These days, with Xiu'er helping Zhang Fangfen cook and cook for the ten or twenty craftsmen and Huang Han's family of five, Zhang Fangfen feels a lot more relaxed.

At noon on July 9th, Xiu'er was cooking and unexpectedly met her sister Yu'er.

Since her sister left home, Yu'er, who followed Xiu'er all day long, has lost her backbone, and her days are almost like years.

Finally she couldn't bear it anymore, so she left a note for Zhang Yugen in the morning and secretly went to the street to find Xiu'er.

Yu'er heard from her father and knew that the house her eldest aunt bought was not far from the bus station. She also knew that her eldest aunt's house was probably being built, so she found it without much trouble.

Seeing her sister who was busy, she, who was not yet twenty years old, was overjoyed and said loudly, "Sister, I'm here!"

Xiu'er, who was startled, looked surprised and asked, "Yu'er, why are you here? Where is your father?"

"Dad didn't come, I came by myself!"

Xiu'er immediately understood and cursed, "You damn girl! You must have sneaked into the street. You're going to scare your father to death!"

"No, no, I wrote a note and put it on the table in the main room. Dad can see it at a glance!"

"What's the use of seeing it? Believe it or not, it won't take long for dad to come after me! I think you are going to be beaten."

"As long as I don't get beaten to death, it's worth it. I don't want to work in the production team anymore. When I saw my eldest aunt, I told her that I would stay here and work for free, as long as I have food and shelter."

Zhang Fangfen is very confident about Xiu'er and thinks that Xiu'er is no worse at work than her. Today, she took time to go to the second-hand store with Huang Daozhou to buy a table and a bench.

They were lucky. There happened to be two old square tables on consignment in the store. Although they were not as good as those left by the original landlord, Mr. Huang, they looked pretty good.

The two men lifted it and found that it was very heavy. They estimated that the wood should not be too bad.

A square table is basically equipped with four stools. This is a set.

Zhang Fangfen bargained with others and bought two square tables and eight benches for thirty-two yuan.

The director of the thrift store found it strange because it was rare to see anyone buying two sets of square tables at once.

After Huang Daozhou handed the director a cigarette, the two started chatting. Only then did the director know that Huang Daozhou's family was planning to open a restaurant. After selling two cigarettes, it was not enough, and he had to buy four or five.

This thrift store is unique in Sanshui County. The cost of long-distance transportation is too high these days. It is impossible for ordinary people to take furniture with them when they move due to work changes.

There are many people who ask thrift stores to sell their stuff, and if the store can't accept it, there will be a record left.

The director stated on the spot that he would send several people to visit him in the next two days. If he felt that there was something similar to the two tables and stools today, he would send it directly to Huang Daozhou's home.

I estimate that within a few days, there will definitely be four or five tables.

Tables and stools are definitely needed. At least eight tables must be set up on the opening day.

Spending money on tables and stools is still money, Huang Daozhou expressed his position on the spot, as long as the quality and wood are similar, he will pay 16 yuan for a set.

Huang Han had just arrived at the door of his house on Chengwenge's bicycle. Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen came back with two handymen pushing carts from the second-hand shop to deliver square tables and benches.

Thrift stores often have to transport furniture. They have four handymen, a tricycle and two pallet trucks. Delivering goods to customers does not necessarily cost money, but the goods must be delivered to customers after negotiating a price.

Zhang Fangfen is careful in her work, so of course she negotiated with others to provide free shipping.

Huang Han looked at the table and bench and said with a smile, "Mom, this kind of table is strong and won't be broken after decades of use."

This is the truth. Huang Han still has a set of this kind of table in his home. It is an old item bought by Zhang Fangfen. Although it is not an antique or a precious wood, it is very heavy. It has been used for nearly thirty years and has not been damaged at all. .

Zhang Fangfen said happily, "It's too troublesome to make it now, and we don't have enough time, so I'll discuss buying second-hand goods with your father!"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, the new one won't last more than a few days, it's the same thing, just be sure!"

"Auntie, uncle is back."

When Yu'er saw Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen, she immediately ran over to call for help, feeling a little nervous.

She was worried that her eldest aunt would not let her stay to help open the store.

Zhang Fangfen and Huang Daozhou said with a smile, "Yu'er is here, good! Where is your father?"

"Dad didn't come, I came alone!"

Zhang Fangfen was surprised and said, "You walked here alone!"

"Yeah! I also want to work here and don't want to go home!"

Zhang Fangfen and Huang Daozhou looked at me and I looked at you, and for a moment they didn’t know what to say.

Seeing this, Huang Han smiled and said, "Great, sister Yu'er, you are welcome to come to my house to help.

Don’t go back again, and you don’t have to worry about gossip in the brigade, the county is working on joint production contracting, and all rural people will be free in a few days!”

Yu'er said, "Really? You are so young, how could you know such a big thing!"

"Hey! I know the biggest cadre in the county and heard what he said with my own ears!"

"No wonder my dad said you are very smart!"

"From now on, you will help me at my house, and I will pay you the same salary as your salary. You can do it as long as you don't want to."

Seeing that Huang Daozhou hadn't spoken yet, Huang Han finished his words and followed the trend and said, "Since you are here, don't go back. This is good, it will save Xiu'er from being too lonely!"

Seeing that her eldest uncle said the same thing, Yu'er was completely relieved and said sweetly, "Thank you, eldest uncle, I knew you were willing to keep me."

At this moment, he saw Zhang Yugen, who was running in a hurry and sweating profusely. When he saw Yu'er, he was so angry that he took off his shoes and was about to beat Yu'er.

Huang Han reacted quickly and hugged Zhang Yugen's arms with both hands and said, "Uncle, uncle, don't do anything. This is on the street. When people see it, they think something big has happened!"

This sentence reminded Zhang Yugen, who was furious, and he said, "Damn girl, you want to go to heaven? I, I was so anxious that my heart was bleeding, you, come in with me!"

How could Yu'er dare to follow Zhang Yugen into the house at this time? She hid behind Huang Daozhou and said, "My eldest uncle has promised me to stay and help! I don't want to go back to the production team. Even if you beat me to death, I won't go back."

Huang Daozhou quickly pulled Zhang Yugen with a smile and said

"When you see Yu'er, there's nothing to worry about. Just calm down and let's go inside and have a glass of wine. There are ready-made meals at home."

Zhang Yugen was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat when he saw the little girl missing in the morning. He immediately ran to the county seat when he saw the note on the table.

He had been worried about Yu'er's fate. He walked and ran all the way, and now he felt weak.

Huang Han said, "Uncle, my family is thinking of asking Station Master Qian to bring you a message, asking you to send Sister Yu'er to the store to help someday! It's better this time, so I don't have to trouble Station Master Qian!"

Yu'er saw that Zhang Yugen's expression had softened a lot and she looked at Huang Han gratefully. She did not dare to speak at this time.
