The grandfather is called Chen Fu, he is 45 years old, but he is still healthy, he has not lost all his teeth, only two big teeth, and he is very agile.

The little grandson is called Chen Ku. He is just thirteen years old this year. He is as thin as a bamboo pole, but as tall as Xu Yun. He looks mature. At first glance, he looks like fifteen or sixteen. He can intimidate people when he is taken out.

After hearing the two names, Xu Yun couldn't help but look at Chen Fu again: "Why did you name your child this?"

Chen Fu smiled and said, "My father named me Chen Fu because I have suffered all my life. I thought that since my name is Ku, maybe I can enjoy happiness in the future."

Xu Yun was speechless for a moment, and finally bought two people.

Chen Fu stayed in the house in Zhuangyuan Lane in the North District to clean the house and repair the yard.

And Chen Ku will follow Xu Yun and become his follower from then on.

Chen Fu pulled Chen Ku to kneel down in front of Xu Yun, asked Chen Ku to kowtow to Xu Yun, and asked Chen Ku to swear that he would follow Xu Yun well and serve him loyally for the rest of his life.

Xu Yun brought Chen Fu and his grandson back to the house in Zhuangyuan Lane and asked them to clean the house and settle down today, and then bring other family members to visit tomorrow.

When leaving, Xu Yun went to the bakery and bought a few large pancakes for the two of them as their two meals before leaving.

She was not worried that Chen Fu and his grandson would run away or have any bad intentions. After all, the indenture was in her hands and was registered with the government. If the two of them ran away, they would never live a day in peace again!

As for bad intentions, if the two did anything, Xu Yun could sell them as coolies with just one word, and no one would care even if they died of exhaustion or starvation.

On the contrary, the two of them must be loyal to Xu Yun, because they are now on the same boat with Xu Yun! If Xu Yun has any bad things, they will be in trouble before Xu Yun!

When Xu Yun returned to his house in Guihua Lane in the East District, he saw that the yard was full of things. Xie Wanqing and Hongyu were putting things one by one in their proper places.

I guess these were bought by Xie Wanqing today and just sent back.

While helping to clean up, Xu Yun told others that he had acquired another house and bought it for Chen Fu's grandson.

Hongyu was fine, but Xie Wanqing frowned: "Then we will have to support two more people in the future, which is a considerable expense."

Although they took Xie Wanqing's dowry with them when they left, it wasn't much. Together with the jewelry, it was only enough for them to live on for three to four years.

Xie Wanqing didn't want to touch those things.

After all, Xu Yun was growing up day by day, and she would eventually get married.

Xie Wanqing was really worried. Besides, Chen Ku was still a young boy - he would need a lot of food this year!

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Mother, the house in Zhuangyuan Lane can be rented out in a year at most. Besides, we have a small family and I am busy. With Ah Ku here, she can not only help with the work, but also run errands for me."

What else could Xie Wanqing say? Xu Yunren had already bought it, so even if she felt bad, she could only accept it. She could only remind him, "You still have to save money in the future."

Xu Yun responded: "There won't be any big expenses next time."

On the second day, Xu Yun took Xie Wanqing and Hongyu to Zhuangyuan Lane to get acquainted with the place. He then asked Xie Wanqing to take Chen Ku out to buy some basins, bowls, chopsticks, boilers and other things that were needed here, and then he went out again.

What she has to do is also very simple.

The city of Peking is now in a state of disrepair and opportunities are everywhere.

Yesterday, she went to the West District to buy someone and passed by a bookstore that was hiring.

For Xu Yun, there is no other job more suitable than this!

You know, Xu Yun had a library and wanted to take the imperial examination in the future. What did he lack the most? Books!

And where are there the most books?

One is the family’s library, one is the country’s library, and the rest are major bookstores.

Xu Yun couldn’t leave the first two.

But Xu Yun can go to the bookstore!

Originally Xu Yun planned to go to the bookstore to browse for free - that is, to pretend to choose books, but actually to browse without buying any!

It's okay if the shop assistant doesn't chase you away, but if he has a bad temper, it's not uncommon to be kicked out after you curse at him.

But yesterday, Xu Yun discovered that this bookstore was recruiting people, and they wanted people who could read and do accounting to serve as the people who collected books in the store!

Places like bookstores not only sell books, but also collect books.

All kinds of old books and rare copies can be found at a reasonable price in the bookstore.

The key is that the book collectors deal with books every day! No need to greet customers, just keep an eye out for book thieves!

Xu Yun felt that this recruitment notice was prepared for him!

So, she came over without any hesitation!

Let me ask you, how many good things are there in the world that can both make money and help yourself?

If you don’t take it down when you encounter it, you are stupid!

However, when Xu Yun went over to ask, he found out that there were quite a few competitors.

Including her, five people came to ask this morning alone!

But the other four are men, and she is the only woman.

The clerk in the bookstore couldn't help but advise: "Young lady, even though we are a bookstore, collecting books is also tiring. You have to move the books and carefully check the quality of the books - some old books are so dirty that they are covered with dust when you touch them."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "I can move it, and I'm not afraid of getting it dirty."

Guy: ...Well, I didn’t hear a word.

This bookstore is very interesting. People who come to seek jobs do not ask one by one, but they all stay and wait for the shopkeeper to come back so that they can look at the books together.

Xu Yun didn't care.

After going up to the second floor, I sat at the seat pointed out by the waiter and waited calmly.

However, although he said he was waiting, his mind was already in the library: "Library, call me if someone comes."

Library: "I am not responsible for—"

"Is there a rule that prohibits it? If there isn't one, then it's allowed." Xu Yun already knew how to deal with him.

The library really paused for two breaths and then said, "There is no rule that it cannot be done. Okay, Xu Yun, I will remind you."

Xu Yun was immediately delighted: I can read anytime and anywhere without worrying about missing anything! It's so convenient!

So, in the eyes of others, Xu Yun just sat there motionless like an old monk in meditation.

It was fine for a while, but after a while, everyone couldn't help but glance at Xu Yun: Where did this girl come from? How could she sit still like that? She hadn't drunk a sip of water for a long time, and she just sat there straight, without moving!

Xu Yun actually knew what kind of occasion this was and she definitely couldn't stay still for too long, so after reading for a while, she left on her own.

However, even so, a quarter of an hour has almost passed!

As soon as she exited the library, she felt several people looking at her. The next moment, someone couldn't help but ask, "Are you here to apply for a job?"

Xu Yun looked over and smiled: "Yes. What's wrong?"

The other four people: This is so terrifying! This person can actually sit still like this! He is not even daydreaming!

Xu Yun had a smile on his face, completely unaware of the shock he had brought to the four people.
