Cheng Tianyuan's job is not easy, but fortunately he has more free time.
There is no need for him at the main factory now. There are not as many orders as before, and there is no need to work overtime at night. Mother Xue basically looks after the books herself.
Now the goods from the South Island are very stable. There is a ship from the South Island once a day, and there are always ten boxes a day.
Cheng Tianyuan's current customers are also relatively stable. If he calls him when the goods are out of stock, he will immediately arrange for a driver to deliver the goods. All he has to do is keep accounts and collect money.
As for the South Island, he would settle the cost with Shanyue at the end of every month and then remit it to him.
He went to the warehouse that morning and felt that the janitor's original cabin was a little small.
"Uncle Chen, there will be more and more goods in my warehouse in the future. I plan to hire an old man to keep you company."
Uncle Chen became nervous when he heard this, "I did a good job..."
"Don't worry." Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Nothing has changed for you. I just hired one more uncle to help. My business will expand a bit, and I will sell some fixed units next, so I need one more person to help."
"Your uncle?" Uncle Chen asked, "Where are you from? Is he also from the south?"
Cheng Tianyuan nodded: "I'll be here in the next few days. I'll have people come over tomorrow to double the size of this room and arrange an extra window to make your stay more comfortable."
Uncle Chen smiled happily and asked: "Um... can you also make a small kitchen? The place is too old and it is not convenient to cook."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan was also cheerful and said: "As long as you help me look at the goods carefully, I will arrange these."
At noon that day, he drove to find Liu Xiaoyu.
Unexpectedly, he was not there, and a helper explained enthusiastically: "Brother Liu went to the post office to transfer money and hasn't come back yet. He will probably come back soon. You can come in and wait."
The house is small, but there are many people crowded inside. Cheng Tianyuan said: "It's okay, I'll wait for him in the yard, just say a word to him."
Cheng Tianyuan stood in the corner of the yard and waited for a full twenty minutes before he saw Liu Xiaoyu hurried in riding a Phoenix bicycle.
"A Yuan!" Liu Xiaoyu stared in surprise, then smiled, "Why are you here?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "I'm here to find you."
Liu Xiaoyu put the bicycle away and said, "The final payment for Shanyue's suite last time has been paid. Sister-in-law Xue Ling happened to be at home at the time. She went to help with the post-production and said she had nothing to add. Then I opened the window for ventilation and left.
Do you want to get something more?"
"Are you free these two days?" Cheng Tianyuan asked.
Liu Xiaoyu asked back: "Is something wrong? We are still doing renovations recently. An old customer introduced us. It's over there in the old city."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and whispered: "Do you think you can spare one day for me to help me with the warehouse? It's near the dock. I rented a warehouse for storing goods. The area is not big. There is a small cabin outside.
It's dilapidated. I want to rebuild the walls to make it warmer. I also want to help renovate the small kitchen next to it so that the elderly can use it more comfortably."
Liu Xiaoyu was silent for a moment and said: "No problem. Since you are in a hurry, take me over tomorrow to take a look and start buying materials immediately. As you said, the area should not be large. With so many of us, we can probably provide it in one day.
You handle it."
"Thank you." Cheng Tianyuan smiled bitterly: "It's a bit urgent. Please start preparing tomorrow and try to get it out as soon as possible."
Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? The workers are in a hurry to use it?"
Cheng Tianyuan had no choice but to briefly explain to him what happened to Chang Bo, and whispered: "The old man is living in the open air now, and I'm worried that something will happen to him as time goes by. Thinking that I can still afford him a stable place to earn a little money, I wanted to take over.
He came over. The place is a little rough, and I hope it can be improved so that when winter comes, the elderly can live warmly."
Liu Xiaoyu was secretly moved, "Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you!"
"I'm always at ease when you do things." Cheng Tianyuan smiled and asked, "Did you just go to the post office to wire money?"
"Yes." Liu Xiaoyu's face darkened when he heard this, and he whispered: "When I called back, I had another argument with Jinhua... If I had known better, I wouldn't have fought!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled bitterly: "Is it because you didn't go back because she came?"
"Yeah." Liu Xiaoyu knew him very well and didn't want to hide anything from him, so she whispered: "It's summer vacation now, and I hope she will bring her children over. She said she didn't have a place to live, and the children didn't have a place to study. She said
She is determined not to come. Moreover, if she leaves suddenly now, something will definitely happen to the pig farm. After all, she just can’t bear to part with the money for raising pigs!”
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and advised: "We have been married for more than ten or twenty years, there is no need to be so tense. Brother Liu, let's be honest, my sister-in-law may have a higher income than you now."
"So what?" Liu Xiaoyu said harshly: "The environment in Rongcheng is not as good as the imperial capital. I am already raising money to buy a house. Waiting for the house to be bought, let's see what excuses she has for not coming! People go to higher places, water
Flow to lower places. There are many employment opportunities in the imperial capital, which is good for the future of the children."
Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "Don't be angry, you have to discuss it with your sister-in-law. If you have free time, take the time to go back. The children are on summer vacation, why not bring them over to play. If your children like the Imperial City, go back and tell your sister-in-law that they want to come, no better than you
It would be much better to say a hundred times, 'There are many job opportunities.'"
"That's right!" Liu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and she laughed, "What a great idea! I'll go back after this decoration is finished. The children have already gone on summer vacation, so there's plenty of time. They haven't even finished yet.
I must have been very happy after taking the train."
Cheng Tianyuan gave him advice, made an appointment to meet tomorrow, and then went home.
It was a little late to go back, and everyone in the family had already had lunch.
The two children were playing chess with their grandfather, Xue Ling was dozing off with her hands on her stomach, and Liu Ying went to take a nap.
Cheng Tianyuan went into the kitchen and ate the leftovers.
Xue Ling woke up in a daze and saw him packing things in the kitchen. He couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you get something fresh to eat?"
"It's okay." Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "It's all leftovers from lunch, very fresh. The rice is still hot on the stove!"
Xue Ling knew that he was always generous to others, but he was very frugal in private, so he didn't stop him and let him go.
Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the two children are a little noisy. They can't sit, sleep, or lie down occasionally.
When Cheng Tianyuan saw her leaning against the wall, he quickly finished eating, packed up, and helped her back to the opposite side.
"It's hot. You sleep next to the window and I'll fan you."
"No need." Xue Ling chuckled: "Isn't there a fan? It's very cool. I just feel uncomfortable with my stomach full."
Cheng Tianyuan whispered sadly: "After this baby is born, we won't want it anymore."
Xue Ling chuckled and said nothing.
In the evening, Cheng Tianyuan called Chen Min and chatted with Chang Bo for a long time, explaining that he hoped he could come over to help look after the warehouse.
The old man didn't dare to ask for it at first, saying that he didn't know anything and was afraid that it would drag Cheng Tianyuan down.
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly explained: "You just need to guard the door. You are one of my own, and I can trust you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't dare to use it casually."
After hearing this, Uncle Chang was overjoyed and said: "Okay... I haven't seen your dad for several years, so I miss him."
Cheng Tianyuan immediately asked Chen Min to help buy train or boat tickets.
