Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu also had some smiles on their faces after seeing Dong Lei come out on crutches.

Dong Shu first glanced at his cousin's complexion, and saw that his face was ruddy, so he stretched out his hand to Cuihua, took the two packs of dim sum, and said in front of his cousin: "I didn't bring anything valuable, two packs of dim sum that I thought were good to eat, bring them to my cousin to taste." ”

Because Dong Shu directly explained that the dim sum was for her cousin to eat, Dong Zhen, who was holding her brother, was embarrassed to stretch out his hand to the dim sum.

When a few people walked to the Dong family hall and sat down, Dong Shu wanted to watch his cousin speak, but Xu Shiqiu gently pulled his sleeves.

Sensing Xianggong's movements, Dong Shu remembered that there was still a Dong Zhen here.

Although Dong Zhen is not very old, he is also an age that can learn to speak, and the fewer people who know what he wants to say today, the better.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu naturally gave up the intention of speaking immediately, and instead began to look at his cousin's legs to see how he was recovering.

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu's movements are not secretive, Dong Lei saw that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were afraid that they were coming to find him today, so he immediately handed one of the two packets of dim sum to Dong Zhen and said: "Go back to your house to eat, you can only eat one piece, and leave the rest for your father and mother and your sister to eat when they come back." ”

Maybe it's because Dong Lei used to take money from home every month, so Dong Lei is still very useful to talk at Dong's house, even if he has been at home for two months now.

So after Dong Zhen heard what he said, he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only respond obediently.

When Dong Zhen happily left with a bag of snacks, Cuihua also consciously walked outside the hall and stood up, and then Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Lei and spoke.

"I'm looking for my cousin today, and I want to ask you something." Xu Shiqiu did not change his attitude towards Dong Lei because of his skyrocketing net worth now.

Just because the little lady said that Dong Lei's cousin was the best person for her in the Dong family, Xu Shiqiu was willing to regard this man younger than him as a relative.

Xu Shiqiu's attitude also made Dong Lei a little nervous, he didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was asking himself.

But after all, he worked as a buddy in an outside restaurant, and he had seen a lot of all kinds of people in those two years.

So even if he was nervous, he didn't show anything, but nodded and said, "Third prince, please ask, I will tell you what I know." ”

After Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Lei's words, he didn't delay any longer, and said directly: "I have a few shops in my hands now, and the nearest one is a two-story restaurant in the county.

The restaurant was originally rented to someone else, but I recently wanted to take it back and put it in the name of the lady, and then open a teahouse, which is considered the dowry of the lady.

It's just that I don't know much about this business, but I have a few good scripts in my hand, and I also have a way to make cheap and good tea, but I don't understand this business.

Thinking that my cousin had worked in a restaurant before, I wanted to ask my cousin if he would like to go to the county to help the lady look at the shop.

Of course, I also heard the lady say that my cousin doesn't know many words, if my cousin is willing, while my leg is not good now, and the contract of the store has not expired, I just go to Xu's house every day to follow me to learn literacy and how to settle accounts.

Would my cousin be willing to do this? ”

Dong Shu and Dong Lei didn't expect Xu Shiqiu to say such a thing directly.

Especially Dong Shu, when he was still at home before, Xu Shiqiu just said that he wanted to ask his cousin, but he didn't say that he wanted his cousin to be in charge.

As for Dong Lei, he used to work in a small restaurant in the town, because he was active, he stole some words from the account office, but he was definitely not the material for doing things.

But he didn't expect that as soon as Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, he would let himself be in charge.

Although he also said that he would let him go to Xu's house to learn literacy and settle accounts first, Dong Lei subconsciously felt that this was his brother-in-law wanting to help him for his cousin's sake.

Thinking of this, Dong Lei immediately looked up at Xu Shiqiu and shook his head and said: "I understand the kindness of the third son, but I know my own ability, if you lack a buddy, I won't say a word, I will definitely go." It's just that I can't do it. ”

Dong Lei told the truth, he didn't feel that because he was his cousin's cousin, as long as he opened his mouth, the position of the steward must be his.

He understands his abilities, and he has always been clear about a sentence, how much he can do.

Even if the shop was given to his cousin by the third son, he couldn't take over the incompetent stewardship.

Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Lei refuse without hesitation, and felt more and more that he had not seen the wrong person.

He also understood that Dong Lei's current ability might not be enough, but since he wanted to thank him, he naturally thought of this problem in advance.

"Cousin doesn't need to refuse so decisively, your leg is not good now, and the contract of the restaurant has more than two months to expire.

When the contract expires, the shop will have to be re-furnished by workers, and it will take at least three months before it can reopen.

In these three months, my cousin's legs will definitely be good, and you can also take advantage of this time to study hard.

If your cousin is not at ease, when your leg is good, I will send you to other shops in the Xu family to learn from those stewards. ”

When Xu Shiqiu said this, Dong Lei was already moved, but maybe he still had other scruples, so he didn't speak.

Seeing that Dong Lei was obviously moved but hadn't spoken yet, Xu Shiqiu finally had to sigh and said, "Cousin doesn't know, our Xu family split up a few days ago. Because of what happened to me before, there are few caring and useful people around.

On the lady's side, only you can help us in this matter. If you can take over this business, in a few years, you can also help the lady manage several other shops.

I am going to put all the shops that I get from the division under the name of the lady and keep the children born to the lady in the future.

If you don't want to help, my wife and me, but there really is no one to help. ”

Dong Shu didn't expect Xianggong to say such a thing to his cousin in such a tone.

She stared at Xianggong in surprise, but saw that Xianggong would quietly wink at her.

After receiving the hint from Xianggong, Dong Shu suppressed the question that was originally going to be asked.

Dong Shu wanted to speak when Xu Shiqiu said that she had no one to help just now, after all, she remembered that some time ago, Xianggong wrote a letter to go out and find someone to help.

Dong Shu knew this, but Dong Lei didn't know.

Dong Lei thought about Xu Shiqiu's words, and also understood what Xu Shiqiu meant.

Because Xu Shiqiu had been staying at home before, and because of his unlucky physique, there was no intimate helper around.

And from what Xu Shiqiu said just now, Dong Lei could also feel what he meant.

Because his cousin's maiden family is not obvious, there is no way to give her a good dowry, so if he misses this opportunity, he may really have no chance to help his cousin.

Thinking of the Xu family's family, and I heard that the Xu family's big house and second room came back a few days ago, Dong Lei was also worried that his cousin's temperament, as well as the Dong family's family, would make his cousin suffer in the Xu family.

Seeing Dong Lei frowning and thinking deeply, Xu Shiqiu immediately turned his head to look at Dong Shu and glanced at her.

After Dong Shu received Xu Shiqiu's hint, she immediately looked at her cousin and said, "Brother Lei, my husband is good to me and thinks about me everywhere."

But you also know my temperament, the affairs of the store, I'm afraid I can't manage it.

If you don't help me, I'm afraid that Xianggong's thoughts will be in vain. ”

Dong Shu just finished saying this according to what Xu Shiqiu had taught him in advance, and Dong Lei, who was still immersed in his thoughts just now, immediately came back to his senses, looked at her and nodded and promised: "Shu'er, don't worry, there is a cousin, and the cousin will definitely take care of these shops for you." ”

Listening to Dong Lei's assurance, Dong Shu immediately turned her head to look at Xu Shiqiu, and the beautiful crescent moon's eyes were full of pride and joy.

Xu Shiqiu looked at the little lady with a smug face, couldn't help but smile, and nodded at her, then looked at Dong Lei and said, "Since my cousin should do this, how about going to Xu's house tomorrow to follow me to learn literacy and settle accounts?"

It just so happens that I want to teach my mother to read and read the account book, and you all of you, after learning this, my cousin's legs should be good.

Then I'll ask an old steward to take my cousin to learn how to run things. ”

Xu Shiqiu had thought about how to arrange the rest of the matter before he came, so after meeting Dong Lei's consent, he immediately told him about his arrangements.

Dong Lei also understood that since he said yes, there was no possibility of repentance.

However, he thought about it and felt that he should give himself a chance, if he could really become the steward of the teahouse, and later, slowly, he could also become the chief steward.

As long as he works hard and learns more things, he will definitely be able to change the situation that the family now sells his sister for twenty taels of silver.

Dong Lei didn't say this idea in his heart.

But Xu Shiqiu calculated his thoughts, so he would say these words to him today.

The things that came here today have been done, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were just about to get up and go back, and Dong Lei opened his mouth to stay as a guest.

"Stay at home and eat today, right? I asked Dong Zhen to call Dong Miao to come back and cook. Dong Lei was unable to move, and as he spoke, he was ready to get up and call Dong Zhen, who was hiding in the room, to come out.

As soon as he heard this, Dong Shu immediately shook his head and said, "No need cousin, we are here to talk to you about this today." Tomorrow you will go to Xu's house to learn to read and settle accounts with Xianggong, and it is better to rest early tonight. After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and then said, "Do you want me to have someone pick you up tomorrow?" ”

Dong Shu looked at Dong Lei as soon as he finished saying this, Dong Lei smiled at her and shook his head: "Shu'er, don't worry, although my cousin's leg is broken, he has crutches." Tomorrow I'll finish breakfast and go slowly. ”

After all, Dong Lei is also a person who has seen the world, he understands his identity, where would he agree with what Dong Shu said to let people take over his affairs.

What's more, this thing in charge is said to help my cousin, but after all, it was my brother-in-law who gave me a chance.

With this job, he will definitely be able to earn money quickly to fill the hole in his family.

After seeing his cousin's thoughts, Dong Shu did not insist.

But she thought about it, and finally ......
