CHAPTER XXIII
Chen Wenxiang had come to Guangzhou when they were worried, and she felt that her eyes were not enough to see, and the outside world was so big and beautiful.
"Wenxiang, come on, our factory is in front." A girl in front of her, dressed to look more fashionable than her, called out to her.
"Okay, here we go." Chen Wenxiang carried a few simple clothes of her own and happily agreed.
"Now that our factory is short of people, you should be able to go in, don't be lazy when doing things, then the boss will give you a high bonus." The girl admonished.
"Well, I'll be serious." Chen Wenxiang nodded and said, the girl had already taken her to the factory gate, took out her factory certificate and showed the doorman to look at them, and let them in.
"It's a big factory." Chen Wenxiang is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and her eyes don't know where to look.
"Okay, I'll take you to the dormitory first, and then I'll go to the supervisor later." In this way, Chen Wenxiang began his new life.
Honglin watched the second uncle come back dejectedly, and knew that the aunt must not have gone home but ran out.
"The second sister never went back at all, I heard that she went out to work with the daughter of the Wang family." Chen Wenke said.
"The daughter of the Wang family, is she the one who used to play well with her?" Chen Wenxiang thought for a long time and then asked.
"Well, I heard that his daughter had been looking outside for a year last year, and she came back for the New Year, and the second sister ran out with her." Chen Wenke actually thinks that if he is really with her, it is not bad to go out.
"That's good, it's better to go out than to be at home and get married before you are twenty years old." Chen Wenyue said with a long sigh.
Because of Chen Wenxiang's matter, my grandmother was complained about by my grandfather, and my grandmother and Chen Wenxiao were also a lot more honest, and Chen Wenxiao finally went to help others make furniture, but my grandmother would come to the district every month to get some daily necessities from the small store, and sometimes asked Chen Wenyue for some money.
Chen Wenyue will generally give it to her as long as she doesn't go too far, and Chen Wenke also said that those are all his. But she didn't let him out, just let him make good money, and then build a house so that he could marry a daughter-in-law.
"The word Honglin is mispronounced, it should be read like this." Chen Wenfei now hands her homework every day when she comes back, sometimes she will deliberately read wrong, sometimes she will deliberately ask some questions, and if she can't answer it, he will ask the teacher, and the teacher's impression of him is getting better and better, and his grades are getting better and better.
Su Haiqiang and Jiang Yan have a good relationship, listening to Chen Wenyue's conversation with Su Haiqiang, I want to get engaged in a few days, and strive to get married at the end of the year, so that his home will no longer be empty.
"Sister-in-law, let's send Honglin to school in the second half of the year, you see she knows so many words." Su Haiqiang looked at Su Honglin, who was practicing calligraphy, and couldn't help but say.
"As I said, she won't go." Chen Wenyue said helplessly.
"Why, she likes to read and read so much, why doesn't she like to go to school?" Su Haiqiang looked surprised.
"She said that she is still young and will go when her sister is older."
Listening to her words, Su Haiqiang was silent, Honglin was too sensible, she must have seen that her sister-in-law had to take care of both the store and Hongmei, so she refused to go to school.
Honglin didn't know that Su Haiqiang was worried about her study, and she was busy writing Jiang Xiaochen's letter.
The last time she went back to her master's house, Jiang Xiaochen even wrote her a letter, although there were not a few words overall, but it was indeed a letter.
Shiyin thought that if she took the junior high school entrance examination directly from the fifth grade by then, she would soon be exposed to English, and her English had almost forgotten, and her English itself was poor in her previous life, so she was going to contact it earlier in this life to see if she could change it.
Now she wrote to Jiang Xiaochen to ask him to help her find a set of junior high school English books, preferably with cassette tapes, so that she could practice listening when she went to her master's house.
"Honglin, come and see, your aunt has sent a letter back." Chen Wenyue shouted in surprise outside.
Honglin listened, jumped up, and immediately ran outside, she had always been worried about her aunt, and now that she wrote a letter, is it already settled.
"Where, show me." Honglin asked eagerly.
"Here, you see that this is your aunt, has it changed?" Chen Wenyue held a photo in her hand, and said happily with tears in her eyes.
Honglin climbed her hand down, looked at the photo by the way, and saw that the aunt was wearing a simple T-shirt and a pair of jeans standing under the sun, with a smile on her face.
Honglin picked up the letter that Chen Wenyue put aside, the aunt's handwriting was very poor, and there were some white-eyed words, but Honglin still understood what she was going to say.
She followed her friend to an electronic product company in Guangzhou, which made radios and small tape recorders, and the factory was very large, with more than 200 people, and said that she had more than 70 yuan a month, and that she would send money to her family when she paid her salary.
Honglin's heart that had been hanging finally let go, thinking that my aunt had a radio over there and something like that, I don't know if I could send some back, I can sell it, and now there are very few goods here, only if they are sold from the south, there will be them.
Honglin wrote the situation of the family to her aunt one by one, so that she could do things there with peace of mind, and if she sent money, she could send it for a month and save it for a month, just in case, and reminded her to go to the outside market to see the price of electronic products, whether it was good to get the goods or not.
Chen Wenfei was also very happy to see Chen Wenxiang's letter after returning from school, and he also picked up a pen and wrote a reply. My mother also wrote one, but when I sent it, it was too thick and I had to put two stamps.
"Little brother, after school today, you go home and tell your second sister about your second sister to the family, so that your father will not worry." Chen Wenyue said to him.
"Okay, then I'll go straight from school and won't come back for dinner." Chen Wenfei said.
The days passed quickly, the weather was getting warmer and warmer, Hongmei began to learn to walk when she took off only two clothes, she was not afraid of pain when she stumbled, she always fell down and got up, sometimes she howled a few times, and when she saw that no one paid attention to her, she got up and continued to walk, and sometimes when she saw that no one looked at her, she fell down and patted the ground and got up.
Honglin also received a letter from Jiang Xiaochen, a set of English books and a new set of English tapes, saying that he would come back to teach her during the summer vacation. And my aunt's letter was longer, what surprised her was that it was a package, she opened it and saw that it was a radio and a tape recorder, which was the kind of Walkman, Honglin was so surprised.
Honglin asked his mother to put the radio on the counter, listen to the music news on the radio every day, and sometimes meet people who buy goods, and they will also ask about the price of the radio.
By the time Honglin was ready to write to his aunt again, Chen Wenyue had already received three orders to buy a radio.
The radios were considered a luxury item at the time, so they were generally bought by those who had the money, or those who had a formal salary.
And the tape recorder also has an order, which is Honglin is asking his uncle to listen to English tapes, it should be a teacher, he just happened to see it and wanted to buy one.
Honglin asked her mother to send some money to her aunt and asked her to send a few more back.
"I don't know if people in the county will buy this thing." Chen Wenke took the radio and tape recorder and pondered.
Honglin's eyes lit up, he did have the mind to do business, he even thought of going to the county to do business, now that the economy is slowly developing, the demand for these electronic products is also great, like electronic watches and the like, in this era before the mobile phone is selling very well.
"Second uncle, you can try it, there are electronic watches and the like, or you can go to Guangzhou to have a look." Honglin said.
"Wait until I go to the county seat to have a look, and then decide whether to go there or not." Chen Wenke thought for a while and said.
Honglin listened to the words of the second uncle, and admired it even more, he even knew how to conduct market research first, it seems that it is difficult for the second uncle to succeed if he doesn't want to. However, the second uncle still reads fewer books, so he should read more books of this kind.
"Second uncle, if you go to Guangzhou, the county seat, and go to the bookstore by the way, and find some books for business, it will definitely be beneficial." Honglin said.
"You little girl knows a lot, but my uncle listens to you and buys some books to come back and read." Chen Wenke touched Honglin's head and messed up her well-tied hair.
Honglin looked at him dissatisfied, she hated the action of the second uncle and brother-in-law the most, but they liked to tease her like this the most.
Chen Wenke's movements were very fast, and after discussing with Chen Wenyue, he went to the county seat and began his adventure to make a fortune.
A few days after Chen Wenke left, it was Hongmei's first birthday, in their place, the first birthday was more grand, and usually relatives would come to catch Zhou for her, but on Hongmei's birthday, only the aunt came, not even the grandmother.
Chen Wenyue's face was a little gloomy, she knew that just because the child's father was gone, they said that Hongmei's life was big and killed him.
"Don't be sad, our Hongmei's life is good, you see, you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future." The aunt persuaded.
"I'm just a little sad, obviously I have nothing to do with her, but these rumors may have to carry her for the rest of her life." Chen Wenyue said sadly.
"As long as we don't believe in it, we will only be in distress every day if we care so much." The aunt took her hand and said.
Hongmei didn't know that Chen Wenyue was worried about her, she learned to walk on this day, and when she caught Zhou, she also caught a handful of money, and her aunt suddenly laughed when she saw it, "Look at it, you can catch money at such a young age, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future." ”
Chen Wenyue went to take the money in her hand, Hongmei grabbed it so tightly that she couldn't take it out at all, which made her mother feel both funny and sad.
After Jiang Yan's mother followed the matchmaker to Su Haiqiang's house, Su Haiqiang gave Jiang Yan a red envelope, and she didn't refuse, this is her mother agreed, and it was almost decided, Chen Wenyue asked the aunt to be the matchmaker and agreed on the date of marriage.
April 26 was the day when Su Haiqiang made a marriage, Chen Wenyue went back to Yuncun early, Honglin took Hongmei to stay in the district and did not follow, afraid that she would not have time to take care of them then, and Honglin really didn't want to see Xie Shufen's face.
"Honglin, have you fed Hongmei?" It happened to be Saturday, and Chen Wenfei only had classes in the morning.
"Uncle, she ate a French cake and hasn't fed it yet." Honglin is picking up something for a customer.
Chen Wenfei took Hongmei outside when he heard this, and the customer saw that Honglin was very young and settled the accounts quickly, and couldn't help but sigh that the poor man's child was in charge early.
After the customer left with the goods, Honglin walked into the kitchen, where Chen Wenfei was hot and Hongmei was sitting and playing with the toy frog that was pressing and jumping.
"It'll be fine soon, you can wash your hands first." Chen Wenfei saw her come in and said.
Honglin looked at his current uncle, and it was hard to imagine the uncle who was arrested and put in prison in his previous life.
"Uncle, why don't I study with you in the second half of the year and see who is powerful." Honglin said.
"Didn't you say you shouldn't read so fast?" He quickly put the dishes into the bowl and extinguished the fire in the stove.
"I went straight to the fifth grade." Honglin said.
"Can you keep up? You'd better wait until you're six years old to go to school, or no one will see you when you're sitting in the classroom. Chen Wenfei looked at her height and said with a smile.
Honglin thought about it, it's better to wait until she is older, or she can't write while sitting at that desk, anyway, she has to help her mother take her sister now.
