"I knew you three would be here today." It has become a habit to come on Sundays.

"Wow, your little baby is helping with the work, that's great." The boss lady of the decoration team poked the triangular paper hat on Qiaoan's head and said with a smile.

"Yes, children must develop their ability to work from an early age." Qiao Lu also smiled.

After a few pleasantries, the boss of the renovation team discussed with Qiao Lu and her husband whether they could take some photos to use as advertising.

After thinking about it, Qiao Lu agreed, but only allowed them to take pictures of the living room and part of the kitchen, not other places.

It didn't take long, we finished the five-minute shoot and then left.

The family of three continued cleaning, cleaning every corner and even the ceiling, which made them exhausted.

Looking at the spotless, clean and spacious new house, Qiao Lu felt extremely happy.

After resting for a while, he quickly pulled Qiao An to the second bedroom opposite the master bedroom.

"Look, An An, this is the room that Mommy prepared for you. It's blue. Do you like it?"

The house is a total of 90 square meters, with two small bedrooms, a large master bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a balcony, which are excellent conditions in this era.

The second bedroom is not large, about 12 or 13 square meters, and is decorated in childlike blue tones. Even the cabinets are painted light blue.

Qiao An pursed her lips, suddenly held Qiao Lu's hand tightly, and asked anxiously: "Mom, is this my own room?"

"Yes." Qiao Lu said with a smile.

Qiao An, who was originally quite happy, suddenly became less excited and said, "Can we move in later?"

Qiao Lu laughed: "You said before that you wanted to move into the new house right away, what's wrong now?"

"I want to sleep in the same room with my mom." After moving into a new home, I will have to sleep alone.

Qiao Lu curled her lips and said, "What are you afraid of? Mommy promised you that you will sleep in the same room with us until you are 6 years old, okay?"

"Really?" Qiao An counted on his fingers.

He is five years old now, and he has one year to go until he is six. There are 365 days in a year...

It seems not bad.

"After I turn six, can I still sleep with you?" The little guy asked again.

Qiao Lu thought for a moment and said, "Well... occasionally, but not for a long time."

"Okay then." I was content. At least if I was in a bad mood occasionally, I could ask to sleep with my mother.

After returning home happily and preparing lunch, Xu Haizhou suddenly said to Qiao Lu: "I want to hire someone to help look after the store recently."

"What's wrong? Both of us are too busy to handle it?" Qiao Lu asked puzzledly.

Xu Haizhou shook his head and said, "Li Hongjun has found a partner and is now dating a female comrade. How can we talk about not giving him a holiday?"

You can't just hang out in the store and talk every day, right? That would be ridiculous.

"Besides, with our current turnover, we can afford to hire not just one, but two. This will give us more time to spend with you."

It turns out that he has his own reasons. This man cares a lot about his family.

Qiao Lu smiled sweetly and thought of Li Hongjun again.

A bachelor who has been single for years has actually found a partner? I don’t know what type of lesbian she is. I think Qiao Lu is quite curious.

Then he smiled and said, "That's right, then you should find someone quickly, and once you find one, let him have a relationship. As for the salesperson...it's best to find someone who is good at talking and has a quick mind...but be careful, don't find someone who is slick and smooth-talking."

Being flexible is fine, but don't be petty. Although Li Hongjun is sometimes not serious, he can still stand up straight when it comes to serious matters.

"Okay, I know."

Not only did he ask Xu Haizhou to look for it, he also asked nearby neighbors to help look for it. It would be best if he has education, but if not, it would see if he has ability.

Everyone rushed to introduce shop assistants to Qiao Lu and her husband. After almost three days of choosing, the couple still didn't like any of the items.

I interviewed about eight or nine people, and not a single one of them was so confident as to shout.

If salespeople care about their reputation, how can they make money?

Sure enough, even in an era when gold is everywhere and opportunities are presented to you, not everyone can get rich.

The next day, the sky was clear and Xiao Gao walked carefully into the compound with a vegetable basket on her arm. When Qiao Lu saw her, she thought she was also there to apply for the job of a shop assistant.

But think about it, she has a job, maybe she is here to pay back her medical bills?

Xiao Zhou's eyes were red, obviously he had cried before coming here, but when he saw Qiao Lu, he smiled.

"How are you doing recently? Is Xiao Gao feeling better?" Qiao Lu brought her a stool and greeted her.

Xiao Zhou thanked him, shook his head and said, "My hand is broken, I lost my job, and my boss doesn't allow me to do it anymore, fearing that something bad might happen..."

Everyone in Ziyuan Street knew that the two of them were being harassed by gangsters, and there were enthusiastic people helping them, but every time someone came forward to help, the gangsters would slip away faster than a leopard.

"Ah? This... is too sudden." I've lost my job. What will I eat and drink?

The conditions were originally difficult.

Qiao Lu was surprised in her heart, and Xiao Zhou said with a worried look on his face: "Sister Qiao Lu, I want to ask, you can make clothes here, right?"

"You want to make clothes?" It turned out that she was not applying for a job as a shop assistant. Qiao Lu smiled and nodded: "Sure, come and register with me, and I will make clothes for you after you bring the materials back."

"Can I do it by hand?" Xiao Zhou pursed his face awkwardly: "Gao Xin and I got married last week, and now we've moved to his house. We don't have a sewing machine at home, so..."

Got the certificate? I said I didn’t dare to get the certificate at the hospital before.

The couple may not have the courage to face outsiders, but their love for each other is firm.

Qiao Lu raised her eyebrows and said in a slower tone: "Handmade? It's not impossible, but you still have to go to work. We at Purple Dragonfly have high quality requirements, and I don't think you can finish it in one day."

"It's okay. I don't have a job now, so I have a lot of time to make clothes. Even if it's handmade, I can make one or two pieces a day." Xiao Zhou pointed to a dress on Qiaolu's sewing machine and said, "That kind of dress, right? I can make it. I'm very skilled. Before I got married, I often made clothes for my brothers and sisters at my parents' house."

Qiao Lu's attention was diverted by the previous sentence, and she asked in surprise: "You don't have a job? Didn't I hear that you work in a bank before?"

Xiao Zhou smiled awkwardly: "I quit. The Qian Qiang incident had a big impact on me and my workplace. I might as well quit. Gao Xin said it didn't matter anyway."

Xiao Zhou lost her job because of some hooligans. They came to her workplace to cause trouble for no reason. Even though they were chased away by security every time, it still had an impact. Who else could ignore the strange looks from colleagues and continue working?

In short, Xiao Zhou couldn't do it. Her psychological endurance was far less strong than it appeared.

Gradually, she began to show signs of depression. Gao Xin didn't want to see her continue to be depressed, so he supported her resignation.

You know, he himself doesn't have a job now. If Xiao Zhou quits, the family will really have no source of income!

I don't know how the couple discussed it, but Xiao Zhou quit his job and came to Qiao Lu.

Although she felt sad in her heart, Qiao Lu couldn't show too much sympathy for her.

Which young person doesn't care about face? Otherwise, he wouldn't have wiped away his tears when he saw her. Don't he just want to be a decent person?

"Okay, then you can make it." Qiao Lu gave her two days' worth of fabrics, "Make one for me first, and then continue if it works."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Sister Qiaolu!"

When Qiao Lu sent Xiao Zhou to the gate of the courtyard, she found that Gao Xin was waiting for her outside.

It was still the same 28-bar bicycle. His left hand was completely useless, hanging limply on both sides of his body, and the steering wheel could only be supported by his right hand.

To be honest, it's very dangerous.

But what can they do? This is the only means of transportation they have and the most valuable thing in their home.

Seeing his wife and Qiao Lu, Xiao Gao smiled brightly and waved: "Sister Qiao Lu."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the young couple said goodbye and went home. Before leaving, Qiao Lu asked Xiao Zhou:

"By the way, have those hooligans come looking for you recently?"

Xiao Zhou shook his head and laughed at himself: "They haven't come to make trouble since they knew I resigned. Maybe they saw that I was having a miserable life and didn't bother to bother me anymore."

The trouble caused by that bastard Qian Qiang made the little girl suffer. Alas, he can't rest in peace even after his death.

"Don't be scared, don't be afraid of them. If they come again, you can learn from my man and use a bicycle or some handy tool to scare them. People like that bully the weak and fear the strong, and they are most afraid of death. The more you give in, the more arrogant he will be. So don't be afraid, beat him up!"

These words were spoken with great fighting spirit, igniting Gao Xin's passion.

"Okay, Sister Qiao Lu, we'll listen to you." Gao Xin's eyes were filled with tears and his voice became hoarse.

With a sigh, Qiao Lu patted Xiao Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Work hard and try to save enough money to buy a sewing machine. Then you can make more money in the future."

Qiao Lu turned around and pointed to the yard behind her: "Do you know Wu Guifang? She is also a full-time housewife without a job. She uses a sewing machine to make clothes for me every day, and she earns at least four yuan a day."

Xiao Zhou and Xiao Gao both covered their mouths in amazement: "So high?!"

Qiao Lu smiled with narrowed eyes: "Yes, so you should work hard. If you do a good job, it will be no worse than working at your job."

"Yeah!" Xiao Zhou instantly became energetic, with hope shining in his eyes: "Thank you, Sister Qiao Lu!"

…

In the golden month of October, the autumn tiger opened its bloody mouth and wreaked havoc on the world. We finally made it to late October, and after a heavy rain, the temperature finally dropped slowly.

The decoration is entering the final stage, and it takes a lot of effort to arrange the furniture.

Qiao Lu also had to prepare for the new autumn collection in November. She had a lot to do and was very busy, so she simply handed the job of clothing quality supervision to Wu Guifang.

In the entire compound, Qiao Lu has the best relationship with her and is the most reliable person.

Wu Guifang accepted the offer of two yuan a day without hesitation.

In other words, she only needed to take some time out from making clothes every day to check the quality of clothes and she could get two dollars for free. How could she refuse such an easy job?

Wu Guifang was happy, and Qiao Lu finally didn't have to do everything herself, which made things a lot easier. It was a win-win situation for both parties.

…

We started placing the large furniture in at the end of October. After everything was done, our family of three took some time to clean the new house. Finally, we moved in a little bit at a time. After the new house was filled up, we will be able to move in after a while!

Today, Li Hongjun brought his girlfriend to visit Nanhu Home. The girl was a timid and shy girl.

She was wearing a simple short jacket with two long braids hanging by her ears, with two small plastic daisies pinned on the braids.

She looks like she's about 18 or 19, with big eyes, thin eyebrows, a small frame, and looks particularly thin. Her looks are OK, 6 out of 10, and with makeup and some dressing up, she should be around 7 or 8.

"Her name is Zou Yinghua." He pointed at Qiao Lu and her husband and said, "Yinghua, you are young, so call her Sister Qiao Lu and call him Brother Xu."

The little girl nodded obediently: "Yes, Brother Xu, Sister Qiao Lu."

Where did you find such a good lesbian? Qiao Lu looked at him teasingly.

"Come, come, sit down." Qiao Lu looked around and quickly invited the two to sit down.

His buttocks fell heavily on the sofa, which was soft and bouncy. Li Hongjun's eyes sparkled, and he repeatedly pressed his palms on the soft cushion under his buttocks: "What kind of bench is this? It's really comfortable and bouncy. Yinghua, you should try it now."

After saying that, he grabbed the little girl's arm and pulled her onto the sofa, then pushed her down heavily with a thump.

It was indeed very soft, and Zou Yinghua's small body actually bounced a little as he sat down.

"Are you comfortable?" Li Hongjun asked her with a smile.

Zou Yinghua shyly lifted her hair and nodded: "Yeah, very impressive."

She had never seen a stool like this before, let alone sat on one. But was it really a stool? Why was it so big? It looked like it could be used for sleeping.

Thinking back to the imposing gate of the community I just saw, and the nice and elegant name of the community... Oh, could Brother Xu and his wife be some big bosses or leaders?

Nowadays, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary families to have such luxurious furniture as sofas. Some of them may not even be in their homes, and they have never even seen them since they were young.

The boy happily took off his shoes and jumped on the sofa. Li Hongjun picked him up, held him in his arms and rubbed him for a while.

"My dear, you are so lucky. My uncle's childhood was not as comfortable as yours. He lived in a beautiful house, had new clothes every month, and had parents who loved him so much."

Qiao An tilted his head and said in a crisp voice: "Uncle, you should also work hard to make sure your baby will live in a beautiful big house in the future."

"Hahahaha——" This kid is really smart and knows a lot.

Sighing, Li Hongjun lay down comfortably and sighed: "It's so comfortable, really comfortable, but how much does it cost?" He estimated that it would not be cheap.

really--

"Two hundred. I asked someone to buy it in the provincial capital." The shipping fee alone cost thirty!

"It's really good, Haizhou is so awesome." It's really expensive, but it's worth the money!

Looking around, not only the sofa is good, the decoration is simply impeccable.

The balcony faces south, and because there is no door, light pours in. The milky white walls illuminate the room very brightly, and there is no need to turn on the lights during the day.

Look at the chandelier on the ceiling. It is a simple crabapple chandelier. It is elegant and unique. There is a passage between the living room and the kitchen. It is said to be used as a dining room, a place for eating! There is also a chandelier hanging above the dining table.

Good guy, good guy, you are really particular!

Think about the yellow light bulbs in your own home. Families in poor conditions in the courtyard can only use kerosene lamps. Well, there are even worse ones, using candles...

According to Li Hongjun's aesthetic point of view, this does not look like the home of ordinary people at all. It is a luxurious palace for entertaining leading officials!

She patted Haizhou's shoulder in amazement, not wanting to take her eyes off the house: "Your wife is really good, really amazing, I will decorate my house according to your style in the future."

One to one copy!

Recalling something, Li Hongjun asked him in a low voice: "Well, how much did the renovation cost?"

Xu Haizhou glanced at him and quietly made a "2" gesture.

"Hiss——" Li Hongjun's eyes immediately widened.

Forget it, just copying half of it is enough.
