After breakfast, Feng Jiandong said, "Since Ruoruo doesn't have to go to kindergarten today, let's take Ruoruo to the labor market and find two reliable people for the restaurant to help with the daily cleaning of the restaurant."
Lu Cuiling nodded in agreement, then hugged her granddaughter and asked, "My dear Ruoruo, do you want to go with grandpa and grandma to recruit employees?"
Feng Ruoruo looked at her grandparents, then at her parents, and the little girl suddenly began to feel a little conflicted.
The little girl really wanted to go out with her grandparents, but she also wanted to stay in the restaurant and be with her father in the kitchen so she could watch him cook.
Both of these things were very attractive to the little girl, so Feng Ruoruo had trouble making a decision for a moment, and her little face was full of confusion.
At this time, Lin Ruifeng, who had not yet left, suddenly asked: "Master, is your restaurant hiring? I can come and help. I, I can do it for free, as long as I can help you, Master."
Feng Yifan looked at Lin Ruifeng and asked, "You want to be a waiter in a restaurant? It's very hard work. Not only do you have to serve food, but you also have to clean and wash the dishes."
Lin Ruifeng nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "I can do this, Master. I have to do all these at home as well. I can come and help."
But then, Lin Ruifeng said, "Master, I, I may only be able to come in the afternoon, because I have to help at home in the morning and wash dishes in my breakfast shop."
Feng Yifan looked at Lin Ruifeng, thought about it but didn't agree directly: "I think it's best to tell Uncle Lin about this matter. If Uncle Lin agrees, I can hire you. As for the salary..."
When Feng Yifan mentioned salary, Lin Ruifeng quickly said, "Master, I don't want salary."
Su Ruoxi also said after hearing this: "It's not okay if you don't get paid. If we don't pay you, we won't be able to explain to Uncle Lin."
Feng Yifan also smiled and said, "Yes, we still have to pay wages. How much do you think is appropriate, Mom and Dad?"
Feng Jiandong calculated for a moment and said, "Give it 3,000, which should be considered average."
Lu Cuiling also nodded: "Yes, 3,000 a month is appropriate."
Feng Yifan lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, the old street will soon be rebuilt, and the restaurant may have to be temporarily closed at that time. We'll pay you on a daily basis. I'll pay you once a week, and if it's less than a week, I'll pay you for the days you worked."
After a pause, Feng Yifan smiled and said to Lin Ruifeng, "Let's just charge 200 per day."
When Lin Ruifeng heard 200 a day, he was a little surprised, and then quickly waved his hand: "No, no, 200 a day is too much."
Feng Yifan continued with a smile, "Don't worry, listen to me. I'll give you 200 a day, and we won't hire anyone else. I think with your help, it should be enough to support the restaurant's operation in the future."
Finally, he added: "Of course, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin must agree."
After listening to her son, Lu Cuiling said, "You only want to hire Xiaolin? That would be too hard for him, right? How about your dad and I go to the labor market and find two more people for you?"
Feng Yifan waved his hands and said to his mother seriously: "Mom, it's enough. The old street is facing reconstruction. It may take more than a month to recruit people now. Besides, the restaurant business is not very good now. I can handle it by myself.
Ruifeng is half my apprentice, so I won't let him work for nothing. I will take the time to teach him more as compensation."
After hearing this, Lin Ruifeng was worried that he would not be allowed to work in the restaurant, so he quickly said, "Aunt, I can do it. I will definitely cooperate with Master."
Su Jinrong, who had been silent the whole time, finally made the decision: "Okay, Xiao Lin is fine. We need to ask Lao Lin and the others."
Feng Yifan nodded to his father-in-law and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll take Ruifeng over now and ask Uncle Lin and Auntie next door what they think. If Uncle Lin agrees, then let Ruifeng come over and do it."
Lin Ruifeng was also full of anticipation. He picked up the iron kettle that he had brought with soy milk in the morning and followed Feng Yifan to the breakfast shop next door to inquire.
Seeing her son go out, Lu Cuiling was still a little worried: "With Xiaolin as the only one left, can he really handle the work?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and comforted him: "Mom, it's okay, don't I still have you? And you can see that the restaurant is not that busy right now, Yifan and I can handle it."
At this time, little Feng Ruoruo hugged her grandmother from the front and said, "Grandma, grandma, there is Ruoruo, Ruoruo also helped."
Seeing her little granddaughter jumping in front of her, Lu Cuiling immediately laughed: "Okay, okay, there's also little darling Ruoruo, so why don't you just stay and help Ruoruo."
Feng Ruoruo asked curiously, "Grandma, don't you have to go back with Grandpa?"
Feng Jiandong smiled helplessly: "I have to go back, but I can stay a few more days this time."
Lu Cuiling said directly: "I'm not going back. I want to stay and help little baby Ruoruo with the work. You can drive back by yourself. Anyway, you just need to look after them at the farm."
Hearing his wife say this, Feng Jiandong was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. His wife was just as willful as a little girl.
Su Ruoxi stepped forward to persuade her: "Mom, the restaurant's business is not very good right now, we can handle it. Besides, if Uncle Lin agrees to let Lin Ruifeng come, we will all be much more relaxed."
Lu Cuiling looked at her daughter-in-law, then looked down at her granddaughter and said, "But Mom wants to stay and take care of my little baby Ruoruo."
At this moment, the old lady was no longer the cowboy she used to be, nor did she have that weird look. She was more like a willful little girl, squirming and begging, wanting to stay.
As the head of the family, Feng Jiandong could only say, "Okay, if you want to stay a few more days, then stay a few more days. I will go back next Monday."
Lu Cuiling smiled happily after hearing this: "Okay, you go back first. By the way, remember to keep an eye on those rascals. Don't be lazy. The quality of the vegetables must be guaranteed, otherwise I will not forgive them when I go back."
Feng Jiandong nodded and agreed: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on them when I get back."
Lu Cuiling then lowered her head and said to her granddaughter, "My dear Ruoruo, grandma can stay for a few more days. Are you happy?"
Feng Ruoruo opened her arms and hugged her grandmother: "I'm happy. Grandma is welcome to stay. This way, grandma can send Ruoruo to kindergarten every day, and can also pick her up."
Lu Cuiling agreed with a smile: "Okay, from now on, grandma will pick up and drop off Ruoruo."
On the other hand, Feng Yifan took Lin Ruifeng back to inquire, and there was not much resistance. For the two old people of the Lin family who ran the breakfast shop, it was really a progress for their youngest son to be able to study at Su Ji.
Old Lin also solemnly instructed his son: "Since Yifan is willing to accept you as his apprentice, you must work hard and learn well when you go there. Remember to be more alert and take the initiative to do any work, and don't let your master ask for help."
After giving the instructions, Old Lin also very seriously requested that his son must serve tea to Feng Yifan and pay homage to him as his teacher at home.
"This must be done formally. You must respect your master in the future. If you dare to do anything to betray your master and ancestors, your mother and I will no longer recognize you as our son."
Feng Yifan originally thought that this kind of offering of tea to the master was unnecessary, but under the insistence of the two elders, he had no choice but to sit down and accept it.
Lin Ruifeng was also very respectful. He knelt down and served tea to Feng Yifan, completing a very formal and traditional ceremony of becoming a disciple.
