Lin Xiuzhen, who was in the late stages of cancer, died and transmigrated to the 1970s, into the body of a biased widow who had lost her husband and had five children.
The original host died ...
Chapter 158 Recruitment Issues
Old Mrs. Lin was already massaging her waist. After all, she was old. Although Lin Xiuzhen asked her and Old Man Lin to just sit aside and watch, the old couple couldn't sit still when they saw how busy the store was. They even went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes.
After all, washing dishes is not difficult for them even if they can't do anything else.
Seeing that Lin Xiuzhen's business was so good, the sisters-in-law of the Lin family also became more interested.
After all, they have children at home, and if the business here is in great need of people, they would like to think about whether they can let their children come here to work.
Plus, since they’re family, you don’t have to worry about being bullied when working here.
The second son's wife, Li Honghua, nudged her daughter and asked her to go to the kitchen to help Lin Chuxia and others with the work.
"Don't you see your cousin and the others are busy? Have a good eye and go help quickly."
She actually didn't have any bad intentions. She just wanted her daughter to be more diligent. Then maybe her sister-in-law would let the child stay to help out of consideration for her family.
Just give me a little salary a month.
As for the small business at home, in their opinion, it belongs to their son, so naturally they don't want their daughter to get involved too much.
When Lin Xueyan was reminded by her mother, she immediately stood up to help.
She actually knew what her mother meant.
It's just that I don't want her to stay at home anymore and want her to go out and work.
This way, I don’t have to compete with my brothers for the family business.
When Lin Xiuzhen saw that her sister-in-law was actually ordering her daughter around, she immediately pulled her back.
"No, no, you're exhausted. Sit down and take a rest. We can do it later."
After all, she had just finished her work, and Lin Xiuzhen felt embarrassed to ask the little girl to continue helping with the work.
She did want to recruit a few people. It didn't matter who she recruited, and she would feel more at ease using the words of her own family.
But seeing that the little girl didn't seem very happy, Lin Xiuzhen hated forcing people the most.
Lin Chuxia went to the other side and made the remaining mung bean soup and milk tea for everyone to taste.
Everyone came here early in the morning and might not have had lunch yet, so Lin Xiuzhen rested for a while and then went to the kitchen to cook.
There weren't many ingredients left, so I had to stir-fry all the vegetables.
Fortunately, I cooked the rice again later, so there is still a big pot of rice in the pot, which is enough for so many people.
"Oh~ Why is this milk tea so delicious?" Old man Lin likes to eat sweets, but his family conditions have not been good for so many years, and sugar is a precious thing, so he rarely eats it.
I didn't expect that milk tea would taste so good.
"Yes, auntie, the milk tea is delicious." Several younger children have their bellies full after drinking it. Almost no child can resist this kind of thing.
"If you like the taste, come to my aunt's place often." Lin Xiuzhen said happily.
Gu Jiabao was sitting next to them, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
He suddenly felt like he didn't fit in with this family.
I only found out later that my family bought such a big shop. When I came back, the shop had already been renovated.
And it seems that his sisters have a good relationship with his mother.
This made him seem even more out of place.
"Sister, when did mother finish renovating this house? I haven't heard you tell me about it before."
"Aren't you in school? I wanted you to study hard, so I left a note for you at home so you wouldn't miss it."
Gu Chunlan didn't think much about it.
After all, Gu Jiabao still has to focus on his studies now.
"Oh, I thought you didn't tell me on purpose."
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Chunlan felt a little strange.
I don't know why this guy would think this way.
But she was a little busy at the moment. Xuanxuan was making a fuss about going to bed, so she had to go and coax the child to sleep.
Gu Jiabao could only sit aside feeling aggrieved and listen to the adults chatting.
At this time, he didn't think that everything in the house was his idea. He just felt that he seemed to be out of place in this family. His family members didn't tell him any of their movements or plans.
"Let's sit down and eat first. We've been busy all morning."
Lin Xiuzhen asked everyone to sit down and eat.
The others were not polite either. The wave of customers at noon really made them exhausted.
They still knew about Lin Xiuzhen's craftsmanship.
No one spoke after sitting down to eat.
Lin Xiuzhen didn't want to talk at this moment. She felt that she didn't even have the strength to speak.
After a short break after dinner, everyone cleaned up the dishes and things on the table.
Lin Xiuzhen originally laid ceramic tiles in the store. Although they were a bit expensive, they were also convenient to clean.
Soon everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other, and finally finished the task.
When the Lin family was leaving, Lin Xiuzhen stuffed 50 yuan into the pocket of Old Mrs. Lin.
"Mom, take this back and share it with them. After all, everyone is very busy at home, so you should show some appreciation by asking them to come here today."
Old Mrs. Lin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was persuaded by Lin Xiuzhen.
"Now that we have separated, we can't let Brother Young Master work in vain."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll take it first."
Lin Xiuzhen then started talking about recruiting people.
"Go back and discuss and see which girl is willing to come."
Lin Xiuzhen also knew about the situation of the Lin family.
Although there is no apparent preference for boys over girls, when it comes to the distribution of benefits, people will subconsciously favor their own sons.
Even her eldest brother would subconsciously think that things should be given to sons, and daughters are meant to be married off.
Lin Xiuzhen couldn't make any judgment on this point.
After all, it cannot be said that their family abuses their daughter. They do send their children to school, but they subconsciously favor their son when it comes to distributing benefits.
This is also understandable.
After all, she is just an outsider and cannot judge anything on this matter.
Compared with other families that favor boys over girls, the Lin family is already very good.
That's why Lin Xiuzhen asked them to go back and think about it, and then decide which children to let come.
Afterwards, Lin Xiuzhen sent the Lin family away, but when leaving, Li Honghua still wanted to keep her daughter behind.
"Don't be in a hurry about this matter, second sister-in-law. You can go back and discuss it first and see what the child thinks."
"What can this child think? Anyway, she doesn't have any other job now, and she doesn't have to go to school. Let her stay here to work and just give her a salary every month."
Li Honghua really feels that her requirements are not high.
