Chapter Twenty-Three: Say Goodbye to the Past
"Baojun, I'm thinking, why can't we raise our own workers, pay them wages, cover food and housing, and then let's go to talk to the employer, and contract their work for a long time, it will definitely be more profitable than you go around doing odd jobs now, and there will be no more risk of breaking up, not to mention that as an employer, we are perennial contractors, the price is definitely more cost-effective than them hiring odd jobs, they must be happy!" , After listening to Su Feng's thoughts, Baojun was shocked, he never thought of being a contractor, although he also led everyone to do it before, but he never made a penny on everyone, and now Su Feng said that the method is not exactly what Gong Lao Er falsely spread to everyone!
, Baojun instinctively said that he couldn't accept it, he always believed that since everyone believed in him and was willing to let him negotiate with the employer on their behalf, then he should be frank, and everyone earns strength money, the more capable he is, the more he earns, but he wants to take wages if he wants to use his mouth, or even more, isn't this a poke in the backbone!
After listening to Baojun's concerns, Su Feng was not annoyed, but patiently enlightened him
"Baojun, what we have to do is not the same thing as what Gong Lao Er said, what he said is that when everyone is equal, you go to take benefits from it, it is definitely not authentic, we will definitely not do it, but what we are talking about now is that you come to be the boss, be the contractor, you are responsible for finding work, and then you come to hire people to work, the workers can ensure income in drought and flood, and they can work more and get more, these are two different things, we don't cheat people, and I believe that in this way, the big guy will definitely earn more."
Baojun stared at Su Feng with wide eyes, the woman with light in his eyes in front of him shocked him incomparably, in the past he only thought that Su Feng was a hardworking and kind woman, but now he must admit that Su Feng is a decisive, bold and wise woman.
Looking at the treasure army who was smirking with his head down, Su Feng touched him with his elbow in confusion
"Baojun, what are you smirking at there? Do you think what I said is feasible?", Baojun nodded
"I know why you want to rent such a big house now, I think you can give it a try, then I'll discuss it with everyone now" Saying that, he got up and hurried back to the shed, Su Feng hurriedly grabbed him
"Baojun, I have one more thing to tell you." Baojun sat back on the stool, Su Feng had already impressed him tonight, and he didn't know what other good ideas she had......
"I don't want to use these people anymore, except for Huazi, not one", Baojun said in surprise
"Why, why don't you use it, isn't this a good thing, everyone must agree!", Su Feng shook his head
"I don't want to raise someone who doesn't have the same heart for you," Bao Jun comforted
"Everyone also has a hard time, everyone wants to make more money, you can understand, and there are several people here who we have been together for almost 3 years, and we work quite hard!" Su Feng patiently explained
"Baojun, I know that you are affectionate, but I have heard a little bit about what happened that night, not to mention that what Gong Lao Er said is a shadowless thing, even if it is true, these people can leave you for the sake of not being able to get it, completely regardless of your situation, I don't think they are worth paying, and if the salary is in place, we will not worry about recruiting people who can work", what else does Baojun have to defend, Su Feng continued
"In the future, when we recruit people, I think it is definitely important to work hard or not, but more importantly, we can work together with us and do great things with us...... And ha, I know that your recruitment has not been smooth these days, and there are still five days to go, don't worry, I will go back to the countryside tomorrow, and you and Huazi will move things to the new house one after another in the past few days, and then pick up more coal and stone, the house is too big, and it is estimated that it will not be hot by burning only wood." , Baojun nodded obediently, he began to admire Su Feng for the first time in his heart, he patted Su Feng's arm, signaled her to wait, and then got up to leave, less than 2 minutes, Baojun's came in again, but there was a small red book in his hand, he smiled and threw the book into Su Feng's arms, it will be yours in the future, the 4 big characters of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China are clearly printed on it, seeing Su Feng rubbing back and forth, Baojun said anxiously
"Open it up and take a look!", Su Feng obediently opened it, only to see that there were numbers written on the front and back of the 3 pages, and she smiled bitterly
"I don't have any culture, I can't understand what it is," Baojun explained excitedly
"This is a passbook, it is all my hard-earned money, over the years, I have earned a little money, so I will go to the bank to deposit some, if I am in a hurry, I will take some more, except for the money I usually send home, the rest is on it, a total of three thousand two hundred and nine yuan Lu Mao money, all for you", Su Feng was so frightened that he immediately closed the passbook and handed it to Baojun
"I don't want so much money, I can't ask for it!", Baojun didn't care so much, he didn't take the passbook at all, and continued
"What's given to you is yours, no matter how much I earn in the future, I'll give it to you, daughter-in-law!" Su Feng heard Baojun's words, her face instantly turned red as if she had drunk 2 catties of liquor, she knew for the first time that she was shy like this, and even her heart was beating wildly.
She asked Baojun to take off the cloth bag on the top of the cabinet, and after counting the cash again, she carefully pressed it under the pillow...... Back on the bed, with Su Feng's hot water bottle under his feet, Baojun repeatedly thought about the conversation with her just now, he didn't know if the future path was right, but at least now his heart was boiling, and the most surprising thing was Su Feng, at this moment he wanted to tell his younger brothers and sisters in his hometown the good news immediately, he really wanted to tell the world that he had picked up one
"Baby" ...... Early in the morning, Baojun sent Su Feng to the long-distance bus station, and once again stepped on the bus back to his hometown, Su Feng's heart has undergone earth-shaking changes, from the anxiety and bitterness when he first came, it has become the current calmness and expectation, she has not been in contact with the eldest sister for more than half a year, she is still a little worried, sitting in the car, she can't help but think, will the eldest sister blame her willfulness, will she be worried, Will she be angry, but immediately this anxiety was diluted by the joy of returning to her hometown immediately, the car was still parked at the door of the gymnasium in Lan County, while waiting for the car, she went to the vendor to buy a few twist flowers and fritters, and went to the store to weigh 3 catties of peach crisp and 3 catties of Changbai cake and 2 catties of fruit candy, she couldn't wait to see Ermeng, see Qi'er, see Sisi, these little gluttonous cats should also miss her...... The soda in the plastic box at the door immediately attracted her, that summer, the sweet soda, the tree feathers in the sky, the sound of the sister, the little Hou Zi who made her not know whether to forget or remember for the rest of her life...... Suddenly, her left hand was hit hard, and a little boy of about 10 years old rushed into the store from her left side, and the person behind her shouted
"Hou Erbao, can you have more eyes, and actually make trouble for Lao Tzu!", one said sorry again and again, and the other hurriedly said that it was okay, and the two of them were suddenly stunned,
"Sister, are you Sister Feng?" The man who shouted just now asked in disbelief, Su Feng looked at it, and the man in front of him was wearing a navy blue tunic, his hair had not been trimmed for a long time, and his eyes and ears on both sides were a little covered by his hair, and there seemed to be a few more fine lines at the corners of his bright eyes.
"Hou Xiaohua?" the man happily grabbed Su Feng's arm and shook it
"It's me, sister, isn't it me, we haven't seen each other for more than 10 years!" Su Feng was a little embarrassed and at a loss, and the salesman shouted impatiently
"I said that you don't pay for the child, you have to go outside, don't block the door", Hou Xiaohua was embarrassed and immediately took out the change, Erbao opened it while walking with instant noodles in his hand, Su Feng never thought that he would see Hou Xiaohua in his lifetime, and it was such a sudden encounter, Hou Xiaohua walked out of the store, saw the full things in Su Feng's hand, and immediately reached out to help.
"Sister, I'll help you get it!",
"No, no, no, don't sink, I can take it myself" Su Feng immediately refused, Hou Xiaohua didn't care, and insisted on taking it
"Sister, are you going to the county to visit relatives, or are you just here to buy something, when will you go back, if you are not in a hurry, I will invite you to dinner." Su Feng stammered
"No need, brother, I'll get in the car in a while, let's get together again another day when we have time!",
"Sister, now the car is convenient, several times a day, don't you have any urgency, let's go, let's go", couldn't help but say, dragging Su Feng forward, Su Feng had no choice but to break free from the answer
"Okay, then let's just eat a little bit!" In the noodle restaurant, Erbao sucked the noodle soup barely, and he didn't care about the adult's reminiscence, Su Feng's heart was pounding, he just wanted to end this meeting quickly, holding chopsticks, but he didn't move, Hou Xiaohua took a few bites and found that Su Feng didn't move the chopsticks, and persuaded
"Sister, eat quickly, his noodles are fragrant, and the sauce beef is also authentic!", Su Feng smiled slightly, thought for a long time, and asked softly
"Have you been doing well all these years?", Hou Xiaohua wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said
"It's good, sister, my uncle is going to retire next year, saying that it was for me to go on, and I'm just waiting now, it's just that these 2 muddy boys are disobedient, they are very good at learning one by one, and they are not good at studying, and their mother always says that they gave me a litter of monkey spirits, haha", Su Feng also laughed a few times with him,
"What about you, sister, how have you been doing all these years, I always sent you postcards a few years ago, did you receive it, but then I was too busy, and I slowly forgot about it" Hou Xiaohua said embarrassedly, Su Feng thought about it
"I'm a good ......",
"That's okay, I went to look for you that year, and when I saw you crying like that, I thought about taking you away, who thought that you wouldn't leave, and then I regretted it when I thought about it, I'm really afraid that you will suffer there again" Hou Xiaohua said apologetically, Su Feng smiled bitterly
"It's okay, I have a personal life, I'm fine, don't worry", Su Feng has no intention of catching up with him, 10 years, everything has become familiar and unfamiliar, she doesn't remember how she felt back then, she just doesn't want to think about it anymore, time has locked her heart, and she is not ready to open it for anyone again...... Hou Xiaohua didn't notice Su Feng's estrangement, and still enthusiastically sent her to the car back to the village, and kept reading it before leaving
"Sister, Lan County must come to me in the future, ......", Su Feng nodded lightly, and the moment the car started, a tear gently crossed the corner of his mouth......
