Chapter 321 Free Old Maid
Because she knew that her mother was always soft-hearted. Even if she didn't understand these things, she would probably agree to help Aunt Hu.
Sure enough, that night Li Xu and Zhang Kun and his wife talked in the room until very late.
The soundproofing of the house here is not that good, and Ji Yuanyuan has sharp ears, so she can vaguely hear the conversations next door while lying on the bed.
At noon the next day, after lunch, Li Xu handed the store over to Zhang Kun and said, "You take care of it. I'll go to Chunli and discuss it with her."
She was afraid that Zhang Kun couldn't take care of the three children, so she waved to Ji Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, come quickly, mom will take you to play with Jingyi for a while."
Ji Yuanyuan hurried forward, Li Xu carried her to the seat of the bicycle, and rode away with her.
Since Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang are boys, Li Xu is not that concerned about them and nothing will happen if Zhang Kun takes care of them.
The two stores are not far away from each other and can be reached in a few minutes by bike.
It was a little after 1 p.m. and there were not many customers in the store.
Li Xu got out of the car, picked up Ji Yuanyuan from the car, and told her: "Mom will talk to Aunt Hu later, you and Jingyi should not run around, okay?"
Ji Yuanyuan nodded vigorously: "I understand, Mom!"
When I entered the store, I found that Jingyi was not there. Hu Chunli was standing and talking with a man.
I don't know what they were talking about, and both of them looked unhappy.
Seeing Li Xu and the other person coming over, Hu Chunli quickly took a step back.
She said to the man, "I have said everything I need to say. Please go first. I have someone here!"
The man reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips, hummed softly, and left quickly.
Seeing this, Li Xu had some guesses in his mind.
After she entered the room, she reached out to cover Ji Yuanyuan's ears and whispered to Hu Chunli, "The man just now..."
She had seen this person when she came yesterday.
That honest man's ears would turn red when he looked at Hu Chunli.
Hu Chunli knew what Li Xu meant: "Yes, he lives in this community. He has two children. His wife died of cervical cancer a few years ago. He cooks for his family and often comes to buy groceries. After a while, he also knew that I was divorced. But I refused!"
Although she covered her ears, Ji Yuanyuan heard the conversation between the two people clearly.
She looked up and looked at Hu Chunli curiously.
The expression on Hu Chunli's face was very calm, and she didn't seem to feel any regret or pride for rejecting a man.
"Well, I don't quite match you in appearance." Li Xu said casually.
That man is not tall and not good-looking. He is indeed not good enough for Hu Chunli.
Ji Yuanyuan thought secretly: Fortunately Aunt Hu refused, otherwise, I would be in trouble.
She had seen a statement online before: if a man’s partner has cervical cancer, there is a high chance that his subsequent partners will also have cervical cancer.
Because the virus that causes cervical cancer is usually carried by men.
Hu Chunli heard what Li Xu said and smiled bitterly, "It's not that. I have no plans to remarry now. How many people are there like Brother Zhang? Not everyone is as lucky as you. If I remarry, Jingyi will inevitably be wronged. Besides, he has two children, both of whom are half-grown children. If it really happens, how can I have time to work? Wouldn't I become a free nanny without salary? Not to mention making money, all the money I have worked so hard to earn will have to go into it."
Hu Chunli was quite open-minded. "So, no matter how good a man I meet now, I will not remarry. I just want to make money now, the more the better. When Jingyi grows up and gets married, then maybe I will consider finding a partner. We can take care of each other and avoid being a burden to Jingyi."
Li Xu smiled when she heard this: "Don't think it's too early. Another ten years or so will be enough. Ten years or so is just a blink of an eye."
More than ten years ago, Ji Zixuan was born.
Sometimes I think about it and feel that time really flies by. It seems that in the blink of an eye, the children have grown up.
Hu Chunli chuckled and said nothing.
Li Xu let go of Ji Yuanyuan's ear and talked to Hu Chunli about things in the store.
"Regarding the matter you mentioned, I discussed it with your brother Zhang last night after I went back home. We both think that your suggestion is good."
Hu Chunli was a little surprised when she heard this: "So that means you agree?"
Li Xu nodded: "I agree. Your elder brother Zhang also said that with your ability, being a clerk is really unfair to you. You are a college student, you are capable, and you have a longer vision than us. If you join, our store will definitely get better and better."
Hu Chunli was a little embarrassed: "What college student..."
"To a certain extent, academic qualifications demonstrate one's ability, including learning ability, adaptability, stress resistance, etc. I envy those of you who are good at studying."
Hu Chunli smiled a little embarrassedly: "What ability? I just rely on my better-off family. If your family was more affluent, maybe you would be a college student now."
Her family had some money back then, so they insisted on supporting her through college.
Unfortunately, those extra years of studying did not help her avoid taking detours.
Hu Chunli sighed and said, "Sister, on Monday, you go to the bank to open an account. It will be our joint account. I will withdraw the money and deposit it into this joint account. If you need money in the future, you can withdraw it from this account."
Li Xu nodded: "Okay, I'll do it on Monday!"
"Also, why don't we hire two people recently and train them in the store first. By the time they are fully proficient, our new store should be almost ready, and they can start working directly then!"
"Okay, then I'll get a few job postings this afternoon and put them up on the wall outside and at the door of the store!"
…
The two discussed for a long time before Li Xu took Ji Yuanyuan away.
The first thing Li Xu did after returning to the store was to go home and find the white paper he had bought.
She drafted a recruitment notice and gave it to Ji Zixuan after revising it: "My dear son, follow this template and hand-copy a few copies for your mother."
The printing place is far away and the price is expensive.
Li Xu thought that since the kids were just sitting there doing nothing, it would be better to save a few cents for the family.
By the way, you can also practice calligraphy.
Ji Zixuan spent an hour and copied more than twenty copies for her.
Li Xu returned home and made some paste.
Ji Zixuan held the paste, Ji Ziang held the job notice, Li Xu held Ji Yuanyuan's hand, and the four of them went out to post advertisements.
The children were all very happy. After posting more than 20 copies, they still felt a little unsatisfied.
