"Huh~ Boss, this woman is so alert. If I didn't know that no one outside could see me from inside, I would have thought I was discovered by her." Er Mazi glared and patted his chest.
"Everyone who comes here is not vigilant, otherwise they would have been caught countless times."
Boss Hu sat back on the kang, reached out to take a piece of egg cake, put it in his mouth and took a small bite.
"Boss, what's going on?" Ermazi swallowed.
Seeing his brother's useless look, Boss Hu laughed and scolded, "You'll know if you eat one."
"Wait, you can only eat one! I'll take the rest back for your sister-in-law and the baby."
....
As soon as Song Guoliang came out, he met a pair of surprisingly bright black eyes and curled his lips, "Look, is this the case?"
"That's it, how come you are so awesome!" Du Xiaoying nodded happily, pulling the man's arm and jumping and dancing happily, and then she heard a strange giggling sound.
When he turned around, he saw several grinning heads at the door. He was stunned for a moment and looked at the man next to him.
Song Guoliang glared at his brothers and moved sideways to block his wife. "Don't pay attention to them. They are just idle."
Du Xiaoying couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Well, go slowly on the road."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Where can we find such a big wife-waiting stone in our unit?"
"Ha ha..."
Song Guoliang glanced at his colleagues who were crowded at the door and laughing loudly, and ignored the group of people, otherwise they would have become more and more excited.
.....
Time flies, and it's evening in the blink of an eye.
Song Guoliang rushed home in the dark. When he came in, he saw his wife and daughter sitting cross-legged on the kang counting money. From the elder to the younger, they all looked greedy for money.
"It's so windy outside and so cold. Come up and warm up."
"Dad~ So much money~"
Song Guoliang held Si Ya and Wu Ya in his arms and smiled as he watched his wives counting money and keeping accounts seriously.
Du Xiaoying put away the money in stacks and told her daughters to go read and study. Then she whispered to the man.
"I calculated today that the cost of one pound of cake, excluding eggs, sugar and flour, is about 70 cents. One pound can make about two lunch boxes, which is eight cakes. At one yuan and fifty cents, one pound is four yuan, and the net profit is three yuan and thirty cents.
Of course, this doesn't include labor costs. If I can sell five kilograms of cakes a day, that's 15 yuan a day, and 750 yuan a month."
Song Guoliang gasped, "One month's salary is more than my annual salary."
"That's what I expected, but the amount of eggs and sugar we use is huge, so if we buy them on the black market, the profit will be reduced by almost half."
Du Xiaoying pressed her lips and said, "But it's pretty good, just a little hard."
Song Guoliang frowned, his eyes full of worry, "You're too tired to do it alone, why don't you wait for me to come back from get off work?"
"It's okay. The kids can help out after school." Du Xiaoying shook her head. "Besides, the thought of earning so much money gives me so much motivation and energy."
Song Guoliang sighed, said nothing more, got up and went to the main room to cook.
The villagers do not have to work during the winter, and most families eat two meals of porridge a day to save food for work after spring planting.
The Song family is one of the few families in the village that eats three meals a day because of Song Guoliang's work and their current good conditions.
Du Xiaoying accompanied several children in the house to read books and newspapers. Seeing the children concentrating on the books seriously, she felt indescribable in her heart.
In the previous life, if it weren't for her blind mother, the children wouldn't have ended up in such a situation. Of her five daughters, only Si Ya survived, and because of that, she never had any contact with her until she died.
"Mom, did Wuya count correctly?"
Meeting the little guy's sparkling eyes, her heart almost melted, and she praised him without hesitation.
....
Nightfall
After a tiring day, Du Xiaoying fell asleep in a daze after touching the pillow.
Song Guoliang locked the door, sighed, and gently helped tuck in the quilt.
The whistling sound of the wind outside the window and the heavy breathing in my ears intertwined, and I gradually fell asleep.
In the dream, his wife and daughter looked at him with smiles on their faces without saying a word. He smiled and walked over quickly with his arms open.
Suddenly, the wife and daughter in front of him disappeared without a trace!
Song Guoliang was suddenly awakened. He used the flashlight to see that it was already past five o'clock. Looking at his wife and daughter sleeping soundly side by side on the kang, his heart sank.
"Wife, wake up."
"Hmm~"
Du Xiaoying woke up in a daze, put on her clothes quickly with half-closed eyes, packed up quickly, and went out in the dark with the man.
A cold wind blew, and the confused people woke up instantly.
A beam of dim light moved along with the moving bicycle.
As usual that day, Du Xiaoying brought some soft and fragrant egg cakes, which were sold out in a very short time.
Thinking that the eggs and flour at home were almost gone, I bought a lot more.
"Your egg cake business is really good every day. You must be making a lot of money, right?" said the man selling flour enviously.
Du Xiaoying waved her hands, looking helpless. "Don't look at the high price of my egg cakes. But the total cost is not cheap. The eggs, flour, and sugar are not cheap. I just earn a little hard-earned money."
"That's right. Nothing is easy." The man nodded and sighed. "If it weren't for supporting a family, who would be willing to take the risk and come here?"
Du Xiaoying nodded in agreement, "That's right."
....
Seeing the man who suddenly appeared and blocked the door, her eyelids twitched and she stared at him warily, "What do you want to do?"
The man grinned, "Don't be afraid, comrade. Our boss wants to talk to you."
"You are the one who bought the cake the day before yesterday!" Du Xiaoying recognized the man then and thought to herself, you suddenly stand in front of her and smile so creepily, it would be strange if anyone is not scared.
Ermazi made a gesture of invitation.
It was obvious that this situation had to be avoided. Du Xiaoying let out a long sigh, followed the man around, and frowned as she looked at the dark room.
"Don't worry, someone is watching your things." As Ermazi finished speaking, a young man came out.
Du Xiaoying let out a long sigh and looked around the house carefully, noticing its simple furnishings. Then she saw a middle-aged man in his thirties with ordinary looks and a thin build.
"Boss, people are coming."
Boss Hu smiled and walked out from the inner room. "Hello, comrade. I'm the person in charge here. You guys call me Boss Hu."
Boss Hu?
Du Xiaoying took a deep breath. She had heard of this man in her previous life. She heard that he made his fortune in the black market and had powerful connections, not only in the county but also in the city.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Boss Hu, I'm just an ordinary peasant woman. I don't know anything else. What do you want from me?"
