"Okay, okay! Just for your honey-smeared mouth, at this time tomorrow night, I will send you another ten bowls of fish soup, this palace... Miss will give you a reward! Don't forget!"

The auspicious words of the food delivery boy were very helpful to Aimee Zhu, and then she stopped eating and joked with a smile.

In order to make it easier for the workers to commute to and from work, Auntie Zhu took out part of the profits she had earned in the past few years, built houses near the dairy farm, and distributed them to the workers to live in. Then she called experts from the Ministry of Industry to do a thorough inspection of the entire dairy farm. After detailed planning, since last year, many supporting facilities have been successively invested and built. Among them, the two most important auxiliary facilities, Xuetang Hospital, were also built the earliest and the best.

Except for some couples with families who work together, the employees of Shengyuan Dairy are all orphans selected by Aunt Zhu from the Nursing Home. Seventy percent of them are girls, aged between eight and 12.

When building houses for these orphans, Zhu Wei did not build them in the style of collective dormitories in Huangzhuang, but insisted on ordering them to be built according to the model of common people's homes in the capital.

She intends to allow these orphans to marry and settle down here when they grow up in the future, and she will do her best to ensure that these poor people and their offspring have no worries about food and clothing, and Aimee Zhu has full confidence in this.
