"Put it here, put it here. ”

Zhang's mother beckoned a few workers to place the furniture sent from the furniture factory one by one.

This is a typical set of solid wood carved hollow furniture in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, a coffee table, an Arhat bed, and several matching tables and chairs, the styles are very beautiful, and they are also very classical, and they are not bad in the living room.

"Sir, where is this Arhat bed?" Zhang's mother couldn't think of where to put this Arhat bed for a while, so she had to run to the restaurant and ask Huo Yaowen, who was drinking soup.

"Do you think it's good to put that?" Huo Yaowen glanced at the wooden couch outside when he heard this.

"It's not suitable to be placed in the living room, I wonder if I should put it in the upstairs gentleman's study, if there are guests on weekdays, there is a place to rest and drink tea in the study." ”

After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she smiled and said, "I have seen this Luohan bed in the old patron's house before, but now it is rare for anyone to use it." ”

"It was also sent by someone else, Mom Zhang, you said to put it in the study, then put it in the study. Huo Yaowen took a sip of soup with a spoon, and immediately felt a delicious taste in his mouth, and praised with a smile: "Mom Zhang, your soup is good today, and it tastes very fresh." ”

"Hehe, if you like to drink, Mr. drink more, and I'll serve it to you later." ”

Seeing that he liked to drink, Zhang's mother also smiled happily, turned around and went to the living room, beckoned a few workers who were resting there, and carried the Luohan bed to the study upstairs.

After a while, the workers went downstairs one after another, and Zhang's mother sent them out, and ran to the kitchen to bring out a large pot of fish soup as thick as milk.

Huo Yaowen looked at such a big cauldron, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "So much?"

"In the morning, I went to the vegetable market to see that there was a yellow croaker seller, which was quite big and cheap, so I bought two more and came back. ”

"This is too much, how can I finish drinking alone, Mom Zhang, you take a bowl and serve it too." ”

"No, no, I tasted a little when I made the soup, sir, you can drink it alone, if you can't finish it, I'll put it in the refrigerator and I'll heat it up again tomorrow morning." ”

"It doesn't taste good overnight. Huo Yaowen said.

Zhang's mother was nervous, and hurriedly said: "Then I'll do less next time, I'll do a little more today, I'll pay attention next time." ”

"It's okay Mom Zhang, you take a bowl and drink it. ”

Seeing Huo Yaowen's insistence, Zhang's mother had no choice but to go into the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks, and when she came out, she filled herself with a small half bowl, and stood next to her and drank it in small sips.

Huo Yaowen didn't say anything about letting Zhang's mother sit down and drink, because he had said it when he hired Zhang's mother a long time ago, but she insisted on not sitting, saying that only the master's family could sit and eat, Mr. took pity on her, she was grateful for her kindness, but the rules are the rules.

Later, I persuaded it a few times, but Zhang's mother was still like this, and Huo Yaowen never mentioned it again when he saw this, because it was not good to mention it too much.

Speaking of Zhang's mother, when she was hired, Huo Yaowen took into account the privacy of the family, and also inquired and understood a lot before choosing to hire her.

Zhang's mother's experience can be regarded as the remake of Sister Tao in Andy's movie.

When he was a teenager, he left home from Shunde, Guangdong, first in Nanyang Singapore with his fellow villagers, and worked as a nanny for a few years, and then came to Hong Kong with the original client's family, and worked for more than 20 years.

Until a few years ago, the old man of the old patron's family died, and the juniors wanted to immigrate to Canada, originally wanted to take Zhang's mother to go together, after all, they have been employed for more than 20 years, and the younger generations were mostly taken care of by Zhang's mother, and they had some feelings for each other, but Zhang's mother read her homeland in Guangdong, and she didn't know foreign languages, so it was a problem to go there to buy vegetables, so she shook her head and refused.

In the past two years, Zhang's mother mostly worked as a casual worker in other people's homes, occasionally taking care of the elderly and children, until Huo Yaowen hired her to be a full-time nanny, which can be regarded as continuing to have a stable job.

Huo Yaowen also has a lot of sympathy for women in a special era like Zhang's mother, because he has seen the movie "Sister Peach", but he didn't stupidly ask her why she didn't get married, but she took care of her more on weekdays, and her monthly salary was more than that of ordinary nannies and maids.

At the beginning, when listening to Zhang's mother's experience like "Sister Peach" in the movie, Huo Yaowen also specially asked her if she had bought a property in Hong Kong, if she had this need and idea, you could tell him that he would help contact a better house for her to retire in the future.

After all, the rising housing prices in Hong Kong in the future are enough for Zhang's mother to live a peaceful old age alone.

But Zhang's mother said that she has a house, in her hometown of Shunde, not long after she came to Hong Kong for more than four years, there was a group of old sisters from the same township who combed themselves like her, and asked her if she wanted to build a house in her hometown, so as to plan for the future pension.

Zhang's mother, who was only twenty-five or sixteen years old at the time, directly took out all the savings of the past ten years, and jointly built a residence with several sisters on a vacant land near the village of Shunde's hometown, which had been built in 50 years, called "Bingyutang".

Last time, when Huo Yaowen, the Shugang City runner and arranger, said that he didn't understand literature and only knew how to sell bizarre stories, Huo Yaowen thought about whether to write "Sister Peach".

It's just that considering that there are still a lot of self-combing girls like Mama Zhang in Hong Kong, I am afraid that after writing it, it will be difficult to guarantee that no one will look at it differently, so I gave up this idea and wrote "Under the Lion Rock" that has influenced generations of Hong Kong people.

......

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Huo Yaowen had breakfast, and when he was writing the second part of "Harry Potter" in the study, he received a call from Yao Wenjie, who said that Mark of the American Bantan Book Company sent a telegram urging the boss to write the second part of "1999".

Since "1999" was published in the United States in 69, it has been almost three years now, and the second Huo Yaowen has not been written for a long time, although he also created a "Virtual World" during the period, but for fans of "1999", they are very eager to know what will happen when the Alpha Star people come from the distant Trisolar!

The fan-like ending of the first part is infinitely reverie, but after waiting for three years and never seeing the shadow of the second part, it finally made many book fans angry and jointly wrote a letter to Bantan Books to urge the draft.

Not long ago, he handed over "Game of Thrones" to Yao Wenjie and asked him to mail the sorted out "A Thousand Success Stories" and "Game of Thrones" to the UK to Lito.

After Litto received the parcel in the mail, he sent a telegram back the same day and began to urge the second part of "Harry Potter".

said that the current sales of "Harry" in the UK are very stable, and the second work is urgently needed, so Huo Yaowen started to write.

Now that there are many more Mark reminders, he regrets opening so many pits.

So for many days, while there was nothing to look for him, Anna was busy with the affairs of the Governor's Palace, and Huo Yaowen was at home, hurrying up to catch up with the manuscript.

But who knew that after only a few days of nesting, someone came to the door and came to him to complain.

"Mr. Huo, there's really no way!"

As soon as Fu Zheng entered the door, when he saw Huo Yaowen, he ran over and said with a bitter face.

Huo Yaowen picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Fu Zheng, and said unhurriedly: "What's the matter? Didn't you just raise a sum of money last month and give it to the faculty and staff every month?"

"Yes, more than a hundred, dispensable!"

Fu Zheng sighed: "Now many faculty members have resigned, and I know more than 80 people, and I have heard many people from the Faculty Guild say that they are ready to resign after teaching this semester." ”
