Chapter 722: The Nest Of The Bed
Editor: Henyee Translations
Hmm? Next month? So soon?
Gu Yundong was in a daze when she realized that time had passed in a flash. She had been in Yongfu Village for almost a year.
“Miss, we’re home.” Tong Shuitao’s voice came from outside.
Gu Yundong looked up at Shao Qingyuan, who was still waiting for her answer. He chuckled and jumped off the carriage. “Help me carry Big Black in.”
Shao Qingyuan couldn’t help but laugh. He was actually a little resentful that time had passed too slowly. He felt that it was too cold when he built such a big house. He only lacked a mistress at home. If only they could get married as soon as possible.
He got out of the carriage and carried Big Black down.
Tong Ping had already told them about Gu Yundong’s return, so Madam Tong and her daughter-in-law had already prepared the room.
The moment Gu Yundong entered, she instantly felt relaxed.
She put away the things she had brought from the prefectural city. When she saw Shao Qingyuan carrying Big Black in, she immediately got busy making a nest for it.
Father Tong wanted to take over, but Big Black had just arrived at an unfamiliar place and was still uneasy. His entire body was on guard, and he kept shrinking back.
Gu Yundong could only let Father Tong go out first, indicating that she could do it with Shao Qingyuan.
Currently, the conditions were limited. Gu Yundong wanted to make a simple nest for it to live in. Later, she would find a carpenter to build a wooden house for Big Black. No matter what, it would be a member of the family in the future. They had to take good care of it.
Shao Qingyuan looked at Big Black enviously. He also wanted a nest—the kind of nest that was already a bed.
He turned around and went out to get the big basket. There seemed to be one in the backyard. He should be able to use it for Big Black to sleep for the time being.
He had just walked out of the door when he saw Tong An rushing over.
When he heard that Gu Yundong was back, he hurried over to report his work.
However, before she could step through the door, she heard a voice from outside. “Is this the Gu family? We’re here to look for work.”
Shao Qingyuan immediately guessed that it was the mother and son from before. He immediately said to Tong An, “Go and take a look. If they’re not suitable, just send them away.”
Tong An was stunned. He subconsciously turned around and left.
However, after taking a few steps, he felt that something was amiss. Why did it sound like Young Master Shao really hoped that the person who came was not suitable?
However, Tong An also felt that it was inappropriate. He had already released the news about the recruitment the day before yesterday. It had already ended yesterday.
The other party had only arrived today, making people feel that they did not take him seriously.
Tong An’s first impression was not good, but he did not expect the other party to be an Elementary Scholar.
After all, talents were rare. The workshop was filled with farmers, and there were not many who could read. The other party was an Elementary Scholar, so Tong An felt that he could still consider the application appropriately. If the man really stayed, the workshop might be able to attract more well-educated people in the future.
Gu Yundong naturally heard that cry, but she did not care.
It was agreed that the first round of recruitment would be handed over to Tong An, even if the other party was a knowledgeable Elementary Scholar. She did not intend to interfere.
If the Elementary Scholar passed Tong An’s assessment, Gu Yundong would just have to wait and see.
She only took the basket from Shao Qingyuan. This basket was very big and not tall. Even with Big Black’s size, it could completely fit in.
Gu Yundong had placed an old and unused blanket and some clothes under it. They were all clean and soft.
She stretched out her hand and tested it. When she felt that it was okay, she let Big Black in.
Unexpectedly, a sharp cry suddenly came from outside.
