Ren Rongyan and his classmates only took half a day off as they had to rush back to school for classes the next morning. They wandered around outside for more than an hour before going home.

The next morning, when Ji Luo woke up naturally, Ren Rongyan had already left and went to school in Xu's car. Peng Jinsong also took a ride back to the unit.

Zeng Minlan got up early in the morning to make breakfast. She cooked sweet potato porridge, steamed a basket of cornmeal buns, and followed her sister's instructions to cook a pot of boiled eggs, one egg per person to supplement nutrition.

After finishing breakfast, Ji Luo took the car keys and said, "Brother Erping, take your luggage. I will take you to the warehouse to report now."

"Okay, come right away."

Wang Erping had prepared everything last night. He packed daily necessities in a backpack and carried a washbasin, bucket and other things in his hands.

Ji Luo changed his shoes and came out. He saw Zeng Minlan nagging him left and right, as if he was going on a long trip. She looked very worried. She smiled and said, "Sister Minlan, come with us. Go to see where Brother Erping works and come back with me."

"Sister, you go with your brother-in-law. There is not much work to do at home. It's not too late to wash the clothes when you come back." Zeng Minfang asked her to go with her to take a look.

"Okay, I'll wash it when I get back. Don't move. Just lie down at home and rest."

Zeng Minlan immediately went back to her room to change her shoes, and then came out to tell her nephew who was still eating breakfast, "Kangzi, auntie is going out for a while. Before I come back, you stay at home to look after mom and don't run around."

"Aunt, I know." Kangzi responded incoherently.

Ji Luo drove fast. When he sent someone over to report in, the masters in the warehouse were still eating breakfast. The breakfast consisted of steamed buns, pickles and porridge. It was simple but filling.

Ji Luo called here in advance, and the person in charge took Wang Erping to complete the employment procedures immediately after lunch. He signed a labor agreement with him and explained the specific salary and benefits to him in detail. After completing these procedures, he was arranged a bed for him.

As soon as I completed the formalities, several retail traders came together to purchase goods in bulk. They were all from the suburbs of Kyoto. They started coming here to purchase goods in bulk for resale at the beginning of the year. Almost every two or three days, they would come on tricycles and drag a cart of goods back to set up stalls.

The warehouse here can be considered a transit station. It not only supplies two department stores and bulk goods, but also supplies goods to cities and counties around Kyoto. All goods are transported by train. With more and more wholesale customers, business is getting better and better.

On the way here, Ji Luo carefully told Wang Erping about the work situation here. Although he had not received much education, his brain was able to absorb information well and he was clear about his job content. He did not need any instructions from his leader and immediately followed the old employees to help move the goods.

Ji Luo doesn't come here often, and he just calls if there is something. Today, he came to look at the financial statistics and learned about the recent supply and demand situation from the person in charge.

After talking for more than half an hour, Ji Luo called Wang Erping to a corner to talk before leaving: "Brother Erping, you should work hard here during this period and familiarize yourself with the work process as soon as possible. If you don't understand something, ask Comrade Jiao and other old employees. We have signed cooperation agreements with several large factories and will move to a more spacious place at the end of August. By then, we will divide it into several small warehouses, and each warehouse will have a small leader. If you have any ideas, you should seize them well."

Wang Erping understood and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will do my best."

"Okay, go and get busy. You just wrote down your home phone number. If you need help with anything, just call Minfang." After Ji Luo finished speaking, he called Zeng Minlan and left.

Zeng Minlan had been busy in the warehouse for half an hour, helping them move goods. On the way back, she was in a good mood. "Thank you so much, sister. This job is very suitable for Erping. He is not good at thinking too much. The goods in the warehouse are not very heavy, so he can handle it."

"The work in the warehouse is not hard. It's only hard when unloading and moving goods. The rest is just odd jobs."

Their generation of poor farmers who came from rural areas are not afraid of hard work. Both men and women are good at work. As long as there is money to be made and hard work can improve their living conditions, they will really work hard.

Ji Luo had already seen the thick calluses on Zeng Minlan's hands. Just like when she was in the Ji family, she was also a diligent and capable person. He said to her, "There are a lot of goods in the warehouse in the backyard of our home. My classmates usually come to our home on weekends to get goods and set up stalls. They make a lot of money every day. If you are interested, you can take some goods from the warehouse and set up a stall on the roadside nearby when you are free. You can just take the goods at the unified wholesale price. If you can't sell them all, put them back in the warehouse and let Minfang register them."

Zeng Minlan smiled and said, "I have never set up a stall or done business before. A few days ago, I helped my brother and sister-in-law sell goods at home. They were the ones who sold the goods, and Erping and I helped deliver and move the goods."

"Let Minfang accompany you to try it out. The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Try it twice and you will be familiar with it."

"I'll try again after a while. Minfang's health is important. I'll take good care of her at home first. It won't be too late to go after she's more stable." Zeng Minlan remembered the purpose of her coming here. Making money is important, but her sister's health is more important.

"Well, you arrange it yourself."

There were a lot of things to do today, so Ji Luo sent her home, but without going in, he drove to the restaurant that was being renovated.

I talked with the decorator and the teacher in charge of the murals in the hotel for a whole morning, had lunch at the state-owned restaurant, packed a bowl of chicken soup, bought some fresh fruit, and rushed to the Military General Hospital before noon.

She arrived just in time. The nurse was about to feed Zhao Dongming. She asked the doctor for permission, changed into sterilized clothes, and followed the nurse in to visit him.

Zhao Dongming was sober. When he saw her coming, he pulled the corners of his swollen mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, you're here."

"Captain Zhao, long time no see."

Ji Luo handed the chicken soup to the nurse. Seeing that he was wrapped up like a mummy, with only his head intact, she felt a little sad. "I asked the doctor, and he said that your condition has stabilized. You should cooperate with the treatment and don't worry about other things."

"Sister He Ye is on her way here. She will be in Kyoto at noon tomorrow. I will pick her up at the train station."

"Everything is fine at home. Your parents have gone to the family compound. The two children are being taken care of by them temporarily. Sister He Ye will come here to take care of you."

"Your injuries are too severe. You will need to stay in the hospital for a month. Once the doctor confirms that you can be discharged, we will come and take you home. You will need to live in my house until you are fully recovered."

Zhao Dongming moved his head and nodded: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Don't be so polite."

Ji Luo smiled. Seeing that the nurse was still pouring chicken soup, she whispered quickly in his ear, "I've got the medicine, but you can't use it now. You're too seriously injured. Your body can't handle it now. Wait until you're discharged from the hospital and come to our house before using it."

Zhao Dongming's eyes moved, and he pursed his lips: "Okay."

"Secret."

Ji Luo gave a silent reminder.

Zhao Dongming understood and nodded solemnly.

Ji Luo couldn't stay in the ward for too long, so after saying a few simple words and repeatedly asking the nurse to help, she left and went back.
