Chapter 530: Five hundred twenty-eight, hiring Chapter 530: Five hundred twenty-eight, hiring “Okay!” Qi Hui quickly ran into the kitchen, got a clean bowl, and ran outside.
Before long, Qi Hui ran back, handing the bowl to Luo Shu.
Luo Shu took the bowl and handed it to the third child, “Little dear, after you eat this, it won’t hurt anymore. After you feel better, Auntie will give you candy, okay?”
The third child nodded through tears, took the bowl Luo Shu handed over, and drank down the duck saliva inside.
It hadn’t been long after he drank it that the third child felt the pain in his throat really seed to have vanished. “Auntie! It really doesn’t hurt anymore,” he said, his face breaking into a happy smile. Children are like that; they cry when they want to cry, laugh after they cry, following their hearts without a worry.
Luo Shu handed the third child over to Qi Hui, “Sister-in-law Xu, it’s all right now.”
“Little sister, I really can’t thank you enough this ti! I don’t know how to express my gratitude,” said Qi Hui, gratefully. Initially, because of Li Xiangyun’s issue, she had so opinions about Luo Shu and thought she was not easy to get along with. She realized now that she had been wrong.
“What’s there to thank? It was just a matter of lifting a hand,” Luo Shu said with a smile, shaking her head. She took out three lollipops from her pocket, gave one to the third child, and the rest to the eldest and the second.
“Hurry up and thank your Auntie!” Qi Hui told the children.
“Thank you, Auntie!” The three obedient children thanked Luo Shu and ran off to play in the courtyard with their lollipops.
“Little sister, do you know dical practices?” Li Tingyao asked Luo Shu.
“I know a little bit,” replied Luo Shu with a modest smile.
“Little sister, you are really remarkable! Not only can you cook, but you also know dical practices.”
“If I had known this thod sooner, it would have been better. The last ti my Da Bao also got a fishbone stuck in his throat, we spent a long ti at the hospital trying to get it out,” Wu Yuan said.
“This thod is really useful, now we won’t have to be afraid anymore,” Fang Jingi agreed with a smile.
“Sisters, why didn’t you bring the children over?” Luo Shu imdiately changed the subject.
“I was just asking the sa thing. It would have been nice to have the children co over for a simple al together,” she said.
“The end-of-term exams are coming up soon, they have been reviewing at ho these days,” replied Fang Jingi with a smile.
“My ho is the sa; from now on, they have to study hard to do well. I’m counting on them to get into a good university in the future, so they don’t end up like us,” laughed Wu Yuan. Although she was now the Company Commander’s wife, in the past, every ti her Old Li went on a mission, she was always anxious, fearing he wouldn’t return. That’s why she hoped her children wouldn’t have to walk the sa arduous path.
After chatting with everyone until late, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo returned ho. During their conversation, she had learned a lot from Wu Yuan and the others, including so insights on child education. Even though she didn’t have children yet, she would eventually. It would do no harm to understand so things in advance.
“What are you thinking about?” Lu Hanmo asked with a smile, looking at Luo Shu.
“Thinking about when we will have children,” Luo Shu said.
“Wanting children is easy, let’s make an effort,” Lu Hanmo said with a laugh, picking Luo Shu up and heading toward the bedroom.
“I didn’t an it like that!” Luo Shu glared at Lu Hanmo annoyedly.
“Wife, I understand, you don’t need to explain. I’ll just work harder, and we will soon have our baby,” Lu Hanmo said with a mischievous smile as he kissed Luo Shu’s lips.
Soon, the room was filled with the sound of passionate murmuring…
As the demand from the sales point grew, Fang Xiaoling beca busier, but it also made her more motivated.
“Xiao Ling, do you need help with anything?” Seeing Fang Xiaoling busy in the kitchen by herself, Sister-in-law Li walked over and asked.
Fang Xiaoling thought for a mont, then handed Sister-in-law Li the bowl she had just seasoned, and gave her a pair of chopsticks, “Just keep stirring with the chopsticks until it turns into a paste.” This was the most labor-intensive part of making cakes. Every ti her arms would ache from the effort, and she’d be unable to lift them the next day.
“Okay!” Sister-in-law Li happily agreed, taking the chopsticks and began to stir.
“Is Sister-in-law Yang at ho?” A familiar voice ca from outside.
“I’ll go check.” After telling Sister-in-law Li, Zhang Xiaoling got up and walked outside.
She saw four or five wives of the guards standing outside. They were all acquaintances she’d nodded to before but didn’t know well.
“Sister-in-law Yang, we heard your business is really booming. Take us along with you.”
“Yeah, we can help you with the work too. I’m really quick with my hands and feet.”
“Any heavy labor, just command us.” They all spoke one after another. They had all heard that Zhang Xiaoling and Luo Shu were collaborating and had recently made a lot of money. They wouldn’t dare to approach Luo Shu.
“I do need your help. Please co inside and we can talk,” said Zhang Xiaoling. She had already discussed with Luo Shu and decided to hire a few people for the ti being to help her package cakes and whip eggs. But before whipping the eggs, she would prepare the ingredients herself.
The group of won followed Zhang Xiaoling into the house and saw Aunt Wang packaging cakes. Nearby, a basket was filled with many wrapped cakes.
“First, watch how Aunt Wang does it. For every bag of cakes you package, I’ll give you one cent. But it must be done just like Aunt Wang does it, with washed hands and a mask on.”
“Sure! We’ll do whatever you tell us to.”
“We’ll listen to you,” the group of won answered with a laugh. As long as it ant earning money, they would agree to any condition. Packaging cakes was, after all, not difficult.
“There’s another job, which is whipping eggs. Follow to the kitchen and I’ll show you,” said Zhang Xiaoling, already leading the group into the kitchen.
Sister-in-law Li shook her slightly sore arm and, upon seeing everyone coming in, kept on whipping. Whipping the eggs was quite exhausting!
“Just like Sister-in-law Li, whip the eggs until they turn into a paste. This job does take so elbow grease, so for every bowl you whip, I’ll give you three cents. It’s up to you which job you want to do,” Zhang Xiaoling said with a smile.
“I’ll choose the egg whipping,” stated two of the guard’s wives imdiately. After all, when not whipping eggs, they could also do the packaging.
“Then we will choose to package cakes,” said the other two guard’s wives.
“Welco to our ‘Love to Eat Cake’ team,” Zhang Xiaoling smiled and said to the four wives of the guards. She and Luo Shu had decided on this na together, and it was when they were choosing the na that she realized Luo Shu wasn’t as good at it as she was.
