This is a great feeling!
Song Shiwei felt that her brother came at the perfect time.
She had originally thought about meeting her brother and asking him about the renovations, but she didn't expect that the construction next door had already started.
Lime, cement and sand were all brought here.
When Song Shiwei went out, she saw her uncle's two sons, her two cousins, Zhao Xinrong and Zhao Xingui, helping to carry sand into the house!
Two sisters-in-law helped to mix the ashes!
The old man was standing by and giving orders!
Song Shiwei suddenly felt a little embarrassed and hurried over to shout, "Grandpa, why are you and my brother and sister-in-law helping out? Aren't there workers? You should just take a break!"
The old man has suffered a lot over there over the years and is in poor health. What if he gets hurt again after just coming back?
But Mr. Zhao just smiled lovingly and waved his hand.
"It's okay. Besides, your brother and sister-in-law are used to doing work. I didn't ask them to do this. They insisted on doing it. Otherwise, they would feel uncomfortable if they were idle all day long! The most important thing is that they are grateful to you for letting us live in the house. If they can do something for you, they will feel better! So, let them do it!"
Song Shiwei nodded, she understood what the old man meant.
Her two brothers and sisters-in-law are both down-to-earth people. If they knew that the downstairs was going to be renovated, they would feel uncomfortable if they stayed upstairs doing nothing!
But Song Shiwei felt uncomfortable asking them to help with the work every day.
After thinking about it, she asked the old man.
"Grandpa, my brother and sister-in-law have arrived in Beijing. Have they found jobs?"
Old Mrs. Zhao, who was watching the children play, came over with a melancholy look on her face when she heard her words.
"Your brothers and sisters-in-law couldn't go to school there, and your grandfather and I were the ones who taught them to read. Your uncle just arrived in Beijing, and it's impossible for him to abuse his power to help your brothers and sisters-in-law find jobs. So, your grandfather and I are worried about what to do with these children!"
Zhao Xingui happened to pass by with a mud bag in his hand and heard what she said.
He smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. After my sister's house is renovated in a few days, I'll go to Jing City to see if there's any work I can do! If that doesn't work, I'll just follow Uncle Li and weigh sand. I've got plenty of strength anyway!"
Hearing his words, Mrs. Zhao's eyes turned red.
The work done by these mud-carrying women is all hard labor, and they only earn a few dollars a day, or about ten or twenty yuan a month. It's after the New Year, and although it's just the beginning of spring, it's still cold. Her grandchildren and their wives haven't had a good day with them. To be honest, she feels guilty!
Just look at the chilblains on the hands and face of my granddaughter-in-law and you will know. Even these little great-grandchildren have chilblains all over their faces.
In Song Shiwei's room, Zhao Huili lit a stove for them.
As soon as it got warm, they started scratching their ears and cheeks.
What a suffering!
Song Shiwei grabbed her grandmother's hand and comforted her: "Grandma, don't worry, I actually have an idea that I want to tell you!"
"What idea?"
Song Shiwei looked at Zhao Xinrong, Zhao Xingui and his two sisters-in-law working hard in front of him, and said with a smile: "Grandma and Grandpa, the hot pot restaurant my brother and I opened is also recruiting. Why don't you let your brother and sister-in-law come with us? Besides, the salary we are offering is not low, 30 yuan a month, and you can take two days off every month! As long as your brother and sister-in-law work hard, when we open a branch in the future, you can even manage a store and become a store manager! Not only will your salary double, but you can also get commission from the whole store!"
"real??"
Hearing her words, Mrs. Zhao was extremely surprised. This was almost like working in a factory, with two days off every month! In the future, there would be no need to open a branch!
Mr. Zhao was also very happy, but he had a lot on his mind.
"Weiwei, you didn't ask your brother and sister-in-law to work in your store just because they were unemployed? And you're paying them such high salaries! If that's the case, you can't let your brother and sister-in-law cause you trouble!"
Song Shiwei wanted to laugh and just opened his mouth to say, "Grandpa is really not..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Wenlin, who was standing by, heard him and quickly explained with a smile, "Grandma and Grandpa, what my sister said is true. I've been looking for people everywhere these days! My sister said we need to find waiters to take orders in the front hall, as well as kitchen staff to wash and pick vegetables, and cleaning staff. If I'm in the kitchen responsible for making the soup base, we might also need to find a cashier. In total, we need to find seven or eight people!"
His voice was quite loud, and the eyes of the two sisters-in-law who were in charge of the graying process lit up when they heard his words.
But they were too honest and just looked at Song Shiwei and Song Wenlin with expectation, but no one dared to say a word.
It was Old Lady Zhao who happily called them over: "Qiuzhen, Yefang, Xinrong, and Xingui, all of you come here!"
Only then did they both run over with red faces.
Zhao Xinrong and Zhao Xinggui put down the mud bags in their hands, clapped their hands, and walked over.
"Grandma, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Yeah, grandma, what's wrong?"
Old Mrs. Zhao excitedly told them what Song Shiwei and Song Wenlin had just said.
"Xinrong, Xingui, Weiwei and Wenlin just opened this hot pot restaurant and are looking for staff. If you have anything... Wenlin, you go tell me. I'm old and my memory is not good!"
Song Wenlin quickly explained with a smile: "Brother Xinrong, Brother Xingui, sisters-in-law, it's like this. I heard from grandma and grandpa that you haven't found a job yet. It just so happens that our hot pot restaurant is recruiting. I wonder if you and your sisters-in-law are willing to come and work for us! For one month..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Xingui nodded quickly: "I'm willing to work for you and Sister Weiwei, even if it doesn't cost me money!"
Song Shiwei couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Xingui, how can you not pay? I would pay this much to others, thirty yuan a month, with two days of vacation every month. And if you do a good job and open a branch in the future, you can even manage a store on your own! As a store manager, not only will your salary double, but you will also get commissions from the entire store!"
"so much??"
Even Zhao Xinrong was surprised when he heard his words.
Then, he seemed to think of something and felt a little embarrassed.
"Sister, I don't know how to do anything. I only have brute force. I don't know how I can help you!"
At this time, her wife excitedly said: "I, I just heard my sister and the others say that the store is looking for someone to greet customers at the front, someone to wash and pick vegetables in the kitchen, and someone to clean the place. I can do both!"
