Chapter 43: Family Affairs
At half past eleven in the evening, after returning from his uncle's house, as soon as Xu Xing entered the house, he saw Xu Jian sitting on the sofa swallowing clouds and mist.
Fortunately, the windows in the room were all open, and they weren't so choking, but Xu Xing still slapped his hand in front of his nose helplessly.
"Coming back?" Xu Jian glanced at him, pressed the almost cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, exhaled the last breath of turbidity, and then asked, "I heard from my colleague that the answer to this year's college entrance examination seems to have come out?" Have you answered the answer yes or no? ”
"I can't remember some of the answers, but I'm probably right." Xu Xing said vaguely.
It's a bit of a hassle for him to run into his parents asking about this now.
After all, his previous English scores were there, and the total score was always 420 points, hovering around the first line.
If you want him to say in front of his parents that he can score more than 140 points in English this time, I don't think anyone will believe it.
But if you want to say that you only have a passing score in English, when the results come out, it will be a few points higher, wouldn't it be very embarrassing.
This is not something that can be explained by a sentence of extraordinary performance.
Of course, Xu Xing didn't need to explain, anyway, except for the outrageous thing of rebirth, he did not cheat in the examination room.
Unless this world can detect that a person's soul in the next ten years suddenly descends on the body of ten years ago, Xu Xing's college entrance examination results are proper.
At most, it's to prevaricate the past on the grounds of "deliberately poor English in the past", others love to believe it or not.
As a parent, as long as the child's grades are really so good, and there is no cheating, of course, it is 10,000 happy, and after a long time, he will take the initiative to find a reason to fool himself.
But at the moment, Xu Jian didn't know his real results after all, so he asked: "How much can you estimate?" ”
"English is all multiple-choice questions, and I can't really remember the answers." Xu Xing said helplessly, "Chinese, mathematics and physics are a bit impressive, if there are no mistakes in the composition, the three subjects can add up to 350 points." ”
"350 points plus one English, then if you can pass the English test with 90 points, that is a total score of 440 points." Xu Jian pondered the score, "How many lines did you get last year?" ”
"The 3+1 policy that was just changed this year has no reference value for last year." Xu Xing said, "However, in the previous three joint entrance examinations, the first line was about 420 points. ”
From 2012 to 2017, the college entrance examination has been 3+1, that is, three major subjects, plus one minor subject.
This year happened to be the first year, and I was bumped into by Xu Xing's group of mice.
"That means there's a play?" Xu Jian raised his eyebrows.
He knows how bad his son's English grades usually are, although it is not ridiculously bad, but he has been hovering on the passing line, which still gives him and Sun Wanhui a headache.
But at the moment, a book really seems promising?
Thinking of this, Xu Jian's mood couldn't help but ease a lot.
But soon, there was movement at the door, and Sun Wanhui, who had been busy in the clothing store for a day, came back.
The first moment he saw Sun Wanhui enter the house, Xu Jian frowned a little dissatisfied, and pretended to be unintentional and said: "Some people are busy in their own small shop all day long, and they don't know what they are busy with, and they don't know how to care about their son's college entrance examination results. ”
"What's wrong?" As soon as Sun Wanhui came home, she was angry with her husband's yin and yang, and she was immediately dissatisfied, "In the past few days of Xu Xing's college entrance examination, who came back to cook every day?" You? Who has to go on a business trip on the day of the college entrance examination and come back after the college entrance examination? ”
"Oh, that's not what I'm talking about." Xu Jian was anxious, and immediately retorted, "Do you know that the answer to the college entrance examination came out a few days ago?" Have you asked Xu Xing? I didn't ask at first glance, and I didn't know what to care about. ”
"You call caring for your son? Don't you just care about a report card? Sun Wanhui pushed back and sat on the sofa, "The exam is over, when will you know that the results are not the same?" Won't you know when the results come out? ”
"Okay, good, you're high, you don't care about grades." Xu Jian couldn't say anything about her, and shifted the battlefield and said, "Then what's going on with you lately?" Normally closes at 10 o'clock, you should have come back a long time ago, right? Why have you been so busy lately lately? ”
"Make a lot of money, tens of thousands of dollars a day." Sun Wanhui pouted.
Xu Jian sneered after hearing this: "Just your clothing store, you can make a few hundred yuan a day and burn high incense, didn't you tell me that business has been getting worse and worse recently?" ”
Sun Wanhui laughed twice and only asked, "What about you?" Recently, I have been busy with business trips, didn't I say that the position of the production manager is about to be vacated? Is there a play? ”
"Do you still have to say that?" Xu Jian glanced at her, "There are only two deputy managers in the production department, Xiao Cao has only been here for a year, so he can't take his turn." ”
"If you want me to say, you should talk to your dad and be safe." Sun Wanhui suggested.
"Say what? How long has my dad been retired from the factory? Xu Jian frowned and said, "It's just a department manager, and if you say it, it won't have a good impact." ”
Xu Xing, who was on the side, heard them talk about this, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
He recalled this incident, and Xu Jian did have the opportunity to sit in the position of department manager.
But in the end, he didn't get his wish, because that Xiao Cao was a relational household, and he had been in the position of deputy manager for a year, so he was going to the department manager.
On the contrary, Xu Jian, an old employee, was put in place, and the leader only said that he should assist Xiao Cao more and do practical things, but he turned his head and was vacated by Xiao Cao, the newly appointed department manager.
In the end, he became the bearer of the factory fire and was officially dismissed by the factory.
If his parents hadn't mentioned it today, Xu Xing would have forgotten the details here.
But even if he knew this information, it was really impossible to help his father win the position of manager.
After all, that Xiao Cao is said to be quite big.
Grandpa Xu Xing retired that year and was arranged to be the factory director, but the grandfather didn't want it, and only hung up the idle position of the deputy factory director, and the industrial zone here was quite famous.
It's just that grandpa doesn't like to go through the back door, when Xu Jian came into the factory, he also started from a front-line worker and did it step by step.
A few years ago, my grandfather had completely retired and did not interfere in the affairs of the factory, even if Xu Jianzhen went to talk to the old man, it is estimated that the effect will not be great, and in the end, it depends on the meaning of the leaders of the factory.
Thinking of this, Xu Xing didn't say much, just pretended not to hear anything.
And Sun Wanhui didn't say anything more, got up and prepared to take a bath, and only said: "I still have something to tell you, I'll go back to the house to talk later." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Great joy, just don't be scared."
"Eh, Mom and Dad, Uncle said that he will go back to the countryside the day after tomorrow, don't forget." Xu Xing didn't forget to remind before returning to the house.
"Got it." Xu Jian replied.
……
In the early hours of the morning, Sun Wanhui and Xu Jian were lying in bed.
Sun Wanhui sorted out her mood and carefully told Xu Jian about the Taobao online store in the past half a month.
After Xu Jian first heard that it was Xu Xing's kid's idea, he was a little unimpressed, thinking what the child's family could think?
But listening to it, Xu Jian felt that something was wrong, especially after hearing that there were now four sets of clothes, and there might be tens of thousands of yuan of running water every day, he suddenly frowned and interrupted: "Are you afraid that you are bluffing me?" Should you really pick up money? ”
"Who's okay to bluff you? You listen to me first, and if you don't believe it, you'll go to the store tomorrow. Sun Wanhui had a smug smile on her face, "I'm serious, but I estimate that it's a little better than before, and I feel that the order volume has been fixed in the past two days." ”
"Really?" Xu Jian still didn't believe it, after all, he only had a salary of about 15,000 a month now, which was a bonus performance year-end bonus or something, and on average, it could be more than 20,000 per month.
But according to Sun Wanhui, this Taobao online store has a gross profit of about 100,000 yuan a month?
What about liars!
"So I've been really busy lately, and I'm wondering if I should find an employee to help out." Sun Wanhui fell into sweet distress, this industry is really profitable, but tired is also really tired, and she is dealing with express parcels all day long.
"What kind of employees are you looking for? You don't know if it's sustainable. Xu Jian still didn't believe it, and only said, "Even if it's true, it is estimated that it is temporary." ”
"The Internet is developing too fast, you have to be careful not to fall into the pit."
"How many things you can sell in this store, isn't it all up to their platform? The root of life is pinched in the hands of others, and when the time comes, you will turn your head and cut your leeks with the most energy, and you are still stealing fun here? ”
Sun Wanhui was in a somewhat excited money-making boom at this time, and she couldn't listen to Xu Jian's reminder at all, she only felt that this dead man was jealous that her woman made more money than him.
"Hundreds of thousands of gross profits a month, even if you don't have to make money later, just for me to earn a few months, it will have to be the income of my physical store for several years." Sun Wanhui also said some truth, "If I don't recruit employees, will it be difficult for you to help me?" I'll give you half of the profits. ”
"Who's rare?" Xu Nut refused, turned over and covered herself with a quilt, and didn't bother to say more to her, "When I sit in the position of manager, three or four hundred thousand yuan a year is much more stable than your thing." ”
A nightly conversation ended abruptly.
The two of them lay down to sleep with their own thoughts, thinking about their own business.
