Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 57
After Niu Dazhuang was silent for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh: "At first they had already accepted the gift money, but when I heard about borrowing money, my sister-in-law immediately returned the money to me, saying that they would not accept the gift money from our family. There is no money left to lend us."

Sun Mei enlightened after hearing the words: "It's not like you don't know sister-in-law's temper. Why are you sick with her? If you don't borrow it, don't borrow it. I don't believe that the sky can fall."

Niu Dazhuang raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the door, and found that the four girls were not listening, so he whispered: "You are speaking forcefully, but if you really can't get the money, can the supply and marketing cooperative give us fertilizers and pesticides on credit? If we don’t fertilize or apply pesticides in the fields, what will our family eat in the coming year? There’s also Siya’s schooling, doesn’t it all cost money?”

Sun Mei whispered: "Didn't Siya say that you don't need to pay tuition fees in college?"

Niu Dazhuang gave Sun Mei a white look: "University doesn't charge tuition fees, do you think it's over? The train ticket to BJ alone costs more than 30 yuan, plus the car fare, I'm afraid 40 yuan won't be able to afford it! Besides, she used to When studying in the county, you can bring food from home to school to cover the food expenses. You can’t do this when you go to college. In addition to eating, we have to buy some new clothes for her, otherwise she will be dressed in rags. Going to BJ, how shivering is that? And the cost of buying other daily necessities, where does the money come from?"

Sun Mei was speechless when she heard this. After being silent for a while, she whispered: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Yaowa is helping the teacher with work today. When he came back, the teacher gave him a big silver carp. We I left a small pot for you, it should still be hot, I'll bring it over right away, so don't worry about it, just have a good drink or two."

Without much effort, Sun Mei brought out the fish soup. There was a lot of fish in it. Niu Dazhuang felt a little better after seeing the delicious fish soup.

While he was drinking, Niu Xiaoqiang slipped out through the back door.After hearing the conversation of his parents just now, Niu Xiaoqiang felt very uncomfortable.As long as he can remember, the family always worried about money, and sometimes quarreled. Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help sighing secretly: It's really sad for a poor and humble family. Uncle knows that his second brother has helped him, and he also knows that his second brother What's the situation with my younger brother's family, and it turned out that he, the big brother, was determined not to borrow any money, how did his father feel about this?No wonder Dad's face is so ugly.

Niu Xiaoqiang is sensible now, so naturally he won't turn a blind eye to this.Although he has launched the Hope Farm Project, it will take several months for the farm to reap the benefits. Before that, how should the family's financial difficulties be solved?
Niu Xiaoqiang thought about it, and soon came up with a good solution. He decided to go to Fang Dongping and ask Fang Dongping to take him out to earn extra money.

Fang Dongping is well-known for his mechanical manufacturing skills. Many factories in the county will come to ask him for help if they encounter difficulties.Of course, asking for help requires money. According to Fang Dongping, every time he goes out to help people solve problems, he charges at least five yuan to start.Of course, if he fails to help people solve their problems, he will not take money from them.

The monthly salary of ordinary workers is only about 20 yuan these days, Fang Dongping's asking price is definitely very high.Even so, there are still people coming to him for help in an endless stream. There is no way, who told him to have such strength?

After Niu Xiaoqiang slipped out, he found Niu Xiaoyong and asked him to push his bicycle out, and then Niu Xiaoqiang pedaled his bicycle towards the town.

The mountain road is a little rough, and it is not so clear at night, so Niu Xiaoqiang dare not ride too fast. It took half an hour to reach the originally 10-[-]-minute journey.

Fang Dongping was sitting in the small courtyard to enjoy the shade, Niu Xiaoqiang leaned his bicycle against the wall, wiped his sweat and greeted with a smile: "Master, have you eaten yet?"

Fang Dongping opened his eyes, and looked towards the door in surprise: "Xiaoqiang, why are you here so late at night?"

Niu Xiaoqiang walked up to him with a smile, picked up the teapot graciously, and helped Fang Dongping refill the teacup: "Look at what you said, can I not come to see you at night?"

Fang Dongping laughed: "You boy, not only is your brain open, but also makes people listen to your words comfortably. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the Temple of Three Treasures. If you have something to say, just say it, don't go around in circles with me. Otherwise, I will drive people away."

Niu Xiaoqiang snatched the banana fan from Fang Dongping's hand, and fanned Fang Dongping vigorously while begging for mercy: "Don't tell me, master, it's all right if you say it. The reason why I came here at night is mainly to ask about earning extra money, master." , Have you received any private work recently? Can you bring your apprentice with you, so that the apprentice can also get rich."

Fang Dongping stretched out his hand and gave Niu Xiaoqiang a headache, and scolded with a smile: "It's not too big or small to talk to Master."

Niu Xiaoqiang knew something was going on when he saw Fang Dongping's expression, and he quickly flattered: "Isn't it all because of your kindness, Master? Every time I see you, I feel the warmth like spring, otherwise my apprentice would How dare you be so casual?"

Fang Dongping grinned very usefully and said, "Your mouth is really getting better at talking."

Niu Xiaoqiang deliberately slowed down his tone: "Then about earning extra money...?"

Fang Dongping turned his head to look at Niu Xiaoqiang's immature face, showing a troubled expression: "I would rather take you to do private work, but you are too young and have not mastered the skills. I am worried that the employer will not be happy."

Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly continued to flatter: "Master, as long as you open your mouth, will those employers dare not agree? I am almost 16 years old, and I am not too young. Besides, I have studied with such a powerful master like you for so long, and my skills are no better than those in the factory. Are the apprentices here much better? No matter how bad it is, I can help you."

Fang Dongping couldn't stand Niu Xiaoqiang's wave after wave of flattery, he laughed and said: "Your words are pleasing to the ear, so Master will take you out to see the world. It happens that there is a job tomorrow, and you are at eight o'clock in the morning. When I came here before, I discussed with my employer, if he agrees, I will take you there, if he is not willing—"

Niu Xiaoqiang really needed this job so much. Before Fang Dongping finished speaking, he gave another loud flattery: "If he doesn't agree, Master, don't go either. I don't believe that he dares to lose his teeth." Half a word! Hmph, without a great expert like you, I wonder what he will do!"

"Hahahaha, you kid is really wicked, that's all. Master is getting old and won't accept any more apprentices in the future. I guess you are my closed disciple. For you, this closed disciple, I'll let go of this old face."
