Chapter 221
After breakfast, Zhong Ruyi went to the restaurant to help.
Even if Sun Tao and Jiang Qin, mother and son, were diligent, they could not handle the work with just two hands each. She would go there when she was free, and Zhong's mother and second brother would also come to help after closing the shop at noon.
But this is not a solution. I still have to recruit people. Also, accountant Meng will be going back to Manxianglou the day after tomorrow, and I haven’t found a suitable candidate for accountant yet.
She was washing vegetables in the yard when accountant Meng suddenly came in.
Zhong Ruyi thought he had something to say, but Accountant Meng talked for a long time but didn't get to the point.
After talking until his mouth was dry, Zhong Ruyi handed him a piece of watermelon and said, "Uncle Meng, just tell me what you want to say."
I don’t see him talking so much on normal days, why is he so abnormal today?
Accountant Meng held the watermelon and smiled bitterly, "Didn't you say you wanted to recruit people a few days ago?"
Zhong Ruyi's eyes lit up, "What's wrong? Uncle Meng, do you want to stay?"
That’s great, I don’t have to go look for someone myself.
Accountant Meng shook his head. "Not me. I want to ask you, have you found a candidate for the accountant? If not, I want to shamelessly recommend someone."
I thought he wanted to stay, but I didn't expect it was the recommender who came.
Zhong Ruyi thought it was okay, having it was better than having nothing.
She nodded and motioned for Accountant Meng to continue.
"It's like this. My wife's brother has not gone out to look for a job this year. I didn't think of recommending him to come here, but he was unwilling to continue to take the exam for the scholar. He just said that he didn't have enough knowledge and would never be a scholar in this life. He sighed at home all day long. My wife always looked worried when she came home. I just remembered that you said you wanted to recruit someone. Don't worry, although he can't pass the exam for the scholar, he can still do accounting. After all, he is also a student."
After saying this, Accountant Meng lowered his head nervously, feeling very shameless for making such a shameless request just by relying on his friendship with Ruyi.
Zhong Ruyi thought it was nothing. Tongsheng should be equivalent to modern college students, right? Xiucai should be graduate students.
It seems that Accountant Meng’s brother-in-law must have failed the postgraduate entrance examination.
It would be the best thing for her if Tongsheng could be her accountant.
"Uncle Meng, then you can ask your brother-in-law to come for an interview tomorrow. The probation period is three days, and he can stay after passing it." Zhong Ruyi said.
Accountant Meng didn't expect that she agreed so readily. He was so excited that he kept saying yes.
With this joy, the watermelon in my hand became even sweeter.
The next day, Accountant Meng's brother-in-law came early. Accountant Meng asked him to dress smartly and shave his beard. Since it would not affect his examination for the title of scholar, he should work hard. He could not do nothing all day.
When Zhong Ruyi came back from the convenience store, she saw Accountant Meng talking to a young man in a robe.
Seeing her coming, Accountant Meng quickly brought people to greet her.
"Boss Zhong, this is my wife's brother. His name is Xie Hai. You can just call him Xiao Xie."
When there were people around, Accountant Meng would always call Zhong Ruyi "boss", unless there were only a few familiar people present, he would call out his name once or twice.
Xie Hai bent slightly and bowed to Zhong Ruyi, looking like a scholar, very elegant, and he looked to be about twenty-two or twenty-three years old.
Zhong Ruyi waved her hand and said, "Uncle Meng, let him follow you for the next two days. If he does anything wrong, you must point it out to him. Don't let him off just because you two are relatives. Otherwise, I will be in trouble when you return."
Accountant Meng nodded solemnly, "Yes, Boss Zhong, I will definitely teach him well."
A meal was provided at noon, so Xie Hai ate with his brother-in-law in the store. He was reluctant at first, but there was nothing that couldn't be solved with a meal.
At the end of the day, he not only worked with accountant Meng to reconcile all the accounts for this month, but also became familiar with Jiang Qin and Sun Tao, calling them Aunt Sun and Xiao Qin all the time.
Zhong Ruyi paid attention to them for two days and felt relieved to see that they had a good relationship.
The most important thing in a group is that everyone gets along well with each other. Don't be too upset if one of them does something sneaky.
On the third day, Accountant Meng had to go back to Manxianglou. Originally, Xie Hai was still in the third day of his probation period. Zhong Ruyi observed that he was very serious and careful in his work, so she made him a regular employee.
Xie Hai was extremely happy. Here he could get a free lunch every day and earn 150 taels a month.
The most important thing is the dishes in the store. Their employees all have employee discounts. The price of a dish that originally cost 66 cents can be reduced to 58 cents with the discount. It is simply delicious.
There was also a watermelon that cost a hundred cents outside, but only eighty cents in the store. Xie Hai felt that his brother-in-law was really his lucky star!
Yu Mansion.
Zhou Yuyan was holding her waist, with her husband Yu Huaijin, who only had two days off in a month, beside her.
Yu Huaijin gnashed his teeth in anger, "I've been at the academy for so many days, and this kid has spent the whole day completing the homework assigned by the teacher without even thinking about reviewing it. If he had put in more effort, he wouldn't have been so hesitant and unable to answer a single sentence when I tested his homework today!"
He spoke angrily, but the hand he held on his wife was steady.
Zhou Yuyan patted his hand that was supporting her and said softly, "If you are worried, ask the teacher to discipline him more strictly, so that he won't go out and play all day long."
When it comes to asking the teacher to discipline strictly, Yu Huaijin suddenly loses his temper.
Seeing him like that, Zhou Yuyan knew that he was reluctant and laughed secretly.
He also said that she and her mother-in-law spoiled the child, but in fact he was no worse.
Let’s not talk about this anymore. Yu Huaijin changed the topic to what was in her belly.
"Yan'er, you suffered so much during your pregnancy, but I couldn't always be by your side." He looked guilty.
Zhou Yuyan didn't feel it was hard. Everything was fine at home. Her parents-in-law were kind to her. Although her husband couldn't be by her side all the time, he still doted on her.
Although the old woman would often find fault with her, she could not endure any grievances because she had her father-in-law and mother-in-law to protect her.
She really doesn't feel tired.
If she were still in Yangliu Village, she couldn't imagine how her life would be like in the future?
What would her life be like if she had been sold to another family by her parents?
Yu Huaijin helped his wife back to the room, took off her shoes and socks, and gently massaged her.
"The doctor said that your pregnancy looks good. Although it's twins, we have already hired several skilled midwives in our mansion."
Zhou Yuyan leaned on the pillow, listening to her husband chattering, and touched her belly with a slight smile.
Just then, a sweet female voice sounded outside the door, "Master, the old lady asked me to send something over."
Zhou Yuyan's expression suddenly turned cold, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
She closed her eyes as if she was about to fall asleep, leaning quietly on the pillow.
Yu Huaijin frowned and let the female voice outside the room continue speaking.
"Master, the old lady is worried about the hot weather and that you and the young lady might get a heat stroke, so she asked me to bring some watermelons over to cool you down."
