Chapter 918: Adopting Godparents
After seeing Ling Yuan off, Lu Miao turned his gaze back to refill Lin Xian's tea and asked:
"How's the store doing lately?"
During the few days since she came back, she has been hanging around the door of her house.
I've never been to the store.
"It's okay."
Lin Xian turned the cup around and said:
"It's just that the weather is getting colder, and there are obviously fewer people coming into the store to look around."
"The weather affects the flow of people on the entire street, not just us. There's nothing we can do about it, so don't worry too much."
"Um……"
"What brings you here this time?"
"I almost forgot about it when I was talking about other things."
Lin Xian put down the teacup and raised her intention seriously:
"Sister Lu, is our store still hiring? I have a neighbor's sister who I'd like to recommend to you."
Lu Miao nodded and put down his teacup:
"Could you please tell me the details?"
Lin Xian nodded and continued:
"We lived in the front and back alleys. Her family was better off than mine, so she was more educated than me. She only finished the eighth grade, and in recent years, since the college entrance examination was reinstated, she has been attending night school. She originally wanted to continue her studies, but her father fell ill..."
The girl introduced by Lin Xian is called Du Juan.
Dujuan's father is a worker in a coal factory.
In the past, I was strong and healthy, had a stable job and a steady income, so life at home was naturally easy.
But after working in a coal mine for most of my life, I am getting older and some problems have emerged.
Perhaps because he inhaled too much dust while working in the past, Du Juan's father was diagnosed with lung disease around National Day last year.
After undergoing two operations, he has now been transferred back home from the hospital. However, even walking a few steps is quite difficult for him, let alone going back to work.
By the time Du Juan was receiving medical treatment, the Du family had almost spent all their savings. Now they were unable to make ends meet, so she gave up the idea of continuing to take the college entrance examination and wanted to find a job to support her family.
But it’s not easy to find a job.
Du Juan tried hard for a while, but couldn't find a way out, so she came to Lin Xian for help.
After all, ever since Lin Xian started working in someone else's store, the neighbors in the alley have all seen how the Lin family is living.
If someone asked Lin Xian for help, she might not necessarily agree to help.
But the cuckoo is different.
The two little sisters grew up together and their friendship is there.
Besides, Lin Xian knew Du Juan's background and knew that Du Juan was a down-to-earth person, which was why she came here today...
After listening to this, Lu Miao pondered for a while and asked:
"Do you think she's reliable?"
Lin Xian nodded quickly, and after a while she said:
"Du Juan has a great personality. I don't know if she's qualified for this job, but her character is definitely impeccable!"
"Then give it a try. If you can keep her, I can work double shifts with you later."
"Um!"
Lin Xian grinned and nodded vigorously.
Lu Miao thought for a while and continued:
"Go back and help her get acquainted with the situation. She'll learn everything she needs to know. The first month will be considered an apprenticeship. She'll get a base salary of ten yuan, nothing else. If she's able to get started after a month, your salary will be the same as yours at the beginning, eighteen yuan."
"Okay, I'll tell her when I get back!"
Lu Miao said "hmm" and stood up.
After finishing the business, Lin Xian thought she meant to order them to leave, so she stood up as well.
Lu Miao mistakenly thought she was in a hurry to leave, so he comforted her:
"Wait a moment, I'll go with you."
"good."
Lu Miao returned to his room and packed up some scarves and small accessories he had bought in Guangzhou.
I took Lin Xian to the store to organize the items and put them on display.
The silk scarves she picked out were priced at 50 cents each, and the store sold them for a flat 2 yuan each. Small accessories were a couple of dimes each, and she bought a whole bag full of them. It was hard to tell the exact prices, so Lu Miao set a flat price of 30 cents.
As long as you don’t lose money, it’s fine.
After finishing these things, I counted the money in the store.
Lu Miao went to the bank and made a few phone calls after returning home in the afternoon.
Every time she hung up the phone, she would write or draw something in the booklet.
The booklet contains nothing else.
These are the addresses of the factories we have just contacted and the remittance and remittance amount information.
Once the money is remitted, just wait for the postal package to be signed for.
After finishing all this, Lu Miao closed the booklet and told Tang Mei about adopting Ling Sui Sui as his goddaughter:
"I've already made an agreement with Ling Yuan... Auntie, what kind of gift do you usually give to a child for a godparent? You can't go empty-handed, right?"
"You're not kidding, are you? I thought you were just joking."
"Of course not. Why would I make such a joke for no reason?"
Tang Mei also realized that Lu Miao was serious.
After thinking for a while, Tang Mei said:
"These days, we don't care about anything. Just buy the child a couple of new sets of clothes and bring some meat and milk powder. As long as they look good, that's enough."
Lu Miao said "Oh", feeling that the gift was a bit light, but he didn't say much.
When she returned to her room to rest at night, she chatted with Fu Jingyou again.
"If not, give me something else."
Fu Jingyou pondered for a while in silence.
I originally wanted to say the longevity lock, but when I thought about it carefully, the Ling family only has this one child, so they must have made preparations in this regard.
If they sent too much, it would be too heavy for a small neck to wear, so they compromised:
"Take some time to go out and buy a pair of small bracelets or something. Picking one with a good meaning should be fine."
Lu Miao thought for a while and nodded:
"Okay, I'm resting at home these days, I'll take some time to take a look."
As she spoke, she tore out the pages she had written during the day from the booklet:
"Please take some time to help me transfer these sums of money. The remittance process is too troublesome and I don't like going."
She had been planning to do it together when saving money during the day, but it was too troublesome, so she came back.
Fu Jingyou nodded in response:
"Okay, I'll pick it up on my way tomorrow."
"Mm~ You-ge is so nice!"
Lu Miao smiled and hooked her arms around his neck, giving him a sweet kiss.
Fu Jingyou pecked her lips, and the two of them made a mess and rolled into the bed in the blink of an eye.
"You're so warm!"
"Then come back to sleep."
There was a rustling sound in the darkness, and Lu Miao was indeed lying closer to him.
He took her into his arms, close together:
"My hands and feet haven't been cold for a long time. Now that I'm sick, I'm back to the pre-liberation era."
"How can it be so exaggerated?"
Fu Jingyou snorted, thinking "Why not?" but said:
"When I was delivering something to the Ling family, I seemed to have seen someone raising pigeons in that village. I'll go check it out after a couple of days of rest and buy a couple to stew for you."
One pigeon is better than nine chickens. Fu Jingyou always remembers this sentence.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu Miao smiled and leaned into his arms. After a while, he raised his head and said:
"You can buy an extra one when the time comes. Gu Ying looks like she's pregnant again. It wasn't long after her miscarriage, so her physical condition isn't apparent, but she must still be struggling. Pigeons nourish her qi and blood, so eating them would be good for her."
"good."
