Liu Cuihua returned, and Qian Dafu took the two children, said goodbye, and went home. He did not forget to say to Ye Tianya who was seeing them off, "Brother, I forgot to tell Zhiqiu that my factory distributed some kelp. I'll bring it over tomorrow along with some dried salted fish. I'll see if Zhiqiu can use it to make soup or a cold dish."
Ye Tianya nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him later! Grinding tofu tomorrow will take a lot of work, and your sister-in-law has agreed to help a lot of people, so remember to come early to help grind it."
"Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway, I'll come over early."
After seeing off a few people, Ye Tianya returned to the living room. Wang Fugui also wanted to go back, so he took the flashlight and sent him back.
Ye Zhiqiu went to fetch water and took a bath. He sat in the yard, smoking and teasing Xiao Hei.
This little guy is now chubby and everyone in the family loves him and is willing to feed him. In less than two months, he has already grown to over ten pounds!
After Wang Xiaolan came out of the kitchen washing dishes, she wiped the water on her clothes with her hands and prepared to take Ye Bailu to take a bath with her clothes.
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu playing with the dog, she remembered something and asked him, "Boss, you said you were going to give a gift tomorrow, and you also have to help Xiao He and the others cook. Can you handle it?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "There's no rush about delivering the gifts. I can just run around in the afternoon. I've asked He Yongjun and the others to help get the things ready. After I'm done over there, I'll take the gifts and deliver them, then go home to prepare dinner."
Wang Xiaolan urged, "We're going to kill a rabbit for the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? I really don't need to go out and buy other vegetables."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Wang Xiaolan and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Are you planning to use the meat coupons you've been hiding for a month?"
Wang Xiaolan said happily, "I'll save these meat coupons for use during festivals. I'll use them if you need them."
"Come on, save those meat coupons for next month and use them on Dad's birthday! Do you really think I'm working for nothing by cooking for He Yongjun and the others?"
This is true. Even if there are no extra ingredients, he would still buy Ye Zhiqiu a pack of cigarettes or bring two bottles of wine even if he doesn't pay.
Originally, Ye Zhiqiu was not supposed to do this kind of work because he was not a master chef yet, as it did not conform to the rules of the culinary world.
Unfortunately, neither of his two masters was a stickler for rules and instead encouraged him to practice more! Furthermore, He Muxiuying and Sun Yulan were constantly trying to introduce him to potential partners. He fell for it every time, but he always managed to take home food, alcohol, and cigarettes.
The chef will never starve to death in a famine. This is the reason. The profit from cooking a meal for others is really quite good!
Ye Wubing ran out at this time. He showed a flattering smile and asked, "Brother, you guys have wine with your meal. Can I apply to buy some soda for dinner tomorrow?"
Originally, Ye Zhiqiu wanted to ask him to ask Wang Xiaolan for money.
But before he could open his mouth, Ye Wubing continued, "Look, I have to go to school every day recently. When I come back from school in the evening, I still take the time to help make rabbit grass. Big brother, shouldn't you reward me?"
It is true. After Ye Wubing started school in September, the rabbit grass fell on Wang Xiaolan's shoulders. Fortunately, Wang Fugui helped to look after Ye Bailu, so she could go out to cut rabbit grass.
Occasionally, Liu Cuihua would go along, but she usually took on odd jobs, so unless she was making sweet potato vermicelli, she wasn't always free.
Ye Zhiqiu controls the quantity of sweet potato vermicelli and only makes it twice a month. If he makes too much, it will easily be discovered.
And now he knows how to make it. It's quite easy to do in the space. At least when it comes to making sweet potato starch, he can turn it into a slurry with just a few thoughts!
He felt that the second son had been doing really well recently, so he took out money from his pocket, counted out three yuan, handed it to Ye Wubing and said, "Since you have been studying hard recently and know how to help your mother with work, I will agree to your request.
Tomorrow afternoon, go buy ten bottles of soda. The dollar you get for returning the bottles will be your reward. You can use it to buy picture books and read them with your brothers and sisters."
Ye Wubing took the money and said happily, "Thank you, big brother. After I help grandpa move tomorrow, I will definitely go cut a basket full of rabbit grass and bring it back!"
"Okay, just know to help with the housework."
Ye Tianya came back at this time. He saw his two sons in the yard. The second son was still smiling. He asked curiously, "Sons, what are you talking about? Why is the second son so happy?"
Ye Zhiqiu saw Wang Xiaolan had already taken Ye Bailu to the bathroom to take a shower. He smiled and replied, "I heard that someone found five yuan today. We were talking about whether we should go find the person who found the money and split it in half when we meet!"
Ye Tianya felt a little guilty. He had picked up the five dollars today and really wanted to return it to Wu Shengli!
However, he was short of money recently, so he put the money into his pocket for some unknown reason. Unexpectedly, the boss saw it.
This made him a little confused, because when he looked around at that time, he didn't see the boss!
"How did you find out, Boss?"
"I found nothing! He Yongjun and the others saw it. Do you think you're that short of money? You picked up Wu Shengli's five dollars and didn't even give it back!"
Ye Tianya scratched his head and said angrily, "Dad is just short of money. I thought no one saw it, but now I'm so embarrassed!"
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips and said, "What's so embarrassing about this? Only Ma Banghua saw it, and only the three of us know about it."
Hearing that only those he knew knew about it, Ye Tianya finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he knew that He Yongjun and the others were not big mouths and would not spread this matter around.
Ye Wubing stretched out his hand and said, "Dad, my eldest brother said we'll split it in half when we meet! I don't want half, just give me fifty cents!"
