The next few days were much smoother, several shops were still on the same track, a lot of money came in, and Xi Hongdou didn't have to go to the restaurant every day to watch.

The shop opposite the grain store was closed, and it used to sell fabrics, but because of poor management, it wanted to rent out, and for a few days someone came to ask, and soon someone came to take over.

The boss of the cloth village that took over changed the plaque and put firecrackers to open the business, and the movement was not big, and he sent some tea to the surrounding merchants to say hello.

"The boss is a woman, and the work in the store is also a woman." Sister-in-law Hu said: "I saw someone on the day I delivered the tea, and they looked beautiful!" A few people were chatting.

When Xi Hongdou heard that it was a female boss, she was a little kind, but she felt that the female boss seemed to have a cold temperament, and it was not easy for her to come to the door directly, so she could only wait for the opportunity to deal with it again in the future.

It's just that Xi Hongdou didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon, and in the afternoon, the cloth village next to him caught fire.

In the afternoon, everyone was sleepy, and there were not many people on the street, Xi Hongdou was about to doze off when he looked at the account book, and then he felt smoke drifting over.

Sister-in-law Hu ran over from the backyard at this time and shouted: "Oh no, there is a fire next to it, it's too close to the backyard!" ”

The backyard of the grain store is not only inhabited by people, but also the warehouse of reserves, which would be unimaginable if there was a fire!

Everyone hurried to extinguish the fire, but fortunately, in order to prevent open flames from causing fires, there were several large tanks in the backyard all year round, and the water in them came in handy at this time. The fire spread from the yard next to it, although the fire in his yard was extinguished, but the fire source had not been extinguished and the problem was not solved, Xi Hongdou hurriedly asked everyone to go around the back door and help the people in the yard next to him to extinguish the fire.

After the chaos, the fire was finally paved, Xi Hongdou looked at the female boss and female buddy in the yard next to him, and asked, "Are you okay?" Why did it catch fire? ”

At this time, the female boss had been burned with black ash on her face, and seeing that the fire was extinguished with the help of others, she wanted to thank her, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, but the handkerchief was also black.

"Come with me and wash up first." Xi Hongdou asked someone to go with her and let her guys come back first.

Sister-in-law Hu got a basin of water, and after the female boss washed her face, Xi Hongdou looked at it and felt that what Sister-in-law Hu said was really right, and she was really a big beauty.

The female boss's surname is Ruan, but she is out, and Xi Hongdou is the same age, she is a newcomer, and she has no relatives in Kyoto City, if it weren't for Xi Hongdou's righteous help, her own shop would have been completely set up, otherwise the whole street would have to burn in.

"How can it catch fire?" Xi Hongdou asked, Buzhuang should also strictly prohibit open fire, and there should be no such low-level mistakes.

Nguyen said, "That's it...... It's just careless. ”

Xi Hongdou always felt that this Ruan family didn't seem to be easy to speak, and it was estimated that there was a bit of a hidden meaning in it, so she couldn't ask anymore, so she said, "People aren't hurt, right?" ”

"No, whatever your house burns, I will compensate according to the price." Nguyen said.

Xi Hongdou was stunned, but forgot about his own losses, and looked at Sister-in-law Hu.

"The firewood at the base of the wall has been lit." Sister-in-law Hu said, in addition, the wall is blackened, and there is nothing else to lose.

"Then it'll be fine, and you won't have to pay for it." Xi Hongdou said.

Ruan Shi was embarrassed, so he said, "I'll have someone bring firewood to your house later, I can't bother anymore, I have to go to clean up the aftermath over there." ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, and watched Ruan go first.

Sister-in-law Hu said: "Look at this character, he is really a cold person. "I don't like to talk very much, how can such a person be in business, how can he greet good customers?

Xi Hongdou asked people to clean up the yard, and the vat was full of water again, and then he went home first.

The next day, Qiao's came to the shop, and when he saw Xi Hongdou just there, his face was happy.

"Boss, I want to find a job, are we short of people?" Qiao Shi said.

Xi Hongdou saw that Qiao's wanted to do something, so he asked: "The eldest sister got the money, she didn't have to work, if she did the work, who would take care of the two children?" "Especially when the child is still young, he can't do without people.

Qiao said: "I can't be idle, when I work, just let the child play next to me, and when my son is older in two years, let him go to private school, and I have nothing to let go." She does get a lot of money, but it is also left for the child, she can't sit on the mountain, now she finds a job to subsidize the family, and the money can be saved, and the son can marry his daughter in the future.

Xi Hongdou saw Qiao's insistence, so he said: "That's okay, there is one less helper who wears meat skewers in the barbecue shop next to it, so let's go there to help, but this is a downtown area, and the child has to watch it." ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely watch it!" Qiao Shi smiled and went directly to the barbecue shop.

Sister-in-law Liu saw Qiao's coming to be a helper, so she first taught Qiao's how to work, and Qiao's learned quickly and quickly got started.

Sister-in-law Liu has good news, a few days ago, it was hot, vomiting and diarrhea, and they thought it was something that was eaten badly, and then Fang Langzhong came to take a look and said that she was pregnant.

"Your belly is also angry!" Xi Hongdou said with a smile, Sister-in-law Liu and Zhao Fengqi have been married for more than half a year, and it is not surprising that they are pregnant at this time.

Sister-in-law Liu smiled and said, "You all have children, don't I look greedy?" She also thinks that life is wonderful, at this time last year, she still thought that she could accept it when she was lonely for the rest of her life, and now that she has a husband, she sees that she will have a child.

"In the future, if there is any heavy work here, let the guys help, don't be tired, otherwise Mr. Zhao will have to pierce his eyebrows and heart with his red tassel gun, and he will have to kill me!" Xi Hongdou smiled, several married women got together, and there were many topics.

When I returned home in the evening, Mrs. Xiao was busy working, and after Xi Hongdou asked, I found out that it was someone from the Xiao family's hometown.

"Isn't there no one else?" Xi Hongdou asked, when she came to the door, she also went to the Xiao family's hometown in Jiangnan, and she didn't have any real relatives.

Mrs. Xiao said: "They are all surnamed Xiao, and they haven't had much contact for so many years, and now those who come to Kyoto City to ask for help can only be entertained." "If this is not a good reception, when they return to their hometown, they have to be arranged to forget their ancestors, in the end, it is also for the sake of face.

Xi Hongdou understood, the person who came was arranged in the wing room on the side of the West Courtyard, and the place with their female dependents was far away, and there was basically no chance to meet.

After eating, Xi Hongdou ate in her room, and Xiao Zhi told her that she would come back later in the evening, so she went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Lin Da and his brothers came, and Xiao Zhi directly asked people to go with him, and after so many days, it was time to do something useful.

"Young Master, can we go to Baishan Hall?" Lin Da hesitated a little, several of their brothers are rough people, do some hard work, it's okay to be thugs, that Baishantang is all old and weak, women and children, and they can't read big words, I'm afraid they will do bad errands.

"It's okay, go, that's what you want like you." Xiao Zhi said: "You just said that it was nearby, and the children at home were lost, and I want to go to Baishantang to see if there are any children of my own." Then he directly stuffed the money, saying that he didn't find the children, and wanted to ask them for more help, and it was best to live in Baishantang after that. ”

When Lin Da heard Xiao Zhi say this, he could only do this first, but he was enough for one, and the other three brothers were watching around, in case something happened or was exposed, don't suffer a loss.

Lin Da was stunned for a moment, looking like a businessman, who was originally unkempt, but he looked like a stupid person with a lot of money.

When I went to Baishantang, I looked from place to place, and when the steward saw that strangers were looking here, he came over and asked, "What are you doing?" "Sneaky people don't look like good people either.

Lin Da used the set of rhetoric that Xiao Zhi taught him at this time, and said cryingly: "I lost the child, I want to see if the child is in Baishantang!" ”

When the steward saw it, he asked, "Then you have also seen it, have you found it?" ”

Lin Da shook his head: "No, there is no here, but I heard that all the children who have been abducted, if they can be found, they will be sent here, can you let me stay here, I want to wait!" ”

"That's not going to work!" The steward said, "If it's okay, let's leave quickly, don't hang around here." ”

As soon as Lin Da saw this situation, he directly took the silver ticket and stuffed it into the hand of the steward, and said: "Official, please, I was originally a businessman, but now my son is lost, my mother-in-law is crazy because of this, and she died of depression after a few days, all my hope now is to find my son before I die, you take this money, as long as you let me stay, I will definitely repay the official!" ”

The person in charge was not very interested in Lin Da's miserable experience, but the silver ticket in his hand was real, and when he saw that the face value was not small, he hesitated for a moment and said: "That's okay, you stay, work for a shift, take care of one meal a day, and the salary is ......."

"You can pay for it, as long as you keep me!" Lin Da hurriedly said.

When the steward heard this, there was a smile on his face, and he could deduct half of his salary, and the remaining half went into his pocket.

The person in charge threw him to the concierge and left first, Lin Da saw that people were far away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really nervous to let him act, but fortunately, the person in charge only recognized money, so he could get through so easily.

Looking at the brothers under the big tree not far from the gate, Lin Da gave a thumbs up, indicating that the infiltration was successful.

Xiao Zhina quickly received a report from the Lin family brothers, smiled and said, "You can act in a few nights." ”
