Chapter 355
After hearing this, Si Nian also fell silent.
Viruses, no matter the era, were extremely deadly.
Not to mention their high transmission rate, they were incredibly dangerous.
One careless mistake could lead to total annihilation.
Coming from the future, she had also experienced the torment of viruses and deeply understood the importance of lockdowns and isolation.
Si Nian was very worried. In past history, there were far too many instances of swine fever outbreaks.
The novel only mentioned the older man's pig farm; because he was a supporting character, it didn't detail what had actually happened.
At this moment, it was hard not to worry.
She felt she had come at a bad time.
It seemed like she couldn't do anything to help him.
Instead, she was just taking up his time.
She knew Zhou Yueshen wouldn't just leave her here and go off to work.
Si Nian wanted to leave, but meeting the soft gaze of the man looking at her, she felt reluctant to part.
...
Zhou Yueshen was often so busy that he forgot to eat.
Usually, it was Yu Dong who would call him.
Or bring the food directly to him.
Today, everyone thought the same. As soon as the food was ready, the first scoop was naturally saved for the factory manager.
But before they could pack it up and send it over, they saw Zhou Yueshen walking in.
There was only a cooking kitchen here, and it wasn't very big.
Usually, everyone just grabbed a small stool and sat down to eat.
The men weren't too particular about these things. After eating, they would find a spot to take a quick nap.
Only Zhou Yueshen had an office. Because he usually had a lot of work, he would always get his food and eat in his office.
Zhou Yueshen rarely smiled. He always wore a cold expression, so everyone was quite afraid of him.
Only Yu Dong dared to joke with him.
Seeing him arrive, the chatting and laughing crowd fell silent in unison and greeted him.
"the Boss."
"Why did the Boss come over in person today?"
"the Boss, I heard sister-in-law came to see you?"
Zhou Yueshen gave a sound of acknowledgment and didn't say much else.
He stepped forward, grabbed two sets of bowls and chopsticks, served the food, and then left.
Seeing this, everyone understood.
So he had specially come over to get food for his wife.
They knew it. How could someone who usually forgot to eat because he was so busy suddenly come over to get food?
It turned out it was for his wife.
When Zhou Yueshen returned, Si Nian was sweeping the floor.
Seeing him approach, Si Nian said, "It's a bit damp in here, which isn't good for your health. When you have time, you should patch up the roof."
The floor wasn't made of concrete to begin with, so it was very damp.
After saying that, she walked to the side and opened the window.
Who knew that before she could even push the window out, it would fall off with a clatter.
Si Nian: "..."
The office fell into a dead silence.
Zhou Yueshen let out a low cough, placed the food on the table, and said in a low voice, "This building is a bit old, and the windows are broken. But I don't stay here often, so I haven't bothered fixing it."
Si Nian's mouth twitched.
Looking at the old mahogany window on the floor, she asked, "What do we do now?"
Zhou Yueshen replied, "I'll just find someone to fix it later. You eat first."
Si Nian sighed and agreed.
She couldn't blame Li Yanhong for saying the environment was bad earlier.
Now it seemed there was a good reason for it.
The food tasted average, not great, but not terrible either.
The breeding farm never lacked meat. For most people, having meat at every meal was already a luxury.
But Si Nian was inherently a bit picky about food; after all, she considered herself a foodie.
Right now, she felt extremely cloyed after eating just a little.
Seeing that she couldn't eat anymore, Zhou Yueshen didn't mind. He poured her leftover food into his own bowl and finished it in a few bites.
Zhou Yueshen said, "Everyone here eats pretty casually. We aren't very particular."
Si Nian nodded, indicating she understood.
However, she still suggested, "This building is too old, and there's no telling when it might collapse. When the weather gets better, you should have someone renovate it so it's more comfortable for you to stay in."
Zhou Yueshen always listened to her, and this time was no exception; he agreed without refusing.
Although he didn't care about it himself, since Si Nian brought it up, he naturally took it to heart.
Even if it didn't matter to him, it was truly inconvenient when she occasionally visited and didn't even have a place to sit.
Si Nian added, "Then get it done quickly. If you end up staying here for a long time in the future, I'll bring the kids to see you."
Previously in the village, the breeding farm was close by.
The children had grown bolder and would always run over to the farm.
Si Nian also frequently brought him meals.
Now that Zhou Yueshen was further away, he didn't need her to deliver food.
Seeing him in such an environment now made her heart ache.
They were living comfortably in a big house at home, enjoying life.
Yet he was working day and night, resting in such a cramped environment in the evenings.
Zhou Yueshen paused, then agreed.
Si Nian continued, "If you trust me, I can help you manage the accounts, so you won't have to be so tired every day."
The people in Zhou Yueshen's factory were all rough men with little education.
Previously, Yu Dong managed it.
But Yu Dong had left. Although Li Yanhong had come, she naturally couldn't be as versatile as Yu Dong. Since he wasn't familiar with her, he didn't dare entrust it to her.
She could only handle business operations and such.
These matters naturally fell into Zhou Yueshen's hands.
Si Nian had just watched him checking the accounts, and it seemed quite simple.
After taking the college entrance examination, she planned to take a year off from school.
She would wait until Yaoyao went to preschool before returning to her studies.
She had already made plans to skip grades. After all, getting a university diploma wasn't difficult for her.
What Si Nian lacked was just the certificate itself.
Furthermore, she wanted to get into the best school.
In her own world, she was already excellent. Coming here, she naturally wouldn't settle for second best.
However, this was the first time Si Nian intervened in the affairs of Zhou Yueshen's factory.
She used to be lazy and never asked about it.
But now she felt that sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor wasn't very good.
At the end of the day, she was the boss's wife.
Zhou Yueshen hesitated for a moment. It wasn't that he didn't want to hand it over to Si Nian, but she had to take the college entrance examination, go to school, and take care of the kids. Could she handle being so busy?
If Si Nian knew he was thinking this, she would definitely state immediately that while she might be too busy for other things, counting money made her quite happy.
After all, this was their own family's money.
She had no interest in calculating for others.
But calculating for herself, her interest was massive.
Seeing that she was serious about the idea, Zhou Yueshen didn't dare say much more.
He was afraid Si Nian would think he didn't want to give it to her.
He sensitively realized that in matters like this, he had to listen to her.
Afraid she wouldn't understand.
Zhou Yueshen began to introduce the account management methods of the breeding farm for this period.
He always spoke concisely and to the point, his voice deep. Occasionally, his slender fingertips pointed to some marked places on the bills and some long-term cooperative accounts. He explained which accounts needed to be calculated immediately and which ones were settled monthly.
Si Nian listened quietly.
Extremely seriously.
This was Zhou Yueshen's factory.
She was his wife; she couldn't cause trouble for him.
