Reborn 1980 The Thousand Gold Peasant Girl

Chapter 85
After school, the uncle in the reception office came to the door of Class 3, Senior One, and asked Ning Qiu to answer the phone.Most of the people who would call her were from Yimin Food Factory, and before she had time to tidy up the textbooks on the table, Ning Qiu took her schoolbag and ran out quickly.

"Master, I have troubled you."

"What's the trouble, this is my job." Needless to say, people of this age are very responsible.

Picking up the microphone, Xu Qiming's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Ning Qiu?"

"Yeah, brother Xu, is the mint flavor made?"

"That's right, I called to tell you about this, but I didn't expect it to taste really good. The factory has already put it into production, but the master kept some and said he was waiting for you to come over."

"Oh, actually it's not necessary, there will be opportunities in the future."

"Have you found the shopkeeper?"

"No, I just finished my school exam today, and I'll try to find it after a few days of vacation."

"If so, how much are you going to pay?"

Ning Qiu ran this sentence over and over in his head, "Why, brother Xu helped me find someone?"

Xu Qiming laughed awkwardly on the phone, "Hehe, actually... She is a relative of mine. She used to work in a cotton spinning factory, but recently the factory was merged by foreign capital, so she was laid off."

Ning Qiu understood. She vaguely remembered that there had been layoffs since the labor contract reform in 87, but the scale was relatively small at that time. It was not until 1993 that there was a large-scale wave of layoffs.It is now 91 years, which is not a few years.

Ning Qiu thought for a while and asked, "How much profit does the food factory give the retailer?"

"Deducting the cost of transportation, it is between 30% and 40%. Your store is small and can't hold much goods, and it is in Luoyang. If you need it, I can deliver it for you. You don't have to worry about the transportation cost."

Ning Qiu smiled, "Since Brother Xu said so, I will not be polite. Then a fixed salary of 60 per month, plus a commission."

"Commission?"

"Well, three points of sales, or 3 percent."

"Then if you sell 100 a day, it will be 90 a month!? Add up and earn 150 a month!?"

"There are also times when business is not good, and it mainly depends on sales."

"That's not bad, our factory workers only pay 180 a month. That's fine, tell my relative later, don't worry about her character, I can guarantee it!"

"That's a good relationship. If it really happens, I have to treat Brother Xu to dinner!"

"A word is settled!"

In early autumn, the wind at night carries a hint of coolness.The leaves danced gently with the wind in the silver moonlight, and among the green, there were a few that were slightly lighter in color, and their posture was a little slow.Perhaps this is their last dance. When the wind invites them again, they will completely end their lives and return to the earth.

In the quiet orphanage, the corridors were pitch-black, as if everything was sleeping, only the sound of the wind outside the window could be heard.Moonlight shines in through the window, softly sprinkled on the brown wooden floor.

The subtle sound of 'creaking' echoed in the silent corridor, and in the darkness at the end, a ray of light gradually expanded.There is a shadow in the light, and the shadow is moving.As the light faded away, footsteps sounded in the corridor.The footsteps are very light, and you can feel the people walking carefully.Very slow, very regular step by step towards the stairs.

Suddenly, a foot wearing white sneakers appeared in the range of the moonlight. The white and brown formed a sharp contrast.Then another foot, then a shiny calf, a white skirt, and long black hair.

When they came to the stairs, their footsteps suddenly became faster, and the white figure flashed by under the moonlight, and disappeared into the darkness below the stairs.

Through the first floor to the basement, the temperature here is obviously much lower than that upstairs.

With a 'click', the light bulb hanging in the room was lit, and the dazzling yellow light illuminated the entire basement.

Ma Dongling covered his eyes with his hands, and slowly lowered them until he got used to the light.

She walked quickly to the cabinet on the left, bent down and took out the glass bottle hidden behind the cabinet, and put it into the backpack she had brought in advance.He picked out several medicines from the cabinet, poured out some of each, wrapped them in paper, and put them into the backpack together.

Go back to the door and press to turn off the light.The basement was once again shrouded in darkness, as if the scene just now had never happened at all.

Subtle footsteps sounded in the corridor again, this time in a hurry, and gradually disappeared in the corridor leading to the back door.

After the soft opening of the door, there was a soft closing of the door.Under the moonlight, the girl with her black hair flying wildly ran all the way to the southwest of the orphanage.

There is a high mound of earth, surrounded by overgrown weeds, almost no one has set foot here, only cheerful little insects singing in the grass.

Ma Dongling pushed aside the weeds taller than a person, and walked to the mound with difficulty.She stretched out her hand and groped on the tall mound for a while, only to hear a click, like the sound of a bolt being pulled out.

Immediately afterwards, the side of the mound was sunken. It turned out that there was a small iron gate here.

Ma Dong civet got in quickly, took out the match in his pocket, and lit a candle on the wooden box.

There was wind, and the candle flame flickered violently.Ma Dongling quickly closed the iron door and lightly picked up the candle.

Candles become bright, illuminating the small space.

The surroundings are made of huge rocks, forming a semicircle, and the entire interior looks like an upside-down pot.

There are many photos posted on the rock wall, both men and women, but there are children in these photos, and there are also teenagers or girls.

She walked up to a photo, tore it off, looked at it, and then lit it slowly on a candle.

In the firelight, her eyes were fascinated, but her expression was very serious.

The girl in the photo smiled brightly, and that smile gradually disappeared in the flames, and finally turned into black ashes, slipping from her fingertips.

Putting down the candle, she unloaded her backpack and carefully placed it in a corner.He looked up at the rest of the photos, and finally blew out the candles and went out.

next day
Maybe it's the sequelae of yesterday's exam. The students in the class were listless during class, just waiting for tomorrow's National Day holiday.

The teacher took the textbook and slapped it on the podium, but still couldn't bring back the souls of the teenagers who had let go.He could only sigh helplessly, and threw out his last trump card.

"Our Ninth Middle School will conduct a preliminary test every month, and the results after the test will be posted on the bulletin board in the corridor of the first year of high school! Therefore, I would like to remind all the students here to cheer up! The test is not the end, but the end of the test. New beginning!!"

This was really a bolt from the blue, and the fragile heart of the students trembled, and the souls that were released along with it were also taken back.

Seeing these teenagers whose souls returned to their original positions, the teacher was very satisfied.

In fact, not all students are listless and inattentive to class.

Look at this classmate wearing glasses, still taking notes seriously, looking at the teacher's writing on the blackboard intently, without any slack.

Ning Qiu tilted his head and glanced at his deskmate, feeling admiration in his heart.
