The Xin family's small restaurant has been almost furnished, because the restaurant is a two-story restaurant, which is more than the original small shops in Panxi Town, so there are many people to hire.

Xin Ping and Jiao Niang decided to hire people from the victims outside the city, at this time, many of the victims who could return to their hometowns had already returned to their hometowns, and some of them wanted to do business, but they had no way out, and they were still stranded outside the city.

These men built simple grass huts outside the city and went into the city every day to find their way. The brother and sister summed it up and rented a yard in the city for the guys to live in, and they could make some vermicelli or sell it in the yard.

On this day, Xin Ping and Jiao Niang drove the carriage to the outside of the city, and the west side of the city was the place where the government let the refugees gather. I saw dense grass huts and shacks one after another, and many children were running around playing between the grass huts and the shacks.

Xin Ping pointed at two of the children and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that a stone pillar and a cinnamon branch?" Jiao Niang took a closer look, and among the several mud monkey-like children, two of them were really children from the same village before.

"Stone pillars, cinnamon branches!" Xin Ping waved his hand at the two children, the two children obviously knew Xin Ping, and they happily rushed over to Xin Ping and Jiao Niang to call uncle and aunt.

Jiao Niang touched the heads of the two children and asked, "What about your father?" So the two children walked up and down from one hut to another, until they came to a hut-like house.

There was a fierce noise coming from here: "Big brother and sister-in-law, you are too selfish. If you don't go back to your hometown to farm, you have to drag a large family to work in this place! This voice was the voice of Song's second sister-in-law.

"You call me sister-in-law, so I kindly take you here with me. What's so good about that township? You see, after the drought and the rebellion, who will take care of us? At least something happened in Luonan City, and there was no need to starve to death. I must take the stone pillar and the cinnamon branch to gain a foothold in Luonan City! This voice is from Ding Lilian, the sister-in-law of the Song family.

"Ahem, I think the second family is right, we don't go back to our hometown to farm, why are we suffering this crime here? When I went back later, my family's land was deserted. What do you say, eldest and second? ”

Father Song of the Song family actually agrees with returning to his hometown, and having a house and land at home is ten million times better than living in this shack!

Second Brother Song hurriedly said, "Go home!" Let's go today! ”

Brother Song was silent for a while but said firmly: "I think what Lilian said is right, we are a little bitter now, and in the future, when the child has a foothold in Luonan City, we will also be relieved." ”

Xin Ping and Jiao Niang looked at each other at this time, standing here as if eavesdropping on others, but it was embarrassing to walk in rashly. At this time, Shi Zhu shouted: "Mother, Uncle Xin Ping and Aunt Jiao Niang have come to see you!" ”

The curtain was beaten up by Sister-in-law Song, and when she saw that it was her former fellow countryman, Sister-in-law Song showed a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face.

Father Song in the house saw that the Xin Ping brothers and sisters nodded, turned around and said to Brother Song, "Boss, we will split up from now on." There is nothing left at home now, the house you live in is still reserved for you, and the rest is given to the second and second children, and they will support me in the future! ”

After saying that, Father Song took a few mouthfuls of Song's second family and left, Brother Song smiled bitterly and said, "Let you see the joke, Xiaolian quickly pour a glass of water!" ”

Xin Ping hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, Brother Song, are you going to be in Luonan City?" ”

Brother Song nodded and said, "Xiaolian and I still think that Luonan City is better in this drought, and no one will care if something happens to us there." It's not that we ran fast, but we all starved to death in Dingcheng. ”

"And what are your plans next?" Jiao Niang looked at this simple shack, it was really uncomfortable and unsafe to live here.

"Xiaolian and I are not young anymore, and what we can find is very limited. But recently it has been relaxed, and we can go to the city, and I plan to look for it again, but if I can't do it, I will be a merchant. Brother Song smiled bitterly, although they wanted to stay in Luonan City, but they were old and had two children, so it was naturally difficult to find a job.

"That...... Is Brother Song interested in helping out in the restaurant? We are planning to open a new small restaurant, and we will hire people to come out today. Xin Ping asked tentatively.

"Yes!" Brother Song said excitedly, then hesitated and said: "But I'm so old, and I'm dragging my family, to be honest, restaurants generally employ young people." Don't ...... you want to help me."

"Brother Song thinks a lot, we just think that people who know the root are more at ease. And you and your sister-in-law are both neat people. ”

Jiao Niang said with a smile, this is the truth, Ding Lilian is a rare neat person in the village, with a clear mind and an orderly work. It's not so much that she wants to hire Brother Song, but that she wants to hire Ding Lilian.

"Since you trust me and Yunhui, we won't shirk it. We will do our best to do a good job in the restaurant! Song Ding knew that his family urgently needed this job, so he agreed directly without refusing.

"Then it's decided, two taels of silver per person every month, food and lodging are ours, and tomorrow we will come to the carriage to pick you up. Brother Song, you are familiar with this place, we also need to hire a cook and two reliable men, do you think there is a suitable person? "The Xinping brothers and sisters plan to develop some side jobs, so they hire more people.

Brother Song thought for a while: "There is a person, it turns out that his parents are specialized in village banquets, and he is not far from our house with a teenage child." He wanted to work with his son, so no one hired him until now. ”

When Xin Ping heard it, it was quite suitable for their family, and the child happened to be a little second. Then he said to Brother Song: "Then bother Brother Song to help us go, if they are willing, let them go to the restaurant with us tomorrow to try their skills." ”

The chef is the soul of a restaurant, and Song Yunhui naturally accepted the chef Jiao Niang's desire to interview in person.

After the Xin Ping brothers and sisters left, Song Ding had time to talk to Brother Song, and she was deeply moved by Xianggong's willingness to turn his face with his father-in-law and uncle in order to support her: "Xianggong thank you." ”

"Xiaolian has wronged you, I know you are for the good of our family, don't worry! I'm going to work hard, and we'll get a foothold in Luonan City. Song Yunhui knew that although Song Ding's temper was sometimes bad, she was dedicated to their family.

Song Ding looked at her father-in-law, and her heart was as sweet as eating honey, but when she thought of what her father-in-law said, she suddenly felt bad in her heart: "My father-in-law is really, they are all biological sons, his heart is too biased, we have worked hard at home for so many years, which means that we have not received anything." ”

In fact, Song Yunhui's heart was not comfortable, but he was the one who raised him, and he couldn't say anything. This time he refused to go back to his hometown because the children gradually grew up, but his father was partial to the second family, and the children's food and clothing were not as good as the second family, and it was nothing to suffer a little by himself, but he was afraid that the children would resent him when they grew up.

"Xiaolian, let's work hard in the future, there will be everything!" Song Yunhui held Song Ding's hand tightly, he only had Xiaolian and the children now.
