The boss of this garment factory was a good person. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also generous. After seeing his skills, she gave him the same salary as the other tailors — 10,000 copper coins a month.
Even his daughter, Rachel, could get a salary of 3,000 copper coins a month. This was something he didn't even dare to think about in the past.
Moreover, the work wasn't tough. Although there were two shifts, there was enough rest time every day. The food arranged by the factory was even better than what they ate during the New Year.
He had already decided to work here until he couldn't move. He wanted to prepare a decent dowry for Rachel so that she could marry into a good family.
The tailor was responsible for the main steps of making clothes, while the female workers were responsible for sewing the corners and removing the thread ends. The atmosphere in the workshop next door was much more relaxed.
"Have you heard? Today, the boss of a restaurant called Mamy's posted a missing person notice. The city lord's castle and the Food Association have forwarded it." A female worker finished her work and had no new thread ends to cut for the time being, so she spoke softly.
The female workers who weren't very busy looked at her curiously. Only the delicate female worker sitting in the corner who was sewing the corners was indifferent.
"Is that true? That's amazing! Who is that boss? "a female worker beside her said in disbelief. The other female workers had similar expressions.
"Of course it's true. I couldn't sleep this afternoon, so I went to Aden Square and saw it with my own eyes," the female worker said solemnly. Then, she said mysteriously, "Also, do you know? That restaurant is amazing. The cheapest dish there costs 200 copper coins a serving, and the most expensive one costs more than 2,000 copper coins a serving. If anyone can find this person, they can bring one person to that restaurant to eat all the delicacies for free!"
"Oh my god! 2,000 copper coins a serving of delicacies! Isn't that too expensive? Can anyone really afford it? "a female worker exclaimed.
"Yeah, my monthly salary is only enough to eat one serving …" The female workers were all very surprised.
"Although we can't afford it, I specially went to the entrance of that restaurant to take a look. There were hundreds of customers lining up at the entrance." That female worker was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. Then, she smiled mysteriously. "Also, guess who I saw?"
"Who?" The female workers' interest was really piqued.
"I saw our boss, Miss Gloria. She's also in the queue," the female worker said with a smile.
"Even Miss Gloria has to queue to eat the delicacies. Now, I believe it's 2,000 copper coins a serving."
"That's right. Miss Gloria is so elegant, beautiful, and rich. I really want to go to that restaurant for a meal too."
All the female workers had longing looks on their faces. The price of 2,000 copper coins made them shrink back. Their monthly salary of two to three thousand copper coins had to be used to support their families, so they didn't dare to spend it recklessly.
"Tell me, Cynthia. Who is he looking for? .......... .................................................
...............................
"I've really noted this down," Cynthia said proudly. "The missing-person notice said that it's an old man from Rodu who's looking for his son who went missing 25 years ago. That child's name is Baker Barzel. There's a black mole on the left side of his glabella, and a crescent-shaped scar on the back of his head …"
"Ah." The delicate female worker who had been sitting quietly in the corner embroidering suddenly trembled. The needle pricked her finger, and she let out a soft cry from the pain. Her eyes were wide open as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"Rachel? Are you okay? " Cynthia got up and walked to the pretty female worker's side. When she saw that her finger was still bleeding, she hurriedly reached out to press down on her finger and moved it away from the top of her shirt. She said nervously, "Rachel, why are you so careless? It's no big deal to get stabbed, but if you dirty your shirt, your salary will be deducted."
Rachel didn't care about her hand. She stood up quickly, grabbed Cynthia's hand, and agitatedly said, "Cynthia, you said that the old man came from Rodu? The child went missing 25 years ago, and there's a black mole on his glabella? "
"Yes … Yes." Cynthia nodded in a daze. She looked at the agitated Rachel, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "No way! Rachel, you know that person? "
Rachel didn't answer Cynthia's question, and continued to ask, "Where can I see that missing-person notice?"
"You can see it at the entrance of the city lord's castle. You can also see it on the Food Association's ranking magic screen in the Aden Square," Cynthia answered. She still asked curiously, "You really know such a person? Who is it? "
"I'm going out for a while." Rachel put her clothes aside, and jogged towards the door.
"Hey, Rachel, it's working hours now! Where are you going? " Cynthia shouted loudly. She looked at Rachel who disappeared at the door, and dejectedly said, "What? You said you were good sisters, but you ran away without saying a word. I'm just curious. What's so great about a good meal?"
"Rachel?" Benjamin, who was in the workshop next door, was stunned when he heard Cynthia's voice. He walked towards the door, and just as he walked out, he saw Rachel's figure disappear at the end of the alley.
"Where did this girl go in the middle of the night?" Benjamin said with a frown. He thought for a while, and still returned to the workshop to continue making clothes.
Rachel had been an obedient child since she was young, and had never made him worry. She would definitely be back in a while.
…
The delicate figure ran all the way from the streets in the north of the city to the Aden Square. She stood under the magic screen, and panted heavily. She looked up at the missing-person notice on the huge magic screen. Looking at the picture, the familiar face, and the contours, Rachel's tears flowed out instantly.
"Hada … Your father is here to look for you … Bazeer, Bazeer is your surname. You didn't remember wrongly …" Rachel choked as she cried.
"I'm going to tell him this news. He will be very happy." Rachel wiped her tears, and then turned to run towards the north of the city.
Her clothes were already drenched in sweat. The cold wind blew, and it was bone-chilling, but Rachel's face was full of smiles.
The little cripple who grew up with her, who took a beating for her, who worked hard for her, the man she loved deeply, his father was finally here to look for him.
It had been so many years. Although he never said it, she knew that he would still miss home. He missed the home that even he could not remember.
"Hada! Hada! Open the door, Hada! "
Rachel knocked hard on a somewhat old door.
The door opened with a creak, and Hada came out. He looked at the sweating Rachel nervously, and said, "What's wrong? Rachel, did something happen? Are you okay? "
"Silly, I'm fine." Rachel shook her head. She looked at Hada with tears in her eyes, and said, "Hada, your father is here to look for you! He's really here! "
