Before dawn the next day, Zhao'er and Xue Tingxiang left the inn.
Xue Tingxiang went to Shibosi, and Zhaoer returned to Dinghai County. She had been restless all day, and when Zhao Di came back from Shuangyu Island in the afternoon, she also held back and did not ask, and waited for her sister to confess her good things to her. Who would have thought that after waiting for two days, there was no movement, and every day Zhaodi came and went in a hurry, and the two could not speak at all.
After holding it for another day, Zhao'er couldn't bear it any longer, and when Xue Tingxiang went to the Ship Division of Shuangyu Island, he also followed.
In the Tailong Firm, as always, it was deserted.
There are no individual customers in the business here, but if you come to the last one, it will not be a small business. So a lot of shops seem to be very small, but it does not mean that there is no business to do.
There was a door behind the business and the ticket number, because it was busy there, and when there was nothing to do, Chengzi and the others were sent to the next door, leaving Shen Ping alone to do the errands.
Zhao Di was angry in her heart, so she called Shen Ping around.
She was eaten and refused to accept the account, and she turned her face when she put up her pants!
On that day, the two of them turned upside down for a whole night, and in the end, even Zhao Di couldn't resist Shen Ping's physical strength. This guy is not at all like what people say, the first time is a soft-footed shrimp, it seems that the anger that has accumulated for more than 20 years is used on her.
When it was finally over, the two were exhausted and fell asleep hugging each other.
When she woke up the next day, Zhao Di found that she had been cleaned up. She was overjoyed, but Shen Ping, an honest man, kept his head down, and seemed to be a little shy.
Zhao Di didn't take it to heart, only when his character was like this. When she returned to the firm, she asked the people below to take Shen Ping's goods. She didn't even show up when the delivery was made and the money was signed. She was afraid that he would not think about it.
I wanted to wait for him to come to her to mention the marriage, but I never thought that someone would come, but he didn't mention it.
People are here to be buddies.
Well, the guy said it before, this guy is a dead man again, and Zhao Di didn't say anything. She thinks that the two of them are under the same roof, and it is cheap to talk and talk, so they should cultivate their feelings. She thought well, and people didn't answer her at all.
Not only did he not pick up the fight, but he also didn't mention the matter of marrying her. As if nothing happened that night, the anger in Zhao Di's heart was simply indescribable.
No, just caught Shen Ping and tossed it hard.
"Shen Ping, go and wipe the sign outside."
"Shen Ping, go and wipe the counter... sweep the floor..."
Sometimes Shen Ping was busy even though there was no work in the hands of others, and Zhao Di had to call him. Now even the guy in the business understands that this new guy has offended his aunt.
After that, Zhao Di ordered the guys to go to the ticket number, and no one doubted, thinking that my aunt was planning to punish this guy. Cheng Zi also had some ideas in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Auntie, the goods have arrived at the wharf. Mr. Jiang asked someone from the firm to watch them." Chengzi walked in from the outside and said.
In the past, Chengzi was always allowed to go, but today Zhaodi said, "Let Shen Ping go."
Standing not far away, Shen Ping, who was wiping the shelves, put down the rag in his hand, tidied up his clothes again, and came to Chengzi. He was new to the scene, and naturally he was given some pointers.
Cheng Zi sighed inwardly and said to Zhao Di, "Auntie, this is the first time for Shen Ping. I'm afraid he still doesn't understand the doorway, so let's take him there."
Zhao Di didn't say anything, just nodded.
Come back, it's already noon.
At the end of August, the autumn tiger is fierce. Shen Ping stood on the pier all morning, his clothes were soaked with sweat, his forehead was full of sweat, and his body was gray.
He entered the shop and hurried to the back.
There is a small yard behind the shop, and there is a well in the yard. Don't look at the well, it's unusual, but it's unusual to put it on Shuangyu Island.
Shuangyu Island is located in the sea, although it is not far from Dinghai County, it is an island in the end, and fresh water is scarce on the island. Except for the one well in Shibosi, there is only one single well here, which was originally dedicated by Xue Tingxiang. Keep it for Zhaoer.
As for other shops, it is not so convenient to use water. There is a well at each street entrance, and if the shops want to use water, they have to go there to dig. Therefore, the most lively place on Shuangyu Island, except for Shibosi and Bomaichang, is every well point.
Each well is guarded by special personnel from the Inspection Division. The island is mixed with people, and the water source is the top priority. Especially on a small island like Shuangyu Island, where fresh water is a source of water, it would be extremely troublesome if it was polluted.
Shen Ping drew water from the well, unbuttoned his shirt, took out a towel and dipped it in water to wipe his face and body.
Suddenly someone came from behind and said, "Cold water is used in this weather. People who don't know it think the boss is harsh."
It's Zhao Di.
Her eyebrows are not eyebrows, her eyes are not eyes, she is obviously unhappy.
Shen Ping snorted slightly: "I'm used to it, don't take it seriously." As he spoke, his subordinates wiped his face, neck and chest indiscriminately.
The drops of water meandered down the dark and firm texture, Zhao Di looked away, snorted, and planned to leave.
A voice came from behind.
"Don't be angry, it's not that I don't want to..." He said hesitantly, stumbling: "I just want to wait to earn more money before going to ask you for a kiss."
This remark ignited Zhao Di's fire at once, she turned around and bullied him in front of him, fiercely: "When I despise your money?"
He said softly: "I know you are not rare, but I have to prove that I have the ability to make you live a good life."
"I have money! I can earn it myself!"
"I know you have it, but that's not mine. Now that you have recruited a man to be an official, your status is different, and your business is so big. I'm poor and white, and I really don't have the face to propose marriage."
Seeing that she was so angry that she wanted to leave, she was always soft in front of her and calmed down like a man, and stretched out his hand to hold her: "give me some time, and when I make money, I will come to ask you to marry me."
"Then why didn't you think of this when you messed with people that night."
This made Shen Ping very embarrassed, and his face turned red: "It was my fault that night, I was impulsive."
Seeing him so soft, Zhao Di got angry, stretched out her white fingers, and tapped his strong chest: "Oh, you don't know now, and when you mess with people, you will die."
"I can't do it next time."
"Do you want another time? Kiss me."
Shen Ping didn't expect her to change the subject so quickly, and was stunned.
"Are you kissing or not!"
"me… "
"If you don't kiss, I'll find someone else to kiss." Zhao Di was about to leave, but Shen Ping grabbed her: "I kiss, I can't kiss."
Shen Ping looked around, pulled Zhao Di into the utility room next to her, and closed the door.
Zhao Di leaned against the door, and Shen Ping lowered his head and kissed him.
This guy doesn't know how to kiss. It's like a cow drinking water. If you catch it, it's a mess. It's not as fun as the person you used to be, but it just makes Zhao Di excited.
She wrapped around his sturdy neck, and her thin white fingers unknowingly touched the back of his neck, feeling a little wrong. She pushed him away and asked, "What's wrong with your back?" She felt something was wrong yesterday, but unfortunately she didn't have the time to think about it, but now she thinks something is wrong.
Shen Ping paused uncomfortably: "Nothing."
But there was something in his expression, Zhao Di insisted on seeing it, but Shen Ping couldn't beat her, so he could only show her.
I saw the strong and well-textured back, which was supposed to declare the strong beauty of a man, but unfortunately this beauty was destroyed. Several welt marks, about two feet long, meandered from the back of his neck to the waist of his trousers, with knots growing on them, making people unable to help guess what kind of injury he suffered in the first place that left them behind. kind of scars.
"You were beaten? Who beat you?"
This kind of injury was obviously not left by outsiders, and Shen Ping didn't plan to hide it any more, and said in a low voice, "It's my father."
"Manager Shen?"
After Zhao Di was stunned, she said in a shrill voice, "Tell me, why did he beat you? Was it because of me? Also, why did you leave the Shen family, and why did the Shen family let you go?"
The muscles on Shen Ping's back couldn't help but tremble. He went to put on his clothes silently, and he didn't tell the truth until Zhao Di forced him to ask him again.
What Shen Ping did back then might be able to hide from the people above, but he definitely couldn't hide from his father, General Manager Shen. After the incident, the person entrusted by Shen Ping to boil the medicine frightened and confessed to Director Shen.
The matter was exposed naturally. In fact, Shen Ping didn't plan to hide it from his father. He had long known that this day would come.
That day, Director Shen made a big fuss, no matter what Shen Ping's mother tried to persuade, it was useless. At night, the lights in his room were on all night, and the next day he called Shen Ping over and asked him to leave the Shen house.
Even though Shen Ping had expected it, he was still a little caught off guard.
As a servant of the Shen family, his ancestors have been servants of the Shen family for generations. Now the master above wants to let Sulan die and the child in her stomach to die, but Shen Ping actually fainted and dared to do something.
This is bullying!
Whenever the Shen family knew that Shen Ping was a dead end, none of his family members or even those relatives in his family could survive.
Shen Ping agreed.
But how to leave is a difficult problem. The director Shen didn't dare to say it when he killed him. In the end, Shen Ping could only pretend to make a mistake in the pawnshop. After that, Director Shen took this opportunity to make a big fuss, not only flogging his son, but also banishing him from the Shen family.
Shen Fu sighed in his heart, and knew that it was Director Shen who killed his relatives righteously, and thought that Shen Ping had been by his side for many years, so he released his slave body and let him leave the Shen family to make a living on his own.
Since then, Shen Ping has left Pingyang Mansion and disappeared in front of people.
…
"You fool." Zhao Di cried while covering her mouth.
"I'm not stupid, as long as you're fine, I don't care what I do." Shen Ping smiled nonchalantly.
"You're an idiot! You're too stupid to be saved."
Zhao Di cried and rubbed her face on his chest indiscriminately. Shen Ping stretched out his hand, he was still hesitating whether to hug her, but seeing her cry like this, he sighed and pulled her into his arms.
The two of them kissed for some reason, more intense than before, quite a bit of dry wood and raging fire.
Zhao Di's clothes were loosened, and she unequivocally pulled at his belt, and when they finally joined together, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Outside the door, Zhao'er was awakened by the sound of footsteps behind her.
She hurriedly turned around, waved her hand as if nothing had happened, and hurried Chengzi to the front.
"My sister is talking to Shen Ping, don't let anyone disturb them."
Chengzi is not too young, no matter how stupid he is, he knows what happened. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of Madam, he pretended to be unaware and said, "You know what happened."
Zhao'er nodded again, and left the firm in a fling.
She went to the shipping company opposite, and went to the table to pour tea after entering the door. After finally drinking the catechu, her throat was no longer so dry, and she complained to Xue Tingxiang.
"You said my sister, what is this called!"
Xue Tingxiang was reading the official document. Hearing that, he looked up at her and said with a smile: "The love of a concubine, the fire of dry wood and fire."
"When are they going to talk about it? I heard Chengzi said that my sister has been trying to torment Brother Shen recently. I can't understand the trouble."
He picked up the pen and wrote something on the paper, and said as he wrote, "You care about what others are doing, and you like to be nosy. You can't get involved in this kind of thing."
Zhao'er hummed, went to sit beside him, and watched him write.
After watching for a while, she stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go get some food to eat."
After the two of them finished their lunch, they went to rest in the back compartment. After sleeping for half an hour, Xue Tingxiang stayed in Shibosi, while Zhao'er planned to return to Dinghai. She wanted to see the current situation of the apprenticeship class.
This idea was given to her by Xue Tingxiang. Now that the business is getting bigger and bigger, just pointing at a few main people to run outside, I am afraid that people will be exhausted and too busy. So Zhao'er specially asked people to set up an apprenticeship class to accept some children from poor families who were innocent.
Those who are qualified can become teachers and sign a 20-year contract with Tailong, starting with a buddy, and those who are excellent can be promoted as shopkeepers and managers.
This apprenticeship class has been running for some time, like Chengzi and the others, they are apprentices from the apprenticeship class.
Tailong firm pays high wages, teaches you skills, and also subsidizes rice and grain. Many local people in Dinghai send their children of school age over, and they want their children to learn craftsmanship, so that they can eat together in the future.
No, as the apprentice class gradually became known, more and more people came to study, from more than 20 people to more than 100 people.
All in all, recruiting is open to anyone, but they must be good seedlings.
And the teaching place of the apprentice class has also expanded from the previous one room to two rooms. The place is in the east of the county, not far from the Xue Mansion.
When Zhao'er went, these apprentices were reciting Tao Zhugong's business classics.
The children of these poor families are illiterate, so the teacher in charge of teaching them must first teach them to read, and then learn business, accounting, planning, etc. It takes at least half a year for an apprentice to go from school to apprenticeship. Smart or not.
"Ma'am." Seeing Zhao'er appearing in front of the door, Mr. hurriedly stood up and called out.
Zhao'er waved his hand and smiled: "You continue, I'll take a look."
These apprentices were staring at Zhao'er's back curiously. The husband coughed twice before continuing Lang Lang's endorsement.
Zhao'er wandered around and saw that Xuezhai was clean and tidy, and the meat and vegetables in the kitchen were the freshest, so he felt relieved and went out.
As soon as she walked to the door, Xiaohong, dressed in men's clothes, hurried over.
"Madam, I have found you. It took a long time for the slave to ask, and then I realized that you are here."
"What, is something wrong?"
"There is a letter from Suzhou, saying that it is very urgent, and the slave has hurriedly brought it to you."
Zhao'er opened the letter and saw that the big owner of Hongchang Tickets had returned, and the other party said that he promised to see her.
