Chapter 27 Big Heart
Spicy crayfish, spicy snails, spicy crabs, etc., these snacks that people love and hate are all available at Xia’s Snack Shop in Mingyuan Town.
This also makes Xia Fu and Xia Feng feel both in love and helpless.
Love makes money.
Helpless, too tired.
No matter how many people are hired, they have to stay in the store and cannot be left alone.
Braised meats are not as popular as these.
However, most people who come to eat will order a small plate of braised meat.
Now that Xia Yutong and Rongrong have grown up, the Xia family has hired a cook.
As Xia's father said, no matter who else suffers, your own family must not suffer.
In addition, Xia's mother has been neither good nor bad in recent years and can't do anything.
It would be great to hire a cook so that Xiaotong doesn't have to work so hard.
"Aunt Mao, the meal is ready, you can go back first." Xia Yutong heard Aunt Mao calling her, got up from under the shelf, walked into the kitchen, and saw that she had prepared the meal.
"Okay, then I'll go first." Aunt Mao is their neighbor.
Our family's conditions were not good, and we usually just changed clothes for the wealthy families.
When she heard that the Xia family wanted to hire someone to cook, she went straight to the door with a few eggs.
This meal has been cooked for two years. I can’t say the taste is particularly good, but it’s acceptable.
Everything the Xia family uses is pretty good.
"Well, Aunt Mao, take care." Xia Yutong looked at the things in the kitchen, frowned and said.
She understands that clear water has no fish.
But if you don't do things cleanly, then...
After Aunt Mao took her things and left, Xia Yutong sighed.
"A little bit of rice is a favor, a peck of rice is a grudge. We have to talk about this when Dad comes back." Aunt Mao, you can't keep me here.
It's true that their family is kind-hearted, but one can't be too greedy.
At the beginning, Aunt Mao did a really good job and took good care of everything. She was also very patient with Xia's mother.
He did his work neatly and efficiently, but after a while, seeing that the owner was easy to talk to, he started to have evil thoughts.
Xia Yutong knew exactly how many good things she had brought back from home in the past six months.
But I felt sorry for her, so I endured it.
But she actually turned her attention to her mother's medicine, so this person can't be kept.
Because of her health, Xia's mother usually takes good medicine and soup to nourish herself.
Why is Xia Yutong so angry?
Because when she came to the kitchen just now, she found that the Gastrodia elata she had prepared for Xia's mother was gone.
It’s not that Gastrodia elata is expensive, but that she is becoming more and more unrestrained and taking things more and more recklessly.
That's why she said Aunt Mao couldn't stay.
Gastrodia elata can be used as both medicine and food. The prescriptions she prescribed for Xia's mother were all for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and Gastrodia elata was just something that could nourish the body.
It wouldn't be a big deal if there was less, but what Aunt Mao did made people unhappy.
After dinner, everyone washed up and Xia's father came back.
As soon as Father Xia came back, he went into the house to see Mother Xia. Over the years, even though he became richer day by day, he felt more and more guilty towards Mother Xia, and he deeply regretted it.
He wanted to wake her up.
Xia Yutong might be able to see some of Xia's father's thoughts, but she didn't want to expose these things, so she had to wait for her father to speak up himself.
After seeing Xia's mother, Xia Yutong pulled her father out of the house.
"Dad, let's talk about Aunt Mao." Her father was not stupid, and he knew everything about the family.
He saw everything about Aunt Mao, but since she was more attentive, and he didn't want to hire someone else to help him get along, he just endured it.
After hearing his daughter's words, Father Xia slammed the table in anger and stood up, "You can't keep her here. So, pay Aunt Mao her wages tomorrow and tell her not to come here again."
You can pity others, but you cannot treat your own family members unfairly.
Father Xia has been through a lot over the years, and his aura has become more powerful.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Dad." Xia Yutong originally wanted to inform him, but she didn't expect him to get so angry.
"Forget it." Father Xia shook his head: "You shouldn't be involved in this matter. How about this, Dad won't go to the store tomorrow."
He has to do this kind of thing.
Children are easily bullied.
Fortunately, Xia Yutong didn't know what her father was thinking, but since he was willing to come forward, she was too lazy to listen to Aunt Mao's nonsense.
After a good night's sleep, Aunt Mao came to Xia's house early the next morning to make breakfast.
When she saw Xia Feng at home, she felt a little nervous, but soon she greeted him with a smile.
"Boss Xia didn't go to the store today." He asked casually without stopping the work in his hands.
Xia Feng watched her feeding his wife and nodded amiably. "The store isn't busy today."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite good.
It was rare for Xia Feng to praise Aunt Mao.
After dinner, Xia Yutong took her sister and mother into the house. In the hall, Xia Feng was sitting there drinking tea.
After Aunt Mao had almost finished cleaning up, Xia Feng called her.
"Aunt Mao, you've been working here for a few years now."
Aunt Mao's heart tightened, and her mind was in turmoil. "Yes, it's been more than two years."
"After more than two years, it seems that Aunt Mao also understands what kind of person I am. I wonder if Aunt Mao has anything to say to me?" Xia Feng said pretentiously.
Aunt Mao is not stupid. If the master pays more attention, he will surely find out what she did.
At first she would only bring back some leftovers, but after a while, when she found that the host family did not ask much questions, she began to grow bolder.
From vegetables to household grains, oil, meat and so on.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Aunt Mao's family now lives a well-off life, but she knows better than anyone where this kind of life comes from.
If the boss doesn't want her, then her life at home will be...
Aunt Mao didn't dare to hold on to any luck anymore, so she knelt down and said, "Boss Xia, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time." After kneeling down, Aunt Mao burst into tears.
What kind of person is Xia Feng? His heart is no longer the same as it used to be.
"Since you understand everything, Aunt Mao, then just collect your wages and leave." Xia Feng is not the kind of boss who would owe others anything, and he will not give less than what is due.
He didn't want the things Aunt Mao took away.
He took out some rough copper coins and threw them on the tea table. From the sound, he knew there were quite a few in there.
Aunt Mao still wanted to plead, but when she looked up at the copper coin bag, she saw Boss Xia's expression and didn't dare to say anything more.
She could only stand up from the ground and say, "Boss Xia, I'm sorry." She still had a sense of shame.
But she couldn't resist the temptation.
Looking at Aunt Mao's hunched back, he sighed and didn't stay.
After hearing the door close, Xia Yutong walked out of the house, holding her little sister's hand.
"Rongrong, you can be envious, but you can't take things that don't belong to you."
Rongrong looked at her elder sister, not quite understanding. Thinking of what her elder sister had taught her, she nodded and said, "I understand, elder sister."
