When you open your door to do business, you are faced with a variety of people, not only to be able to speak, but also to be able to endure some tricky guests. If you have a straight face, it will be difficult to continue this business.

"I know, before it's open, I'll go to other people's stores and see what they're doing." Guo Zhi has the heart to do business, and he naturally listened to his eldest sister's words in his heart.

Mu Shi was very pleased: "This is the best, much more motivated than in the past." ”

……

The next day was the day when Zheng Rin, Guo Yu and Guo Lin and Liu set sail for the capital, and everyone did not stay for dinner. Guo Mianmian had something to discuss with Chunxiang, so she and Zheng Rin took the child to the workshop in the town.

The town's workshops are larger than those in the village, and can accommodate more workers, and the number of workers is now almost crossing the village.

At present, the tiger head series products produced by the two workshops can not meet the needs of the Zhang family, and new workers are continuously recruited. It's just that the people in the nearby village can recruit very little, and if you want to recruit again, you have to go farther away.

The Zhang family continued to want to increase the supply, but Guo Mianmian could only press it, at least to recruit enough manpower, and she had the ability to relax. This time, I came to find Chunxiang, first, to visit their mother, and secondly, to discuss with her to see if she could recruit more people, even if it was to send someone to a few neighboring towns to recruit a hundred or ten to come over.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, why are you here?" Chunxiang had heard that Guo Mianmian had sprained her foot before, and she hadn't been going out much recently, so she was very surprised by the arrival of their family, so she quickly took them to a quieter study.

"Your sister Zhi'er moved to the town, and today is the day of the warm house, and I came out of her house to see your mother, and my mother made you new cotton clothes, and I brought them with me." Guo Mianmian said, and asked Zheng Rin to take out the burden of the cotton clothes.

Chunxiang took the burden and said: "Our mother has cotton clothes to wear, and so does her mother's Baisuo's family, and her eyes are not very good when she is old, and she is still working hard to do this." ”

Guo Mianmian said with a smile: "Not all mothers are like this, I'm afraid we are freezing and hungry." One day when you are not busy, take the children back to see, the father and mother don't say it, and the heart is very worried. ”

Even if she is in charge of a huge workshop, Haruka is no longer a poor woman who is oppressed by her in-laws and does not dare to resist at all, she is afraid that her children will be gossiped about, so her mother will be instructed and counseled, so she usually rarely returns to the village. If there is nothing important, you can only see their family on days like the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year.

Haruka put the burden on the desk, lowered her head and said nothing.

Guo Mianmian knew her knot, so she didn't oversay anything about it, and asked about the things in the workshop.

"Everything is fine, I have recently recruited a few good people, and now I have gotten started, and I have made my relatives clear." Chunxiang is the most immersed in the operation of the workshop, and in the past two years, Jing has grown very quickly, and he has been able to take charge of the sidelines, talking about the events of the workshop, the aura of the whole person has become different.

Guo Mianmian was very happy and said to Zheng Rin: "It was right to hand over the workshop to Chunxiang to take care of it at the beginning, and see how much heart it saved me." ”

Chunxiang was praised for some not very good benefits: "It's the sister-in-law who taught me well, and it's good to find a few deputies for me, otherwise I'm really going to have a big head." ”

Guo Mianmian was about to say something, when someone suddenly rushed in and startled her.

When the visitor saw Guo Mianmian and Zheng Rin, he was also startled, his face turned red instantly, and he stammered to Chunxiang: "Big, big thing, I'm sorry, oh (me), oh I don't know you have a guest, oh go out." ”

After speaking, he turned around and ran away, and the fast Guo Mianmian didn't see what he looked like.

"Mother, uncle hunts fresh!" Tang Yuan'er frowned, and she didn't understand the uncle's sudden rush in and run out suddenly.

Guo Mianmian was also confused, looked at Chunxiang and asked, "Who is this person?" Listening to the accent doesn't look like it's from our Taoyuan Town. Even in Yunlai County, she had never heard this accent.

Chunxiang's face flashed a touch of unease, and quickly returned to normal: "Zhou Hu is indeed not from Taoyuan Town, his hometown is in Qingzhou, and there was a flood in Qingzhou a few years ago, and their family escaped, and finally settled in Taoyuan Town, and was recruited by me to work in the workshop." ”

Guo Mianmian didn't notice her calmness, and said with a smile: "It's quite honest." ”

Chunxiang nodded: "His father died of illness on the way to avoid disaster, and it was he who brought his mother and sister all the way here." Before entering our workshop, the family of three relied on him to sell his husband to live, and after arriving at the workshop, he also assisted in moving goods, he was an honest man, and he was also very able to suffer. ”

"It's not easy!" didn't expect it to be such a background, Guo Mianmian said sadly: "Are his mother and sister also working in the workshop?" ”

Chunxiang said: "Here, his mother's eyes are not very good, so he pasted cardboard with those aunts, his sister is smart, I saw that it was okay and let her go to the warehouse to pipe needlework." ”

Guo Mianmian didn't care much about the personnel arrangements in the workshop, but when she heard Chunxiang say this, she had a good impression of the three members of the Zhou family: "The family is full of people, and this day will get better and better." ”

As the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were talking, Tang Yuan'er on the side thought she was bored, and quietly pulled her father's sleeve: "Dad, I want to play with Sister Niuniu." ”

Zheng Rin has always been responsive to Tang Yuan'er, so it is not a big deal and naturally depends on her, so he asked Chunxiang where Niuniu went, and took her out after telling Guo Mianmian.

Holding the girl's little chubby paw out, he saw Zhou Hu hesitating under the porch at a glance, and wanted to go over and ask him if he was in a hurry, but before the person passed, the man ran away.

When Tang Yuan'er saw this scene, she looked up at her little head and said affirmatively: "It must be that Daddy is too fierce and scared my uncle away!" ”

Zheng Rin was speechless and patted her daughter's little brain: "Can't you find Niuniu?" ”

Tang Yuan'er closed her little mouth in amusement, blinking her big eyes and pointing at her father's little brain.

The girl is so cute, Zheng Rin can't get angry when she wants to, so she takes her to continue looking for Niuniu.

In the house, Guo Mianmian asked Chunxiang for advice on recruitment.

Chunxiang thought for a while and said: "I can't pull away here, if it's inconvenient to let Zhou Hu's brothers and sisters go, Zhou Xiaomei is smart, Zhou Hu is an honest person at first glance, and he went to the next town to recruit people, and he wouldn't question them if he thought they were villains." ”

Guo Mianmian shook his head: "The accent of the brother and sister is a problem, when people hear that they are from other cities, they must not feel at ease and go with them, and then pick a clever one to go with them, and explain our treatment clearly, it is best to write it down in black and white." ”

If she can find a yamen to stamp an official seal or something like that, it will be twice the result with half the effort, but it's a pity that she doesn't have such a big face, and it's not easy to trust the Fang family for this matter.

Being prompted by this, Chunxiang also understood the accent problem of the brother and sister, so she said: "Then let's pick another woman to go over, and bring a few samples of tiger head clothes and tiger head shoes, I think it will be easier to recruit the right one." ”

Guo Mianmian didn't suggest: "You can do it, and when you choose someone, you can discuss it with them and see if they have a better proposal." This time, a hundred people can be recruited, and each person will be given an extra five taels of silver at the end of the year. ”

Chunxiang smiled: "When I came to the town, I also dealt with many leaders, so you are the most modern!" Peace of mind, with these five taels of silver, they will definitely do their best to recruit people. ”

At this time, the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family in the mouths of the aunt and sister-in-law were talking in a quiet corner of the workshop.

"Brother, why did you come out so quickly, did you make it clear to the woman?" The fifteen-year-old Zhou Xiaomei is taller and taller than her peers, and she looks delicate and smart, and she is staring at her brother with wide eyes at this time, and the words she says are not very pleasant.

"The woman was seeing a guest, and she said unfavorably, "What's the hurry?" Zhou Hu frowned, his face was full of impatience, where was the honesty that Chunxiang said in his mouth.

Zhou Xiaomei pursed her lips and said unhappily: "Oh, who is in a hurry, not for grace?" Don't forget, there are a lot of people staring at this woman, and if you don't do it again, let others take the lead, oh, they will be in vain. ”

Zhou Hu said disdainfully: "A widow with a decrepit eldest brother and two oil bottles, who will treat her as a fragrant dumpling?" When the people are gone, go and say, it won't be ruined. ”

Zhou Xiaomei admired Zhou Hu's skills very much, and when she heard him say this, she was not in a hurry, and said yearningly: "After this vote, you will go away and fly high, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking spicy food for the rest of your life in the future." ”

Zhou Hu seemed to have seen such a wonderful day, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face: "Hehe, when the time comes, I will marry ten or eight girls and give birth to dozens of cubs for him, and I don't have to worry about it when I get old." ”

Zhou Xiaomei was very disgusted with Zhou Hu's hopes, and said: "Ben En is like this, or give birth to a few, so as not to look like En, the man can't marry a wife and children, and the woman can't find a man." ”

It is also fresh, it is the brother and sister of a mother's sibling, Zhou Xiaomei walked out and was a little woman in the mouth of others, Zhou Hu became an ugly person, and it was not too tragic to walk in one place.

Zhou Hu had already endured the reality of his ugly appearance, and he was unstable in Zhou Xiaomei's cold words: "En, a girl knows a fart, men are rich, and some women pounce on them." ”

Zhou Xiaomei was too lazy to argue with him, and prompted: "This workshop is under the name of the sister-in-law surnamed Zheng, I have inquired before, that woman is very powerful, even her man is not easy to mess with, you have to be steady, don't let people see the way." ”

Zhou Hu listened to this, and said: "Oh, I know, Enheniang is also more stable, oh, they have planned for so long, they must not fail." ”

The brother and sister were worried that the wall had ears for people to hear, so they hurriedly said two words and left one after the other, no one knew that in this small no-man's corner, someone was conspiring with a woman with rough luck.

When Guo Mianmian and Zheng Rin returned home with their children, it was already dark.

After dinner, Guo Mianmian was not idle, and began to pack the things that Zheng Rin was going to take away the next day. Clothes and shoes were blocked two days ago, and the dried meat and some trivial items that would be used were dried under the eaves and some trivial items.

At this time, the jerky has been air-dried, and when Zheng Rin takes it off and weighs it, it weighs more than 40 catties. According to Guo Mianmian's thoughts, it is for him to bring everything, and it is not enough for the four adults to eat on the road.

"Half of it is enough, you can't find a stack on the road, and you can stay in someone's house, so you don't have to worry about us going hungry." Looking at the cloth bag that couldn't be stuffed, Zheng Rin couldn't help but be a little ridiculous, and stepped forward to stop Guo Mianmian from continuing to plug it.

"If I didn't know what was going on outside, I would have believed you." Guo Mianmian didn't listen to him, so he took a clean new baggage, stuffed the rest of the jerky into it, and planned some sugar cubes, snacks and the like.

In the past, he fled with Kunkun, and he walked for more than ten days without seeing people. There was nothing to eat, so she and Kun Kun dug up the roots. When she encountered a market or a small town, she didn't dare to buy too much dry food, for fear that her wealth would be exposed.

In the years of escaping, he suffered more hardships and sins than the rest of the decades combined. She didn't want to have everything now, and her relatives were born outside and had to worry about her belly.
