“Cousin, I can understand your feelings, but people have to move on, right?” Song Yao comforted him.
“You’re right…”
Sun Hao wiped his tears. “I just didn’t expect her to be so heartless. We’ve been together for so many years. I didn’t expect her to be such a person…”
Song Yao also understood Sun Hao’s feelings. Just like in the beginning, she didn’t believe that Yu Yong could give Baby Xuan away, nor did she believe what had happened in the dream. It was only when Yu Yong really gave the child away that she completely woke up.
“Cousin, don’t think too much. People change sometimes. Only money and career won’t leave you. As long as you work hard, you’ll definitely make a fortune in the future!”
Upon hearing this, Sun Hao wiped his tears. “You’re right! Only money is the most reliable! As long as we have money, Mother and Little Hu won’t have to live a hard life!”
At the mention ot Sun Hu, Sun Hao sighed. “Although Little Hu isn’t my biological son, he has called me father for so many years. Moreover, this isn’t his fault. If he calls me father, I have to raise him until he’s an adult! ”
Song Yao had never thought that her cousin would be so strong. She patted Sun Hao’s shoulder and said, “That’s right. Work hard with me and earn money. When you become rich in the future, marry a beautiful wife!”
Sun Hao smiled bitterly. “I won’t think about marrying a wife. I’ll only be at ease as a father if I raise Little Hu to adulthood and see him marry a good wife…”
While they were talking, Song Ping had already brought the newly recruited female worker into the courtyard. “Yao, let me introduce you. This is Aunt Liu. She’s very diligent!”
Behind Song Ping, a middle-aged woman who looked familiar in plain clothes stood up. “You’re the boss here? Why do you look so young?”
Song Yao smiled. “Auntie, my father has told you about the work, right?”
“Yes!” Aunt Liu smiled and said, “I work for ten hours a day and earn 12 yuan a month! Isn’t this like picking up money for free?”
Song Yao’s lips twitched. “That’s different. You’ll be busy in the afternoon. If you come over, I’ll have to familiarize you with the kitchen.”
“What’s there to be familiar with?” Aunt Liu said very naturally, “I’m very efficient at work!”
Song Yao didn’t believe it at first until noon.
Aunt Liu helped Song Yao look after the pot as she washed the vegetables. She even chatted with Song Yao casually. “You are making meat buns, right?”
Song Yao stopped. “How did you know?”
“What don’t I know?” The auntie smiled. “I used to work in a state-owned restaurant. What haven’t I done?”
After saying that, she pointed at the red braised pork that Song Yao had just made and said, “You put too little rock sugar in it. The color isn’t so red anymore. Get up and let me do it!”
After Auntie Liu finished speaking, she got busy. Soon, a large bowl of red braised pork was out of the pot. Song Yao was dumbfounded and wished she could ask Song Ping immediately where he found a divine chef like Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu worked until past six in the evening. After the last customer left, she took off her apron. “My dear! I’ll leave first. I’ll come back tomorrow morning! ”
Song Yao waved at her. “Aunt! I want to buy a car tomorrow. Come back the day after tomorrow!”
After Aunt Liu left, Gu Li called Song Xiao over to wash the dishes. Song Yao looked at Song Ping. “Dad, where did you find Aunt Liu?”
Song Ping took a puff of his pipe. “What do you think of this person?
She even said that she used to be a chef at the number one restaurant in the capital. I don’t believe her..
Song Yao was dumbfounded. It turned out that being a chef in a state-owned restaurant was considered low-key… Wasn’t the top restaurant a place only top chefs could go to?
“I think this person is quite good!” Song Yao said, “I still want to raise Aunt Liu’s salary. Let’s raise it to 30 yuan!’
After all, Aunt Liu was a top chef that was hard to come by in a hundred years. She still wanted to learn from Aunt Liu!
“Why so much?” Song Ping took a puff of his cigarette and felt that it was inappropriate.
Even the attendants who worked in the big shopping mall in the county were only paid more than ten yuan a month. Song Ping thought that his daughter had gone crazy when a chef in a small town gave him thirty yuan.
“Dad! You don’t understand. Aunt Liu is a top chef. There are so many people who want to hire her but can’t,” Song Yao said.
Song Ping silently glanced at Song Yao. “Alright! As long as you’re happy! ”
Song Yao glanced at Song Xiao, who was silently washing the dishes in the kitchen. “Find another dishwasher tomorrow. I want to increase the salary of Liang Jie and Cousin by two yuan..”
