100: Returning to the Imperial Capital
The truck was left at the door of the house. Mama Wang and his eldest auntie saw it when they returned, but his auntie left with his big cousin without coming in. Since coming to work for Wang Cheng's family, the mother and son's living conditions had improved a lot. A few days ago, his eldest auntie also took his big cousin to the hospital, but the results were still the same.
Wang Cheng heard a noise from the living room and guessed that Mama Wang was back. He brought out the freshly roasted chestnuts, and the scent wafted out. The smell was appetizing.
"Mom, you came back at the right time, try my roasted chestnuts."
Mama Wang glanced at him and said, "What were you doing last night, you didn't answer my call."
"Participating in a class reunion." Wang Cheng said smoothly.
"Didn’t your elder brother say that you were accompanying the boss to work?"
"The boss's place of business was the same as the place where my classmates met. At first, I was just going to leave for the party, but we later found that it was the same place so we could go together. At that time, my classmates were toasting me, and it was too noisy, so I didn't hear it.” Wang Cheng wiped cold sweat, "By the way, mom, I have something to discuss with you."
"You say it." Mama Wang started to taste the chestnuts he roasted after she sat down. She hadn't made such chestnuts before, because there was no oven at home then, and this oven was bought some time ago.
Wang Cheng sat next to her. "I plan to hire two more workers. It's better if they are familiar with Shanhai City."
"Because of Chengping's side?" Mama Wang thought this as soon as she heard him.
"Dad is getting older. I'm afraid he's too tired to look after the shop alone, and I can't keep him watching the shop all the time. In addition, I need a person who can help with delivery."
But would this be too much? Their family now spent more than their income. They were not very clear about the second son's financial situation, so they were worried that he had spent too much money and was about to use it all up. One had been hired for the north mountain, and four for the fruit mountain. Now another two. They had to spend more than 20,000 yuan a month. Such a large sum couldn’t be imagined before or even after the failure of Ning’an’s company.
"Mom, don't worry, since I brought it up, I will definitely not be overloaded." Wang Cheng thought that his capital was almost spent, but after the last business with Boss Xie, his card was recharged again. Although it was not enough to fill previous vacancies, the next year's harvest would only be better than this year’s, so he wasn’t without a chance to make money.
"Then you can take care of it, Mom will help pay attention." The son had promised, so Mama Wang would no longer worry.
"Thank you, mom."
Mama Wang went to cook, and Wang Cheng went out to the north mountain and the fruit mountain for a round, especially the north mountain. After the medicinal materials were planted, someone needed to weed regularly, so he hired a relatively honest villager in the Guan’s Village. At a young age, an accident had happened to him, and one of his hands was gone, so no one was willing to ask him for a job anywhere. His family depended on his wife to support them. Papa Wang had pity on him, in addition to the fact that he was very hard-working. He only had one hand, but he was no slower than a man with two hands. Facts proved that his choice was right.
"Uncle Qi, do you want to eat fruit?" Wang Cheng shouted towards the middle of the field, at the bent over, middle-aged man who was pulling weeds. He was the villager. The fruits on Wang Cheng’s hand were just picked from the trees of the north mountain, fresh and very good.
