"Branch? Although Taihe Building is second to none now, if we open another one, it may not be as prosperous, right? And my father also said that everything should not be too much. It is good for everyone to be harmonious and make money." Zhao Zian said while thinking, he thought Xu Lingyuan asked him to open another one in the city.
"I didn't mean here, does your bodyguard bureau pick up bodyguards everywhere?" Xu Lingyuan said unhurriedly.
"Of course, can I still choose at will?" Although Zhao Zian didn't know what he wanted to say for a while, he still answered patiently.
"Then how do the bodyguards settle for board and lodging?" Xu Lingyuan didn't pay much attention to him, but continued to ask.
"Of course there are hotels and restaurants along the way. I thought you knew everything, but even this..." Zhao Zian wanted to ridicule him, but he stopped suddenly as he spoke, and then seemed to understand his intention, and tried Asked, "Do you mean to open a branch in other places?"
"Well." After Xu Lingyuan affirmed his words, he didn't say much, but was waiting for him to speak. After all, he probably didn't know as much about the things here as they did.
"It sounds good, but there are mostly local people in the restaurant, and some people may not be willing to go to other places, and restaurants and restaurants need a lot of manpower, how can they be recruited?" Although Zhao Zian was very interested, he was still a little embarrassed say.
"The most important of these are the cook and the shopkeeper, right? You can recruit some people according to the requirements first, sign the relevant contract and then train them. As long as the salary is good, there should be no problem, and the rest can be hired locally. Actually Yes, you can also put forward corresponding conditions, and then let the local people open it, just like joining a group." Xu Lingyuan answered seriously, but because he didn't know much about these, he added a sentence cautiously: "As for How to do it, I think your father and brother Ling must be clearer than me."
"What you said is very reasonable. In this way, it will not only be convenient for the escorts passing by, but also spread the restaurant's dishes and learn from the dishes of other places. It can be said to be famous and profitable." Zhao Zian suddenly Some excitedly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell my father and the others when I go back."
Seeing what he said, Xu Lingyuan didn't want to say anything more. After all, it was not something he could decide.
"Do you need someone to accompany you when you sleep?" Taking advantage of the momentary silence, Zhao Zian suddenly stared at the tidy bed in the room and asked, with an expression of disbelief.
"This is Siyuan's room. We live together temporarily, can't we?" Xu Lingyuan followed his gaze and explained to him that it was because there were two pillows side by side on the bed.
"You brothers really have a good relationship. I haven't lived with my elder brother and them since I was a child." After Zhao Zian said this calmly, he looked at Xu Siyuan who had been listening to them, and then pointed at him. Unexplainedly said: "I thought...too early could easily hurt the body."
"..." Matching his expression, how could Xu Lingyuan not understand what he meant, but he didn't know how to answer him, especially with Xu Siyuan present, so he could only pretend to be confused while looking at him while thinking How to change the subject.
Even so, Xu Lingyuan's heart was not so peaceful when he suddenly encountered this topic.I don't know if it's because I'm getting more and more used to being a child, or if this frail and sickly body is developing too slowly, in short, he doesn't have much thought about that kind of thing now.
It's okay if it's just like this, but he finds that he has no interest in the opposite sex at all.Although in the previous life, he didn't have a particularly favorite opposite sex, he just thought that one day he would meet someone he liked, and then get married and have children, but before that, no matter how much he thought about it, it would be futile.
Even if you become a child without amnesia, it's impossible to become so thorough, right?How can I say that I am also an adult, but I have no idea at all, which is somewhat strange.Is it the rejection of the people here?But Mingming and Aqi get along very well, and he has basically accepted the life here, so it's impossible that he can't accept the opposite sex here, right?Maybe it's still affected by this body, but I hope it will get better in the future.
Thinking about these messy things in my heart, even if I look calm on the surface, I always feel a little absent-minded when talking.Fortunately, knowing that his health was not good, and seeing his lack of energy, Zhao Zian ignored the Xu family's persuasion and left by car.
"Is elder brother bothered by his words? If sleeping together will hurt your health, then elder brother can move back and don't worry about me." After sending Zhao Zian away, Xu Siyuan looked at him for a while and found that he was still a little nervous. Sullen, he made up his mind and said.
"Don't pay attention to what he said, he's just jealous of us. I'm just a little tired, just take a rest. I can change the stove every night by telling a story, so I don't want to move out." After cheering up and speaking to Xu Siyuan , he really wanted to take a rest.
No matter what, life still has to go on day by day.The new year is over in a blink of an eye. After spending the quiet first day of junior high school, I started to visit relatives and friends and pay New Year's greetings everywhere.It's just that for Xu Lingyuan, especially after getting into trouble with his uncle and the others, this kind of excitement is really not easy to join.
Go, I know that people don't want to see me, and I'm just asking for trouble if I go, but don't go, it's a bit unreasonable to Xu's father and Xu's mother, and it's easy to make those people talk.
"Your aunt and the others are just talking about it. If you don't go with an excuse, you will look petty. Besides, the focus of New Year's greetings is a reunion. If everyone gets together in a friendly manner, all grievances will be gone. Outside It's still snowing, and the roads are probably blocked, so there's no need to be in a hurry." After hearing what Xu Lingyuan wanted to go back, Mother Xu gently persuaded her.
Seeing what she said, Xu Lingyuan had no choice but to agree.I thought that I didn't offend them. When the original owner went there every year, he just showed his face and acted as a foil. They couldn't shut themselves out in front of Xu's father, could they?When the time comes, I will just go to a restaurant and have a meal.
The first family went to the uncle's place. When they arrived, except for the fourth uncle's family, the rest of the people had already arrived, and they all came out with smiling faces.The scene was not as bad as he had imagined, they just used their excessive enthusiasm for Xu Siyuan to express their ignorance of him.
"Why are you here so late? Your brothers have been looking forward to you for a long time, and they have prepared good things for you. Go over and have a look." The aunt pulled Xu Siyuan and said affectionately, "The aunt knows that you study hard on weekdays. But I have cooked a lot of dishes that you like."
"Tsk tsk, look at how biased sister-in-law is, let alone us, even your own son will feel sad." The second aunt said quickly to her.
"Aren't I happy to see Siyuan?" said the aunt nonchalantly.
"That's right. A well-educated child like him is naturally loved by everyone. Those monkey cubs in our family can't be exchanged for such a one." The second aunt said while pulling Xu Siyuan over. Hold him and look carefully.
"Just be content, if you get someone who doesn't know what's good or bad in exchange, you can just cry." The aunt said coldly.
"It's the first lunar month, what are you talking about, you don't think it's bad luck." The second aunt replied with a smile.
"I didn't bring myself to invite this, and it doesn't mean that I can prevent it. If I get it, there is nothing I can do. I just go to the temple to burn incense another day." The aunt said with a sneer.
"..."
What they talked about was lively, and Xu Lingyuan watched it very lively, as if they had nothing to do with him. He didn't care if they were gnashing their teeth with hatred in the dark, and they didn't eat a single bite when it was time to eat, and their appetite seemed to be surprising. good.
In addition to eating and drinking, the most exciting part of New Year's greetings is the red envelope, which is usually given when the guests are sent out, and both parties naturally have to be polite when receiving it.
Because no one paid attention to him, Xu Lingyuan even took the trouble to think about it. If he received a red envelope later, should he want it or not?He didn't believe that in front of Xu's father, his uncle would lose his share.
But the facts were finally placed before his eyes, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
When everyone went out to go back, the uncle came out with a stack of red envelopes, and after giving them one by one, he really didn't have any.He didn't care too much at first, but when the other children looked at him gloatingly, for some reason, he suddenly walked up to his uncle and pretended to be wronged and said, "Uncle, why did you forget me?" ?”
Since the red envelopes are prepared in advance, there is naturally no extra, and his voice is relatively loud, at least everyone present heard it. When they looked over, the empty-handed uncle was embarrassed under Xu Lingyuan's gaze. I really don't know what to say, especially when I see Father Xu is also waiting for his explanation.
"My good nephew, don't be so mean to us here. We have been busy for a year, and it is estimated that we have not earned as much as your pocket money. How can there be such a small amount of pocket money? We will not give it to you. We are stingy." Seeing that the uncle was speechless for a while, the aunt came over and said with a smile.
"Aren't the red envelopes for the new year? I also want to ask for one to go back to keep safe. If you feel sorry for the money, you can give me an empty one." Xu Lingyuan said with a look of disappointment, but he thought in his heart, you just said that it was a mistake It's nothing, since you can't think about it so much, then you can't blame me.
"You..." The aunt's face was ashen when he blocked her, but she still spoke a little badly.
"Ling Yuan, get in the car quickly, who taught you to talk to elders like this!" Xu's father suddenly interrupted what the aunt was about to say, and said to Xu Lingyuan sternly, but then said to the uncle and the others: "It's my usual Don't be angry, sister-in-law, for neglecting discipline."
"What does this have to do with you? Why is Siyuan not like him..." After hearing what Father Xu said, the aunt not only didn't know how to restrain herself, but became even more careless.
"But I have only two sons, and I will naturally teach them the family affairs in the future. I am quite relieved that Ling Yuan can have those thoughts. Besides, the fourth brother is not an outsider." Father Xu interrupted her again He said, "If you feel wronged here, I will still say what I said to my little sister at the beginning. As long as you have a better place to go, I will definitely not stop you. If you are still willing to stay and help me It’s okay to teach them more, and there shouldn’t be any favoritism.”
After finishing speaking, regardless of their reactions, he motioned to Xu's mother and the others to get in the car, and then went back.
After returning home, Xu Lingyuan was called into the study by him. At first, he thought he would be reprimanded, but he didn't expect that Xu's father was still very open-minded. Instead, he encouraged him, which made Xu Lingyuan feel a little unreal.
The conversation between the father and son had just ended, and Xu Lingyuan hadn't left yet, when someone outside suddenly handed in a letter or something.Seeing Xu's father busy dismantling it, Xu Lingyuan planned to go out first, but was stopped by Xu's father again: "Do you brothers have any relationship with the Zhao family?"
Xu Lingyuan was taken aback by the question, thought for a while and said, "I have some contacts with Zhao Zian."
"I know that. Is there anything else?" Father Xu asked.
"I have nothing to do, so I told them some recipes from the book, and Brother Zhao also paid me for it." Xu Lingyuan confessed frankly, not knowing what exactly Father Xu read.
"...That's it. I said why did the Zhao family want me to bring your brothers with me when I went to visit." Father Xu was a little complicated when he heard that he still had such a source of income, but he didn't ask any more questions in the end. Then let him go out.
