Yao Xiuyun rode to the south of the city to look at the newly renovated shops on both sides of the street, and when he arrived at the crossroads, he saw Lin Lan's Lanxiangzhai at a glance.

She got out of the car and parked the car at the door, picked up a stack of firecrackers from the back seat, said hello to Yang Liying at the door and entered the shop, and a sweet fragrance came to her nose: "It's so fragrant, what do you have to eat?" ”

Lin Lan picked up a piece, took a bite with a click, and smiled smugly at her: "Rice candy, you're here just when it's ready." ”

"Hee-hee, it's better to come early than to come at a good time." Yao Xiuyun said and took off her gloves, took a scarf and put it aside, washed her hands and picked up one and ate it, "Yes, crispy and delicious." ”

"Go sit in the house for a while." Lin Lan picked up a few and put them on the plate, and asked Qiaohui to pick up some in the tray and send them out for Yang Liying and them to eat.

Yao Xiuyun pointed to the firecrackers: "The firecrackers were sent by my family, Dingbang's family, and my eldest brother's family, Uncle Da's family, I wish you a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Lin Lan smiled and brought a chair for her to sit down, "I'm too busy, so I'll have to wait for Xiang Yang to come back and then invite you to dinner." ”

Yao Xiuyun said with a smile: "You are not free to invite us, you don't know that the end of this year is very busy, Dingbang has not come back from a business trip until now, and Dongzi is busy handing over to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau." I worked overtime for a few days, and Xiao Man still hasn't gotten off work. ”

Lin Lan smiled and handed her a glass of honey water: "Have a cup of sweetness, treat our Officer Yao." ”

"Thank you!" Yao Xiuyun took a big sip before looking at Lin Lan and said, "I'm talking about Dongzi's cousin Xiang Qun, a very neat person, who has a son who is in the second year of junior high school in the city. A good person is a bad life, and his cousin-in-law, who is only thirty-five years old, is gone. ”

"She and her cousin-in-law looked for it by themselves when they went to the countryside, and the couple had a good relationship, but she didn't want to look for it again after her cousin-in-law got sick and left. After the cousin-in-law left, the mother and son all relied on pasted paper boxes and their mother's family to help them live. ”

Lin Lan nodded without consideration: "Okay, you take her to the department store at noon tomorrow, I'll take her to the shop to have a look, and then tell her some store rules." If she is willing to stay, her salary will be the same as Xiaoxue's, thirty yuan a month, and a commission of one hundred yuan and five dimes. ”

Yao Xiuyun looked at Lin Lan gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Lin." ”

When she heard that Lin Lan's clothing store and department store were going to recruit people, she wanted Xiang Qun to come to Lin Lan to help sell clothes, but she was worried that she wouldn't do business.

Later, seeing that the two girls of the Shui Qing family had learned, she felt that Xiang Qun should be okay, and when she learned that Lin Lan's big material shop was going to recruit people, she immediately asked Lin Lan to keep the position for Xiang Qun.

Lin Lan smiled: "You and I don't have to be so polite, if you want to thank you, there are more places for me and Xiangyang to thank you!" ”

"You're not welcome to each other." Yao Xiuyun looked at her and said sincerely, "But relatives are relatives, if Xiang Qun violates the rules of the store, if it is serious, he should be dismissed, don't think too much." ”

Lin Lan responded quickly, and said: "I have made some new varieties in the past few days, including peanut nougat, egg yolk crisp, and bring them back when you go back later, and bring some to my uncle and grandmother by the way." ”

"Okay, you bring it to me, and I'll go back." Yao Xiuyun got up and walked two steps with Lin Lan, and suddenly remembered something, "Yesterday, two groups of people came to the police station to ask me if the shop was rented, and I don't understand this, how much do you think is appropriate?" ”

Colleagues at the police station were envious of their vision to buy the shop early, and said that the current façade house could not be bought even if they had money.

Lin Lan shook her head with a smile: "I really haven't paid attention to this, I'll help you inquire tomorrow." ”

Yao Xiuyun nodded: "You inquire, I'll decide." ”

Lin Lan filled them with peanut nougat, egg yolk crisp and rice candy, and Yao Xiuyun left with his farewell.

Yang Liqun came over and said to Lin Lan: "Zhixue and Zhilin are keeping vigil in the shop at night, you don't have to keep someone to keep vigil." ”

Lin Lan nodded happily: "It's best if you have the ambition to learn from them, take a key to him when I leave." ”

Yang Liqun smiled: "Okay, let's go back first." ”

Lin Lan and the others were busy in the shop until it was almost dark, and said hello to the Wang Zhixue brothers who were keeping vigil next door, closed the shop and went back to Lexing.

Xiaodouzi stood at the gate of the courtyard, and greeted Lin Lan happily when she saw her go home: "Mom, we have a holiday, why did you come back so late?" ”

"Mommy is busy." Lin Lan gave him the faucet, helped him hold it, and asked with a smile, "How many days do you have a holiday?" ”

Xiaodouzi leaned sideways, clattered on the bicycle pedals, and responded loudly: "Let it go for a month, and I won't sign up until March 1st." ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Tomorrow I will take my homework and go to the shop to write, and help my grandparents watch the shop." ”

Xiaodouzi replied without hesitation: "Okay." I will settle the accounts, and I will help my grandmother settle the accounts when someone buys something. ”

"My son is really capable." Lin Lan kissed him, held the bicycle and let him ride twice in the yard, Wu Shufen shouted that it was time to eat, and the mother and son stopped the car, closed the courtyard door and went to the stove room.

During the meal, Lin Changyou frowned and said: "Today we saw a three-handed man touching other people's pockets on the bus, and he was not afraid of being caught, and he threatened others to be careful." ”

"That is, the tall young man would rather be a thief than do his job." When Wu Shufen said this, she suddenly remembered that when she opened the door at home, the originally closed courtyard door was pushed open by someone, "Xiaolan, there is so much bacon hanging at home, you can't leave people." ”

Xiaodouzi looked at her and said, "Grandma, the thief came in to steal our bacon, and I beat him with a big stick." ”

Tong Xinglan nodded: "Let Wangcai bite him." ”

Lin Changyou remembered the thief that night: "Your aunt and I are shallow, let's sleep in the wing room tonight, and Xinglan and Qiaohui will sleep in the room." ”

"Grandpa, I'll accompany you and grandma." Xiaodouzi pulled Lin Changyou and said.

"Good grandson," Lin Changyou picked him up, "You are still young, when you grow to the size of your uncle, your grandfather will let you sleep in the wing room to keep vigil." ”

Xiaodouzi patted his small body: "Alas! How long will it take me to grow to my uncle's size? ”

Tong Xinglan said: "Douzi, if you eat five meals a day, you will grow up next year." ”

Xiaodouzi rolled her eyes at her: "Cousin, don't think I'm small, I don't understand anything." ”

Tong Xinglan squatted in front of him, looked at him and asked, "Little one, what do you know?" ”

Xiaodouzi looked at her: "Brother Kai said that the girl who gave birth to a milk doll only eats five meals a day. ”

Wu Shufen said happily: "Today's children are a little older, and they know everything. Everyone laughed.

After eating, everyone got busy, Lin Lan and Qiaohui peeled pumpkins, and Wu Shufen peeled bean skins, pounded bean paste, and bean paste.

Lin Lan finished all the pumpkin pie blanks and put them in the baking tray, and Qiaohui took the baking tray and took the alarm clock to the oven to bake.

Just after ten o'clock, Brother Yong came to pick up Lin Yuezhen.
