She couldn't help shuddering as she spoke.
It's so scary.
This book is more interesting when read by others.
…
A crackling bonfire burned in the darkness.
Xu Nuo, wearing a dusty short-sleeved shirt and overalls, sat next to the foreman, eating white steamed buns and pickled mustard greens.
The dry and choking cold steamed buns and the salty and hard pickled mustard greens tasted crunchy.
Xu Nuo ate without changing his expression, as if it were some kind of delicacy.
But only Xu Nuo knew that his newly inlaid porcelain teeth might be broken by the steamed buns and pickled mustard greens.
Every time I take a bite, I feel my head buzzing.
A pot of hot drinking water was burning on the fire, emitting boiling steam.
"Tomorrow the people from the castle will come to recruit kitchen helpers. If you really want to go, just raise your hand. Since you are so sensible, I will give you some advice."
The foreman, breathing heavily while chewing a hard steamed bun, looked at Xu Nuo with a low voice. He glanced at the men around the fire chewing steamed buns and eating pickled mustard greens, shifted his hips, and then spoke: "Tomorrow they will take you to test whether you are qualified. You must pass the test.
Because I have never seen anyone come back to work after failing an assessment. They all say that after failing an assessment, they will be assigned to other positions. I don’t believe it because I saw... Forget it, I won’t talk about this.
Let's talk about the assessment first. During the assessment, don't look at the interviewer's face. Keep your head down and your feet. If they ask if you're willing to accept a job transfer, refuse. I don't know much more; it's all up to you.
Young man, I only mentioned these few words because I see that you and I get along well, so please don't tell anyone else."
Xu Nuo looked at the foreman with gratitude: "Thank you, foreman! I will definitely invite you to the wedding when we get married."
The foreman opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Looking at Xu Nuo's silly face, he silently swallowed the words he was about to say.
Love is indeed great.
The hint was so obvious, yet he still persisted.
If this isn’t true love, then what is!
At night, Xu Nuo lay in his clothes on a hard bed with only a cotton blanket that had become patinaed from being used all the time, and a thin black quilt covering his body. Deafening snoring could be heard in his ears.
He slept lightly, not daring to fall into a deep sleep.
There were faint sounds of footsteps beside my ears.
He felt as if someone was standing next to him, looking down at him.
If he opened his eyes, he would see a scene that would make his scalp tingle.
The foreman, who had eaten and laughed with him in the evening, had his neck pressed against his face like a snail, and his eyes, like snails, stretched out from their eye sockets, looking him up and down.
Xu Nuo seemed to be unaware of anything and even started talking in his sleep.
"Foreman, okay, eat candy, thank you, get married, I like it."
After he finished speaking, he smacked his lips and chuckled a few times.
The foreman, who had listened attentively, froze all over and stood there, not knowing what to think.
The sky was just getting light and the sun had not yet risen when the wooden stick hit the iron bucket with a bang.
"Get up! Get up! It's time to go to work! Everyone get up!"
Bang bang bang!
Many workers quickly got up and dressed. Xu Nuo rubbed his eyes and got up slowly. He saw that the foreman was already dressed neatly and was looking at him with a spirited look.
Xu Nuo: “…”
I really want to know how this foreman who watched me by my bedside all night can stay so energetic.
"Young man, how did you sleep last night?" The foreman patted Xu Nuo's shoulder earnestly and asked him tentatively.
Xu Nuo scratched his head, his face turning red like a big apple. "It's, it's okay. I just had a nice dream."
"What kind of dream?" the foreman asked teasingly, knowing the answer.
Xu Nuo was as shy as a young boy when he heard this: "I married my childhood sweetheart. I treated you to wine and candy. We also had a big fat boy and bought a big house with the money we earned."
The foreman didn't know what he had heard, and a hint of loneliness and regret flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it well: "Really? The older generation said that dreams can predict the future. It seems that good days are still ahead of you."
Xu Nuo's face turned even redder when he heard this, as if it was about to boil: "Well, then I'll take advantage of the foreman's good words."
"Let's go, let's go to work."
"Um!"
…
After Yili was found, she was scolded by the men. After a burst of her acting skills, she successfully fooled these people and solidified her increasingly unruly, willful, vicious and terrifying personality.
Just as she was lying comfortably on her big bed with a goose down quilt and playing the pipa with Zhou Gong, a voice rang in her ears.
"Yili, if you don't get up, your gold bars will be stolen."
Yili quickly opened his eyes and replied subconsciously: "You little thief! Put down your aunt's gold bars!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jin Qing standing beside her bed wearing Lucy's skin, looking at her with interest in his eyes.
Yi Li: "..."
Damn your legs.
I was intimidated by this guy.
"I asked you to push me just now but I couldn't wake you up. I didn't expect you to care about this the most."
Yi Li's mouth twitched when he heard this: "Is there a possibility that I am not a person who protects others and cannot tolerate my gold bars being wronged in other people's pockets?"
"Yeah?"
Jin Qing turned around and sat on the chair next to him: "Okay, enough nonsense, it's time for you to get up. Do you know why I called you up?"
"I don't know. Don't waste time. Just say what you want to say."
"We should look for clues. You've already found several useful clues in the time you spend sleeping, Miss Yili. You're the first person I've seen who can sleep so soundly in a game."
Yi Li didn't know whether Jin Qing in front of him was praising him or criticizing him.
As she got up, she retorted, "Is there a possibility that my sleep won't delay my completion of the game? As the saying goes, a day's plan begins with sleep. Without sleep, nothing can be done. With good sleep, time can be more effective."
Jin Qing laughed when he heard this: "The anonymous author of "Zeng Guang Xian Wen" didn't even know when he had this sentence."
"...You're quite humorous. Is it possible that I adapted one of these ideas myself? According to science, sleep is the most important thing for humans. If you don't get enough sleep, your daily productivity will be reduced. I've spent over a decade proving this. Do you know what it is?"
"What is it?"
“The sky is big, the earth is big, but sleeping is the biggest.”
Yi Li put on his shoes and looked at Jin Qing who was sitting in his seat: "Let's go, aren't you going to look for clues?"
"I suddenly feel that what you said makes a lot of sense. Do you need to catch up on some sleep?"
After Jin Qing said this, Yili felt that his fist had won.
"Are you kidding me?"
"No, no, no, I just think you convinced me."
