Chapter 3219
"No, Nana. I'm not smart at all. I'm really dumb. You're the smartest." Dylan buttered Nana up. It was not empty flattery either because she was amazing.
The public thought they were amazing people in their own right, but they still could not escape their nana's grasp. She was like an immovable mountain while they were like tigers-they could be kings of the mountain but still could not touch her.
"I didn't play any tricks, Nana."
"That's your business. You can do whatever you like. I've already helped you pick a candidate. It's your choice whether or not you pursue her. A year should be enough time for you to think about it. But let me remind you that Yorks don't cheat and are loyal. Don't ruin our good name."
Dylan said sheepishly, "I know, Nana. I'm about to start driving, so I'll talk to you when I get back."
"Drive carefully," Nana admonished before hanging up and handing the phone off to Sam.
"My fish!" She was worried someone else had eaten her fish.
Sam said with a smile, "The fish you grilled smells amazing. No one would steal yours."
The old ladies who stayed in the employee quarters with their children might get along well with her, but they knew she was the Yorks' anchor and did not dare to easily touch her things. Their children were working for her, after all.
Employees at Wildridge Manor enjoyed good benefits. At the foot of the hill, there were a few buildings that formed the employee quarters. Some units were for those who brought their families with them. Those who were single stayed in single rooms fitted with a kitchenette and a bathroom.
There was empty land in front of the buildings that had been divided into small plots for the families to plant vegetables so they could be self-sufficient. It was fine if they did not want to as well. There were lots of fruits and vegetables grown at the foot of the hill for the manor's use. Their employers were often absent, so the surplus was shared among themselves.
Those who did not want to eat at the manor would receive a subsidy for their food expenses whereby they could buy groceries and cook for themselves. Those who stayed there with their families usually chose this option because that way, the whole family had all their meals provided
for.
If they ate at the employee cafeteria, they could only fill their own stomachs, which in this case the food subsidy was worthier than the readymade food provision. Even those who were single liked this option because the subsidized amount was quite high.
"Sam, please grill some fish and
shrimp for Dylan. He's on the way back." Grandma May felt that the fish she had grilled herself was particularly delicious. Suddenly, she was unwilling to share it with Dylan. If he wanted some, he could eat What Sam grilled.
She was the elder, after all. It was already very kind of her not to make Dylan grill the food for her. Did he have the nerve to make her grill for him?
Sam replied, "Yes, ma'am. Is he coming back alone? The amount I brought with me should be enough. I'll grill it later. It won't be as good if it's cold by the time he eats it."
"Sure, just keep an eye on the time. I'll leave it to you."novelbin
Sam assured, "Don't worry. I promise he'll have freshly grilled fish waiting for him when he gets here. Will he be having lunch at home?"
"Of course, he has to. Let Rosella know-she'll see to the menu adjustments. That's her son, after all."
Sam replied in respectful affirmation.
The fish Grandma May had caught were not big, so she soon finished her first skewer. Her second skewer was ready by then.
