’t envy this voice, really!

"Look at the kid next to you. He's with you. Do you remember him?"

The man turned around and saw the unconscious child. He excitedly wanted to touch him: "Chi'er!"

Xie Shuangbai quickly went up to support him: "You are still very weak, don't get excited, the child is fine!"
