At eight o'clock the next morning, Zhang Fangfen asked Zhang Jusheng, Cheng Yunxia, ​​and Zhang Jisheng, who were going to the hardware company store to buy bicycles, to wait for a while.

Then he called Qi Xiu'er, Yu'er, and Yulan's three nieces and cousins, and announced

"You three children work hard. You get up early and take care of yourself every night, and you don't care about anything.

I have seen all this. How can I, an eldest aunt, let your hard work go in vain? I will reward you with money today.

I work fairly and everyone is rewarded 50 cents a day, Xiuer deserves 98 yuan..."

Taking care of food and housing, the food is much better than at home, the living is more comfortable than at home, and they can get thirty yuan in cash a month. For these three girls, it is a step to the sky.

They really had no other extravagant wishes. Suddenly they heard that there was so much money as a reward and it was immediately given to them. The three girls were so happy that they felt dizzy.

In addition to fifty cents, Xiu'er and the others could get one and a half yuan for a day's work. Even Cheng Yunxia, ​​who followed him to the Northeast, was envious.

Cheng Yunxia didn't go to do some small work, but to help with the cooking. This time when she returned home, the couple settled their wages for more than a thousand yuan.

In order to save money, I eat cabbage and tofu all day long at the construction site, and I can't eat meat even once a week.

No one is mistreating anyone, but the construction workers in Sanshui County all come to the Northeast to endure hardships with the purpose of making money to take home. If they spend too much on food, they will have less money to take home before the New Year.

Cheng Yunxia's job at the construction site in Northeast China is to cook and wash clothes. The salary is of course not high, only one yuan and twenty cents a day, but fortunately she can accompany her husband.

Hard work is an appropriate word to describe the earliest construction workers from Sanshui County who went to Northeast China. Even Cheng Yunxia, ​​who does not do heavy physical work, felt hungry because there was no oil or water in her stomach.

She had talked a lot with Xiu'er and the others in the past two days, and knew that they were eating well while working in her aunt's shop. They had so much meat every day that they were tired of eating meat.

This is no lie. You can eat meat every time, but only a few pieces. The three girls have been here for more than half a year. When they first came here, they could eat big fat meat, but now they don't touch a piece.

Zhang Jisheng worked so hard in the Northeast that he could only earn about 60 yuan a month. It was so hard that it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as "eating people and working on animals."

Seeing the work his sisters did every day, he thought it was good to get thirty yuan, but now it turned out to be forty-five yuan a month.

Zhang Jisheng sighed, "I am a good boy, and my eldest aunt is also very kind to my sisters."

Zhang Jusheng said, "My eldest aunt has always been generous. She used to be so poor, and she didn't lose her share of money no matter where she worked."

"Yeah! My sister is lucky to be able to follow my eldest aunt."

Cheng Yunxia said, "If I hadn't taken care of you, I would have stayed at my aunt's house as a waiter!"

Zhang Jusheng knew that his wife loved to act petty and would lose face at every turn. This personality might not be suitable for being a waiter, so he said, "Come on! How can you serve others? You can't do this job!"

"Looking down on people? What's the point? Just keep your temper!"

When Zhang Yulan received the 112 yuan in advance of this month's salary, she was so excited that she burst into tears.

Zhang Yufeng, who had money in her hand, reacted even faster and asked quickly

"Auntie, do you know if Huang Han still has a bicycle ticket? I also want to buy a 'Phoenix Brand' Type 26 bicycle."

"Woo... Auntie, I want it too!" Zhang Yulan said quickly.

This child is taciturn and timid, and is a dispensable presence at home. He sheds tears very loosely, and even when he feels wronged, he can't help but cry when he is happy.

Huang Han has already reserved enough bicycle tickets for Zhang Fangfen.

The purpose of giving money to Xiuer today is to enable them to get what they want.

Zhang Fangfen said with a smile, "Originally I planned to give you the money the day before the hotel holiday, but now that I know you are all enthusiastic about buying bicycles, I decided to give it to you in advance.

The bicycle ticket is on me, whether you want a 'permanent ticket' or a 'Phoenix ticket', I have it."

"Wow! That's great, thank you, auntie." The three girls immediately jumped up holding hands, and they were all so excited that they burst into tears.

The top leader of the county party committee takes the lead in organizing the supply of goods. How can the hardware company lag behind?

Not only are the goods readily available, but the service attitude is much better than before.

When Zhang Fangfen brought her nephew and niece to the hardware company store to buy bicycles, the person who received them was an acquaintance, the store manager Wang Yu's father.

Therefore, Xiu'er and Zhang Jisheng really enjoyed the warm service and experienced the first pleasant shopping experience in their lives without being embarrassed by anyone.

The next day, Zhang Jusheng, his wife and Zhang Jisheng went back. They rode two 28-type "Forever Brand" bicycles and looked around with their heads held high along the way, like victorious generals.

In fact, they should have ridden three bicycles back, but unfortunately Cheng Yunxia couldn't ride a bicycle, so they had to leave one "permanent brand" behind and store it at Huang Han's house.

After Zhang Jisheng and the others returned home in a happy mood, dozens of people immediately came to watch the fun. Everyone was coveting the "Forever Brand" bicycle, but they all knew that the bicycle was not cheap and they had to plan the fare.

The fifth child, Zhang Qiusheng, couldn't sit still at that time. He still walks to the processing factory in the town to work as a lathe, a round trip of more than ten miles! He really needs a bicycle.

He had saved more than 100 yuan, but he couldn't buy a bicycle because he couldn't get a bicycle ticket.

He asked many colleagues and acquaintances in the brigade, but there has been no news yet.

I heard from Xiao Liuzi that Huang Han was very capable, and he actually went directly to the top officials in the county to get several bicycle tickets, including the most in-demand "Phoenix" and "Forever" tickets. How could he waste time?

As a result, Zhang Jisheng and Zhang Jusheng hit the road again the next morning, with Zhang Qiusheng and Zhang Yugen on the back seats of their bicycles respectively.

It's already winter, and farmers who have divided their fields into households no longer need to organize brigade or production teams to work as foreign workers. They have plenty of time during the slack period!

If you want to go out on the street, of course you can just leave without asking anyone for leave.

Zhang Yugen also brought a sack of peanuts harvested from his own plot.

Life is getting better now, and Zhang Fangfen's family has a place to live. Zhang Yugen, who loves watching movies, always comes once or twice a month, usually in the afternoon and returns early the next morning.

This time, they arrived at the "Things Come Out Restaurant" before ten o'clock. At this time, Zhang Fangfen and Xiu'er had no time to sit down and chat.

Because customers have already reserved six tables, it can be estimated that all twelve tables will be full at noon, and maybe two or three tables will be "turned over".

The business of "Shi Jing Cheng Restaurant" is indeed very good during this period. In fact, it is not only the business of "Shi Jing Cheng Hotel" that is good, but also other state-owned and collective restaurants.

That's because more and more people are coming back from other places, and many of them are working part-time and earning some money back home.

"Wealth that does not return home is like walking at night in brocade clothes!" Even if he is "eating on people and doing livestock work" on a construction site, and living frugally in other places, he will always be generous and invite friends to have a drink when he returns home.

.

Drinking? Where is the best place to go in Sanshui County? Of course it is "The Things Can Be Done"!

Therefore, after New Year's Day, there is not a single day when "Shi Jing Cheng Hotel" is not full of guests. Many people who want to treat guests come in advance to pay a deposit and reserve a table at a certain time.

Zhang Yugen was happy to see that his sister's business was so good. He didn't regard himself as an outsider. He rolled up his sleeves and helped kill the black fish...

Happy New Year, book friends, I wish you all good luck, promotion and wealth, good health, and all your dreams come true! Don’t forget to vote for it! Thank you!
