six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 181 Matchmaking
On this side, Su Liu and Chen Shi were talking about their stepfather, while on the other side, Cao Mingzhu was also babbling about Cao Kui.

"Father, what do you think is the matter with you? How did you make your feet look like this?" Cao Mingzhu pointed to Cao Kui's zongzi-like feet, and her heart ached.

"Isn't this all an accident?" Cao Kui laughed with a guilty conscience.

"Accidents are accidents." Cao Mingzhu obviously didn't believe it, and said, "Then what's the matter with you and Aunt Chen? I can see that you are protecting her, Dad, maybe it's because you are protecting Aunt Chen that you are here?" Are you hurt?"

"It's none of her business." Cao Kui said hastily: "I was not careful. Besides, it was chaotic at that time, and I can protect one by one."

Cao Mingzhu squinted her eyes, as if she was weighing his words, she felt guilty when she saw Cao Kui, her ears were a little red.

Seeing her, Cao Mingzhu asked tentatively, "Father, what do you think of Aunt Chen?"

"Huh? She's pretty good."

"I also think it's pretty good." Cao Mingzhu said with a smile: "She is gentle, considerate, kind, and cooks well. She is a good wife and mother."

Cao Kui didn't say a word, he saw Chen's behavior as a person who kept his duty. I really don't know what her former man thought, such a good woman could be abandoned.

"Father, mother has been away for many years, and my daughter has grown up, father, you should find someone to accompany you." Cao Mingzhu sat beside him and said: "I have been urging you to find another person. In the past, your daughter was young, and you Afraid that your daughter will be bullied, now that your daughter is about to marry, you should think about it for yourself. I think Aunt Chen is a good woman."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't ruin your reputation." Cao Kui frowned.

"Father, I don't want to see you alone." Cao Mingzhu put her arms around his shoulders, her voice choked up.

I don't want to see his lonely figure reflected on the window, and I don't want him to stare at the portrait of his mother in a daze. If she gets married in the future and father is alone again, how can she rest assured?

If Cao Kui became interested in Chen Shi, she would be happy, after all, it meant that her father was about to come out, besides, she would feel relieved to hand him over to Chen Shi.

Cao Kui was a little distracted, and said: "You haven't even made an engagement yet, let's talk about it when you get married." He changed the subject, and said earnestly: "Zhu Er, you are the jewel in my father's palm, and my father can't see you being wronged. Dad also understands what he is thinking. It's just that we can't afford to climb up to such a family."

Cao Mingzhu was stunned, and then she blushed and lowered her head: "Father, what are you talking about? My daughter doesn't understand."

"Although Daddy is a businessman, he is also a father. You are Daddy's treasure. Daddy doesn't want to see you being wronged." Cao Kui straightened her head and said, "If Song Fei asks, Daddy will answer. If you can't, Zhu'er, give up your mind."

When Cao Mingzhu heard this, her face turned from red to white, and she looked at Cao Kui in a daze.

"My Cao Kui's daughter, you can't be wronged. If you want to compromise, you might as well hire someone else. At least, you can still be your own master."

Cao Mingzhu hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Father, I understand." Tears fell down one by one.

Seeing this, Cao Kui sighed.

The Song family is good, but how can such a family value their status as a businessman?If he is greedy for wealth, even if he sends the entire Cao family, he is willing to marry the Song family for greater benefits.

However, although he is a businessman, he is not very keen on money. He just enjoys the process of making money. In his opinion, even if the mountains are full of gold and silver, he is not as good as Cao Mingzhu.

The pearl he holds in his palm is worthy of being the best man in the world, and he doesn't want to wrong his only pearl.Therefore, unless the Song family came to ask, he would respond, and he would never send his daughter up.

. . . . . .

Su Liu originally planned to return to Da'ao Village after the Lantern Festival. After all, after the Chinese New Year, many things will be busy, such as opening a donkey-hide gelatin workshop, collecting peppers, and shops. She is really busy .

But the Lantern Festival caused such a commotion, and Cao Kui was injured again, so he had to stay for a few more days. Even so, Su Liu was not idle. Taking advantage of Cao Kui and Song Fei's presence, he decided to discuss the operation of the workshop. thing.

Zhuangzi is the Zhuangzi of the Cao family, and it only needs to be slightly modified. The key is the training of the workers and masters in making glue.

Donkey-hide gelatin is a precious thing, the prescription is the most important thing, and it must not be leaked, so the staff must be loyal, otherwise, if the prescription is leaked, they will still sing?

Su Liu proposed supervision and responsibility management. Each process should have a department, and if something goes wrong, that side should be held accountable. Naturally, within a department, there must be mutual supervision for more than three months.

Purchasing department, production department, sales department, logistics department, Su Liu is managed completely according to the company's charter, and each department has a supervisor. If the people under it go wrong, the supervisor must be the first to be held accountable.

Moreover, in order to facilitate mutual supervision among colleagues, she also prepared a report box. If anyone finds out that there is something wrong with the workshop or something that is not good for the workshop, they can report it anonymously. If the upper management finds out the truth, they will be rewarded.On the contrary, if the reporter is found to be maliciously discrediting others, he will also be punished.

Su Liu's suggestion was very good, Cao Kui and Song Fei had no objection, and even applied Su Liu's method to their own business.

The work of the workshop is going on so intensively. Regarding the matter of raising donkeys on the farm, Cao Kui has already sent people to buy donkey seeds for freeing.Of course, donkeys cannot be raised in a day or two, so the purchase of donkey skins has not been let go.

On this day, after talking about the workshop, Chen Shi and Cao Mingzhu came with a food box. Su Liu saw Cao Kui's eyes lit up sharply.

"Mother, you are here." Su Liu stepped forward to take her food box.

"I made soup in the front. It's freezing today. I don't know when you're talking about it, so I brought it for you to eat." Chen said with a smile, and glanced at Cao Kuina again, and quickly turned away.

"Let me guess, is it peanut chicken feet soup or pig's trotters soup today?" Su Liu sniffed in front of the food box like a puppy.

Because Cao Kui's injury was on the foot, Chen also felt sorry for it, so these days, the soup that strengthens the muscles and bones is always boiled. The name is that everyone can drink it, but the main thing is for Cao Kui.

After coming down several times, everyone had a tacit understanding, but because both of them were very old, they didn't pierce the window paper.

Chen blushed slightly, and said: "You guys eat, I'll go to the front and eat with Su Xiao and the others." Saying that, he was about to leave.

Su Liu quickly took her and said: "Mother, it's not a coincidence, today I made an appointment with Ning Guang and the others to go to Huayuan to enjoy the plum blossoms, and we young people will go, Sister Mingzhu, what do you think? ?" She bit the young man's words emphatically, and winked at Cao Mingzhu and the others.

"Yeah yeah."

"It's almost time now, mother, I'll trouble you to serve Patriarch Cao." Saying that, Su Liu put the food box back into her hand, and winked at Ning Guang and the others again.

Everyone understood, laughed and walked out, but then hid outside the door, pierced the window paper, and peeked inside.

Chen Shi was very embarrassed, standing in the hall with a food box at a loss, besides Su Changsheng, this was the first time she was alone in a room with a man.

"What did the eldest sister cook today? I'm just hungry." Cao Kui was also a little embarrassed, but he was a man anyway, so he spoke first, stood up again, and wanted to walk towards Mrs. Chen.

After only taking two steps, he took a breath of cold air, completely forgetting that his foot was hurt. This exertion, the pain was so painful that he almost fell, Chen quickly stepped forward to support him, and said with anger and anger : "If you have bad feet, don't move around."

Cao Kui obediently let her help her back to her position, and looked at her with a smirk: "Didn't I forget?"

Mrs. Chen gouged him out, opened the food box, which contained steaming pig's trotter soup, took out another bowl and spoon, and handed it over: "Here."

Cao Kui took it, and the fragrant bone-flavored soup penetrated into the tip of his nose, and he said with a silly smile: "The soup and vegetables you make taste very good."

According to Zhu'er, Mrs. Chen personally cooks his meals and soup these days, and everything tastes very good. Mingzhu is right, Mrs. Chen is a good wife and loving mother.

Chen seemed embarrassed, lowered her head, and said falteringly: "Well, thank you for that night."

"Huh?" Cao Kui turned his head and saw that Mrs. Chen lowered her head slightly, revealing her beautiful profile, so demure, she couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "Thank you, it's only natural for a man to protect a woman."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen raised her head and met his fiery eyes. Both of them were startled and a little uncomfortable. They coughed and turned their heads away.

The two were silent, but the people outside the door were anxious, and Cao Mingzhu even said: "Oh, my father is so stupid."

"That's right, why can't your father say a few nice words to coax my mother?" Su Liu also turned around and looked inside.

"Do you think we should give them a push?" Cao Mingzhu asked eagerly.

Mother has been away for so long, and father has always been alone. She has long hoped that he will marry another one. Even if it is not for other reasons, she will always have a companion when she grows old.

Now the target, Chen Shi, has a gentle temperament, and she and Su Liu and the others are like sisters, so naturally she is happy to see what happens.

"My mother is thin-skinned, please don't, if one is not good, it will be over if you make a fool of yourself." Su Liu sighed, and said: "Let it be."

Matching this matter is easy to say, and it must be done at the right time.

"That's the only way to go." Cao Mingzhu pursed her lips, turned her head, and seeing Song Fei looking at her teasingly, she couldn't help but blush, bit her lip and lowered her head.

"Let's go, let's go to Huayuan." Song Fei patted Ning Guang on the shoulder.

Ning Guang's eyes drifted to the claws on his shoulders, he snorted softly, then gave Su Liu a disdainful look, and strode away.

Su Liu rubbed her nose and followed quickly: "Wait for me."
