Reborn 1980 The Thousand Gold Peasant Girl

Chapter 66
Ning Qiu got up early again, the shop was sold only yesterday, the freshness has not passed yet.

Today, she is going to visit again, and find someone to renovate the shop, especially the second floor.Just a cursory glance yesterday, she had already found several damages.

"Ning Qiu, you're not going out again, are you? Why are you so busy?" Zhao Yanan muttered rubbing his eyes after getting up to go to the bathroom.

"That's right, once class starts, there will be no time. Okay, I'm leaving, I'll talk to you when I come back." After greeting her, she hurried out of the girls' dormitory.

Backed up two cars and arrived at the street where the shop was located.I glanced at the wall clock in the grocery store nearby, it was exactly 08:30.

I thought I had to buy a watch, otherwise it would be really inconvenient.

When you get to the store, use the key to open the door.

This time Ning Qiu checked it very carefully. The wires on the first floor were aging and needed to be rearranged, the walls had to be repainted, and the door panels at the entrance of the store needed to be replaced.

There are more places to be repaired on the second floor, such as the roof and walls.And that platform.The railings are rusted and too crumbling to be safe.

oh!And that wooden staircase, 'creaking' as if it would fall apart at any time.

Ning Qiu took a small notebook and listed each item.

I looked around carefully and saw that there was nothing missing, so I locked the door and came to the tea stand where I drank tea yesterday.

"Huh? Girl, why are you here again?" The aunt recognized her at a glance, such a fair and clean girl is not often seen around.

"Yes, aunt, we will be neighbors from now on." Ning Qiu said with a smile.

The aunt was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately reacted. "Could it be possible that you bought the old Xu's shop!?"

"Yes!"

"two thousand?!"

Ning Qiu didn't hide it, and nodded.

"I can't tell, girl, you are so rich!?"

"I'm still in school. Where did I get the money? It's all from my family. I was in high school in Luoyang, and my family wanted to come over and open a small shop, and take care of me here by the way." Ning Qiu changed the rhetoric again. come out.

"Hey, it's just a bit expensive. Girl... you didn't go back to buy it because of what your aunt said yesterday, did you?"

"Uh..." Ning Qiu said in embarrassment. "Of course not. My family is in a hurry to ask for it. I don't want to start school now."

"Oh... that's right. That's good, Lao Xu can take good care of his wife with this money."

"Auntie, give me a cup of tea."

"Here comes."

The aunt brought the barley tea to the table, and Ning Qiu asked her if there were any workers nearby who helped people renovate the house.

The aunt frowned and thought about it, "This... I'm afraid it's hard to find, which one doesn't do it yourself now."

Ning Qiu is in trouble, she doesn't know how to decorate and renovate houses.

The aunt rolled her eyes and asked, "Girl, do you want to pay someone to renovate the shop?"

"Yeah, my family is in the countryside, so it's inconvenient to come here."

"How much are you going to pay?"

Ning Qiu thought for a while, "I will pay for the materials used, and I will pay three yuan for the other one square meter."

"How much is that?"

"Well... the downstairs has 21 square meters, and the eight-square-meter platform on the second floor is half price. Adding a ten-square-meter room, the total is... 109, let's count it as 110."

The aunt immediately made a decision, "How about it, girl. My old man and son are idle recently, why don't you ask them to help you renovate the house?"

"Can you do it?"

"Why not, my family and this place are not caused by the two of you. You can rest assured if you leave it to me, and I won't cheat you in our neighbors."

In the early 90s, it was impossible to find a decoration team, because real estate had not yet developed in this period.And she has to go to class the day after tomorrow, so I'm afraid she won't have time to come here except for the rest day.

"Okay, then please Auntie."

Seeing that the girl agreed, the aunt laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. "That's good! I'll call you and me right away! Uh... girl, help me look around for a while. My house is not far from here, just a few minutes away. I'll go back and call someone, and I'll work for you right away!"

"Okay, you go."

The aunt pulled the apron and ran home excitedly, and took the father and son back to the tea stall not long after.

The aunt gasped, "Girl, I brought you someone, just look."

The uncle must be over 60 and very thin, with half white hair.The young man next to him must be in his 20s, not tall and as stocky as a tall woman.

Ning Qiu smiled and said hello, "Master, brother, my surname is Ning, and my name is Ning Qiu."

The aunt introduced enthusiastically from the side, "This is my family, surnamed Zhou, Zhou Quan. This is my son Zhou Lijun. My surname is Qian, Qian Guiying. You can call me Aunt Qian."

"Aunt Qian, have you told the two of you everything?"

"Yes, yes. My wife and son are fine."

"Yeah, I've helped people with this job. I know Uncle Xu's shop, and it's not a big place, so I'll fix it for you in half a month at most." Zhou Lijun was full of confidence.

"Brother Zhou's words make me feel relieved, but let's make a written statement first. I'm young, so I'm afraid you won't believe me. I have no experience and I don't know what to do. Make a written statement, and all the rules are clearly written. Everyone No loss. Uncle Zhou, Brother Zhou, what do you think?"

"Okay, that's good, everyone can rest assured."

Seeing what he said, Ning Qiu immediately took out a pen and paper from his backpack.

"First, I will be responsible for all the materials I need. The two of you will buy them for me, and I will reimburse you with the invoice. Do you think this is okay?"

Aunt Qian asked from the side, "Shall we pay first?"

Ning Qiu knew her worries, "Don't worry about this, I will pay half of the wages in advance."

The father and son exchanged glances and Zhouquan nodded. "Let's do it like this."

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I won't ask you to run errands to buy materials for nothing. In addition to wages, I will give you another 40 yuan for running errands, so that you can make up 150 just now."

How could the two object if they could get 40 more.

After writing this item, Ning Qiu said again. "The cost is three yuan per square meter. The platform on the second floor is half price, which is one yuan and five. The first floor plus the second floor are 31 square meters, which is 93 yuan. The platform is eight square meters, and the half price is 12. The total is 105. I will count it as 110 Are you satisfied with the price?"

Aunt Qian smiled, "Satisfied, why not? My son works in a factory and only pays [-] a month. Besides, it will take less than a month to renovate your shop."

Ning Qiu smiled, "Actually, there's no need to worry, as long as the quality is guaranteed. I'll give Uncle Zhou and Brother Zhou a month's time. I'll come to see it after a month, and I'll pay the other half of the wages when I'm done."

Uncle Zhou nodded, "One month is enough."

Ning Qiu added this, and wrote the year and date at the end.In duplicate, both parties signed their names on both papers.Ning Qiu gave one of them to Uncle Zhou, and gave him 75 yuan.

"Uncle Zhou, this is half of the wages. You take it. I have to ask you to write a receipt to prove that you have received the money."

"Let me write it, my dad can't read a few words."

After Zhou Lijun wrote down the receipt, the matter was settled.

Ning Qiu took the father and son to see the storefront, and told them about the places to be renovated that he noted earlier.

"Can you give me this one?" Zhou Lijun asked.

"of course can."

Zhou Lijun looked at the points recorded on the paper and nodded. "Okay, one month is enough."

"Okay, I'll leave the shop to you, here is the key."

Taking the key, Zhou Lijun smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, we will definitely renovate your place beautifully."

"Then please trouble Uncle Zhou and Brother Zhou."
