My courtyard shelter

Early the next morning, the eldest son and his family of three came to the courtyard as usual, but this time, Xu Bin didn't stay long before leaving alone.

He found a small decoration company and made an appointment to come and inspect the shop at ten o'clock in the morning.

When I arrived at my shop, I waited not long before the owner of the decoration company arrived. His surname was Liu, and he was accompanied by two employees.

"Boss Liu, my request is very simple. Open up the two shops, and then separate a small single room of 20 square meters in the southeast corner. Paint the remaining walls and check the wires. That's about it."

Xu Bin introduced.

"Mr. Xu, where is the doorman? We can also do the doorman."

Business is not doing well right now, so Boss Liu wants to take on more work and earn a little bit. .

"Can you make an LED display?"

"It's possible, but the price is a bit expensive."

Xu Bin asked: "How much does a set cost?"

"The better ones cost 20,000 to 30,000, and the cheaper ones cost over 10,000."

"Why is it so expensive?" Xu Bin asked in surprise.

"There is no way. This thing has been discontinued a long time ago. Now I can only go to the second-hand market to buy it. The market price is there and it can't be cheaper."

"Forget it."

Xu Bin immediately gave up the idea. Instead of spending money on this, it would be better to get a small blackboard and put it at the door. The effect should not be much different.

Boss Liu was a little disappointed. If this order was completed, he would earn at least three thousand yuan.

"Mr. Xu, don't you think about it again? If you trust me, I can help you get a cheaper set, which can cost you seven or eight thousand."

"It's expensive at seven or eight thousand, so I won't consider it." Xu Bin shook his head, "Let's continue talking about the door. What kind of door can you make here? Do you have any reference photos?"

"Yes, I have pictures on my phone. They are all orders we have taken before. You can choose any style you want."

Xu Bin took the other party's phone, then looked through it, and quickly selected a door that looked very pleasing to the eye.

This is a wooden door head, which is cheap and easy to install.

"Just choose this one!"

Boss Liu gave a wry smile. As expected, the other party chose the cheapest model. If it was an aluminum-plastic panel or an acrylic panel, the price would be at least five or six times higher.

"Okay, do you need a design plan here? If not, we can also help with the design."

Xu Bin bowed his hands and took out his mobile phone. As for the style of the door, his daughter had already designed it for him.

Xu Jingyi majored in journalism, and the professional course covered GG design. It was just a doorstep, and it was a piece of cake.

"Apple Digital Technology? What a great name!"

Boss Liu praised.

Seriously, why did Xu Jingyi choose such a name?

First, because it is simple, easy to remember and catchy;

The second is to ride on the popularity. Anyway, this giant went bankrupt and reorganized last year. It is said that it was caused by a shortage of parts. This is the disadvantage of production outsourcing.

"Hey, my daughter got it. It was said that it was a big brand before!" Xu Bin said proudly.

"It's true. With such a good name, it's hard for your store to become popular!"

Boss Liu boasted.

"Haha, I'll lend you some good words."

Seeing that the other party was happy, Boss Liu carefully probed:

"Mr. Xu, do you still need a counter in your store?"

Xu Bin was quite surprised: "You do this too?"

"Of course! Alas, the current economic difficulties mean that the company can't make any money, so it can only try its best to expand its business. After all, there are still more than a dozen employees to support!"

Boss Liu put on a crying face.

"Okay, I'll give it to you together. How do you calculate the price?"

Xu Bin was originally a straight-tempered person who valued face very much and was not too bad-hearted. He had a personality that did not allow others to suffer misfortune.

"Don't worry, I have a car here, and at most I'll earn you a little shipping fee. It's an absolutely honest price."

"You have to give me a number, right?"

Xu Bin was not very satisfied, mainly because he was afraid of being cheated.

"Mr. Xu, let's do this. I'll help you design the store first when I go back. We'll buy the counters directly based on the design plan, and then we'll discuss the price. What do you think?"

Xu Bin felt that what the other party said was reasonable, so he agreed.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"thanks, thanks……"

Next, Xu Bin followed the other party back to the company, and then the two parties initialed a decoration contract.

In addition to the counter fee, the total of other costs is less than 20,000 yuan, mainly because the labor cost is cheap.

In addition, the construction period is also very short. Boss Liu patted his chest and promised that it could be completed in three days at most.

…

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yanjing South Railway Station.

Xu Bin never expected that his brother-in-law would be so anxious, and he came with the child just one day later.

"Uncle, we are here."

Xu Jingyi had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly waved to her uncle and cousin.

Tan Aimin immediately squeezed over with his son.

Xu Bin and his wife stepped forward to take over their luggage. They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. The father and son seemed to have lost weight again, but they were still in good spirits.

"Hello, aunt, uncle, cousin!"

Tan Bangxiang quickly said hello.

Tan Aifang pulled her nephew to her and couldn't help complaining, "Why are you so thin? You weren't this thin last time I went back!"

"Sister, Bangxiang has no education, so he can only do hard labor with me. There's nothing I can do about it. Who told him not to study hard?

If he had half of Jingyi's grades, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. This kid knows he regrets it now, but it's too late."

Tan Ai sighed.

"It's not too late, why should it be too late? As long as you work hard, you can succeed anywhere." Tan Aifang comforted her hurriedly.

After hearing this, Tan Bangxiang immediately assured his aunt:

"Aunt, I'm not afraid of hardship."

"Good boy, you don't have to suffer when you come to your aunt, as long as you work hard and make progress."

Tan Bangxiang nodded seriously.

He heard from his parents that his uncle's family seemed to be prosperous, and helping his uncle work might be a good way out.

The young man has suffered too much in the past few years. He really doesn't want to live the life he used to live. Not only is the work hard and tiring, but he is also often discriminated against by outsiders. He is angry just thinking about it.

No matter what, staying in Yanjing is better than staying in Luyang.

Seeing that they were talking endlessly, Xu Bin interrupted them and said, "Okay, it's getting late. If we don't leave now, there will be no more taxis!"

"Let's go home first."

The train station is not far from Jingzhi Garden, only about two kilometers away. The group took two taxis and arrived home in less than ten minutes.

"Aimin, Bangxiang, come in."

Tan Aimin carefully looked at the furnishings in the house and couldn't help but praise:

"Sister, your house is nice!"

"What's nice? It's a rented house, not a bought one. A house in the city costs at least tens of millions. Your brother-in-law and I can't afford it even if we don't eat or drink for a lifetime."

"Ahem!" Xu Bin coughed quickly: "Jingyi's grandfather said that he would buy a big house for our family in the future. This is just a transitional house."

"Sister, you and your brother-in-law are going to enjoy life."

Tan Aimin said with envy.

Tan Aifang waved her hand: "What kind of blessing is this? The company at home still owes the bank tens of billions. If you want to live in a new house, you don't know when you will have to wait!"

When Tan Aimin and his son heard that there were tens of billions, they were stunned instantly. Not to mention tens of billions, even millions of dollars would be an astronomical figure for them.

Xu Bin was very upset that his wife was spoiling the show, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only invite everyone to sit down and eat.

Tan Aifang had already prepared dinner and was keeping it warm in the steamer. There were five dishes and one soup in total.

There were two meat dishes, one was braised salted fish, and the other was stir-fried dried shrimp with green peppers; the three vegetarian dishes were scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried lettuce, and Chinese cabbage stewed with tofu.

The soup was kelp egg soup, and the staple food was rice.

Seeing such a sumptuous dinner, Tan Aimin and his son couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva. It turned out that he was rich and ate so well.

Xu Bin took out a bottle of Maotai wine from the cabinet:

"Aimin, Bangxiang, do you want to drink a couple of cups?"

Tan Aimin waved his hand quickly: "No, I have to get up early to catch the train tomorrow morning!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not easy to come to Yanjing, why don't you play for a few days before going back?" Tan Aifang advised.

"I can't play, I only took one day off, and if I go back late, I won't have work."

Tan Aimin said helplessly.

"If you lose your job, you can just find another one!"

"Sister, it's not as easy as you think. There are not many job opportunities in Luyang. I found this job after many connections. It would be a pity to lose it.

If the mother of the child didn't agree, I would have wanted to go to Huaiyi. The coal mine there is recruiting people. I heard that the salary can be 10,000 yuan a month."

Tan Aifang was anxious when she heard it: "You can't go even if you make 10,000 yuan a month. Are you stupid? Coal mines are so dangerous. Miaomiao is still so young. If you have an accident, what will happen to this family?"

"Aimin, your sister is right. You can't do anything." Xu Bin helped persuade.

"Bangxiang is an adult. With him, the family will not fall apart! Besides, even if I really have an accident, the mine will also have compensation, which is enough for the three of them to live for ten years. It's worth it."

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Our family hasn't reached that stage yet." Tan Aifang showed the momentum of an elder sister.

Tan Aimin smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, I'm just thinking about it, I don't plan to go."

"It's no good even to think about it."

Xu Jingyi saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly interrupted, "Dad, Mom, uncle, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating."

Xu Bin echoed.

Although Tan Aimin and his son tried their best to restrain themselves, they still ate too much for the meal, but fortunately the food was light, so there was no need to worry about stomach discomfort.

After the meal, Tan Aimin took out a gift box from his luggage and handed it to his niece.

"Jingyi, I heard that you went to work at a newspaper, and my uncle has a gift for you."

"Uncle, no need."

Xu Jingyi quickly declined.

"Take it, this is a gift from your uncle and aunt."

Tan Aimin put the box in his niece's hand.

Xu Jingyi glanced at her mother, while Tan Aifang smiled and said, "Since it's your uncle who gave it to you, you should accept it!"

"Thank you, uncle!"
