Chapter 272 Idol's Long-lasting Love (7)
After Gu's father and Lin Chimu washed the dishes, they came over to help Gu Yuxi with the skewers. He said, "Don't say those things to me. Save your money. If you spend lavishly, your mother and I won't be able to afford it in the future."
"Don't worry, I won't let you sell everything you have."
The man dropped the cabbage leaf in his hand and said to the evildoer, "You... little bastard, are you kidding me like that? Go find some cold medicine and bring it to me."
"Oh!"
Gu Yuxi stood up and walked towards her room. Finally, she took out a box of cold medicine and brought two cups of warm water from the kitchen.
"That's good enough. Xiaolin, you should take one too, or you'll have a bad cold."
"Uncle, I'm in good health. No need."
"Both glasses of water are here. It would be bad if they got cold. Let's talk about the part-time job when your aunt comes."
Lin Chimu could only put down the leeks in his hand and was pulled aside to take medicine. He felt that this was not the place for him.
A few people were stringing skewers for a while, and Gu Yuxi was called to clean up the room. Only then did Lin Chimu see a woman walk into the backyard. She had a kind face, making it difficult for people to distance themselves from her.
"This is Yuxi's mother, Xiaolin, you can just call her aunt."
He quickly stood up and said, "Hello, Auntie."
"Okay, kid, just sit there. Don't be so reserved. We all want to earn some money to support our families. We can discuss part-time jobs."
Gu Mu picked up a bench, sat opposite Lin Chimu, and began to ask: "I will also call you Xiaolin like my wife. Xiaolin, I have a general understanding of your situation. We can only arrange one month of work time at present."
"Auntie, I can be a long-term worker."
"You are still young and don't know the importance of studying. Five thousand and eighty per month. Here is the contract. You can take a look. If you don't want to do it, forget it. Anyway, we only provide one month."
When Lin Chimu heard this number, he couldn't believe it. Many people said that they could only give him fifteen hundred at most. This was several times more than he expected.
"No, Auntie, I'll do it, just one month at a time."
"That's good. The hours are like this: eight hours a day, overtime pay on weekends, no work on Sunday afternoons, no monthly holidays. We provide food and accommodation. Do you have any problem with this?"
"No problem, I can do that."
"Then let's continue. The working hours are from 8 am to 12 pm and from 2 pm to 6 pm. Your job is to clean the noodle shop, wash dishes and vegetables, cook noodles, and sometimes go outside to help buy things. Anyway, these are all odd jobs. Can you do it?"
Lin Chimu thought it was simple and nodded in agreement immediately: "Auntie, I can do all these tasks. I really need this job. Please let me stay."
Gu's mother looked at Lin Chimu, then nodded in understanding, took out a contract from her bag and handed it over.
"This is a labor contract. Take a look at it first. If there is no problem, sign it. It is also a kind of protection for yourself."
Lin Chimu took the contract, which clearly stated his obligations and some precautions, all of which were standard. He took a pen, wrote his name, and pressed his fingerprint.
"You take one copy of the contract and I take one copy. Keep it safe for yourselves. You will live in that room. It was my daughter who lived there before. Now you can move in."
"Auntie, Sister Xi..."
"Don't worry, she has a place to stay. We are not in the noodle shop most of the time at night. Please be careful. There are cameras around. You don't have to worry. You can use the washing machine and other furniture as you like."
"Thank you, auntie, thank you, uncle."
"Call your family and let them know. It's settled. You should pack your things this afternoon and start work tomorrow."
"Xiao Lin, your clothes are all wet. Wash them. Have a good rest today and we will work tomorrow."
"Uncle, that's not urgent."
"How can I not be anxious? The room should be almost cleaned up. Keep the contract yourself."
"Thank you, auntie, thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome. Just treat it like your own home. Don't be shy."
Lin Chimu then stood up. The Gu family was kind and it was his blessing to meet them.
Walking into the room, he saw the girl sweeping the garbage with a broom. He walked over and she said, "Tell us if there's anything missing in the room. There are a lot of mosquitoes recently. I'll bring you some incense later, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."
"No need, Sister Xi."
After cleaning the room, Gu Yuxi looked at him and reminded him, "Boys should love themselves more. My brother would complain for days after being bitten by mosquitoes."
"Sister, please don't say bad things about me, or I won't help you sell skewers."
"I'm telling the truth. If you don't want to help me, forget it. I don't need to pay you a salary. I'll just take whatever you earn."
"No, I don't want to stay in the noodle shop every day. Just take me with you and I'll attract customers for you."
Lin Chimu saw a sunny and confident boy walk into the room, pulling Gu Yuxi's arm and starting to act coquettishly. Lin Chimu was very envious.
Gu Yuxi then explained to Lin Chimu: "This is my younger brother, Gu Ansen. He is a little bit spoiled. Chimu, don't take it personally."
"Sister, I don't have any."
Gu Ansen then looked at the part-time boy in front of him. He had more or less heard some of his parents' conversation. He was about the same age as him, but had experienced a different story.
He extended his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Gu Ansen, I hope we can become good friends."
"I'm Lin Chimu, nice to meet you."
Gu Yuxi: "Just stay in the room, I still have to prepare to open the stall, you go ahead and do your work."
"No, sister, wait for me."
Gu Yuxi put the prepared grilled skewers into the car and also prepared the chili sauce and side dishes. Her goal today was two thousand yuan.
"Move the table for me quickly, or you won't get paid."
Gu Ansen carried two stacks of folding stools into the car and said jokingly, "Tsk, you haven't even gotten your capital back yet."
"Don't say I can't make money. It's easy to make back my investment. If you don't leave, I will leave."
"Can't you slow down a little? I need to go to the bathroom."
"If you keep dawdling, there will be no place to set up your stall later."
"understood."
Gu Yuxi was cleaning up while waiting for Gu Ansen and thinking about his own kebab stall.
She had a general understanding of the taste of this place, and the seasonings she prepared should suit the local people's tastes, but she didn't know how effective they would be.
She has two businesses: grilled skewers and fried rice and fried noodles. If possible, she can set up a hotpot stall in the future, selling small hotpots and grilled skewers at the same time.
In the previous world, she started doing this when she was a junior in college and the response was good. Unfortunately, she only did it for half a year and then she was busy with company matters. Now she should just make up for it.
