"Didn't the neighbors say in their idle chats before that during the Chinese New Year this year, someone was found kidnapping children and killing several of them.
"So the imperial court launched a massive investigation, arrested more than a dozen people, and publicly beheaded them at Caishikou.
“So the security in the capital is much better now than last year.
“If nothing else, those who kidnapped children have almost disappeared.
"After all, even if you can make money, you have to be alive to spend it!"
It was because he heard this from his neighbor that Guo Shijie dared to let his two children go out to help him find jobs writing letters and copying books.
Otherwise, this place is unfamiliar and full of mixed people, and he, as a father, would not be so generous.
"Then..." Old Mrs. Guo still felt something was wrong.
Guo Shijie found that his progress in copying books had been seriously disrupted, and he was unwilling to continue chatting with her, saying: "Mom, you just like to have wild thoughts. Maybe the job they found is to help the Cen family take care of the children?
"Think about it, for a family that has to pay someone to feed their chickens and ducks, wouldn't it be normal for them to pay a few more people to look after their children?"
Although Mrs. Guo still felt something was wrong, she thought her son's words were correct.
At this moment, she finally realized that her nagging was really affecting her son's copying.
"Just go do your thing. I'll finish my laundry and go buy some groceries. We'll have cabbage and tofu stew for lunch. If you can find some cheap potatoes, throw them in too."
Mrs. Guo said this and turned to leave.
At this time, Qingtian, who had just woken up from a nap in the dumpling restaurant, sneezed three times in a row before his eyes were fully opened.
This scared Boss Ye, and he thought, could it be that he was really sick because of Master Cen?
Qingtian's health has been poor to begin with, and now he has to take pills every day to recuperate!
Although he was not there when he had a fever last time, I heard that it was very serious.
What if I fall ill?
Boss Ye was anxious and pushed Qingtian, who had just crawled out of the quilt, back into bed.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Qingtian looked at him in confusion.
"Don't come out yet." Boss Ye said as he reached out and touched her forehead. He then touched his own forehead to compare it. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever yet. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"No!" Qingtian tilted his head, "Dad, are you not feeling well?"
"Then why were you sneezing just now?" Boss Ye was a little overwhelmed, and told Qingtian not to get out of bed. He quickly ran to the kitchen to find Mrs. Ye.
On the second day of opening, business was indeed not as booming as yesterday, but even though it wasn't dinner time yet, there were already several tables occupied in the restaurant.
One of the kitchen helpers hired by Mr. Cen arrived early today. Mrs. Ye was taking her to the kitchen to familiarize herself with the situation when she saw Boss Ye running in with an anxious look on his face.
"Wife, go check on our daughter right away. She just sneezed several times. Could she have caught a cold?"
"No way?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye stuffed the half-wrapped dumplings in her hand into the kitchen helper's hand. Without even taking off her apron, she hurriedly followed Boss Ye to see the sunny day.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye quickly took the half-finished dumpling and sealed it in a few seconds. She smiled and said to the confused kitchen helper, "Sister Yuelian, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you.
"My eldest brother and his wife only have one daughter, and they treat her like the apple of their eye.
"You'll understand after you've been in the store for a while."
Yue Lian couldn't help but feel worried when she heard this. Could it be that she had spoiled someone into becoming a troublemaker?
However, she would naturally not show these thoughts on the surface.
When Mrs. Ye entered the room, Qingtian had already crawled out of the bed and had almost put on her clothes. She was struggling with her belt and couldn't tie it properly no matter how hard she tried.
"Come here, let me tie it for you." Mrs. Ye walked to the bedside, called Qingtian over, reached out to tie the belt for her, and then fastened the buttons on her top one by one.
"Qingtian, are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Mrs. Ye asked with concern after helping her put on her clothes.
"Mom, really not." Qingtian shook his head repeatedly and jumped twice on the bed.
She just slept too late last night, and after making up for her sleep in the morning, she is now in high spirits.
"Really?" Mrs. Ye reached out and touched her clothes, then said, "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell mother immediately, understand?"
Boss Ye was still worried and said, "Will it be too late if you start to feel uncomfortable?
"How about this, I'll take her to Doctor Lin's clinic to check her pulse and see if she needs any medicine..."
When Qingtian heard this, he immediately rushed over and covered Boss Ye's mouth: "Dad, I don't want to drink the bitter medicine soup!"
