The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

"Brother, I don't want it, you can sell it for money." The elder brother gave her a fish ball, but Qiao Xiaohui shook her head, not wanting it.

"It's okay, it's not short of one and a half." Qiao Minglang stuffed the fish balls into his younger sister's hands, and when the fish balls were just cooked, they would all taste one and a half.

Among the younger siblings, the oldest sister is the most sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, Qiao Minglang patted the heads of the two little guys.The two little guys were very clingy to him as soon as they saw him, cuddling up to his side so well that it made people reluctant to push them away.

But they were going out now, so he could only harden his heart and push the two cute little guys away.

Now they sell a lot more things every day than when they started, and they have more things to do every day. Everyone gets up early in the morning and has to work all morning to get things done.But now that he is familiar with it and knows how to do some work, he doesn't need to ask him everything, and everyone can work faster than at the beginning.

Their meatballs are selling well now, and many people come to buy things from them every day, because their meatballs are so good.Therefore, he has to personally check the meatballs he makes every day, so as not to make any mistakes in their meatballs.

If you want to make tofu, both aunts can do it, so you can leave the work of making tofu to the two aunts.

"Brother has gone out, so please stay at home, don't run around outside, don't go to the river to play in the water." Their village is next to the river, and the children in the village like to go to the river to play in the water.Qiao Minglang's most worrying thing was that when he was not at home, the children in the family would run to the river to play in the water.

That's why he took the other two older ones to the town to sell things, so that he could keep a close eye on them, lest they go to the river to catch fish when he was not at home.

After they went out, only Qiao Xiaohui was at home with the twins.

"Brother, don't worry, I won't take them there." Qiao Xiaohui seldom takes the twins to the river to play. There are children in the village who fell into the river and drowned, and she herself rarely goes to the river. .

Not to mention that she still has two little ones with her now, so she won't go to those places.

There are only two older siblings who can't stand it and always run to the river to play.But now they followed the elder brother to the town to sell things. With the elder brother watching, the two of them would not dare to run around.

"That's good. You stay at home and listen to my sister obediently, and wait for my brother to bring you candy when he comes back." Qiao Minglang touched the heads of the two twins, and followed his cousin to the town without saying anything.

Seeing the brothers and sisters leaving, the twins stood behind and watched eagerly.

"Let's not follow, wait for the elder brother to come back and bring you food." Now the two little guys know that the elder brother will not take them when he goes out, so they don't cry anymore. Qiao Xiaohui felt pitiful.

Now the eldest brother goes to the town to sell things, and he will bring them back some snacks every now and then, the twins all remember.After understanding what my sister said, the twins knew that there was something to eat, so they put away their anxious looks and went to play with them.

After the auntie and the fifth aunt went out to sell things, Qiao Xiaohui took the twins to play with the cousin's children at the auntie's house for a while, and even ate breakfast at someone else's house. Talked a few words to my cousin about the family affairs.

Chen Mingzhu thought for a moment, then said: "Don't worry about other people's affairs, just close the door of your own yard and don't go out. Your elder brother and the others went to the town to sell things, and you will take them with you during the day. Brothers and sisters are at home, you have to take care of them and don't let them run around."

Although she usually takes care of the children at home and doesn't go out much, but she has heard some people and things in the village from her mother-in-law. The old lady is not a good person to get along with. Chen Mingzhu had also heard about it.

Other people's family affairs are other people's family affairs. They close their own doors and live their own lives. They don't have to mess with that kind of people, and they can't afford to.

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Qiao Xiaohui nodded and said, "I know, I will take good care of Xiaobao and Xiaomei."

That day they played at the cousin's sister-in-law's house until almost noon before she took the twins home.

When I went back, I walked by the door of the neighbor's house, and saw that the door of the neighbor's house was closed. Qiao Xiaohui walked quickly with her younger siblings, and went back to her own house. He took his brothers and sisters back to the house.

"I don't think you have much interest in doing things here. If you really don't want to do it, just say so, so that I can let others do it, so as not to cause problems..."

On this day, the boss found trouble in the store again, because of a trivial matter, he scolded him in front of the whole store, and the scolding became worse and worse.Besides, it wasn't his fault, Qiao Mingshan said after listening with a sullen face, "Since the boss thinks my work is not good, then I won't do it, and I will pack up and go home tomorrow."

He can't bear this anger!Whoever loves it will accept it!I will stop doing it!

Qiao Mingshan knew that this rich relative looked down on poor people like them, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of them. In the past few years when he came to work in the store, he scolded him every day when he was caught, and never gave him a half-kind face.

"you……"

Feng Dongliang obviously didn't expect this kid to quit, so he choked for a moment, pointed at Qiao Mingshan's finger and shook it twice, and after a while he found his tongue and asked, "I'll just say a few words to you. It’s too bad, you know how to be lazy and careless all day long, and you are careless in your work, so I’ll just say a few words to you, and I’m wrong about you.”

"If it weren't for the fact that our two families are relatives, I wouldn't have listened to your aunt and asked you to come to the store. Now that your wings are hardened, can you fly? If it wasn't for your own good, I I didn’t bother to talk about you. Didn’t you just say a few words about you, and you said you wanted to go home, like you, no matter where you go in the future, you won’t be able to do anything big.”

"I don't need to bother you about this." After being scolded for so many years, Qiao Mingshan straightened his back in front of this relative for the first time, and replied: "Is there something wrong with my work? Everyone knows it well." .”

"Let me tell you, if you leave now, you won't even get a penny of this month's wages." The wages in their shop are paid after one month's work, and the wages will not be paid until the beginning of the next month.Feng Dongliang just held onto this kid and dared not dare, he was used to this kid not retaliating when he scolded, but he never thought that one day he would say in front of his face that he would go home and quit.

Just go back, if you dare to pack up your things and go back, you will never come back to work in the store again!

Their monthly basic wages are very small, and they will only get more wages if they take orders and do the work.

His current craftsmanship is not worse than that of his master, and he still gets the apprentice's salary, which is not much at all. Now that Feng Dongliang still said that he would not pay him, Qiao Mingshan clenched his fists and said, "Why don't you pay me?" Salary, I have done several orders this month, you must give me the money for the orders."

"Oh, aren't your wings hard? Then go away. I won't give you the salary if you haven't worked for a full month. Don't wait for tomorrow. I think you packed your things and went back today, my little one. The temple can't accommodate you, a great god, so I don't want to see you off." Feng Dongliang snorted, with disdain in his eyes, he glanced up and down at the relatives standing in front of him, and said: "Look at that poor man, he deserves to be poor all his life. .”

Qiao Mingshan's throat rolled up and down, and the hands beside him were tightly clenched into fists, wishing he could rush up and punch Feng Dongliang, but he was pressed down firmly.All his life, he remembered what Feng Dongliang, a relative, said in front of him.

Do you deserve to be poor all your life? !

He didn't believe it anymore, he, Qiao Mingshan, would be a poor man all his life!One day, he, Qiao Mingshan, will come back here and let this relative who sees people as low as a dog flatter him on his knees and lick him!

Seeing the boss leaving, the clerk in the store stepped forward, put his hand on Qiao Mingshan's shoulder, and said, "Mingshan, you were too impulsive just now, didn't the boss just say a few words to you? Just say what you want, no There will be less meat, you just let him say it."

"Yes, he is the boss, and we are part-time workers. If we talk back to the boss, we must be the ones who suffer."

"Look at you, you lost your job for nothing, and you still can't get this month's salary. It's not worth it. Go and apologize to the boss now, talk to the boss, and apologize to the boss in a moment of anger. , maybe the boss can keep you in the store to continue working."

Everyone knew that Qiao Mingshan and their boss were relatives. With such a relationship, it was easier to talk to them than outsiders.It is not easy to find a job these days, and they all rely on this job to support their families.

Everyone has been together for so long, Qiao Mingshan is still a good person, and everyone has a good relationship with him. Seeing him quarreling with the boss today, they all thought he was just a temporary anger, and when the anger passed, It's too late to regret.

Hearing everyone's persuasion, Qiao Mingshan shook his head, smiled, and said, "I think it's better to forget it."

Sooner or later, he will not be able to continue this job. Instead of procrastinating and suffering here, it is better not to do it now.It's just that he can't get the wages for nearly half a month, which makes him a little unwilling. After all, this money is the wages he deserves.

But it is impossible for him to apologize to the boss and bow his head.It was his fault for today's matter, and he endured being scolded like this.But Qiao Mingshan knew that as long as he was still working here for a day, he would have to suffer for a day. If he couldn't bear the anger, he would quit this job.

"Hey, think about it for yourself. Once you leave like this, it will be difficult to come back in the future."

Seeing that Qiao Mingshan couldn't be persuaded, everyone said nothing more. They still had work to do, so they went to work.
