Chu Tian was originally looking down in thought, but when he heard his words, he raised his head and looked at him, "What did you say?"

The young man showed his white teeth and repeated with a smile, "Brother, my brother and I learned some martial arts from our neighbor uncle when we were young. I can't guarantee that we can do a lot, but with bare hands, I can definitely fight three people at once."

Chu Tian looked at the faint outline of muscles under his thin clothes and asked with narrowed eyes, "Is your brother the one at the train station that day?"

The young man nodded. "Yes, our neighbor's uncle went to the battlefield a few years ago. Later, because he was injured and had no relatives in his hometown, he applied to come to Xinjiang. The children in our area have all learned martial arts from him since they were young, but my brother and I have been learning for a longer time."

Chu Tian laughed when he heard this, and asked cunningly, "But, didn't you say before that you don't fight?"

The young man answered honestly, "If others do not offend me, I will not offend others. If others offend me, I will definitely offend them. If they do not rob my house, I will definitely not do it. But if they dare to rob me, then I will definitely not let them go. Of course, I will not kill them..."

Chu Tian was delighted. He stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said, "Good boy, I remember you said before that you and your brother are both over 20 years old?"

The young man nodded, "Yes, we are both twenty years old."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xu Cheng!"

"Well, if you can, you can come to work today, I..."

"I can! I can go to work right now!"

Chu Tian laughed. "I haven't even finished my words yet, why are you so anxious? We haven't even discussed the salary yet, and you've already agreed?"

Xu Cheng scratched his head embarrassedly, "I, I'm too excited!"

Chu Tian just smiled and said, "I've met your brother too. Go back and ask him if he's willing to do it. If he is, why not come to work tonight?"

"You can sleep in our store at night. One of you can sleep in this store, and the other can sleep in the clothing store next door. During the day, you can take turns resting in the lounge in the yard. Since you two are not fixed to work in a specific store, if any of the three stores is busy, you will need to help out in all three stores."

After a pause, seeing Xu Cheng nod in agreement, Chu Tian continued, "Because you are required to stay overnight at the hotel, we will provide three meals a day. You can eat whatever we eat. The salary of our store employees starts at 30 yuan. Those who do a good job will generally receive a salary increase starting from the second month. The specific amount of the increase depends on individual ability."

"By the way, I have three days off every month. If you want to take a break, let me know in advance..."

"This is the treatment, do you have any opinions?"

Xu Cheng hurriedly shook his head, "No opinion."

In his heart, he was thinking, what could he say against such good conditions? When he and his brother were temporary workers, they did the hardest and most tiring work every day, and their salary was only 18 yuan per month, and they didn't even provide food...

Chu Tian nodded, "That's it, go back and ask your brother."

After a moment's thought, he quickly added, "By the way, when you come, please bring your household registration so I can register. Also, you have to bring your own bedding, toothbrush, toothbrush holder, and other daily necessities."

Xu Cheng responded loudly, "Hey, I remember it."

After seeing Xu Cheng off, Chu Tian turned around and saw Lin Yuan with a troubled expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Yuan mustered up his courage and said, "Uncle Chu, I also want to run the store!"

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "Why are you still thinking about guarding the store? You've already hired two people..."

Before Chu Tian could finish, Lin Yuan answered, "But, there are only two of them guarding the three stores. Isn't that missing one person?"

“····”

Chu Tian looked at Lin Yuan's stubborn expression and waved his hand helplessly, "Alright, if you want to stay, then stay."

Just as he was about to show his joy, Chu Tian asked him again, "But if you stay, what will happen to your father? Who will take care of him at home?"

After a long time, Chu Tiancai finally understood that Lin Yuan's father was originally an employee of a machinery factory. However, years ago, due to improper operation of equipment, not only did the factory lose a large amount of money, but his leg was also broken. However, because his leg was already broken, out of humanitarianism, the factory did not hold him responsible, but simply fired him...

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "My father can now walk on his own with the help of a cane, and the family has the food and vegetables I brought back. It's okay for him to stay at home for a few days. Besides, when no one is around at noon, I can go back to check on him..."

Chu Tian rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, "You should go back and ask your father tonight. If your father agrees, you can stay at the inn tomorrow night."

In his heart, he was thinking, I hope his father won't agree. Hiring child labor already made him feel uneasy, and if he let the child laborer work during the day and guard the store at night, he would be even more uneasy...

At lunch, Chu Tian looked at Wang Yanfang who was picking up food for Lele. After a moment's thought, he smiled and asked, "Yanfang, are you tired in the store? If you are, tell your aunt..."

Wang Yanfang quickly put down her chopsticks and said nervously, "Uncle, I, I'm not tired..."

“····”

Chu Tian looked at her nervous expression and didn't know what to say for a while. He thought he had a good temper and didn't look fierce. He really didn't know why Wang Yanfang was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him?

Just because you broke off an engagement, are you afraid of men?

Seeing this, Yao Xiujuan stood up, smiled and poured a bowl of soup for Wang Yanfang, and handed it to her, "Yanfang, drink the soup. This is the old hen soup that your great-grandmother stewed all morning. It's very nourishing."

Wang Yanfang quickly took it and said, "Thank you, aunt."

Lele, who was sitting on the side, blinked her big eyes, picked up a piece of chicken leg from her bowl and put it in Wang Yanfang's bowl, and called out sweetly, "Sister Yanfang, this is Lele's favorite chicken leg. Lele likes Sister Yanfang, so give it to Sister Yanfang."

Wang Yanfang smiled when she heard this, "Thank you, Lele..."

Lele smiled sweetly, her eyes full of anticipation, "Then can Sister Yanfang pick Lele up from school this afternoon?"

"good."

Wang Yanfang was a little hesitant to go out, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly.

Lele cheered, "Oh, my classmate Xiaohong always praises her cousin's sister for being pretty in front of the class, but I've seen her a few times and she's not pretty at all. She has a lot of pockmarks on her face and isn't even half as pretty as Sister Yanfang!"

"Hmph, Sister Yanfang will pick me up this afternoon. Let her see what beauty really is!"

“·····”

Chu Tian, ​​Yao Xiujuan, and Old Mrs. Chu all looked at Lele speechlessly.
