Chapter Eighty-Eight: Mother's Family
"Mom, if you have something to say, it's okay." Seeing that my mother was a little cautious, I said a little funny, "What are you careful with your daughter?" ”
My mom pursed her lips, looked at me, and whispered, "That's it...... It is...... Your uncle's cousin ......"
"What?" I was taken aback, "They're coming for you?" When? ”
Since my grandfather passed away, my grandmother and my mother have basically had no contact, not for a year or two, but for nearly ten years.
I thought they would never be in our lives anymore.
"What are they looking for you?" Thinking of the unpleasant things in the past, I lowered my face, "When did I start looking for you?" ”
"Twenty-nine...... That night, I met your uncle's family, and they came looking for me......" my mother became more and more cautious, "but I didn't tell them about our store, or where we lived. ”
"Then how can they know about our recruitment?" I asked, frowning.
My mom hung her head, "It's my fault, I met again on the road a few days ago, I didn't pay attention for a while, they followed me and saw me enter the store." Your eldest uncle asked someone about me, and he came over when you were on your way to school, and happened to see the little advertisement, so he told me to let your eldest cousin follow......
My mom said it lightly, but I knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Although I was still young when those things happened in my previous life, I remember the scene vividly.
I can never forget how my grandmother and uncles kicked my mother out of her mother's house and beat up our family, even Shen Bi and I.
Later, because we didn't have a good time, coupled with my dad's insistence, we broke off with that side.
Now that my uncle first met my mother, and found out that she had opened a store, could he only make such a small request?
They're going to want to take our store away.
I turned my head to look at my mother and asked solemnly, "Mom, tell me honestly, what else did they do, uncle?" ”
My mom turned her face away and didn't dare to look at me, "Actually...... It was nothing, so I took some food and drink, and then I talked about work. ”
"Really?" I expressed disbelief, "Didn't take the money? ”
"I've locked all the drawers, Xiao Jiang, you have to believe Mom, I still have this bit of proportion." My mother smiled bitterly, "I definitely can't give him the money, but if you eat and drink, he said to give it to your grandmother, and I will give it to him." ”
I nodded reassuringly, "That's okay, money is a bottom line, and it must not be given." ”
Otherwise, once you start, it's endless.
"Regarding that job, you can't hire it directly because of relatives, I have to manage a store, which involves a lot of money, and you tell your uncle that you still have to pass the application level." I instructed lightly.
My mom lowered her head and said "um".
I'll just concentrate on my own business.
Two days later, on Sunday, when I didn't have to go to school, I notified the three people who had come to apply for an interview.
These three young people are all in their twenties, one is called Meng Hanlin, with fair skin and very gentle, and the other is called Zhu Lei, with a small flat head and a very stocky head. There is also a man named Liang Sen, who is very tall and thin, a head taller than everyone else, and very conspicuous.
They probably didn't expect me to be the owner of this shop, and as soon as they came in, they found my mother.
The one named Zhu Lei had a loud voice, "This sister-in-law, my name is Zhu Lei, and I am here to apply." ”
My mom looked at me and said politely, "Ah, here, sit down." ”
After speaking, he came out with three cups of milk tea and put them in front of them.
Na Zhu Lei was very polite, picked up the milk tea, and drank half a cup in one go.
Liang Sen also sipped up, but the one named Meng Hanlin smiled at my mother, "This sister-in-law, I came to apply for the job after seeing your flyer, I heard that you applied for the position of store manager, is this store?" ”
My mom stopped talking this time and looked at me.
Meng Hanlin also saw me in my mother's eyes and was stunned.
"It's a store manager." I knew that my mother couldn't stand this scene, so I stood up and said with a smile, "But it's not this store, it's another branch, and it's not in this county, I made this very clear in the flyer, you should know." ”
"Hey, it's a child." Zhu Lei put down the empty milk tea cup and looked at me in surprise while wiping his mouth.
"First, I'm not a kid, I'm the owner of this shop. Second, you haven't answered my question. I raised my hand and shook my index finger.
"Hey, this year's child is really good, he has become a boss at such a young age, and he still speaks with a clear eye, which is amazing." Juley gave me a thumbs up.
I ignored him and set my eyes on Liang Sen and Meng Hanlin.
This Zhu Lei is a reckless person at first glance, and I drove him out of the store manager's choice in two sentences, and now I only look at these two young people.
"I ...... My name is Liang Sen, graduated from junior high school, I used to do food processing, but now I don't want to do it. The young man named Liang Sen lowered his head and said.
I nodded, and secretly commented in my heart: this person is not confident enough.
"My name is Meng Hanlin, I graduated from high school, I used to sell clothes and shoes, and I also sold some snacks, and later I was responsible for batching goods for others in the factory." Seeing that my eyes fell on him, Meng Hanlin quickly stood up and introduced himself, "I also saw that you are recruiting store managers here, and I think it is not a long-term solution to continue working in the factory, so I want to apply for a job and seek a future for myself." ”
"Then why do you think you are qualified for the position of store manager?" I asked, frowning.
"I used to sell fish, and after selling for a long time, I feel like I'm selling, and the manager you recruited in this store is a seller, and I think I'm competent." Zhu Lei patted his chest and said.
Liang Sen looked at me twice, his lips moved, and he didn't speak.
I sighed in my heart, there are many things to face as a store manager, such as the troublemaking of peers, such as the customer's deliberate trouble, and the search for the most suitable and reliable source of goods, etc., this Zhu Lei is careless, Liang Sen is too timid, and he is not the best candidate.
There's no way, I can only look forward to this Sven's Meng Hanlin.
"I think that some things are not clear in a few words, even if it is adaptability, it can be learned, I dare not guarantee how good I am, but I can guarantee that I do things worthy of character and worthy of conscience." Meng Hanlin looked at me and said in a very slow tone.
I looked at him in a daze, not believing what he was saying, but at least, at the moment, he was the best of the three.
"Then ......," I muttered, and was about to say that I would leave them to work in the shop for two days to see their character and ability, when suddenly the glass door behind me was pushed open, and then the sound of heavy footsteps came.
I frowned.
In order not to affect the guests' meals, I deliberately chose the most deserted time period to come to the interview, but I didn't expect that someone would come.
Because Xiaofang and Zhang Xiaofei's mother went to buy the goods, the aunt who pulled the noodles was dismissed by me, and now only our mother and daughter are left in the store.
I turned around and just as I was about to say hello, my mom tugged at my sleeve tightly, "It's them...... It's ...... them."
When I looked closely, it turned out to be a father and son.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a round belly, a kind expression, and facial features that were five points similar to my mother's.
The young man behind him, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, had a gloomy face, and his hair was extremely long, which covered his facial features, and he looked a little gloomy and a little unpleasant.
"Brother...... Elder brother. My mom let go of me and stepped forward a little nervously, "Why are you here?" ”
"What? My sister-in-law's shop, I can't come to see it as an older brother. My eldest uncle Maitreya smiled like a Buddha, touched his round belly with one hand, and looked left and right with the same round eyes, "Oh, the decoration of your store is good, every time I come, I think it's so good-looking, little sister, you really have a vision." ”
After speaking, he found a place to "slip" and sat down.
Seeing this, my mother hurriedly took two cups of prepared milk tea and sent them over.
My eldest uncle glanced at my mother twice, and smiled at my mother while inserting the straw numbly, "Xiaomei, why are you still so polite, we are all brothers and sisters, don't be so polite." ”
My mother smiled, a little embarrassed, "Brother and Taozi still want to eat something, I'll get it for you." ”
My eldest uncle hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, no need, a cup of milk tea is fine." ”
My mom had turned around, but when she heard that, she sat back in her chair.
My uncle's expression was a little not good, but he didn't say anything, just kept looking at the facilities in the store with his eyes, as well as the three of Meng Hanlin.
It was Liu Tao, the cousin who was said to be three years older than me, who threw the milk tea on the table with a black face, and said angrily, "It's easy to see my aunt once, just give me some broken milk tea, what do you mean." ”
My mother was startled, quickly stood up, and brought up the chicken steak that had been fried before and was going to be eaten for me, "What else do Taozi want to eat, my aunt will fry it for you." ”
"Oh, little sister, don't indulge the child, just come and do it, you're welcome." My uncle politely prevaricated.
My mom didn't dare to take it seriously this time, so she hurried back to the kitchen and made two more burgers and some snacks.
My uncle laughed with satisfaction, of course, his mouth was still very polite, but his hand was unceremoniously, grabbed the hamburger and stuffed it into his mouth.
Liu Tao is more powerful than him, while biting the hamburger, he usually stuffs chicken steak in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth keep leaking breadcrumbs down.
I stood aside and felt particularly uncomfortable.
At the same time, I felt deeply ashamed.
I didn't want Meng Hanlin and the others to see the jokes anymore, so I cleared my throat and said, "The three of you will go back today, and come to the store tomorrow to help for three days, and I will tell you whether to requisition you after three days." ”
Meng Hanlin and Liang Sen nodded, and although Zhu Lei was a little reluctant, he still stood up.
At this moment, Liu Tao, who was almost choked to death after eating, and was rushing down with milk tea, suddenly stood up and said loudly to Meng Hanlin, "You don't need it, I won't hire you, hurry up." ”
