Aunt Dashuang was waiting at the door of the village chief's house. When she saw Fu Bao and the others, she smiled and said, "Master! It's almost noon today. Fu Bao must be hungry, right? Come home for a bite to eat. Don't be hungry."
Fu Bao nodded: "Okay!"
Jiang Li also guessed what Dashuang meant by coming to them at this time, but he didn't reveal it yet.
After a while, we arrived at Da Shuang's house.
It happened that Xu Qingsong and his wife were also there.
Everyone stood up to greet Jiang Li: "My boss."
Jiang Li put Fu Bao down and waved his hand: "It's okay, let's have a simple meal. You can go about your business, don't be formal."
"Hey, the good old man!"
The men in Dashuang were working, and Xiaoshuang and her mother went in to serve the food. Xu Qingsong asked Fubao and the others to sit down, "Master, take a sip of hot water."
There is no such thing as tea in his house, and even if the conditions are better, he can't afford tea.
In the whole village, only the village chief's house still has some tea, and it's just grain tea, not good tea.
Fu Bao was thirsty, "Uncle, I want some water..."
Jiang Li skillfully held the milk dumplings on her lap and put the water bowl to her lips. Fu Bao held the bowl of water with both hands and drank it. After finishing the drink, he swiped his mouth and said, "It tastes good!"
He looks like a big man drinking.
Jiang Li was amused by her, and turned to talk to Xu Qingsong about other things, "What are your plans for the tofu shop in the future?"
Xu Qingsong did not expect that his boss would take the initiative to care about him. He said honestly: "I have no other plans. If my boss wants to use me, I will definitely help you!"
He stood up and showed off his tendons. Although they were a little thinner than before he got sick, they were still very impressive.
"I'm much better now. I have no problem with my strength after cultivating myself! When the time comes, I will go work for my employer! Repay my employer's kindness!"
As the eldest brother, Xu Qingsong has always watched his younger brother and his family busy with him, and it is fake to not feel anxious or guilty.
The more worried and guilty he felt, the more grateful he was to his employer who extended a helping hand to his family.
So as long as his boss needs it, he will go through fire and water!
Jiang Li smiled and said: "I see, you are very good. I do have a job for you to do here, but it doesn't require much effort on your part."
Xu Qingsong sat down again and said seriously: "Master, please tell me."
"The tofu shop and road construction will start at the same time. As one of the supervisors, you will cooperate with the people I sent to keep an eye on the project, control the progress, and manage the construction materials to prevent them from being stolen or swallowed. Is this feasible?"
Xu Qingsong was in a daze. This was indeed the job that was most suitable for him!
He immediately patted his chest: "Don't worry, boss! I have been a foreman before! I am familiar with these jobs! I do a good job in keeping them! I don't want any wages, so I should repay my boss!"
Fu Bao said in a sweet voice: "No way, uncle, we don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. Everyone has wages. You are the supervisor but you don't have wages. How can people obey you? Besides, if you work for us, we won't do anything for you."
I won’t pay you any wages.”
Xu Qingsong was stunned for a moment, thinking that what Qingshan said was indeed correct.
Their boss is the smartest and most eccentric than the little boss! We really can’t underestimate the little boss.
He nodded: "Okay then, just do as the little boss said."
The older pair and the younger pairs, who were carrying vegetables and meals back and forth, also heard the conversation outside.
The two sisters whispered in the kitchen room: "It seems that my boss is really kind-hearted and has no intention of taking over our work!"
Xiaoshuang was so moved that her eyes were red, "My man has done something, and he feels better. The family has also made money, and my boss... is such a good person!"
Dashuang thought about it: "I will try to find out what my boss has to say at the dinner table later... My boss is good enough to us. If the boss needs to get rid of me, we must not complain! The worst is to wait for Tofu Fang."
The door is open, let’s go apply for the job! With a good pair of hands, we can make a living!”
Xiaoshuang nodded seriously: "That's right, I will never blame my boss."
After discussing, they brought out the meal with meat and vegetables.
This was cut from the fresh meat Xu Qingshan brought back last time, and the last piece was specially reserved for entertaining the host.
They even cooked more dishes for fear of neglecting their boss.
But Fu Bao was indeed hungry, and she was also a good child who was not picky about food. She followed Xiao Shuang buttocks to wash her hands, and then sat obediently in Jiang Li's arms, waiting to eat.
Dashuang filled her with a large bowl of white rice - this was the same large white rice that Xu Qingshan had brought back last time. Large white rice was expensive, and their village did not produce large white rice, so they could only buy it at grain stores outside.
They usually eat a small bag of white rice mixed with other whole grains. They are afraid that eating it all at once would be too luxurious, so they save it.
But this time it was different when Fubao and the others came. The best white rice was given to Fubao and Jiang Li.
Fortunately, Fu Bao is very good and never wastes a grain of rice. Even if there are grains of rice on his face, he still takes it off and eats it himself.
I am not picky about food either.
It seemed that Da Shuang was overflowing with motherly love, "My little boss is really well-behaved. He can feed himself at such a young age and he eats cleanly."
It's really sad to see that little bastard of mine, and his grandmother chasing after him with his rice bowl to feed him.
Fu Bao shook his head and said: "Master said, it is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping on the soil. Who knows that every grain of rice is hard to eat? Every grain of rice is hard-earned, Fu Bao cannot waste it~"
Xiao Fubao's simple song "Compassion for the Farmers" made everyone present stunned.
Da Shuang said awkwardly: "My little boss is so awesome! I have learned everything Mr. taught me!"
She secretly envied other people's children who could go to school for enlightenment at a young age.
And families like theirs don't have the money to support their children in education... It would be great if one day they could have a scholar in their own family...
At this time, Fu Bao said again: "Besides, grandma also said that if you don't eat cleanly, you will get pockmarks on your face! Fu Bao doesn't want pockmarks on your face!"
These words made Da Shuang no longer embarrassed at all. She laughed and said, "I've heard this before! Mom, have you been scaring me like this since you were a child?"
Dashuang's mother said embarrassedly: "That's not because you are disobedient. I can only say this, as the old saying goes!"
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Jiang Li also ate slowly. Little did he know that his and Fubao's meals were both good ones.
Everyone else just had a thin layer of white rice covering the bowl, with other grains underneath.
He didn't expose it, but he accepted his intention and took the initiative: "Dashuang, let me talk about what happens to you guys in the future."
When Dashuang and the others heard this, their hearts tightened and they could no longer laugh.
What does the owner have to say?
Could it be that their Dou Hua Fang really can't continue to operate? The owner is going to ask them to find a way out on their own?
