Hongzhu went to the restaurant and told Second Uncle Li about the Zhu family, and he was unconsciously busy for a long time. When the sky darkened, he was a little free, but Hongzhu was young and a little tired, so he found a place in front of him and sat down and poured tea and drank it, but he didn't want to move.

Zhong still had two desktops that had not been cleaned up, and when she saw Hongzhu sitting down, she couldn't do it, so she simply threw a rag and sat over. Second Uncle Li came out of the kitchen, and when he saw that Hongzhu and Zhong were like this, he frowned and thought about it, but said, "I can see that someone has been invited to do the work." ”

Zhong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but did not speak.

Hongzhu's heart moved, glanced at Zhong's family, and didn't respond to Second Uncle Li's words, only said: "Alas, what is the matter, I thought that we would be able to get out of the Zhu family and work on this food shop, but I didn't think that now there is something to do in three days and two days, but the second uncle and the second uncle are tired." It's all my fault. ”

Zhong didn't appreciate it, but only glanced at Hongzhu angrily, "How do you say this, I am afraid that I will be angry and complain about you, you don't have to sell this good man, go and ask your second uncle first, do I have any strange words? ”

Hongzhu knows about Zhong's person, if she doesn't care about these things at all, Hongzhu doesn't believe it. But if she has a grudge, she is not. Zhong is just an ordinary person, when he is eager to help others, and when he is picky and selfish, he is very real.

At this time, after listening to Zhong's words, Hongzhu just smiled and said, "Even if I said something wrong, the second uncle also knows that I am stupid, don't blame me." After a pause, he said: "But I have a lot of things here, and I have delayed a lot of work." The second aunt doesn't blame me, I blame myself in my heart. ”

Zhong shook his head and said, "Okay, who doesn't want to be smooth at home, now that you have something, it won't be me and your second uncle Li in two days." Left and right, that's all there is to it. She thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm not stingy with money to invite people, this work can't be done, I always have to add people." I'm used to setting up a stall before, and I'm busy with many things, and I'm born with a hard life, and I didn't think about it for a while. ”

Second Uncle Li said: "I have already thought about this, the stall is busy, it is also a matter of half a day, even if it is so busy that there is still half a day to rest, where is it to change to a shop? Speaking of this, Second Uncle Li's expression was both annoyed and happy, and he said: "I didn't mention it before, but I was worried that this restaurant would not be open for a long time, and I was afraid that it would be prosperous for a while, so I wanted to do it for a while and see if I wanted to talk about it...... This drag, that's it now. ”

Hongzhu smiled and said: "I have long felt sorry for my second uncle, but I just think that if I invite someone, I am afraid that my second uncle will not say that I feel sorry for my second uncle, but will scold me for not having a long nature, and scold me for only a few days of work and thinking about being lazy." After saying that, he clapped his hands and said, "Now that the second uncle has mentioned this by himself, it saves me a scolding." ”

Zhong Shi was angry and wanted to hit her, raising his hand to scare, "You girl, what are you talking nonsense here?"

Hongzhu also twisted her body to hide in fear, but said with a smile on her face: "Alas, I said it wrong, it's not that I feel sorry for my second uncle, it's that my second uncle feels sorry for my second uncle." (.advertisement)"

Zhong couldn't cry or laugh, he really slapped her on the head, and only scolded: "This ghost, you really dare to laugh at anything, you have to clean you up!"

Hongzhu was really afraid of her, smiled at her with a begging face, and said to Second Uncle Li: "Second uncle, Second Uncle is annoyed and angry, she is willing to do what you said, you quickly agreed and asked her to spare me." ”

Second Uncle Li couldn't help laughing when he said this, "Come on, this matter is decided, I'll go find someone when I go back." ”

Zhong nodded, thought about it but said suddenly: "In my opinion, it is better to find a half-old child to be an apprentice, diligent and obedient." She smiled and said very bluntly: "In the end, we are still a small shop, and we make dim sum, so we can't find a chef." If you can take in a primary school apprentice, you can save some wages. ”

This is what Zhong would say, but Hongzhu agrees with it. In recent years, there have been a lot of apprentices, and even the Zhu family's grocery store has also recruited primary school apprentices. Most of these apprentices are half-grown children around ten years old, or they are poor, or they want to find a serious way out, so they have apprenticed to various shops to learn the trade. If this apprentice wants to learn a trade, it is not like doing a serious job, and some of the master's family only allow food and lodging, a few clothes, New Year's festivals or some holidays and pocket money, but there is no serious salary.

In the previous dynasty, this apprentice entered the master's house, and he was not allowed to leave without the master, if he met a powerful master, not only beat and scolded others, but also became a teacher, and he had to work for the master's family for several years in vain. That is, the business of this dynasty has been prosperous recently, and the rules of this slave apprentice are not so elaborate than before.

If you can find an apprentice, it's a good thing to be serious. It's just that those who want to be apprentices have some heart in the end, and most of them are also clever, even so, they are willing to find a serious restaurant to learn art, such as a small shop like them, I really don't know if I can find a good one.

Zhong naturally thought of this, but she said optimistically: "Find it first, and don't delay the matter, right?" Ming'er, I'll talk about this outside, and if not, I'll talk about it again." ”

Since she said so, Second Uncle Li and Hongzhu also responded.

After being busy with the evening market, when Hongzhu returned to Zhu's house, Li was really still there, and when asked about her, Li still said that he would not go back. Hongzhu was puzzled, and didn't say anything in front of people, but after eating, she avoided people and asked her what the hell was.

Li Shi only said: "What's the reason? I also spoke to my mother before, saying that now the family is busy, and my foot is injured, and I don't want to talk about the delay when I walk at both ends, I'm afraid that I will be tired and uncomfortable on my feet." She said it would be better to stay for two days and talk to her more. I saw the sincerity of what she said, and it was not easy to refute her. And I see that the house we lived in before the New Year was also cleaned up, so I was about to prepare your second uncle and them to come back to live, so I went in with Pan'er and swept the bed again, but it was appropriate, and it was okay to stay for a few days. ”

Hongzhu frowned, "Mother, it's only been a day and a half, how can you get along with your grandmother, and still have the leisure to stay and talk to her?" According to me, since you hurt your foot, then you can stay at home and take care of it, and you don't have to run to the Zhu family." ”

Li Shi smiled slightly flatteringly, and said: "Hongzhu, I am alone when I go back, and I remember you here, I am worried about where to rest, and I still know something about here." Your grandmother also said first, if you keep me, you won't ask me to work, just add someone. ”

Hongzhu knew that she couldn't move her when she heard it, so she said, "I remember what you said, it's really good if you do this." If you are tired from doing work here, and your injuries are even worse, I will not agree, and no matter who sends a message to keep you, I will immediately call a cart to send you back. ”

Li Shi laughed after hearing this, "Okay, I know that you are filial." Your grandmother has already said it, and now you are really in charge, and I don't listen to you for anything. ”

"You really have to listen. Hongzhu also smiled, and told the Li family about the restaurant saying that it was going to invite someone. The matter at the restaurant was originally Hongzhu's idea, and the Li family knew that the second uncle Li also agreed, so they had nothing else to say.

The next day when he asked about the situation of Sanbao, it was the doctor who said that the hot poison on his body had been sent out, and the fever and itching were very uncomfortable, but most of the diseases were like this, and when the hot poison came out, the pox was dehydrated and scabbed, and it was all right.

When Hongzhu heard what the doctor said, her heart was much more relaxed, and she felt that she could go home. Just seeing that Li's feet still need to be rubbed, I also want her to raise them for two more days. Li didn't go back, so Hongzhu brought some snacks home from the restaurant, thinking about giving them to Aunt Gu's family and He Mingheng next door, so as to thank them for their help last time. Aunt Gu was at home, and Hongzhu came to the door and talked to her mother-in-law. It's just that He Mingheng is busy with something, Hongzhu went twice in the morning and evening, but he didn't see him, so he had to keep it and thank him later.

In the blink of an eye, the day before Zhu Boxiu's exam, the Zhu family became nervous early in the morning, and it seemed that everyone was busy preparing for something. Zhu Guida is okay, although he is in a trance, he still opens a shop. And Jiang's is not ordinary, she has been running for her two sons for the past few days, and she is so busy that her feet don't touch the ground, and she grabbed it early in the morning, and started to be angry, first pointing at Pan'er and scolding, and then bumped into Zhu Zilan boiling medicine, even she couldn't get used to it, and she threw things hard at Zhu Zilan, only scolding Bai Chang for being such a person, and not doing any work.

It was still Mrs. Zhu who could hear what was said in the house, which made Jiang reluctantly stop his anger.

Hongzhu saw it, and secretly said that this is because Zhu Zilan can't work, according to her, the Jiang family has endured Zhu Zilan for a few days, and now she is nervous and unhappy, so she can't hold back anymore. Jiang was angry that Zhu Zilan was reluctant to get close to Zhu Sanbao's house, blaming her for being cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and ignoring the slightest affection of her sister and brother.

However, the meaning of this is that Jiang Shi did not say it explicitly, although Zhu Zilan knew it, but she did not have the face to argue with herself, and listened to Jiang Shi pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, she actually endured it abnormally.

Hongzhu only felt that this thing was not completely right, and she had already made up her mind that it would not be mixed reads;. When I saw it, I just chattered twice in my stomach. She only thought that Zhu Boxiu was about to take the exam, and she finally survived.

Hongzhu still went to the restaurant and had nothing to do for a day, but in the evening, someone came to the restaurant. Hongzhu was in the kitchen when she suddenly heard Zhong shouting: "Hongzhu is coming, who do you think is coming back?"

Hongzhu was strange when she heard this, so she heard someone call her: "Sister, I'm back!"

Hongzhu was suddenly surprised and delighted, and couldn't care about the work in hand, as soon as she turned around, she came out, and only said, "Wenhan, why are you here?"

"Sister!" Cheng Wenhan stepped forward with a smile, and couldn't help complaining: "I just went home first, why is my mother not at home?" ”

"She's in the Zhu family. Hongzhu said that they had stayed at Zhu's house to help in the past few days, and asked him again: "Why did you come back suddenly? There is no letter to say, but what is the important matter?"

There is a holiday in this academy, but it is less, there is only one day in ten days, and only the festivals of Qingming and Dragon Boat Festival can be held for three or four days in a row. It is not worth it to go down the mountain and go up the mountain on the first day of the month, and Cheng Wenhan and others have just entered the mountain, in order to show that they are concentrating on their studies and making progress, they rarely asked for leave in the past few months. When he went first, Hongzhu had already said that he would go to see him once a month, and he usually had something to do just ask someone to send a letter, if there was nothing to do, then he would obediently study and not be allowed to play. Cheng Wenhan didn't say anything else, Hongzhu believed him in this obedient word, so he suddenly saw him at this time, only to feel strange, for fear that something important would happen.

Cheng Wenhan only said: "There is something, but it's not my business." He smiled flatteringly, "Isn't Ming'er the county exam?" Mr. Jiang has a few senior brothers who have taken the exam, and he has a few words to instruct, and I can hear it, so I asked for this errand to run errands. ”

Hongzhu suddenly thought about it and said: "It's all at this time, where else is there anything to hurriedly instruct, if you say that the exam is important, the gentlemen have already said it, and they will not wait until this time." If you say anything at this time, he is not afraid that if he says it, it will make people's hearts more uncomfortable?" She glanced at Cheng Wenhan and said, "I'm afraid it's not that you want to be lazy, so you deliberately found a gap to go down the mountain." ”

"Sister! Mr. Jiang really called me here. Cheng Wenhan was not convinced, but he didn't dare to argue anything. Because Hongzhu was still half of the winner, he was somewhat weak-hearted.

Hongzhu smiled, and was very happy to see his brother, so he didn't embarrass him.
