After ending the call with Mo Zexu's assistant, Xia Zhihuai put the phone on the table and his expression became a little heavy.
Huang Xikong sat on a chair beside him, leaning on his hand and looking at him: "What happened to the Mo family?"
Xia Zhihuai sat down on the chair next to him and said in a low voice: "Mo Yanshu's father is dead."
"He's dead, what's the point of looking for you?" Huang Xikong asked lazily.
Xia Zhihuai twisted his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "It is said that the cause of death is still unknown, and the body has not been found yet. In addition to him, the rest of the Mo family was attacked, two were seriously injured and unconscious, and are not completely out of danger. Mo Zexu was also seriously injured, and only Mo Yanshu was safe and sound."
"Didn't the Monster Management Bureau assign a few people to investigate the matter of the death-interception tablets? This matter should be handled by them, right?"
Xia Zhihuai: "I don't know the specific situation of the Mo family now. Mo Zexu wants to invite us over. He said that the thing that attacked them was not human, but seemed to be a monster that can turn invisible."
Huang Xikong looked at the peaches in the garden and tapped his knee with his index finger: "What are you going to do with the peaches waiting to be shipped?"
"Let's find someone to do it. If we just rely on ourselves to pack and ship the goods, we won't know how long it will take." Xia Zhihuai said.
Huang Xikong looked at the calico cat that was curled up in the shade of the tree and stretched lazily. The corners of his mouth curled up: "Didn't you send out a batch of peaches that were pecked by birds before? Ask those little monsters to do the work and pay them wages. Those little monsters are very focused on cultivation and will not fool around with such things. They are much more useful than unfamiliar hands."
Xia Zhihuai nodded: "Of course you can, but I'm not familiar with those little monsters, so I'll have to rely on Wanwan to talk to them."
Although he and Wanwan are siblings, and he was the one who promised to give the peaches away, he could feel that the little monsters trusted Wanwan more.
Huang Xikong urged, "Why don't you give it a try? You can't let Wanwan do everything. She's only three years old. What will you do when she goes to kindergarten?!"
When Xia Zhihuai heard what he said, his old face suddenly turned red.
Why did these words make him feel so uncomfortable? It made him feel as if he couldn't walk independently without Wanwan.
"I know, I know. I'll give it a try." Xia Zhihuai didn't want to continue chatting with Huang Xikong, who always poked his lungs. After he walked away, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, "Do you want to go this time?"
Huang Xikong raised his eyes lazily and answered quickly: "Go!"
I've been staying at home for a few days and having nothing to do every day, so it would be nice to go out for a walk.
After Xia Zhihuai returned, he asked Zhu Qing the same question. Zhu Qing shook his head and said, "I don't want to go."
Her strength is not as high as Huang Xikong's, and if she interacts too much with other people, it would be easy for her to be exposed as a ghost.
Zhu Qing was happily tidying up the vegetable garden in the backyard, and said to Xia Zhihuai who was watering the plants with a hose, "Although I'm not going, I still want to hear some gossip. Tell me when you come back!"
Xia Zhihuai took the spray gun and sprayed water on the cucumber vines and leaves, and replied with a smile: "That's absolutely no problem."
Xia Zhihuai booked a flight to Luocheng in the evening, but he was not in a hurry to leave because Taoyuan Village was not far from the airport and could be reached in about 50 minutes by car. After eating dinner made by Zhuqing at home, he began to pack his and Wanwan's luggage.
Wanwan sat in the open suitcase, looking at the clothes and hats she was choosing, as well as a bunch of other things she was going to take with her. She put her hands on her cheeks and asked, "Are we moving? Why do we need to take so many things?"
Xia Zhihuai looked at a large suitcase that was already full and fell into deep thought. At first, he didn't intend to bring so many things, but who would have thought that he would have more and more things when he started packing.
Just for Wanwan and him, they would need several sets of clothes to change into.
After all, Wanwan's banditry is no exaggeration. If she is not watched carefully, she can turn herself into a mud monkey and change her clothes several times a day.
Plus, he's not a laundry guy...
Ok.
Bringing a suitcase full of clothes is actually understandable, right?
This time when he went to Luocheng, he didn't plan to bring Wanwan to live in the Mo family.
The Mo family is in a mess now, with the family members fighting like chickens for inheritance rights and property.
No matter how good the relationship between Wanwan and Mo Yanshu was, he was not comfortable with bringing Wanwan to live there.
Wanwan looked at him squatting in front of the suitcase with an indecisive look on his face, and helped take out the clothes in the suitcase one by one.
"This one, this one, and this one... don't take any of them." Wanwan stuffed the clothes she took out into the closet, turned around and ran towards the window, shouting for help to Zhuqing downstairs, "Sister Zhuqing, come and help me pack the clothes. My brother has difficulty making choices."
When the voice came out, the first person to come up was not Zhu Qing, but the little assistant who was fiddling with the computer at the desk on the first floor.
Zhang Chichi is very experienced in taking care of Xia Zhihuai's daily life, and often helps pack luggage for going out, so when she heard Wanwan's voice, she took the initiative to go upstairs to ask if he needed help.
When Xia Zhihuai saw her, he felt like he had seen a savior and immediately made way.
Zhang Chichi looked at the messy suitcase, sighed softly, and looked up at Xia Zhihuai, who was useless except for his face: "Brother Xia, I think... even if you retire from the entertainment industry, you still need a life assistant, or a nanny. Your storage ability is really terrible!"
Xia Zhihuai sat cross-legged on the bedroom floor, watching her clean up seriously, and took her suggestions to heart.
"Xiao Zhang, have you ever considered continuing to apply for the position of life assistant and working two jobs?" Xia Zhihuai asked tentatively.
Zhang Chichi folded the clothes neatly one by one, and did not answer his question immediately. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I am actually very happy doing my current job. Although I am not very good at it, I can learn new things every day, and I always feel very hopeful. As long as I work hard enough, I will definitely be able to stand on my own in the future."
“But being a life assistant, although more comfortable, does not have this kind of drive and expectation.”
"Brother Xia, I'm sorry, I still prefer to follow you guys to do the work of live broadcast sales planning and operations." Zhang Chichi felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look Xia Zhihuai in the eye.
Xia Zhihuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this: "Don't be like this, I'm not unreasonable. You like your current job, and I'm happy for you. After all, we've worked together for so long. And you're still working for me now, what do you have to apologize for?"
"What I'm asking is whether you are willing to work as a life assistant part-time in addition to planning and operations. Your salary will increase, but there isn't much you need to do. Just help with packing and arranging itineraries for emergencies like today."
"Besides, we rarely travel on business right now, so you don't need to spend too much energy on it. I will hire an assistant again when other things are gradually on track. You are also aware of the situation in our house. There are two ghosts living here, and Wanwan has special abilities. I don't feel comfortable just hiring someone here casually."
