Chapter 159 The aftermath before going to school
Although it is not a big item like a motorcycle and the audience is much narrower, the demand may be greater. This guy has only been here three weeks and he has already brought it to the steel rolling mill. With the three products gone like this, Director Yang felt sour in his heart.
"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 five years later? "
"I have a feeling that this kid, even though he is young, always gives me a sense of hope for the next few years. It's like there's an arrangement."
"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. I rewarded him two thousand yuan without looking at you. He turned around and returned the two drawings."
"I really don't know what is going on in this kid's mind, why he always has weird thoughts."
...
I have completed all the procedures for leaving the factory, and I have only been here three weeks. He just left, especially when he just won the grand prize. Everyone was very surprised. If he had stayed in the factory, the road ahead would be much easier. The steel rolling mill was a place that countless people couldn't even come 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 will come back when I have time. Don't let me in then."
"Okay, get out of here, get away from me. I get annoyed when I see you."
He whispered again, "The report has been handed in."
Bearing goodbye to Section Chief Ma, Zhu Xuefeng rode away in a hurry. The short days of driving screws were over.
…
It was so early to go home today. 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 young children. The daughter-in-law chatted in the shade of the tree.
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 grain has also been returned door to door. It is peaceful, and I will keep Zhu Xuefeng busy in the future. Speak up, 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 changed to making furniture. Zhu Xuefeng provided 500 yuan, which is considered as the starting capital for purchasing materials.
The wages for the renovation have also been settled in advance. Even today, the wages for the kitchen help have been settled. Each family is more than ten yuan, but the third aunt is very happy. For the first time in so many years, she has earned it by herself. So much money.
"My boss, this cellar will be finished in a while. Tomorrow, the third child will come over and replace the door, and it will be completed."
"It's really troublesome for you. I have made many requests, Uncle Xue. This 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, with a total of twenty-four 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 spit out a long breath, slowly, looking into the distance, 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 get a job 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 be spread for this small piece. We have to think about it for a long time."
Uncle Xue was still complacent just now, but this situation has opened up. Very quickly, he turned around and was woken up by Zhu Xuefeng pouring a basin of cold water on him.
The neighborhood is done with it. 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 people who want to come.
“You 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 long time before Uncle Xue left with the finished craftsmen.
"Brother, have you finished speaking?"
The little girl's voice came from the room. She and He Yuyu were making up lessons in the south wing. They were so impatient. They all knew that Zhu Xuefeng would be early today. return.
“What’s the matter?”
Zhu Xuefeng patted his butt and stood up.
"Second uncle sent someone to send a message. We are not open in your room. Brother, you can see for yourself."
I have only been back for less than a month, what can happen? , the letter was not sealed, so I took out the letter and looked at it. There was nothing in it. It 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, and he is preparing to raise chickens. There are no chicks yet. I want to see results, at least next year.
Then there is the willow root fish that Zhu Xuefeng wants. My second uncle has collected 200 of them. If you want to use them, I 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 I 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 never got 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 twenty yuan. I guess his second uncle would have to celebrate in the village, so let him go. 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 is ready at home, so I won’t go to Sha Zhu’s house to cook. However, He Yuyu will come over to eat dinner together. Sha Zhu is busy preparing dishes during this period and is addicted to it. He comes back late every day. I heard The demand is 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 was bored with the 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 by 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 people were a lot darker, but he didn't catch many fish. strip.
"Brother, I'm back. Look, I caught two more."
The little guy was quite excited, and both of them were less than two taels.
"Throw it in the water tank, wash it, tell Sister Yuyu and the little sister to eat, everything is ready."
"Oh"
After dinner, we went to Uncle Zou At home, I asked about the teacher-appreciation banquet. According to Uncle Zou, this tradition has existed since ancient times. In the nearby compound, no one has gone to college in the past few years. However, no one has organized it, leaving Zhu Xuefeng to take care of it himself.
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 finish arranging them tomorrow. Then he spent two days running around the school. The leaders and all the teachers would like to express their gratitude for their teachings, and that will put an end to their worries.
