Seeing that someone came to the door so soon, Ye Feiyang was overjoyed, and immediately threw the auspiciousness to Xiao San who was beside him, and walked towards the person quickly. The person who came was not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old His body was rather thin, his complexion was not very good, his expression was a little timid, and he was wearing some white washed navy blue clothes. The clothes were a little big, as if they were covering him, but they were washed very clean.As soon as they met each other, Ye Feiyang suddenly felt sorry for the child. If it were in modern times, such a child would still be studying in school carefree. The smile on his face was warm and sincere: "Yes, you Come in and sit down, let's talk slowly!"

This enthusiastic look not only did not play a comforting role, but made the young man shrank his neck, as if thinking of something, he faintly retreated, he lowered his head, and muttered: "I, I still have something to do."

However, the voice was too low, Ye Feiyang couldn't hear clearly for a while, he had already pulled his arm, and gently took it to the only table in the room, and said in his mouth: "I see that you have been standing outside for a long time, and you feel a little thirsty. Right? Have a sip of tea first, and we'll talk later."

The young man raised his head in confusion, glanced at Ye Feiyang quickly, seemed to be shaken by his smile, and immediately lowered his head again, but he had already walked over with him involuntarily, drinking tea?You can't drink this tea casually.

Auspicious pouted on the side, the boss was not happy, he was already upset by being thrown to the queen mother's grandmother before, but just now he was thrown to Xiao San by his father again, the little guy's little glass heart suddenly shattered, twisting the little boy Struggling out of Xiao San's arms, he ran to Ye Feiyang with small steps, raised his head and said, "Dad, Jixiang is thirsty!" The implication is that he also wants to drink tea!

Ye Feiyang first poured a bowl of tea and put it in front of the boy, then poured another bowl, hugged Jixiang, and fed him.The boy looked at the tea in front of him and swallowed secretly. He had been standing outside for a whole day, thirsty and hungry, but is this tea really drinkable?Immediately after seeing the kind-looking man in front of him pick up the cute and noble doll and feed him tea, the doubts in the boy's heart were gradually dispelled, he quickly brought the tea, took a sip, and immediately put it down again Yes, continue to lower your head and rub your fingers.Seeing that he was so cramped, Ye Feiyang turned his head to look at Qishu and Xiao San, Qishu understood, and immediately found an excuse to invite Xiao San out.

When the people left, Ye Feiyang thought for a while, and then asked: "I'm Ye Feiyang, I opened this restaurant together with my friends, what's your name, and how old are you?"

The boy's voice was still very low: "My name is Li Xiao, and I'm seventeen."

He is 17 years old and looks really thin. Ye Feiyang asked again: "Where do you live?" After asking, he saw the boy wring his fingers tightly, and he quickly explained, "I'm not asking you, just to make sure Let's see if you need a place to live from us."

After hearing this, the boy raised his head quickly, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "Are you willing to hire me?"

Ye Feiyang smiled and said: "Well, our restaurant does not have high requirements, as long as we are willing to obey the arrangement and be diligent when doing things. We eat three meals a week, and if there is no place to live, we can also arrange accommodation. As for the monthly salary, I don't know much about the market, so tell me the amount you want, and I'll see if it works."

The young man didn't seem to expect it to be so easy. Ye Feiyang in front of him was very kind, and his kindness seemed a bit too much. Whose shopkeeper would be so easy to talk to?He didn't even ask about his details.

Seeing that the young man didn't speak, Ye Feiyang thought he was embarrassed, and gently persuaded him: "Don't be afraid, just speak out, if I think it's too much, I will discuss it with you."

The boy hesitated for a while, and said a number in a very low voice.Ye Feiyang was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he had misheard, and asked again, but the young man thought that Ye Feiyang was too much, and immediately shook his head, with some faint hope in his eyes: "Is that 50 essays okay? I want to save some money."

Now it was Ye Feiyang's turn to be stunned, only 50 Wen!With just 50 words, the young man still spoke so humblely, like a huge number, Ye Feiyang couldn't help but looked at the young man carefully again, his pale face didn't seem to be sick, but rather chronically malnourished.He thought for a while and asked in a gentle voice: "Xiao Li, 50 Wen is too little, I will give you more, but can you tell me something about your family, or where you worked before? "

Li Xiao bit his lip, and seemed to be struggling a bit. The impatient Xiao San who had stood outside waiting for a long time entered the room again, heard some of their conversations, and said immediately: "Li Xiao, did someone treat you harshly before? You Just say, the person next to me is the famous General Qi, he will make decisions for you."

The sudden voice startled Li Xiao, subconsciously glanced at Qishu, not sure if the words were true or not.Ye Feiyang tried a few words of gentle persuasion, and then he heard Li Xiao intermittently say that his parents are gone. Last year, someone from the village introduced him to work in a restaurant in the capital, saying that he was a relative of his family. Good food and housing, 100 Wen a month, but that relative is a stingy person, and every month he always finds some mistakes in him to deduct his salary, and even more harshly criticizes him, and the house he lives in has always been a firewood house .Li Xiao was not familiar with the place of life in the capital, and he wanted to change his place to work, but he had nowhere to go. He woke up late this morning because of his dizziness, but was scolded by his relative's wife. In a fit of anger, he Finally couldn't bear it and ran out, thinking and thinking, just made up his mind to go back to the village, but saw that Ye Feiyang was recruiting people here, he was a little eager to try, so he wanted to try, but he was worried that all the shops in the capital would follow him. That relative is average.

Ye Feiyang didn't expect that such a black-hearted businessman really existed. In the past, he only acted in TV dramas to make people so miserable on purpose to make people cry, but now he saw one alive!The young man in front of him looked malnourished, obviously the result of long-term abuse.Qi Shu is the calmest among the three. He has been used to seeing the bleak world since he was a child, and there are more bleak things than this. Now he just thinks that since this young man has entered this door, it is destined, and he should be taken in. Don't worry about it. I really didn't think so much.

On the contrary, Xiao San was dumbfounded, and then he was furious: "There are such unscrupulous merchants under the feet of the dignified emperor! Where is the shop of unscrupulous merchants?"

Li Xiao, who was supposed to be the most aggrieved, turned out to be the most ordinary one. Xu has been used to it for more than a year. How could he, who has always been timid and fearful, tell the shop of that relative? Besides, in his eyes, that Relatives provided him with food and lodging, and did not beat him, which is not bad.

Seeing Li Xiao lowering his head and pursing his lips but refusing to reveal the whereabouts of that shop, Xiao San's anger became more and more intense. He just wanted to shake Li Xiaohuang for a few times, and he was venting his anger on him by his majestic prince. unwilling!

Qi Shu is the most considerate person for Li Xiao, so he stopped Xiao San immediately, and persuaded him: "He doesn't want to say it, but he has his own reasons, so calm down and discuss this matter later." Xiao San snorted angrily. walk away.

Ye Feiyang looked at Li Xiao who was obviously frightened, and thought that he came out early in the morning and stood outside for a whole day, so he probably hasn't eaten?Immediately, he brought out the snacks that the queen mother had given to Jixiang. Of course, he didn't forget to ask Jixiang what he meant: "Jixiang is good, my uncle is hungry, how about some snacks for my uncle?"

Jixiang is a generous and good boy, he nodded immediately, and pushed the plate in front of Li Xiao while leaning on the table: "Little uncle, eat, this is delicious!"

Li Xiao is actually a simple person. He could feel the kindness of the people in front of him. He carefully twisted a piece of pastry and took a bite. He squinted his eyes. It really was a delicious snack!The delicious tongue is about to bite off!He swallowed the piece in his hand three or two times, and twisted another piece from another plate. Soon, he tasted everything, then put down his hands, looked at the pastries reluctantly, and lowered his head again.

Seeing this appearance in Ye Feiyang's eyes, he felt even more distressed: "Why do you eat so little? It's less than Jixiang's. Drink some tea and eat some more."

Li Xiao was very hungry, and after being persuaded a few words, he ate some more, but he still didn't dare to let go of his stomach to eat.Ye Feiyang didn't continue to persuade, anyway, it's almost time to eat, so it's better to eat less to pad your stomach.Seeing that the young man seemed to have relaxed his vigilance, Ye Feiyang suggested: "Since you have decided to work here, you should always tell me over there, so as not to worry people. Besides, you should still have something There, take it together by the way, and live with us from tonight." Li Xiao was stunned, looking at the empty room, his eyes were a little confused.

Ye Feiyang said again: "This restaurant has not been built yet, you can go to live with us at home. We will go and get your things for you later, and then go home together, okay?"

After all, Li Xiao is not deep in the world, and his mind is relatively simple. He didn't notice the loopholes in Ye Feiyang's words for a while, and when he got into the carriage with them, he realized that if he went to get things together, wouldn't he expose the restaurant? s position!But now that they are all in the carriage, it is not too late?

Seeing Li Xiao's restless appearance, Qi Shu said: "If you don't want to, we won't trouble him. You can just say goodbye to him and take your own things."

Li Xiaolian nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, General Qi."

Qi Shu smiled and said, "Just call me Big Brother Qi."

"Thank you, Brother Qi."

Ji Xiang nestled in Ye Feiyang's arms, and looked at this new little uncle curiously. When his eyes met him inadvertently, the little guy immediately showed a big smile without hesitation, making Li Xiao's heart more stable. .

The carriage followed Li Xiao's instructions, and it was two streets away from Ye Feiyang's restaurant. Ye Feiyang came to eat once the day before yesterday, and had diarrhea in the evening.The carriage stopped at the back door of the restaurant, and Li Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage, while Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu sat on the carriage and watched, but did not get off.

Li Xiao stood outside the door and knocked for a long time. When the praying tree frowned, the door opened, but even if a bag of things was thrown out, he heard the man's sour tone: "Oh, what's the matter?" Who do you think it is! What? You want to come back after leaving? Do you think we are a vegetable garden? Our small temple can't accommodate you, a big fairy."

Li Xiao was stunned by the package, and the door in front of him was slammed shut again. He bit his lip and kept silent, remembering that there was someone waiting behind him, so he squatted down to pack the scattered package.

Seeing this, Ye Feiyang also got out of the carriage to help, approached Li Xiao, but saw him in a daze, Ye Feiyang squatted down and saw Li Xiao's eye circles were red, he asked: "What's wrong? Is something missing?"

Li Xiao nodded, his voice choked with sobs: "I sold all the land at home when I came here. But now the silver is gone, and there are things my mother left for me."

Ye Feiyang was startled, and hurriedly followed Qi Shu who came over and said, Qi Shu frowned, stepped forward and slammed the door again.The people inside probably knew that Xiao Li was going to make trouble, so they didn't open the door. After waiting for a long time, Qi Shu took a step back and kicked heavily, only to hear an ouch from inside, and Qi Shu stepped on the door, condescending Looking at the woman who fell to the ground, it was the one who threw the burden just now.

"Who is so daring to come here to make a fuss! Don't even look at this place!" A middle-aged man with two beards rushed over, followed by a group of people who looked like family servants, and prayed Trees are half-enclosed.

Qi Shu snorted coldly: "Where is this place? I'm going to meet today."

Li Xiao looked at the posture, walked behind Qishu, tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "General Qi, Big Brother Qi, forget it, it's not such a valuable thing, don't ask for it for me."

Ye Feiyang pulled Li Xiao, and comforted him: "It's something your parents left you, of course you have to get it back, with us here, don't worry. Tell me first, what did your mother leave you?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao whispered: "It's just a silver bracelet and a jade hairpin. The bracelet doesn't matter, but the jade hairpin was passed down from the ancestors."

Qi Shu naturally listened to Li Xiao's words, glanced at the woman who just got up from the ground with a jade hairpin stuck in her head, and said immediately: "Is it on that woman's head?" Li Xiaotou Glancing over his shoulder, he hummed a little.

The middle-aged man with two beards saw Li Xiao behind Qi Shu and snorted: "Who am I? And find someone to kick me in."

Qi Shu said in a cold voice: "He wanted to say goodbye to you, but he didn't know that before he entered the door, the baggage was thrown out, and the silver and jewelry inside disappeared. Shopkeeper, return Li Xiao's things. , let's go."

"What do you mean, I'm greedy for his things? Would the head of my dignified Yunxiang Tower be interested in his things?"

Qi Shu was unmoved: "If you are not greedy, others will be greedy." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the woman with the jade hairpin, "The jade hairpin on your head must belong to Xiao Li."

Seeing that she was crowded, the woman immediately puffed her chest out, and started to spit: "What nonsense are you talking about! My man bought it for me. You go and find out. I've been wearing it for several years. Why are you so stupid?" Become that kid!"

Ye Feiyang couldn't help but said: "Xiao Li has worked with you for a year, and you didn't pay him anything. Now that he's leaving, you're going to give back his only silver taels. It's really too much of you. "

"Don't talk nonsense, this is the capital, and everything needs to be based on evidence, saying that we took his things, what about the evidence? I also said that he stole my clothes! He is wearing my clothes! If you continue to make trouble, be careful I'll arrest him and report him to the police!"

When he heard that he was going to report to the official, Li Xiaopi was frightened, his voice was a little high, and he faintly cried: "You gave me this clothes. You said my clothes were too shabby, so you gave me two old clothes. No stealing!"

The two mustaches immediately grabbed the little braid: "Hey, you are so picky, you dare to talk back, go and arrest him, and send him to the Yamen to report to the officials!"

Qi Shu said: "Go and stay in the carriage, I am here."

"Be careful." Ye Feiyang knew the ability of praying for the tree, and after a warning, he pulled Li Xiao to the direction of the carriage and asked the groom to help praying for the tree, while he watched worriedly from afar.

"Little uncle, what's the matter with you?"

Hearing the auspicious voice, Ye Feiyang turned his head, only to see Li Xiaozheng trembling with fright, even his lips turned white, knowing that he was afraid of being arrested and reported to the police, he immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, you won't be arrested Report to the police."

It didn't take long for Qishu to get rid of those servants over there, and took some broken silver and silver bracelets and jade hairpins that the woman handed over tremblingly, and said in a deep voice: "Man is doing it, and the sky is watching. Don't do everything too badly." .”

The two bearded beards watched Qishu leave, and then stopped calling: "Go to Chen's mansion quickly and tell Mr. Chen that Qishu hurt people for no reason."
