Whether it was in the past life or now, the power of gold is huge, and overnight, Lu Xiumei has become synonymous with nouveau riche, which makes her annoyed.

"Auntie, I want to go to work with you too, is that okay?"

This is Lu Feng of the second uncle's family, since he heard about his cousin's work treatment, his eyes have turned red with envy. She was the same age as Li Dong, but she was not admitted to college, and found a job as a dishwasher in the town, tired and half dead all day long, only 90 yuan a month.

"Feng, my aunt's family doesn't need anyone for the time being, but don't worry, next time you recruit someone, my aunt will definitely recruit you in." Lu Xiumei carefully comforted her, blaming her for not thinking about it and underestimating everyone's desire for work.

"But auntie, I really want to go, or you can let me give you a hand, you don't have to pay me a salary, and when there is a vacancy, I will officially work and receive a salary." Lu Feng is not stupid, she knows that the job is in demand, and she wants to go to the card position first.

Lu Xiumei was a little moved, yes, no matter how she said it, she was the boss, she couldn't stay in the vegetable market every day, it was not bad to have a helper.

"Auntie, I think you recruited your cousin, anyway, it won't be long before our family may have to open a third branch, so we should train in advance." Li Dong also persuaded on the side, on the one hand, it was indeed a business expansion need, and on the other hand, he also saw his cousin's hands, frostbite and peeling, which made him feel compassion.

And this is just right, the two uncles are one family, so it will not cause conflicts, as for the third uncle, the children are too young and not yet of working age.

"Thank you, cousin, thank you, auntie, I'll go tell my dad the good news." Lu Feng didn't wait for her aunt to answer, she preemptively settled the matter, found an excuse, and quickly slipped away.

"Dongzi, is this okay? Don't have no job opportunities for your cousin when you arrive, we still have to raise an idler. Lu Xiumei said worriedly, according to the meaning of the eldest son, this is normal employment, and the treatment is the same as Lu Ling.

"Auntie, I think this is very good, even if you don't open a store, you can take more rest and care more about the lives of your younger brothers and sisters."

"Forget it, anyway, you have a reason for what you say."

……

After staying at my grandmother's house for a day and a half, after lunch at noon, Li Dong's family left with Lu Ling and Lu Feng.

Back home, Lu Feng chose to sleep with Lu Ling, after all, the two grew up together since childhood, and they are very familiar with each other. The little girl happily moved to her eldest cousin's bed, leaving her double bed with her two cousins.

The Spring Festival holiday is only three days in total, and the harsh living environment cannot tolerate the spirit of pleasure. The school starts on the fifth year of junior high school, and there is no summer or winter vacation, and students need to complete all the courses in seven and a half years.

Early the next morning, Lu Xiumei took her two nieces to the vegetable market, and Li Dong had already prepared vegetables in advance. This time, the little girl didn't follow, Li Bing and they were at home on vacation, so they could just take care of her.

Li Dong said hello to his family and went to Qianhe Road, where there is also a vegetable market, and he plans to open a branch there. The Qianhe Road vegetable market is far away from my home, and there are residential areas nearby, which are almost twice as large in size.

Walking into the vegetable market, many shops have already opened, but the flow of people is not very large. Li Dong asked for the address of the market management office, and finally found the management office.

"Hello, eldest sister, I want to rent a shop, is it here?" There was only one middle-aged woman cleaning in the entire office, and Li Dong hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"yes, I'll wait until I'm done sweeping the floor." The eldest sister seemed a little impatient, and it was understandable that it was really tiring to clean the entire office by one person.

Li Dong is not an inflexible person, he picked up another broom and helped clean up together, don't always complain that others are not close to people, this is how the goodwill comes.

The eldest sister's face really looked a lot better, and she acquiesced to Li Dong's help. The speed of the two of them was still very fast, and in less than half an hour, the office was completely cleaned up.

"Thank you, young man, you have helped my eldest sister a lot." The eldest sister seemed very enthusiastic, and took a towel for Li Dong to wipe his hands.

"Eldest sister, my name is Li Dong, you can call me Dongzi, anyway, this is idle, what's polite." Li Dong showed a shy smile.

"Okay, Dongzi, let's get down to business, you're going to rent a shop, right?"

"Yes, eldest sister, you have to pick a good one for me." Li Dong said flatteringly.

"Of course at that time, the eldest sister was not an ungrateful person, let's go, I'll take you to the field to see."

After walking for more than 30 minutes, the two looked at a total of five shops, and the locations were not bad, Li Dong finally chose a shop near the door, mainly because he was confident in the quality of the vegetables in the space. The total area of the shop is 36 square meters, and it is divided into two rooms, the front and back, and the back can be used as a warehouse, which is very thoughtful.

"Well, now that you've chosen, let's talk about rent, are you renting on an annual basis or on a monthly basis?

The rent is 2,200 yuan for an annual rent and 200 yuan for a monthly rent. If you want to rent for a long time, the eldest sister still recommends that you rent it on an annual basis. ”

"Okay, just do what you say, eldest sister, I choose to rent it on an annual basis." Li Dong is not a bad money person, and he doesn't want to waste his eldest sister's favor for this little money.

"Okay, Dongzi, since you are so refreshing, then the eldest sister will handle the formalities for you. Is the rent brought? If you don't bring it, you can hand it in tomorrow. ”

"Bring it, eldest sister, don't worry, you will need to take care of it in the future." Li Dong took the opportunity to pull relationships, and it was easy to do things with acquaintances.

After signing the contract, Li Dong got the key to the shop. Fortunately, the previous tenant left a lot of shelves, although it was not free, but it also saved Li Dong a lot of trouble. Through the introduction of the eldest sister, Li Dong purchased some usual necessary items, such as brooms, scales, incubators, ropes and knives, and there are quite a few of them.

"A-Niang, I have already rented the branch, it is in the Qianhe Road vegetable market, I will take you to see it later, clean up by the way, let's strive to open tomorrow."

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten lunch, Li Dong immediately announced the good news. Lu Ling was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect her cousin's speed to be so fast, thinking that she was about to manage a shop, she was both excited and apprehensive.

"Really? So soon, that's okay, wait for our whole family to go and see it together, so that everyone can recognize the way by the way. Lu Xiumei made a decision with a wave of her hand, and she couldn't wait to set off immediately.

"Auntie, this is it, what do you think?"

Li Dong opened the door of the shop and handed her the key. Lu Xiumei put away the key, glanced at it, and replied excitedly:

"It's good, it's much better than the old store."

After speaking, he took everyone to look back and forth, and then instructed everyone to start cleaning. Li Dong didn't stay, but went to the warehouse in Tanggou Town, where he needed to transfer the vegetables out of the space. Recently, the production of vegetables in the space has skyrocketed, and there will be more and more in the future, and he needs to speed up the pace.

"A-Niang, I shipped the vegetables back." Li Dong drove Master Wang's tricycle back, and Master Wang happened to have something at home and couldn't leave, so he had to go out in person.

"I'm just waiting for you, the hygiene has already been done." Lu Xiumei complained and began to beckon everyone to carry the vegetables.

I worked until six o'clock, and all the preparations were finally completed. Lu Xiumei was holding a small notebook and was checking the quantity, after all, she didn't manage it personally, she needed to register in detail, this was responsible for herself and Lu Ling.
