Chapter 7: Good Friends
Because Gu Hongjian is a freelancer, he usually changes to different temporary jobs after three or five days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So, he also knows a lot about where there are part-time jobs nearby.
"What? Do you want to do ******? Gu Hongjian didn't directly answer his son's question and asked.
"Well, yes. Make extra money. Gu Xiao nodded and said seriously.
After Gu Hongjian heard this, he frowned and said, "I said boss, you are about to take the college entrance examination, at this time, you should review hard, what kind of part-time job." Although our family is not in a good situation, my father still has money to read to you. ”
At this time, the mother Wu Ying listened, picked up the words again, and said, "Yes, son, do you need to buy anything?" You tell your mother, and you can buy it if your mother gives you money. Now you just need to review with peace of mind and get ready for the college entrance examination. ”
Hearing his parents advise him like this, Gu Xiao also showed some helplessness, hehe, if I tell my reason, it's strange if you don't say I'm crazy...
But he still smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Dad, Mom, I have my own measure in studying, and I won't delay the college entrance examination because of my part-time job." Besides, I can't bury my head in the questions and read books every day, that will only make people more stupid the more they learn, I find a part-time activity activity, and my brain is more flexible. ”
When his son said this, Gu Hongjian also felt a little reasonable, after all, he didn't read much, and he didn't understand how to arrange his studies. But since his son said that he had his own sense of proportion and would not affect his studies, he believed it.
"Oh well. Well...... I remember that at the Sang Kee food stall not far from my home, it seemed to be recruiting temporary workers every day. If you have time, go and see for yourself. Gu Hongjian thought for a moment, and then said.
"Good!"
When Gu Xiao heard this, he immediately smiled, and now, he finally had some eyebrows to get some money.
So, the next morning, when the sky was just getting dark, Gu Xiao had already gotten out of bed, and after a simple wash, he set off towards the "Shengji food stall" that his father said.
Shengji food stall is a shop not far from Gu Xiao's home, which generally serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Because this food stall has been operating in the town for more than ten years, it can also be called a time-honored store in the town, and its business has always been quite good.
When he went to this store, Gu Xiao saw that the front of the store was indeed as his father said, with a few conspicuous words "recruiting several temporary workers, salary interviews".
Gu Xiao resolutely walked into the store and applied to the boss.
"Work, food delivery, money by volume. One dollar per piece, two meals, and daily wages. ”
This is the condition that the boss put forward to Gu Xiao.
"The part-time conditions for food delivery in the town are almost the same, young man, what do you think?" The boss said.
"!" Gu Xiao pondered for a moment and said. Anyway, he has no other way to make money for the time being, so he will do this takeaway job first, as if he was riding a donkey to find a horse......
The job of food delivery revolves around the whole town. The boss provided Gu Xiao with a little sheep electric car, and Gu Xiao loaded the takeaway box with a basket and started his outside work.
In fact, if you haven't tried it, you don't know that the job of food delivery is not as simple as you imagined.
The basket for takeaway can generally hold 10 to 20 bento lunch boxes, that is to say, Gu Xiao can earn 10 to 20 yuan for every round of takeaway. However, the customers who place orders for takeaway are usually scattered in different places in the town, so Gu Xiao has to travel a lot to complete a round of food delivery tasks.
On average, Gu Xiao has to complete a round of takeaway delivery, but it takes more than an hour. At the end of the day, what he can earn is a salary of forty or fifty yuan.
After working for two days, Gu Xiao looked at the return of less than 100 yuan for his labor in the past two days. In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy.
If this continues, you won't earn 100 yuan a week, and if you want to make up 1,000 yuan, it will take more than two months.
"By the time I earn enough 1,000 yuan, I'm afraid I'm going to start the college entrance examination, and the time is a little tight. No, I'll have to think of something else. Gu Xiao scratched his head and thought to himself.
Just when Gu Xiao was on the way home after receiving his salary from his boss, he suddenly found that a men's motorcycle was driving towards him in front of him.
The person driving the motorcycle was a tall young man with dyed red hair.
"Gu Xiao."
The young man shouted loudly to Gu Xiao as he drove towards Gu Xiao. Obviously, this young man was familiar with Gu Xiao.
Looking ahead, after Gu Xiao understood the young man's appearance, a smile suddenly lit up on his face.
"Liang Xia!" Gu Xiao shouted.
This young man on a motorcycle is named Liang Xia.
Liang Xia and Gu Xiao have been playing since they were children, so they have established a deep relationship when they were young.
However, in recent years, Gu Xiao has had less contact with Liang Xia because he was in high school. Now I met this good friend when I was a child by chance, and I was also a little excited in my heart.
Liang Xia drove the car to Gu Xiao and stopped, with a friendly smile on his face, and said to Gu Xiao: "Long time no see, Gu Xiao, what have you been doing recently?" ”
"It's still the same, study." Gu Xiao shrugged his shoulders, and then asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”
"I've been studying at social science for a long time!" Liang Xia quipped. Although the two have lost contact in recent years, Liang Xia's tone towards Gu Xiao is still quite natural.
Liang Xia continued: "Hey, are you taking advantage of the weekend break to go out for a walk?" ”
Hearing Liang Xia ask like this, Gu Xiao also smiled bitterly, how could he be so interested in going out shopping? Now I'm running around to make money.
"No, I just came home from a part-time job." Gu Xiaoshu shook his head and said.
"Oh? Working part-time? Don't you still have to go to school? Why, I've been short of money lately? Liang Xia asked.
Gu Xiao continued to smile bitterly, then nodded, and said, "Well, it's a little short of money." ”
Liang Xia thought for a moment, and then said, "How much is missing?" Let's hear it and see if buddy can help you? ”
When Gu Xiao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't imagine that he had not been in contact with Liang Xia for so long, and he still regarded himself as a good brother. Even when it comes to the embarrassing problem of money, this guy is still so enthusiastic and active to help himself.
"Uh...... About a thousand yuan......" Gu Xiao said slowly, his face seemed to be a little embarrassed.
After hearing this, Liang Xia did not hesitate at all, and immediately took out his wallet and took out a stack of red coins in his wallet.
"Na! A thousand pieces, take it. Wait until you have some loose on hand before you give it back to me. There is no need to rush to return it. Liang Xia still had that friendly smile on his face.
Regarding Liang Xia's move, Gu Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Seeing Gu Xiao's stunned appearance, Liang Xia also felt a little funny, and he said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" Don't forget, we're good friends! ”
