Su Liu and Chen were talking about their stepfather here. Over there, Cao Mingzhu was also talking about Cao Kui.
"Dad, what do you think is wrong with you? How did you end up with your feet like this?" Cao Mingzhu pointed to Cao Kui's rice dumpling-like feet, feeling very heartbroken.
"Isn't this all an accident?" Cao Kui felt guilty and chuckled.
"Accident is an accident." Cao Mingzhu obviously didn't believe it, and said: "Then what's going on between you and Aunt Chen? I saw you protecting her, dad, could it be because you were protecting Aunt Chen?
Are you injured?"
"It's none of her business." Cao Kui said hurriedly: "I was not careful. Besides, it was chaotic at that time. I can protect everyone."
Cao Mingzhu squinted her eyes, as if she was weighing his words, which made Cao Kui feel guilty and his ears turned slightly red.
Cao Mingzhu saw her and asked tentatively: "Dad, what do you think of Aunt Chen?"
"Huh? She's pretty good."
"I think it's pretty good too." Cao Mingzhu said with a smile: "She is gentle, considerate, kind, and a good cook. She is a completely good wife and mother."
Cao Kui said nothing. He could see that Chen was a person who kept her duty. I really don't know what her former man thought, that he could abandon such a good woman.
"Dad, my mother has been gone for many years, and my daughter has grown up. It's time for you to find someone to keep you company." Cao Mingzhu sat next to him and said, "I have always advised you to find someone to keep you company. In the past, when my daughter was young, you
You are afraid that your daughter will be bullied. Now that your daughter is about to get married, you should think about it for yourself. I think Aunt Chen is a good woman."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't ruin other people's reputation." Cao Kui frowned.
"Dad, I don't want to see you alone." Cao Mingzhu hugged his shoulders, her voice choked with sobs.
She didn't want to see his lonely figure reflected on the window, and she didn't want him to stare blankly at his mother's portrait. If she got married in the future and her father was alone, how could she feel at ease?
If Cao Kui is interested in Chen, she will naturally be happy. After all, it means that her father is coming out. Besides, she can rest assured that her father will be handed over to Chen.
Cao Kui was a little absent-minded and said, "You haven't even gotten engaged yet. We'll wait until you get married in the future." He changed the topic and said seriously: "Zhu'er, you are the apple of my father's eye, and he cannot bear to see your grievances.
Dad also understands what he is thinking. It’s just that we can’t reach such a high level."
Cao Mingzhu was startled and lowered her head with a red face: "Dad, what are you talking about? My daughter doesn't understand."
"Although dad is a businessman, he is also a father. You are dad's treasure. Dad doesn't want to see you wronged." Cao Kui straightened her head and said, "If Song Fei takes the initiative to ask, dad will answer."
If you can't, Pearl, give up on this idea."
After hearing this, Cao Mingzhu's face turned from red to white, and she looked at Cao Kui blankly.
"I, Cao Kui's daughter, cannot bear to be wronged. If you try to compromise, you might as well marry someone else. At least, you can still be your own master."
Cao Mingzhu hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Dad, I understand." Tears fell one by one.
Cao Kui sighed when he saw it.
The Song family is good, but how can such a family value his business identity? If he was greedy for wealth, he would be willing to marry the Song family to seek greater benefits, even if it cost him the entire Cao family.
However, although he is a businessman, he is not really keen on money. He just enjoys the process of making money. In his opinion, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it cannot compare to Cao Mingzhu.
The pearl he holds in his hand deserves to be the best man in the world, and he does not want to wrong his only pearl. Therefore, unless the Song family comes to ask for it, he will respond and will never give away his daughter.
...
Su Liu originally planned to go back to Dayao Village after the Lantern Festival. After all, after the New Year, she would be busy with many things, such as opening an donkey-hide gelatin workshop, collecting peppers, and shop matters. She was really busy.
.
But there was such a fuss in the Lantern Festival, and Cao Kui was injured again, so he had to stay for a few more days. Even so, Su Liu was not idle. While Cao Kui and Song Fei were both there, he decided to start the workshop operation.
thing.
Zhuangzi is the Zhuangzi of the Cao family. It only needs a few modifications. The key is the training of the workers in making glue.
Donkey-hide gelatin is a precious commodity, and the prescription is the most important, and must not be leaked, so the people in charge must be loyal, otherwise, if the prescription is leaked, will they still be able to perform?
Su Liu proposed supervisory responsibility management. Each process would have a department. If something went wrong, that department would be held accountable. Naturally, within a department, there would be mutual supervision for more than three months.
The purchasing department, production department, sales department, and logistics department are all managed by Su Liu according to the company's charter. Each department has a supervisor. If something goes wrong among the people below, the first person to be held accountable must be the supervisor.
Moreover, in order to facilitate mutual supervision among colleagues, she also prepared a reporting box. If she finds anyone has different intentions or does something detrimental to the workshop, they can report it anonymously. If the superiors find out that it is true, the reporter will be rewarded. On the contrary, if
If the reporter is found to be maliciously defaming others, he will also be punished.
Su Liu's suggestion was excellent, and neither Cao Kui nor Song Fei had any objections, and even used Su Liu's method in their own business.
The work in the workshop is going on in full swing. As for the donkeys on the farm, Cao Kui has already asked people to buy donkeys and raise them. Of course, donkeys cannot be raised in a day or two, so this purchase of donkeys
I have never let go of the skin issue.
On this day, after talking about things in the workshop, Chen and Cao Mingzhu came with their food boxes. Su Liu's sharp eyes lit up when he saw Cao Kui.
"Mom, you are here." Su Liu stepped forward and took her food box.
"I made soup in front. It's freezing today. I don't know when you talked about it, so I brought it to you to eat." Mrs. Chen said with a smile, looked at Cao Kuina again, and quickly looked away.
"Let me guess, is it peanut chicken feet soup or pig's trotters soup today?" Su Liu sniffed at the food box like a puppy.
Because Cao Kui's injury was in his foot, Mrs. Chen felt apologetic in her heart, so in the past few days, she always cooked soup to strengthen the muscles and bones. The name was so that everyone could drink it, but the main reason was for Cao Kui.
After several times, everyone tacitly understood each other, but because they were both very old, they didn't break the window paper.
Mrs. Chen blushed slightly and said, "You guys go ahead and eat, I'll go ahead and eat with Su Xiao and the others." She was about to leave.
Su Liu quickly took her and said: "Mom, this is not a coincidence. Ning Guang and I have made an appointment to go to Huayuan to appreciate plum blossoms today. Just a few of us young people will go. Sister Mingzhu, do you think it is right?"
?" She emphasized the word "young man" and winked at Cao Mingzhu and the others.
"Yeah yeah."
"It's almost time now, mother, I'll ask you to serve the Master Cao." After saying that, Su Liu stuffed the food box back into her hand and winked at Ning Guang and the others.
Everyone understood, and walked out in agreement with a smile. However, they hid outside the door, poked through the window paper, and peeked inside.
Mrs. Chen was so embarrassed that she stood in the hall with a food box and was at a loss. Apart from Su Changsheng, this was the first time she was alone in a room with a man.
"What did you do for dinner today? I'm just hungry." Cao Kui was also a little embarrassed, but he was a man anyway, so he spoke first, stood up again, and wanted to walk towards Chen.
After taking only two steps, he took a breath of cold air, completely forgetting that his foot was injured. This exertion was so painful that he almost fell. Mrs. Chen quickly stepped forward to support him and said in anger.
: "If your feet are not good, don't move around."
Cao Kui obediently let her help him back to his position, and looked at her with a silly smile: "Didn't I forget?"
Mrs. Chen gouged him out, opened the food box, which contained steaming pig's trotter soup, took out a bowl, spooned a bowl, and handed it over: "Here."
Cao Kui took it, and the fragrant bone soup smell penetrated the tip of his nose, and he said with a naive smile: "The soups you make are all delicious."
I heard from Zhu'er that the soup and soup for his meals these days have been cooked by Mrs. Chen herself, and they all taste very good. Mingzhu is right, Mrs. Chen is a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Chen seemed embarrassed, lowered her head, and said hesitantly: "Um, thank you for that night."
"Huh?" Cao Kui turned his head and saw Mrs. Chen lowering her head slightly, showing her beautiful profile, so demure. He couldn't help but be startled and said, "Thank you. It's natural for men to protect women."
After hearing this, Ms. Chen raised her head and met his fiery gaze. Both of them were startled and felt a little uncomfortable. They coughed and turned away.
The two were silent, but the people outside the door were anxious. Cao Mingzhu even said: "Oh, why is my father so stupid?"
"That's it, why can't your father say a few nice words to coax my mother?" Su Liu also leaned forward and looked inside.
"Do you think we should give them a push?" Cao Mingzhu said eagerly.
Her mother has been gone for so long and her father has been alone. She has long been looking forward to him marrying another one. If for no other reason, she will always have a companion when she comes.
Now that person is Mrs. Chen, who has a gentle temperament, and she and Su Liu and the others are like sisters, so she is naturally happy to see it happen.
"My mother is thin-skinned, so don't do it. If she does something wrong, she will end up being the wrong person." Su Liu sighed and said, "Let nature take its course."
Matchmaking is not easy, it must be done at the right time.
"That's the only way." Cao Mingzhu pouted, turned around, and saw Song Fei looking at her teasingly, she couldn't help but blush, bit her lip and lowered her head.
"Let's go, let's go to Huayuan." Song Fei patted Ning Guang on the shoulder.
Ning Guang's eyes drifted to the paws on his shoulders, he snorted, looked at Su Liu with disdain, and strode away.
Su Liu touched his nose and followed quickly: "Wait for me."
Sorry, the updates are not very stable these days, because Yan is not in good health, please forgive me, ahhhh~ Humo
