Throughout the summer vacation, Shi Zhen ran between construction sites.
When the summer vacation was about to end, Guan Baiyu stopped going to Changxi City again, and stayed with him every day, by the way...doing summer homework.
At this time, the first factory building that Shi Zhen built for people had been completed, and the second factory building had also begun to be built.
The two bosses who asked him to build a factory. The factories they opened, one for chemical fiber production and the other for fabric weaving, were relatively simple and fast to build.
Fang Miyan, also on Shi Zhen's side, worked for over a month.
Shi Zhen's food here is pretty good, Fang Miyan eats here every day, her arms look a little thick, but because she is too dark, she doesn't look fat at all.
However, she was a little familiar with the people on their construction site, but she still didn't talk too much.
Shi Daniu and the others didn't have time to talk to her anymore. They had to work after eating in the morning. After lunch, they would sleep first, take a rest after sleeping, and then work again, so they had no time at all.
Shi Zhen also knew that they were working hard. When the first factory building was built, he gave them five hundred red envelopes each. He also found two people who worked hardest in private, and gave them a red envelope of one hundred per person. as a reward.
Shi Zhen gave them a small amount of wages, but they included room and board, and considerable bonuses. Shi Daniu and the others worked very hard.
Shi Zhen woke up early this morning and found it was raining outside.
On rainy days, most of his construction sites have to be shut down, and he is also automatically on vacation... Shi Zhen was lying on the bed, not in a hurry to get up.
He lay for a long time and waited for Guan Baiyu to come out of the back room before he said, "Xiaoyu, let's go shopping in the town today." He had to visit Shi Dalin and the others.
"Okay." Guan Baiyu said.
Since I'm going to town, I'll just go to town for breakfast.
They got up early and packed up at six o'clock. The two put on their raincoats, rode their bicycles, and went to town.
They first went to the small shop opened by Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin. When the two arrived, Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin were pulling the shutters and preparing to open the shop.
Their store is basically open from six o'clock in the morning until nine o'clock in the evening. Even if the business during the summer vacation is not as good as usual, they will not rest all day.
Seeing Shi Zhen, Zhao Meiyun immediately asked, "Azhen, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet." Shi Zhen smiled.
There are two doors in this store, and sheds are built outside to block the rain. Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu parked the car and locked the lock before entering the store and helping Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun move their things outside. .
Zhao Meiyun said, "I have vermicelli soup, tea eggs, and some instant noodles... Do you want it?"
"Aunt Zhao, just get us some vermicelli soup. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll buy some egg pancakes from Xingxing, and we'll eat it together."
"Hey, if you want to eat egg cake, I'll make it for you, you don't need to go to Xingxing to buy it." Zhao Meiyun said.
Shi Zhen smiled at her, didn't listen to her, held an umbrella, called Guan Baiyu, and went to find Shi Xingxing together.
Shi Xingxing and Zhao Qiujuan set up a stall in one place.
Shi Xingxing's egg cake is very simple, first scoop a spoonful of batter, pour it on the iron plate, hang it up and cook it into a dough cake, put an egg, and finally brush a little sauce, and it's done.
Such egg cakes sell for fifty cents.
Of course, you can add ham or tenderloin to the egg pancake, you can also add eggs, then you have to pay extra.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu passed by early, and they said hello to Zhao Qiujuan, and Shi Zhen said to Shi Xingxing: "Xingxing, prepare me five omelettes, two eggs plus tenderloin."
Shi Xingxing started to do it quickly. Shi Zhen gave her ten yuan, but she refused to accept it: "It's rare for you to come here, so I can't accept your money."
"If you don't accept it, then I won't come next time." Shi Zhen said.
Shi Xingxing received the money, but gave Shi Zhen five yuan, and gave Shi Zhen a little more tenderloin.
That is to say, a luxurious egg pie with two eggs and tenderloin will cost Shi Zhen 1 yuan each.
Shi Zhen took advantage of this cheapness. He gave one to Guan Baiyu, let Guan Baiyu eat it while it was still hot, and went back with five egg cakes, only to see Shi Ting also carrying a schoolbag.
Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin were not at home, and Shi Ting was not willing to stay at home alone, so she followed him to the store every day.
One egg cake per person was just right, and Zhao Meiyun's fan soup was also brought out at this time.
The vermicelli soup that the local people eat, the vermicelli in it is boiled the next day and soaked until the next day, the kind that makes the vermicelli made fat.
This kind of vermicelli is then cooked, and seasonings such as oil and salt are added. When someone buys it, put it in a bowl and sprinkle with chopped green onion, mustard, ham and sausage... The method of vermicelli soup is very simple.
Because the cost of this thing is low, Zhao Meiyun has been preparing it, and there will be people nearby to eat.
As soon as Shi Ting got the vermicelli soup, she started adding vinegar and hot sauce to it, and said to Shi Zhen, "Brother, add a little of both of these, it's very delicious."
Shi Zhen smiled and added some more. This hot sauce is locally produced in Changxi City. It is not spicy at all.
Guan Baiyu only added vinegar. At this moment, he is not good at spicy food.
After breakfast, Shi Zhen learned about Shi Dalin's business and looked at Shi Ting: "Tingting, let me take you to buy some clothes."
Shi Ting grew up late, but recently, her stature has grown rapidly, and her female characteristics have become clear.
Zhao Meiyun prepared a vest for her, but did not buy her underwear... This is something that can't be helped. Zhao Meiyun doesn't wear underwear but only a vest.
As for Zhao Qiujuan's side, Shi Zhen doesn't know much about it. She should be wearing it, but it is definitely not the kind that can modify the curve. It seems that wearing it can flatten the chest.
But he is a man, and it is not easy to say this to others.
However, Shi Ting is his sister, so some things are easier to handle.
Shi Ting is a little fatter and taller, and her clothes are tight, so it's not a problem to wear a vest inside...
Shi Zhen didn't discuss this with Shi Ting. He just took Shi Ting to the upstairs of the vegetable market to find Li Ahui, who is Guan Kai's mother, and asked Li Ahui to find some suitable clothes for Shi Ting, from the inside to the outside. .
Li Ahui and Guan Wenguo divorced and remarried, and she became pregnant not long afterward. Now that the child was born, she originally held the child, but when Shi Zhen and the others came, they put the child in the cradle and picked clothes for Shi Ting.
She looked pretty good, but she gained some weight. While choosing clothes, she also talked to Shi Zhen and asked about Guanjia Village.
Guan Jianguo is still sailing, while Guan Baiyu's adoptive father Guan Guangguo...
After Guan Guangguo lost money in raising chickens in his last life, he stopped raising them and started farming again. Their family never had much money. Later, when Guan Jinjin opened a barber shop, their family caught up with the demolition, and the family became rich.
But this time, it was probably because Shi Zhen paid them back the money they raised for Guan Baiyu. They gritted their teeth and continued to raise chickens in the days when chickens were not selling at a high price.
Then... After many people stopped raising chickens because they didn't make money, the price of chickens started to rise suddenly from March this year.
Guan Guangguo's family has been very active in raising chickens recently, and they even built a shed behind the house to raise chickens.
But Guan Wenguo has nothing to say, he is still sweeping the cement factory.
At the beginning, there were people who introduced him to a partner, and the result... If people don't like Guan Wenguo, the little grandma thinks they are very nice, but when people like Guan Wenguo, she starts to be picky, and the person can't stand the picky and leaves, and she starts to feel bad again. People are fine.
The cycle goes on and on, and Guan Wenguo has not been able to marry another wife now.
Shi Zhen also asked about Li Ahui.
Li Ahui's man rode a bicycle to and from the village selling papyrus popsicles and the like, making a little money.
Because Li Ahui sells clothes upstairs in the vegetable market every day, she has met a lot of people in the vegetable market. Later, she introduced her husband and asked him to worship a pork seller as his master, and follow them to learn how to sell pork.
Now Li Ahui's husband has bought a stall and sells pork himself.
In Shi Zhen's opinion, this job is not bad. In the following years, the population of the town has been increasing, and selling necessities such as pork can always make money.
In the future, there will be supermarkets and online shopping, and the money you will earn from selling pork will be less, but to be honest, for the vast majority of working people at the bottom, changing jobs is nothing.
As long as you are willing to work, in a place with good economic development such as Changxi City... After ten or twenty years, the job is still easy to find.
Shi Zhen bought two clothes for Shi Ting from the inside out.
It's not a big brand, and the price is not expensive, but Shi Ting is very happy, especially after changing into new clothes from the inside to the outside... The more she looks in the mirror, the happier she feels, and she feels like a beautiful big girl!
When she was in a good mood, Shi Ting kept chatting with Shi Zhen.
"You, study hard!" Shi Zhen said.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." Shi Ting patted her chest and assured.
In the village before, all her junior high school classmates were thinking about things like who they would marry after graduation, and some of them even had already agreed.
At that time, she was not in the mood to read.
But when she came here, all her classmates thought about going to high school and secondary school, and Shi Zhen also made a big cake for her, so she wanted to continue studying.
But she has no idea about the future.
Shi Zhen asked her, "Tingting, have you thought about what you will do in the future?"
Shi Ting didn't hesitate: "I didn't think about it."
Shi Zhen said: "Would you like to be a kindergarten teacher? After you graduate from junior high school, you can study as a kindergarten teacher and become a kindergarten teacher in the future. Otherwise, you can study in a health school and become a nurse in the future."
He got news that a kindergarten teacher school and a health school have just been built in Changxi City. They are all secondary schools. Shi Ting can register for the high school entrance examination next year.
Shi Ting's character is very good as a kindergarten teacher. She has a good temper and doesn't get angry with others. In addition, she was willing to have three children in her last life, a large part of the reason is that she really likes children.
As for being a nurse, Shi Ting is perfectly fine, she is very patient.
Such a stable job is also suitable for Shi Ting who has no ambition.
As for the question of whether I can become a graduate... Now there are shortages of people everywhere, so you don't have to worry about finding a job after graduation.
"Brother, I want to be a nurse!" Shi Ting was a little excited: "I want to wear that white dress!"
"Okay." Shi Zhen said.
But Shi Ting quickly said again: "No, it's a bit scary to be a nurse and give people injections. I'd better be a kindergarten teacher, and there are winter and summer vacations."
The public kindergartens in Changxi City all have winter and summer vacations.
"It's up to you, it's your grades, it must not be too bad."
Shi Ting nodded seriously.
A few days later, Guan Baiyu and Shi Ting started school one after another.
The business of Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin also became hot in an instant.
Today, the best pens in their store are Huaguang's ballpoint pens.
Huaguang's ballpoint pens are all beautiful, cheap and expensive, and children like them very much.
And because their home is under the brand of Huaguang, Huaguang has also advertised on local TV stations recently, which has increased its popularity. Many people think it is a good brand, so Huaguang's schoolbags and pencil cases are also selling well. .
Huaguang's schoolbags and pencil cases are of good quality, as for those pens... The refills are imported from abroad, not bad, and the quality of the pen barrels is average, but ballpoint pens are consumables, and nowadays people rarely buy refills for replacement... Everyone used it, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
According to word of mouth, this brand has become more and more famous in Changxi City.
Shi Zhen was very busy, so Shi Dalin couldn't take care of it. Now, Shi Dalin buys the goods himself, and there are many things that don't need him to buy the goods. They will send the goods directly to his store.
Time flies so fast, and it's almost October.
The weather in October has not cooled down completely, Shi Zhen is hot and still wears short sleeves, and at this time, the second factory he built is completed.
Shi Zhen built a house for someone, and the price he offered was not high. It was similar to finding a worker by himself, but he built a house much faster.
He uniformly buys bricks and cement for others, and can also make some money from it.
After these two factories are completed, after removing the red envelopes for Shi Daniu and the others, as well as expenses such as food expenses, the net profit that falls to Shi Zhen adds up to 12,000, although this is a lot of work. It took me a month to earn money, but it's really a lot!
In addition, several other construction sites, each of which can earn him at least four or five thousand.
After all, the people who find him to build a house are rich people. If they are good everywhere, they can make him more money. Ordinary people buy bricks and tiles to build a rough, paint the walls and move in directly. No matter how capable he is, he will Only earn money.
After the factory building was finished, Shi Zhen planned to send Shi Daniu and the others to another construction site.
It was a little closer to Fang's house, but Shi Zhen didn't know where Fang's house was, so he asked Fang Miyan if he wanted to do it.
Fang Miyan did not hesitate: "Yes!"
Shi Zhen said: "Then you can continue to do it... By the way, do you want to buy a bicycle? It's more convenient to go back and forth."
Fang Miyan runs around wearing broken shoes every day. Before she was walking, half of the plastic slippers on her feet had fallen off...
Fang Mi's face did not change, and he left barefoot. Shi Zhen looked at it, but felt a little uncomfortable.
Also, the Jiefang shoes Fang Miyan is wearing now are also very old, and they are obviously not hers. They are too big, so she tied the shoes with ropes...
A girl, living such a rough life, Shi Zhen didn't know what to say.
Fang Miyan said, "I can run faster than a bicycle without using a bicycle."
Okay... Shi Zhen didn't continue this topic.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that Fang Miyan doesn't buy a bicycle.
In her family's situation, she bought a bicycle, fearing that it would not fall into her own hands.
Shi Zhen said: "By the way, Daniel and the others will take two days off before starting work. Can you come to Guanjia Village to cook? Of course you don't have to."
"I can." Fang Miyan agreed that she would lose her job if she didn't go.
"Then come here, Guanjia Village is not far from here..." Shi Zhen told her how to get to Guanjia Village, and then said: "When you arrive at Guanjia Village, you can ask where people send and receive sweaters, and you can find them there. I am."
