lucky star girl

Chapter 42
Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu also had smiles on their faces when they saw Dong Lei coming out on crutches.

Dong Shu first took a look at his cousin's complexion and saw that his face was rosy, then reached out to Cuihua, took two packs of snacks, and sent them to his cousin: "I didn't bring any valuables. Two packs of snacks that I think taste good, bring them to my cousin."

Because Dong Shu directly explained that the dim sum was for his cousin, Dong Zhen, who was supporting his elder brother, was also embarrassed to reach out to the dim sum.

When a few people walked to the main room of Dong's house and sat down, Dong Shu wanted to watch her cousin speak, but Xu Shiqiu gently pulled her sleeves.

Noticing Xianggong's movements, Dong Shu remembered that Dong Zhen was still here.

Although Dong Zhen is not very old, he is still at the age of learning how to speak. The less people know about what he is going to say today, the better.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu naturally gave up her plan to speak immediately, and instead began to look at her cousin's legs to see how he was recovering.

The actions of Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu are not considered secretive. After Dong Lei saw that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu might have come to find him for something today, he immediately handed one of the two packs of dim sum to Dong Zhen and said, "Go back to your room to eat, just eat." You can eat a piece, and leave the rest for your parents and your sister to eat when they come back."

Perhaps it was because Dong Lei used to take money from home every month, so it was still very useful for Dong Lei to speak at Dong's house, even though he had been at home for two months now.

So after Dong Zhen heard his words, he didn't dare to refute, so he could only respond obediently.

When Dong Zhen happily left with a pack of snacks, Cuihua also consciously walked outside the main room and stood up, only then did Xu Shiqiu look at Dong Lei and speak.

"I came to look for my cousin today, and I also want to ask you something." Xu Shiqiu didn't change his attitude towards Dong Lei because of his soaring net worth.

Just because the little lady said that Dong Lei's cousin was the best person in the Dong family to her, Xu Shiqiu was willing to regard this younger man as a relative.

Xu Shiqiu's attitude also made Dong Lei a little nervous, he didn't know what Xu Shiqiu had to ask himself.

But after all, he worked as a waiter in a restaurant outside, and he met many people of all kinds in the past two years.

So even though he was nervous, he didn't reveal anything, but nodded and said: "Third Young Master, please, I will tell you what I know."

After hearing Dong Lei's words, Xu Shiqiu said without any further delay, "I have several shops in my hand now, and the nearest one is a two-story restaurant in the county.

The restaurant was originally leased to someone else, but I recently thought about taking it back and putting it under the name of my wife, and then opening a teahouse, which can be regarded as my wife's dowry.

It's just that I don't know much about this business. I have a few good script books in my hand and know how to make cheap and good tea, but I don't understand the business.

Thinking that my cousin had worked in a restaurant before, I wanted to ask my cousin if he would like to go to the county to help his wife look after the shop.

Of course, I also heard from my wife that my cousin doesn’t know many characters. If my cousin is willing, he can go to Xu’s every day to learn literacy and How to settle accounts.

Cousin is willing to do this? "

Neither Dong Shu nor Dong Lei thought that Xu Shiqiu would say such words directly.

Especially Dong Shu, when Xu Shiqiu was still at home, he only said that he wanted to ask his cousin, but he didn't mean that he wanted him to be in charge.

As for Dong Lei, he used to work in a small restaurant in the town. Because of his quick thinking, he stole some words from the accountant, but he was definitely not a manager.

But he didn't expect that when Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, he asked himself to take care of things.

Although he also said to let himself go to Xu's house to learn literacy and accounting first, Dong Lei still subconsciously felt that it was his brother-in-law who wanted to help him for the sake of his cousin.

Thinking of this, Dong Lei immediately looked up at Xu Shiqiu and shook his head: "I appreciate the kindness of the third son, but I know my own ability. If you need a buddy, I will definitely go without saying a word. It's just that I am in charge Can't do it."

Dong Lei told the truth, he didn't feel that because he was the cousin of his cousin, as long as he opened his mouth, the position of steward must belong to him.

He understands his ability, and he has always understood that in one sentence, he can do as much as he has ability.

Even if the shop was given to his cousin by the third son, he would not be able to take over the incompetent manager.

Seeing Dong Lei's refusal without hesitation, Xu Shiqiu felt more and more that he had read the right person.

He also understood that Dong Lei's current abilities might not be enough, but since he wanted to thank him, he naturally thought of this problem in advance.

"Cousin doesn't need to refuse so decisively, your leg is not healed yet, and the contract at the restaurant will expire in more than two months.

When the contract expires, the shop will have to hire workers to decorate it again, and it will take at least three months to reopen.

In these three months, my cousin's legs will definitely recover, and you can also take advantage of this time to study hard.

If your cousin is worried, when your legs recover, I will send you to other shops of the Xu family to learn from those stewards. "

When Xu Shiqiu said this, Dong Lei was already moved, but maybe he still had other scruples, so he didn't speak.

Seeing that Dong Lei was moved but he hadn't spoken yet, Xu Shiqiu finally had to sigh: "Cousin doesn't know, our Xu family separated a few days ago. Because of my previous incident, there are not many caring and useful people around me." .

On my lady's side, only you can help us in this matter.If you can take over this management job, after a few years, you can also help the lady manage other shops.

I plan to put all the shops obtained from the division into my wife's name, and keep the children born to my wife in the future.

If you are not willing to help, my wife and I, there is really no one to help. "

Dong Shu didn't expect Xianggong to say such words to his cousin in such a tone.

She looked at Xianggong with wide crescent eyes in surprise, but she saw that he would wink at her quietly.

After receiving her husband's hint, Dong Shu suppressed the question she was about to ask.

Just now when Xu Shiqiu said that she had no one to help, Dong Shu wanted to speak up. After all, she remembered that some time ago, Xianggong wrote a letter and asked for help.

Dong Shu knew this, but Dong Lei didn't.

Dong Lei was thinking about what Xu Shiqiu said, and understood what Xu Shiqiu meant.

Because Xu Shiqiu had been staying at home before, and because of his unlucky physique, there were no caring helpers around him.

And from what Xu Shiqiu said just now, Dong Lei could also feel what he meant.

Because the cousin's natal family is not visible, there is no way to give her a good dowry. If he misses this opportunity, he may really have no chance to help his cousin.

Thinking of the family status of the Xu family, and hearing about the attitude of the first and second householders of the Xu family coming back a few days ago, Dong Lei was also worried that his cousin's temper and the family status of the Dong family would make the cousin suffer in the Xu family. .

Seeing Dong Lei frowning in thought, Xu Shiqiu immediately turned to Dong Shu and winked at her.

After Dong Shu received Xu Shiqiu's hint, she immediately looked at her cousin and said, "Brother Lei, my husband treats me well and considers me everywhere.

But you also know my temperament, I'm afraid I can't take care of the store.

If you don't help me, then Xianggong's thoughts will be in vain. "

Dong Shu followed what Xu Shiqiu taught her in advance, just after she finished speaking, Dong Lei, who was still immersed in her own thoughts just now, immediately came back to her senses, looked at her and nodded and assured her: "Shu'er, don't worry, my cousin is here , my cousin will definitely keep an eye on these shops for you."

Hearing Dong Lei's assurance, Dong Shu immediately turned to look at Xu Shiqiu, her beautiful crescent eyes were full of pride and joy.

Xu Shiqiu looked at the smug little lady, suppressed a smile, nodded to her, then looked at Dong Lei and said, "Since my cousin has agreed to this matter, why don't you go to Xu's house tomorrow to learn literacy and accounting with me?
It just so happens that I want to teach the lady how to read and recognize the account book. Together, after you learn this, my cousin's legs should be fine.

At that time, I will ask another old steward to take my cousin to learn how to manage affairs. "

Before Xu Shiqiu came here, he had already thought about how to arrange the following things, so after meeting with Dong Lei and agreeing, he immediately stated his arrangement.

When Dong Lei arrived at this meeting, he also understood that since he promised, there is no possibility of going back on his word.

But after thinking about it, he felt that he should give himself a chance. If he could really become the manager of the teahouse, in the future, slowly, he could also become the manager of the teahouse.

As long as he works hard and learns more, he will definitely be able to change the current situation where the family sells his sister for 20 taels of silver.

Dong Lei did not say this thought in his heart.

But Xu Shiqiu was scheming against him, so he said these things to him today.

The business of coming here today has been done. Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were just about to get up and go back when Dong Lei asked to stay.

"Let's stay at home for dinner today? I'll ask Dong Zhen to call Dong Miao to come back and cook." Dong Lei's mobility was limited, and he was about to get up and call Dong Zhen who was hiding in the room out while he was speaking.

Upon hearing his words, Dong Shu immediately shook her head and said, "No need, cousin, we are here to talk to you about this today. Tomorrow you will go to Xu's house to learn how to read and settle accounts with Mr. Xianggong. You should rest early tonight Good." After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and said, "Do you want me to send someone to pick you up tomorrow?"

Dong Shu saw that Dong Lei had just finished speaking, and Dong Lei smiled at her and shook his head, "Don't worry, Shu'er. Although my cousin has a broken leg, he has a cane. I'll walk slowly after breakfast tomorrow."

After all, Dong Lei is also a person who has seen the world. He understands his identity, so he would agree to Dong Shu's request to have someone pick him up.

What's more, this matter of management is said to be helping the cousin, but after all, it is the brother-in-law who gave him a chance.

With this job, he will be able to earn money quickly to fill the hole in his family.

After seeing her cousin's thoughts, Dong Shu didn't insist.

But she thought about it, and in the end...
