When Xu Hongdou heard Lin Na say this, she looked at the two grandmas resting in the distance, and said with a smile: "Are the grandmas, are they mascots?"
"The grandmas are the staff here. In fact, as long as you are busy as a volunteer, you can be free at other times."
Xu Hongdou looked at Lin Na and said, "You said, why do you coax me to volunteer?"
"Uh, I just ask casually." Lin Na said unnaturally.
In fact, Lin Na wanted Xu Hongdou to help, not because she wanted her to do it herself, but because she was commissioned by Xie Xiaochun. She hoped that Xu Hongdou would help and train the staff here.
Seeing that Xu Hongdou had no intention of agreeing, Lin Na couldn't say anything else. She was about to talk about other topics, but she saw that a table of guests outside had disappeared.
"Hongdou, have the guests at this table left?"
Xu Hongdou followed and said, "I've been walking for a while."
Lin Na checked the documents and said, "Oh, I have encountered someone who forgot to pay the bill again. I have to encounter them several times a month."
After hearing this, Xu Hongdou said, "I'll go chase!"
"Where are you chasing?"
"street!"
As he said that, Xu Hongdou hurriedly ran out with the consumption receipt. When the children saw Xu Hongdou running like this, they followed him and chased after him.
In the end, Xu Hongdou caught up with the customer and successfully asked the customer to pay for the meal.
Just as Xu Hongdou was about to go back, he saw a group of children running to him and asked, "What are you chasing me?"
"Sister Hongdou, why are you running so fast? I have never seen anyone running so fast before."
Xie Zhiyao passed by with Ah Mi. He heard that Xu Hongdou was chasing the customer for the sake of Xiaoguan. He was very grateful to Xu Hongdou. After all, although the two or three hundred yuan was not much, it was almost worth the waiter's salary every day. What's more, Xiaoguan's business was not very good, so he had to thank Xu Hongdou for recovering the losses for Xiaoguan.
Xie Zhiyao even felt that Xu Hongdou had been working in a hotel for ten years and was familiar with handling some customers' affairs. He was really a talent in short supply of small restaurants now, and he was even more determined to ask Xu Hongdou to help.
So he said, "You see you've been here for so long, otherwise we'll hold a barbecue party tomorrow, and you've been here for so many days and haven't gotten together with everyone."
"Aren't you not letting loud noises after 8:30, will you not disturb your neighbors?"
"No, you can't argue with me. It's good for you young people to get together."
Xie Xiaoxia came back with the specialties ordered from the Magic City, which made Aunt Baoping very happy.
When Xie Xiaochun saw his younger brother coming back, she didn't say anything and pretended not to know anything.
Aunt Baoping asked her son with concern that she had applied for a job at the wood carving studio in the Magic City, but how is the situation now?
Xie Xiaoxia can only say that she is not suitable and needs to practice her skills more.
Aunt Baoping was very happy about this and said, "That's right, you have only been studying for a few years. From now on, you will study hard with your master and study hard."
Xie Xiaochun said: "You are thinking very well, it may not be certain whether your master will accept you."
"Why don't you accept it? If not, I beg him to go."
Xie Zhiyuan also came back from the town. Not only did he prepare gifts for his brother and grandma, but he also became much more stable in his personality, ensuring that he would study hard in the future.
This statement made Xie Zhiyao and Ah Mi very pleased, and they felt that Ah Yuan had really grown up.
After Lin Na returned to the courtyard in the afternoon, she announced loudly: "I will announce something. Mr. Xie said that everyone has been here for so long and has not been together well, so we will hold a barbecue party here tomorrow, and everyone is coming."
"Is that right? That's no problem, I'll definitely come." Damai agreed happily. She now figured it out that she couldn't always hide from others, but should contact people more to have more inspiration to create.
Mr. Ma also nodded, saying that he would definitely be there at that time.
After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng looked at Xu Hongdou and knew that Xie Zhiyao would definitely not hold a barbecue party for no reason. In fact, when Xu Hongdou came back, he had already mentioned the party and also said that Lin Na wanted her to volunteer at a small restaurant. Zhao Shucheng guessed that it must be Xie Zhiyao's idea.
The next day, at night.
There was a barbecue party held in Youfeng Xiaoyuan, and everyone was busy preparing what they wanted to use for a while.
Hu Youyu came back early this day and got together with everyone.
The barbecue grill in the courtyard has been set up. It was borrowed by Xie Zhiyao from Yang Guanjun, or the barbecue grill that Yang Guanjun had before. However, it has been replaced by a larger one, so this small one is useless to keep.
At first, Xie Zhiyao was responsible for baking the barbecue, but Zhao Shucheng looked at it for a while and felt that his speed was too slow and the sprinkling was not even, so he went directly to help bake it. Instead, Xie Zhiyao could only become a deputy.
Some of the others were responsible for the conversation, some began to prepare other things, and the courtyard became lively in a while.
Lin Na looked at Zhao Shucheng's movements and asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, I think your skills are more skilled than Yang Guanjun in the village. You have set up a barbecue stall before, right?"
"That's not. I just eat too much and make too much, so I will naturally become proficient."
Mr. Ma said, "This is how you work."
After a while, the barbecue was ready, and everyone started to eat while drinking and chatting. Under the stimulation of alcohol, everyone gradually relaxed and talked more than before.
At the beginning, everyone just talked about the past casually, with good things and embarrassing things. They encouraged Xie Zhiyuan to look forward bravely and not to care about pulling his pants.
The sky was bright and the stars were shining. Everyone had smiles on their faces. They sat in the yard and spoke freely. Even Xu Hongdou and Damai, who were not very willing to talk to others, were involved and opened their hearts completely.
Xie Xiaochun was already a little drunk, so he looked at A Yuan and said, "A Yuan, do you know that your sister Xiaochun was born by your brother?"
"I know, Aunt Baoping nagged every day, and the whole country knew about it."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hu Youyu said: "The whole country knows it, why don't we know it?"
Xie Xiaochun said: "You don't know that your family was poor at that time and could not afford the tuition. My mother borrowed money from house to house. I thought I wouldn't go to school and go out to work early to make money. Because I have me and my brother at home, no matter how studying and eating, I have to rely on my mother alone. I think she has a lot of hard work."
"Later, my mother called Brother A Yao. He came back from the capital and asked me to tell me about going to school. He said that he didn't read the books in vain, and knowledge was a bridge to the world. Later, he said he wanted to fund me. The four years of tuition and living expenses for college were all given by my elder brother..."
As Xie Xiaochun spoke, his eyes began to turn crystallized, and everyone looked at Xie Zhiyao with admiration.
In fact, it is not easy for Xie Zhiyao to do this, because when Xie Xiaochun was in college, Xie Zhiyao was just a student who had just graduated from college and even had to study for graduate school. Even if he went out to work and earned money, it would not be much higher, not to mention that he could only work and study half a day.
In fact, although he and Xie Xiaoxia are siblings, they are not brothers and sisters. They are not considered relatives. The blood relationship has already been five times, and others don’t care at all. Xie Zhiyao still resolutely shouldered the burden because he knew very well that only studying can lead to a way out, otherwise Xie Xiaochun would have to give up his studies and become an ordinary worker.
Xie Zhiyao was a little embarrassed by everyone's reading, and said, "No, don't look at me like this, I'm embarrassed. Actually, I just thought Xiaochun was good at studying. After studying for so many years, she was about to be able to go to college. It would be a pity to give up like this."
Lin Na said: "Mr. Xie is such a person. If you say he scolds him in person, he will be rough and thick-skinned and have nothing to do, but if you want to praise him in person, it is better to scold him. I am going to set up a global fan club for Mr. Xie and I will be the president."
Xie Xiaochun raised his hand and said, "Then I will be the vice president."
Zhao Shucheng asked, "So that's why Lao Xie came back to start a business and Xiaochun also came back?"
"Well, there are reasons for this. At that time, my elder brother said that there is a great risk of starting a business, and it is very likely that he can't even pay his salary. But I said I don't care, just take care of the food. In fact, my elder brother has not been easy for many years. At the beginning, he opened a horse farm. For the sanitation environment in the village, everyone puts the horses in the horse farm. Later, this homestay could not be opened, so he took over the courtyard. There were also small restaurants, outlets, tie-dyeing workshops, etc. He invested all the money he had earned in the capital before, and he also borrowed a lot of money. I couldn't help, so I could only do something within my ability."
Xie Zhiyao said, "Xiaochun, why do you say this? Didn't I say that this is all necessary investment in the early stage and will be earned back in the future. Besides, I will find a way to make money. Is it still harder now than when I first came back? We had nothing at that time, so we gritted our teeth and persevered. Now everything is developing in a good direction. At least our online store has begun to make profits and the small restaurant is getting better and better."
Everyone saw that Xie Xiaochun was not in a good mood and decided not to talk about this topic anymore.
Nana cleared her throat and said, "By the way, let's talk about why we came to Yunmiao Village. It starts with Hongdou. She has been here recently."
Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Me?"
Seeing everyone looking at me, hesitated and said, "Actually, the current manager of a five-star hotel in Beijing was busy every day. The more everyone was on holiday, the more we were on holidays, the more we were busy. Later, because of some things, I felt that I was just like the clock gear in the front hall of our hotel, and my youth and passion were slightly worn out, and I might get seriously worn out one day. Maybe I can't work hard for the boss and become parts that can be discarded at will. Then I decided to quit and find a place where no one knew, and I didn't think about anything or do anything, just take a good vacation for myself."
