Chapter 152 The Breath of Life
Jiang Ci opened the cupboard, which contained bedding, and then opened the drawer under the window.
"This room has everything you need. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you."
"it is good."
"The people living in front are all men. I will go and tell them not to come here later, but you must be on guard against others. Lock the door when you go to bed at night."
"understood."
"The servants we bought back to work in the soap factory are all paid, and you two are no exception."
The two men looked at Jiang Ci in surprise.
"But it doesn't mean that I will provide you with food and drink, as well as wages. First of all, for meals, you need to buy vegetables and cook for yourself. Breakfast is right next to you.
You also need to pay rent for the house you live in now, and you have to pay back the money I spent on buying you and the money for your medical treatment.
I will ask someone to send two bundles of firewood for cooking today. After that, I can either go to the foot of the mountain to collect some, or buy it from the villagers.
Oh, and I will leave you enough money to live on every month."
Zhou Xi suddenly felt overwhelmed after hearing this. Now he and the young master owed a lot of money.
Han Zhao's approach to considering issues is different from Zhou Xi's.
He admired the management method and rhetoric that Jiang Ci came up with.
Let the servants he bought work for them willingly and enthusiastically.
In just half a day, he was already full of admiration for Jiang Ci.
I didn't expect that a guy in this village would be so powerful and have such a brain.
Jiang Ci looked at their reactions and once again verified the effectiveness of this method.
It was worth it that he had thought about this win-win solution for a long time.
"I just need a cashier now. Who of you two can do it?"
Zhou Xi hurried over, "A Zhao, come here. A Zhao is quick and accurate in calculating accounts. I am strong enough to do other work."
On the way, Han Zhao asked Zhou Xi not to call him Young Master anymore, as it was not the right thing to do, but Zhou Xi never changed.
Nowadays, if you have a boss you can no longer call him young master.
"That's fine, but Zhou Xi, you should take care of Han Zhao for the time being. When his health gets better, you can go back to work at the soap factory."
Just settled the two of them down.
……
Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng went to the mountain to chop firewood.
Lin Jingsheng took a machete and chopped the dry branches one by one, and after cutting them, he looked at the appropriate length.
Jiang Ci followed behind him and picked up the bags. After picking up a bag, she put it in a pile next to her.
The two of them were chatting non-stop. Jiang Ci told Lin Jingsheng about where he lived in modern times and some things that sounded incredible to Lin Jingsheng.
"But luckily our summer here is not very hot. There are no fans or air conditioners. Otherwise, I don't know how I would survive."
“It’s because this summer is not hot.”
"Ah?" Jiang Ci was stunned. What does this mean? Is today really an accident?
"This summer is a little colder than previous years, probably because it rained more. In the past, it would not rain for half a month or a month, and it was hot every day. But even if the summer is hot in the future, we can still buy ice."
"Yes! We can also buy ice. Money is not enough this summer, but it will be different next year."
Lin Jingsheng looked at the piles of chopped firewood over there and felt that it was about enough.
"These are enough. I won't cut any more."
Lin Jingsheng tied the piles of firewood together with ropes, and then took a long stick placed aside.
When they had picked up two piles, Jiang Ci stopped them and said, "That's enough. I'll pick up the rest."
"I can't bear to leave Ah Ci with all the things he's carrying. Give me two more."
After Jiang Ci revealed the secret to Lin Jingsheng, there were no more obstacles between them.
Although there is no change in their daily interactions, I always feel that their relationship has taken a step further.
Jiang Ci also felt that Lin Jingsheng was speaking more directly.
Lin Jingsheng moved the remaining two piles over and picked them up with a long stick.
"Aci will take care of this later."
"Ok."
In fact, he could carry all the firewood on his back and he wouldn't feel tired carrying it from the mountain back home.
He could let Jiang Ci do nothing and just jump around beside him easily.
But he knew Jiang Ci was unwilling to do that, and he would rather the two of them bear the responsibility together.
Before, when he didn't know Jiang Ci's secret, he had lamented many times how a young boy like A Ci could be so strong-willed.
Later, when I learned that they were both men, I instantly understood Jiang Ci's strong-willed and stubborn attitude towards some small matters.
"Let's go to town tomorrow and buy some cotton cloth so that mom can make two sets of thicker clothes."
"You can buy some cotton and add some thin cotton to the clothes you make. The clothes will be light and warm to wear."
"Okay, if that's the case, we need to buy more cotton and change the quilt we're covering ourselves with now."
"Well, let's go in two days. I have something to do tomorrow."
Lin Jingsheng was curious, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Ci smiled slyly, and then it turned into a genuine smile, "Let's go to Jiangjiawan to get back some of my things. If we don't go now, I'm afraid he will lose all of them."
"Okay, I will definitely help Ah Ci to calm down the situation when the time comes."
"Oh, by the way, Jingchen should be back today, and mom should be making braised pork at home."
"I got home just in time for dinner."
Their figures were made particularly slender by the setting sun, and behind them were long shadows stretched by the setting sun, as if they had merged into one with the earth.
Walking on the way home facing the sunset, stepping on the fallen leaves, making a crisp rustling sound.
With your lover by your side, you are burdened with the smell of worldly affairs, and talking about gossips about family matters.
At night, Jiang Ci nestled in Lin Jingsheng's arms and said these words to him.
It would be very warm if you ignored the hands wandering over his body.
Jiang Ci slapped away the hand that was touching his waist and grabbed Lin Jingsheng's ear, "Stop it, I'm talking to you."
"I just touch it, but I don't do it."
Jiang Ci looked at Lin Jingsheng with a look that said, "Do you think I trust you?"
Having said this, if you leave him alone, he will soon say, "I'm just rubbing my hands, I won't go in."
Lin Jingsheng rubbed his ear that had been pulled, and said in a voice that Jiang Ci could hear clearly, "It's really a torture to follow me. I get bitten, pulled, and sometimes twisted."
Jiang Ci couldn't bear to see Lin Jingsheng condemning him, as if he was unhappy and uncomfortable every time he kissed his ear.
Jiang Ci propped herself up. Lin Jingsheng didn't understand what Jiang Ci was going to do, but he soon found out.
Jiang Ci looked at the ear that had turned red after he had grabbed and rubbed Lin Jingsheng's ear, and leaned closer to the ear.
Lin Jingsheng could clearly feel Jiang Ci's breath hitting his ears.
