The owner of this garment factory was a good man, not only handsome, but also generous. After seeing his craftsmanship, he gave him the same salary as other masters, 10,000 copper coins a month.
Even his daughter Rachel can get a salary of 3,000 copper coins every month, which he couldn't even imagine at the beginning.
And the work is not too hard. Although they work two shifts, they have enough rest time every day, and the meals arranged by the factory are better than what they had eaten during the Chinese New Year.
He has decided to work here until he can no longer move, and to prepare a decent dowry for Rachel so that she can marry into a good family.
The master tailor is responsible for the main steps of making clothes, while the female workers are responsible for some corner sewing and thread removal. In the workshop next door, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.
"Have you heard that the owner of a restaurant called Maimi's Restaurant sent a missing person notice today? The City Lord's Palace and the Food Association have forwarded it." A female worker completed her work and there was no new thread to cut for the time being. , and said softly.
The female workers who were not busy at work looked at her curiously. Only the pretty female worker sitting in the corner, sewing the corners, remained indifferent.
"Really or not? So awesome! Who is the boss?" A female worker next to her said with some disbelief. The other female workers also had similar expressions.
"Of course it's true. I couldn't sleep this afternoon, so I went around Aden Square and saw it with my own eyes." The female worker said confidently, and then said somewhat mysteriously: "And, do you know, that store The restaurant is amazing. The cheapest dishes there cost 200 copper coins each, and the most expensive ones cost more than 2,000 copper coins. If anyone can find this person, they can bring one person to that restaurant for free. Eat all the delicious food in the restaurant!”
"Oh my God! Two thousand copper coins for a portion of delicious food! Isn't this too expensive? Can anyone really afford it?" a female worker exclaimed.
"Yes, my monthly salary is only enough for one meal..." All the female workers were extremely surprised.
"Although we can't afford it, I went to the door of the restaurant and took a look. There were hundreds of customers lined up at the door." The female worker was very satisfied with the fuss made by everyone, and then said with a mysterious smile: "And , guess who I saw?"
"Who is it?" The female workers were really interested.
"I saw our boss, Miss Gloria, she was also in line." The female worker said with a smile.
"Even Miss Gloria has to queue up to eat delicious food. Now I believe it costs 2,000 copper coins a portion."
"Yes, Miss Gloria is such an elegant, beautiful and rich person. I really want to have a meal at that restaurant."
All the female workers looked forward to it. The price of 2,000 copper coins put them off. Their salary of two to three thousand copper coins a month had to be used to support their families, so they didn't dare to spend it randomly.
"Cindine, please tell me, who is he looking for? Maybe he is someone we know! If we find him, then we can eat the same delicious food as Miss Gloria!" A female worker said excitedly.
All the female workers also looked at the female worker named Cindina.
"I really remembered this." Cindy said with some pride: "The missing person notice said that it was an old man from Luodu who was looking for his son who was lost twenty-five years ago. That child His name is Beck Bazell. He has a mole on the left side of his eyebrow 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 clothes shook her hand, and the embroidery needle pricked her finger. The pain made her let out a soft cry, and her eyes stared, as if she heard something incredible.
"Rachel? Are you okay?" Cindy stood up and walked to the side of the pretty female worker. Looking at her bleeding fingers, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold her fingers, took them away from the top of her clothes, and said nervously. : "Rachel, why are you so careless? It's not a big deal if you prick me. But if your clothes get stained, your wages will be deducted."
Rachel didn't care about her hands. She stood up immediately, grabbed Cindy's hand and said excitedly: "Cindy, you just said that the old man is from Luodu? The child was lost twenty years ago." Five years, and there’s a mole between your eyebrows?”
"Yes...yes." Cindy nodded in confusion. Looking at Rachel who was looking a little excited, her eyes suddenly lit up, "No way! Rachel, do you know that person?"
"Where can I see the missing person notice?" Rachel continued to ask without answering Cindyna's words.
"You can see it at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, and you can also see it on the ranking magic screen of the Food Association in Aden Square." Cindyna replied, still full of curiosity and asked: "Do you really know such a person? who is it?"
"I'm going out." Rachel put her clothes aside and trotted towards the door.
"Hey, Rachel, it's working time! Where are you going?" Cindy shouted loudly, looking at Rachel who disappeared at the door, she said with some frustration: "What, you still say good sisters, you don't say a word He ran away after saying that, I was just curious about what's so great about a delicious meal."
"Rachel?" Benjamin, who was in the next workshop, heard Cindyna's voice. He was stunned for a moment and walked towards the door. As soon as he went out, he happened to see Rachel's figure disappearing into the alley.
"Where is this girl going at night?" Benjamin frowned. After thinking about it, he returned to the workshop and continued making clothes.
Rachel has been an obedient child since she was a child and has never let him worry. She will definitely come back soon.
…
The delicate figure ran all the way from the streets in the north of the city to Aden Square. He stood under the magic screen, panting, looking up at the missing person notice displayed on the huge magic screen, looking at the profile picture, the familiar facial features. and outline, Rachel's tears suddenly overflowed.
"Hada...your father is here to find you...Bazel, Bazel turns out to be your last name, you remembered it correctly..." Rachel choked with tears while speaking.
"I want to tell him the news, he will be very happy." Rachel wiped away her tears, then turned and ran towards the north of the city.
The clothes on her body were soaked with sweat, and the cold wind blew through, chilling her bones, but Rachel's face was full of smiles.
The little cripple who grew up with her, who was beaten for her, who worked hard for her, the man she loved deeply, his father finally came to see him.
After so many years, although he never said it, she knew that he still missed home, the home that even he could no longer remember.
"Hatta! Hada! Open the door quickly, Hada!"
Rachel knocked hard on an old door.
The door creaked open, and Hada came out. He looked nervously at Rachel who was sweating profusely and said, "What's wrong? Rachel, what happened? Are you okay?"
"Fool, I'm fine." Rachel shook her head, looked at Hada with tears in her eyes and said, "Hada, your father is here to find you! He is really here!"
