More than ten days passed in a row, and everything was calm in the Xiao family. In addition to going to Guangji Hall for medical consultation every three days, Xiao Ming was at home or taking care of the medicine garden, checking on the progress of the school, and occasionally following Shi Tingyu into the mountains for hunting. Collecting medicines and the like, don't mention how relaxed these days are.
Since that day when he went to Wangjiacun to diagnose Li's pulse, Wang Dafu would come over every five days to ask Xiao Ming to prescribe medicine to protect her pregnancy. He was extremely grateful to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming would also go to check on Li's condition, but unfortunately Not to mention that Li's pregnancy came in time, and now her status in the family has been improved. She is really lying down to raise the baby as Xiao Ming said. Wang Dafu is waiting attentively and greetings. The two couples are so affectionate. Xiao Ming's view of him has changed a lot. Although Mrs. Wang cursed her every time, she still endured it for the sake of her children.
On this day, the Xiao family got up early. Mrs. Song led Aunt Ming and Li'er to work in the kitchen. Xiao Han, Xiao Yu and Chen Yuanze had breakfast and did not go to the town to study at Mr. Wu's place because today was Pingcheng. They took leave yesterday, the day the two shops opened.
In order to prepare for the opening of the shop, Yi Feng was busy decorating the shop, and went to the mountains and countryside to buy a lot of grain. Although he didn't know why the girl asked him to store the grain at home first, it was actually more convenient to put it in the store. Okay, but he will listen to the girl if she tells her, even though it is very troublesome to do it again and again.
Two days before the opening, Yifeng hired a fleet of trucks to haul dozens of bags of grain seeds to the city and laid them on the shelves, just waiting for the opening today.
This was the first shop run by the Xiao family, and two shops were opened at the same time. The family took it very seriously. After breakfast, they rushed to Pingcheng non-stop to open at an auspicious time.
When Xiao Ming left, she entrusted the school affairs to Xia Zhongquan and the village chief, and rushed to Pingcheng with her family. Except for Aunt Ming and Mother Yi, who took care of the home with a few children, the others included Xiao Ming, Chen Yuanze, Song, Yi Feng and his son, Ming Sheng and others all went to the town and packed both carriages.
In addition to the Xiao family, the Xia family also went together. Knowing that the Xiao family's new shop was opening today, An asked Shi Tingyu to take Xia Wu and Xia Xiaoba with them. They called it helping. An promised and let Xiao Ming go with them. Don't worry, they will be watching over you at home.
On the carriage, Mrs. Song looked at the receding scenery outside the carriage window and sighed: "I haven't been to Pingcheng for a long time. I don't know what it has become like now." She usually doesn't like to go out, even in the village. She doesn't like to walk around much. Although the family carriage goes to town or Pingcheng every day, she has never thought of going out. This time, Xiao Ming and the others pulled her out, otherwise she wouldn't want to come out.
I remember that the last time she went to Pingcheng was more than ten years ago, when she went to inquire about her Yue'er. At that time, she and Yue'er's father didn't know anyone in the city, so she had to ask people around. Since then, After that, she never went to Pingcheng again. After the death of her man and son, she never went out. She huddled in a corner and waited to die.
Today is different from the past. At that time, she would never have imagined that today, she would live in a big house, with little girls waiting on her, and everyone would treat her respectfully. The wives of high-ranking officials and ladies from wealthy families would treat her with respect. To be polite, the widows in the village who once looked down on her, the son of a dead man, now fawned over her.
Compared with before, these days were like the sky and the earth. She felt a faint feeling of exhaling and raising her eyebrows.
Despite this, she always adhered to her duties, never asked more about family matters, and never made an opinion on Xiao Ming's behalf.
"Godmother, you should go for a walk more often. Staying at home all day makes you bored." Xiao Ming said with a smile. Now that the family has enough people, Mrs. Song still helps her with things as always. Xiao Ming deliberately let her stop and enjoy the work. Qingfu, but she just can't stay idle.
"Now in Pingcheng, we have also bought a new house. From now on, you can go to the city to play every day, and you can also live in the city." No one has ever lived in the new house in the city, but the furniture and furnishings are ready-made. Bring some clothes and bedding and live in directly.
After hearing this, Ms. Song shook her head and waved her hands in disagreement, saying, "I'm not going. What's so interesting about this city? It's just that there are more people and more houses than in the village. It's not as comfortable as living at home."
She was like this, Xiao Ming shook her head helplessly and stopped trying to persuade her.
When we arrived in the town, it happened to be 6 o'clock, and 3 o'clock in the afternoon was an auspicious time for opening. The convoy divided into two groups. Xiao Ming and Shi Tingyu took Xiao Yu and Chen Yuanze of the Song family to the shop on South Street. Xiao Han took Yi Feng Ming Sheng, Xia Wu, Xia Xiaoba and others went to West Street.
Xiao Ming also arranged this arrangement with the intention of training Xiao Han. Although the shop on West Street is small, it is better than the location. There is a large flow of people at the intersection going south and north, so more people are needed to take care of it. With the experienced Yi Feng, Xia Wu and Xia Xiaoba accompanying Xiao Han, she doesn't have to worry at all, and they can also cultivate Xiao Han's ability to deal with things.
Although the place on South Street is large, it is remote and not many people walk there all morning. This place is also meant to be a warehouse.
When Uncle Ming arrived in his carriage, two young men were already waiting at the door. The two young men were sixteen or seventeen years old. They were Liu Xiaoming and Liu Tiesheng, the sons of the Li family and the Da Wang family. In the end, Li family pestered the Da Wang family to find her. When the story about Xiao Ming was revealed, Mrs. Li became very excited after learning that the new shop of Xiao Ming's family was recruiting workers. She asked Xiao Ming that night to sell her son Liu Xiaoming over. I was originally working as a clerk in Pingcheng, so it would be better to work for anyone than Xiao Ming.
Anyway, recruiting one is a move, recruiting two is a move, they are all from the countryside, Xiao Ming agreed without much thought. The two teenagers at the gate were looking towards the intersection at this time, watching Uncle Ming drive the carriage. Coming over, the fair-faced young man looked happy. He ignored the dark-skinned young man next to him and came forward first.
"Uncle Ming, you are here!" This young man is Liu Xiaoming, the son of Mr. Li. He has been working all year round and is used to watching people's faces and words. Although he looks ordinary, he always has a smile on his face. He's talkative and lovable, and he knows how to make things happen.
Compared with Liu Xiaoming, Liu Tiesheng, the son of the Great Wang family, is much inferior. His dark skin looks like he came from Africa. He is always dull and quiet, and he has not received the true inheritance of the Great Wang family at all.
Although Liu Tiesheng is not very good at talking, he is a good hand at work. This is very similar to Uncle Ming. He does not talk but only does things. He has developed good strength by working in iron all year round. He can carry bags on his shoulders. .
Regarding these two new employees, Xiao Ming prefers Liu Tiesheng. Why, because he is honest! Although Liu Xiaoming is clever and eloquent, it is because he is too smart and has many thoughts. In the past few days since he has been here, Yi Feng has secretly seen him clearly. When playing, Yi Feng would run up and down diligently.
Typical opportunistic performance.
Because the location of this store was too remote, Xiao Ming only arranged for two of them to look after the store. In the front, Liu Xiaoming was selling goods and greeting customers, and in the back, Liu Tiesheng was doing the lifting.
