Chapter 40 Hatred of the Poor and Love of the Rich
"There are already five orders?" Xu Zhiqiu couldn't believe it.
My sister is just a sixteen-year-old girl, how can she go out for a walk and bring back five orders?
"Isn't it because our pricing is low and the quality is good? Brother, your craftsmanship is one in a hundred, be confident. Xu Zhinian hid all his credits, and just wanted to make his brother happy.
Xu Zhiqiu scratched his head and said, "Recently, my luck has been really good, and after only one day of setting up a stall, there were five orders, and we are busy." ”
"Yes, brother, let's go, let's go home quickly, it will be dark in a while, and it is estimated that we will not have time to come to the town for the next few days." ”
After Xu Zhinian finished speaking, he secretly looked at Li Qinglan.
Sure enough, I saw a trace of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
She said this to Li Qinglan on purpose, both of them just had a little meaning, and it was most appropriate to say a little goodbye at this time.
And more importantly, in the past few days when they return to the village to catch up with work, there will be many people who will find this place one after another to place orders.
In this process, Li Qinglan will realize that Xu Zhiqiu is not only good-looking, but also will have a future in the future.
Xu Zhiqiu didn't know anything about Xu Zhinian's thoughts, and honestly rode a tricycle to bring her back to the village.
For the next few days, both spent the next few days in the woods looking for wood.
My brother is as wise as a torch, and every time he finds wood, he feels that his brother is born to be a carpenter's material.
Xu Zhiqiu worked day and night for a week, and when it came to the agreed delivery day, it was finally completed.
He and Xu Zhinian came to the town with five plaques.
Xu Zhiqiu did not go to the Xiangyang grain and oil store immediately, but rushed to the stores of various customers who placed orders and helped them replace the plaques.
This plaque is charged according to the size, the small twenty, the big thirty, the shelves are also calculated according to the materials, the shelves ordered this time cost the customer fifty yuan.
After they delivered the goods, they roughly calculated, and in the past few days, the brother and sister have earned 170 yuan, and the cost of wood and paint is still more than 100 yuan.
You must know that in this era, people in the city who have a stable job can only earn thirty or forty yuan a month, and one hundred a week, which can be said to be a windfall.
Xu Zhiqiu took the money, and he couldn't say anything excited.
"Baoya, what do you want? ”
His first instinct was to treat his sister well, and he knew that without his sister, he would not have been able to have so many orders.
"Brother, if you save up the money, it will be of great use in the future. ”
The two happily returned to the Xiangyang grain and oil store.
Xu Zhiqiu also missed Li Qinglan very much, parked the car, and looked around, looking for Li Qinglan's figure.
At this time, a woman walked out of the house, Xu Zhiqiu thought it was Li Qinglan, and was about to step forward to say hello, but saw that the person was Yu Liyan, the salesperson in the store.
When Yu Liyan saw Xu Zhiqiu coming, her mouth almost reached the root of her ears, and she said enthusiastically: "Zhiqiu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you can be regarded as back." ”
"Ahh......h
There was a stool and a simple sign that read "Pick up carpentry work", he only hated that this was not a shop, and he didn't even have a hiding place, so Yu Liyan actually followed directly.
Yu Liyan stopped him and said, "What's the hurry, you must have just finished your work, right?" Seeing that your head is sweating, give you a handkerchief to wipe it." ”
Yu Liyan handed over her personal handkerchief, Xu Zhiqiu subconsciously took a step back and said, "No need, I'm fine." ”
"What are you polite to me? Yesterday my third aunt came to the store, and I didn't know until we talked...... It turned out to be you, you see, you changed your clothes quietly, and I didn't even recognize you. ”
When Xu Zhiqiu heard this, he became even more nervous - Yu Liyan knew who he was.
When the matchmaker introduced her before, Yu Liyan didn't even look at him, and only asked about the family conditions and sent him away, why is she so enthusiastic at this moment?
"You're also persistent enough, what's the matter, seeing that I don't want to, you chased me to my workplace?"
When Xu Zhiqiu heard this, his expression became even more embarrassed - this Yu Liyan can really have beautiful dreams, and he actually thought that he was here to pursue her.
Xu Zhiqiu looked at Xu Zhinian with a pleading gaze, and unconsciously, he was already a little dependent on his sister, who was his backbone.
Xu Zhinian also understood what Yu Liyan meant, she thought that Xu Zhiqiu was a rural youth, her family was poor and white, and she didn't have the ability to make money, so she didn't like it at all, and in a blink of an eye, Xu Zhiqiu counterattacked, and earned a hundred yuan in a few days, and he was tall and handsome, he was impeccable, such a good object, it was difficult to find it with a lantern.
At this time, Li Qinglan walked out of the store.
When her gaze skimmed over Xu Zhiqiu, there was obviously a trace of coldness and disappointment.
It can be surmised that Yu Liyan has been in the store several times, and she learned that Xu Zhiqiu was her blind date, so she must have told Li Qinglan early, and maybe she added fuel and vinegar to say that Xu Zhiqiu came here to set up a stall for her.
Therefore, Li Qinglan, who has self-esteem and self-love, immediately extinguished the small fire that sprouted in her heart and chose to turn a blind eye to Xu Zhiqiu.
As soon as Xu Zhinian saw Li Qinglan coming out, he hurried to her side and said, "Sister Qinglan, we haven't been here these days, is someone coming over to do carpentry work?"
Li Qinglan smiled reluctantly and took out a piece of paper from her padded jacket pocket.
"Well, there are six people here, I have written them all down for you, there are names and addresses, what are they going to do, what are the sizes? What materials are needed, I have probably asked, you take them one by one, and then go to the right pair. ”
Xu Zhinian took the note, and saw that the handwriting on it was neat and beautiful, and each one was remembered in detail, so it can be seen that Li Qinglan also put a lot of thought into it, and she must have contributed to it if she was able to stabilize the six orders.
Such a good sister-in-law, you can't let her go.
"What? I took six more orders. Yu Liyan's mouth grinned wider, and she walked over and said, "Let me see, what kind of orders are they?"
Xu Zhinian dodged her and silently put the note into the padded jacket.
"Sister Yu, this is a trade secret, and it can't be known to outsiders. ”
"Outsiders, what's the matter, it's all this time, you still treat me as an outsider, my third aunt said, your brother and your father have gone to more than a dozen villages, and you want to talk about your daughter-in-law, but there is no follow-up until now, what about me...... Although the family conditions are better, and I am from the city, but I am a simple person, I don't care about those bells and whistles, if I fancy this person, I will be poor, and in the future, we are all a family, you don't have an outsider, you are too ignorant. ”
