Zou Langtao finally breathed a sigh of relief when the last bag of radishes was weighed and moved into the warehouse by the factory's porters.
Ye Zhiqiu kept chatting with Wu Shengli.
"Boss, I'll need your help tomorrow. After I deliver the money, it will probably be two or three o'clock when I get home. I won't be going to work tomorrow."
"Well, these are all small matters. Don't worry. Anyone who wants to delay your attendance needs to ask me first. I will take care of it for you. You have worked hard this time. Lang Tao owes you a big favor. You should get along well in the future and help each other to make progress together."
"Hey, old boss, why are you saying that?! Regardless of your reasons or the relationship between Brother Zou and me, I have to help you with this matter! There's no need to be polite. We're all family, so why should we be polite?"
Ye Zhiqiu knew one thing: in this fiery era, if you want to live a stable life, you must have many friends. No matter what kind of friends they are, as long as they have a vested interest in you, there will always be someone to help you when you encounter problems.
That's why he was willing to do this, and even took the initiative to say that if he ordered in large quantities, he could lower the price to a certain extent, which facilitated this transaction.
After the quantity was calculated and the finance department counted the money, Zou Langtao handed the receipt and money to Ye Zhiqiu.
After a few polite words, Ye Zhiqiu said he had to go and deliver the money to someone quickly and rode away on his bicycle.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't feel any excitement after earning nearly 37,000 yuan in one night. He was a little excited when he had made enough money to become a 10,000 yuan household, but now he doesn't feel that way anymore.
Because no matter how much money he has, he can't spend it in these years. He has nothing to spend the money on. So no matter how much money he has, it is just a pile of paper in his space!
When I got home, it was almost midnight.
The family members were naturally asleep. He had agreed at the beginning not to wait, and he himself didn't know how long he would be busy.
After locking the gate, he parked his bike in the utility room and turned off the light in the yard. After returning to his room, he took off his warm clothes, got into bed, and quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning!
Ye Zhiqiu took a towel and toothbrush and went to the kitchen to wash up. He was surprised to see Ye Wubing cooking.
"Brother, you're awake."
"Second brother, why are you at home? Don't you have school today?"
Ye Wubing looked at Ye Zhiqiu with a strange expression and said, "Brother, are you confused after sleeping? Today is Saturday the 21st, and we don't have school on Saturdays and Sundays..."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head and replied, "Oh, I was so busy and confused that I forgot today is Saturday!"
Ye Wubing raised his eyebrows and said gossipingly, "My sister-in-law came here at nine in the morning. She even wanted to cook just now. How could I dare ask her to cook? Luckily, my younger sister was smart enough not to do anything stupid today. She knew to pull her over and ask her to help with her homework."
Ye Zhiqiu's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Feng Xiaomei to come over! He immediately told Ye Wubing, "Since your sister-in-law is here, we need to add some good dishes! Stir-fry the bacon and cabbage, and you go fry some hairtail. I've taught you all these things, so I don't have to do it, right?"
Ye Wubing patted his chest and said, "It's all right. Big brother, just spend some quality time with your sister-in-law. I'll take care of lunch!"
I have to say, the second child is still quite useful at critical moments. At least he can cook a meal decently.
Ye Zhiqiu brushed his teeth carefully and washed his face very carefully to make sure he was clean.
When he returned to the living room, he found that only Ye Bailu and Feng Xiaomei were there. He smiled and said, "Little sister, as soon as your sister Xiaomei came over, you pestered her to help you with your homework. This is not appropriate! Your second brother is making bacon and will fry hairtail soon. Don't you want to study?"
Ye Bailu was stunned for a moment, but her little brain quickly realized that it was her elder brother who was sending her to the kitchen!
She rolled her eyes, and then she said to herself, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother can roast duck. The roast duck he makes is even better than the ones you buy. It's a pity that you haven't tried it..."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment. He said with a smile, "Roast! I'll roast it this afternoon. Do you want to go cook with your second brother now?"
Ye Bailu nodded vigorously, ran out without looking back, and didn't forget to help close the door...
Feng Xiaomei's face turned a little red and her heart beat a little faster. She thought to herself, this guy suddenly drove Xiao Bailu away, what did he want to do?
What does Ye Zhiqiu want to do?
He went straight over, hugged Feng Xiaomei and started kissing her. Feng Xiaomei felt dizzy from his sudden action.
There was only one thought in my mind: This is unreasonable... He kissed me without even saying a word...
As we all know, oxygen is very scarce in winter. Lack of oxygen will cause the body's temperature to soar, and the hands will grab everywhere and the person will struggle constantly.
Eventually, people who are deprived of oxygen may collapse due to weakness. Of course, if someone can support them at this time, they will not fall to the ground.
Feng Xiaomei panted and gave Ye Zhiqiu a cold look, but in his eyes, this charming expression was more like an invitation.
So he not only struggled and grabbed around with his hands, but also continued to kiss her with his mouth.
After venting their longing for each other again and again, the two of them sat on the stool, leaning against each other and talking about their recent situations.
"Zhiqiu, my uncle came back the day before yesterday. He said my father's health is not good and something serious might have happened. My mother and I were so anxious that we wanted to apply for a visit, but our application was rejected. My mother said that my father might be gone..."
Ye Zhiqiu paused, and asked quickly, "Why would Aunt Chen think that?"
Although Feng Xiaomei's face was very sad, she might have cried before, so although she was very sad at this moment, she did not cry.
"Because my mom said that visits are not allowed and there's no definite information, maybe my dad is gone. But the project he participated in requires strict confidentiality, so this is the case...
In fact, when one of my uncles passed away, his situation was similar to my dad's. When I heard the news, my mom and I cried for a long time, but then I didn't want to cry anymore. Am I being too heartless?
Ye Zhiqiu hugged her tightly. This silly girl, no matter how sad something is, in the end, people will become numb...
Although it was a bit inappropriate, Ye Zhiqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because he had been carrying this news for too long and had never dared to reveal even a little bit of his knowledge.
When he was at the Feng family, every time the topic of Feng Yuanzheng came up, he felt extremely tortured. Knowing the truth but trying hard to pretend ignorance and hiding it from his lover was truly a form of mental torture.
