Ruyi was planning to close down for a few days, so she asked Uncle Xu to write a notice stating that Ruyi Noodle House would be temporarily closed for rectification and would reopen in seven days.
She planned to give everyone a holiday while the shop was closed. They had been very busy these days, and it was a good opportunity for her to take a few days off and prepare the maids and ingredients for the spicy hot pot.
Xiaoguo chatted with her for a while, then prepared to leave as she still had things to buy.
Ruyi happened to have nothing to do this afternoon, so she asked Xiaoguo what she wanted to buy. When she heard that she wanted to buy bricks and tiles, she laughed, patted her chest, and said that she would take care of it.
She grew up in the county and knew exactly what was sold in the area and where to find the best bargains.
Xiaoguo thought, that would be great, it would save her the trouble of going there and visiting each house.
With the help of Qin Anming, Ruyi got on the donkey cart and sat steadily next to Xiaoguo, while Zhuangzhuang followed Qin Anming.
Ruyi and Xiaoguo were talking about the place, and they said the products made there were very sturdy and durable.
Xiaoguo drove the bike and moved forward according to the direction Ruyi said.
Along the way, Ruyi had a rare moment of leisure, grinning and talking to Xiaoguo about his plans and the work he needed to prepare.
Xiaoguo looked ahead and listened to Ruyi, chatting with her while offering his own suggestions.
As they were talking, Xiao Guo hadn't heard Ruyi's voice for a long time and felt strange, so he turned to look at her, wanting to see what was wrong with her.
Who knew that when he turned around, he saw Ruyi staring blankly behind him. Xiaoguo wondered what she was looking at. He looked in the direction of her eyes and saw Qin Anming, who was talking to Zhuangzhuang behind him.
Xiaoguo called Ruyi twice again, and finally she reacted.
"Hmm? Oh, I was just thinking about something, hehe."
Ruyi was a little embarrassed and blushed as she turned her gaze away from Xiaoguo.
Fearing that Xiaoguo would continue asking questions, she quickly changed the subject. Xiaoguo thought for a moment that Ruyi was probably looking at her brother.
Indeed! His brother is really good-looking, tall, and not skinny!
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally touched Ruyi.
"Oh, by the way, Ruyi, I haven't had time to introduce you to him yet. This is my brother, Qin Anming. He's 23 years old this year, and we haven't gotten married yet."
When he was mentioned, Qin Anming looked up at Xiaoguo in confusion, wondering what they were talking about.
After receiving a strange look from Xiaoguo, Qin Anming was even more confused. He could only turn to look at Ruyi, signaling her to solve the problem.
Who knew that Ruyi's face turned even redder, and she didn't dare to look at him. When he looked at her, she immediately turned her head to Xiaoguo, her heart pounding.
Xiaoguo's brother is so handsome. I only took a quick look at him in the morning because I was in a hurry. I just thought he was good-looking. At noon, I didn't pay attention to him because I was thinking about the spicy hot pot Xiaoguo mentioned. Now that I have nothing to do, my eyes always look at him involuntarily. Am I crazy? !
Looking at Ruyi's expression, Xiaoguo knew there was no way she didn't know what the other person was thinking. But looking back at her silly brother, she felt really tired. The girl was blushing so much, but he was still laughing with Zhuangzhuang.
Xiaoguo thought about her brother, who was already past the age to get married, but still had no plans.
Thinking of this, Xiaoguo turned around and looked at Ruyi. This girl was kind-hearted, pretty, and old enough to get married. Why not help them?
But then I thought, this relationship is a matter between two people, I can't interfere, I can only provide convenience.
"By the way, Ruyi, you said at that time that you wanted me to help you, right?"
Ruyi suddenly came to her senses and thought about what Xiaoguo said.
Because of the malatang incident, Ruyi wanted Xiaoguo to watch over the store with her, otherwise she would be alone and feel uneasy.
"Yeah, you agree?!"
Ruyi immediately put aside all other thoughts and focused on Xiaoguo's words. It would be great if she was willing to help her!
Xiaoguo shook her head, "I can't go. I still have Zhuangzhuang. After the New Year, Zhuangzhuang will be going to college. I have to do a good job of enlightenment before he goes to school."
Ruyi nodded in disappointment. Xiaoguo had indeed said before that being strong and healthy was the most important thing.
"But I can let my brother go, and give him 20% of my 40%, and we'll each take 20%."
Xiao Guo looked at Ruyi after he finished speaking, "How is it?"
Ruyi was stunned, then turned to look at Qin Anming, and saw that he looked confused. How come he was talking about me?
Ruyi certainly thinks it's a good idea, but it still depends on whether Qin Anming agrees or not.
Qin Anming already knew what Xiaoguo and Xu Ruyi were going to do, and he heard it clearly along the way.
To be honest, he was very tempted, he also wanted to have his own thing to do. Although it was good to be with Xiaoguo, there was not much for him to do, and he had nothing to do at home every day. It would be best if he could come to the noodle shop to help.
Ruyi first expressed her agreement, and then it was up to Qin Anming to decide.
Qin Anming first glanced at Xiaoguo, and after receiving the other party's encouraging look, he looked at Xu Ruyi and said, "Okay!"
Ruyi was happier than Xiaoguo and cheered loudly, which scared Xiaoguo and the other two.
Then I covered my mouth in embarrassment and apologized, sorry, sorry...
"Sister Xiaoguo, if Brother Anming can come and help, you don't need to take your 20%. You can continue to take 40%, and I will give Brother Anming 10% alone. In addition, I will give him a salary every month."
Xiao Guo shook her head repeatedly, her expression serious, "No, that's too inappropriate, I'll just give my brother half of it!"
Public is public and private is private. Ruyi has already taken the smaller share, and I cannot let her down again!
"It fits! Sister Xiaoguo!"
Ruyi interrupted Xiaoguo and said, "Brother Anming didn't come here to work, but to invest in the noodle shop with us. It's just right for him to get a commission!"
Xiaoguo looked at Ruyi and saw that she was not joking. After thinking carefully, he realized that this was the case!
Qin Anming came to the noodle shop and took Xiaoguo's place. He had to do the same job as Ruyi, so it was right for him to get a share of the profits.
But Ruyi cannot be allowed to pay for this share!
Xiaoguo and Ruyi talked for a long time, but Ruyi refused to back down and said that she would give Qin Anming 10% and Xiaoguo didn't need to share it!
Ruyi was quite stubborn about this matter. Xiaoguo and Qin Anming failed to persuade her no matter what. They had no choice but to give up. It seemed that they would have to compensate her in other places in the future!
Qin Anming was also full of fighting spirit. He made an appointment with Ruyi to come over tomorrow to familiarize himself with the work and ingredients.
Xiaoguo saw that the two of them were chatting happily, so she waved to Zhuangzhuang to come over to her, and Zhuangzhuang rolled into Xiaoguo's arms.
The donkey cart was parked at the place recommended by Ruyi. When I went in, I saw that the workmanship was indeed very fine and the materials were very solid.
Xiaoguo directly ordered 500 tiles, 100 bricks, and a sack of lime. There happened to be some oil paper, so Xiaoguo ordered a large piece of it as well.
After buying things, it was getting late, so Xiaoguo sent Ruyi back first. After she came home, Xiaoguo drove home.
They hurried back to Taohua Village. Along the way, Zhuangzhuang was so sleepy that he couldn't close his eyes. Qin Anming held Zhuangzhuang and talked to him all the time. He couldn't let him sleep. If he slept now, he wouldn't be able to eat for a while and couldn't sleep at night.
