The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Besides Pingyang City TV, people also saw reports about Lin Xi on other TV stations and newspapers, and it turns out that she is also a child prodigy.

Not only did he skip two grades, but he also just won first place in the provincial math Olympiad. He is also very good at English and has even defeated foreign contestants before.

He also participated in essay and calligraphy competitions, winning first place in both.

She is now studying junior high school courses on her own, and her study notes are regarded as a study bible by the entire school.

In just one night, Lin Xi's name spread rapidly throughout Pingyang City.

The next day, a large number of customers flooded into Lin's Spicy Hot Pot, leaving Lin Guiying and the others stunned, almost thinking they were there to cause trouble.

Because there were so many people, they knocked down a door.

Finally, they realized that their own child had been on TV again, but unfortunately, none of them saw it.

They can only listen to the customers' descriptions.

Principal Su Yushan's phone was ringing off the hook with calls from people asking if they could borrow Lin Xi's notes.

Su Yushan naturally refused outright. He was joking; without Yang Qingning's approval, no one else could get a word in edgewise.

Finally, I just turned the phone off.

The elderly couple, Fu Wenyuan and his wife, also saw the report and happily drank two cups of wine.

However, by the end of the morning, Lin's Malatang had run out of both vegetables and noodles, because many customers had driven a long way to get there.

Lin Dayuan couldn't bear it, so he served them several bowls of soup.

The customers left satisfied; the mala tang was really delicious, and they would bring their families next time.

The Lin family members closed their shop and went home early, which was unusual for them.

At this moment, sitting at the table, Lin Guiying said, "Why don't we listen to Xiaoxi and hire someone? I'm so tired of washing dishes that sparks fly."

Lin Dayuan nodded, "Yeah, I think there will be more and more people. I'm so tired these past two days that I can barely lift my arms."

Lin Guojun raised both hands in agreement, "My shoes are almost worn through. I walk several miles a day. I'm not even this tired from collecting scraps."

The next day, Lin Guiying posted the job advertisement.

I thought it would be easy to recruit people, but for several days in a row, no one came to apply.

Even Liu Erli, who has always worked like an ox, is almost unable to keep up. There are just too many people, and they can't keep up at all.

I'm never idle from morning till night, and once I get home, I don't want to do anything but lie down.

Lin Dayuan had already raised his salary to three thousand, fearing that his only employee would run away.

Actually, some people wanted to apply, but when they saw how popular the store was, they thought it must be very tiring, so they backed out.

This caused the Lin family members to complain every day, regretting why they hadn't listened to Xiao Xi and hired people earlier.

Lin Xi felt sorry for her family, so she asked Fu Wenyuan for leave over the weekend to help them.

With Lin Xi joining the family that day, the work became much more organized.

Some people even recognized Lin Xi and asked her for an autograph.

Some customers even called their friends on the spot, saying, "Hurry up! The shop owner is here!"

The person who spoke so loudly was heard by everyone.

Regular customers rushed over when they heard the shop owner was there, and just when things were starting to ease up, another large crowd surged in.

Lin Guiying sighed helplessly, "Xiao Xi, I don't need your help anymore."

The restaurant was a chaotic mess; people without seats squatted in the aisle to eat.

The others followed suit, blocking the aisle completely. Some people, finding it too crowded, simply squatted outside to eat.

When Yan Feng and his group arrived, this was the scene they saw, and they were quite shocked.

Is business so booming? Will they even be able to get a table?

When Lin Xi saw them, her eyes lit up instantly. "Brother Yan Feng, come here!"

She called the group to the kitchen and had her father secretly stuff some food into their bowls.

Yan Feng, Zhao Yang, and Wu Zheng were deeply moved. They thought Lin Xiren was a good person and someone they could get along with.

Mala Tang is delicious too. I've been smelling it for so long, and I can finally eat it.

After they finished eating, they realized that the extra bowls of spicy hot pot weren't actually that tasty.

As soon as he put down his bowl, Lin Xi pulled him to work and he became a temporary worker.

By 6 p.m., all the vegetables were sold out. The group slumped into their chairs, their stomachs growling; they were hungry again…

Zhao Yang couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xi, why don't you hire a few workers? Business is so good, hiring people won't lose you money, right?"

Lin Guiying sighed, "Didn't you see the job postings on the door? It's been several days, and no one has come."

Wu Zheng and Yan Feng exchanged a glance, whispered a few words, and then said, "I have a colleague who is looking for a job. He's a good guy, from the countryside, honest and hardworking, but he was slashed on the face by thugs, and the scar... the scar is quite noticeable."

Lin Xi immediately responded, "Okay, okay, that's great! Can he come tomorrow? He won't mind if he doesn't like it here!"

After all, he used to be a policeman, but now he has to work as a waiter in a small shop.

"How could he look down on him? To be honest, he looked for many jobs, but no one wanted him because his face was badly injured and looked quite scary."

“We’re not afraid. Just let him come. He’ll make three thousand a month.”

Wu Zhengteng jumped up, "So high?"

At this time of year, the average salary is only a little over a thousand, so three thousand is considered a high salary.

"It's alright, but it's just too tiring. We'd feel bad if we didn't give you enough. You've all experienced it; this money isn't so easy to earn."

Zhao Yang nodded. "That's true."

Lin Guiying breathed a sigh of relief. "My old bones really can't take it anymore. Tell him to come early tomorrow."

The next morning, as soon as the Lin family opened the door, Wu Zheng and Yan Feng brought in a young man.

"Auntie, he is the Tian Lei I told you about yesterday."

Lin Guiying looked up at the young man's face, and Tian Lei lowered his head in embarrassment.

He didn't want to come in the first place. He heard that the store was very popular, and he thought that his face would affect the business. How could the boss possibly hire him?

But Wu Zheng and Yan Feng insisted on dragging him along, saying that this family was different.

"Young man, three thousand a month, one meal provided, but the meal times are not fixed, you can eat whenever you're free, is that okay?"

Tian Lei was stunned. This... this means...

Yan Feng retorted and answered for him, "Okay, okay, why not?"

Tian Lei finally realized what was happening and nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, Auntie, don't worry, I'm strong and I'm not afraid of hardship. I promise I'll do a good job."

"Let's start today. You can help me wash the vegetables first."

He then turned to Yan Feng and the other man, saying, "If you two can help, I'll cook two bowls of spicy hot pot for each of you."

The two nodded in unison, "Okay."

Upon entering the kitchen, Tian Lei discovered that the whole family was there. The adorable little girl, upon seeing his face, showed no sign of surprise or fear; instead, she smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work from now on!"

The kind old man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you're quite strong, not bad."

There was also a middle-aged man simmering soup. He was tall and upright with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. "Tian Lei, right? We don't have any rules here. We just have a lot of customers. Just make sure you don't get tired."

"Not at all, not at all."

Yan Feng and Wu Zheng were right; this family was indeed somewhat different.
