Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

The news that Wang Zhaoyang was going to suspend his job soon swept through the entire machinery factory.

As No.1 in the machinery factory who was suspended without pay, many people thought he was out of his mind.

But after the news reached Ji Xiaonian, Ji Xiaonian's mind also changed rapidly.

Wang Zhaoyang can stay without pay for Ling Xiaoyue, but he can't see her suffer.

And what about Huang Guixiang?
She sells fruits in wind and rain every day. Although the money she makes is far less than Ling Yue's, she enjoys it.

It was precisely because Ling Yue took her to sell fruit that the family's conditions improved step by step.

Last month, my father was sick and had to be hospitalized. My mother asked someone to write a letter asking for money. Huang Guixiang sent 300 yuan back without saying a word.

Only he knew how Huang Guixiang earned the 300 yuan.

That's what she earned with sweat!

Ji Xiaonian also lost his mind about work, and wished he could get off work early and go to Huang Guixiang to discuss it.

That night, when Ji Xiaonian came home, Huang Guixiang had already cooked a meal and sorted out a load of pears, which he was going to sell at the night market.

Seeing him coming back, Huang Guixiang put on a smile on his face: "Xiao Nian, the rice is in the pot, you can eat it yourself, I'm going to the night market."

"and many more."

Ji Xiaonian stopped her from picking fruits, closed the door again, pulled Huang Guixiang to the table, and said to her solemnly: "Guixiang, something serious happened."

Huang Guixiang looked at his serious face and asked nervously, "Xiao Nian, what happened?"

Before Ji Xiaonian could speak, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and even her voice trembled: "Is your father's condition getting worse?"

Ji Xiaonian looked at her in astonishment, and shook his head: "Where do you want to go, my dad has already been discharged from the hospital, just rest at home for a month or two."

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

Looking at Huang Guixiang who was so anxious that she was about to shed tears, Ji Xiaonian said slowly, "Did you know that Wang Zhaoyang has applied for a suspension of pay."

Huang Guixiang didn't react, she didn't understand what "suspended without pay" meant.

Ji Xiaonian explained: "People in the factory are going crazy, saying that Ling Xiaoyue's shop can earn Wang Gong's salary for a month in a day."

Huang Guixiang looked at him with contempt on her face: "That's it? Are you stupid, let alone Xiaoyue, it's just me. When business is good, will I not be able to earn your monthly salary?"

In a word, Ji Xiaonian was so choked that he didn't speak for a long time.

He had no choice but to explain the meaning of suspension without pay: "You don't understand what suspension without pay means. Simply put, it means to stop paying wages and keep his job position. Do you understand now?"

Huang Guixiang definitely didn't understand this before.

But now, she has to deal with all kinds of people every day, and she has more knowledge and understanding of nature.

When she realized it, her eyes lit up a lot: "Really? The factory agreed?"

Ji Xiaonian shook his head: "I don't know if the factory agrees, but the news came from the technical department, so I can't tell if it's fake."

"and……"

He looked at her meaningfully, "Besides, the person in the technical department said clearly that he loves his wife."

"Hey, what am I supposed to do! Wang Zhaoyang doesn't love Xiaoyue, who cares about Xiaoyue?"

Huang Guixiang laughed, and the smile froze on her face.

She tentatively asked: "You tell me this, is it possible that you also have such thoughts?"

Wouldn't it be what she thought, Ji Xiaonian would also stop working without pay to help him sell fruit?
It's kind of mysterious to say this.

Ji Xiaonian smiled and nodded: "You see, I am exhausted every day in the factory, and in the end the salary I can get is only your daily profit. Why don't you learn from Wang Gong and sell fruits with you."

People look at money, and look at wealth.

Since Huang Guixiang has such a high profit selling fruits, why should he still guard these three melons and two dates?
This job is tiring, not to mention, I also do some things that offend others.

It's better to give up this position and do business well.

Huang Guixiang was stunned, and after a long while waved her hands and said, "No, no, you have to let me think about this matter."

"What's there to consider?" Ji Xiaonian pointed upstairs, "Look at Lao Hu, his salary in the factory is only about 90 yuan, but Xiaoyue's salary for Zhaodi is only [-] yuan a month. There are [-] yuan."

"The two sisters also said that working at Ling Yue's place is actually not tiring. They just sell and look for clothes, and they get a ten-cent commission when they sell one."

"Their commission last month was 20 yuan less, and their salary is much higher than that of Hu Ke!"

"Look at Jiang Congxiang again. She used to be different from you. She didn't do anything. Ling Yue asked her to go to work, and she went without saying a word. Why?"

"It's not about money!"

After Ji Xiaonian finished speaking, he took a sip of water, "Let's talk about you again, if Xiaoyue hadn't brought you to sell fruits, would you have earned so much money every day?"

Huang Guixiang sat on the stool and looked at him seriously: "Ji Xiaonian, aren't you making fun of me?"

Huang Guixiang knew what Ji Xiaonian said.

She never thought that one day Ji Xiaonian would take the initiative to tell her that she would stop working without pay to help her sell fruits.

"Don't you think it's embarrassing to sell fruit?"

"What kind of shame is there? We earn money by our own labor, and it's not illegal. How can we be ashamed?"

"Have you really thought it through?" Huang Guixiang still couldn't believe it, "If your parents ask, what should we say?"

At the beginning, when Ji Xiaonian went to work in the machinery factory, it was a great happy event in the village.

There has been a college student like Ji Xiaonian in their village these years, and getting a job means leaving the farm.

And he has only worked for five or six years, so he doesn't want to do it anymore. How are they going to explain to their parents and the villagers?

"Let's tell the truth!" Ji Xiaonian said indifferently, "We have worked for so many years, how much money have we saved? How much money have you saved after selling fruits for a month?"

Huang Guixiang stopped talking immediately.

That's right, Ji Xiaonian has worked for so many years, and his salary is fixed every month. The money he saved in five or six years is really not as much as the money he saved in selling fruit this month.

"You have to let me think about this matter." Huang Guixiang murmured to herself, "We are not as courageous as Xiaoyue. She said she would not sell fruits, and she would not sell department stores. There are old and young among us now, if we really take this step, will we really be able to rely on selling fruit in the future?"

"Why not?"

Ji Xiaonian patted her leg, "Xiaoyue is courageous, it's because she has good vision. Let's not compare with her, let's focus on selling fruits, and we will be prosperous one day, right?"

"We can also rent a storefront in the department store to sell fruits. At that time, you don't have to carry a load in the wind and rain every day. When the fruits come back, you can just pack them up and put them on the shelf. ,Am I right?"

Huang Guixiang looked at him in shock.

After a long time, she took a deep breath: "Since you have thought it over clearly, then you can do it. Just as you said, we will also rent a store to sell fruits."

She stood up and opened the door, picked up the fruit with a flashlight and went out: "I'm going to the night market."
