The Lu family was bitter about Lu Lin's fate, and the Chen family was even more so.
"Old man, have you found a job yet?" The old lady hurriedly asked when Chen Lao San came back.
Chen Shouren shook his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Not yet."
Mrs. Li is very envious of Lu An, the fourth son of the Lu family, who has a job in the town. If you are farming, you depend on the weather for your food. If you encounter drought or drought, it will really kill you. If you have a job in the town It's different, drought and flood guarantee harvest.
Lu An's job was obtained because the boss in the town owed a favor to the old man of the Lu family. Although Mrs. Li envied her, she had no choice but to do anything about it. However, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi were different.
Mrs. Li always thought that Chen Xiaomi was a ungrateful bastard and freak who should be burned to death. As a result, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi both found jobs in the town, and the wages were not low.
A few days ago, Chen Shouren asked the old lady for a few taels of silver, saying that he was going to do some dredging so that he could find a job in the town.
Although the old lady was reluctant to part with the money, she thought that if the third child really found a job, the family would have a fixed income in the future, so she took the money and let Chen Shouren go. However, it had been several days and Chen Shouren hadn't found a job. A suitable job is a waste of money.
"Have you found out where Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi work?"
"It seems to be in Huaxia Commercial Bank." Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi were relatively low-key, but many things still needed to be handled by the two of them. Chen Shouren wandered around the town every day, and still found out something. Huaxia Commercial Bank has become very famous for selling bags recently, and Chen Jing also bought a bag there.
Chen Shouren also went to that firm to try, but the other party said that there was no shortage of people. There is a shopkeeper in the firm, who looks quite indifferent.
Mrs. Li said a little depressed: "What is the vision of the boss of Huaxia Commercial Bank? They are so confused by bosses like Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin. It probably won't last long."
Chen Shouren said sullenly: "Those two guys, I don't know what kind of luck they got."
Chen Shouren originally thought that people like Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin could find work in the town. Maybe finding a job in the town would not be as difficult as imagined. However, Chen Shouli was looking for it with some physical strength. Moreover, the wages are still very low, and it seems that it is not so easy to find a job in the town.
Depressed, Chen Shouren went to the casino and lost more than half of his money, and didn't dare to tell the old lady.
Mrs. Li looked at her son and said angrily, "You are such an adult, you can't even compare with two children."
Chen Shouren didn't feel that there was a problem with his ability at all, and said a little aggrieved: "Mother! Those two guys are just lucky."
Mrs. Li snorted softly, and said, "I know how to make excuses, but I don't know how to think of a way."
Chen Shouren smiled awkwardly, his eyes rolled, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Young Master Lin." After closing the shop in the evening, Wan Li found Lu Lin.
Lu Lin looked at Wan Li's expression and asked, "Did something happen in the store?"
"Young Master Lin, someone came to the store recently to speak ill of you and Young Master Chen."
Lu Lin was a little surprised: "Oh, what did you say?"
People in the village often speak ill of Chen Xiaomi, and Lu Lin knows about it. However, the people in the town basically don't know much about him and Chen Xiaomi. Some surprises.
Wan Li said with some embarrassment: "Those who say that you have bad conduct, eat inside and out, disrespect your parents, spread these rumors, came to the store to find work before, but I pushed you away."
Lu Lin: "..." Huaxia Commercial Bank is his property. He knows this, but other people don't know it. He claimed in the village that he earns two taels of silver a month in the town, which is still eye-catching, so , did the person who spoke ill of him want to squeeze him and Chen Xiaomi out
"Do you know what that person's name is?" Lu Lin asked.
"It seems to be called Chen Shouren."
Lu Lin curled his lips, and thought to himself: Chen Shouren, it turns out that such a guy, the grievances between the Chen family and Xiaomi are quite thick.
Lu Lin glanced at Wan Li, and said, "It's just a clown, don't pay attention to him."
Wan Li nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Shouren wandered around the town for another half a month, but couldn't find a suitable job.
The long journey between the town and the countryside every day made him complain a lot.
There is an inn in the town, but the cost of staying in an inn is not low. Chen Shouren stayed in the town for a few days, spent the rest of the money, and then went back.
Chen Shouren really didn't understand. He had already talked to that point. Why didn't the boss of Huaxia Commercial Bank dismiss Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi? After looking for a job, he just wanted to mess up the jobs of Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin, but he didn't succeed.
Now that Chen Xiaomi is pregnant, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi will go to the countryside less frequently.
After schoolbags, Lu Lin researched some bags of different styles and sold them in the store. The bags of various styles in the store are very popular because of their good workmanship and various styles.
Some noble ladies in the town have nothing to do all day long. When they hear about Huaxia Commercial Bank, they will come to visit it from time to time.
There was a plain old lady who came over once and bought more than a dozen valuable handbags. She is considered a shopaholic in this era.
Wan Li couldn't handle it all by himself, so Lu Lin sent Chen Xiaocai to help him, which could be regarded as training him in advance.
Chen Xiaocai looks good, because of his young age, when many ladies and wives come to buy bags, they will always ask Chen Xiaocai about the advantages and disadvantages of various bags.
In the village, Chen Xiaocai was often disliked by others. He had never seen such a battle before, and he was at a loss for a while.
However, after a long time, Chen Xiaocai got used to it, and was able to deal with guests gracefully.
Lu Lin encouraged Chen Xiaocai to say that a good sale has a great effect on the store, which made Chen Xiaocai blush.
However, Lu Lin is not exaggerating. The level of the salesperson in the cosmetics store plays a very important role in the sales of cosmetics. A good salesperson can even add hundreds of thousands of income to the store in a month, and the commission is soft .
Lu Lin walked into the room and saw Chen Xiaocai talking to Xiaomi.
Seeing him coming in, Chen Xiaocai blushed and left.
Lu Lin put his hands behind his back, looked at Chen Xiaocai's shy appearance, and curled his lips. When Chen Xiaocai walked in two days ago, he happened to bump into him and Xiaomi making out, and he might have seen something with needles in it. These days, whenever he saw him, he would hide.
Lu Lin looked at the rice cake in Chen Xiaomi's hand, blinked, and said, "Where did the rice cake come from?"
"Xiaocai bought it for me." Chen Xiaomi was vaguely proud of his younger brother's filial piety, "Xiaocai seems to be very happy recently."
"Because of this guy, I think I can help you." If you have nothing to do all day long, you will feel empty after a long time. This guy Chen Xiaocai also came from hard times, and he always feels a sense of crisis. Making the guy feel like he can make a lot of money is also an incentive.
Lu Lin asked Wan Li to count for Chen Xiaocai, and if Chen Xiaocai sold a bag worth more than 500 Wen, he would be given a commission of 5 Wen, which was regarded as his pocket money.
Chen Xiaomi was a little embarrassed and said, "Is it okay to let Xiaocai sell bags in the store?"
Lu Lin looked at Xiaocai helplessly, and said, "Xiaocai is not young anymore, and in a few years, it's time to find a wife for him. You can't hide him for a lifetime, not to mention, your reputation is so bad." It's not your responsibility, it's nothing to be ashamed of."
If the Chen family dares to make a fuss about Chen Xiaomi's unfilial behavior in their store, he can go to the college and reveal that the Chen family sells their cousin in order to pay for Chen Jing's tuition. Chen Jing is a scholar, so it should be a shame of. Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaomi and sighed inwardly.
Chen Xiaomi doesn't pay much attention to his own affairs, but he seems to care too much about his younger brother. However, there is no way around this. After all, the three brothers have gone through the most difficult time together. Chen Xiaomi, the eldest brother, to some extent Go up and take on what my father should do.
However, blindly pampering can easily spoil a child, so he is the only one who makes this bad face.
Grandma Shen was sewing her schoolbag in the room, while Shen Chi was tying the webbing on the side.
The netting made by Shen Chi was rich in patterns. In order to encourage Shen Chi, Lu Lin gave many different styles of wooden beads, hair ropes, and pieces of rags to Shen Chi's side.
Shen Chi has recently made pendants for schoolbags. When many people buy bags, they see the beautiful pendants on the bags and beg the store to send one more. Although they are worthless things, many rich wives give one for nothing. The pendant, but it seems to have picked up a big deal.
Grandma Shen is very satisfied with Shen Chi. Although this net is a small thing, it is also a selling point if it is well made. As far as he knows, many people like the net made by his grandson very much.
"Grandson, have you learned arithmetic recently?" Grandma Shen asked.
Shen Chi nodded, and said "En". "Brother Xiaomi mainly teaches side dishes, and I followed suit."
Grandma Shen looked at Shen Chi and said, "It's better to learn more, better to learn more."
In the eyes of the villagers, being able to do arithmetic is a great skill. Grandma Shen still hopes that Shen Chi can learn more. If she is able to do arithmetic, it will be easier for her to find a job in the shop in the future.
Shen Chi nodded, and naturally knew that it was a rare opportunity.
Shen Chi started a bit later than Chen Xiaolai, and he couldn't understand many things. However, Chen Xiaocai sometimes gave Shen Chi supplementary lessons, and Shen Chi was gradually able to catch up.
"In the past few days, Xiaocai went to the shop to help." Shen Chi said.
Grandma Shen nodded, and said, "Xiaocai, you seem to be a promising boy."
Grandma Shen glanced at her grandson, feeling a little strange in her heart, Shen Chi is a little twin, it's hard to say what kind of twin she can find in the future, country people don't like twins very much, good twins who can marry There are not many children, and Grandma Shen naturally does not want her grandson to be wronged.
Before, when we were in the countryside, Grandma Shen and Chen Xiaomi's house were close, and Shen Chi often played with Chen Xiaocai, and Grandma Shen also considered Chen Xiaocai, but now the life of Chen Xiaomi's family is getting better and better, their family... Orphans and widows are really not a good family.
Grandma Shen reckoned that if Chen Xiaomi was going to find a wife for Chen Xiaocai, a bunch of matchmakers would come together, so she didn't dare to expect extravagant expectations. She could only wait a few years until Shen Chi was older.
