Aunt Qiu was also a capable person. After listening to Xiao Qinyun's words, and hearing that Master Shen and Master Yu were planning to take a look with their passbooks tomorrow, she also started to check out her own savings.
In the past few years, she has been living and eating at the Xiao family, and has basically no expenses. The old man has saved some money by doing odd jobs and picking up glass bottles.
Over the years, apart from the expenses for his two grandsons' education and living expenses, as well as the rent, his family still has more than 5,000 yuan left, enough to buy a two-story house.
So, Aunt Qiu also said that they would go and take a look together tomorrow.
Liao Shaohui and his friends have finished their phone call. They have contacted three comrades-in-arms and they will be here in the next few days.
The next day, Qiao Qinglu went to Xidan. The children went to school. Xiao Qinyun took Master Shen and the other two to Houhai. Liao Shaohui and his four companions formed two teams to continue selling goods.
At the end of the day, 7 or 8 people on Qiao Qinglu's side had filled in their information, and Master Shen and his team had signed the contract and bought the yard.
Master Shen spent 6,800 yuan on his third courtyard, Master Yu spent 6,850 yuan on his third courtyard, and Aunt Qiu spent 4,620 yuan on her second courtyard.
To celebrate, Master Shen and his two companions hosted a dinner party today and prepared good wine and delicious food to entertain everyone.
At the banquet, Master Shen raised his glass and said, "Comrade Xiao, Comrade Qiao, I, Shen Hua, am fortunate to have met you two in my life. It is my blessing. I will drink this glass of wine first as a toast."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Qinyun also raised his glass. "Master Shen, Qinglu and I have long considered you family. We are one family and we don't have to talk about our own things. From now on, I will be your elder brother, and Qinglu will be your sister-in-law."
After saying that, he also drank it all in one gulp.
Then, the two of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and called each other brothers.
Master Yu and Liao Shaohui and several other young men were not willing to be left behind. They raised their glasses and shouted "Brother" and "Sister-in-law".
Master Shen and Master Yu also asked the young man to follow his "big brother" and "sister-in-law" and work hard. Their today is the young man's tomorrow.
Father Xiao's eyes welled up with tears when he saw this scene. His eldest son was promising. Although he did not join the army, he solved the worries of retired soldiers in his own way. He was a real man. Father Xiao could not help but drink a few more glasses to feel happy.
On the day of the interview, Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun rushed to Xidan early and saw more than 20 people queuing in front of the store.
After opening, the store was still a bit messy. Qiao Qinglu found a clean corner and asked the girls to come in one by one for interviews.
After the interview, let them wait outside for a while and then announce the end.
Qiao Qinglu conducted a comprehensive investigation of their posture, service attitude, details, conversation, etc., and finally selected two girls, Zhong Xueqi, who loves fashion and is good at dressing up, and He Jiani, who is dignified, generous and eloquent.
Qiao Qinglu gave each of the remaining twenty or so people a piece of jewelry and left happily.
Qiao Qinglu first told them the rules of the store.
1. Serve with a smile and be warm and generous.
2. Treat others with sincerity, neither humble nor arrogant.
3. Be active in your eyes and have a clear mind.
After he finished speaking, he handed them a piece of paper with an address on it. "Starting tomorrow, you two will meet at this address at 9 a.m. to practice setting up the stall. Once the shop is renovated, you two will be the sole sellers of the goods in this clothing store. Is that okay?"
The two shook their heads.
"Okay, if there's no problem, we'll go over there tomorrow and talk."
In the following days, Zhong Xueqi and He Jiani followed Master Shen and the other six people to practice setting up a stall. The three new retired soldiers - Chu Jun, Wang Hui, and Zhang Shilin were temporarily responsible for picking up and dropping off the children. The business license and tax registration were obtained, and the Xidan shop was finally renovated.
