Chapter 163: The Rivalry Between Brother and Sister
"Brother Xi, when were you discharged from the hospital? I don't know, by the way, how are you recovering now? Look at you, you have come to thank me, you should be recuperating at home now! What are you polite to me? Come on! Come in and sit! Come in!"
Xu Tongdao said kind words while walking to the door of the store to welcome Dongyang and Xiaoqian.
Although he usually doesn't talk much, it doesn't mean that he can't speak.
In contrast, today's drama Dongyang is a little unable to speak.
Seeing that Xu Tongdao was so enthusiastic, Xi Dongyang squeezed out a stiff smile, and with the support of his sister Xi Xiaoqian, he walked into the store and whispered: "Yes, you helped us when our family was in the most difficult time, we should come to the door to thank you." ”
His sister Xi Xiaoqian was much more eloquent, at this time she looked at Xu Tongdao with a grateful face, and said: "Yes, you not only saved my brother, but also saved our grandfather, during the time when my brother was hospitalized, it was the most difficult time for our family, but at that time, my grandfather was sick again, and he was also hospitalized, and relatives and friends were afraid of us for a long time, and no one was willing to lend money to our family, if you didn't lend us money, the consequences would ...... I really didn't dare to think about it, really, so ......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped and bowed to Xu Tongdao seriously, but I don't know why, at that time, a certain plot of a TV series that Xu Tongdao had watched before suddenly flashed in her mind.
- The heroine was forced by her boss to bow and apologize to the customer, and the heroine was also desperate, bowed once, then bowed again, and after the second bow, she was ready to bow for the third time.
At that time, the customer's face turned green, and he hurriedly flashed to the side before the heroine bowed for the third time.
Seeing her bowing, Xu Tongdao hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Xiaoqian! Xiaoqian! Don't do this! We are all friends, you just don't treat me as a friend!
In the latter sentence, he asked Dongyang about the play.
In fact, it was already late, because Xi Xiaoqian had already bowed with a bow.
She looked at Xu Tongdao's eyes still full of gratitude, "Xiao Xu, of course you are our friend, but we are grateful to you, and it is true." Don't worry, we will borrow your money, and we will definitely pay you back in the future!"
Xi Dongyang hummed, "Yes!
Xu Tongdao shook his head again and again, "Don't worry, don't worry! Since you are friends with me, don't say thank you in the future! Come on! Sit!"
When Fuxi Dongyang sat down, Xu Tongdao turned around and ordered: "Lin Zi, go and pour tea! What are you doing in a daze?"
Xu Tonglin agreed, and immediately got up.
......
Next, Xi Dongyang and Xi Xiaoqian said some words of thanks, and the tea brought by Xu Tonglin didn't mean to drink it in their hands.
What made Xu Tongdao and the others feel strange was that the brother and sister had already finished saying thank you, but they didn't mean to get up and say goodbye at all.
Xu Tongdao asked them if they had dinner and invited them to have a working meal together, but the brother and sister also declined.
So what are they doing here if they don't say goodbye?
Is it just that you want to sit here for a while?
Xu Tongdao didn't think it was quite like that.
Because he noticed that Xi Dongyang wanted to speak several times and stopped, and also noticed that Xi Xiaoqian gave Xi Dongyang a look several times.
But Xi Dongyang couldn't open his mouth several times.
Do you want to borrow money from me?
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Tongdao secretly frowned in his heart.
It's not that he is stingy, but he feels that the brother and sister are a little unconscious.
He Xu Tongdao and their brothers and sisters are not related to each other, but they have cooperated to set up a stall for a period of time before, and their family has an accident, and he has lent them a total of 3,000 before and after.
Three thousand dollars is not a small amount in this era.
Sitting in the countryside, many families can't earn so much money in a year.
And he Xu Tongdao just opened a new store recently, even if the two of them don't know that he Xu Tongdao also borrowed money to open a store, they can always see his current two stores, right?
They should be able to guess that he doesn't have much money right now.
In this case, they also come to borrow money...... Excuse me?
With these thoughts in his heart, Xu Tongdao still smiled on the surface and asked: "Brother Xi, Xiaoqian, do you still want me to help with anything? ”
As soon as they dared to speak, he immediately refused.
He has a good heart and can help them once or twice, but he can't lend them money again and again.
Nor did his money come from the wind.
The purpose of his efforts to make money is not to be a bad person.
Xi Dongyang opened his mouth, and his pale face began to redden, but he still couldn't speak.
Seeing him like this, Xu Tongdao smiled and was about to say something more.
Xi Xiaoqian couldn't help but speak, "Xiao Xu, that's the case, we, we just want to ask you, do you still need someone here? Waiter, washing dishes, and doing chores, I can do it! You can just look at the salary, you see...... Okay?"
Xu Tongdao frowned and looked at her.
The request came as a surprise to him.
"You're not studying?" Xu Tongdao remembered that she was in high school.
Does she also have to learn from him, Xu someone dropped out of school to earn money to support her family?
Xi Xiaoqian smiled bitterly, "My family is like this, I ......"
"No, Xiaoqian! What did we say before we came? Who told you to make your own decisions?"
Xi Dongyang, who had been talking and stopped just now, suddenly became angry at this time, glared at Xi Xiaoqian, and interrupted Xi Xiaoqian's words in a deep voice.
Then without waiting for everyone to react, he stood up on the table, stretched out his hand, and pulled his sister Xi Xiaoqian behind him, he himself met Xu Tongdao's half-squinted gaze, and squeezed out a smile, "Xiao Xu, don't listen to Xiao Qian's nonsense! It's not her who is looking for a job, it's me! We discussed it when we were at home, we came over today, in addition to wanting to say thank you to you, I also want to ask you if there is a shortage of people here, I, I want to come to you to work, you can see the salary, do you like it?"
"Brother, you still have to recuperate......"
Xi Xiaoqian, who was standing behind Xi Dongyang, couldn't help but speak.
was interrupted by Dongyang turning his head again, "You shut up for me!
After scolding his sister, Xi Dongyang turned his face back, and when he faced Xu Tongdao again, the anger on his face immediately disappeared, and he squeezed out a smile again, lowered his voice and said to Xu Tongdao: "Xiao Xu, my body is really well, I don't have the capital to set up a stall anymore, you, are there still people in your store? Can you, can you let me come to you to do things? Anything." ”
"Brother......
Xi Xiaoqian still wanted to persuade again, but she didn't dare to speak out again.
Xi Dongyang turned his head to stare at her again, and when he saw that she had shut up, he squeezed out a smile again and looked at Xu Tongdao, waiting for Xu Tongdao's reply.
Xu Tongdao no longer had a false smile on his face at this time.
He squinted at the siblings, as if he saw the argument between himself and his younger brother Xu Tonglu a few months ago.
