Chapter 102 An Phone
At noon, Lu Jingshen came back with lunch. After the two of them had lunch, they went to the department store to buy a washing machine.
On the way, Lu Jingshen held Ai Xiaoxia's hand, and the two of them were just like millions of young couples in love. They looked at each other without saying anything, their eyes full of each other.
Lu Jingshen turned around and looked at Ai Xiaoxia from time to time, listening to her talk and expressing her fantasies about the outside world.
Lu Jingshen had long known that his wife was different from others, and now holding her hand like this, he felt much more at ease.
We got in the car and soon arrived at the department store, walked to the electrical appliance counter, and came to the place where washing machines were sold.
At that time, all washing machines were twin-tub washing machines, which meant that the washing and drying functions were separate.
Ai Xiaoxia listened to the salesperson's explanation, understood how to use it, and chose a light green one. Most of them were in this color at that time.
Then Lu Jingshen paid the salesperson and asked him to hire a car to take him home directly.
There are masters to help with the moving, so they don’t have to help.
When they got upstairs, they heard some noise. Fang Ling and He Xiangju both looked through the peephole, but neither of them came out.
Ai Xiaoxia feels that the current situation is pretty good. No one comes to disturb her often, and she has more time to do many things she wants.
When I got home, I moved the washing machine to the dining room because there was no space in the bathroom, so I had to put it in the dining room. Of course, there was no water supply and drainage for the washing machine at that time. When washing clothes, I needed to use a basin to fill it with water, and when spinning, I needed to use a basin to collect the water at the outlet.
But this is also very good. It really saves effort not to wash the sheets and pillowcases by hand.
After fixing the washing machine, it was already late, so Lu Jingshen hurried back to work.
Ai Xiaoxia washed the dirty clothes from the past few days in the washing machine, and then hung them on the clothesline next to the south window.
The afternoon passed in a busy and peaceful manner.
The next day, a telephone was installed at home. After informing relatives and friends of her home phone number, Ai Xiaoxia smiled as she looked at the empty passbook. It was because Lu Jingshen doted on her so much that she spent the money happily.
However, she couldn't tell Ai Xiaoping the phone number, which was very troublesome. After thinking about it, she felt that she needed to trouble someone reliable, so she called Jiang Qingru.
Of course, she also told Jiang Qingru about what happened when she returned home. Jiang Qingru told her not to worry and said he would give the phone number to Ai Xiaoping today.
Ai Xiaoxia thanked Jiang Qingru and hung up the phone. Ai Xiaoxia always remembered her cousin's kindness.
In the evening, Jiang Qingru called Ai Xiaoxia and told her that the phone number had been sent and asked her not to worry.
Lu Jingshen knew that although Ai Xiaoxia said that she accepted everything about her background, after all, she was an adult, but he knew that Ai Xiaoxia was actually feeling uncomfortable inside. If she was his biological daughter, it would be unfair to be treated like this. If she was not his biological daughter, she would have to endure the hardships of the previous twenty years.
There is another point that puzzles Lu Jingshen. It is absolutely undeniable that the Ai family favors boys over girls, because they treat Ai Xiaoping the same way. But this is also what confuses Lu Jingshen. Since their family favors boys over girls, there is no need to put so much effort into their daughter. If there is really something wrong with Ai Xiaoxia's background, then what is their purpose?
But it was not appropriate for him to say too much at this time. The more he said, the heavier the psychological burden on Ai Xiaoxia would be. It would be better for him to help her solve the problem first if he really found something, so that she would worry less. Now, the most important thing was to be by her side and make her feel at ease.
Ai Xiaoxia felt that Lu Jingshen was always by her side, and she looked at him and smiled: "Thank you."
Lu Jingshen also laughed: "Why are you saying thank you all of a sudden?"
Ai Xiaoxia said: "Thank you for always being with me. I feel really at ease with you by my side."
Lu Jingshen said, "You are my wife. From the day I married you, I should always be by your side. Do you still need to thank me for this?"
Ai Xiaoxia tilted her head, looked at Lu Jingshen with some curiosity and asked, "If I had always been the ignorant Ai Xiaoxia who caused you trouble, would you still be by my side?"
Lu Jingshen didn't hesitate at all: "Even if there is no love, I still have responsibilities and will naturally always protect you. I promised Grandpa Ai that it will not change. But now is perfect. We will be a loving and harmonious couple in the future."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "You know what? I used to think that we had no love and I should leave, but you're so handsome, I really can't bear to leave."
Lu Jingshen also laughed: "I used to think that it was useless for a man to be good-looking, but it seems that I was wrong. Being good-looking is still useful."
"I told you you're fat and you're still panting."
"I don't mind when others praise me, but when you praise me, I'm just happy. Is that okay?"
"Okay." Ai Xiaoxia felt so sweet in her heart when she saw Lu Jingshen with his childish side.
The next day, after Lu Jingshen went to work, Ai Xiaoxia had to focus more on the barbecue restaurant. The decoration should be completed by the weekend, and then she would have to quickly prepare for recruitment and training, and try to open it around New Year's Day. She could make a small profit around the New Year, so the time was very tight.
There was no objection to Fang Lan'e managing the kitchen. The secret recipe of barbecue must be controlled by her own people and cannot be leaked. Even if a chain store is opened in the future, Fang Lan'e must unify the ingredients and then distribute them to each branch to ensure a consistent taste.
The person she trusts most in this area now is Fang Lan'e. Of course, to be responsible for these things, Fang Lan'e must be given a management title, such as a deputy store manager or something, so that she has a say here.
These are still temporary. When she opens chain stores and establishes a company in the future, Fang Lan'e will have higher positions waiting for her.
It is no problem for Sun Qiang to find experienced people to be the store manager and financial officer of this store, so it will be easy for them to get started right away.
But the waiter Ai Xiaoxia has her own ideas and wants to refer to modern service concepts, so everything is novel.
She planned to let Jiang Xiuying be the foreman of the waiters, and she would train Jiang Xiuying first. When the waiters were recruited, Jiang Xiuying could train the waiters. In this way, she would be well trained until the opening of the business, and there should be no problem.
But I had overlooked one thing: I had forgotten to ask Jiang Xiuying if she knew how to read. If she couldn't read or count, she wouldn't be qualified for this position, because she wouldn't even be able to write a shift schedule, which would really delay things.
If she can't do this, she will have to recruit people earlier and have time to choose. Speaking of which, for this position, Ai Xiaoxia now values character more, because these things don't require much technical content. People with good character and good interpersonal skills are more suitable.
So the next morning, Ai Xiaoxia went to Jiang Xiuying's house again.
Jiang Xiuying was washing clothes at home. When she saw Ai Xiaoxia coming, she wiped her hands and greeted her into the house.
After sitting down, Ai Xiaoxia said to Jiang Xiuying, "Sister-in-law, the decoration of our barbecue restaurant is almost complete. I came here today to talk to you about the position that is suitable for you."
