Axiu poured a bowl of sour plum soup for each of them, and then she also took an umbrella into the sun and went to the store to watch.

Xiaosan fidgeted awkwardly: "Brother, what did you ask me to do?"

Wei Ziqing went to the table and took out a bag of copper coins: "On the construction site, your brothers are there to support you. You can't work for nothing. You still have a few children to support."

Xiaosan pushed the money away with a serious face.

"There's not much life over there, and the work is almost finished. The three of us are fast, and we can finish it in a few days. Don't worry about our family, even the salary of Xiaosi is enough to support us, let alone we still have money saved. Well, enough."

The three brothers, the eldest, the second and the third, are working on the construction site, one of them is worth two. No matter how good others are, it is impossible for them to work as hard as they do. They are working as hard as they are building their own house. Several times he saw that no one came When I picked up Xiaosi to drop off, I saw only a few children in the house screaming with hunger, so I realized that they were still working at night.

Feeling distressed and angry at the same time, the elder brother of the brothers is only 23 or four, and the third is only in his teens. If he collapses from exhaustion, he will really become a sinner.

"Didn't Aunt Hua call a few people to help? Why are you the only ones doing it? Could it be that they are being lazy?"

Xiao San hurriedly shook her head: "Brother asked them to leave, Brother Qing, if you hire more people, you will have to pay more. There is not much work left, let's hurry up, and it will be over soon."

Wei Ziqing stuffed the money into his hand and frowned: "I'm taking the job again. Didn't I mention you last time? Do you have to make me angry? It's hot today, no one is allowed to go!"

Xiaosan also wanted to say that they are used to doing things and nothing will happen, Wei Ziqing didn't give him a chance to say: "If you are not obedient, then I have no choice but to follow you to do it together!"

Xiao San glanced at Wei Ziqing's small body like a chicken, and scratched his head, his thighs were not as thick as his arms, what could he do?Moving a rock would probably break his arm, so he nodded in agreement.

As for the money...

Seeing that he still wanted to throw the money back, Wei Ziqing gave a threatening look, and the child was so frightened that he pretended obediently.

Wei Ziqing's wages were indeed not too much, only a few copper coins more than the average workers, but the work the three brothers did was far more than that. Don't be generous.

The main reason is that he still has an idea. Although he planned the shelter, he obviously can't take care of it himself. This involves the issue of hiring people.

Hiring a teacher naturally has to search hard, but in addition to the teacher who teaches, he thinks that there should be a teacher who manages life, otherwise a group of children will not be able to establish rules and they will not be crazy?

The brothers of Xiaosi’s family couldn’t be more suitable for him. What the boss does is actually a small shelter. A young boy can form a big family of seven orphans by himself, which is enough to prove that he is capable of taking care of them. Children, perhaps even better than real teachers understand the state of mind of orphans.

The second child doesn't have much contact with him, but it is said that he is also an honest and honest person; the third child is strong, helping with some chores in the yard, and it is also suitable for scaring a few naughty children; as for the twins and the eccentric Xiaoqi, the first batch of students to enter the school, is simply the first batch of students. The three children are quite obedient, so they don't ask them to help manage others, as long as they can take the lead.

Xiao Si is the initiator of this shelter. He can write, count and read. It is not a problem to arrange a job, but Wei Ziqing has no such plan.

After all, in the Tong's Examination three years later, he was still counting on Xiaosi to be a blockbuster, and a student coming back from the exam would also make him a teacher with some pride.

Liu Xiucai did not know where he got the letter that Wei Ziqing was looking for a teacher, so he came to "He Shui" early in the morning.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked around, seeming a little disappointed.

Axiu watched from the side, and shook her head tsk tsk.

Seeing that Liu Xiucai did not see the person he wanted to meet, he went to find Axiu.

"Aren't you recruiting teachers? I'm here to apply."

Axiu was stunned: "We are recruiting teachers for shelters, you have to see clearly, we are teaching poor beggars who have no father or mother."

Wei Ziqing was not there, and Liu Xiucai was not very interested, but he still answered honestly: "The notice at the door is very clear, I know it all."

"We can't afford to pay Teacher Xiucai..."

Generally, young scholars will not become teachers. Only those who are old and have no hope of fame will choose to teach. Therefore, it often happens that teachers with gray hair may actually be just students, so scholars are in other places. That's a high salary rush to hire.

Liu Xiucai shook his head: "It's fine if you don't need money, just do a good deed."

Ah Xiucai didn't believe his nonsense, any fool would know what the ulterior motives are.

"Then you go back first, we will discuss it and write to you."

It is self-evident who this "we" refers to. Liu Xiucai's eyes lit up instantly: "Brother Qing is here too? Where is it? The backyard?"

As he spoke, he was about to go to the back room, but he didn't recognize the direction he was going was the kitchen. Axiu hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, frowning in displeasure: "Brother Qing, is that your name? He's not here, you go back and wait." Believe me."

Liu Xiucai saw that people around him were watching him, so he bowed his head in embarrassment and left the shop in a hurry.

In fact, Axiu was quite optimistic about this young master Liu, he was infatuated, rich and talented, but, this gentleman has rejected him many times, and still stalks him like this, Axiu just doesn't understand those big principles , I also know that men are called worthless, how do you say that sentence——

"Sooner or later, I will die in the belly of the gentleman."

After returning home, I told Brother Qing about this matter. I thought Wei Ziqing would definitely refuse, but he hesitated.

"The notice has been posted for three or four days, and no teacher has come to the door—"

"Then you can't use him? How ruthless you have rejected him, and he still dares to come to your door. If you accept his favor, he will not be so courteous to the sky?"

"Sigh." Wei Ziqing never imagined that it would be so difficult to hire a teacher. Since a scholar can put up face to be a teacher, either he is really a master, or he is too poor to do anything. Teachers won't take a fancy to their shelters.

But what Axiu said was right, Liu Xiucai came here for him, if he took advantage of the opportunity, he would not be able to tell in the future.

Wei Ziqing gritted his teeth: "At first, I wanted to take the opportunity to find a good teacher, so that Xiao Si could learn some skills for taking the exam. Now it seems that I have to do it myself."

The weather has been hot for the past few days, and he was very tired. He felt dizzy after standing under the sun for a long time, so he didn't plan to do it himself. He wasn't great enough to burn himself.But now it seems that he has to stand up for a while, and fortunately, it won't be hot for a few days, so he should be able to hold on.

Axiu pretended to be unhappy and snorted: "Is this Xiao Si your own brother? You always think about him, hmph!"

Seeing A Xiu like this, Wei Ziqing knew that he was joking, but he must have felt a little sore in his heart. At this moment, A Xiu is his benefactor, so he deserves to be complimented.

"Who said, he is my student, after a generation, my younger brother is naturally my good—"

Wei Ziqing deliberately elongated his voice, but didn't say anything.

Axiu knew that Wei Ziqing was teasing him, but she couldn't help but asked, "Say it quickly."

"Of course it's Chunzhi! Chunzhi's baby is almost full moon, Axiu, what do you think we should give as a gift? Shall I put a longevity lock on it? It's beautiful and expensive..."

Axiu's face was getting darker and darker, her mouth was pouted to the sky, Brother Shouqing knew to make him angry, and then he rolled his eyes, thinking of something, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Wei Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition surfaced, and sure enough——

"Pinch your lock with mud, I won't give you money anyway, hum."

After finishing speaking, she turned around arrogantly and left, and when she heard the wailing of the people behind her, she covered her mouth and started laughing.

Liu Xiucai couldn't wait to come to "Heshui" the next day, and Axiu directly informed him of the decision discussed yesterday. As expected, Liu Xiucai looked shocked.

"This, Brother Qing said it himself?"

Axiu gave him a sympathetic look: "Yes, brother Qing said you should concentrate on preparing for the exam, our small place doesn't need a Buddha as big as you."

"Does he hate me that much?"

Liu Xiucai muttered to himself, didn't intend to listen to Axiu's answer, and left the store in a daze.

Axiu also breathed a sigh of relief, now that Liu Xiucai would never come again, she must have completely given up.

The shelter has been completely completed, everything is ready, and the listing is open.

Wei Ziqing wanted to use these brothers, so he simply called them all in the afternoon, and talked about how to carry out the specific work.

Except for Xiaosi who was still working in Heshui, all six of them had arrived. In order to prevent them from getting nervous, Wei Ziqing even put some snacks on the table.

However, this might not be the right choice. When the children came, they had obviously been groomed and dressed in clean clothes. Now they are staring at the snacks with eager eyes, and their saliva is almost too much to swallow.

Wei Ziqing hurriedly greeted them to eat, but their eldest brother frowned.

"Little Five Little Six, how did I teach you guys?"

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu withdrew their outstretched hands, Xiaoqi slowed down his stretching, quickly pressed himself, and put on a cute smile: "We are not hungry, we don't eat, Brother Qing, let's talk about something.

Wei Ziqing smiled and touched the cute child's head, and simply called the older brother to the little Ye Zi's room.

"Let them eat... I usually tell you to come to my house for dinner if you don't have nothing to do. If you don't come, it's hard to come here. You can't treat the children badly."

The eldest brother bowed his head: "You are a kind person."

Wei Ziqing shook his head with a smile, and didn't answer the words: "Little Si probably told you guys that the shelter is short of managers, and I plan to let you take the positions of managers."

The eldest brother was stunned for a moment: "Is he really in charge? I thought Xiaosi had made a mistake——Mr. Wei, the few of us don't know a single word. If you don't mind it, we can go in and get a handyman to do it. No way."

"What's wrong? We're not opening an academy, we're not doing business, we're running a shelter, as long as we're down-to-earth, kind-hearted and capable—you don't have to rush to shirk, our salary can't be too high, and we can't invite people from outside. What a good person, I might as well use you, I feel at ease, what do you think?"

Wei Ziqing said that the wages were not high, but the brothers felt at ease. After thinking about it, they did. Although they didn't understand anything, they definitely cared more than anyone else!

Seeing that they seemed to have figured it out, Wei Ziqing went on to say, "Boss—by the way, what are you all called? You can't just be called Boss from now on, right?"

The eldest brother showed an embarrassed look on his face: "We don't know what our surname is, but my second child and I have names. My name is Buffalo, and the second child is Zhuzi. The others were still young when they were picked up, so I don't remember them all. .”

"You have to have a name, Xiaosan, how about I pick one for you?"

Xiao San nodded excitedly: "Thank you, Brother Qing."

"A gentleman should be as blue as jade, so take the word "lan", and you have great strength. There is an old saying: "Pull the mountain to carry the tripod", and take another word for tripod, let's call it Landing."

"Landing, Landing—I have a name!"

Xiaosan excitedly dragged the elder brother and the second brother to show off, and only looked at the two with a little jealousy.

The boss hesitated, and opened his mouth as if he was embarrassed to say: "Mr. Wei, our name is called a joke by others. Can you also find a nice name for us?"

This request is not too much, Wei Ziqing pondered for a while: "Since you are brothers, why don't you both use the word "blue", the word "diligence" suits your temperament best, why not call the eldest brother Lan Qin and the second child Lan Ken."

Seeing their hopeful eyes, Wei Ziqing took the initiative to say, "Little gentlemen, one is named Lan Ling and the other is named Lan Hui. I hope they are clever and intelligent, and they will not be bullied by others in the future. Xiao Qi has the most intelligent mind." If he is alive, I hope he can keep his feet on the ground, avoid going astray, and call him Lan Zheng."

"Then what's our last name?"

Wei Ziqing smiled: "Silly boy, the surname is Lan. How many of you brothers will be the brothers of the Lan family from now on."

There seemed to be moisture in Lan's eyes: "Okay, so it sounds like a family."

The name is just an interlude, Wei Ziqing did not forget the main purpose of today, he and the three brothers explained the operation mode of the shelter.

They accept donations from the outside world, but they cannot rely solely on external forces. The best state is to be able to operate by themselves.

The adopted children are in the state of part-time work and part-study. He will arrange the work when he has a suitable job, and he has already planned the learning content.

Literacy and basic money counting are necessary courses, and then skills courses will also be carried out. After all, not every child is talented to rely on reading to make a living, and more people still have a manual job that can support themselves.

When they reach the age of 14, they can be released to work, but they need to hand over half of their wages for the first three years, and then they will settle the money and have nothing to do with it.

"Currently, our skills classes can only teach some boxing kung fu and snack making, and there are no suitable teachers for others."

He, Axiu and even Awang can come to teach dim sum making, and boxing kung fu is naturally assigned to Xiao Yezi, of course, he himself doesn't know it yet.
