Zhou Jian sat bored in the hall drinking Coke, he has a soft spot for Coke recently, it seems that Coke is already the best drink in the world, while drinking Coke, his eyes swept over the chefs or waiters who received their salaries and bonuses from upstairs from time to time, and his eyes were a little envious.

He was very envious of these people who could receive a salary and even a bonus every month.

And he ...... No, there is none.

He came to the store almost every night to help, just like tonight.

His eldest brother provided him with food, drink, shelter, and education, but he didn't have a salary for him, and if he wanted to use the money, he had to apply with the eldest brother, and if there was a legitimate reason, the eldest brother would give it to him.

To put it simply, he is not short of money to spend.

But he still envied those who received wages.

Asking the eldest brother for money is definitely different from earning money to spend on his own.

But he is just envious, he has no resentment towards his eldest brother in his heart, he is very satisfied with his current life, he has books to read, food to eat, clothes to wear, and when he needs money, he doesn't have to worry about it.

He knew that all this was given to him by his eldest brother, counting on him Lao Tzu?

Thinking of Zhou Taiming, Zhou Jian pursed his lips.

Counting on Mom?

In the past few years, I have lived with my mother, sweeping the floor, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of the baby, and I have done a little badly, not to be beaten and scolded; if I do it slowly, I will be scolded; sometimes I have done it very well even if I am not slow, but I still have to be scolded, and the reason is that it is only because my stepfather is in a bad mood.

So thinking of his mother, he let out a sulk in his heart, compared with the days of recent years, he has no reason to be dissatisfied with his current life.

For a child like him who doesn't care about Lao Tzu and doesn't want his mother, the eldest brother takes him in, and he is very grateful in his heart, although sometimes the eldest brother will scold him and occasionally let him take the blame.

But he is still grateful to his eldest brother, whose status in his heart has long surpassed that of his own parents.

But he still envies that these people in the store can get paid, without it, he is just envious!

Thinking about it, he took another sip of Coke, and a poem flashed inexplicably in his mind: The ancient sages were all lonely because they had no Coke......

Originally, it was just a sentence in his head, but after he finished it, he suddenly found that it was quite rhyming?

So he was happy, sitting alone by the window and giggling, he felt that he was a great poet who had been delayed, and this talent should be compared with others, right?

At this moment, Tian Lu came down from upstairs to receive his salary, and walked over with a spring breeze on his face and tilted his head to the smirking Zhou Jian, "What are you smirking at here? Go up! Your eldest brother asked me to call you up!"

"Huh?

Zhou Jian was stunned, stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, unable to believe it.

Tian Lu glanced at him and smiled, "What? You don't want money, then don't go!"

"Why don't you go? Are you stupid to me?"

Zhou Jian immediately came to his senses, immediately got up, took three steps and made two steps, and trotted upstairs.

The door of the office on the second floor was open, Zhou Jian came over to look inside, and saw that the eldest brother was sitting behind the desk counting money, he immediately showed a smirk, walked over with a smile, bared his teeth and asked, "Big brother, hehe, and mine?"

Zhou An ignored him and continued to count his money, the red tickets were rattling, Zhou Jian looked a little hot, and a little sneering, touched his nose, and sat down opposite the desk.

After a while, Zhou An finally counted the banknotes in his hand, and then raised his eyes to look at him.

His eyes fell on the Coke in his hand, and he taught him angrily: "You know to drink Coke all day long, and be careful of infertility in the future!"

Zhou Jian smiled for a moment, quietly hid the Coke bottle behind his waist, and said speechlessly: "Big brother, don't curse me, I'm only 14!"

Zhou An glanced at him, casually threw a few red bills in front of him, and said casually: "Take it to flowers! Don't be too little! Don't take it if it's too little! Also, don't be stupid and take it to buy Coke, it's no good to drink too much of this thing!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

Zhou Jian didn't care about Zhou An's words, he picked up the banknotes in front of him and counted them, 6, and his face immediately bloomed.

Zhou An got angry when he saw his appearance as a fan of money, "I'll buy you clothes and shoes! It's about to be the New Year, go and add two sets of better clothes and shoes for yourself, I don't have time to accompany you, you go buy them yourself! Don't wait for the New Year, it's still an old clothes, I'll cut you when the time comes!"

"I see! Don't worry, I promise not to buy Coke, there are so many ...... in the store anyway"

In the last sentence, his voice dropped by a few decibels, making Zhou An so angry that he almost hit him with something.

Quickly stuffing the money into his jeans pocket, Zhou Jian hesitated and asked: "Big brother, why don't we make money if we have money?" Someone came to order a celebration banquet and a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, why did you refuse? We are in such a big place now, it's not that we can't get it!"

This question has actually been held in his heart for several days.

Zhou An glanced at him and said casually: "What do you know? This is not a problem you should worry about, just go down if you have nothing to do! Remember to buy clothes and shoes." ”

"If you don't say it, how do you know I don't understand?"

Zhou Jianlai couldn't get up in his chair.

Zhou An looked at him, thought about it, put the money in hand into the drawer, and then said a few words to him, "There is a specialization in the art industry, have you ever learned this sentence?"

Zhou Jian nodded.

Zhou An: "I guess you haven't studied either!"

Zhou Jian protested, "I've learned!"

Zhou An: "Don't blow it! Don't put gold on your face if you haven't learned! In short, this is the truth! Our store is positioned as a supper, we don't often hold wine banquets, and the decoration of the store, the dishes in the kitchen, and the experience of the waiters are lacking! Rather than finally making people look down on the technology and service of our store, it is better not to do it! Make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, understand? Do bad things, do less!"

Zhou Jian sighed as if he didn't understand, Zhou An smiled when he saw it, and waved his hand to signal him to get out.

He knew these truths, and even if he said it, Zhou Jian might not be able to understand it.

……

That night, Zhou An's store got off work very early, and the time was just after 12 o'clock, and when he saw that there were no customers in the store, he simply let everyone get off work.

"Let's clean up and get off work! Go back early to rest, everyone will have a holiday from now on! Go back and have a good year, let's see you next year!"

Some people shouted "Long live the boss!", some people shouted "Boss, you are so handsome!", and some people shouted "Happy New Year, boss!"

Xiaomeng took the opportunity to shout boldly, "Boss, I love you!"

Everyone began to pack up their things with a smile, and no one took her words seriously, even if they knew her thoughts, they just smiled and looked at her.

Xia Wenjing stayed until the end and handed over tonight's accounts to Zhou An.

- Five hundred.

When handing over the accounts, she casually asked, "Xiao An, are you going home tonight?"

"Why don't you go back for a while? You and your brother-in-law go home tonight?"

"We'll go back tomorrow, it's too late and the road outside is slippery. Will you go back tomorrow too?"

"Look! I estimate that I will have to live in the county seat for a few days, and the new house in my hometown has not yet been renovated, and the old house is estimated to be unaccustomed to living now. ”
