The next morning, after Xia Ruofei finished cultivating in his room, he went to take a hot shower and walked to the courtyard refreshed.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xia Xiaolan sweeping the courtyard with a big broom. The weather in Beijing in early spring was quite cold, but Xia Xiaolan's forehead was already covered in sweat. It could be seen that she had been working for a while.
Xia Ruofei did some chest exercises and greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Xiaolan!"
Xia Xiaolan was concentrating on sweeping the floor. When she heard Xia Ruofei's voice, she was shocked and quickly said, "Good morning, boss!"
Then, she asked anxiously, "Did I … disturb your rest?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "No, no! I get up at this time every day. "
Then, Xia Ruofei said, "You're new here, but you get into work quite quickly! Actually, this courtyard is so big, you don't have to clean it every day. It's too tiring for you to do it alone … "
Xia Xiaolan quickly said, "No! You give me such a high salary, how would I dare to be lazy! And there's only this courtyard, there's not much work … "
Xia Ruofei could see that the simple Xia Xiaolan's words were from the bottom of her heart. He smiled and nodded, and didn't attack Xia Xiaolan's enthusiasm for work.
Xia Xiaolan then said, "Boss, sister-in-law Xiujuan is also busy in the kitchen early … You should be able to eat breakfast if you go over now!"
"Oh? Then I'll have to try her cooking! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile," Don't be busy! Let's go eat first! "
"Boss, you go first! I'll go after I'm done here! "Xia Xiaolan said.
"Okay then! Don't be too tired … "Xia Ruofei said," The work can't be finished. Come over for breakfast when it's about time! "
"Okay!" Xia Xiaolan replied. Then, she wiped the sweat on her forehead and continued to clean.
Xia Ruofei strolled to the backyard. Sure enough, steam was rising from the kitchen. Wu Xiujuan was busy inside.
"Good morning, Aunt Wu!" Xia Ruofei said.
Wu Xiujuan quickly greeted Xia Ruofei and said, "Boss Xia! You're up! Breakfast will be ready soon! "
"Don't worry, I just came to have a look!" Xia Ruofei asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Wu Xiujuan simply smiled and said, "I slept quite well! The conditions here are so much better than our countryside! It's just that the bed is too soft, and I'm still not used to it! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "You'll slowly get used to it!"
Wu Qiang was also in the kitchen. When he saw them, he came forward to greet them. "Boss Xia, Sister-in-law doesn't know how to use some things, so I came over to help and teach her!"
There were many advanced kitchen utensils in the kitchen. Wu Xiujuan had never even seen them in the countryside, let alone use them.
However, her cooking skills were there, so she learned very quickly. After learning how to use it, Wu Xiujuan also felt that it was very convenient. Cooking with those steamers, ovens, and so on was much more efficient than before.
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, take your time. These aren't difficult."
Wu Qiang nodded and said, "Boss Xia, don't worry. My sister-in-law is very smart, especially when it comes to the kitchen. She learns very quickly!"
"Qiangzi …" Wu Xiujuan was a little embarrassed.
Wu Qiang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm telling the truth! By the way, Boss Xia, she also asked me to buy her a few western cookbooks! "
Wu Xiujuan was a little embarrassed and explained, "Boss Xia, I only know how to cook Chinese food in the countryside. I'm afraid that you will eat western food sometimes, so I plan to learn …"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Auntie Wu, it's okay. I don't have the habit of eating western food. If friends need western food for gatherings or something, I will also hire a professional western chef from outside. You don't need to learn now."
"I'll learn first!" Wu Xiujuan said, "If I can learn, you won't need to hire a western chef. Those chefs are quite expensive!"
Xia Ruofei could see that Wu Xiujuan was the same as Xia Xiaolan. She was very enthusiastic about her work.
He thought about it and nodded and said, "Auntie Wu, it's okay if you want to learn more, but self-study is still quite difficult. You can use your break time to go to a western food training class. I will reimburse the tuition for you!"
"Really?" Wu Xiujuan asked in surprise.
"Of course! It's good to love learning! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile." Wu Qiang, I'll leave this to you! You are more familiar with Beijing. Find a reliable training class for Auntie Wu! "
"Yes, Boss Xia!" Wu Qiang said.
Xia Ruofei chatted with the two for a while. Wu Xiujuan's breakfast was all ready.
In the dining room, Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Then I'll try Auntie Wu's cooking!"
He picked up a brown sugar mantou, took a bite and chewed carefully. Then he gave a thumbs up and said, "Not bad! Not bad! The taste is quite good! Auntie Wu, you must have paid special attention to the dough! This mantou's tendons are very good! "
When Xia Ruofei tasted the brown sugar mantou, Wu Xiujuan was actually very nervous. She was worried that her rural cooking skills wouldn't enter Xia Ruofei's eyes.
If she didn't satisfy the boss on the first day of work, then she definitely wouldn't be able to work for long.
When Xia Ruofei praised her, Wu Xiujuan's hanging heart finally relaxed. She quickly said, "Boss Xia, it's good that you are satisfied! Eat more if you like it! "
The breakfast prepared by Wu Xiujuan was quite sumptuous. Not only was there porridge, soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, there were also brown sugar mantou and deep-fried dough cakes.
All of these were made by Wu Xiujuan herself. Even the soy milk was freshly ground and the deep-fried dough sticks were fried by her.
If it was in the past, the only way Xia Ruofei could eat breakfast like this was to go to the breakfast shop. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for him and Wu Qiang to make such a sumptuous breakfast.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said while eating, "You guys eat too! How can I eat when all of you are looking at me like this? By the way, Wu Qiang, go ahead and call your wife back to eat! "
Wu Qiang said with some embarrassment, "Boss Xia, Xiaolan isn't my girlfriend yet!"
"Isn't that a matter of time? Go ahead! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile," Auntie Wu, sit down and eat! "
Wu Xiujuan quickly said, "Boss Xia, you eat first. I … I'm not hungry yet!"
Xia Ruofei said seriously, "Auntie Wu, I don't have so many rules at home. Wu Qiang knows that. I don't distinguish between boss and employee here. Everyone eats at the same table!"
Wu Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie Wu! Boss Xia never puts on airs! Sit down and eat! "
Wu Xiujuan sat down as she was told and got a bowl of porridge, but she was still a little reserved.
Xia Ruofei didn't say anything and just ate breakfast by himself.
He knew that no matter what he said, Wu Xiujuan would definitely not be very comfortable. After all, he was the boss. Only when they got to know each other for a long time might it be better. For example, Wu Qiang was now not as reserved as before.
Soon, Wu Qiang called Xia Xiaolan over and they finished breakfast together.
Wu Xiujuan was busy cleaning up the dishes, Xia Xiaolan continued to clean the house. Wu Qiang, who couldn't stay idle, drove the car out of the garage and began to wash it in the backyard.
Xia Ruofei returned to the courtyard where he lived. He was a little restless as he scrolled through the news on his mobile phone. He was still thinking about Song Wei. He also knew that Song Wei was very determined this time and wouldn't give up so easily.
Sure enough, Song Wei came to the siheyuan before nine o 'clock.
Xia Ruofei personally went to the door of the front yard. Song Wei was standing outside the bright gate of the siheyuan. After seeing Xia Ruofei, she said, "Ruofei, I thought about it all night yesterday and decided to give it a try!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile bitterly. He asked, "Song Wei, you … Why do you want to do this?"
Song Wei looked into Xia Ruofei's eyes and asked, "I'm very calm today, and there won't be any problems with my mental state. I just want to ask you … Are you willing to help me?"
"Of course I'm willing to help you! Otherwise, what's the point of our efforts during this period of time? "Xia Ruofei said," But now the time is still … "
"I'm asking if you are willing to help me get rid of the peach blossom miasma today?" Song Wei interrupted Xia Ruofei and asked seriously.
Xia Ruofei was silent for a moment and asked, "What if I say no?"
Song Wei shrugged without hesitation and said, "Then I'll go back to school! If you don't want to, I can't force you, right? I can't get rid of the peach blossom miasma by myself … "
Xia Ruofei leaned against the door frame, looked at Song Wei and asked, "There must be a 'but' behind it, right?"
Song Wei smiled and said, "That's right!"
"Tell me!"
"It's nothing … If you don't want to help me today, then I won't practice the Questioning Heart Sutra of Genesis anymore," Song Wei said calmly, "And … I won't make any more efforts to get rid of the peach blossom miasma."
Speaking of this, Song Wei shrugged and said, "I think, if I don't want to cooperate, no matter how high your cultivation is, you can't do anything about the peach blossom miasma in my sea of consciousness, right?"
Xia Ruofei opened his eyes wide and said, "Aren't you too cruel to yourself?"
"I'm not kidding …" Song Wei said.
Xia Ruofei rubbed his temples and asked with a headache, "Song Wei, do you know what this means?"
Song Wei nodded and said, "You've told me before! Although I can suppress it with my current cultivation, as time goes by, the peach blossom miasma may mutate. Even if it stays in its original state, because I stop practicing, my cultivation will keep regressing. The final result will be the same. My mind will be completely eroded by the poison … "
Xia Ruofei looked at Song Wei and didn't say anything. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Come in!"
Song Wei's eyes lit up slightly at first, but then a trace of sadness flashed through them. He walked into the courtyard.
She knew that Xia Ruofei was forced to agree. She should be happy that she had achieved her goal, but she couldn't be happy.
The two of them walked through the front yard and came to the middle yard where Xia Ruofei lived.
They didn't speak along the way, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
It wasn't until they entered the master suite that Xia Ruofei said, "Sit down for a while! I'll go to the backyard … "
After taking two steps, Xia Ruofei turned back and explained, "I've hired a few more staff here. I have to tell them not to come here and disturb us …"
In fact, Xia Ruofei just wanted to calm down. Otherwise, he could have just called Wu Qiang and told him. Moreover, whether the peach blossom miasma was removed successfully or not, it shouldn't take too long. If it was in the Time Formation, the whole process might end in just a few minutes in the outside world. Xia Ruofei didn't need to specifically tell Wu Qiang and the others.
Song Wei nodded gently and said, "Okay!"
Xia Ruofei sighed inwardly. He walked out of the door and lit a cigarette. After taking a few deep puffs, he extinguished the cigarette butt on the trash can. Then, he walked to the backyard and said a few words to Wu Qiang and others.
When Xia Ruofei returned to the master suite again, he saw Song Wei sitting quietly on the sofa and flipping through a magazine. He seemed to be in a calm mood.
Even when Xia Ruofei walked into the room, Song Wei just raised his eyelids and then focused on the magazine again.
Xia Ruofei shook his head and didn't say anything. He went straight to the bedroom and took out the Time Formation Flag from the Ring-Tu space.
He skillfully set up the Time Formation in the living room and then said to Song Wei, "Let's go in!"
Song Wei nodded. After putting down the magazine, he followed Xia Ruofei into the Time Formation.
As before, the two of them sat cross-legged facing each other. The difference was that before, it was for cultivation, but this time, it was a very dangerous attempt.
Xia Ruofei didn't ask Song Wei if he was mentally prepared for failure. He said directly, "Let's start!"
Song Wei nodded. The two of them stretched out their hands at the same time and pressed their palms together.
"Start with the Heart Questioning Sutra of Genesis!" Xia Ruofei said in a deep voice.
Since he had decided to take the risk, Xia Ruofei quickly got rid of all distracting thoughts and became fully focused. He couldn't persuade Song Wei to give up this idea, so he could only do his best to increase the success rate as much as possible.
The two of them tacitly began to fuse their Zhen Qi according to the cultivation method of the [Heart Questioning Sutra of Genesis]. This was something they had done countless times in the past. The two Zhen Qi fused together, one in the other, and one in the other, relaying the circulation of the [Heart Questioning Sutra of Genesis].
The two's soul frequencies gradually became synchronized after one Circulatory Cycle.
One Circulatory Cycle, two Circulatory Cycles … When the Vital Qi's fusion reached its peak and their soul frequencies were almost exactly the same, Xia Ruofei said in a deep voice, "Song Wei, I'll be in charge of the next step. You have to let down all your defenses and let my spiritual power enter your Knowledge Sea."
"No problem. Let's start!" Song Wei said very calmly.
Xia Ruofei nodded. He used a large amount of spiritual power to weave an airtight invisible net, completely enveloping the ball of Vital Qi.
He urged his Vital Qi to flow up along the meridians in Song Wei's body. Finally, he felt as if he had entered a spacious world.
Xia Ruofei used his spiritual power to sense, and soon, the situation of this spacious world appeared in his mind without missing a single detail.
