Chapter 361 No more waiting
Jiang Xia woke up at seven o'clock. When she was getting dressed, she took a quick look and thought of last night...
Stop it in time!
Today the new house started laying floor tiles, and a new master was hired. She had to go and have a look, so she quickly dressed up and left the room.
Zhou Chengsen is having breakfast.
"Second brother, morning." Jiang Xia greeted.
"Morning." Zhou Chengsen responded vaguely.
Every afternoon these days, after finishing his work, he would come back to renovate and paint the boat.
If you really buy a boat, how can you ignore everything? He is still the one who is annoyed.
Li Xiuxian has to stay in the town to take care of the children. Her off-duty hours are not as flexible as his, and there is no point in her coming back. It will only cause trouble, so he will come back by himself.
It's a little quieter when you go home!
He emptied the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, then took the bowl and went out to clean it. He said to Zhou's mother: "Mom, I'm going back to work."
"Okay! Be careful on the road. Today Will you be back late?" Mother Zhou asked as she cooked sweet potato dregs for the chickens in the kitchen.
"I won't go back tonight, I'll go back Saturday night."
The boat has been painted, so it's not easy to come back and disturb the family all the time.
Zhou Chengsen replied, pushed his bicycle out of the yard and went to work.
After breakfast, Jiang Xia spoke to Zhou’s mother and went to the new house to watch the workers laying floor tiles.
My grandfather didn’t know how to lay and install floor tiles, so Zhou Chenglei asked Zhang Rong to find workers.
In order to complete the project as soon as possible, we hired three tiling masters to lay the bricks on the three floors together.
Jiang Xia put a basket of freshly cooked sweet potatoes on a small bench for the master to eat, and asked by the way: "Master, how many days will it take to lay the ground?"
Master: "Your house has two bathrooms. It will take about five or six days."
My great-grandfather is helping me and learning from me.
Zhou Yongguo followed his father to the sea.
After adding tung oil, Father Zhou sailed the big ship out to sea.
This time Father Zhou planned to stay in the sea longer and not return home until the winter solstice, and then he would stop going to sea before the year before.
Zhou Chenglei asked Zhou Yongguo whether he wanted to go out to sea with a big ship, or stay in the village and drive a small boat to go to sea with him.
Zhou Yongguo chose to go to the open sea. He could make more money and see more things by going to the open sea.
Jiang Xia walked from the first floor to the third floor, gave the master some hot sweet potatoes, then left the new house and went to her great-grandma's house.
He Xinghuan and his wife are making spicy fish lobsters.
It’s the end of the year, and the Marquis has ordered a lot of small fish, as well as the station, publishing house, textile factory and plastic factory.
Recently, He Xinghuan and her great-grandmother have been making little fish pies every day.
This little fish has never stopped, and the business is getting better and better. The Marquis wants more and more goods, and other dealers are also coming to his door.
Previously, Zhou Yongguo borrowed the tractor of the production team to send the prepared fish larvae to the city. Now that Zhou Yongguo is going to sea, Zhou Chenglei will send it there.
The two saw Jiang Xia coming in and hurriedly said: "There is a lot of oil smoke here, why did you come in? Get out quickly." Jiang Xia smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll just stay for a while and tell you something."
He Xinghuan quickly moved a bamboo chair for Jiang Xia to sit on, and her family also knew that she was having a baby.
My grandma asked: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xia: "I thought of a way to make money. It won't be too hard. I think it's suitable for my grandpa and you to do it."
My great-grandmother asked curiously: "What's the profit?" The best way to make money."
Jiang Xia: "It is to rent a shop near the school, or rent a classroom in the school to open a canteen, selling some small books and snacks. It is best to rent a classroom in the school. …”
Jiang Xia analyzed it carefully with her two grandmothers.
“I may not earn much in the past few years, but I definitely earn more than two yuan a day. And as everyone’s life gets better and better, we will earn more and more in the future. Another advantage is that When running a student business, there are many holidays. You can take one or two days off every week. There are also summer vacations, winter vacations, and busy farm holidays. You can also take care of your family's land, and you can earn more than I’ve done a lot of plastering work, but it’s not so tiring.”
My grandma also thought it was good! I’ll let your grandpa rent a classroom tomorrow. It just so happens that the principal of the school is your grandpa’s former classmate. Why didn’t we think of this good way to make money before? The canteen in the village bought a TV just one year after it opened! I heard that a new two-and-a-half-story building was being built! House. It must be very profitable."
Jiang Xia reminded again: "If you rent a classroom in a school, it is best to cooperate with the school and give some of the money to the school in addition to the rent. It has to be long-term. And when signing a contract, it is best to sign it for ten years. If you have money, you can buy a room near the school. You won’t have to worry about being ransacked by others in the future. As long as the shop is yours, you can open it as you please... If you need help or if you don’t have enough money, you can tell me and I’ll lend you some money. You guys."
My grandma smiled and said, "I'll go and have a look tomorrow. If I don't have enough money, I won't be polite to you."
But it should be enough money. During this period, my son went to the sea and earned almost 4,000 yuan. He also made more than 3,000 yuan from selling small fish larvae. This does not include the wages for building a new house for Xiaoxia and the others. In fact, it is too much. Grandma’s family can be considered a household worth ten thousand yuan, but they haven’t reported it.
Originally, their family planned to build a house later this year, but if there was a way to make money, of course they would open a shop first.
If you have money, when is it bad to build a house?
***
Jiang Xia returned home from her great-grandmother’s house and began to translate.
Nearly twenty days have passed now. Jiang Xia feels fine and does not need to rest in bed anymore.
Throughout the whole day, Jiang Xia took a nap for two hours and made lunch with Zhou’s mother. Then he spent the rest of the time translating for two hours and resting for one hour.
It was quiet at home and surprisingly efficient. I translated a Russian document of more than 100 pages in one day.
For the next two days, Zhou Chenglei went to sea while Jiang Xia rested at home and translated.
Until Sunday morning, Jiang Xia got up with Zhou Chenglei.
The paint on the new boat she bought today is dry and it is ready to go into the sea. She also wants to take a look.
The weather has obviously warmed up in the past two days, and it is no longer cold after the sun comes out, so Zhou Chenglei agreed.
Zhou Chengsen’s family also came back last night, because their boat also went to sea today.
Zhou Chengsen came back specially to take his father-in-law and brother-in-law out to sea for a day to let them get familiar with each other.
At 6:30 in the morning, the family came to the pier and waited for fifteen minutes, but still did not see Father Li and the others coming.
Tian Caihua said dissatisfied: "Why does it take so long?"
Li Xiuxian: "It's almost! It should be soon!"
Zhou Chengsen said: "Brother, fourth brother, you go to sea first! No need to wait!"
Zhou Chenglei nodded: "Okay, let's go to the sea first. When they come, you can go there!" >
So Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin each drove a boat and went to sea!
Li Xiuxian stretched her neck anxiously.
