Sunset.

Qiu Xilan returned to the house and went straight to her mother's study.

Qiu's mother was checking the account books of various inns at the end of last month, and the door of the room was not closed.

"Mom, I'm back."

Mother Qiu put down the account book and said, "Lan'er is back. Is everything going well at the store?"

She walked directly to the opposite side of the desk and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, "Mom, I was just about to tell you about this."

Mother Qiu also picked up the teacup and motioned for her to continue.

"I have already handed the shop over to the shopkeeper in Shibei City, but I don't plan to run the shop myself. Mom, can you find someone to look after it?"

"Okay, okay, then are you going to do something else?"

"Well, I have decided to work for the owner of Chishi Dessert."

"Work? Do you mean to be a helper?"

Mother Qiu looked at her and nodded. She was so angry that she threw the cup on the ground. "You really gave your mother face! You don't want to be the boss of a good young master, but you run to be a servant in someone else's house!"

She didn't expect that her usually kind and amiable mother would get so angry, so she quickly stood up and walked to Mrs. Qiu to help her calm down.

"Mom, listen to me first. Although I am going to work, I am not a servant. You don't know that when I went to Boss Lin's place, I felt like I was in another country. It's hard to explain it in a few words. I went there to learn something. Didn't you also tell me that I should go out more, experience different things, learn from others' strengths and make up for my own weaknesses?"

Mother Qiu directly retorted: "What's the difference? They are still servants!"

"I'm going anyway. I've already signed the contract. You can't let me break it, right? Otherwise, your daughter won't have any integrity in Jiyun City anymore."

The contract must not have been signed yet. Lin Jiaojiao asked her family to inform them and it would not be too late to sign it after they arrived.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Qiu's mother was very troubled but there was nothing she could do because they valued honesty and integrity the most in doing business.

"Hey, what about your husband? Xiaojia has packed all her things and is ready to live with you in Shibei City."

"Don't worry, mom. I will definitely make arrangements."

She had already made up her mind that she would take her husband to apply for the job when there was a job opening, but she didn't dare tell her mother. She would have to wait and see. Anyway, she knew Jialang's character well, and she didn't want to work and suffer for him.

But he sticks to her so closely that even if she doesn't let him go, he will try his best to go.

...

Lin Jiaojiao slept in. She and Fu Ling agreed to discuss the itinerary for the extra chapter the day after tomorrow, so she planned to teach Lin Yizhi more about food in the next two days so that he could continue to update new things when she was away.

She came out of Lin Yiyan's room. Yes, since she had already accepted him, she certainly couldn't favor one person too much. One, three, and five belonged to Lin Yizi, two, four, and six belonged to Lin Yiyan, and the last day belonged to herself.

She aspires to be a master of balancing things.

After breakfast, she asked Zhao Yang to pour out the sprouted wheat in the winnowing basket and clean it. This was what she had asked Zhao Yang to plant before. She just scattered the wheat seeds in the winnowing basket and watered it every day. It had sprouted for eight days and was growing very well.

First, let him pour the glutinous rice that has been soaked overnight into the steamer and steam it until cooked, then let him chop all the wheat seedlings into small pieces.

After the glutinous rice is cooked, pour it into the prepared ceramic jar and add boiled water to cool it down.

Then pour all the chopped wheat seedlings in and stir evenly with a wooden spoon. After pressing it flat, use a quilt to cover the mouth of the jar. Finally, put a dustpan upside down on it and press it down with a brick.

Although there are maltose for sale outside, it is impossible to make it yourself and keep up with the demand.

But no one in the family knew how to make it, so she used what she saw in a book to teach them, but she asked Zhao Yang to do it. After all, there would definitely be a huge demand for this thing, so the making of this piece of malt sugar would be left to him from now on.

After all this is done, you can only continue after it is fermented tomorrow.

Seeing that it was still early, she first went to the farm to inspect the construction progress. After confirming that there were no problems, she went to the women's dormitory to see if Qiu Xilan had arrived.

When I arrived at the door, I saw her coming out of the small kitchen. She was very happy to see Lin Jiaojiao.

Qiu Xilan came over with a teapot of hot water, "Boss, you're here. I was planning to go find you after lunch."

"Well, I didn't expect your mother and father would actually agree to let you come."

Qiu Xilan scratched her head a little embarrassedly and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, actually I didn't agree. I lied to them that I had signed the contract, and they couldn't do anything to me."

"... "

She looked at Qiu Xilan helplessly and speechlessly. Is this the rebellious rich second generation? He gave up being a good boss and came to experience life.

If it were her, she would definitely be lying down now, just waiting for food and clothing to be provided for her.

"Okay, when Manager Lin comes back, she will take you to sign the contract. If you need anything in your accommodation, please find Manager Lin. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"and many more."

She turned around again, looked at Qiu Xilan's embarrassed and hesitant expression, and motioned for her to speak quickly.

"That's right, um, can you let me know in advance next time you recruit helpers? My clingy husband wants to come to work, but he actually just wants to see me more often. Don't worry, boss, since he can come to work, he will definitely work hard..."

She thought it was something else, but after she said that, she realized that she should be building a small courtyard for her family, but she would only see it later.

"Okay, but he can't use the backdoor. All work positions are obtained through personal ability. It depends on whether he can do the job."

"Okay, okay, he can definitely do it." Qiu Xilan still has great confidence in her husband.

Lin Jiaojiao went to the men's dormitory again, but she did not go in. She stood at the window of the guard room outside the door to ask about Peng Yu's situation. When she saw that everything was fine, she rushed home.

On the way home, she heard the whimpering of puppies. She followed the sound and saw them in the weeds.

They were three little puppies, probably only half a month old, with their eyes barely open. She looked around and thought they were probably abandoned.

She picked them all up and walked back. She planned to raise one for each of the male and female dormitories, which would be perfect for guarding the door in the future, and keep the other one at home.

She has already picked out names for them: Xiaobai, Xiaohuang, and Xiaohei, which just correspond to their fur color.

She gave Xiao Hei to Peng Yu, Xiao Huang to Lin Xiumei, and kept Xiao Bai for herself. The puppies must still be drinking milk, so she went to the household that had goat milk and ordered a month's supply, having them deliver it to her house and the men's and women's dormitory every day.

She returned home carrying Xiaobai, and the whole family gathered around her.

"Wife, is this puppy ours?"

When Lin Yizhi saw her nod, he quickly reached out to hug the puppy. She put the puppy in his arms and listened to him talk.

"Xiaobai, my wife, can we name it Xiaobai?"
