Chapter 68 I wish I had never been here

"Mr. Xiao, do you yearn for the sky outside?"

Being suddenly asked this question, Xiao Yan looked puzzled.

"what?"

He didn't expect that the little girl who was chatting with others in the yard just now would knock on his door the next moment.

Zhou Lingling looked at his pale and bloodless skin, and deeply envied Leng Baishen, but also felt a little sorry for him.

When she was recuperating from her injuries, her father and brothers carried her out to bask in the sun!

Young Master Xiao has been lying in bed for more than a week and has not seen the sun.

How pitiful...

So Zhou Lingling decided to make the must-have artifact for contemporary young people at home and on travel——

wheelchair.

Put it on the agenda.

"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I will let you see the light of day again soon!" Zhou Lingling said with a firm face.

Then he asked, "Hey, where is Brother Feiyu?"

Although he couldn't understand what was going on in her strange mind, Xiao Yan still told her:

"Fei Yu went to work and earn money."

Zhou Lingling: “???”

Isn't he your old bodyguard?

Isn't it a fixed salary plus irregular bonuses and commissions?

What kind of job do you do? How do you earn money?

Her eyes are so good at hiding things.

Xiao Yan only took a glance and roughly understood what she was complaining about.

He said calmly: "My master is seriously injured, so of course I can't support them. So until I recover, he will have to fend for himself."

Not just him, but all of them.

The food and fodder we finally managed to get last time can only last until autumn, and after autumn there is still a long, cold winter...

This is also one of the reasons why he came all the way to the Southern Region.

But unexpectedly, they encountered a robbery and assassination on the way, and even more unexpectedly, there was a drought in the southern region this year.

Although it is not serious, the harvest is not very good.

While recuperating at the Zhou family, his men had already explored the entire Southern Region.

Now they have found a lot of stored grain warehouses, and after they have thoroughly investigated them, they will take action.

There is never a shortage of smart people and speculators in this world. Who knows if the drought this year will happen again next year?

Or will it be more serious?

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Zhou Lingling hesitated and said, "Then if Brother Feiyu teaches my second brother martial arts, do I have to pay him tuition?"

She hadn't thought about this matter before because he was Xiao Yan's bodyguard, but now he has to support himself, and it would be embarrassing to get something for free.

When she said this, Xiao Yan was also stunned.

Instantly, he nodded calmly and said, "Well, it's time to pay the tuition."

Seeing that he actually nodded, Zhou Lingling suddenly felt a little pain in her heart.

"Then how much should we give?" she asked tentatively.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan felt amused in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face.

"Fei Yu's monthly salary used to be twenty taels. You can give as much as you like."

"what?"

Zhou Lingling was shocked. "A monthly salary of twenty taels?"

Xiao Yan nodded, "This is the share of the second-class guards in my mansion."

Zhou Lingling: “…Second class?” What about first class?

"Fifty taels for the first place."

Xiao Yan told her without waiting for her to ask.

Zhou Lingling: “…” Jealousy has changed me beyond recognition.

While her father worked hard carrying sacks and earned five taels of silver a year, others earned two hundred and forty taels a year.

It's like you earn 50,000 yuan a year and others earn 2.4 million yuan a year...

"Mr. Xiao knows about our family's situation. Brother Feiyu will teach my second brother for an hour every day. How about we pay him an hourly wage?"

Hourly wage?

Xiao Yan's eyebrows twitched slightly. This was the first time he heard of this statement.

"Brother Feiyu earns twenty taels of silver a month, which means six taels, six hundred and sixty-six coins a day. Divide that by twelve hours, and you get fifty-five and a half coins per hour..."

"I'll take the loss and give him fifty-six big coins. What do you think, Mr. Xiao?"

Zhou Lingling looked at the handsome man with anticipation, but the latter looked at her with a very complicated look.

"Where did you learn this math?"

Zhou Lingling: “Huh?”

Xiao Yan didn't say anything else.

"Starting tomorrow, you will pay Feiyu fifty-six wen in wages!"

Zhou Lingling: “…”

She came with good intentions, wanting to bring the handsome man back to the light of day, but in the end, she left with a heavy burden of daily expenses...

If possible, she would rather she had never been here.

In the afternoon,

Zhou Laoer and Daqin and others steamed the two jars of soaked grain according to Zhou Lingling's instructions.

After it cooled down, he crushed the yeast that Chen had bought and mixed it together. After stirring evenly, he put it back into the big jar, covered it with a layer of clean cloth, and covered it with a bamboo lid. Finally, he found some yellow mud and pasted it on top.

"Is this good?"

Chen looked at the two tightly sealed vats, still with doubt in her eyes.

Zhou Lingling patted the yeast powder on her hands and said, "Don't worry, Mom. We'll open it and see in half a month."

After finishing her work for the day, Zhou Lingling confirmed with Aunt Fang and Aunt Li that once their tavern opened, one would start packing things two days in advance and the other would come to help.

In addition, Zhou Lingling also asked her father to hand over the few acres of land allocated to their family to the old patriarch for arrangement.

Although for her, she really has no feelings for that village or those acres of land.

But her parents are different.

That land not only has their sorrow, but also their happiness.

Now their family has moved to the town, which will be the county town or even the provincial capital in the future... She also wants to visit the capital.

When Zhou Laoer heard his daughter's words, he was surprised and delighted.

Those seven acres of land have always been his biggest concern for Zhoujia Village.

The kind that worries him more than his own parents.

But his son and daughter are determined to have a better life, and his wife wants to follow them. He can't just go back to the village and farm alone, right?

So he said solemnly to the old patriarch: "Old patriarch, you also know that my family may not return to the village in the future, but these seven acres of land are the foundation of our family."

In response to Zhou Laoer's words, the old patriarch nodded in the same solemn manner.

"Don't worry, my dear. I will have Zhou Yong plant the few acres of land for you. With me here, no one can take your land."

Not to mention that the Zhou family had just helped their family a lot, even as the patriarch of the Zhou family, seeing that the younger generations were becoming more and more promising, he had to help with this small favor.

As it grew darker, although the old patriarch said he didn't want to trouble them, Zhou Laoer still personally drove the ox cart to send the old patriarch back to the village, which made the old man feel more at ease.

the next day,

Zhou Lingling didn't even need her father to call her, she got out of bed as soon as the sun rose.

I went to see Fuguier again last night, and it started to urge me again.

The fairy's apocalyptic fruit and vegetable store has opened. Fuguier chatted with the little sister for a while on her behalf. He heard that this store is very popular there.

Many forces fought with the little fairy for the sake of competing for this store, and used various threats and inducements to the little fairy.

Fortunately, the survival team she was in was no pushover and managed to reach a temporary peace with them despite being surrounded by so many powerful forces.

Because the fairy said that if they continued like this, she would not have enough time and energy to provide everyone with natural food.

This result is not what anyone wants in the end times.

Everyone.

The pride and confidence that those big forces had built up in the last decades of the world were shattered by other people who did not belong to any force because of this small shop that suddenly emerged.

Because this fruit and vegetable store is open to everyone in the end times.

So they had to compromise.

Have to give in.
