Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

Chu Rongguang said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, what do you think of me finding you a job with food and accommodation provided, but the salary might be a little low?"

Qin Huairu was naturally surprised when she heard this, but she immediately felt embarrassed. "Brother Rongguang, I have thought about finding a job in the city, but don't you need a city hukou to be assigned a job? I have a rural hukou and I can't even read a few words. What can I do? I'm afraid I'll mess it up. Can I take responsibility?"

Chu Rongguang smiled and said, "If you don't try, how will you know? Did you see that the store is hiring? Do you want to try? You just happen to have the right qualifications, and you are so beautiful."

"But... I don't know how to entertain customers, and I don't know what to say. Don't let me send people away and affect their business." Qin Huairu said worriedly.

"No, let's go and ask them what the requirements are. If it's not suitable, we won't do it. If it's suitable, you can also have a job in the city. This is much better than your home in the countryside, right?" Chu Rongguang said.

"Can it be done? Don't let people laugh at you. Otherwise, just forget it." Qin Huairu said timidly.

"Let's go and try. It won't hurt to try. If you can get a good job, why not do it? This way you can settle down in the city." Chu Rongguang said, and then he pulled Qin Huairu away.

Qin Huairu was reluctant at first, but when she saw Chu Rongguang was with her, she followed him anyway.

The two of them arrived at the door of the store.

The pretty girl that Qin Huairu was talking about just now greeted them, "Hello, gentlemen, what would you like to buy?"

Chu Rongguang then noticed that the girl's slender hands were now painted with bright red nail polish, which made her fingers look even more slender.

"We have everything here, all kinds of cloth and silk, and ready-made clothes as well." The beautiful girl greeted them generously and asked about their needs.

"Sorry, we are not here to buy anything. We just want to ask about the sign at the door. Are you hiring?" Chu Rongguang asked.

The pretty girl nodded and said, "But we are looking for a woman, the girl next to you?"

Chu Rongguang nodded, "Do you think it's okay? This girl's appearance."

The pretty girl looked at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was a little reserved. The pretty girl smiled and said, "Girl, you don't have to be so nervous. Why are you nervous? I'm not eating people."

"If you treat guests like this, what will you do in the future?"

"Well, tell me your name and what you have done in the past."

This can also be considered as a self-introduction.

But Qin Huairu doesn't know how to do these things, especially since she just lives in the countryside taking care of the family and doing housework. How can she say these things?

Now that she's like this, can we still use her?

Qin Huairu was thinking about how to say this, and Chu Rongguang on the other side said, "Just say it openly and honestly. Tell them what you want to say."

Chu Rongguang had an upright posture, his eyes and brows contained a gentle smile, and his tone was also gentle, like a majestic breeze blowing against his face.

Qin Huairu also went all out. It didn't matter whether it succeeded or not. "My name is Qin Huairu. My home is in Qinjia Village, Changping. I'm eighteen years old this year. I've been doing farm work at home. I can recognize a few simple characters and I can write my own name."

"If you want me to do some tidying up and cleaning, or cooking, I can do it, but as for entertaining guests, I..."

The pretty girl also took a look at Qin Huairu. She was indeed pretty. She nodded and said, "Girl, you are so pretty. It would be a pity if you only do chores like tidying up, cleaning, and cooking."

"Come on, can you come with me? I'll change your clothes for you."

Qin Huairu looked at Chu Rongguang, who nodded and said, "Go ahead, give it a try."

The pretty girl said, "Please help me keep an eye on her here. I'll take her in."

"Okay." Chu Rongguang agreed.

Not long after, the beautiful girl brought Qin Huairu out. Qin Huairu had actually changed her clothes, and it was a cheongsam. The color of the cheongsam was light and elegant, which complemented Qin Huairu's bright and beautiful appearance.

Especially the figure is perfectly outlined, with a swaying, bright and charming posture.

Chu Rongguang was stunned as he looked at her. Is this really Qin Huairu?

As expected, people depend on their clothes.

The pretty girl looked at Qin Huairu and smiled with satisfaction. "How is it? Not bad, isn't it? You are really pretty. It is suitable for you to come to our store."

"You don't know how to greet customers, you can learn slowly, you can follow me and learn from me in the future, but when you are in our store, you must wear our clothes, okay?"

Qin Huairu said in disbelief: "You...are you going to use me? Can a store like yours use me?"

Qin Huairu looked at the fashionable and beautiful fabrics and ready-made clothes in the room. Each one seemed to be worth a fortune. Moreover, the decoration of the store seemed out of reach. It was not a store that ordinary people could afford to visit.

How could a store like this employ a country girl like Qin Huairu who can do nothing but rough labor?

"Yes, let me tell you about myself. My name is Chen Xueru, and I'm the owner of this store." said the beautiful girl, oh no, Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru?

Chu Rongguang felt the name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Soon, Chu Rongguang remembered.

In the drama The Two Women Under the Zhengyang Gate.

Isn’t this someone named Chen Xueru?

Chen Xueru now looks like a girl in her early twenties.

She actually manages such a large silk shop, which is located in a valuable area of ​​​​the old city. No one knows how much money she will be worth in the future. She is a rich woman.

However, Chen Xueru's abilities have never been bad. She should be in the fledgling stage now, but she will become a famous strong woman in the city in the future.

Chen Xueru's ancestors were in the cloth and silk business. After experiencing the tide of the times, their business is still very prosperous. Her business ability is obvious to all, and she is still so beautiful.

Chu Rongguang was a little envious. If anyone married Chen Xueru in the future, Chu Rongguang would be envious.

However, she is just a little girl now, but she will be a powerful character in the future.

After all, Chen Xueru's three men, one named Hou, one named Liao, and the other named Lao Fan, all betrayed her. This is because the man is weak and the woman is strong. Chen Xueru is stronger than all the men.

"But I don't know how to entertain guests. If a customer comes to buy something, what should I say? I can't read very well." Qin Huairu said embarrassedly.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to hide it from Chen Xueru. If she didn't explain it clearly, what would she do if she wanted her to work for him?

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "I want to attract more customers to our store recently, so I thought of finding a good-looking girl to stand here, so that those customers can know more about how good the things in our store are. I think you have good conditions."

"When the time comes, you can wear the clothes from our store and stand here to show our customers how good this stuff is. As for how to entertain the customers, you can just watch from me. Whatever I say, you should tell the customers the same thing."

"Look more and you will learn by osmosis. It's not difficult for us. We just show customers the styles and prices of our store, and tell them the characteristics of our different fabrics and what kind of clothes they are suitable for."

"You just got here, there's no rush, you can learn slowly, and I can teach you when I'm not busy."

Qin Huairu was relieved at this moment. "That's fine. As long as you don't dislike me, I am willing to study hard. I can also do housework, sew and mend, and I can cook."

Chen Xueru nodded, then looked at Chu Rongguang. Seeing that Chu Rongguang didn't say anything, she said, "Then let me tell you about us. We have food and accommodation provided. We live here in the backyard. As for food, there is an old lady at home who is responsible for buying groceries and cooking every day."

"As for the salary, 15 yuan per month, what do you think?"

Chen Xueru seemed to feel a little embarrassed when she mentioned the 15 yuan, and continued: "If you perform well in the future, you can get more money in the future."

When Qin Huairu heard the 15 yuan, she almost fainted with happiness. She couldn't believe how she could find such a good job with free food and accommodation and 15 yuan per month.

You have to know that her father and brother work hard in the countryside, facing the loess and back to the sky to tend to the crops. After paying for the family's food and drink, they only have about 20 yuan left every year, which is not enough to make new clothes for the family and have some meat for the New Year.

Now, if she earns 15 yuan a month, it is more than what they earn in the countryside in a whole year.

This city really can't compare to the countryside.

Qin Huairu felt that her choice was the right one. She should come to the city instead of farming in the countryside, let alone living as a peasant in the countryside.

"I do, I do, I will definitely work hard, I promise to work hard." Qin Huairu said excitedly, her body trembling a little.

"Then when do you think you can come to work?" Chen Xueru asked.

"I'll be there right away. I can come anytime." Qin Huairu said hurriedly, fearing that Chen Xueru would no longer want her.

"Okay, then come over tomorrow. Where do you live? Or stay at my place? It might not be convenient if your lover also lives here." Chen Xueru said, looking at Chu Rongguang who was sitting there with his long legs crossed and looking lazy.

"No, I'm not her lover, I'm her friend. I have my own place to live, not far from here." Chu Rongguang explained quickly.

"Yes, we are friends, not lovers, and we haven't even gotten married yet." Qin Huairu also explained.

If I don't get married now, maybe I will have a chance in the future. I have a job now, food and a place to live, and I am so good-looking. Chu Rongguang also grew up in the countryside, so he won't look down on me.

Qin Huairu felt that she had greater hope and more certainty about this matter.

At least now he has 15 yuan a month and can stay in the city. Jia Dongxu can do whatever he wants and stay wherever he wants.

"So that's how it is. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I thought you all came here together, and..." Chen Xueru said a little embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Rongguang said.

"Then I will come to work tomorrow, and I will live at your place then. I will ask someone to send a message to my family and ask them to bring the clothes from home for me. I will change this dress for you first. It is so expensive. I don't want me to wear it like this and let you wear it out." Qin Huairu explained.

The clothes Qin Huairu changed into last night were those old clothes of Wang Lanxiang and Zhao Yanmin.

There are only a few styles of clothing for men and women nowadays, and the age division is based on appearance.

"Okay, then come over tomorrow. By the way, where do you live now? Is it far from us?" Chen Xueru asked.

"It's not far, just in Nanluoguxiang. Don't worry, it's quick to get there." Chu Rongguang said.
