An hour later, the locksmith came to Uncle Wang's office. He looked at the keyhole of the drawer lock, took out a wire from his backpack, inserted it into the keyhole, and fiddled with it a few times. After pulling out the wire, the drawer was opened. When Master left, Menglin gave him a few more copper coins and told him to forget about what happened today. Master naturally knew the rules and said to rest assured that we would only work and not talk. With that, he left.
Meng Lin took everything out of the drawer. They were all account books. He sat down and checked them carefully page by page. The first few books were the ones he had read before and there were no problems. 00. After Meng Lin closed the last account book, he leaned back on the chair like a broken shelf and did not notice anything wrong.
"Could it be that I'm really overthinking things? It's not Uncle Wang's problem?" Meng Lin pondered in her heart. She had many thoughts now. For a moment, she did not know if she had thought too much and blamed Uncle Wang wrongly, or if Uncle Wang, this experienced man, had hidden it well. Just as Meng Lin was puzzled, he suddenly heard the iron door of the factory being pushed open.”The voice.
Meng Lin panicked. Only Azurepeak or Uncle Wang could come to the factory at this hour. It would not be good if either of them saw what he was doing. Meng Lin quickly put the account book on the table into the drawer and closed the drawer. When he came out of the office, he happened to bump into Azurepeak.
"Why are you still in the factory?"
"Oh, I didn't finish some work, so I worked overtime for a while. Why are you here?"
"Aren't you having dinner with Grand Wu?"
"Uh…I had to work overtime today, so I told him I couldn't go.”
"Have you eaten?"
"Oh, I forgot about it if you didn't mention it. I'm suddenly hungry.”Meng Lin laughed.
"I'll take you to eat. If there's anything to do, we'll do it tomorrow.”
Meng Lin deliberately stood in the workshop outside the office and chatted with Azurepeak, not wanting him to enter the office." Wait for me outside, I'll go get my handbag."”After saying that, he returned to the office and looked at the table. There was indeed nothing left. He grabbed his handbag and left the factory.
Meng Lin said that he wanted to eat some snacks, such as wontons from the roadside. Qing Feng drove to a roadside stall and the two of them ordered a bowl of wontons each. The uncle who sold wontons saw a man and a woman driving a luxurious old car. They did not enter a high-end restaurant but came to eat his cheap wontons. He smiled from ear to ear and was as attentive as he could be. He even asked Azurepeak a few times if he wanted donkey meat, pickled vegetables, and another bowl. Would he be full with so little? It was as if he wanted to earn a month's money from Azurepeak alone. Azurepeak didn't argue. He smiled and said," I'll come to you every day to buy wontons. Uncle, you prepare 200 wontons and 400 donkey meat buns for me every morning. Can you handle it?"”
The uncle who sold wontons was stunned on the spot. After a long time, he came back to his senses and said,"Young Master, why do you want so much? Can you eat it all?”
Azurepeak and Meng Lin both laughed. Azurepeak said," My family has a factory. I see that it's not easy for you to be busy here so late at night. There are 200 people in the factory. In the future, you just have to make breakfast for them. After breakfast, you can go back and rest."”
Uncle Wonton's old tears streamed down his face.”He knelt down before Qingfeng and Qingfeng quickly helped him up. The uncle wiped his tears with his sleeve and said," Thank you, Young Master. If you're willing to help me, there's hope for my wife's medical expenses. You're such a good person. You'll definitely be rewarded."”
Only Qingfeng and Meng Lin ate wontons at night. The uncle didn't have much to do, so he sat down and chatted with the two of them. The uncle had a son, but unfortunately, when the child was one year old, they went to the market and got separated. The uncle had been looking for his son for more than twenty years, but he couldn't find him. His family wasn't doing well to begin with, so he spent a lot of money to find his son. He had gone to many cities, but there was no news. Because he didn't have the money to take the train, he relied on his youth and often walked to save money. In the past twenty years, her son had not been found, and her old lady had been suffering from many chronic diseases. The uncle slowly lost confidence in finding his son. Now that his wife was his only support, he stopped looking for a son when he was old. He saved money to treat his wife's illness. Without a son, he had to grow old with his wife. That was the only comfort. In recent years, he had been selling wontons, leaving early and returning late. He could not make much money in a day. The good medicine in the hospital was expensive, but he could not bear to let his wife eat cheap and bad medicine. Therefore, his life was very difficult. He had been working hard to earn money all these years. He also had some minor illnesses, but he did not care. His life was about to end. As the uncle spoke, he wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Azurepeak and Menglin looked at the uncle pitifully. Menglin also shed a few tears. Azurepeak said," Uncle, don't worry. As long as my factory is here, you will have a job." Hurry up and pack up. From tomorrow onwards, you will be home every morning at 7: Come to the factory at 00:00. I'll let the workers take turns to come out for dinner. You just have to be busy in the morning. If you want to earn more money, lunch is also fine. I'm just afraid that you don't have enough stamina…"
Before Qingfeng could finish, the uncle said excitedly," I have enough, I have enough. I want to sell more wontons to earn money for my wife's medical expenses. In the future, I'll only cook breakfast."”
Azurepeak told the uncle the location of the factory. The uncle nodded and then helped the uncle clean up the stools and tables. After the uncle thanked him repeatedly and left on the tricycle, Azurepeak and Menglin got into the car.
The next morning, it was a lively scene at the entrance of the factory. There was a long queue of workers who took turns to come out to eat. An uncle was busy making wontons. As long as the uncle cooked the wontons, the workers in line would take two donkey meat buns from the table next to him and eat them at the table. The uncle was very busy the whole morning. There were a total of 200 people eating. On average, each person made two donkey meat buns. This morning, he could earn more than twice the usual monthly income. Some of the men who worked hard had drunk three or four bowls and eaten five or six donkey meat buns. After a busy morning, Uncle Wonton was tired but happy. He was smiling and did not have the melancholy from last night.
When all the workers took turns to finish their meals and return to the workshop to work, Meng Lin came out and handed a few banknotes to the uncle. The uncle counted them and said," Miss, do you have any change? I can't change such a big note."”Meng Lin smiled and said," You don't have to look for it." The uncle said," How can this be? You're already very good to me by letting me sell wontons.”Meng Lin continued to smile." You really don't have to change. It just so happens that I don't have any change today. I'll give you some change next time I have."”Uncle Wonton thanked Meng Lin and said," I'll go back and prepare. I'll come back at noon."”Meng Lin said," My brother told me that you should go to another factory for lunch. The people in this factory just had wontons for breakfast. It's easy to get sick of eating them for lunch." I've already made arrangements with the other factories.”Uncle Wonton quickly thanked him and bowed. Meng Lin waved his hand and said," Don't be like this, uncle. Go back and prepare lunch early. Don't delay the workers from eating."”
After breakfast, Uncle Wonton rode his tricycle home. His house was a very simple bungalow left behind by his ancestors. The house was filled with some dilapidated furniture and was very shabby. An old woman was lying on the brick bed. She looked like her husband and she looked very unwell. As soon as he got home, he pushed open the door and took out a handful of bills from his pocket. He shook his wife awake from her nap.
"Old woman, wake up, wake up, look…so much money.”He sounded a little excited.
The old man shook his wife awake from her nap. She opened her sleepy eyes and asked weakly," What? What did you say?"
"Look, Qian, your illness is cured.”
The old man's wife moved her body slightly. At this time, she was a little awake and looked at the silver notes in the old man's hand. She asked in surprise,"So much?"”
"Yes, your illness can be cured. We have money to treat it.”As the old man spoke, tears began to fall.
The old woman smiled gratefully. Suddenly, a violent cough interrupted their conversation. The old man quickly patted her back lightly. The old woman coughed for a while and waved her hand to stop. She calmed down and said,"I've really exhausted you all these years. I'm sorry. This time, we met a great person who can help us. Let's not buy medicine today. Let's make a delicious meal tonight to celebrate.”
"Hehe, I must buy this medicine, but I have to make this delicious food too. I'll go to work first. After the workers finish their lunch, I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and meat. Let's celebrate.”
As the old man spoke, he set up a small table on the ground, took a stool, and started to make wontons in front of the old woman. From time to time, he would look at the old woman on the brick bed. The old woman had always been pleased to see the old man working. She thought that there was hope for the family in the future and that they would no longer be struggling because of her constant medication. Thinking of this, she also revealed a gratified smile.
It was a weekend morning.
Meng Lin woke up from his sleep and stretched his body comfortably. He lay in bed for a while before getting out of bed lazily. She took a sip of water and seemed to have thought of something. She rummaged through her bag and took out a letter that Azurepeak had handed to her yesterday.
Strange, why did Yashuo write to me? As she was thinking, she opened the letter and read it. She began to read it casually, then slowly, her expression became serious, and then her brows furrowed. Finally, she put the letter down and said," Oh my god, he actually found the ancient mountain."”
Meng Lin folded the letter and put it in the drawer. She was indeed shocked. Firstly, she did not expect Yashuo to use this opportunity to confess. Secondly, he did not even inform her before he went on an adventure. If he transmigrated to the 21st century, it would be an era of intelligence and e-commerce. If Yashuo, a person from the Republic of China, went there, he would really not be able to survive. No one would even want him to work. Thinking of this, Meng Lin paced back and forth in the room, not knowing what to do.
