Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 457 Solved Two Big Problems
At this time, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan had already finished get off work from the textile factory and returned to Xiangmi Zhai to help with cooking and taking care of the children.

Since the children are still young, they cannot recognize people or crawl, so it is quite easy to take care of them. You just need to make sure to feed them and change their diapers on time.

In this way, it will not delay Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others from working in the front hall.

Moreover, even if we are too busy at the moment, it doesn’t matter. At most we can just ask the guests to wait for a while.

You know, these days there are regulations against beating customers without reason. In comparison, Xiangmi Zhai's service level has been leading for many years.

This is one of the reasons why Xiangmi Zhai’s business has always been so popular.

This means that Xiangmi Zhai sells not only honey and lemon tea, but also warm and attentive service.

When Li Guoqiang returned to Xiangmi Zhai, Luo Huijuan, Yao Meilan and others had just prepared the meal. They ran to the front hall and invited Xu Yuchang, Ma Hongjun and others to eat first.

Then they ran into the side room and replaced Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, and were very busy.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly took over the work of Xu Yuchang and others and was responsible for greeting the guests.

After Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun finished their meal, he went into the backyard to have dinner with Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan, and mentioned what he had done when he went to look for Luo Guofu but failed.

When Yao Meilan heard this, she immediately said, "Well, I'll go over after get off work tonight and call them home. I can also discuss with them about letting Qiuyan take over."

"Row!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Then I'll go see Xiaofu's grandfather when I'm free some other day to see if I can help cure his rheumatism."

"Ok!"

When Yao Meilan heard what Li Guoqiang said, she didn't care much and just nodded slightly in agreement.

After all, Luo Jiwu's rheumatism problem is not a one-day or two-day problem. He has been suffering from it for more than ten years.

In comparison, Luo Guofu’s problem is more important.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so anxious to call Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan back home.

On the one hand, it was to prevent Luo Jiwu from knowing about this matter, and on the other hand, it was to allow Li Guoqiang to check Luo Guofu's physical condition as soon as possible so that the Luo family could have their eldest grandson as soon as possible.

Not long after, Luo Huijuan finished her meal and returned to the room to look after the children, while Yao Meilan was responsible for cleaning up the dishes.

As for Li Guoqiang, he first checked the accounts with Shen Fengxia, and then rode a tricycle to take Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan to the textile factory.

When he returned to Xiangmi Zhai again, he looked at Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, who were busy with things in the front hall while taking care of the children in the backyard rooms. His brows slowly frowned.

Although they can still manage to keep busy now, the children will grow up one day.

By the time the children can crawl, walk and run, at least three people are needed just to look after them.

Therefore, he must find a way to solve this problem next.

"Brother Qiangzi, what's wrong with you?"

Shang Xiuzhen saw Li Guoqiang suddenly frowned and asked hurriedly.

"nothing!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head and said softly, "I just think we should ask a few people to help us?"

"this."

Shang Xiuzhen pondered for a moment when she heard this, then nodded and agreed, "I also think we should hire a few more people. After all, the children are still young and will get hungry soon after being fed.

Moreover, sometimes the next child is hungry before the previous one is fed.

What’s even more troublesome is that they are all very clean. Every time they poop, they will cry non-stop and they will only stop crying after I change their diapers.

So, oftentimes, just one or two people can’t take care of everything.”

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded after listening, and then said with a headache: "I know all these situations, so I thought of asking more people to come and help you.

The key issue now is where to hire people? And what kind of people should we hire? "

"That's true!"

When Shang Xiuzhen heard this, she immediately nodded and expressed her agreement.

After all, their relationship is too special to be known to anyone casually. It must be told to trustworthy people.

In addition, Xiangmi Zhai no longer has any recruitment vacancies, so even if it wants to hire, it can only hire temporary workers.

Given these two restrictions, it becomes difficult to hire this person.

As she was thinking, she suddenly thought of something and quickly suggested, "Oh, why don't we go ask Aunt Wu? She works at the street office and is familiar with the people in the street. She should be able to recommend some reliable people to us."

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Don't rush this matter, let me think about it!"

In fact, he had considered asking Wu Cai'e to recommend some people to work as temporary workers, but his relationship with Shang Xiuzhen and others was too sensitive, so he had to be cautious.

"Row!"

When Shang Xiuzhen heard this, she didn't say anything else. She just nodded and agreed, then continued to work.

Soon, it was evening in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Luo Huijuan got off work, she hurried to Xiangmi Zhai, and without saying a word, she picked up the child and fed him.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but frown again.

If it were in his previous life, he could have asked Luo Huijuan to prepare the child's food in advance and put it in the refrigerator, but now, how to prepare it is a problem.

The best solution is to let Luo Huijuan quit her job at the textile factory and become a full-time housewife.

This way, you can feed whenever you want and avoid this problem.

However, if Luo Huijuan quit her job because of this incident, it would seem too abnormal to outsiders.

Therefore, if it is not absolutely necessary, you still have to think of other ways.

"Qiangzi, what's wrong with you? I was feeding the baby just now and I saw you frowning!"

After a while, Luo Huijuan fed the child and put him back on the bed. Then she walked to Li Guoqiang, reached out to smooth his frown, and asked with concern on her face.

"It just makes me uncomfortable to see you like this!"

Li Guoqiang heard this and said with some distress.

When Luo Huijuan heard what Li Guoqiang said, she was stunned for a moment, then said with some amusement: "I thought you were stumped by something!
Don't worry! I have already solved the problem of feeding the child this afternoon."

"How did you solve it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly asked.

"Ah!"

Luo Huijuan smiled and said softly, "I originally wanted to apply to the factory to see if I could take some more leave, but then the director of the factory's labor union and the director of women's affairs came to me first and said that considering that I had given birth to three children and needed more time to feed them, they specially approved that I didn't have to get off work on time.

Even if I miss a whole day, it’s OK as long as I get my work done in time.”

"Great!"

After listening to you, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but praise you: "In this way, you have helped us solve two big problems!"

"Two big questions?"

Luo Huijuan was slightly stunned, then asked with some confusion.

"Oh!"

Li Guoqiang saw this and quickly explained, "This is what happened. I looked around the store today and found that Xiuzhen and Qiaoyan were having to work and take care of their children at the same time. They were really overwhelmed, so I thought about whether I could hire a few people to come over as temporary workers.

But you also know that our family’s situation is a bit special and it’s not easy to let outsiders know. Even if I want to invite someone, I don’t know who to invite for a while!

Now that you don't have to go to the factory to work at a fixed time, you can come with me to take care of the children in the store, so that Xiuzhen and Qiaoyan can relax a little."

"So that's it!"

After listening to Li Guoqiang's explanation, Luo Huijuan immediately revealed a look of realization, then nodded hurriedly and said: "You are right, if there is nothing important in the future, I will take time out every day to go to the factory to take on tasks, and then work on our side while taking care of the children.

Anyway, my work is all about design, and I can do it anywhere."

"Row!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said cheerfully: "When the time comes, I will build a small wooden house in the backyard for you to use as a studio."

"It's done!"

Luo Huijuan's eyes lit up, and she said expectantly, "Then I'll be waiting!"

After saying that, she turned and went to the front hall to tell Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others the good news so that they could feel relieved sooner.

Then she went back to the room, packed up briefly, waited for Shang Xiuzhen and Pan Qiaoyan to come over, and took the child home together.

Soon, they all got on a tricycle and left Xiangmizhai with Li Guoqiang, while Xu Yuchang, Ma Hongjun and Sun Jinda waited until Yu Li came back from get off work before closing the shop and leaving.

Yu Li looked at the backs of Xu Yuchang and others, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Originally, she wanted to come back early to help Luo Huijuan and others take care of the children and show more in front of Luo Huijuan.

As a result, she was delayed a little because of a task assigned by the factory.

Just when she was thinking about whether it was possible for her to move back to the Siheyuan to live with Shang Xiuzhen and others, Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others also returned to the Siheyuan smoothly.

Then, before they entered their own yard, they saw Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan, as well as the elderly couple Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, all waiting outside the archway.

Then, they just said hello, and Li Dawei and Yao Meilan walked up quickly as if they had seen some treasure, and snatched away the second and third treasures in Luo Huijuan's arms.

His anxious look made Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others look at each other in confusion.

Later, before Li Guoqiang could say anything, he saw Luo Guofu running towards him, then looked at Dabao in his arms with shining eyes, and laughed, "Brother, let me hold my nephew quickly!"

"Fuck off!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but said with some disdain: "With your clumsy behavior, what if you hurt my son?"

"will not!"

When Luo Guofu heard this, he immediately became anxious and quickly said, "How could this be possible? I promise I will be very careful."

"Fine!"

Seeing Luo Guofu patting his chest, Li Guoqiang could only nod reluctantly and said, "Then you must be careful."

As he said that, he handed over Dabao in his arms.

Upon seeing this, Luo Guofu rubbed his hands nervously, then cautiously reached out his hand to take Dabao and held him gently in his arms.

The next moment, before he could say hello to Dabao or tease him, Dabao suddenly pouted and cried out "wah".

"Hey! Why are you crying?"

When Luo Guofu heard the crying, he was stunned and asked in panic.

However, he forgot that Dabao was only a baby of two months old, so how could he understand what he said!
So, no matter how he asked, Dabao didn't stop crying, and even cried louder and louder.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Luo Huijuan took Dabao back.

What’s more magical is that as soon as Dabao was in Luo Huijuan’s arms, he stopped crying immediately.

When Luo Guofu saw this scene, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In his opinion, he really couldn't understand why this happened?

"okay!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't stand there like an idiot. Let's go back to the house and talk!"

After saying this, he signaled Luo Huijuan, Pan Qiaoyan and others to quickly carry the child into the house.

Because the children are still young, it is best not to stay outside for a long time at night to avoid being frightened accidentally.

Soon, Luo Huijuan, Pan Qiaoyan and others, holding their children, came into the house one after another with Li Guoqiang.

When Luo Guofu saw this, he naturally followed immediately, without noticing that behind him, Zhao Qiuyan was looking at Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others with envy.

Afterwards, Zhao Qiuyan did not follow him into the house, but turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, she brought plates of prepared food into the house, and enthusiastically invited Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others to sit down and eat.

By the time everyone was seated, she had just finished serving the food, and then quietly walked into the inner room, wanting to replace Li Dawei and Yao Meilan in looking after the children and to perform well in front of Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others.
