036: Speak of the devil
The couple stayed hungry until two o'clock, when Yu Xiaoye finally came back with a lunch box.
When the lunch box was opened, two large boxes were found filled with tuna stewed with carrots and potatoes, emitting a fragrant aroma.
These are the only ingredients, so I don’t care about the recipe or cooking skills. Just cook them together and don’t get food poisoning.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaoye had some talent for cooking. He put these three things together, added onions, ginger and garlic, added some Hawaiian-style seasonings, and poured some rum. The final taste was actually not bad.
Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying, a married couple, each held a lunch box and wolfed down the food, too busy to talk.
He devoured the food in no time, finishing all the fish, meat, potatoes and carrots, and almost licked the lunch box.
This was the most decent meal they had had since they arrived here.
Yu Jiahui put down his lunch box with satisfaction, drank some water, wiped his mouth, regained his strength, and his brain started working again.
He used his eyes to call his wife and daughter to him and whispered:
"Now that we've eaten and drunk enough, we need to plan our next move."
"Action?" Xu Ying was puzzled. "With your character, how do you want to act?"
Yu Jiahui had gradually gotten used to Xu Ying's aggressive tone and was no longer surprised. He didn't take it seriously and continued, "
"What I mean is, why don't we just get discharged? Ever since I was admitted yesterday, the doctor hasn't given me any medicine or injections, just letting me recuperate like this. It doesn't matter where I recuperate, I might as well go to a quieter place. This ward is so smoky and smelly that it's making me sick even if I'm not sick at all."
As he spoke, Yu Jiahui winked at Yu Xiaoye and Xu Ying respectively.
The implication is that our family's situation is different now and we are rich now.
It's not just ordinary extravagance, it's extremely extravagance!
Not only does he have ocean space for fishing, but he also has a luxury yacht that people can live in.
Staying in the ward, it is very inconvenient to do anything. I have to speak in a low voice for fear of being overheard by others.
It would be better to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, move into a yacht, do whatever you want, and don’t have to hide anything for fear of suspicion. How free!
Of course Xu Ying wanted to leave the hospital right now. She was the one in the family who couldn't stand the hospital ward the most. But she had learned to face reality and couldn't help but say:
"Now that you're discharged from the hospital, where can you go? Will you lie down on the side of the road, or will you stay at sea forever?"
Yu Xiaoye also agreed with her mother's idea and said:
"Yes, Dad, even though we have ocean space now, we still have to live in the real world. We can't stay on the yacht forever. The supplies on the yacht are very limited. We might run out one day, or the yacht might disappear one day. Living on a yacht is not a long-term solution. We still have to find a way to survive in the real world."
Yu Jiahui really couldn't stand it this time:
"Could you two please listen to what I have to say before expressing your opinions?"
"You say, you say-----"
Yu Jiahui calmed down his upset mood and continued:
"What I mean is, our situation yesterday was really terrible. It was so terrible that I couldn't imagine how I would get through the next day. But now it's different. We have a yacht and space to fish. At least we won't starve to death. So I've been thinking about it all morning, thinking about what to do next."
Yu Jiahui paused deliberately.
Xu Ying cooperated and asked:
"So, what earth-shattering plans do you have?"
"It's not a big plan. What I mean is, didn't we discuss yesterday about asking the director who bumped into me for a job? Let's not wait any longer. Where is the director's office? I'll go find him now. I won't stay in the hospital anymore. I'll pay for the medical expenses myself. As long as he gives me a job so that I can have a formal place to stay here, it will be fine. As long as I have a reasonable identity and job, everything will be easier in the future."
"Isn't it still the same plan as yesterday? There's no new progress?" Xu Ying said.
"The new development is that we won't wait any longer. We must proactively, quickly, and fully implement our plan to take root on the farm. I'm going to see the farm manager today. I'll go in person. As long as he agrees to arrange work for us, we'll be discharged today."
"Dad, leave this to me. I'll go find the director."
"No, Xiaoye, let me handle this matter. I don't feel comfortable letting a little girl like you go find a grown man to do it."
"——" Yu Xiaoye didn't expect her father to think in this way. She was a little speechless, "Dad, what kind of thoughts are you thinking? They are not pure at all!"
Yu Jiahui wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and was a little stuck.
Xu Ying understood her husband and knew what he wanted to say, so she helped explain:
"Baby, it's not your dad who's impure, it's all men who are impure. You're still young, there are some things you don't understand, how about this, I'll go, I'm an old woman, there shouldn't be anything to worry about."
Yu Jiahui took a look at his wife's current appearance. Well, it was indeed reassuring.
So he nodded:
"Okay, honey, go ahead and find the manager and ask him for a job. Um, be polite when you talk to him, don't be sarcastic."
Xu Ying's eyes widened: "When did I say anything sarcastic?!"
Yu Jiahui's will to survive was overwhelming: "No, no, no, it was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!"
Yu Xiaoye suddenly remembered her mother Xu Ying's shrewish attitude today. For some reason, the image of her mother jumping up and down and scolding the manager appeared in her mind for no reason, and she suddenly shuddered.
Damn it! Mom is going to scold the farm manager. Forget about work, and don't hang around on this farm anymore.
Just as I was about to say something to persuade him, the door of the ward was pushed open.
The family of three didn't care who came in and were still discussing who would go find the manager.
But after a moment, silence quietly spread in the ward.
Soon, the entire ward fell silent.
The family of three noticed that the atmosphere in the ward was not right, and then they looked up towards the door.
When they looked up, they saw Director Zhou, who had bumped into them yesterday, standing by the door.
Zhou Ziheng was still wearing the green military uniform he wore yesterday, with a tall and straight figure and a capable temperament.
Wearing a military cap that was slightly bleached by the sun, he looked calmly from under the brim of the cap, searching for his target in the ward.
When he saw Yu Xiaoye's family by the door, his eyes fell on them and he ran into them head-on.
Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying were in a panic yesterday and didn't care about anything else, let alone the director's figure and appearance.
At this moment, I saw that the director had a handsome appearance, which was eye-catching.
Yu Jiahui muttered without moving his lips:
"Speak of the devil, the director has come looking for him himself."
