When Li Xiaoran heard this, her face immediately turned red.
She sounded as if she was in a hurry to live with Luo Cheng.
“That’s not what I meant! I... Forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything!” Li Xiaoran really couldn’t defend herself!
Seeing that Li Xiaoran was anxious, Luo Cheng smiled and hugged her.
“Yes, I misunderstood! I can’t wait to let you move in with me! I wonder if you’re willing to give me face?”
Li Xiaoran felt a little awkward being hugged by Luo Cheng because his scent entered her nose, making her blush even more.
“Didn’t you say before that you won’t let me enter the room next door? Now that you want me to move in, I won’t!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and stubbornly refused.
Luo Cheng recalled that he had really said this before and immediately hated himself for being stupid.
Why did he say such a thing back then?
Now, he couldn’t coax his wife. What should he do?
“I know I was wrong. Please don’t be angry! If you don’t want to live over there, I’ll move my things over! If you think this room is small, it’s fine. I can tidy up the room next door so that our things can be placed!” Luo Cheng said as he twirled Li Xiaoran’s hair with one hand.
Luo Cheng made Li Xiaoran feel like she had nowhere to vent her anger.
“You, Luo Cheng, can you speak properly?!”
As Li Xiaoran spoke, she broke free from Luo Cheng’s arms and sat on the other side of the bed.
“Don’t get physical with me. Let’s get down to business first!”
Luo Cheng also knew that he couldn’t push her too hard, so he stopped smiling and became serious.
“What do you want to say? I’ll listen carefully!”
Li Xiaoran rolled her eyes at Luo Cheng and calmed down. She sorted out her thoughts and said.
“I have several things to do! First, after the shop is built, I plan to do two kinds of food business. The first is a restaurant, but it’s the fast-food business kind! The second is a noodle shop. We can continue selling knife-cut noodles, but we can add some other types of noodles and steamed buns to sell! I want my sister, Xiao Qing, to make the noodles. I’ll let Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao make the steamed buns! As for the fast-food restaurant, I’ll let my mother run it!”
Li Xiaoran said a lot in one go and explained her plan for the shop by the official road.
Luo Cheng caught the gist of what Li Xiaoran said. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao can be used, but if Mother-in-law and Xiao Qing goes to do business, what will Father-in-law do? Also, according to what you said, we will have to hire more people!”
“Yes, we need to recruit people for the shop. We can talk about this later! There are two things I haven’t thought about yet! My father is a little overqualified when it comes to doing things at the stall. Actually, my father is best at farming. As you can see, the vegetable garden behind our kitchen has been taken care of very well by my father, so I think I’ll let my father focus on farming in the future! After all, we’re going to open a shop in the future. These vegetables and fruits are also needed in large quantities!” Li Xiaoran said her thoughts.
“After we cut down those rotten fruit trees outside our house, we can empty a large piece of land. I remember that you previously planned to plant whatever was suitable. I think this is a good idea, but I’ll have to trouble Father-in-law!” Luo Cheng agreed with Li Xiaoran’s idea. “But this way, I’m afraid we’ll have to hire some long-term workers to farm. After all, there’s a lot of land near my house. It will take a lot of people to farm!”
“That’s right. Moreover, if my father’s land is really planted, it will be very beneficial to us. Firstly, we can satisfy our own needs, and secondly, we can supply the shop. Lastly, we can also accumulate more food at home.” Li Xiaoran voiced her thoughts.
Actually, Li Xiaoran had always worried. Although this world seemed good now, who knew what the future would be like?
Therefore, they had to store more food at home in case of emergencies.
Li Xiaoran’s thoughts coincided with Luo Cheng’s.
During times of chaos, food was naturally the most important thing. Therefore, Li Xiaoran was very prescient to think of this.
“Wife, I understand what you mean! Do whatever you want with this. If you need manpower, I can get someone to help! To be honest, I’m not very willing to hire people from the village because it’s too troublesome!” Luo Cheng said what he meant.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she also had concerns about this.
“I’m not familiar with the people in the village, but there should be good people! However, if there’s someone more suitable and reliable on your side, we don’t have to search in the village!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he suddenly thought of something. “Wife, do you mind using someone with some disabilities?”
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and added, “Of course, don’t worry. There are only some problems with their bodies, and it definitely won’t affect their work. For example, some people have a limp, but their hands can still be used. They can wash dishes and vegetables every day. There are also some that can’t do hard labor, but they can still wipe the tables, sweep the floor, and serve the dishes every day!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she thought for a moment and said, “Husband, as long as there’s no problem with their character, I have no problem! I can accept these people you mentioned! As long as they work dilligently, I won’t treat them badly!”
Luo Cheng didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to agree as soon as he mentioned this.
“Wife, have you really thought it through?”
“What’s there to think about?! It’s just recruiting more people. It’s fine. As long as they have good character and can work steadily, there won’t be a problem!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
When Luo Cheng heard how understanding Li Xiaoran was, his eyes turned red.
“Actually, to be honest, these people I’m talking about are soldiers who retreated from the border battlefield after being injured. If you’re willing to use them, they’ll also work very hard! Don’t worry about their character. I’ll definitely send some reliable people over to work!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately looked at him.
“If that’s the case, then call more people over! Anyway, there are many things to do at home. It doesn’t matter if there are more people!” Li Xiaoran said.
