Chapter 106: The Wang Family
This problem is solved, when it comes to the most important shopkeeper candidates, the Gao family and his wife are a little hesitant, they are all from poor families, write their own names, and calculate a small account, but if they want to support a shop, it is really a little difficult, but if Rui Xue hires another shopkeeper outside, it is very easy to estrangement from their husband and wife, and it becomes a more difficult problem for a while.
Rui Xue guessed one or two, so she smiled and said, "The new shop is in Dongcheng District, where the villagers get along very closely, and it is inevitable that there will be some xenophobia in comparison. The bolt has been working in the dock shop for a year, and the abacus accounts are skillful, although there will definitely be shortcomings in being a shopkeeper, but it is better that he was born in Dongcheng District, and Brother Wang is also a little thin, which is all help. Brother and sister-in-law of the Gao family, what do you think? ”
The Gao family and the husband and wife glanced at each other, their faces were flushed with joy, they were very familiar with the bolt, this kid and the big strong sunspot played well, and he was clever and sensible, and he was very loved by them, if he was the shopkeeper, after all, he was still young, and he would rely on them a lot on weekdays, and he would not be arrogant and domineering, and it would be easy to talk when he had something to discuss, so he was naturally much better than other candidates.
The couple agreed, and Gao Fuquan said with a smile, "Brother Bolt, he looks clever, and he is familiar with the face, he is really in charge of the shop, and we will help more in the future, and it will be smooth." ”
Cui Niang also said, "I like the child with the bolt, don't look as big as a sunspot, but it is much more promising than the greedy child in my family, the mouth is sweet and clever, and after a year or two of training, he must be a good shopkeeper." ”
The two of them are the backbone of the shop, since they are so hands-on in favor of the shopkeeper candidate, it is naturally better, but only Cui Niang is busy in the kitchen, but it is definitely not enough, although the shop is full of ready-made wine and food, and it is not as hot as the dock shop, but those chicken feet and pig trotters and pig's heads are also extremely time-consuming to pick up, so why do you have to find another person to help.
Several people discussed for a long time, and unanimously proposed that it would be best if they could invite the mother of the plug, because the kitchen involves secret recipes, the fewer people in contact with the better, and the more you can keep the secret, the better, and the bolt is Ruixue's apprentice, and their Wang family has a better life and how much Ruixue's light is stained, how to talk about the Wang sister-in-law can be trusted, and it is better to be close to home, good popularity, with their mother and son, even if the shop is half of its own shop in Dongcheng District, everyone can not be excluded.
Even if the matter is settled, the corner of the dock shop has been completely dug up, Rui Xue invited Sister-in-law Zhang to come over, and Sister-in-law Zhang was happy to hear that the bolt has this good creation, and shouted that she and Cuilan would be more busy in the future, and bring back the accounts of the dock shop every night to Rui Xue for a look, and then make another arrangement when there is a suitable shopkeeper in the future.
There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Rui Xue instructed Cui Niang to buy a few fat chickens in the village, remove the hair from hot water, clean them, and then change their dresses, and go to the new shop with Wu Yu, who stepped on the cloud and the moon and Wu Yu, who volunteered to lead the way.
A few carpenters, who are re-oiling the tables and chairs in the store, and then carrying them to the sun, Gao Fuquan boiled a large pot of herbal tea, served a big tea bowl, and every time there were villagers who passed by to stop to see the excitement, they all shared a bowl with him, but also made a good popularity, and left a few words of praise.
The bolt's family lives in the East Third Lane outside the two alleys, with two small wooden doors, hanging a sign with the word "Wang Zhai", although it was blown by the sun and wind, and the original paint color was withdrawn, but it was surprisingly dustless, and it was obvious that it was often wiped on weekdays, which made Ruixue, who had never met with the bolt mother, couldn't help but be very satisfied.
A woman who can wipe the door number spotlessly must be a clean and neat woman, such a person in the back kitchen, but it is rare to find a good candidate.
At this time, it is nearly noon, the small yard is very quiet, in the three blue brick houses, the shadow of the east house is more than enough to have someone talking, but it is too vague, and can not distinguish between men, women and children, under the two laurel trees in the corner of the yard, surrounded by a small fence, a few hens with wings, digging soil, from time to time cooing and competing for a soil worm, more quiet in the small courtyard.
Wu Yu glanced at his sister lightly, and when he saw her nodding, he stepped forward to call the door, "Is the aunt of the Wang family at home?" ”
As soon as his words fell, a six- or seven-year-old girl ran out of the room, with a small two braids hanging on the side of her head, a white duck egg face, some baby fat, big black grape-like eyes blinking, very cute, Xu thought that it was an acquaintance of her own family who called the door, the little girl looked forward to it, but when she saw the stranger, she immediately felt disappointed and bitter face, turned around and shouted, "Mother, there is a guest at home, I don't know Yezi." ”
At this time, a woman in her thirties was wearing a washed white blue cloth dress, her black hair was very neat, there was no messy hair, her eyebrows and eyes were very good, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was always smiling, she slapped the very little dust on her body, and at the same time blamed her daughter and said, "You girl, you have forgotten the rules again, and the girls should speak quietly." ”
The little girl stuck out her tongue, smiled at her mother, and then pointed out the door, "Mother, it's them!" ”
The woman looked up in the direction of her daughter's finger, was slightly stunned, and then immediately ran to the door in surprise with three steps and two steps, opened the wooden door, and asked, "But, the master of the bolt?" ”
Rui Xue smiled lightly and bowed her head, "The sister-in-law of the Wang family has good eyesight, and she is the sister-in-law." ”
Sister-in-law Wang's face was even more joyful, rubbing her hands, she didn't know what to do, and said in a loud voice, "How can my sister have free time here today, the weather is so hot, and the plug said that my sister is pregnant, why do you still run so far?" ”
There are so many questions, Rui Xue didn't know which one to answer for a while, so she had to continue to smile, Wu Yu felt sorry for her sister who had stood for so long, so she said loudly, "Auntie, my sister can't stand tired, can she go into the house to sit?" ”
Sister-in-law Wang reacted at this time, she also blocked Ruixue at the door, immediately blushed, helped Ruixue and walked into the house, complaining, "I'm just clumsy, I forgot such an important thing when I was happy, sister, don't blame me." ”
Rui Xue of course smiled and shook her head, the little fat girl tilted her head strangely, watched Da Zhuang and Kuroko follow in, and then closed the wooden door of her house.
The group sat down in the hall, and Sister-in-law Wang turned over the best set of tea bowls in the house, poured the herbal tea on the table, and served it to Ruixue with some apologies, and said with a smile, "Sister, there is no good tea at home, it's rough, don't mind, quench your thirst, next time your sister-in-law will definitely buy better tea for her sister-in-law to drink." ”
Ruixue took her hand and said with a smile, "As long as you can quench your thirst, it's good tea, where you can talk with a lot of silver, sister-in-law, don't be polite, I'm not an outsider." ”
"That's right, my sister is the master of my suppose, and the supposer has not caused you much trouble this year, not to mention anything else, only our family has followed the light, and each of us has a round face." After Sister-in-law Wang finished speaking, she pulled the little fat girl who was snuggled beside her over, and said with a smile, "You don't talk often, the food that your eldest brother brought back is good, this is your eldest brother's master, don't hurry up and salute, call your aunt." ”
The little girl smiled and saluted, her voice was soft and delicate, Rui Xue loved her very much, pulled her into her arms, took a box of snacks brought by the family, stuffed it for her to eat, and coaxed the little girl to smile sweeter.
A few people laughed and said some gossip, Wang's sister-in-law obviously loves the eldest child very much, and asked a lot about the little things in the shop, and at the end there is still a little worry in the eyes, as a mother, they are eager to put the child in front of them all the time to rest assured, but unfortunately the child is older, and there is always a time to fly out, and their hearts have become a few intestines, and they have been worried and have been thinking.
The little fat girl, when she heard her mother talk about her eldest brother, she was blunt, pouted, and said, "The eldest brother hasn't come back for a month, and Ye Zi and the second brother miss the eldest brother so much." ”
Sister-in-law Wang was afraid that her daughter would say this, which would cause Ruixue to misunderstand, after all, the bolt is now in the shop, eating, drinking, and living, not tired, and can still learn, and can still get paid home every month, which is already an excellent treatment in a group of neighbors who have children as apprentices, their family is not the greedy person who was struck by lightning, but there is no complaint, she hurriedly pulled her daughter over and reprimanded, "You girl, where do you miss your eldest brother, do you want the good food he brought back." ”
The little girl still wanted to speak, but she was pinched by her mother, and she immediately felt aggrieved.
Rui Xue took a sip of tea, no longer verbose, returned to the point, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, I came to the door today because I had something to ask for, but I didn't expect to talk to my sister-in-law about speculation, but I forgot about the business for a while." ”
"Something?" When sister-in-law Wang heard this, she was stunned, and she didn't care about coaxing her daughter, so she immediately said, "Sister, although my eldest brother is a small official, he has a few friends over the years, and he has been blessed with his sister, and this year things are more comfortable. ”
If the neighbors come to the door on weekdays, what do they ask for, they will inevitably have to drag it out, after all, they can't bring their own family to the burden, but it is Rui Xue who speaks, who is the master of his son, and the benefactor of the family, if he resigns, it will be too ungrateful.
Seeing her so solemn, Rui Xue guessed that she was afraid that she was crooked, so she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law don't worry, it's not a big deal, speaking of which, sister-in-law is afraid that she has also heard about it, our house has just set up a new shop in our Dongcheng District, which is a two-story building not far away." ”
Sister-in-law Wang wrinkled her eyebrows and thought about it, and her eyes widened with some sudden realization, "Sister is talking about the idle building at the entrance of Dongyi Lane, I have been busy doing needlework these days, and I haven't gone out, but I have heard a few words from my neighbor, it turns out that my sister bought it." It's good now, the shop is so close to home, and the sister may often come to sit with her sister-in-law in the future. ”
Rui Xue nodded and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not just that, my sister-in-law's joy is still to come." Our neighbors here, although the days are not very rich, but they have all passed, I am ready to sell this new shop to drink and eat, but at the beginning of the city, there are many unknowns, presumably in the future when the store opens, there is still an acquaintance Zhang Luo, so I want to transfer the bolt to the new shop as the shopkeeper, I don't know what my sister-in-law wants? ”
