Chapter 82: Fainted from fear and passed the test
"Fiancé?" Huo Tianhe's voice rose unconsciously, and his tone was filled with surprise that could not be concealed.
He glanced at Zhou Yuesheng and asked in a low voice: "Was it arranged by her family?"
Zhang Haizhu was cleaning up the small pot and chopsticks on the table. He paused and looked at him warily.
Huo Tianhe was one of the first people to finish eating. His friends had already left, and he was the only one still here.
"I really don't mean anything else. I'm just curious. She doesn't look very old." Huo Tianhe touched his nose and raised three fingers as if swearing.
Zhang Haizhu nodded and continued to clean the table.
A few seconds later, she added: "They have a very good relationship, very good."
Huo Tianhe didn't say anything else. He couldn't help but look at the stove again. He happened to see Zhou Yuesheng bringing ice lemon water to Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin.
Yu Zhile had no time to make a move, so he put it directly to her lips and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her face.
Then, Zhou Yuesheng said something and Yu Zhile's eyes lit up.
Seeing this scene, Huo Tian and his heart, which had been in love for less than a week, were broken.
He was yelling at the air, and finally decided to turn his anger into appetite, and ordered another bowl of Family Rice Noodles and two glasses of lemonade.
In front of the stove, Zhou Yuesheng caught a glimpse of Huo Tianhe's actions and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"The training session will end the day after tomorrow at noon. We will pick you up at the state-owned hotel and then go to the provincial capital." He continued.
Two hours ago, he learned from Ning Tan that Grandma Chen Zhao had arrived in the provincial capital yesterday, and he immediately arranged a plan to pick her up.
The day after tomorrow is the day when Yu Zhile goes to the state-owned restaurant to teach Hu Laosan how to cook. The timing is perfect.
"Okay." Yu Zhile said with a smile.
Afterwards, Zhou Yuesheng returned to the wooden box and continued to make ice lemonade.
The sun gradually climbed overhead, the lunch rush hour passed, and there were fewer and fewer people in the market.
Some stalls began to pack up and prepare to leave.
The lemonade was sold out, but there were still ice cubes left. Everyone in the sideline group chewed the ice cubes to quench their thirst.
The fame of the sideline group is growing, and the intensity of work is increasing.
Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin discussed it and decided to only serve breakfast and lunch in the future, so they planned to pack up and return to the village after resting.
The break time is a good opportunity to hold a summary meeting while the iron is hot.
Yu Zhile asked everyone to summarize their work one by one.
"The two factories I visited placed orders for a total of 70 bowls," Zhang Haimei said excitedly.
Upon learning that Haiyu Village was selling iced lemonade, some people placed orders on the spur of the moment. The three people in charge of delivery ran back and forth several times, their faces all rosy from the sun.
Ge Xiaoju was also very excited and said, "I also have 30 bowls in my room."
It was the first time in her life that she had seen so much money. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she was afraid that the money would be lost on the way back.
Ge Tai is in charge of a larger area and has more reservations than the two of them combined.
"Two hundred and thirteen delivery orders, one hundred cups of lemonade." Yu Zhile wrote and drew on the notebook to record the data.
Additional staff and kitchen utensils will be needed next week.
"How about ordering another 150 small pots and adding two stoves?" She looked at Zhang Wenxin and Ge Tai and asked for their opinions.
I placed an order for fifty small clay pots after setting up my stall last time, and this time they are barely enough.
"I'll listen to you." Zhang Wenxin and the other person had the same attitude.
Yu Zhile immediately took money out of the cash box and gave it to Brother Tao as a deposit.
Brother Tao received another big order. He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, and generously gave them two half-person-high kimchi jars.
Xu Yu looked at their happy scene and felt angry.
The same goes for Jafar. He put all his remaining belongings into this stall, but he never expected to end up like this.
At this time, Xiao Li silently brought two bowls of noodles covered with braised short ribs.
The two of them tried hard to stuff the food into their mouths, but they couldn't feel happy. It was as uncomfortable as chewing wax.
"Sister, Haizhu, I passed the test!"
"I passed it, too. Brother Hu San asked us to start work tomorrow."
Zhang Hailan and Yu Mengjun happily ran into the market to announce the good news.
Everyone was happy for them and congratulated them.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Li stared at the two of them intently, with a somewhat creepy look in his eyes.
Zhou Yuesheng noticed this and frowned slightly.
After resting for another half an hour, everyone began to dismantle the tent cloths and put away the tables, and set off to return to the village.
Physical fatigue did not affect the brain's excitement. The group walked and hummed Sheng Lanyue's songs, all kinds of tunes.
After humming for a while, everyone couldn't help laughing and stopped to talk about other things.
"It's windy and cool, I'm so happy." Zhang Wenxin opened his arms to feel the cool breeze blowing towards him.
Yu Zhile smelled the scent of sunshine and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
However, the harmonious atmosphere did not last long, as they met Old Lady Yu and her family at the entrance of the village.
"I told you not to do this kind of thankless job." Yu Haiyao looked at the resentful face and said unhappily.
He had lived for more than thirty years and had never been so embarrassed.
Wu Caixia carried Yu Fu on her back and moved to the side unnoticeably to avoid any bad luck.
The Wu family has been a single-line family for nine generations. Old Mrs. Yu’s younger brother gave birth to a son, Wu Jiabao, when he was forty. The whole family held him in their hands for fear of dropping him, and held him in their mouths for fear of melting him.
Everyone doted on him and turned him into a smooth-talking idiot.
But stupid people have their own luck. Wu Jiabao did not inherit his parents' good looks, but had a good appearance. When he went out on the street, he was noticed by the daughter of the newly appointed director of the supply and marketing cooperative. They started talking about marriage after only knowing each other for two months.
Old Mrs. Yu immediately packed her bags and returned to the Wu family with her family, where she spent half a month busying herself with the wedding preparations, contributing both money and effort.
Unexpectedly, the new daughter-in-law had an extremely aggressive personality. On the second day after she entered the house, she took control of the power of the old Wu family and drove out the old lady Yu and others who had not had time to establish a relationship with her as poor relatives.
"Isn't this for you two, brother and sister?" Old Mrs. Yu stammered a few words, and then fell silent.
In fact, Yu Haiyao also agreed to this matter. He thought that his unruly uncle and aunt could control the newlywed wife, and he wanted to gain benefits from this.
Yu Taohong stood aside, her face becoming increasingly gloomy, and Yu Fu was so scared that he trembled.
The news that Zhang Zhenhua was an enemy spy was made public, and she, who had entered the supply and marketing cooperative through his influence and was his spouse, was fired.
The money she had saved through years of frugality was confiscated by the armed forces, causing her personality to become even more gloomy.
"Stop dawdling. I still have half a month's worth of accounts to settle." Yu Haiyao said impatiently.
Speaking of the village accounts, he had a headache again.
Before that, he insisted on taking a half-month leave, and the position of accountant was temporarily taken over by the captain's daughter. He was afraid that the young and inexperienced girl would make a mess and ask him to clean up the mess.
"Oh, our sideline group is back. I hope our business won't be snatched away by others." Old Mrs. Yu was in a bad mood. When she saw Yu Zhile and the others, she wanted to catch them and vent her anger.
Her parents' home is in Taohua Village, and their house is next to the Youth League Institute. These days, she has heard a lot about Xu Yu's plan to seize the business of Haiyu Village.
She also heard about Xu Yu's affair with the daughter of the director of the popsicle factory, and knew that the girl recommended him to be an apprentice at a state-owned restaurant. She also knew that the apprentice secretly learned Yu Zhile's seafood rice noodles.
She was so eager to see Yu Zhile embarrass herself that she never thought of sending a message to the villagers. She let Xu Yu and others discuss how to steal Yu Zhile's business every day.
"Didn't you go to help with the wedding? Why were you sent back home the next day?" Yu Zhile responded calmly, "Could it be that someone is making trouble for the bride because they are disrespectful to the elderly?"
While setting up the stall, she heard people in Taohua Village gossiping. They said that the new bride was angry because the groom's cousin brought people to make trouble in the bridal chamber yesterday, and the neighbors heard the quarrel in the middle of the night.
When the gossipmongers mentioned Haiyu Village, she knew that the cousin was Yu Haiyao.
Her words made Old Lady Yu and her son so angry that they forgot about Yu Zhile's previous deeds.
Old Mrs. Yu's sanity was instantly devoured, and Yu Haiyao was stopped in his tracks when Wu Caixia grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"What are you yelling about, you little brat? I'm going to tear your mouth apart." Old Mrs. Yu strode towards Yu Zhile angrily, with her big hand raised in the air, ready to strike.
A figure flashed by and blocked her way.
When Old Mrs. Yu looked up, she stood there in a daze.
"Yu, Yu Haiguang, you, you." Yu Haiyao stammered a few words and was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Yu Haiguang's sharp eyes swept in his direction, scaring Yu Fu so much that he burst into tears and wet his pants.
"You, are you a human, or a ghost?" Old Mrs. Yu took a few steps back.
Yu Haiguang walked towards her step by step and asked, "Is it because I send you dozens of dollars every month that you treat my daughter like this?"
He had a gloomy face, like a ghost from hell claiming lives, and scared Old Lady Yu so much that she collapsed on the ground.
Old Mrs. Yu felt her hands and feet were tied up, and she turned around and shouted, "Ah, Ayao, Tao, Taohong, come, come and save me, save me, I don't want to go to hell."
Yu Taohong just stared gloomily at everything that happened, motionless.
Yu Haiyao kept swallowing his saliva and never thought of taking a step forward.
"Hehe." Yu Haiguang sneered a few times, and his shadow completely covered the old lady Yu.
Old Mrs. Yu opened her eyes wide in horror, her eyelids drooped and she fainted.
Yu Haiguang sneered, walked up to Yu Haiyao, grabbed his collar, and punched him in the center of the nose.
Blood spurted out along with Wu Caixia's scream.
"This punch is just the beginning." Yu Haiguang threw him to the ground like a rag.
Yu Haiyao felt as if the whole world was spinning.
"Uncle, you are so handsome." Zhang Wenxin looked at Yu Haiguang approaching with eyes full of admiration.
Yu Zhile's eyes were also sparkling and smiling.
Seeing this, Yu Haiguang laughed and said, "Let's all go back and have a rest."
Back in the courtyard, Chen Zhao was lying in a rocking chair with a wet white cloth covering his forehead.
Yu Chi and Pa Pa stayed by his side and fanned him.
According to Doctor Jiang, he had the symptoms of heat stroke and needed to rest for two days.
However, upon learning that his grandmother had arrived in the provincial capital, Chen Zhao jumped up and began to give instructions in a daze.
"Xiaobao should wear red clothes."
"I want to wear yellow clothes."
"I want to wear—"
Before he could finish, he fell down limply.
