The four of them soaked in the pool for a while, and Lao Ma invited everyone to go to the bathing room. The old man who took the bath was very skillful. After one bath, all four of them felt refreshed.

After scrubbing and showering, Hua He and Lao Ma led the remaining two people into the dressing room. Qiao Shefei opened the cabinet and prepared to wear his old clothes, but was stopped by Hua He.

Just as Qiao Shefei was about to say something, he saw Hua He open his cabinet, take out a new set of clothes and new shoes and hand them over.

Qiao Shefei reached out and took the clothes from Hua He. He didn't say anything more, but just put them on silently. Putting on the new clothes, Qiao Shefei immediately changed his temperament and became an urban youth again.

After taking a shower, it was time for supper. Hua He took the three of them to the commercial street, where there was an open-air barbecue stall. The four of them occupied a table and ordered a lot of skewers and beer.

At first, Qiao Shefei couldn't let go and seemed very restrained from the moment he sat down. However, under the leadership of Atu and Lao Ma, the atmosphere quickly became lively. Everyone ate barbecue and drank beer together, and lit up the atmosphere while drinking. The torch of friendship.

After three drinks and five dishes, it was time for the post-drink communication session. As the most valuable of the four, Hua He was the first to initiate the group chat.

Hua He faced Qiao Shefei and said, "I heard from Lao Ma that you work very hard at the construction site, but you don't get paid, just for a bowl of rice and a bed?"

"That's right, as long as you can eat and have a bed to sleep on," Qiao Shefei replied.

Hua He continued to smile and said: "This is not a long-term solution. Otherwise, you can change your job and come to my place to be a companion for Lao Ma and Atu."

Qiao Shefei was about to refuse, but Hua He had already spoken before him: "Since you showed me the store this afternoon, even if we are destined to be together, why not just stay here with me, and we'll guard the bookstore." Let’s live our little life slowly.”

Originally, Qiao Shefei wanted to reject Hua He, but he hesitated after hearing the last words. Hua He's last words touched his heart.

Thousands of years of wandering have already made him physically and mentally exhausted. He has long been fed up with wandering without a fixed abode, and now he just wants to live a stable life.

Lao Ma saw that Qiao Shefei was still hesitant, so he picked up a glass of wine and persuaded: "Xiao Qiao, actually the work on the construction site is not suitable for you. Look at your appearance now, and then think about your appearance before, God It’s so different, people like you can’t work on a construction site for long.”

In Lao Ma's eyes, Qiao Shefei is still that urban youth. Such a person works on the construction site just for food and accommodation. This is obviously a competition between him and himself. Since Hua He is willing to take him in, then he is more willing for him to stay.

Ah Tu also echoed: "Xiao Qiao, I'm not talking about you. With a soft-tempered personality like yours, I can't stay at the construction site. If you don't cause trouble, I'll mess with you. The construction site is not as simple as you think, so I have to say You’d better stay.”

Ah Tu entered the construction site at the age of eighteen. If Lao Ma hadn't taken him with him, he would have been bullied a lot as a fledgling. After communicating with Qiao Shefei, Ah Tu felt that people like him would definitely suffer at the construction site. , then it is better to stay and work in the bookstore.

Under the persuasion of Lao Ma and Atu, Qiao Shefei gradually became more convinced, so he raised his wine glass and said respectfully to Hua He, "Thank you, boss, for taking me in."

After saying that, Qiao Shefei raised his glass and drank it down.

After getting the answer he wanted, Hua He happily raised his glass, A Tu also raised his glass, Qiao Shefei poured another glass, and the four glasses clinked together.

Everything was smooth sailing so far. After accepting three employees, Hua He drank beer contentedly. If one basket was not enough, he asked for another basket. The four of them drank until the barbecue stall closed before going back.

Hua He took his three employees back to the bookstore and sent them all to the second floor. Then Hua He went down to the first floor alone and walked to the compartment on the first floor. He took out the books in stock and added them to the bookshelf. .

After finishing everything, Hua He went up to the second floor, opened the door of Ah Tu's room, and spent the whole night with Ah Tu.

Hua He got up first the next morning. A Tu, Lao Ma and Qiao Shefei were still asleep. A Tu and Lao Ma drank too much yesterday and had to get up a little later this morning.

Qiao Shefei hadn't slept so soundly for a long time, so he was still lying in bed today. Only Hua He got up early as usual, and then went to the vegetable market to buy some rice, flour, grains and oil.

Carrying the heavy bag, Hua He walked back to the store step by step. When he came back, the other three people still didn't wake up, so Hua He cooked another pot of porridge to eat when they got up.

After cooking the porridge, Hua He went to the first floor and officially opened the door to start business. The morning was sunny and Hua He read a book while looking at the store, and the morning passed like this.

At noon, Ah Tu was the first to come out of the room. He saw a pot of porridge on the table. It was almost cold. Ah Tu took a bowl and finished it in three or two mouthfuls. After drinking another bowl, he went to put the bowl under the faucet. washed.

While Ah Tu was washing the dishes, Qiao Shefei also came out, said hello to Ah Tu, and also sat at the dining table and started drinking porridge.

After breakfast, A Tu and Qiao Shefei came to the first floor. Looking at the open bookstore and a few scattered customers, they felt a little guilty in their hearts, and then walked over to say hello to Hua He.

"Get up, did you sleep well last night? I made porridge this morning, did you all eat it?" Hua He asked with a smile.

Ah Tu said embarrassedly: "I slept very well last night and drank the porridge. I'm sorry, Hua He, I was so happy yesterday and slept so hard that I just got up now."

Qiao Shefei also nodded to express that he meant the same thing.

"It's the first day. It's okay. I'll teach you how to use the cash register again. Qiao Shefei will watch it, and Ah Tu will just review it." Hua He waved his hand and said indifferently.

When Lao Ma, who was the last to get up, walked out of the room, he was the only one left on the second floor. Lao Ma was not in a hurry. He finished the porridge in the pot and hummed a song while washing the pot and dishes. After washing the pot, he came to First floor.

Lao Ma came to the first floor and saw Hua He teaching Atu and Qiao She how to use the cash register. Then he came up and listened. By the time Hua He finished speaking, the three of them had almost memorized it.

Next, Hua He took the younger A Tu and Qiao Shefei to the bookshelf area and told them what books to put in what positions.

Although both of them had good memories, they couldn't remember the locations of all the books in an instant. Looking at the forced smiles of the two, Hua He calmly told them to memorize them later.

Hua He stayed in the store all day, teaching Lao Ma and the other three about the daily work of the bookstore. When customers bought books, he also let the three of them start operating one by one. In the evening, he led them to clean, organize the bookshelves and restock the books.

In this way, under the leadership of Hua He, the three Lao Ma people quickly became familiar with their positions and work, and basically completed the transformation from workers to salespeople in one day.
