Raising a Family [Rebirth]

The old man hasn't come out for a long time, and it's not easy for Wen Rui to enter other people's kitchens, so he can only stay outside and browse the menu, most of which are pasta.

He was watching when he heard a sound behind him, and saw three girls coming in talking and laughing.

The three of them were probably regular customers. They walked to the counter and shouted inside: "Boss, three servings of beef noodles."

The old man came out soon, and while wiping his hands with a towel, he said, "Okay, do you want to add something else?"

"No need." The three girls handed him the money, and the old man took the money and gave them change.

The three of them found a place to sit and chat.

Just as the old man was about to write down the list, he caught a glimpse of Wen Rui from the corner of his eye, and he simply greeted him.

He gestured to the list on the counter: "Just write it down and send it to them by the way." After speaking, he added, "I have to check your ability. There is a menu on the table, which says There is a price. Don't worry, I won't let you pay for the wrong money on the first day."

Wen Rui: "...OK."

He took a pen and quickly wrote down the order that the three of them ordered just now. The handwriting was elegant and neat, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

He tore off a call sheet, wrote "1" and sent it to the three of them.

After finishing all this, the old man still stood there motionless, he asked strangely: "Why don't you go?"

Only then did the old man drop a sentence of "do it well" and got into the kitchen.

Students walked into the store one after another, and they all flocked to the counter to order.

Wen Rui didn't panic at all, and methodically wrote down the list and called the number to collect the money.He has been working part-time to earn money to support himself since he was seventeen or eighteen years old. He is proficient in this kind of work, and he has a good memory. He can remember what others order after listening to it.

"Hold your order number, sit and wait, the face will come up soon."

You boldly said curiously: "The boss actually invited a handsome guy to help, could it be his grandson?"

Wen Rui smiled at the other party and didn't talk to him, just said: "Next."

After a while, more than half of the shop was full, and the quiet shop became noisy and buzzing.

Wen Rui took out the carbon paper under the list and sent it to the back kitchen. The old man asked him to take out the three bowls of beef noodles and put them on the tray on the counter to call the number. The students would naturally serve them.

Wen Rui would look at the menu when he was free. It didn't take long for him to remember the prices on it, and he ordered faster.

The business in the store is very hot, and there are more and more people.

Someone left an empty table after eating, and the old man was too busy cooking the noodles to clean it up, leaving a lot of food residue on it, which made people feel unappetizing.

Some people see that there are no vacancies, so they will clean it up. Some people would rather sit outside than touch those. Although there is a shed outside, it is still hot, and the guests are grumbling and dissatisfied.

It was different after Wen Rui, the old man knew to clean up the table without mentioning him, and even sent the tableware into the kitchen, very skillfully.

The old man was prepared for the young man's inflexible hands and feet, and he had to go outside to help out later, but Wen Rui didn't give him this opportunity at all.

The two cooperated tacitly, and as soon as the lunch hour passed, there were fewer people in the store, and there were only a few scattered people.

There were several piles of tableware in the back kitchen, Wen Rui took the initiative to wash the dishes, and when he heard someone calling him outside, he put down his work and went out to collect the money.

The old man was very satisfied with Wen Rui. Although the other party was a little less talkative, he was agile and diligent, which was already rare.

It was a little busy before the shop completely calmed down.Wen Rui washed the dishes in the back kitchen and cleaned up the table, but the old man couldn't find anything to do after looking around.

In fact, when he first recruited Wen Rui, he wanted the other party to help him set the table and collect money. He didn't expect the other party to do so much extra, so he wanted to give him a salary increase.

He was very satisfied with Wen Rui in his heart, but his face was still serious. He asked, "Are you hungry? I'll cook something for you. What do you want to eat?"

Wen Rui chose the cheapest one.

The old man asked, "Are there any taboos?"

Wen Rui: "No coriander, no spicy."

The other party didn't say any more, and went to the back kitchen to get busy.

After 10 minutes, the old man came out with two servings of noodles. Wen Rui was surprised to find that there were a lot of ingredients in them, all of which were meat dishes, such as beef, meatballs, shrimp dumplings...they piled up so much that the bowl couldn't hold them.

Wen Rui was silent for a moment and thanked her.

The two sat opposite each other and ate noodles, chatting while eating.

"What's your name?"

"Wen Rui. What's your name?"

"My surname is Zhang, you call me Zhang..." Zhang Huaibin originally wanted him to call him grandpa, but he couldn't say it, so he paused and said, "You can just call me the boss. Have you done this before?" Can see It turns out that the other party is not a novice.

Wen Rui nodded and didn't say much.

The old man didn't ask much when he saw this, he just said: "How do you think about it? Do you want to do it with me? I was only planning to let you receive the cash, but you have done so much extra, I can add money to you, one How about Yue Sanqian?"

When he was young, he learned his craft and opened this noodle shop. His whole life went smoothly, and he never had to worry about food or clothing. In addition, he was so easy to satisfy that he had been in business for most of his life. Learn, or do whatever you want, whatever you want.

Besides, his shop is an old shop, and it is no problem to make a net profit of [-] to [-] a month. His son and daughter are very successful outside, and they send him a lot of living expenses every month, so he is not short of that little money at all.

Wen Rui couldn't laugh or cry, he always felt that the old man was too casual, and he didn't even have to frown when he was given a raise.

He is not the one who takes advantage of others, so he couldn't help reminding: "Will the salary be a bit high?"

The other party frowned: "Are you tall? I think it's okay. By the way, students go to school early, and I have to get up at five or six o'clock. But it's good to boil the noodles for breakfast. I can do it by myself. You can come later, seven o'clock Is it okay?" The surrounding residents all came to have breakfast at seven or eight o'clock, and they happened to be busy with the second round at that time.

Hearing his firm tone, Wen Rui no longer refused. He nodded, "Yes." That's what he said, but he would definitely get up early by then.

Zhang Huaibin went on to say: "It is estimated that I will be busy until nine o'clock in the morning, and today is the time period at noon, and from 05:30 to [-] o'clock in the afternoon." In fact, he is busy all day, after all, he has to prepare ingredients and accessories, so every day is a day busy all day.

But at first he said it was an easy job, and he was too embarrassed to let the other party accompany him around.

The old man said solemnly: "Food is included. If you are not willing to eat noodles in the store, I will give you money and you can go out to eat. Do you have a place to live? If you don't have it, I can cover it."

Wen Rui couldn't help laughing. Although the other party spoke with a serious face, he surprisingly found this old man very cute.

"Okay. But I have something to do at dinner time, so I probably won't be able to come. Why don't you deduct some wages."

Zhang Huaibin asked suspiciously: "Can't you come every day?"

"Well, I still have a job as a tutor, and the time is from seven to eight."

"Are you still a tutor?"

Wen Rui put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Well, I didn't find a stable job at first, so I found a job as a tutor."

The old man nodded knowingly: "Okay, how about two thousand seven a month?"

Wen Rui actually felt that he had deducted less, so he couldn't help reminding him again, but the old man didn't care at all, and decided on the salary.

-

Wen Rui started to get busy, because it was inconvenient to go back and forth, the old man also lent him a bicycle.

He couldn't come back at noon, so he had to prepare a lot of food and put it by the flower bed every morning-enough for the puppy's breakfast and lunch, and the puppy was not hungry.

The old man heard that he "raised" three dogs, and would often pack some food for him to take back to feed the dogs.

Wen Rui is so busy with work that he has no time to think about Jiang Yueting.More than ten days have passed like this, and the National Day is coming...

After lunch, Wen Rui was busy clearing the table, Zhang Huaibin came out of the kitchen with a rare smile on his face.

Wen Rui asked, "Why are you so happy?"

"My niece called and asked Guoqing to live with her, so I can go see my granddaughter."

"That's fine."

"Students are also on holiday for National Day, and business is not very good. I just give you a holiday."

"Thank you. When are you leaving? Have you bought your ticket?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't think I'll be back until the tenth of next month. I'm motion sick, and my son-in-law is going to drive over to pick me up."

Wen Rui couldn't help being envious of the old man, wondering if his children would be so filial in his later years, but the thought flashed by, and he shook his head, thinking too far.

-

This Friday, Jiang Hao was going to attend a wedding banquet at a relative's house, so he transferred shifts with his colleagues and prepared to take Jiang Yueting there.

He asked Jiang Yueting to change into his newly bought clothes. Although the other party was displeased, he did not refuse.

Jiang Hao reached out to touch Jiang Yueting's face, but before he touched it, his son turned his face away and walked towards the door without looking at him.

Jiang Hao twitched his fingers with a sneer, followed him and went out.

When the two passed by Wen Rui's door, Jiang Hao couldn't help but twitched the corner of his lower lip. He thought that the other party was difficult to deal with, so he thought of a way to make him retreat. Unexpectedly, the other party knew the current affairs and would not leave for so long. If there is any action, the two families haven't met each other for so many days.

Jiang Hao lowered his voice and said, "See? Such a person who gives up easily can't save you at all."

Jiang Yueting said coldly: "Save me? No one can save me except your death." The cruelty in his words did not match his age.

Jiang Hao sneered: "Honey, I'll wait."

As soon as the two walked out of the doorway, they saw three puppies having fun outside.

The last time Jiang Hao heard Wen Rui talk about dogs, he had a plan in mind at that time, and wanted to use it to stimulate Jiang Yueting, but then he forgot about it when he was busy with work. Unexpectedly, these puppies ran to He came forward.

He whispered something to Jiang Yueting...

Without getting up early to work, Wen Rui slept a little longer.

It was already past nine o'clock when he got up. After washing, he took out the quilt to dry, glanced downstairs and saw three puppies chasing each other in the open space in front of the building.

The puppies grew up very fast, and they were fed by Wen Rui one by one, and they dared to go down the flower bed. Wen Rui was afraid that they would run outside on the road, but he didn't expect them to be very obedient, but they just liked to surround the front building After playing around.

Wen Rui couldn't help but whistled upstairs, and the three puppies rushed into the corridor excitedly, wagging their tails when they heard the sound.

He smiled and turned to go out.

As soon as he reached the first floor, he saw the Jiang family father and son whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He happened to see Jiang Yueting kick the puppy who was circling around him, and the puppy screamed.

Wen Rui's heart skipped a beat. Before he could speak, Jiang Hao yelled, "What are you doing?!"

Jiang Yueting didn't care about Jiang Hao's questioning, and subconsciously looked upstairs. When he saw Wen Rui's figure, he knew it in his heart, so he said why Jiang Hao suddenly changed his face. Words reprimanded him.

Wen Rui didn't notice his movement, so he hurried over and hugged the puppy aside.

He frowned and looked at Jiang Yueting, his eyes were complicated, there were puzzlement, shock, but more anger.

Jiang Yueting turned away his face and didn't look at him, but said to Jiang Hao: "Are you still going?" He was so indifferent as if he didn't care about anything.

Wen Rui originally wanted to find some excuses for him, but when he saw this, his heart was half cold.

Jiang Hao pushed down his glasses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this is your dog? Yue Ting doesn't like dogs, so it's annoying for dogs to pester him. Don't be angry."

Wen Rui nodded indiscriminately, and without further ado, he led the three puppies to the flower bed.

He looked at the three puppies that were alive and kicking, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He was going to go to the town at night to ask if anyone wanted a dog, and if so, he was going to give these dogs away.

Jiang Hao watched Wen Rui leave, and the apology on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by sarcasm.

"Honey, you're always so duplicity, if you don't stretch out your foot to kick the puppy, I wouldn't think you still like dogs, you're trying to hide it..." He snorted, "A child is a child, and the idea is still too simple. "

Jiang Yueting's fingertips trembled slightly, but her tone was still calm: "Are you going or not?"

"Let's go." Jiang Hao hooked his lower lip frivolously, today is really a happy day, he has something to play again recently.
