Chapter Fifty-Three Is Really High Consumption

  Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed. Zhao Fei has been working at the winery for a whole month now, and due to his diligence and eagerness to learn, he has already learned almost everything about the winery in this short period of time. Zhang Bao has also been generous with his praise, constantly complimenting Zhao Fei.

  Putting down his pen, Zhao Fei stretched his waist and rubbed his slightly swollen head. His mood was still pretty good. Firstly, he could get this month's salary now, and secondly, the weekend had arrived again, so he could go back home tomorrow. Thinking about his first time going back home made him chuckle a bit. He remembered that as soon as he entered the house, he scared his mother and father half to death. They thought something was wrong with him since he came back after only five days. They even thought the boss had sent him back. His father scolded him severely. In the end, it took a lot of effort to explain things clearly, and his parents finally accepted it reluctantly.

  His mother, however, didn't mind at all and was even happy that Zhao Fei could come home often. But Zhao Hu felt that this wasn't quite right, after all, Mr. Zhang had been good to Zhao Fei, and he felt a bit guilty about it. Zhao Fei kept introducing himself until his father finally reluctantly agreed.

  Zhao Fei, with a nervous heart, told his parents about his intention to help Zhang Bao do business. In ancient times, the status of merchants was very low, even lower than that of farmers. But what surprised Zhao Fei was that his parents didn't say much, only saying "As long as it's something you want to do, your father and mother will support you." Seeing his parents' reaction, Zhao Fei felt a lot more at ease. "No matter what, everything is developing in a good direction. This isn't bad at all." At this time, Zhao Fei was immersed in a state of happiness and contentment.

  "What's wrong with you, Little Fei?" Zhang Bao walked over and found Zhao Fei spacing out, waving his hand in front of Zhao Fei's eyes and shouting at him.

  "There's nothing, boss," Zhao Fei replied, coming back to his senses. "I was just thinking about some things."

  "Hehe, thinking of home again?" Zhang Ba's one sentence exposed his true feelings. Zhao Fei couldn't help but blush a little.

  "You rascal." Zhang Bao pointed at Zhao Fei, smiling helplessly. "Alright, this is your salary for this month." As he spoke, Zhang Bao took out a pouch of money from his chest and handed it to Zhao Fei.

  Zhao Fei took it over and felt that something was not quite right. "Shopkeeper, this is a bit too much." After a month of training, Zhao Fei had become somewhat sensitive to these things, although he couldn't determine the exact amount, but he could feel it. So as soon as he took the money bag in hand, Zhao Fei knew that there was more than five hundred here.

  "Just take whatever you're given and be satisfied with it, don't worry whether it's more or less." Zhang Bao glared at Zhao Fei, feigning anger.

  Zhao Fei hastily declined, "How can this be, boss? I've already received a lot of your kindness, how can I accept these as well?"

  "When you pushed me, I got angry." Zhang Bao stared at Zhao Fei and continued: "I'm very satisfied with your performance this month. Consider it a confirmation of your performance, take it. Go back and buy something for your parents to bring back."

  Since Zhang Bao has said so, Zhao Fei no longer declined. After putting away the money bag, he bid farewell to Zhang Bao and said: "Well, boss, I'll be off for now. See you in a few days."

  "Heh heh, be careful on your way." Zhang Bao waved his hand and saw Zhao Fei off as he walked out of the wine shop.

  After walking crookedly for a month, Zhao Fei finally figured out how to get out of the maze-like streets. Zhang Bao was also very embarrassed by this result. He didn't expect that although Zhao Fei was very smart, he was so directionally challenged. Zhao Fei also expressed his helplessness in this regard, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't avoid being a directional failure.

  As he walked to the street, Zhao Fei patted his pocket where his wallet was and happily headed towards the market. When he arrived at the market, Zhao Fei bought a chicken, a small basket of eggs, some meat, and some vegetables. After buying all these things, Zhao Fei's wages had shrunk quite a bit. "This is really high consumption," Zhao Fei couldn't help but mutter to himself. Carrying his purchases, Zhao Fei happily headed towards the city gate.

  "Hey, Super Brother." Zhao Fei hastily greeted as he saw Li Chao from afar. This month, Zhao Fei had come in and out of the city several times, so he was already familiar with the guards at the city gate.

  Looking at what was in Zhao Fei's hand, Li Chao couldn't help but stare. "Xiao Fei, what is this?"

  "This isn't a salary increase, so I just bought some things. To improve life for the family." Zhao Fei said with a smile.

  Li Chao looked at Zhao Fei with a hint of jealousy in his expression. "By the way, Little Fei, which winery still needs people? If not, I'll go with you too."

  Zhao Fei hehe smiled foolishly for a moment, "I'm also not good at this. I guess it's not necessary now."

  "Is that so?" Li Chao said disappointedly.

  "Brother Li, you're busy first, and it's getting late too. I'll take my leave." Zhao Fei bid farewell.

  Watching Zhao Fei's receding back, Li Chao couldn't help but envy: "How does this kid have such good luck?"

  "What's the point of standing there like a fool if you're not going to do your job properly?" Just as Li Chao was gazing at Zhao Fei's back in a daze, a loud and powerful voice came from behind him.

  "No... nothing, Commander Zhao." Li Chao hastily turned around and explained. The newcomer was precisely Zhao Meng.

  "Oh? Is it?" Zhao Meng stared at Li Chao. "Then how did I just hear you muttering something under your breath."

  "It's like this..." Li Chao told Zhao Meng the whole story. Upon hearing it, Zhao Meng was also quite surprised, never expecting that weak and timid little kid to have such an opportunity, to encounter such a thing.

  "Stand your post properly, what's the use of thinking about those things, it has nothing to do with you." Zhao Meng said harshly to Li Chao, Li Chao nodded and bowed, with a flattering expression, hastily acknowledging. "Alright, you stand your post then." After saying that, Zhao Meng turned around and left. When Zhao Meng walked far away, Li Chao put away the flattering expression, looked at the direction where Zhao Meng left, and spat out a mouthful of saliva, "Pfft, what kind of thing, really thinks he's some big shot official." Although he said so, Li Chao still went to stand his post honestly.

  Carrying things, humming a little tune. Zhao Fei walked towards Zhao Jia Village with a swaying gait. "When can I also get a horse cart and not have to carry so many things? At that time, we'll be one of the families with a carriage too. But when will that be?" Zhao Fei couldn't help but feel that it was still quite far off.

  After entering the village, there were constantly people greeting Zhao Fei, especially when they saw what was in his hands, they all showed envious expressions.

  "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Zhao Fei shouted excitedly before even entering the courtyard. As soon as he finished shouting, Duo'er bounced out, jumping up and down.

  "Brother, you're back." Seeing Zhao Fei holding those things, Duo'er was very sensible and didn't rush over.

  "Where are mom and dad?"

  "Dad and mom are all in the house. Brother, why did you buy so many things?" Duo'er's big eyes sparkled with water, looking at Zhao Fei's hands, a hint of longing flowed out of her eyes.

  "Of course I bought it for you to eat." Zhao Fei looked at Duo'er with a kind expression.

  "Brother is the best." Duo'er smiled at Zhao Fei, looking very happy.

  "Alright, don't jump around anymore, go inside." Zhao Fei glanced at Duo'er and followed her into the courtyard.

  "Little Fly, you're back." Seeing Zhao Fly come in, Li hastily got up and looked at the things in Zhao's hand. Li was clearly taken aback for a moment. "What's wrong with you, buying all this stuff?" With a hint of reproach, Li glanced at Zhao, but despite the tone, her expression was still very happy. She didn't idle around either, instead taking over the things from Zhao's hands.

  Zhao Fei scratched his head and said to Li, "This isn't just my wages, the boss thought I did a good job this month, so he gave me some extra. That's why I bought all this stuff."

  Third watch arrived! Xiao Pang thanks you!
