Chapter 772: Too Much Energy Spent
Gu Xiaoxi nodded slightly, "Why don't we invite Dean Chen and Teacher Tang and the others. I'll talk to Comrade Yu tomorrow to see if there are any leaders coming, and then we can go together."
"I'll call my dad tomorrow to see if he has time to come over." Lu Jiansen felt that his father would like to come over whenever he had time.
"Sister, should I call my parents and ask them to come over? Mom is planning to come to Qingbei next month. But it seems there's nothing wrong with coming earlier." Gu Dachuan also wanted his parents and grandfather to come over.
If he had known that the business would open earlier, he would have arranged this earlier.
Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Dad, Mom and Grandpa don't have to come right before the business opens. It's okay if they come a little later. My eldest sister-in-law is due to give birth in two months. Mom can come next month. Then we can ask Aunt to come along."
"Okay. Have you found a salesperson here?" Gu Dachuan suddenly asked.
Now he only saw that the department store was fully decorated, but apart from the three chefs and six waiters hired by Master Qi in the hotel, he had never heard of any other sales staff!
Gu Xiaoxi heard what his brother said, turned to Lu Jiansen and said, "I plan to find a few military wives to be in charge of the settlement of the department store. First, it can help the unemployed military wives solve their work problems, and second, the military wives will have a greater sense of honor. Tomorrow, can you help me talk to Division Commander Tang and the Political Commissar and tell them to temporarily provide twelve jobs. What do you think?"
Lu Jiansen nodded immediately. "Okay. No need to wait until tomorrow. I'll go talk to the political commissar in a minute."
It would be a good thing for the army if it could provide jobs for military wives.
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it, solicited everyone's suggestions, and set wage standards.
After dinner, Gu Xiaoxi turned on all the street lights in the department store and the lights inside the mall to make it easier for his sister-in-law to take pictures.
Lu Jiansen went back to his subordinate hospital overnight to find a political commissar.
Gu Xiaoxi also sent a message to Wei Shang, asking for two days off for the children and asking him to take the children back to Blue Star.
There was no way, because before her eldest brother and sister-in-law came, she did not take the child over. She just said that she had asked her friend to take the child out to play and would be back later.
…
Troops Family Home.
When Political Commissar Luo heard what Lu Jiansen said, he immediately became excited.
"Are there twelve places? That's great. You don't know, many families are waiting in the family home, and I don't know how many people have come to me to ask. The business is about to open, and I was thinking of asking you."
"Yes. My wife said that the requirements for salesmen are enthusiasm, kindness, and the ability to express themselves. The job is easy... Please help me choose the candidates. Would you like to go with me to see Teacher Tang? My wife said that she wants to invite Teacher Tang to attend the opening ceremony."
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you now." Political Commissar Luo didn't care that it was late at night, he called Lu Jiansen and left.
Of course, Commander Tang fully agrees with Gu Xiaoxi's plan to recruit military wives for work!
Of course he would go to the opening ceremony.
You know, he had been looking forward to the opening of the department store.
Not only he is looking forward to it, but countless people in Qingbei and even the whole country are looking forward to it!
Seeing that Master Tang agreed, Lu Jiansen stayed for a while and then went back.
In the courtyard, Li Qiao took a bunch of photos and then waited for Xiao Jiaoyang and Xiao Xingchen to come home.
She hadn't seen them for a long time and missed the two little guys especially.
Fortunately, Wei Shang didn't make them wait too long and came back with the two little babies in fifteen minutes.
Lu Jiaoyang played with her uncle and aunt for a while, and then sat next to her mother.
"Mom, let's install a telephone at home! Let's install a telephone here in the department store, too, so that we can call home when we go out."
Gu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay. I'll apply tomorrow."
She hadn't considered installing a telephone before because her cosmic garbage station was equipped with a cosmic network and they all had optical computers.
But for most people, having a telephone is indeed much more convenient.
But she didn't want the sky above the department store to be filled with messy wires.
So, she plans to install a few telephone booths in the department store tomorrow.
"Mom, can I arrange the sales staff for my shop myself?" Lu Xingchen suddenly came over and whispered to his mother.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Okay, you guys can handle it yourself."
When Lu Xingchen heard this, he was delighted. He didn't even want to sleep, but ran out of the courtyard and went back to his shop.
Gu Dachuan just went to pour a glass of water, turned around and saw Xiao Xingchen running out, and hurriedly asked his sister.
"Why did Xiao Xingchen run out so late at night? I'll go check it out."
Gu Xiaoxi coughed lightly, "Don't worry about him, he will be back soon. You accompany your sister-in-law to bed early. She is in a heavy condition now and cannot stay up late. Before going to bed, massage her feet to prevent cramps. There are just enough rooms in the courtyard, so you can stay here for the next few days! It will save you the trouble of going back and forth."
"Okay." Gu Dachuan nodded and didn't bother to be polite with his sister.
After Lu Jiaoyang waited for her uncle and aunt to go to bed, she said something to her mother and ran out to set up her shop.
She knew that her mother had already put a service robot into operation, and she also planned to use a carefully designed dedicated service robot as a salesperson to manage her store.
Gu Xiaoxi has recently gotten into the habit of going to bed late. After seeing the children run out, she sat on the swing chair in the yard, looking at the stars and daydreaming.
Lu Jiansen was talking to Wei Shang in the backyard.
After Wei Shang left, Lu Jiansen walked over to his little girl and sat down on the swing next to her.
"What are you thinking about?" He rubbed her head gently.
"I wanted to open this supermarket very much in the beginning, but now that the supermarket has been built, renovated and furnished, I suddenly feel a little confused."
When Gu Xiaoxi said this, he actually felt a little sad.
She herself couldn't describe this sudden sadness, and didn't understand why she felt this way.
"You've been too busy lately, and you've spent too much energy. You need to take a good rest for a while. Once the department store is back on track, how about we go on an interstellar tour?"
Lu Jiansen stretched out his big hand, picked up the little girl on the swing, and held her in his arms, sitting on his lap.
Gu Xiaoxi leaned her head against him and was quiet for a while before she spoke, "Then let's go on an interstellar trip. I still have a lot of free travel coupons that I haven't used yet!"
The universe is vast, and there are many things she has not seen. Maybe she really could go and see more and walk around more.
The two talked under the starlight, thinking about the future, until late at night when they took the two kids who had stayed up late back to their room to rest.
