Raising a Family [Rebirth]

After that day, Jiang Yueting started to run in the morning, and it took a long distance to get to the bus station. It used to be that Wen Rui rode his bicycle to drive him, but now he ran there by himself.

Wen Rui followed him slowly on a bicycle.Jiang Yueting ran to the bus stop out of breath and flushed.

Wen Rui quickly took out his water glass from Jiang Yueting's schoolbag and handed it to him.

Wen Rui bought this water glass for him. It was cartoon-like and had a straw. Jiang Yueting liked it very much.

Wen Rui accompanied him to wait for the bus, and when he saw the bus coming from a distance, Wen Rui handed him the schoolbag, still saying the same old things, "Be careful on the road", "Don't talk to strangers", "Let the teacher hit me if you feel uncomfortable. Telephone"……

He would explain this every day, and Jiang Yueting never showed an expression of boredom, and every time he gave a light "um", it was a promise to him.

"Brother, see you at noon." After Jiang Yueting finished speaking, she got on the bus with her schoolbag on her back.

"See you at noon, be careful on the road."

After watching the bus go away, Wen Rui rode to the noodle shop.

-

Wen Rui didn't expect to see Huo Qiming again so soon, when the other party led Huo Qian to appear in the store, he was momentarily at a loss.

Huo Qiming's tall figure stood in front of Wen Rui, casting a large shadow. He smiled and said, "Little boss, we meet again."

Wen Rui looked at him suspiciously: "You?"

Huo Qian has long since lost yesterday's arrogance. He follows behind Huo Qiming, like a child who has made a mistake. His lips are very cute. Now he slightly pulls out an arc of grievance, which looks like a love A spoiled big boy.

He hurriedly said: "Little boss, tell me, is the person I beat up yesterday an idiot?"

Wen Rui listened to the two of them yelling at the little boss, and smiled helplessly: "I'm not the boss, I'm just a handyman. Did you come here because of his beating?" He said the last sentence to Huo Qiming .

Huo Qiming nodded: "His teacher called me and said that he beat the students again, and he was still the school committee member of Class One."

Wen Rui couldn't help but find it funny seeing Huo Qian's aggrieved look, he and Huo Qiming explained what happened yesterday.

"I thanked him very much yesterday. Although it's wrong to hit someone, I couldn't hold back myself." Wen Rui said shyly.

When Huo Qian saw someone testify for him, his tail stood up instantly, and he said repeatedly: "Listen, listen, this kind of stupid little boss can't help but do it! Shouldn't he be beaten?"

Huo Qiming glanced at him lightly, and Huo Qian died down immediately, and continued to reflect with his head down.

Huo Qiming snorted and laughed: "If you give you three points of color, you will open a dyeing workshop? But don't worry, I won't beat you this time."

Only then did Huo Qian show a smile, his little canine teeth were all exposed, he moved to Huo Qiming's side and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Wen Rui thinks this kid is quite interesting, yesterday he looked like an idiot who wouldn't fucking mess with me, but today he looks like a kid who is happy just to eat candy.

"Okay, let's go back to class." Huo Qiming was called by Huo Qian's head teacher. He promised the teacher that he would teach this boy a good lesson, but his little nephew insisted that he was wronged, and he was pulling him to seek justice for himself. .

Huo Qian pouted nonchalantly: "Physical education class, it's fine, you can skip..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Huo Qiming tending to raise his feet, so he quickly followed suit, "I'll go to class right away." I slipped away.

"Your nephew is quite interesting." Wen Rui narrowed his eyes with a smile seeing his fleeing back.

"Well," Huo Qiming looked at Huo Qian's back, his eyes softened, "On the outside, he behaves like a wolf cub, but in fact he has a child's heart, a puppy." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the eye shop, strangely Ask: "Is there no one in the shop today?"

Now at 09:30, Zhang Huaibin went shopping for vegetables, and Wen Rui was sorting out yesterday's accounts.

He said: "There is no one at the moment, and we will be there after eleven o'clock. Do you want to sit down? I'll pour you a glass of water."

Huo Qiming did not refuse: "Thank you, I'm sorry." He sat at the place closest to the counter.

Wen Rui poured him a glass of water from the back kitchen. He couldn't let the other party sit there alone, so he just sat across from him and chatted with him.

Huo Qiming: "I thought you were the little boss of this house."

"No, I'm an apprentice."

Huo Qiming didn't ask him why he dropped out of school at such a young age, but just said: "Well, after learning the craft, you won't have to worry about food. Like me, I can't do anything except plant trees."

"You still plant trees? What kind of trees?" Wen Rui only heard the old man mention it, but he really didn't know the details.

Huo Qiming said: "Our town mainly grows melons, fruits, vegetables and mountain bamboo shoots, and I am involved in both."

Wen Rui grasped the key words, and asked back, "Do you grow vegetables?"

"That's right," Huo Qiming took a sip of hot water, "There are many mountains in the house, and they have been developed to grow vegetables. Bamboo, citrus, and pears are grown on the hills."

Wen Rui hurriedly asked: "May I ask, what is your market like? Is it convenient to say?"

"Market? Which one do you mean? Citrus and pears, I have partners, and they will be shipped to them by truck every year when it is in season. As for vegetables, the cycle is short, and they are usually sold to farmers' markets. Most of the farmers' markets in the city come from us. Buying vegetables." Huo Qiming smiled and looked at Wen Rui, "What's the matter? Why are you asking this?" He didn't think the other party would ask him this for no reason.

Wen Rui didn't hide anything, he smiled embarrassedly, and told the other party about the situation in the store.He wants to wholesale vegetables from Huo Qiming, and the cost should be lower if he does not go through the process of the farmers' market.

After hearing this, Huo Qiming said straightforwardly: "No problem, but my family grows relatively few vegetables. I can introduce you to other families. I can contact you for whatever you want."

The other party agreed so casually that Wen Rui wondered if it was a polite remark.

"But the amount I buy is definitely not as much as the farmers' market. To be honest, we haven't started to try it yet. We don't know how much we need every day, and we don't know what kind of food students like to eat."

Huo Qiming: "It's all right. We vegetable farmers just need to sell the vegetables. It doesn't matter how much. Anyway, the price is there. There is no difference between selling to you and selling to farmers. As for the quantity and variety you just said, You can try these first. Are you a chef? " He gave Wen Rui a questioning look.

Wen Rui nodded: "Well, I am."

Huo Qiming was a little surprised, the other party looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, if his cooking skills really reached the level of a chef, it would mean that the other party started working as an apprentice at the age of fourteen or fifteen, which was a bit unbelievable.

Wen Rui understood his doubts, and didn't know how to explain it, so he scratched his forehead in embarrassment.

Huo Qiming saw his embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic, he said: "Sorry, I was distracted just now. Since you are a chef, you must know what dishes to cook."

"Actually, I would like to know about the pricing of your vegetables. If our customers are students, then the cheaper the price, the better. I want to consider what kind of dishes to make based on the pricing of vegetables, and I will look back after a while The sales volume of each dish, depending on the situation, consider the amount and type of wholesale vegetables."

Huo Qiming nodded approvingly when he heard his logic was clear.

"There is nothing wrong with what you said, but you have to think about it. There are no greenhouse vegetables in our town, and the vegetables are all in season. If you wholesale from us, you have to consider seasonality. Your menu must be based on the season. change with the change.”

"Yeah, I almost forgot about that."

"I'm back." Zhang Huaibin entered the store carrying the bag, who knew there was an outsider, he looked at Huo Qiming in surprise, "This is?"

Wen Rui walked over to take the bag in his hand, and he introduced the two of them.

Huo Qiming stood up and greeted the old man, he asked, "What time is it?"

Wen Rui glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It's almost ten o'clock."

Huo Qiming's expression changed immediately, and he quickly said: "I'm still in a hurry, I have to go. By the way, what you just said is not in a hurry right now?"

"No hurry, if you have something to do, go quickly."

"Okay, when are you free? Let's make an appointment, you go to our town, and I will take you to understand the specific situation."

"It's the weekend, the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, contact me when the time comes." Huo Qiming greeted them with a smile and left.

Zhang Huaibin was at a loss: "What's the matter? How did you start chatting with him?"

Wen Rui told the old man exactly what happened.

Zhang Huaibin shook his head with a smile when he heard the words: "You boy...you should go buy a lottery ticket recently. You really want to do whatever you want."

Wen Rui also laughed when he heard the words: "Yes, this year is very smooth, maybe my son's New Year's blessings have worked."

Zhang Huaibin scolded with a smile: "If the baby hears you call him son, I will scold you to death, shameless."

"That won't be the case. My family Yueting is a good and polite boy, at most he will be sullen."

"Okay, okay, don't be poor, go pick and wash vegetables."

Wen Rui: "I'll be there on Sunday, will you come with me?"

"No, one is enough, and we can't keep opening. Last time, someone asked me, boss, don't you want to do it anymore? Why do you always ask for leave recently?" Zhang Huaibin took the vegetable basket, "I don't care, you can do it later. If the shop is entrusted to you, you have to make a name for it. You can’t let people mention this noodle shop and think of the owner as capricious, closing the door every three days and going out to play, it’s not good.”

Wen Rui was warmed by what he said: "Thank you."

"In the future, I will have to share it every year, so I won't suffer." The old man muttered and rummaged through the bag.

"Are you busy?" He is doing most of the talking in the store now, and Wen Rui is afraid that the old man will feel tired.

"Old bones can still do it. Oh, yes, it's almost May [-]st, and I have to go to my daughter's house. Then I won't give you a holiday. You will also be a boss in the future, and you can't always have holidays. When the time comes, the store will give you a holiday." You take care."

Wen Rui hesitated and nodded: "Well, good."

"What? Want to take Yueting out to play again?" Zhang Huaibin couldn't bear to think about the child, "Forget it, I'll give you a day off on May [-]st."

Wen Rui smiled and said, "Thank you."

The effect of the three-day free soup trial was not bad. Wen Rui not only made pork rib soup, but also boiled fish soup. Everyone liked it, and many people were willing to buy it after the free period ended.

Wen Rui hung up a suggestion book in the store. Everyone has other favorite soups to mention. If there are more soups to mention, he will consider making them.

He said hello to the students in advance, saying that there might be some cooking next week.

"What kind? Big pot dishes?"

Wen Rui: "No, it's just ordinary stir-fry."

Everyone is happy to have fried food, but...

Some students hesitated and asked, "Is that expensive?"

Wen Rui said with a smile: "It hasn't been decided yet, but it shouldn't be too expensive. After all, you are all students."

Everyone still believed in the old man and Wen Rui, and they all had some expectations.

The noodles are delicious, but everyone is from the south, so they still like to eat rice and vegetables.

Originally, every weekend, the children went to tutoring during the day, but because of the work of Wenrui Noodle Shop, the time could only be pushed to seven o'clock at night.

After two hours of tutoring, it was already 09:30 when the children were sent away.

Jiang Yueting's sleep time is very fixed, and now she goes to bed at ten o'clock every night.

It was already eleven o'clock after Wen Rui finished his work. He entered the bedroom in the dark and gently lifted the quilt.

Jiang Yueting moved suddenly, he subconsciously pasted it, and asked in a daze, "What time does it start tomorrow?"

Hearing his vague words, Wen Rui's heart softened, and he stuffed Jiang Yueting's exposed arms into the bed.

"Tomorrow rest, sleep a little longer."

"No, I want to run... I want to grow taller..." Jiang Yueting muttered softly after falling into a dizzy sleep.

Wen Rui couldn't help reaching out and pinching his soft face, the little baby was more like a child when he was sleepy.

He said: "Good night, I will call you tomorrow at 07:30."

"Good night..." Jiang Yueting was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and she didn't care about Wen Rui's "harassment".
