Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 160 The aftermath before going to school
Although it is not a big item like a motorcycle, and the audience is much smaller, the demand may be greater. This guy has only been here three weeks, and he has brought three products to the steel rolling mill. After leaving like this, Director Yang feels the same. Sour.

"Okay, unlike you, Lao Yang, Xiao Zhu has agreed and is willing to come back to work after graduation. The rest depends on your ability."

"Five years, who knows if he will still think like this in five years."

"I have a feeling that this guy, despite his young age, always seems to have plans for the next few years."

"As long as he is willing to come, I will shamelessly go to the leader..."

"I guess he was telling the truth. He still values ​​friendship. He rewarded him with 2000 yuan without looking at you. He turned around and returned the two drawings."

"I really don't know what's going on in this kid's mind, why he always has weird thoughts."

……

I have completed all the procedures for leaving the factory and left after only three weeks. Especially when I just won the grand prize, everyone was very surprised. If I stayed in the factory, the road ahead would be much easier. There are countless roads in the steel rolling mill. A place where no one can come even if they want to.

Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to state that he had been admitted to the university. This eliminated everyone's doubts and gave him sincere blessings. In fact, many people in the workshop already knew about it, but seeing that Zhu Xuefeng did not speak, they remained silent.

"Uncle Ma, I'm leaving. I'll come back when I have time. Don't let me in then."

"Okay, get out of here. Get away. I'll get annoyed when I see you."

Then he whispered, "The report has been handed in."

After jokingly bidding farewell to Section Chief Ma, Zhu Xuefeng rode away and his short days of driving screws were over.

...

It was so early to go home today that Zhu Xuefeng was not used to it. The courtyard was still the same as before, with a group of little kids playing outside and in the yard, and three or five aunts and daughters-in-law chatting under the shade of the trees.

The renovation of the house has been completed except for the cellar. The door of the cellar will be replaced tomorrow and it should be completed. The borrowed grains have also been returned door to door. It is peaceful. Zhu Xuefeng keeps asking Zhu Xuefeng to ask if he has anything to say in the future. Don't be too polite.

Uncle Xue happens to be here, and now there are only three people working in the cellar. The others have been removed and turned to making furniture. Zhu Xuefeng provided [-] yuan, which is considered as the starting capital for purchasing materials.

The wages for the renovation have been settled in advance, and even today, the wages for the kitchen help have been settled, each costing more than ten yuan. But the third aunt was very happy. It was the first time in so many years that she had earned so much money.

"Master, this cellar will be finished in a moment. Tomorrow, the third child will come over and replace the door, and it will be finished."

"I'm really sorry for bothering you. I've been making so many requests. Uncle Xue, your craftsmanship is really like this."

Zhu Xuefeng handed over a cigarette and the two started smoking together.

"The pipes at Uncle Zou's house have also been added. We have now received four sets of furniture, a total of 24 pieces. It is estimated that it will take two months to complete. We are so busy now that we don't even have time to make samples."

Zhu Xuefeng took out a long breath and looked into the distance slowly, his eyes a little wandering.

"Uncle Xue, what we have to do now is long-term work, and there are only a dozen of these samples. This is how you will ask for work in the future. Without this job sign, why would anyone ask you to do it?"

"How many years will it take for word of mouth to spread? It will only spread to this small piece. You have to think about it for a long time."

Uncle Xue was still complacent just now, but the situation opened up quickly, and when he turned around, Zhu Xuefeng woke him up with a basin of cold water.

This neighborhood business is done once it's done. If we really rely on word of mouth, we really can't afford to support these people. Now there are more than ten people who want to stay and do carpentry, and there are still some people who want to come.

"We have to arrange for people to go to the old neighborhoods in various areas, take the initiative to invite people to come and see the samples, and think of ways to let more people see the samples. You must have a way to do this, so I will remind you." "Also, I will take you somewhere tomorrow, don't forget to come to me early."

The two chatted for a while, and then Uncle Xue left with the finished craftsmen.

"Brother, are you finished?"

The little girl's cry came from the room. She and He Yuyu were making up lessons in the south wing. They were so impatient that they all knew that Zhu Xuefeng would be back early today.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Xuefeng patted his butt and stood up.

"Second uncle asked someone to send a message. It's in your room. We haven't opened it. Brother, you can read it yourself."

I have only been back for less than a month, so what could happen? The letter was not sealed. I took out the letter and read it. There was nothing in it. Everything was fine at home.

The second uncle briefly talked about the news in the village. A chicken farm has been set up. A large area of ​​​​mountain and forest has been surrounded. The management requires the number to be controlled according to the account. The chickens are to be raised. There are not even chicks yet. I want to see the effect, at least. Next year.

Then there is the willow root fish that Zhu Xuefeng wants. His second uncle has collected two hundred fish. If he wants to use them, he will go back and take them away before the end of the year.

Mentioning the matter of the chicken farm, the old party secretary repeatedly emphasized that it was Zhu Xuefeng's good suggestion and insisted that it was an honor belonging to the old Zhu family. The proposer should be clearly stated in the report, so the second uncle accepted it.

Then he asked about Zhu Xuefeng's college entrance examination status. The second uncle, second aunt, sister-in-law, and uncle were all very concerned about this, but they still didn't get any news, so they were a little worried.

Zhu Xuefeng sat down and answered the letter. He forgot about the college entrance examination admission notice. This was considered a big event in his hometown. Guangzong Yaozu took 20 yuan. I guess his second uncle would have to celebrate in the village, so let him do it.

Do you have to do it yourself? There is no precedent around here. I don’t know if it can be done. When Uncle Zou comes back, I will ask Uncle Zou first.

The fire was ready at home, so I didn’t go to Sha Zhu’s house to cook. However, He Yuyu would come over to eat dinner together. Sha Zhu was busy preparing dishes during this period and was addicted to it. He came back late every day. He heard that the demand was greater.

There was enough time today, so Zhu Xuefeng made good preparations. He picked a lot of beans and peppers in the vegetable garden. Only one tomato was red. He pinched a handful of leeks. There were also some potatoes and bacon at home.

It’s not complicated at all. Stir-fried green beans with some minced meat, shredded pork with green peppers, eggs with leeks, and potatoes to make mashed potatoes with some diced bacon. One tomato can make a tomato and egg soup. It’s a standard four dishes and one soup.

I made some rice and put in more rice so that I can have breakfast tomorrow. I can make egg fried rice for breakfast, which saves time and effort.

It was still early, so Zhu Xuefeng returned to the room to draw pictures. He wanted to finish the previous sets of pictures in the past few days. It might be difficult to finish them. However, there were too many uncertainties after the report, so he should try to finish them before the start of school.

Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, Zhu Xuesong came back on his bike. The second son had been fishing at the lake in the afternoons for the past few days. He had fed a lot of fish food, and the crowd was also dark, but he didn't catch many fish.

"Brother, I'm back. Look, I caught two more."

The little guy was quite excited, and both items were less than two taels.

"Put it in the water tank, wash it, and tell Sister Yuyu and little sister to eat. It's all ready."

"Oh"

After dinner, I went to Uncle Zou’s house and asked about the teacher-appreciation banquet. According to Uncle Zou, this tradition has been around since ancient times. In the nearby compound, no one has gone to college in the past few years, but no one was organizing it. Let Zhu Xuefeng see it for himself. Let's do it.

Zhu Xuefeng was still uneasy, fearing that a happy event would eventually turn into a bad thing. After thinking about it, he decided not to do it. He bought some gifts and waited for Uncle Xue to arrange them tomorrow. He spent two days visiting the school leaders and all the teachers. , thanks for the teaching, and it also settles a matter on my mind.
