Zhang Xiaoxiao's Rebirth

Chapter 31 Help (2)

At this time, grandma and mother's pork had been sold out and came back from the stall.Dad and grandpa also came back from seeing the pigs in the village.

Zhang Xiaoxiao introduced Tan Yuanhai to his grandparents and parents, and said that he wanted to ask Tan Yuanhai to help the family.

Dad looked at Tan Yuanhai and said, "Okay! The family really lacks a manpower. Let's work for a few days and see if you can persist, then stay. If you can't persist, the wages for these few days will be a lot of yours." .”

Tan Yuanhai blushed with excitement.He nodded desperately and said: "I can do it, I can bear any hardship."

"Come and eat quickly, after lunch, go home and tell the family, and come to help in the evening." Mom said after laying out the meals inside.

Since the family started selling pork, every meal has a meat dish. For lunch that day, Zhang Xiaoxiao made one meat, two vegetables and one soup. In addition, Zhang Xiaoxiao’s cooking skills are exquisite, as well as delicious pickles and kimchi. Tan Yuanhai Mouth full of delicious food.As if he had never been full, he wolfed down three large bowls in one go.Still looking unfulfilled.But he himself felt a little embarrassed.

Grandma came from the time of famine. She had personally seen a person who starved for a few days and then died after a full meal. She knew that the child in front of her could not eat any more, otherwise she would harm him instead.

"Son, in our family, you can eat as much as you want. You can eat it anytime you are hungry, but you can't eat too much in one meal, otherwise it will be bad for your health."

The mother felt that this was inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, the growing child should eat more, come, I will serve you a meal."

"Auntie, there's no need to fill it up, I'm already full, really." Tan Yuanhai said hastily.Then he took the empty bowl to the kitchen.

After lunch, Tan Yuanhai went home, told his family, and brought some clothes.I live in Zhang Xiaoxiao's house.They happened to have another room in their house, so they gave it to Tan Yuanhai to live in.

Tan Yuanhai really lived up to Zhang Xiaoxiao's trust, because his family was poor since he was a child, he has done all kinds of work and suffered all kinds of hardships, and it is no problem to help Zhang Xiaoxiao's family with this kind of work.His hands and feet are nimble and skillful, and he is familiar with everything.

Tan Yuanhai is not only willing to endure hardships, but also has a flexible mind and good eyesight. Once, they went to a village to buy pigs, and there was a family whose pigs were to be sold. With a very low weight, when Zhang Weimin and his son were secretly thinking about taking advantage, Tan Yuanhai quietly pulled Zhang Weimin aside. "Uncle, this pig may be a sick pig. Go and have a look again, and you won't have any energy at all."

The happy Zhang Weimin did not take a closer look at the pig. After listening to Tan Yuanhai's words, Zhang Weimin, who had read countless pigs, took a closer look and really saw the problem. Although the pig had a big skeleton, it was very thin and not in good spirits. There are still needle holes in the ear, which is obviously a sick pig. If you buy it back and lock it up with other pigs, it will infect other pigs with the disease.Zhang Weimin was secretly afraid, and finally did not buy the sick pig.

When buying pigs, some villagers thought it was troublesome to weigh them, and it is common to estimate that selling pigs.Estimating the weight of a pig is a technical task. If the estimation is not good, it may be ten kilograms more or less.As time went by, Tan Yuanhai's estimation ability became more and more accurate.At most, the difference was only one or two kilograms. Gradually, the villagers in the four townships and eight miles knew that there was a young man who estimated the weight of the pig accurately, and everyone believed him.

Most of the time, Tan Yuanhai helped Zhang Weimin and his grandfather go to Bali in the four townships to buy pigs, and bought as many pigs as they could. After they bought them, they kept them in Zhang Xiaoxiao’s old house in their village. Early the next morning, the three of them The people got up to kill the pigs, and then transported the slaughtered pork to the county town for Mama Zhang and Grandma Zhang to sell. In the afternoon, the three of them went to buy pigs again.With the help of Tan Yuanhai, a right-hand man, Zhang Xiaoxiao's family has to kill four pigs every day.That is to say, a net income of more than 300 per day.It was equivalent to two years' wage income of a worker at that time.

For the convenience of buying pigs, Zhang Weimin bought a tractor.Whether it is buying pigs or selling pork, it is much easier.

That day, because there were ten pigs in stock in the pigsty, Grandpa and Dad didn't go to buy any more pigs. They took Tan Yuanhai off for a day and asked him to come back the next day, but he came back in the afternoon.

Zhang Xiaoxiao is very strange. "Tan Yuanhai, didn't I give you a day off?"

Tan Yuanhai blushed. "I'm used to being here. When I go home, the work I do is harder and more tiring than here. Moreover, I can't even eat enough."

"So, you haven't had enough for lunch, so I'll make it for you now, and you can look after the stall for me."

Tan Yuanhai nodded.

Zhang Xiaoxiao fried a large plate of fried rice with eggs and a cabbage soup in a short while.

With the delicious pickles, Tan Yuanhai swept away all of them in one go.

Tan Yuanhai touched his mouth and said, "Zhang Xiaoxiao, why are all the meals you cook so delicious? Even a bowl of noodles is so delicious. After eating your meals, I can't get used to other people's meals. gone."

"I'm going to take leave soon. After I take leave, I won't have time to cook every day, so what should I do?" Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at Tan Yuanhai, who had turned white and gained weight since coming here, and intentionally tease him.

"Auntie's cooking is also delicious." Tan Yuanhai said quickly.

"Isn't my grandma's cooking delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's delicious, grandma's cooking is delicious, and your family's cooking is delicious." Tan Yuanhai was so embarrassed that he was about to sweat.

"Okay, our family's food is delicious. Just work in our family for a few more years. Our family not only cooks delicious food, but also does a good business. When you save a little money and gain some experience, go do it yourself. My own, this era, is a good time to make money. The ultimate goal of studying is not to have a good future. You don’t study anymore, but as long as you make money and live a good life, it’s no worse than studying.”

"Zhang Xiaoxiao, you are the smartest and most knowledgeable person I have ever met. How do you know so much?"

"You are too proud. Some things are not only learned in class, but more carefully in life, and you will find that there is learning everywhere in life."

Tan Yuanhai nodded. "It's the right time for me to come to your house to work. You are a once-in-a-lifetime good teacher."
