Chapter 23: Parents' Troubles

The new houses in the town have been installed, and the rice (millet) planted in the fields has not yet been harvested.

Early the next morning, Chen Weiguo carried the fight, and Xia Yu carried a basket, sickle and other things, and came to the rice field a few hundred meters away.

The two went down to the field to harvest rice, and within a while, their clothes and pants were soaked with muddy water.

Chen Yu, who got up at half past six, rode his bicycle to the repair shop, and before he left home, he saw his parents threshing grain in the field, and he put his bicycle on the side of the road, ready to go down to the field to help threshing the grain.

"Xiaoyu, why didn't you go to the repair shop?" Chen Weiguo put down a handful of rice and asked with a frown.

"Dad, I'll help you." Chen Yu said with a smile, money can be earned at any time, if his parents are tired, it is strange if he does not regret it.

"You go to the repair shop, you don't have to worry about the grain." Xia Yu said.

"Mom, I can go to the repair shop at any time, I'll beat the millet at home and go again." Chen Yu said that in this era, there were no harvesters, and in order to save more effort to threshing the grain, almost all the rice fields had a foot of water deep.

The fight is not very heavy, only a few dozen catties, after filling the wet and running water, its weight will soar to hundreds of catties, therefore, when the grain is threshed in this era, there is about a foot of water in the field.

"Go, go, there are two of us in threshing, you better go to the maintenance factory and make more money." Chen Weiguo said.

"Dad, these are the money I saved, or ask a few people to help with the grain." After Chen Yu was silent for a few seconds, he reached out and took out eight hundred yuan from his pocket, looking like he took it from his pocket, but it was actually taken out of his personal balance.

"Where did you get all this money?" Chen Weiguo asked suspiciously.

"Someone came to fix the car yesterday...... Uncle Wang gave me eight hundred. Chen Yu explained half-truthfully.

"Anyway, we're fine, let's fight the millet ourselves." Xia Yu grabbed the money in his hand and said with a smile.

Chen Yu was helpless, but he had no choice but to ride his bicycle on the street and toss in the repair shop for another day.

At half past seven in the evening, he came home from work, looking at his parents whose faces were sunburned, his heart was like a knife, and he secretly vowed to find a way to prevent his parents from continuing to farm.

Open a chicken farm or a pig farm? It seems very easy, once there is any chicken fever or swine fever, it is strange if you don't lose all your money.

Without large-scale farming, it is difficult to make any money, even if the formation of large-scale farming, it will also face huge risks, even if it has made money for several consecutive years, it is possible to make its own bankruptcy in the next few years.

"It's very profitable to speculate in stocks in this era, but unfortunately I'm in Qianshi Town, I'm only thirteen years old at the moment, and I don't have the opportunity to speculate in stocks for the time being.

"Speculating on a house must be very profitable, in just a few years, housing prices will skyrocket more than ten times, especially in developed coastal areas, housing prices are not a problem to increase dozens or hundreds of times, but speculation is a bit out of reach for me now."

"There is no problem in selling novels and songs from the other side of the world here, and making money. But I only have a few songs that I can remember, and I only have one impression left in the novels I have read, and it is difficult to restore them, not to mention that I have no channels to make this money. ”

Shaking his head, no longer thinking about making money, Chen Yu lay on the bed and fell asleep, and woke up at half past six in the morning.

My parents went out at half-past five with their things, and by this time they had already cut a lot of rice.

Chen Yu didn't go to help, he rode his bicycle to the repair shop, and while repairing electrical appliances, he instructed the four apprentices.

In the morning, someone drove to repair it, and it took him more than two hours to earn 850 yuan from others.

Shortly after lunch, Director Li from Sanyang Machinery Factory came.

"Uncle Li, what's the matter?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"There is an imported machine in our factory that is broken, do you have time now?" Li Dazhu asked.

"Where there's money, there's time." Chen Yu said.

"We're all ready for the money, just waiting for you to pass." Li Dazhu said.

"Okay." Chen Yu nodded, and together with Wang Zhengxin, went to Sanyang Machinery Factory.

Ten minutes later, the three of them came to the workshop, Li Dazhu pointed to a milling machine, and then said: "This is the machine." ”

Chen Yu checked it, turned on the machine and tried it, and after thinking about it secretly, he picked up the tool and dismantled the parts one by one......

"Xiao Chen's speed is really fast." Li Dazhu sighed.

"He also has a lot of strength." Wang Zhengxin echoed.

"Alright." Half an hour later, Chen Yu said with a smile.

Li Dazhu tried it, and saw that the imported milling machine was really repaired, so he took the two of them to the finance to settle the bill.

"Director Li, I have a classmate who wants to work in your Sanyang Machinery Factory, you see?" Chen Yu asked in a low voice.

"How old is he? What will happen? Li Dazhu asked casually.

"I'm the same age, thirteen years old this year, and I don't know anything in the factory." Chen Yu said.

"You ask him, would he like to come to our maintenance department as an apprentice?" Li Dazhu proposed.

"Are apprentices paid?" Chen Yu asked again.

"One hundred and fifteen per month, plus two hundred after becoming a regular, that is, three hundred and five a month, plus subsidies and bonuses, the regular workers of the maintenance department can get about five hundred per month." Li Dazhu said.

"Then it's troublesome Director Li, I'll go back and ask him if he would like to come to you as an apprentice." Chen Yu thanked him, the apprentice's monthly salary was one hundred and fifteen, which was enough, and the eldest and second uncles picked up mud for people, and it was only fifteen yuan a day.

The treatment of Sanyang Machinery Factory is very good, ordinary employees can get three or four hundred a month, the maintenance department has technical allowance and post allowance, can get about five hundred a month, in all factories in Tengshan County, the salary of Sanyang Machinery Factory belongs to the top.

The sun was very strong in the afternoon, Chen Weiguo and Xia Yu did not threshk the grain, but took a nap at home drying the millet, and would go out after half past four.

"Weiguo, the new house has been built, what are your plans?" Zhao Hong asked.

"Xiaoyu said to open a noodle shop, and we don't know what to do?" Chen Weiguo said with a frown.

"Why don't we open a fruit shop?" Xia Yu suggested.

"Do you know where to buy fruit? Do you know where the fruit is better and cheaper? We don't know anything, and if we don't pay attention, we will lose everything. Chen Weiguo asked worriedly.

"What then?" Xia Yu asked.

After the new house was built, the two began to worry about their future livelihood, they had never done business, they were at a loss to do business, and they had no confidence, and they discussed for a long time, but they didn't think of any countermeasures.

"I'd better go out and work, you open a commissary in town." Chen Weiguo said after thinking about it.

At half past seven in the evening, Chen Yu, who earned three thousand two a day, returned home happily.

"Xiaoyu, the house in the town has been built, what do you think?" Chen Weiguo asked.

"There is no one to rent the house for the time being, and it will be easy to rent in a few years, let's open a noodle restaurant first." Chen Yu said.

"We also need craftsmanship below, we can eat it ourselves, but we can't sell it." Chen Weiguo hit the nail on the head.

"It's as simple as spending money to learn from someone else, or buying materials to practice on your own. Clean it, make it more generous, and the price is cheaper, so as long as the taste is not too bad, you can sell the noodles. Chen Yu said.

"That's just as well." Chen Weiguo nodded.
