Chu En asked the aunts, "Why don't you find something else to do?"
"Alas, apart from doing some planting tasks, what other work can we old bones do?"
"That's right, there are robots everywhere here, and even the sanitation is done by the base's people. It's impossible to just sweep the floor and earn points like in other bases."
This is the negative effect of technology.
"The young people are all out fighting zombies. At our age, we don't even dare to go out. We have old arms and legs, so how can we fight?"
"Forget fighting. You can't even run away when you see a zombie."
"If we could go fight zombies, we would have gone long ago. But even if we're not in good health, we don't dare to cause trouble for our children and grandchildren."
Chu En thought about it and asked indirectly, "Then you haven't organized any activities?"
She remembers how the older residents downstairs used to love organizing activities when they had nothing to do. But there used to be more activities. There were things like which pharmacy was offering free Chinese medicine massages, which supermarket was offering free eggs, and so on. There was always something new to do every day.
Aunt Wang continued Chu En's words and said, "Why is there no organization? We have one."
"We originally thought that young people in the apocalypse wouldn't have time for romance, so we wanted to matchmake those of marriageable age. Now, they don't care about RVs or showing off their savings; as long as they're attracted to each other, that's all that matters."
"Then why didn't it succeed?" Chu En knew that blind dates used to focus on academic qualifications and family background, but since these are no longer considered, why didn't it succeed?
"Alas, they are very resistant, saying that they have no tomorrow and don't want to find a partner."
"They're being selfish! No matter what, they need to have children before they can go out and fight zombies. Besides, our medical care is good, so there's no need to worry about having children."
"Those young people just don't know how to appreciate kindness. They accused us of meddling when we were matchmaking for them."
Aunt Wang and Aunt Li were talking one after another, which made Chu En feel overwhelmed.
Seeing that the topic was about to get out of control, Chu En quickly brought the topic back to himself.
"Young people are under so much pressure nowadays. Although rent is not expensive, if there are elderly and young people in the family, the daily expenses will be quite high."
"But speaking of which, Aunt Wang, I saw you brought a big bucket of water. This water cup is really nice. Did you buy it at our B&B?"
"You have good taste, little girl. I bought this at the home furnishing mall. I drink a lot of water now that I'm old, so it's much more convenient to carry this with me than bottled water."
Aunt Wang was indeed carried away by Chu En's new topic and even recommended it to others.
"I suggest you all buy one. Look, I carry one with me and can even carry it on my back. How convenient."
Chu En interrupted with a wry smile: "Auntie, you only drink water? Why don't you drink some tea or something?"
Aunt Wang waved her hand: "I want to drink tea, but the furniture store doesn't sell it."
At this time, the news of the teahouse's opening had not yet spread. Xie Purou originally wanted to wait until there was a performance on the second floor of the teahouse before announcing it. The aunties didn't know that a teahouse had just opened yesterday.
Aunt Wang changed into a comfortable position and continued, "Speaking of drinking tea, my husband used to love drinking tea. He loved it before he retired, and after retirement, he was free from constraints and became even more crazy about it."
"Your husband loves to drink tea? I've never seen him come downstairs. He stays at home all day and never walks around. He doesn't seem like he'd be crazy."
The aunt who was dancing square dance with us took out a bag of melon seeds and gave some to everyone.
"Tell me quickly."
Chu En also got a small handful of melon seeds, which he accepted with a smile. He listened from the side, hoping that Aunt Wang would speak quickly.
Aunt Wang didn't want to talk about it anymore. She waved her hand and said, "What's there to mention about my husband? He's just an old man. It's better not to mention him."
Chu En was anxious and was about to persuade them, but the aunties beside him also tried to persuade them.
"No, come on, tell me."
"We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so just tell us."
"Sister Wang, this is so dishonest of you. We've told you everything about our family background, but you won't even tell us how crazy your boss is."
Aunt Wang hesitated a bit. "It's boring. Do you really want to listen?"
"I really want to hear it, I really want to hear it."
Chu En nodded wildly beside him.
"Okay, then I'll tell you about him."
Aunt Wang really started talking.
"After my old man retired, he was like a horse that had broken free from its reins. He was free from restraints and flew all day long to various places to taste tea at tasting events. Imagine a man in his sixties still catching planes to attend tea tastings like a young man. How crazy is that?"
"He wanted me to go with him, but I refused. I can't stand flying every day."
Aunt Li: "Your family was quite well off before, huh? A normal family wouldn't be able to fly to build a house every day."
Aunt Wang: "What's so good about it? At first he went there on his own with his retirement pension, and then somehow he became a bit famous, and later on the organizers kept inviting him to go."
"I don't understand the twists and turns of these tea parties. Later, during the holidays, people would come over to our house with gifts and say they would visit my old man. I overheard them praising him for his deep knowledge of tea culture." Aunt Wang crossed her legs and said, "Tell me, why can't he study something else? Studying this can't make a living."
"Your husband is the best. What your boss learned is still quite useful now. People who make a living by their skills will never starve. We just have to wait and see when the owner can open up his business as an individual. Then your family will definitely make a lot of money."
Aunt Wang speaks nicely, making people feel comfortable from the inside out. She even takes care of Aunt Li's vanity.
Aunt Li was secretly happy to hear this, but others were unhappy.
"Tsk, that's all. I thought it was some crazy thing."
"What do you think it is?"
"I thought it was something like that."
"Hahaha, I thought it was that kind of crazy too. I got so excited for nothing."
"You're really something. Everyone is busy. If it's not pornographic, please don't spread it."
"Have you all rested enough? Let's get up and continue rehearsing."
Chu En's eyes lit up as he listened. Sure enough, they had found the right person. They had found a suitable candidate for the director right away.
When he heard that they were going to continue rehearsing, he became anxious and stood in front of Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Wang, I'm the owner's new assistant. He asked me to recruit a manager for the newly opened teahouse in our B&B. I just heard you talk about your boss, and it seems like a good fit. Does anyone on your side want to find me for a job?"
"This position won't be very busy. The owner also wants our tea culture to continue to be passed down. If your spouse is also interested, we can still discuss it."
