Refusing the store manager's repeated retention, Li Dan resolutely resigned from his job as an hourly worker in a fast food restaurant.

This result is not limited to today's events, Li Dan has already considered resigning last week.

It's been about three weeks since the holiday, and she's been working hard like a little bee every day, constantly busy.

After testing the waters in the first few days, Li Dan determined that collecting rags and selling second-hand books was indeed a lucrative industry, and there was also a market in the night market near W City and Normal University. Coupled with the recession of the socks industry, she finally decided to dispose of the socks in her hand cheaper, and then devote herself to the new industry.

When she started, she used the daytime to go out to various communities to collect rags, of course, mainly books, newspapers and so on, and after collecting a cart, she rode to the scrap yard to sell, and the books that could be sold again were kept.

At noon, I took the books back to the dormitory, picked up the books while cooking, and went out in the afternoon to collect a cart of rags and sell them. If she doesn't have enough books in her hand, she will go to the buying station to pick up some scrap books and buy them back at twice the purchase price.

Then I hurried to the night market to set up a stall, and I had to complete the stall while setting up a stall. Dinner is basically not eaten on time, and I have to wait until I go back to the dormitory in the evening.

At that time, she was basically too tired to get up, so she simply dealt with one bite and was done.

Within a few days, Li Dan couldn't stand it. It's physical work, and her nutrition can't keep up, so in just a few days, she has lost a lot of weight.

Earning money is earning money, but it's too hard. This work really confirms the saying, get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the chickens.

Li Dan also knows that her current state is very bad, she doesn't want to work hard for the first half of her life to earn money, and donate all the money she earns to the hospital for the sake of health in the second half of her life, then she will be too tragic.

So she plans to find herself a reasonable amount of work, and it is okay to earn less, after all, no matter how rich she is, she has to spend it.

Then, after some weighing and trade-offs, Li Dan decided to quit his job at a fast food restaurant.

According to the previous economic situation, it was a lot to earn more than ten yuan a day, but now it is a bit chicken compared to the harvest rags. In terms of workload. are almost tired (the two time periods when Li Dan went happened to be the busiest). I have to take four buses back and forth to go to a fast food restaurant, and I waste a lot of time on the road.

Because it's been thought about for a long time. That's why Li Dan resigned so resolutely just now. It's not just the Li family's commotion. The main thing is that she doesn't want to do it anymore.

It's rare to be able to rest for half a day. Li Dan decided to give himself a few hours off and take care of himself as a consumer, and go shopping. Make a big meal in the evening and reward yourself for your hard work recently.

Thinking of the numbers in her passbook, she felt very confident.

These days, she makes a lot of money selling junk and second-hand books. At least two trips a day to collect rags, because the things collected are not fixed, and the income of each car is not fixed, but generally a day can deal with a hundred and eight. At the beginning, the bookstall was very popular, and at most it could earn more than 500 a day, which was astronomical for some people, but for Li Dan, it was just selling four sacks of old books. Later, the excitement slowly subsided, and it was impossible for everyone to sell books every day, so the business of the bookstall also stabilized, and the daily income fluctuated around two hundred yuan.

With money in his pocket, Li Dan went to the biggest and best shopping mall in W City, looking at the dazzling array of clothes and goods inside, but Li Dan didn't have any shopping**.

I always hear people say that the richer the person, the more picky, Li Dan has never been a rich person in her previous life, so she has never experienced it, but now she has some experience, of course, Li Dan is not a rich person correctly, in the mid-nineties, at her age, she earned more than 100 yuan a day, and she was already a little rich woman.

She looked at the clothes worn by the model, the quality was good, the style was old-fashioned, and she gasped when she looked at the label on it, more than 200 yuan, I really dare to ask for it, I have to catch up with half a month's salary of a worker. She walked around the floor for a while, but she couldn't do anything.

Forget it, now every day I either go out to collect rags or go to the night market to set up a stall, and I don't have time to wear these clothes after I buy them, so I'm better to wait until I'm free, buy some fabrics and study them myself.

In the end, Li Dan only bought some ingredients and went home.

As a result, as soon as she walked downstairs to the bedroom with her things, she saw Wang Juan hiding in the shade of a tree.

At this time, Wang Juan also saw Li Dan, and was happy like a rabbit, jumping over, "Why did you come back, I've been waiting for you all afternoon." ”

"Why did you get here, by yourself?" didn't see Wang Hu, Li Dan asked.

"Well, I came by myself. Let's get inside, I'm going to get sunburned. "From the time she came at noon to the present, she waited outside for five hours, without a drop of water, without resting and resting, to escape the heat, she must have died in battle.

Li Dan saw her abnormally red face, so she didn't ask anything, she led the person up first, or if she fainted or something, she couldn't carry it.

The two of them went up to the fifth floor hand in hand.

Wang Juan complained while climbing the stairs: "When I was at noon, I had to wear out my mouth with her, and she didn't let me come up. She was talking about Zhang Jing, the janitor.

Zhang Jing happened to be on duty this afternoon, and Wang Juan was stopped by her when she came, although Wang Juan explained that she was here to find Li Dan, but Zhang Jing didn't let her in on the excuse that Li Dan was not there.

"She didn't see you, she saw the half of the roast chicken." Li Dan said jokingly.

She is now getting along well with the two aunts who watch the bedroom, of course, in addition to her sweet mouth, another reason is that Li Dan will come to work, usually buy something delicious, and everyone she meets will give a little out. For example, today, she bought a roast chicken, which must not be eaten by one person, plus the weather is hot at this time, and there is no refrigerator here in the bedroom, so she can't put it. So when she bought it, she asked her to put the roast chicken in half from the middle and put it in two bags, thinking that when she came back, she would give Zhang Jing half of it. That's how relationships come out.

Just now, Li Dan handed over the roast chicken, and by the way, his classmates came to play with him and wanted to stay here for a few days, Zhang Jing agreed without saying anything. It's all the credit of the roast chicken.

"Hmph, I don't even have half a chicken to work with." Wang Juan pouted childishly.

Li Dan sneered and laughed, this kid is the truth, in Zhang Jing's eyes, she is really not as cute as this half of the chicken.

After nodding and saying hello to a woman walking across from him. Li Dan opened the door, and the two of them talked and laughed into the house.

"Do you know all the people here?" Wang Juan saw the woman who had just walked over. It's different from them, how to say it, at first glance, it's an intellectual.

"I don't know each other, but I've lived here for so long. Sometimes you can come in and out. It's just a greeting to each other. They are all university teachers. Li Dan put the meat and vegetables in his hand on the only table, and then moved the sack on the ground to make a bigger space as much as possible.

"Hey. Why do you have so many things, where did you come from? Wang Juan also saw the sack in the ground, although she was curious, she didn't move to look through it.

"It's all old books, I collected them." Li Dan explained briefly.

Seeing Wang Juan's eagerness to try, she simply said: "It's just right, you can also help me do some work when you come, help me classify these books, and use them at night." I'm going to cook for you, and I'm going to have a big meal today. ”

Li Dan and Wang Juan poured out the four sacks of books between the ground, and Li Dan taught Wang Juan how to classify the books, and asked her to simply flip through the books to see if there was anything in them.

This is a habit that Li Dan has formed these days. Some people often put things in the book, forget them after a long time, and sell them all together when they sell the book. Since Li Dan first unexpectedly got a windfall of 800 yuan from a book, he has to look through it roughly every time he sells the book. I haven't encountered a lot of money like the first time, but I have also found some good things, such as stamps.

Li Dan doesn't know much about stamps, in the novel, that is, he knows that monkey stamps are very valuable in the future, but from the stamps she found, none of them have monkey patterns, and most of them are stamped, it should not be very valuable, Li Dan received a stamp album when he collected the tatters, there were not a few stamps in it, she directly left the stamps that she turned over later and put them in, don't care if they are worth it or not, keep it first, in case it will be useful in the future.

Then Wang Juan happily sat down in the pile of books and divided the books seriously and quickly.

Li Dan quickly heated up the steamed buns he bought, took advantage of this effort to wash the ribs, took out the beans and washed them, and when the steamed buns were hot, he poured oil to stew the ribs and beans.

After the dishes were cooked, she also squatted on the ground and shared the book with Wang Juan.

"Dandan, what are you going to do with such old books?" Wang Juan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Dan didn't hide it, so he told him about going out to collect rags during the day and setting up stalls at night.

Wang Juan was so surprised that she forgot the movements in her hands.

Li Dan looked at her like that and smiled self-deprecatingly, "What's the matter, I feel unbelievable, and I still feel ashamed to be friends with me." ”

In the eyes of people now, they still pay attention to their status. After all, collecting rags is not a decent job, and most people look down on it.

Just like Li Dan is collecting rags outside, she can always hear someone shouting at her to "collect rags".

"What do you say, am I that kind of person?" Wang Juan was afraid that Li Dan would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained.

Li Dan didn't speak, just smiled. She believes that Wang Juan doesn't care, because she is a simple child, and she has not yet entered the big dyeing furnace of society, but she doesn't believe in Wang Juan's family, if they know that Li Dan is now collecting rags in the city, then they will definitely order Wang Juan to stay away from her, so she hopes that Wang Juan can be smart now, don't go back and tell her parents stupidly, then she will lose a friend.

Wang Juan saw that Li Dan didn't speak and just smiled, thinking that she didn't believe herself, so she angrily slammed the book in her hand and said, "What do you mean, don't you believe me, am I such a snobbish person, you don't know me too well." As he spoke, his eyes turned a little red.

"Hey, look at it, look at it, I didn't say anything, it's you who think about it yourself, okay. I didn't think there was anything bad about the work I did, I relied on my own ability and strength to earn money to eat, and I never felt inferior. Why don't I believe you? Li Dan hurriedly explained, this just came to make people cry, and her sin was great.

Wang Juan looked at Li Dan, Li Dan gave a very sincere look, and Wang Juan burst into tears and smiled, "That is, as long as you make money and don't break the law, there is no shame in it." Seriously, I still envy you, you are so bold to come out and earn money and live by yourself, if I don't have that kind of courage. ”

"Haha, what's there to envy, this is all forced out, your parents love you so much, you just stop being a little princess."

Seeing that Wang Juan pursed her mouth again, she hurriedly said, "However, you can't eat and live for nothing when you come to me, you have to help work." ”

"Okay, just say it, let me do anything." Wang Juan seemed eager to try.

Li Dan squinted at her, "It's really okay to do anything, it's okay to collect the rags with me?" ”

"Okay, why not, you dare to go, I can't go." Wang Juan said proudly, but as soon as the words fell, she whispered: "However, if I go out, can I bring a mask, I'm afraid of running into classmates, I'm not afraid of jokes, or it's embarrassing, and I will have to explain hard when the time comes." The more she spoke, the quieter she became.

Li Dan laughed when he heard it, and Wang Juan's little face turned red with laughter.

"Don't worry, I also wear a mask when I go out, and I have a tricycle, you just want to go and collect the rags and there is no place for you."

"Oh, you're so bad, you'll tease me." Wang Juan also laughed.

The two of them quickly sorted all the books into categories, and then put them back in the sack.

"Dandan, why are there so many bags?" Wang Juan asked without answering.

Four sacks were used before pouring, but ten sacks were used for filling.

"That sack of books has to be more than 100 catties, and we will carry these books downstairs later, can you carry more than 100 catties alone?" Li Dan asked as he washed his hands.

Wang Juan shook her head without thinking about it, just kidding, she could be pressed down by the sack.

"That's it, so I'll divide my clothes, a bag is a few dozen pounds, and it's better to run a few more times than to be bent over." This is the experience that Li Dan summed up.

Li Dan is much more energetic than Wang Juan, he can carry more than 100 pounds, at the beginning, Li Dan was carrying a hemp bag and a hemp bag, but he couldn't stand it when he carried his waist back and forth a few times.

Wang Juan nodded understandingly.

The two of them cleaned up the ground a little, and the dishes in the pot were ready, and they began to eat.

Pork ribs stewed beans, roast chicken, mixed vegetables, there are meat and vegetarian, and it is still relatively rich.

After the two of them finished eating with a smile, Li Dan didn't let Wang Juan wash the dishes, quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and saw that the time was almost up, so he announced that he would set off to set up a stall in the night market. (To be continued......)
